Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chapter 412 What to buy?

Mrs. Sun, accompanied by her several strong sons, stood in the crowd and was the first to shout at the top of her voice: "No objection, absolutely no objection! It was Xiuying who helped us become wealthy and live a good life today. If it weren't for Xiuying, we wouldn't have this stable life. I'm afraid we would have starved to death in that terrible famine. We must all remember Xiuying's kindness and not lose our conscience!"

Aunt Li also hurriedly shouted, "That's right! Without Sister Xiuying, how could we be where we are today? We have enough food and clothes, and there's extra money at home, all thanks to Sister Xiuying. We are all grateful people, and that 10% is what Sister Xiuying deserves. It's only natural, and no one can argue with it!"

"Yes, no problem." A strong man in the crowd shouted loudly.

"No problem." Others echoed one after another.

"Well, since everyone has no objection, then we will distribute the silver according to what is recorded in the account book. Everyone listen carefully, if you have any questions, you can raise them immediately, and we will not recognize them later." The old village chief looked serious, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone present.

Afan said loudly, "Everyone please stand outside the line and don't disrupt the order. Come over only when you hear your name called."

While Afan was talking, Awang had already skillfully used a bamboo pole to carefully draw a straight line on the ground.

Taohua cleared her throat and shouted louder, "Wang Fuping, last quarter you delivered a total of 10 kilograms of sweet potato flour. Here is taels of silver."

Wang Fuping walked forward happily, wiped his hands hurriedly, carefully took the purse handed to him by Shi Liu, and couldn't wait to open it and take a look.

Taohua handed the account book to Wang Fuping again and said with a smile, "Please take a closer look and make sure it's correct. If you have no objection, please put your fingerprint here."

Wang Fuping happily extended his thumb to get a red mark, then stamped his handprint on the account book. He said with a smile, "Yes, yes, no objection, not at all. I'll definitely pay more next quarter. Now that I have my daughter helping me, things will go much faster."

Wang Fuping held up five fingers and said confidently, "Next quarter, I will deliver 500 kilograms of sweet potato flour."

Wang Fuping received the silver with great joy and hurried home. As he walked, he thought to himself, "I never expected to get 10 taels of silver. This is really a considerable sum."

It works out to be more than three taels of silver a month, which is enough to keep the family well fed and clothed. Maybe I can even buy a few feet of flowered cloth to make a new dress for my daughter, and buy some candy and snacks for Xiaolong.

Taohua held the account book in her hand and then raised her voice and shouted, "Mrs. Sun."

Hearing her name being called, Mrs. Sun's face flushed with excitement, and her voice was full of excitement: "I'm coming, I'm coming."

Taohua smiled at Mrs. Sun, flipping through the account book in her hand and said, "Mrs. Sun, your family contributed a total of 1000 catties last quarter. According to the agreed-upon profit distribution, your family will receive 50 taels of silver."

Shi Liu smiled, held the purse in both hands, and handed it to Mrs. Sun, saying softly, "Mrs. Sun, take a look, is the quantity correct?"

Mrs. Sun took the purse, her eyes narrowed into slits with joy. She squeezed the purse tightly in her hand and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes."

Taohua handed the account book forward again and said patiently, "Mrs. Sun, please take a closer look at the account book and confirm whether there are any errors in the records. If you have no objections, please put your fingerprint here."

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Sun's voice trembled with excitement. She nodded repeatedly, then stretched out her finger, dipped it, and firmly stamped her handprint on the account book.

Xiuying stood quietly by, watching her two daughters busying themselves with gentle eyes. A gratified smile appeared on her face from time to time, and she nodded gently to them.

Afan and Awang also stood upright at the long table, striving to maintain order. The four of them worked in perfect harmony, and the entire process of distributing the silver proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.

The villagers who received the silver beamed with satisfaction, thanked Xiuying and the old village chief one after another, and then left one after another, feeling very satisfied. The crowd that had been bustling under the old locust tree gradually thinned out.

The villagers of Futian Village now have real money in their hands, they have hope in life, and they feel confident. They also dare to think about things that they never dared to think about before.

For example, renovating and expanding the house, teaching the children to read, or buying some new furniture in town. Those dreams that were once out of reach now seem within reach.

Mrs. Sun sat on the kang in the room, staring at the fifty taels of silver without blinking, her heart still pounding and not calming down.

Her face was filled with disbelief as she murmured to herself, "I never thought our family would have fifty taels of silver." She turned to look at her daughter beside her and excitedly grabbed her hand, "Look at this silver, my daughter! It belongs to our family."

Huahua was quietly embroidering a handkerchief. When she heard her mother's words, she looked up and smiled and replied, "Mom, yes, this is our family's money. You and my brother worked hard day and night making sweet potato flour to earn it."

"My child, tell me, what should we buy with this money? How about keeping it for your dowry? I heard Qingfeng is coming back soon." Mrs. Sun looked at her daughter lovingly, her eyes full of concern for her daughter's future.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Huahua's face instantly flushed bright red, like the sunset glow, and she shyly turned her head away. "This is all earned by you and your brothers through hard work. How can you give it all to me as a dowry?" she said, putting down the handkerchief in her hand.

"Our house has been repaired, and Jindan, Tiedan, and Goudan all have their own houses. We have enough food and a stable income, and we lack nothing now." Aunt Sun sighed involuntarily, her eyes full of satisfaction with her current life.

"I never thought that in such a short time, we would have built three adobe houses. With the previous one, we now have four. It seems that our decision to follow Xiuying was absolutely the right one."

Sun Huahua pursed her lips and said firmly, "Mom, Jindan, Tiedan, and Goudan are also getting married. We need money everywhere in the house. How can I take all the money from the family by myself?"

This is unacceptable both morally and logically. If Qingfeng despises this marriage because of my family background, then it only means that I have entrusted my trust to the wrong person, and such a person is better off not wanting me.

This money should be saved for my brothers to marry. The most important thing is that we can live a better life together as a family."
