Since his father passed away, the family has no money. Including the money Da Ya got from selling medicinal materials a few days ago, the total is only thirty-five taels of silver and five hundred and twenty-three copper coins.
More than two taels of it was saved by the family, and the rest was the money Da Ya got from selling medicinal materials. She knew that the reason why Da Ya was able to sell so much money was because she was lucky enough to dig up a ginseng plant.
This kind of ginseng is hard to come by. It is a great luck to pick one occasionally. How could it happen every day? There will definitely not be such a good thing in the future.
Mrs. Liu's conservative temperament determines that she is a person who seeks stability.
Their family has a total of three pieces of land, two of which have been rented out. The remaining piece of land probably only grows enough food to feed them.
There was no money-making job in the countryside, and even if there were, it would be physical work like repairing canals, which was beyond her ability.
In Mrs. Liu's opinion, thirty-five taels of silver was a huge sum of money. Many people worked hard all their lives and never had more than a cent, but this amount of money was nothing compared to studying.
She still wanted to keep the money to buy Huzi a wife, but she couldn't just lose it.
Li Xi looked at Hu Zi's head lowering lower and lower, and frowned, "You must read the book. The money is convenient for you. Don't worry, I have my own way."
Madam Liu looked at Li Xi, who was becoming more and more powerful, and her face didn't look very good.
"Da Ya, I'm your mother, why are you talking to me?
If I say I can’t read this book, I just can’t read it! After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she stood up, threw her clothes on the ground, turned around and entered the bedroom.
Li Xi didn't expect that she would burst out suddenly, and Hu Zi didn't expect that his little body was shaken.
Before Li Xi said anything, Huzi said with tears on his face, "Sister, I don't want to study anymore, please don't quarrel with mother."
"Sister knows, don't be afraid, tiger, sister is here."
At first, Li Xi didn't understand why Mrs. Liu disagreed with Hu Zi's study. She also knew that studying was expensive, but she also said that she would find a way around the money.
But she quickly came around to the idea that the disagreement was because they had different visions.
Li Xi did not intend to give up the idea of letting Huzi study. Huzi was still so young, so what would he do if he didn't study?
"Sister, I have never seen my mother so angry." Huzi leaned against Li Xi in despair and said.
Li Xi rubbed his head and said, "Don't worry, sister will solve it."
"Um."
Mrs. Liu in the room listened to the sounds coming from the main room, and her tears kept flowing.
Doesn’t she know that reading is good?
Who is she doing this for?
It’s not just for their family!
They say that spending money on studying is a bottomless pit. If you don’t finish reading the book and all the money is spent, what should you do?
Lady Liu was determined to note that no matter what Daya said, she would never pay for Huzi to study. She would save the money to marry Huzi a wife.
Mrs. Liu's vision is limited and she can only see one-third of her own land. In her opinion, marrying a wife is a big deal, even though Huzi is still a big-headed baby just above the knees.
After Li Xi comforted Huzi, she sent him out to play. She watched Huzi leave the house before entering Madam Liu's room.
Madam Liu was lying on the kang with her back to Li Xi, covered with a quilt.
"Mom, I have something to discuss with you."
"If it's about studying, don't talk about it anymore." Madam Liu didn't even look back.
"It's not about reading."
When Li Xi said this, he certainly didn't give up on sending Huzi to school. Madam Liu had just lost her temper. She was not stupid, so she would not rush to find trouble. No matter what, she had to wait until she calmed down before thinking about this matter. thing.
Madam Liu paused, sat up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I plan to start a medicine business..."
"Oh." The medicinal materials in the back mountain are all naturally raised. It is a business without capital. In her opinion, it is just like picking it up for free. Naturally, she has nothing to refuse.
Before Li Xi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Liu's word "oh".
“Mom, the last time I was able to sell it for so much money was because someone was lucky enough to pick ginseng.
The medicinal materials on the mountain are mostly ordinary and cheap medicinal materials. You can't make much money just by collecting them.
So I not only plan to pick herbs myself, but also plan to buy herbs picked by others and sell them together in the city. "Li Xi was afraid that Madam Liu wouldn't understand, so she tried to speak as concisely as possible.
Madam Liu really understood, and then frowned, "Acquisition? Spend money to buy it?"
"Yes, you spend money to buy it, and then sell it at a higher price to earn the price difference." Li Xi explained.
"No, I don't agree." Madam Liu frowned and looked at Li Xi, Da Ya was really getting more and more ambitious now, "Selling it at a higher price, you think she is stupid.
Besides, we are all neighbors. If you do this, how will others view us?
Da Ya, we can't make this kind of unintentional money. If we do, it will hurt people's spines. "
Li Xi was speechless. He didn't know whether she was stupid or not, but it was obvious that Madam Liu was not smart, so the money she earned with her own hands was considered to be unintentional money.
"Buying and selling are always voluntary. If he doesn't want to, he can buy it from the drug store. This is a two-way choice." Li Xi had realized that he could not convince Madam Liu.
Madam Liu also saw Li Xi's persistence. She glanced at the cabinet on the side and advised, "Da Ya, I don't agree with this matter."
"Mom, haven't we already agreed that everything at home will be subject to my orders?" Li Xi looked directly at Madam Liu.
Mrs. Liu avoided her eyes and said, "Da Ya, I have thought about what happened that day. You are still young, so I don't trust you to leave this family to me. Your father is also confused. You are still so young, how can you be a family?"
At first, Mrs. Liu felt a little guilty when she spoke, but gradually she convinced herself that yes, it was like this. Da Ya was still young, and besides, there was no one who was a junior to control the elders.
Li Xi never expected to hear her say that. In the memory of the original owner, Mrs. Liu had always been a weak and unindependent person. Her father had the final say in all matters in the family. Why did she suddenly change so much?
Li Xi also became stronger, "Mom, whether you agree or not, I must do this."
"You! Unfilial!"
Mrs. Liu was indeed a weak and unassertive person before, but that was in front of someone stronger than her. Li Xi is her daughter. In her opinion, she should listen to herself, and she should be the strong one.
In fact, this is why Li Xi watched less social news before. There are many people like Madam Liu in real life.
They lack confidence and courage externally, but they will show a strong personality at home because they feel that they have more rights and control at home. Such people often dare not take risks or try new things.
Dislikes resistance from family members in family life.
