Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 140

Zhao's expression choked, and he said unwillingly: "Then how much are you willing to give, too little and you will not be able to marry a good wife."

Luo Jinxiu looked at Yun Jinghao and asked him to count, but the latter said without thinking, "20 taels."

Zhao said dissatisfied: "This is too little!"

"What's less is less." Luo Jinxiu snorted coldly: "No family in the village needs 20 taels of dowry to marry a wife, even if it takes Yun Chenghui and his wife to have children and raise them for two or three years, it's enough."

"That was in the past. Now our Yun family has a talented man, and Cheng Hui's daughter-in-law can't be poor."

"The scholar is Yun Chengyao, not Yun Chenghui. It's only 20 taels, nothing more. If you are willing, we will set up a written document as a proof now, and you can get the money back immediately. If you are not satisfied, then Go back and find a way to collect the dowry, anyway, this is something that parents should worry about, we have a lot of things to do every day, and we don’t have time to bargain with you here, do you think you are going to the market to buy things?"

After speaking, she made a gesture to drag Yun Jinghao away, and when Zhao saw it, she immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said, "20 taels is 20 taels! That's the deal, let's make a written statement!"

Luo Jinxiu rolled her eyes, it would have been over long ago, talking so much nonsense.

"Yun Kou, prepare the pen and paper." Luo Jinxiu gestured to the girl behind him, and Yun Kou quickly brought the pen and ink over, and Luo Jinxiu wrote the evidence, which basically said that the money was for Yun Chenghui The dowry money used for the marriage was clearly written down, and if Zhao used the money for other places in the future and used the dowry to talk about things, they would take it for granted.

This was the last time that the Second Household had financial entanglements with them. If there was another time, they would go directly to the government and let the county magistrate give an opinion.

In fact, Luo Jinxiu said that she really wished she could write a divorce letter with the entire Yun family and end the relationship thoroughly. It's a pity that no matter how hard the Yun family treats people, they didn't do anything outrageous or heinous. If they are so ruthless, they will be said to be too cold-blooded and ruthless.

Mrs. Zhao is not literate, so Luo Jinxiu can only read the written documents to her. In order to prevent Mrs. Zhao from thinking that they are fooling her, Luo Jinxiu specially called Steward Ji and Aunt Ji and asked them to give them to her respectively. Read it again.

They didn't know that Mrs. Zhao was going to come here before, so naturally they couldn't combine the contents of the document with their own people in advance. Mrs. Zhao knew that Luo Jinxiu hadn't lied to her after hearing the same content several times, and when she saw her, she would just take it out The 20 taels of silver bills were placed on the table, eyes straightened, and he pressed his fingerprint very happily.

Luo Jinxiu is also very considerate. Since Mrs. Zhao came here alone, she also said that she wanted to ask for bride price for Yun Chenghui. This money will definitely not be handed over to the public. It is easy to be discovered if she directly kicks the body with 20 taels of silver. Tickets are different. A thin piece of paper can be easily hidden anywhere.

Of course, when the Zhao family really uses the money to beg Yun Chenghui for a wife, the Yun family will definitely not be able to hide it, but by then the money that should be spent has already been spent, and the Yun family will not be able to ask for the money back for Yun Chenghui. Let Cheng Hui be a bachelor.

As for the possible quarrel between the Zhao family and the Yun family because of this, it has nothing to do with them.

After Mrs. Zhao left as stealthily as when she came, Luo Jinxiu directly handed over the paperwork to Yun Jinghao and said, "Take it to the yamen to file a case! In case they refuse to admit it and say it's fake."

The private agreement is all nonsense, and it has to be cleared by the government to make people feel at ease.

Yun Jinghao also had this plan, so he put away the receipt and said, "I'll do it myself tomorrow."

After autumn, the Liangpi Workshop’s daily shipments of Liangpi have slowed down significantly. Although the villagers regret that they are earning less money, they see that the autumn harvest is coming soon. Instead, put all your energy back into the ground.

Although there were still frequent quarrels at the other end of the Yun's house, those trivial matters were not worthy of the villagers' constant attention in front of Harvest, and no one talked about them for a long time.

It was not rice that first harvested in the field, but those who followed the compound and planted medicinal materials.

For some unexplainable reason, when these villagers collect medicinal materials, they don't want people to come to watch. Even Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu came to check in person. To avoid hearing some messy voices.

With the help of water trucks for irrigation, a lot of rice and medicinal materials in the field have been salvaged. Leaving aside the dead part, the harvest is about half of what was expected, but the quality is far worse than what Luo Jinxiu originally expected.

And because this is the first year for the villagers to plant medicinal materials, they are inexperienced. When harvesting, a small part is lost due to improper handling, and the final weight is about one-third of the normal harvest.

It took two days for the people who planted all the herbs to pick off the medicines. The only ones picked were comfrey and Angelica dahurica, which can be planted and harvested in the same year. , but this year's situation, Luo Jinxiu directly suggested that the villagers who planted comfrey pick up all the medicinal materials and plant a new batch next year.

The picked medicinal materials were sent directly to the workshop. Luo Jinxiu handed over Yun Fan, housekeeper Aunt Ji, etc., collected the medicinal materials on the spot, and settled the accounts for the villagers.

Most of the people in the village gathered around to join in the fun, wanting to see if they would really give the same price as promised before, including those who had said a lot of bad things about the compound because of the sour grapes mentality. Those who said Luo Jinxiu was not also secretly hid in the crowd to watch the situation.

After Luo Jinxiu found out, she just acted as if she hadn't seen anything, but secretly thought it was funny.

She was not a very generous person, and those who troubled them should not even try to grow medicinal materials with her in the future, and seeing it would only increase jealousy, which was useless.

"Jing Hao's daughter-in-law, will you really accept these medicinal materials at the price of drugstores in the market?" A villager rubbed his hands and asked nervously.

Luo Jinxiu looked at the simple-looking uncle, and at the others, without saying anything, but in fact the same worry was written on his face.

Luo Jinxiu cleared her throat, and said in a voice that everyone present could hear: "Everyone knows the situation in the field this year. If there is no drought this year and the medicinal materials are of good quality, I will definitely give them to uncles and aunts at the market price, but The quality of these medicinal materials can only be considered average, so the purchase price may be slightly lower, but they are all from the village, and I will definitely not cheat everyone, so please rest assured."

After finishing speaking, she directly quoted the price she had thought about in advance.

When the villagers heard it, they were really kind. Compared with the price of comfrey and angelica dahurica sold in the pharmacy, the price of three Wen per ten catties was less, but it was not much loss at all.

The reason why Luo Jinxiu didn't even save these three papers is simply to let the villagers know that the quality will affect the purchase price. Otherwise, next year, someone will inevitably think that the quality is better, how can they pay the same price? s price?Will she have to increase the purchase price by then?

After confirming that the villagers had no objections, Luo Jinxiu asked Yun Fan and Yun Kou to organize the villagers to line up and count the total number of medicinal materials one by one, and Steward Ji would distribute money to them next to them.

"The first place is that comfrey is more than 130 four and a half catties, and the total is 130 five catties, and the total of Baizhi is 89 catties and nine coins, which is 780 catties. , the total is three taels and [-] Wen."

As soon as Luo Jinxiu reported the count, many of the villagers took a breath, and then watched with their own eyes that Aunt Ji, who had already taken a bag of money, handed over the broken silver and copper coins that Luo Jinxiu said to the first villager hand.

The uncle was so excited that he almost cried when he got the money.

Three taels of silver!With so many deaths, the total harvest is no more than one-third, but the money gained is more than the crops harvested in previous years. This, this is simply huge profits!

At least in the eyes of the villagers who have never seen the big world, the money they make from growing medicinal materials is really much more than they can imagine!Just imagine, if there is no drought this year, the amount of money will be doubled, which is almost ten taels of silver!
Also consider that it is the first time that they have no experience in growing medicinal materials, and they will definitely be able to improve their production when they become more proficient in the future, and they will not be able to earn more money by then!By the way, the quality is high and the price can be higher.

Being able to earn more than ten taels of silver a year by relying on the crops in the field is something that they never dared to think about before.

The uncle held the money in his hand and kept thanking Luo Jinxiu, "Thank you! Thank you! Next year, can I grow medicinal materials together?"

Luo Jinxiu smiled and said, "Of course, I will earn more next year than this year!"

"Hey!" The uncle was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth together, and the people behind him couldn't wait to urge: "Get out of the way, you got the money, and the people behind us also want to get the money quickly." Got it!"

When the uncle heard this, he quickly stepped aside, his face was still full of smiles, and he was already thinking about tearing up two more pieces of cloth during the Chinese New Year this year, so that the mother-in-law could make one for the elderly, children, and herself. Wear new clothes and buy more meat for Chinese New Year!
With the first person getting off to a good start, the people behind couldn't wait for her turn. Seeing that they were waiting impatiently, Luo Jinxiu asked Yun Fan and Yun Kou to help with the weighing, and finally she would count the money. Very quickly one by one to help the villagers settle the settlement.

"120 catties of comfrey, 170 five catties of Angelica dahurica, a total of four taels and 780 five cents."

"75 catties of comfrey, 160 catties of Angelica dahurica, a total of three taels and 870 wen."

"Zicao... Angelica dahurica... a total of three taels and 650 texts."

"...four taels and 230 wen."

"...five taels and 120 wen."
