Jiang Ning directly rented a bullock cart to take the children home. As soon as they got home, the three boys climbed on the table.
She poured all the money in her purse onto the table. The jingling sound made the three children energetic and quickly got up.
"Wow, how much does it cost for so many copper coins?" Lu Yuan said in surprise.
"Shhh."
Lu Ping signaled to his sister to keep her voice down, then went to close the courtyard door again and used a piece of wood to block it.
When Jiang Ning waited for Lu Ping to come back, she took her three boys and counted the copper coins one by one, ten into a pile. The counted coins were handed to Jiang Ning, and she added them up.
She thought that today's harvest would be good, but she didn't expect that there would be more than 3,700 wen, which is more than three taels.
The three cubs were also shocked.
"Mom, you...you counted correctly, right?" Lu Ping was so surprised that he stuttered.
"The counting is correct. If you think about it, everyone who came today bought five loaves. One hundred loaves is equivalent to 800 mun, and some have more than 3,000 mun."
Lu Yuan covered his mouth and widened his eyes to prevent himself from screaming. Lu Sheng circled around the table. After counting the money, the three boys felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. This was their achievement.
"Mom, let's go back to the store. There will definitely be people coming to buy at night!" Lu Ping said excitedly.
The three boys were all motivated by today's profits, but Jiang Ning was really exhausted.
"You're not tired, I'm tired too, let's take our time, we can't eat a big fat thing in one bite."
Lu Ping became excited under Jiang Ning's persuasion, and then he noticed the fatigue on Jiang Ning's face.
"I'm sorry, mother, I was just ignorant."
Jiang Ning shook her head, and then calculated the money to give to Lu Ping and the others.
Lu Ping pushed the money back, and Jiang Ning looked at them doubtfully.
"Mom, I have discussed it with my sister and brother. The pocket money you give us is quite a lot. You can save the remaining money for us in the future. It will be used as money for our studies in the future."
"You really think about it, don't want to go back in two days."
Lu Yuan leaned against Jiang Ning's arm and acted coquettishly.
"No, no, no, the three of us are people who keep our promises."
Jiang Ning and her three sons had a rare moment of fun, but it was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Ms. Jiang, Lu Ping, open the door."
"Oops, it's grandpa, what should I do?" Lu Ping heard the voice.
"Lu Ping, open the door and I'll put the money in."
Jiang Ning turned around and entered the bedroom, put the money into the game warehouse, and calmly came out to greet the guests.
Lu Changgeng brought the Wang family and Li family to the door together with the village chief and several clan elders in the village.
Seeing Jiang Ning come out, he pushed Lu Ping aside and rushed through the door. Lu Ping quickly ran in and stood in front of Jiang Ning.
"Ms. Jiang, I was not at home a few days ago, and these two people did stupid things. We were here in the morning, but you were not at home. I found someone waiting at the entrance of the village. When I saw you coming back, I brought someone over quickly. Looking for you."
Lu Changgeng knocked on his pipe and signaled to Wang and Li with his pipe.
"You two come over here and apologize to Mr. Jiang, you idiots."
The instigator of that day was Lu Yaozong, but he was a child or the eldest son in the family, and Father Lu was reluctant to let him embarrass him.
"Ms. Jiang, I... I was blinded by lard that day. I... I'm sorry for you." Mrs. Li stuttered, her face turning red to her neck.
Mrs. Wang was holding her neck and couldn't say anything. She was the mother-in-law and she wanted to apologize to her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Li should have done it herself!
Lu Changgeng got angry when he saw his mother-in-law Wang, but he couldn't beat her in public, so he glanced at the village chief Lu Zhenxing.
"Ms. Jiang, my father-in-law can suppress my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to apologize to you. You see, the Lu family is still sensible. The things that were not listed in the genealogy before were just misunderstandings. It is best for the family not to worry too much."
They have all said it, what else can Jiang Ning say? The elders have condescended to apologize to you, and they have dragged the village chief and the village elders. If she still holds on to you, tomorrow she will become the after-dinner of Lujia Village. What a bad wife.
"What the village chief said is that I didn't want to make a big fuss. If my mother-in-law and sister-in-law hadn't said that to me at that time, my eldest brother would have taken out the divorce letter and wanted to remove me from the family tree. I took this step to protect myself."
Lu Changgeng least expected Lu Yaozong to be involved in this matter. Hearing Jiang Ning mention his eldest son, he quickly made amends.
"Oh, your eldest brother is still young. He is so focused on studying that he has never experienced this family affair. He was instigated by these two stupid women."
After Lu Changgeng finished scolding the two of them, he started the main topic of why he came here today.
"Ms. Jiang, as a father-in-law, I can't help you. Lu Si served the country, and it was my negligence that left you orphaned and widowed. Today you will move to the ancestral home, and the Lu family will take care of you."
