The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business
Chapter 63: Small Dividends
Mrs. Su did not agree with what they said, but said that if they went out to find work, we had no right to interfere. We should just do our own work well and improve our skills. When the others heard this, they stopped talking.
During the short intermittent period of the day, the Su family had not stopped coming and going.
Su Anton and his companions returned from the county before dinner.
This trip to the county went smoothly. In fact, it was not the owner of the school who wanted to build a kang, but the owner's sister. The family was well-off and did not use adobe bricks, but had prepared bricks and the necessary materials. Su An Dong and his friends could build a kang directly when they arrived.
There were only two kangs in total and all the materials were available, so the brothers completed the job easily.
After finishing his work, Su An Dong went to the county bookstore and bought a set of better writing brushes, inkstones, paper and inkstones for each of his children who were studying. He also bought a lot of paper for the girls at home to practice calligraphy, and also bought some paints.
It must be said that the Su family is also a family that has passed down poetry and books. Apart from other things, Su An Dong borrowed all the books left behind. If you want to buy these imperial examination books, you need a lot of money. But because of the Su family's background, they have basically all the books used in the imperial examination. Even if there are not enough books, you can copy them yourself, which saves a lot of money.
The Su family has formed a tacit understanding that no matter what the car is pulling back, they will not make a noise at the door, but will quietly move it back home and close the door first.
In addition to the things Su An Dong bought at the bookstore, the brothers also bought a lot of things for home, including food and daily necessities. They all thought that the weather would gradually get colder, and it would be a pain to go out.
The family gathered together and had a lively meal.
After dinner, the two sisters cleaned up the kitchen while Mrs. Su organized a family meeting. This time everyone attended, including the children.
Old Madam Su sat at the top and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just wanted to give you some money, you can buy whatever you want."
When everyone heard this, they were somewhat happy. Knowing that the family conditions were better now, no one refused. They sat there happily waiting for Old Lady Su to share the money.
Seeing that they were happy, Mrs. Su was even happier and said, "Give each room ten taels of silver." After saying that, she gave all the silver directly to her daughter-in-law.
He gave Su Anyuan another five taels of silver and said, "Since you haven't got married yet, I'm giving you five taels. Keep it for yourself."
Su Anyuan refused, "Mom, you've already said that I haven't started a family yet, why do I need so much money! Just give me the same amount as Dalang and the others, I don't need so much."
Old Madam Su disapproved, "You are the elder, so much older, how can you be the same as them?"
In the heart of Old Mrs. Su, she felt sorry for her youngest son who had served in the military, and always wanted to treat him better.
Su Anyuan felt helpless, knowing that he couldn't refuse, so he said, "Then please keep it for me, Mom! I'll ask you for it if I need it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll lose it if you put it in my hands."
Mrs. Su thought for a moment and said, "You should keep one or two taels for your spending. You can't be penniless. I'll give you the rest. If you need it, just ask me."
Old Mrs. Su thought that she would just keep it for the fourth son first, and then give it to his wife when he got married.
Old Lady Su gave each of her two daughters two taels of silver and said the same thing: "Buy whatever you want. If you don't need it, save it. It's yours anyway."
Su Yitong took the money happily and thanked her mother.
However, Su Yijiajia was reluctant to accept the money. How could she, a divorced daughter, accept money from her family again?
Mrs. Su saw what she meant and said, "You have contributed to this family and helped with a lot of work, so why are you embarrassed to accept the money? Besides, even if you don't do anything, what's wrong with me, as a mother, giving my daughter some money?" Then she said seriously, "Yijia, you have to remember that you are just like everyone else in the family. I don't want to emphasize this matter anymore."
Su Yijia understood what her mother meant and took the money. She also warned herself in her heart that she should not do this again. Her family was kind to her, so she would remember it carefully. She would live a good life in the future, treat her family well, and repay their kindness.
Old Madam Su looked at her grandchildren eagerly and wanted to tease them. She said, "You don't need to share the money! If you need it, just ask your parents."
Old Mrs. Su's behavior amused other grandchildren, but not Su Zhihao and Su Yuanyuan, who knew that their grandmother was teasing them on purpose. Moreover, the two siblings were not short of money, and Su Anyuan and his wife never treated their children badly.
Silang Su Zhixuan, the youngest boy, was unhappy and couldn't help but grumble, "I'm still waiting! Grandma, please give us some!"
Su Miaomiao couldn't help but agree, "Yes! Give some at least. Grandma, you don't know how hard it is to ask my parents for money!"
Old Mrs. Su was amused by Su Miaomiao's words: "Really? How difficult is that?"
Li Hongmei couldn't help but glared at Su Miaomiao, but this glare didn't stop Su Miaomiao from continuing, "Even if you want ten cents, she will only give you two cents."
Su Yuanyuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She actually knew about this.
Old Madam Su had given money to these children before, and she had given a lot of money when she went to the capital city before. But afterwards, except for her and her brother Su Zhihao, the rest of the money was taken away by their parents. They used the same old words to deal with the children, saying: Mom will save it for you first.
After that, Su Miaomiao asked her mother for money, which was really a lot of effort.
Just recently, Su Miaomiao asked her mother for money to buy facial oil. Li Hongmei said, "Your face is very good, why do you need to use oil?"
Although Su Miaomiao finally bought the facial oil after her unremitting efforts, the process was very difficult. And the facial oil she bought was also of inferior quality.
Li Hongmei is used to being frugal, and her concept of spending money has not kept up with the Su family's progress.
Li Hongmei couldn't help but glared at her little daughter and said, "When did I not give you money when you asked for it?"
Su Miaomiao spread her hands and said, "Yes, I gave it to you, but you should also see how much effort I put in!"
Old Mrs. Su laughed out loud because of her funny behavior, and everyone in the room couldn't help laughing when they saw Su Miaomiao doing funny things.
Old Madam Su called Su Miaomiao over, took her hand, gently patted her little hand and said, "I'm going to give you the money this time, but you must keep a close eye on your wallet and don't let your mother take it and save it for you."
Su Miaomiao nodded in agreement and said, "Grandma, I want to keep it myself this time."
Li Hongmei felt helpless looking at her opinionated little daughter.
Old Mrs. Su gave each of her grandchildren one tael of silver. She believed that children should develop the ability to manage money from an early age and learn to save money on their own. They can use the money they save to buy what they want.
