The whole family sat down, and Chen Yu said: "No one in our family has a spare meal. We all need some pocket money to live. From now on, everyone will have fifty cash pocket money a month. Who can do it?"
If you make a mistake, don't blame me for deducting the pocket money rudely. The children are still young, and a child of ten cents can save it by himself. He can cross out what he wants to spend, and he can control what he wants to save.
"
Zheng Yue'e and Li Xiuying looked at each other, and Mrs. Cui spoke first: "Mom, my body is a burden on the family. I don't want this money."
"This is the next thing." Chen Yu glanced at Mrs. Cui and said slowly: "No one will get sick from eating whole grains. Whether it is an adult or a child, if someone has a headache or a fever, the money for treatment will be enough."
Come out of the public house."
"Mom, you make the decision. Whatever you say will be what you say." Zheng Yue'e is a quick-tongued person. As a daughter-in-law, she is very in favor of her mother-in-law's arrangement. She takes care of her family and her small family, so she can live a normal life.
Chen Yu took the account book and glanced at it: "The third thing is to be the head of the house. Our Fu Niang is not suitable to be the head of the house. She is still a child. She needs to learn more and see more. Yue'e, although you are not the eldest daughter-in-law of the family, but
Our family is in the current situation. From now on, when you are in charge of the family, you and I will reconcile the accounts every month."
Zheng Yuee stood up with a cry and waved her hands quickly: "No, no! Mom, I can't read."
"My second brother is a carpenter and is good at writing, writing and arithmetic. I'll let my second brother teach you later. The boss will have to worry about it. I'll give you an extra ten cents every month. That's it." Chen Yu said and pointed to the table.
The money on the table: "There is no need to save these fifty taels of silver. The house at home needs to be repaired and some good land purchased. The third child needs to educate the children. We cannot delay the children's education and literacy. We need to buy all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones..."
Before Chen Yu finished speaking, someone outside called the door.
Su Funiang quickly put away everything on the table, and Su Erlang went out.
"Mom, are you asking for debt?" Su Fu Niang muttered in a low voice. Su Silang was a gambler, and almost all the people who came to the house were asking for debt.
Just as Chen Yu was about to get up, Zheng Yue'e hurriedly stopped Chen Yu: "Mom, Shi'an and the others are all at home. Don't go out."
"Mother, mother." Su Liulang came in hurriedly: "Go and take a look, a carriage is coming outside and wants to see you."
Chen Yu walked in front, followed by his wives. When he went out, he saw a carriage parked outside. The carriage had no shed and there were many things on the carriage. Standing next to the carriage was a middle-aged man in his early forties.
, wearing a satin gown, with a very respectful expression on his face.
"Old madam, I am Li Fu, the steward of the Li Mansion, and I have been ordered to deliver a thank you gift." When Li Fu saw Chen Yu, he quickly bowed and spoke.
Chen Yu took two steps over and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Butler Li. We can't accept this gift. The master already rewarded it when we just left."
Li Fu smiled: "The old lady doesn't know something. The old lady in the house feels more and more powerful now, but this long-term illness can't be cured at once, right? This is what our old lady sent here with every order, and also
I have a heartfelt request."
Chen Yu knew that he wanted to treat the disease himself. He could not do anything else. Healing the disease was no problem. He invited Butler Li to come in and take a seat. Butler Li said: "I will come to pick you up from now on."
, when the old lady recovers, there will definitely be a big thank you."
"That's okay." Chen Yu didn't refuse, so he accepted it politely. Su Erlang and others moved the things into the house where the fourth child originally lived. After seeing off Butler Li, Chen Yu gave the order
Zheng Yuee went to count the gifts and set up a ledger.
With a large family and a large population, it’s not okay to have no rules.
The gifts sent by the Li family are really complete, including rice, sugar, salt, a large vat of meat oil and half a fan of pork, six pieces of fine cotton cloth for clothing, coarse cloth for making shoes, and a lot of snacks and fruits.
.
These are too valuable for the Su family.
Zheng Yue'e called Li Xiuying to help. Cui Liangxiu was not in good health, so Zheng Yue'e asked her to think about making clothes for the children. Among the three sisters-in-law, Cui was the most skillful.
Su Funiang was really shocked by this incident. She sat next to Chen Yu and said, "Mom, I want to learn medicine. I must learn it."
Chen Yu originally planned to teach Su Funiang to learn medicine, and there was no reason not to agree. However, studying medicine is a matter of life and death, and it cannot be learned with a hot head. No matter Su Funiang's temperament, it would not be possible without hard work and practice.
That's fine, so Chen Yu said to Su Funiang: "You follow your third brother to read and read. There is no limit on how long the children can be enlightened, but mother will give you half a year. During this half year, you have to follow me into the mountains to identify herbal medicines, and you can't eat them."
You can't do this hardship and this business, lest you harm others and yourself."
Although Su Funiang was only fourteen years old, she had been out running things for more than a day or two. She was extremely transparent and immediately nodded in agreement with Chen Yu.
The three daughters-in-law outside have their own division of labor, and Chen Yu doesn't want to get involved. People have to learn how to use others. If people in this big family want to live a smooth life, they must each perform their duties.
When Zheng Yue'e came in with a red face and a ledger, Chen Yu was playing with herbs.
"Mother." Zheng Yue'e twisted her clothes awkwardly.
Chen Yu didn't even look up: "As long as the account books are clearly written, we will have a tooth-beating ceremony tonight."
"Hey." Zheng Yue'e agreed happily. She placed Xinyiheng's account book in Chen Yu's hand and immediately said, "My wife is going to make arrangements, so I have time to look at it."
After saying that, he ran out of the door with a somewhat desperate attitude.
Chen Yu pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hand to open the account book, originally she was just smiling, but after seeing the account book, she burst out laughing. Zheng Yue'e outside the door almost wanted to cry, she was furious, waiting for the child to become enlightened, and learned secretly by herself!
It’s no wonder that Chen Yuxiao saw that the account books were crooked and twisted like ghost drawings. The cloth was drawn to look like a piece of cloth. There were as many drawings as there were pieces of cloth. The pork was drawn with a pig head, and the snacks were drawn with four circles...
Thinking that this is also a scholar's house, this kind of account book is really amazing.
"Mother is smiling so happily?" Li Xiuying, who was busy in the kitchen, asked Zheng Yuee in a low voice.
Zheng Yue'e blushed so much that she bled: "Why are you laughing at our account book? As for the bad idea you gave, you might as well let the third child write it."
"Second sister-in-law, if you really want third brother to write the account book, can mother understand it?" Li Xiuying smiled and added water to the pot, with rice ready next to it.
Zheng Yue'e was immediately comforted. She also felt that Chen Yu was smiling happily. Although the account book was a bit ugly, her mother-in-law could understand it.
The sisters-in-law were busy cooking, and Chen Yu got up and went to the third child's room.
Su Sanlang was at his desk writing furiously, while Cui Liangxiu was using a thin burned wooden stick to sketch the appearance of the clothes, using thick straw paper.
Cui Liangxiu raised his head when he heard the footsteps and quickly got down to the ground: "Mom, if you need something, just call me."
"Well." Chen Yu sat down and said, "I'm going to check your pulse. Sit down." After saying that, he glanced at Cui Liangxiu's sketch of the clothes. His mind moved and he came up with a bold idea...
