The Journey Of The Peasant Mother-in-Law

.
But with many children in the family and the high expenses of their education, as well as the cost of marrying off their sons and daughters, the original owner thought that having a surplus of a dozen or so taels of silver in the family in the next few years would be good enough.

But now, listening to Zhulan’s meaning, and looking at these cloth bags and money boxes, he had to think of the original owner’s mother.
What an ability she had!

Anyway, he didn’t believe that the original owner’s wife had this ability.

Zhulan counted the cloth bags, there were eight in total.
Then she first opened the money box, and poured out all the contents of the money box, “Here is the land deed for twenty acres of land, the house deed, fifteen taels of silver and copper coins.
One thousand three hundred and five, there is still one or two silver taels left, and that’s all I have in the money box.”

Zhou Shuren nodded, the money in the money box was similar to the original owner’s estimate, and looked at the cloth bag, “What about these?”

Zhulan put the money box back and began to unpack the cloth bag.
There were three different colors of bags, and there were bite marks on them, indicating that rats had gnawed on them.
Although she was not afraid of rats, she still felt disgusted.
In fact, she had never seen a rat before, but the silver taels motivated her to continue.

Zhulan opened all of them, and the two of them could see clearly.
Each gray cloth bundle contained ten taels of silver, and there were three of them, totaling thirty taels.
There were two red cloth bundles, each of which dazzled the eyes of both Zhulan and Zhou Shuren.
Wow, gold! In modern times, no one would buy more than ten gold ingots and put them together, right? Each bundle contained five one-tael gold ingots, totaling ten taels of gold.

One tael of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver, so in total, the gold was worth one hundred taels of silver.

Zhulan had a good idea of what was going on.
These were the five biggest bundles, each of which required digging into the mud.
The remaining three were smaller, two of which had been retrieved from the ceiling beams and one from the ground.

Zhou Shuren looked at the remaining three cloth bags with anticipation.
Zhu Lan opened them one by one.
One cloth bag contained two pairs of silver bracelets, a few pairs of silver earrings, and a few silver hairpins.
In the other cloth bag was a pair of gold bracelets dragon and phoenix bracelet, two rings, and a few small gold earrings, and the last bag had a jade pendant.
The jade pendant was the best type, mutton fat jade.
