Quick Transmigration: Cub, don’t be afraid, Dad is here

Chapter 493 The government sent me three wives 3

After the meal, Yunfei went back to the room and tidied up all Yuan's belongings.

The money from the family division has long been used up, and even the burial of the parents was sold for an acre of land.

A total of three mu of good farmland and five mu of inferior farmland.

One acre is sold for burial, and one acre is sold for marriage.

Now there are only three acres of good land and three acres of low-grade land, and I haven't had time to sell the good land to study.

Therefore, Yuan's money was pitifully small, and after the wedding, all that was left of the few taels of silver was the pile of copper coins in his hand.

After counting, there were only 160 articles in total.

These days, not only the poll tax, but also the farmland tax.

Food prices have remained high.

There were so many incidents in the Bai family last year, and a strong labor force was allocated, so they had no intention of planting.

This year also did not plant.

Relying on Bai Guihua alone, she didn't grow anything except some vegetables.

But there is no such thing, the tax is also to be paid, and it has to be paid recently. In the plot, the tax this time is paid by Zhao Baozhu with the dowry.

After thinking about it, she took these 100 documents and went out. Du Qingliu, who was sweeping the yard, didn't even dare to ask.

At this time, Zhang Dujuan had already gone to collect firewood, and Zhao Baozhu should be digging wild vegetables.

As for the white sweet-scented osmanthus, she was either growing the vegetable field or embroidering purses in the room.

When passing by the kitchen, Yunfei stopped in his tracks when he saw that the water tank seemed to be running out of water.

The well in the courtyard doesn't have much water, and it needs to be fetched with buckets. Usually, several women take turns to dry it.

but now……

In Yuanshen's eyes, they were labor force.

In Yunfei's eyes, they are three pregnant women and an underage girl T_T.

So he could only walk to the mouth of the well by himself, pick up the wooden bucket next to him, and start fetching water.

They didn't leave until the water tank was full. After all, when he came back, dinner might be ready, and of course they had to fetch the water for dinner themselves.

His conscience aches for pregnant women to do heavy work.

Du Qingliu, who witnessed the whole process, was at a loss.

Others thought that her pregnancy changed this man, but she didn't think so.

What can make him look at her differently is just because she can say a few arty words, and she has a good hand.

After all, at home, she also needs to please her father in order to have a good life.

So I have already practiced the craft of grinding ink.

Seeing Yunfei walking out of the door, Du Qingliu bit her lip, wanting to ask where to go, but dared not come back for dinner.

Because she also asked this question last time, which made her husband dislike her, and made her less concerned about asking men.

…………

Yunfei took those copper coins and walked towards the route to the town.

In remote mountain villages like this small country, there are only market days where there are ox carts or donkey carts.

So there is no one on the road at the moment.

Seeing no one, he simply used the skill of flying over the eaves and walls, and traveled a long distance in an instant.

It would have taken an hour to walk, but under his shortening, it only took four to ten minutes.

When it was close to the gate of the town, it stopped and walked in slowly.

Sanshui Town.

There is not even a decent plaque, it is dilapidated, and even the officers and soldiers guarding the gate are lazy.

Come in and out as you please.

Except for stopping the bullock cart to collect the fee for entering the town, they don't care about anything else.

The walls are also low and have many cracks.

With Yunfei's skills, there is no problem at all to leap over this wall.

He walked obediently into the town.

There are some small vendors scattered on both sides of the street.

"Little son, look at the rouge, buy some to give to elders or sisters at home, wives are good."

"Young Master, look at this handkerchief. The flowers and plants on it are embroidered extremely elegantly. It is a pattern specially asked for by the embroiderer."

"Candied haws, sell candied haws."

At this time, it was about ten o'clock in the morning, and the people who bought vegetables in the town had already gone home to cook.

So there are very few pedestrians.

Yunfei wandered all the way and was sold by many people.

But he didn't buy anything.

Eggs cost three Wen each, lean meat costs eighteen Wen a catty, and fatty meat costs 25 Wen.

A small handful of five cents for green vegetables.

Regarding the price of food, it is generally quite high, especially in the market in the town.

It might be better in the village.

Vegetables used to cost three Wen, but now that the weather is getting colder, the price has increased by two Wen.

A small handful can fry a plate, which is enough for a family to eat.

There is only one pharmacy and one pawn shop in the town, and there is only one restaurant, as well as the teahouse.

In such a small town, there are really not many shops. After all, not everyone can afford the expensive shop rent and merchant tax.

In the small market, several butchers were still selling pork, and there was still a lot left in front of the stalls.

There are three butchers in the town, and Zhao Baozhu's father is one of them.

Thinking that her father would beat her heartily to cause a miscarriage later, Yunfei directly skipped his booth.

Butcher Zhao didn't know him either, after all, Yuanshen had never visited the house after marriage.

That's why this dynasty hates daughters so much, because it is obviously losing money.

Being taken away for marriage, not to mention the betrothal gift, rarely even going back to her mother's house, and even being looked down upon by her husband's family, it is possible for a son-in-law not to visit the house for the rest of his life.

And because she is a woman, her mother's family dare not come to ask for anything, otherwise, if she divorces her wife, the reputation of the woman's family will be rotten for hundreds of miles.

"Young master, what do you want? There is still a lot of fat, do you want some?"

"Weigh two catties of lean meat, and then three catties of fat."

The butcher responded, raised the knife to the ground, cut the meat apart and weighed it.

"Look, son, it's exactly two catties."

"Ah."

Then came the fatty meat, and deliberately took a small piece of pork liver as a discount.

"A total of 1 money and 11 coins."

Yunfei took out the string of one hundred coins, counted eleven copper coins and handed them to him.

"Thank you son, I'll come back next time after eating. These are all big fat pigs raised by our family. They are delicious."

"Row."

After he left with the meat, he only had fifty coins left on him.

I want to go to the miscellaneous grain store to buy some seasonings, but I'm afraid I don't have enough money.

He could only walk into a pawnshop in town.

This was decided from the very beginning, the original body is the original body, and he has money in his pocket, so it is not enough to let others pay the tax for the family with a dowry.

After entering the shop, he took out a pair of silver bracelets wrapped with flowers and handed them to the shopkeeper who was watching the shop.

A regular silver bracelet, the pattern is a little more delicate, but nothing else is surprising.

So it's not very outstanding.

The shopkeeper took a few glances and said: "Death is eight taels, life is five taels."

"Die as twelve."

The pawnshop shopkeeper didn't say anything, just picked up a pen and paper and began to write the contract.

After finishing writing, hand it over, and ask Yunfei to press his fingerprints, pawning a ticket for each person.

Then gave him ten taels of silver.

For the price I set, everyone thought the price was ten taels, because the silver of the bracelet itself was worth ten taels, but the patterns and handwork were exquisite enough to sell for more than ten taels.

Since it is a pawn, it will naturally suffer some losses, since it is a second-hand bracelet after all.

The shopkeeper didn't play tricks with Yunfei either, because the person who came here was obviously not the kind of person who could fool around, so there was no need to argue.
