Reason: [Your credit status is good, you can apply for 3 installments, 6 installments, and 12 installments. 】
Ming Xi had a headache. With so much money, even if it was divided into 100 installments, each installment would still cost hundreds of thousands of star coins.
"The one that takes the longest, the twelve-phase one..." Ming Xi asked with difficulty, "Calculate, how much do you need to pay back?"
Reason: [To be paid in 12 installments, the first installment requires payment of 4,733,334 star coins. The current balance is 4,162,550 star coins, leaving a shortfall of 570,784 star coins. 】
Ming Xi closed her eyes in pain. It was divided into twelve periods, but it was still short of 570,000 star coins.
I have no choice but to go to the mountains again to see if I can find rare plants.
Well, let’s set off tonight!
Mingxi sighed deeply, readjusted his emotions, and left the house to go to his brother and sister-in-law's house for dinner.
Today's meal was also very rich. In addition to porridge and pickles, Tian Zhenzhen cooked a plate of loofah, a pot of sauce-roasted tofu, and a plate of yellow and fragrant scrambled eggs.
All the children enjoyed their meal, but Mingxi was absent-minded and had no appetite for the meal.
Tian Zhenzhen couldn't help but start to question her cooking skills. After eating for a while, she whispered: "You still want to eat meat, right?"
Mingxi looked over confusedly: "...Huh?"
Ming Dazhuang and Ming Erzhuang immediately raised their faces from their rice bowls, their eyes shining like wolves, and asked excitedly: "Where is the meat?"
Tian Zhenzhen picked up her chopsticks and tapped them both on their bowls!
"What are our family's conditions and we still want to eat meat every meal?! Are you crazy!" she said angrily.
Mingsong couldn't help but said: "It's not wrong for children to want to eat meat. I'll go to the county market tomorrow and cut half a catty off to eat."
Tian Zhenzhen's face was full of disapproval, "It's not about eating meat during the holidays. If you have money, it's better to buy a few more kilograms of grain. The family's food for the second half of the year is not yet available."
Ming Song was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He looked at his sister and changed the subject: "By the way, um... what is the gift that the magistrate gave you today?"
Ming Xi was stunned and replied: "I don't know, I haven't looked at it yet. I put it with my sister-in-law."
Mentioning this, Tian Zhenzhen suddenly beamed, "It must be a good thing. Just wait, I'll get it."
She put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurried into the house. After a while, she took out a wide and flat wooden box. There was a red seal on the opening. It had obviously not been opened.
The whole family gathered around. Tian Zhenzhen stuffed the wooden box into Mingxi's arms and urged her expectantly: "Open it quickly and see what kind of treasure it is."
Mingsong said: "The gift from the magistrate must be a good thing."
Mingxi removed the sealing paper and opened the wooden box. What came into view was a piece of yellow paper with the official seal of the Yamen. On it was written Mingxi's name, age, gender, identity, detailed address, and the basic information of his three daughters. information!
"It's my female household registration that has been registered! The county magistrate is so polite that you actually delivered it to me in person!" Mingxi happily held it in her hands and looked at it carefully line by line, "Ming Su Ye, Ming Man Jing, Ming Yuexue ...My daughter’s surname has also been changed to Mingming! Haha, her surname is no longer Lin!”
Tian Zhenzhen said with a smile: "So that's the name. I'm used to being called Ye'er Ye'er. I didn't know that the names of the three of them are so nice. They are much more elegant than the two of my family, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang."
"After all, it was a name given by scholars. Lin Wenxiao is now a scholar." Mingsong said.
In fact, he felt quite unhappy. If the divorce had not happened, his sister would have been a talented lady. Unfortunately...who knew that Lin Wenxiao was so unkind and unjust that the relationship between husband and wife could be ended after ten years. Broken, three of his own flesh and blood are thrown away at will. Such a person can even pass the exam to be a scholar or a civil servant, or even to become an official after winning the top prize! He will definitely not be a good official!
Mingsong felt angry and complained for his sister.
At this time, the wife and sons exclaimed: "Wow!!!——"
Mingsong heard the sound and looked around, his mouth suddenly opened wide: "Wow..."
It turned out that underneath the yellow household registration paper was a piece of red satin. When it was uncovered, there were two rows of silver ingots underneath!
silver!
Brand new silver!
Although Mingxi had pawned a lot of money before, most of it was converted into silver notes. Suddenly he saw two rows of beautiful silver ingots placed in front of him, and he couldn't help but look at them again and again.
It's quite nice.
"How much money does this cost?" Tian Zhenzhen was speechless.
Ming Xi picked up a silver ingot and turned it to the bottom, "It's five taels. There are fifty taels in this box."
Tian Zhenzhen looked at her husband in confusion: "Fifty taels, that should be a lot, right?"
For her who grew up in the village, this was an unimaginable amount of money, but the other party was the county magistrate after all, so Tian Zhenzhen couldn't judge the thickness of this thank you gift.
Ming Xi said: "For an upright official, Master Shen has given quite a lot."
Mingsong nodded, "Master Shen is a good official."
Ming Xi had seen enough and put the household registration in his arms and returned the wooden box to Tian Zhenzhen, "Sister-in-law, take the money."
"Ah? Are you still leaving it here with me?" Tian Zhenzhen couldn't help complaining, "When will you take it back? I have so much money in the house, and I'm worried. What if I lose it..."
Mingxi waved his hand, picked up the bowl and drank porridge, "I won't take it back, you can spend it."
Tian Zhenzhen didn't react for a moment, "Ah...ah, ah?!"
"How can that be done?!" Mingsong was excited, "I am the brother, how can I take my sister's money! It is already not easy for you to live with three children. If I take your money again, then I will Is he still a human being?!"
Mingxi was stunned, "Why...it doesn't count..."
Tian Zhenzhen also hurriedly retreated, not daring to take the wooden box in Mingxi's hand, "How come you always scare people to death every day? You don't want it even if you don't want it. You are really good at it!"
Ming Xi's expression was gloomy. She held the wooden box containing the silver and looked at Ming Song, "I don't think it's difficult to raise three children. Isn't it good that I come here every day to eat and drink for free? Brother, if you don’t accept my money, don’t you want me to bring my children here for food? But I have to focus on clearing wasteland, building roads and digging canals every day, do I still have to cook? Then I will be too miserable..."
Mingsong blushed, "I, I, I, of course I didn't mean that!"
Ming Xi ignored him and looked at Tian Zhenzhen, "Sister-in-law, can't you just use fifty taels as food expenses for me and my three children? I'm only twenty-seven years old this year. I have no problem living for another thirty years. Thirty years It's more than 10,000 days. If I take my children and eat two meals a day, the four of us can eat 80,000 meals a day. And when Ye'er and the others grow up, their appetites will also increase. I can eat more than 80,000 meals a day. Is fifty taels a lot to pay? Why don’t you accept it?”
"Ah...is that so?" Tian Zhenzhen couldn't do the math. She had never learned arithmetic!
Mingsong also felt that it couldn't be calculated like this, but for a moment he couldn't refute it!
"Alas!" Ming Xi sighed, "Just take it. If you really don't want it, just think of it as a loan I'll lend to you. Da Zhuang has reached the age of marriage proposal. You can build him a new house. Anyway, I don't have it now. Lack of money..."
Ming Xi said, feeling increasingly sad.
She is indeed not short of money, but she is short of many, many star coins...
