Of course, Ning Wenhui would not think that Ning Pengpeng, who had never read a book, could say such great truths because there must be an expert behind his back.
Ning Pengpeng replied shyly: "It was Shopkeeper Su from Chunfeng Tower who told me what I wanted to say to my uncle."
"No wonder!"
Ning Wenhui stroked his beard, squinted and nodded.
"Then how many acres of sacrificial land are you planning to buy?"
Ning Pengpeng thought for a while, and now she had more than a thousand taels of silver in her hand, but her family didn't know it.
People in the village also knew that the Ning family made money, but there was no telling how much they made.
So, she stretched out three fingers and said to the patriarch.
"Uncle, I am also the guard daughter of the Ning family, and I will be buried in the ancestral grave of the Ning family in the future.
Therefore, in addition to leaving some money to build a house, I plan to buy thirty acres of sacrificial land for the clan.
This sacrificial land is leased and cultivated by the poor members of the clan. After deducting taxes, only 40% of the rent is given to the clan.
At that time, the 40% of the rent will be used to pay for the hiring of the gentleman."
Nowadays, one acre of good land costs about 10 taels of silver. If it is 30 acres, that is 300 taels of silver.
The output of one acre of good land, although the cultivation is backward, can still produce more than 200 kilograms of grain if the annual harvest is good.
Forty percent is equivalent to forty kilograms of grain, and thirty acres is equivalent to twelve hundred kilograms of grain.
One pound of millet is now six cents, and one thousand two hundred pounds is seven thousand two hundred cents, which is seven taels.
Now, working as a teacher in the town only makes about five taels of silver a year.
Therefore, the money is not a lot, but it is not too little either.
"As for building a school, the clan had acquired land, and my family happened to be building a house, so we conveniently built the school together.
I only have one request, and that is that all children from the Ning family can go to school, regardless of gender."
Ning'an Zong and Ning Anchang looked at each other, counted their money secretly, and took a deep breath.
Darling, buying land and building a house will cost at least three to four hundred taels of silver, right?
They don't believe that the entire Ning family's net worth is available.
In other words, just relying on the business done by Ning Pengpeng during this period and the money from selling Zi, it must have been 400 yuan!
Their minds were full of plans and their eyes were full of fire.
"Ning, you can do this for the clan, we must all remember it in our hearts.
As long as they are descendants of my Ning family, they can naturally go to school to learn how to read and write.
Don't worry about the land to build the school, just use the vacant land next to the ancestral hall to build it.
You have already spent so much money to buy a sacrificial field and build a school, so you will pay for some materials, and for the rest, naturally, the people in the clan will help build it."
Ning Wenhui felt that Ning Pengpeng only made such a small request, and it had something to do with her keeping the family and recruiting a son-in-law.
Thinking of his great-grandson and great-granddaughter, if his grandson hadn't left a great-grandson, I'm afraid he would be like Ning Wenpei and find a son-in-law for his great-granddaughter.
As for pushing people, Ning Wenhui directly made the decision and told Ning Youzhi to remember to call the clan members to lay the foundation next to the ancestral hall first, and Ning Youzhi quickly agreed.
The clan leader made the decision directly. Even if the two clan elders had different opinions, they could not object anymore and could only nod in agreement.
However, if you are looking for someone to buy thirty acres of land at once, you have to go to the middleman to inquire.
After buying the land, we can then find a gentleman who is willing to live in Dahuaishu Village permanently.
After discussing all this, Ning Pengpeng went home.
"Mom, are you crazy?"
When Ning Laosan learned that his mother had spent three hundred taels to buy a sacrificial field for the clan, he immediately jumped up and blurted out.
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment. When she heard her man talking about her mother-in-law, she immediately slapped Ning Laosan hard on the back.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is a reason for mother to do what she did. Can you listen to what mother has to say before you speak?"
Ning Laosan was beaten so hard by his wife that he grimaced, but his heart ached even more.
That's three hundred taels. How many pastries does he have to sell to save so much money?
By the way, you can’t have so much money selling pastries!
The money shared from selling pastries was all in front of myself and my fourth child. Where did my mother get so much money?
"This money is from last time's prescription for hanging frost peanuts and pulping truck. I sold them both to shopkeeper Su.
You brothers, I don’t expect much from you!
I only hope that Yongpeng Yongkang and Mian'er Hong'er can shine brightly."
Hearing that his mother actually included her sons and daughters, Ning Laosan was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
Although making money is important, as parents, we all have the same thoughts when it comes to wanting our sons to succeed.
Just like my mother said, even if I can make money, how much money can I make?
If they earn too much money and offend others, like my mother did, and suffer an unexpected disaster, without Shopkeeper Su, who in the Ning family can save them?
Ning Laosan was silent, and since Wang was now a mother-in-law, he would not jump out and say anything at all.
As for Ning Laoer, he would naturally not object to Ning Pengpeng's words.
Ning Laosi has not yet gotten married, and no one is giving him pillow talk, so naturally he has no problem with it either.
In Ning Laosi's view, the families have been separated. The money earned by the mother belongs to the mother. She can spend it however she wants, and no one else can control it!
Ning Youxi?
Ning Youxi had no right to speak. If she hadn't gone to Liu Daya because of her troubles, she wouldn't have caused such a huge disaster.
During these few days in prison, Ning Youxi deeply reflected on herself.
As soon as he came back, he stayed in his house to pick beans and didn't come out unless he was eating!
Ning Mian'er also picked up beans with her aunt. Although she said she wouldn't make cakes, she still had to pick up the beans.
Even if you don't sell it, you can still eat it yourself.
The little ones don't know yet, but their grandmother is planning to give them an unforgettable childhood.
Early the next morning, the construction of a house, which had been stopped because the Ning family was arrested and taken to the county jail, started again.
Originally, the villagers in Dahuaishu Village were still muttering about the cause of the accident to the Ning family.
As a result, before noon, Li Zheng dropped a piece of news that shocked the whole village.
Mrs. Ning actually gave 300 taels to buy sacrificial land for the clan, and also planned to build a free school in Dahuaishu Village and invite her husband to teach the children of the clan how to read and read for free.
In their impression, Mrs. Ning, who was stingy and selfish, would actually do this?
Even if you beat them to death, they won't believe it.
However, Li Zheng admitted it himself and called people from the Ning family to lay the foundation of the school next to the Ning family ancestral hall. This made the entire Dahuaishu Village villagers not believe it!
Everyone rushed around to tell each other, and stopped to discuss with each other from time to time.
The shrewd ones reacted quickly and ran to ask Li Zheng, if they were not from the Ning family, could they go to school together?
When they learned that people from the Feining family only needed to hand over the required bundles to their husband, and if he agreed, they would not object, the whole village became excited!
