As for the Su family, Su Yu did not hide her agreement with Yu Zheng from her family at all. She could not mislead her family about their attitude towards Yu Zheng. She really thought that she would marry Yu Zheng in the future. As time went by, Treat Yu as one of your own. She laid out the agreement between the two, so that her family would know how they would treat Yu Zheng.
After listening to Su Yu's words, the three people didn't have much resistance to Yu Zheng at first, but now they are a little disgusted. Yu Zheng is too irresponsible.
This agreement made Yu Zheng's future pursuit of his wife much more difficult. He regretted this many times, but it was too late.
Except for the food, everything else that Yu Zheng sent as a betrothal gift was put into an empty room next to Su Yu's house, and she would not return it until two years later when the engagement was broken off. She didn't want to take advantage of Yu Zheng.
From then on, the Su family did whatever they wanted, and the two got engaged. People in the village no longer talked about Su Yu's previous rescue, but instead talked about how Su Yu was not worthy of Yu Zheng.
Su Yu was also convinced. She didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Yu Zheng had poured into the villagers. She was really as miserable as the villagers said. Saying that the two of them are like a flower stuck in cow dung, and she is the piece of cow dung, is it annoying or not?
The villagers talked about it for a few days and then stopped paying attention because the Su family started collecting ducks. You can't take advantage of someone else's family and speak ill of someone else's daughter behind their back. People in the village still have to face it.
Today is the day that we agreed to collect the ducks. A dozen carriages were sent from Taihe Tower. The carriages arrived early in the morning. The weather has just warmed up now, so it's just right to be neither cold nor hot on the road.
At this time, the yard of the Su family was filled with the first batch of people who borrowed duck seedlings from the Su family and raised them. On the current table, Su Sheng was checking a notebook with a piece of paper. Su Yu was the most suitable for something like this, but he was not in the mood for the past two days and wanted to exercise his elder brother, so this matter fell on Su Sheng.
"Huang Yi, I took a hundred ducks at that time, and now there are ninety ducks left. The ninety ducks weigh a total of three hundred and eighty kilograms. Calculated at eight cents per catty, the total is three hundred and forty cents, excluding the eight hundred cents. In exchange for duckling money, my family will give you a total of two hundred and forty cents, can you do the math?"
Su Sheng had been studying for half a year and was already familiar with simple arithmetic problems. He could get the final amount of money with just a little calculation.
"Yes, that's right."
Su Laoer took two taels, two hundred and forty coins from the box containing coins and handed them to Huang Yi.
"Girl Huang, it's better to make it clear in person. My family will not be responsible after leaving the yard."
"I can trust Uncle Su's character, so I won't order it."
Huang Yi put the money in her arms and was extremely excited. In four months, she had earned more than two taels of silver. With this money, her family would not have to live a miserable life in the future. Haha. She took 300 of the second batch, and now there are more than 270. In March, she will earn much more than now. By then, her family can send her younger brother to study in the family.
When Su Sheng read about it, the villagers standing in the yard were all listening. Everyone's body was feeling hot. They only regretted that they didn't raise more. The family that took fifty of them regretted that their intestines were almost green. If I had taken more at that time, even a hundred, I would have earned more than one tael of silver now. Looking around, I am afraid that his family made the least.
Huang Yi got the money and stood in the corner without leaving. She wanted to take another look.
The next family is Yu Laizi's house. They took 500 ducklings at that time, and now there are 470 ducklings. The total of 470 ducks is 1,980 kilograms. Eight coins per kilogram is fifteen Two, eight hundred and forty coins, excluding the four taels of duck money, there are still eleven taels, eight hundred and forty coins left.
"Uncle Yu, do you think what Brother Sheng said is right?"
Cripple Yu's voice trembled.
"Second brother, what Brother Sheng said is right."
The family had done calculations at home before, and they all got this number. The family didn't believe it and they calculated it several times again, and each time they got the same number. In four months, their family actually made more than eleven taels. In the previous three to five years, their family could not earn so much money.
I don’t know how many people Taihelou sent here today. As soon as the carriage arrived at Yujia Village, a carriage followed the three of them to the duck raising house. After weighing and loading the carriage, they wrote the number of birds and the total weight on paper, and followed The villagers went to the Su family to settle accounts. Four hundred ducks were loaded into each carriage. After counting the ducks belonging to Huang Yi's and Yu Cripple's families, some waiters left the Su family's yard and went to notify the first carriage, which contained Huang Yi's and Yu Cripple's families. There were four hundred ducks in total, including the lame family and some ducks in a carriage behind them.
Then the first carriage set off towards Fucheng. The ducks in the dozen or so carriages were all divided into branches around Fucheng. They went in different directions and there was no need to wait for other carriages. They would wait for the Su family to settle the matter. You can go and wait until the Su family can figure out the delay.
The box of money placed next to Su Laoer was brought over by shopkeeper Niu early in the morning. There are some parts and some neat, just to make it convenient for the people in the village.
After counting for half an hour, there were only five or six families left behind. The next one was Mrs. Liu's family.
Su Sheng quickly figured out that the number of ducks in Mrs. Liu's house was wrong. Her family took away 200 ducklings at that time, but now there are only 100. Mrs. Liu said that a hundred ducklings were dead. Everyone present said this. Do not believe.
Su Yu was watching from the side, but he didn't like her when he saw this. His eldest brother was no match for Mrs. Liu.
"I remember that your family took away 200 of them. Within five or six days, more than 20 died. There were still more than 170 left. In four months, more than 70 died. But why wasn't I there? The village heard you mention it. You must know that more than 20 ducklings died at that time, and you scolded your eldest daughter-in-law to death. It spread throughout the village at that time."
"Then you can blame me. The ducklings I got from your family were too weak. Otherwise, half of my ducklings would have died. Why do you think your family was worried about giving me some bad ducklings! Now it's really strange. I'm here and I'm telling you, I'll give you the money for the two hundred ducklings."
Su Yu called out the guy who went to Mrs. Liu's house.
"Are you sure she only has a hundred at home?"
"Back to Miss Su, when I went there, she really only had a hundred of them, and the rest were half-grown ones."
Mrs. Liu felt proud for a moment, thinking to herself, Damn girl, what can you do to me?
"If that's the case, I'll go check out later to see how many ducklings your family has left in the second batch. If you raise them this way, you're definitely going to lose money. If I take this second batch back and raise it, I'll suffer a little loss." , I’ll give you three pounds per duck, and I’ll give you three pounds per duck. It’s just that your family’s technology is not good, so you won’t have to raise my ducklings in the future.”
"Why can't you raise them! My family raises them well."
When Mrs. Liu heard that she could no longer raise duck seedlings on credit from the Su family, she immediately stopped working.
"Then let's ask the village chief to comment. Two hundred ducklings were given to you, but only a hundred came out in the end. If you don't feel sorry for Taihelou, you still feel sorry for me. Where do you think those ducklings came from? Taihe Building gave me the Su family's money, and my Su family gave it to you on credit. How much risk did my family take in this process? Even if you can't support your family well, don't delay other people's business. Grandpa, village chief, do you think I'm right? ?”
