Chapter 855 Raising the Level
It was not yet noon when Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Saburo returned to the manor. Qiao Xiaomai soaked the abalone and other things in the water, and then started to make lunch.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhang came.

Mrs. Zhang came to inform Tong Sanlang of Zhang Sheng's happy event.

"You have won Juren, and your Brother Sheng also thinks that you have a good face, so this time you specially put the banquet at Jiweiju. A table costs 30 taels. He ordered ten tables. When the time comes, you, the master of Juren, must pay for it." go."

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang added, "Qiao Xiaomai has to go too. She cooked for the Supreme Emperor and has a great reputation, so she has to show her face to support your cousin."

She hated Qiao Xiaomai so much in her heart, she gritted her teeth and felt weird when she said this.

Tong Sanlang Quan pretended not to hear it, nodded and said, "Success."

He won the Juren, but his family and relatives did not get any benefits. Now that there is a happy event to invite him, he will definitely go there.

"When you go, you should bring some good things, but don't lose your status as a master." Mrs. Zhang confessed again.

"You gave Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue a ten tael silver lock. At that time, you were nothing. Now that you have won the exam, the gift you gave your cousin and nephew has to be upgraded."

Tong Sanlang heard the words, and asked directly, "How high is the grade? How high is it?"

"Now that your family has a big business, you should pay 100 taels no matter what." Zhang said.

Tong Sanlang was speechless, "At the beginning, the alimony agreed for you and father was only 240 taels a year, now are you sure you want 100 taels?"

"As I said just now, you were nothing at that time. Now that your status has been raised, the alimony has to be raised too. I am the mother of Master Juren, and my daily expenses for food and clothing are the same as those of people in the village. Let people know that I have a different identity at a glance." Zhang's tone already carried the meaning of an order.

Tong Sanlang, "...How much did you mention?"

"200 taels a month, and we have to separate. Your father and I each have 100 taels. The 600 taels you gave last time are in your father's hands. Your second sister-in-law is pregnant and I have to ask her if I want to make up for her." Your father wants money."

Mentioning this matter, Mrs. Zhang was full of resentment.

Back then, in order to marry Qiao Maimai, she hid in her room and pretended to be sick on a hot day, but when Qiaomai came in, she didn't get any benefit.

And in order to remind Tong Sanlang to prevent Qiao Xiaomai from cuckolding him, he was beaten severely.

She can be regarded as stealing chickens but not losing money, her money is not lost, and her body is suffering.

So at this moment she has to tell Tong Sanlang that the money must be given separately.

"Your father is your own father, and I am your own mother. There is absolutely no reason to give him all the silver and I don't have a copper coin in my hand."

Tong Sanlang, "...Although I won the exam, all I can get is five hundred catties of grain every year. Where can I get 200 taels of silver every month?"

"You have a share of the money Qiao Mai earned." Zhang said.

"That's from Qiao's family."

"You fool!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but raised her finger and poked his shoulder fiercely when she heard this, "Don't tell me you can't work for her all day for nothing? She can earn seven or eight copper coins a day by working for her. You It’s Master Juren, if you work for her, you’ll have to earn dozens of taels a day!”

"Not a few dozen taels." Tong Sanlang shook his head, "Let's talk about it next year, this year's money has already been given."
