The real daughter is really not a human being

Hearing this, Yaoguang nodded. So that's it.

My aunt also said that she won't have to worry about food and drink after living here, but she still has to pay.

"We have to pay two hundred taels of silver a month now. If we pay for another eleven years, we will be out of money and we will all have to move out of here." After reading the account book, Yaoguang estimated the time in his mind.

Based on the income from fixed assets in the account books plus some real estate, the amount submitted continues to grow.

With her and her great aunt moving in, they will definitely have to pay more, so they may run out of money before the eleventh year.

Sun's heart immediately skipped a beat!

Two hundred taels a month! Does it cost two hundred taels a month to live here? Then wouldn't she have spent more than ten taels on food and drinks yesterday?

My goodness, my family had to sell the land to raise so much money, how come it was gone after just a sleep?

Wei Qichen frowned, "Wasn't it originally only 50 taels of silver per month? How come it has become 200 taels?"

It was Yu who brought up the matter of paying money with Wei Qichen. At that time, Wei Shiyuan was young and needed a bunch of servants to take care of her. Although they were family members, brothers had to settle accounts clearly. They couldn't support Wei Shiyuan for nothing.

After hearing the amount, Wei Qichen agreed immediately. It is true that raising a child costs money, but he did not expect that the price would increase several times after a few years.

"Uncle, this is the money handed over to the mansion, as well as the money for daily expenses and rewards to servants." Wei Shiyuan said, her eyes falling on the account book.

Normally, the mansion should give the master a monthly stipend, including the first and third wives, because they both have masters who are officials away from home and accumulate family property for the children in the mansion.

Since no one from the second house made any contribution, the monthly salary was cancelled.

Furthermore, there are the women in the rear house, who more or less have their own property and a monthly salary from their husbands, with which they can subsidize their children and reward their servants.

Wei Shiyuan didn't make much money from the shops she got from Wei Qichen, but fortunately it wasn't too little, plus some gold and silver left by her parents. This allowed Wei Shiyuan to afford the monthly two hundred taels of silver, and her life wasn't too shabby.

Food and drink are all from the kitchen in the mansion, so you don't have to spend money on weekdays. If you want to eat something on your birthday or New Year, you have to pay extra money. Not to mention the fabrics you wear and the jewelry you wear.

Although the main room got some, the fabrics were not very good. As a young lady of the Wei family, Wei Shiyuan occasionally had to go out to attend banquets, so she couldn't dress casually, so she had to prepare two sets of clothes.

If it was a birthday for a relative in the mansion, she would have to prepare some gifts. In addition, she would have to pay for some daily miscellaneous expenses, such as buying some pens, inkstones, and books. Wei Shiyuan didn't spend much, but her life was still worse than that of other girls.

Wei Shiyuan secretly calculated in her mind that if the price continued to rise, it would definitely not be enough to spend. The little girl had no business acumen and could not do a big business. She could only hope to leave home early, perhaps get married, and then she would not have the two thousand taels of silver to spend every year.

"This is too much!" Wei Qichen looked unhappy.

What does two hundred taels of silver mean? He is now a teacher in the academy. With his reputation as a former official, he can earn more than ten taels of silver a month. With the year-end dividend, he can make more than two hundred taels!

He was often away from home, and apart from occasionally having dinner with a few colleagues, he didn't spend much money at other times. With the inheritance left to him by his parents and brother, it can be said that he had a surplus every year!

However, the money he earned in a year was not enough to cover the mansion’s expenses for two months!

Her uncle, who was an official in the court, only earned eighty taels of silver and forty dan of rice as salary. Shiyuan, a little girl, had to spend so much money in the mansion!

Wei Shiyuan had never mentioned this to him!

"Why don't we move out?" Yaoguang suggested.

Having stayed in the capital for some time, Yaoguang had a general understanding of the prices in the capital and knew that the rent of this courtyard was extremely expensive.

Her shop only cost ninety taels, which was much more expensive than the house. Buying a house that could accommodate several people would cost less than two hundred taels. Buying a bigger one might be more expensive, but at least it was cheaper than the rent for the year, and the next best thing was renting a house!

"No!" Wei Qichen refused immediately, "I will tell my uncle about this matter, you two don't have to worry about it."

The Wei family hasn't split up yet, so how can it make sense to pay so much money to live at home? And he has to explain to his uncle about Yaoguang's inclusion in the family tree!

Wei Qi Chen said a few words to the two little girls and hurried out of the hall.

Wei Shiyuan watched him leave, then walked up to Yaoguang and said with a smile, "I'll have someone send these things to your room. Would you like to go to my yard and take a look?"

Yaoguang shook her head. "You keep it! I don't need it. I have something to do and want to go out."

Wei Shiyuan was not very happy to hear that Yaoguang did not want these property deeds and account books. She just nodded and asked with concern: "Where are you going, sister? I will ask the mansion to prepare a carriage for you?"

"No, I can walk on my own."

Seeing that Yaoguang was leaving, Sun naturally would not stay here alone. She wanted to go out with Yaoguang. She even didn't dare to live in the Wei family's mansion, for fear that she would spend a lot of money if she stayed one more day.

"Sister, do you need money when you go out? I'll prepare some for you." Wei Shiyuan asked considerately.

She had prepared the silver yesterday, some small change and gold melon seeds. She would need them to reward her servants and send them to buy things when she lived in the mansion.

However, Yaoguang still refused.

Wei Shiyuan said she would send them to the door, and Yaoguang finally agreed.

But as soon as the two of them walked out of the west courtyard door, they saw the young ladies of the Wei family dressed in silk and satin walking towards them, followed by a group of maids holding many things in their hands.

I saw Yaoguang and Wei Shiyuan and said hello.

"Where are you going, sister?" Wei Yusu asked.

Wei Yushu is the fourth child and the second daughter of the eldest wife.

"Leave the house." Yaoguang responded simply.

"Why are you leaving the house as soon as you come back? I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring some gifts for my sister. I asked the maids to send them over today." Wei Yuchen said. She is the eldest daughter of the main house.

After she finished speaking, a maid came forward, put down the box in her hand, opened the lid and showed it to the few people.

Wei Shiyuan glanced at him, her expression tense.

Here to ridicule me again!

"We thought that since my sister has just arrived at the mansion and has nothing to wear, we asked the maids and old women to pick out our old clothes. These are only worn once or twice, so please don't dislike them. Why don't you try them on now to see if there are any that fit?" Wei Yuchen looked at Yaoguang with a smile, with a threatening look in his eyes.

However, Yaoguang just took a look and rejected them all: "No, they don't fit me, you should keep them for yourself."

These fabrics are thin, bright, and easy to wrinkle, tear, and age. They are not strong enough. They are not suitable for stealth at all, let alone long-term use.
