Chapter 18 The Miserable Woman 18
"Six hundred and sixty-eight yuan. Yuanchun killed two wild boars, otherwise it wouldn't have sold for so much money." Feng Dasheng was also very excited.
After coming out of the black market, his mind was in a daze and he couldn't believe that this was true.
His family really made a fortune.
"Six... more than six hundred?" This was the first time Feng Sansheng had heard of such a large sum of money. "Brother, can we build a brick and tile house?"
"Why build a brick house?" Grandma Feng glared at her youngest son. "Our family is so poor that we don't even have the money to marry Guoan off. Now we want to build a brick house. How are you going to tell the villagers how we're going to get the money?"
"Mom, so what you mean is that we can't spend this money?" Feng Sansheng was very disappointed that he couldn't live in a spacious and bright brick house.
Grandma Feng sighed, looked at the pile of money, and said, "This money can be spent, but it can't be used to build a house or buy new clothes. Let's keep it for now and spend it bit by bit."
"Mom is right, third brother. Everyone in the village knows about our family's financial situation. If we suddenly have a sum of money, those people with conjunctivitis will talk about us. If we want to stay in the village, we cannot touch this money for the time being." Feng Dasheng said.
Ding Xiaotao reached out and twisted her husband's arm, cursing softly, "You idiot, mother said that the money can't be spent, then it can't be spent. Mother is so old, she thinks more than us, we just listen to her."
It was finally decided that the money would not be touched for the time being and would be kept by Grandma Feng.
However, after putting the money away, Grandma Feng said to her sons and daughters-in-law, "This money was earned by Yuanchun with her life. We can't keep it all in the Feng family. When Yuanchun gets married in the future, we will give her half of it as a dowry. Not only this money, but also half of the money Yuanchun earns in the future will be given to her as a dowry."
My family members have no objection.
Only Feng Sansheng muttered quietly, "Giving Yuanchun so much money as a dowry, what if her in-laws find out and force her to hand it over? Wouldn't that mean that the money will just go to her in-laws for nothing?"
Grandma Feng snorted coldly, "We Feng family members are not pushy. If anyone dares to bully our daughter, we will go to their door and beat them up."
How could a woman who could easily kill a wild boar be easily bullied by her husband's family?
Grandma Feng was not worried. On the last day, Yuanchun took her two cousins and went to the mountains again.
This time, not only did they kill a group of wild boars, a total of seven big and small, but Yuanchun also dug up two ginseng plants, one large and one small.
The wild boar and more than twenty pheasants and rabbits were sold for a total of more than 1,200 yuan, and the ginseng was hidden by Grandma Feng.
After that, it entered the busy autumn harvest season.
Feng Dasheng went to the village chief to plead for Ding Chunli, and during the autumn harvest, the village chief arranged some easier work for Ding Chunli, but the easier work also earned fewer work points.
Originally she could earn eight work points a day, but after changing her job, Ding Chunli could only earn five work points a day, which was three points less. Many pregnant women who were originally jealous of Ding Chunli suddenly had nothing to say.
After all, work points are food. If they are given less food, they would rather work harder than earn less work points.
In this way, Ding Chunli's job change did not arouse any opposition from the villagers. Instead, some people laughed at Qiu Guihua for being useless and a very aggressive person who could not even control her daughter-in-law.
It's just a pregnancy, so you earn three less work points.
After a month of autumn harvest, how much less food will be distributed?
If this happened before, Qiu Guihua would also feel distressed, but now... who cares about a few work points? Her grandson is more important.
