The space is full of supplies, and the little milk bag can't be used up.
Chapter 18: Money Worries
The two of them took the money and returned to the village without delay. The villagers passing by asked them what they had bought in the town. Father Li just said a few perfunctory words and quickened his pace back home.
When he got home, he handed the silver note to Ye in a rage. When Ye saw it, she was also exclaimed. A big turtle was sold for four hundred taels of silver. It was unimaginable.
Li Youran was not surprised at all. If he changed to a big turtle, it would definitely be expensive. Besides, it was raised in the space! It was so big, and the price was a bit too little. He had to find a way to make money!
There is a real difference between ancient times and modern times. It is autumn now, and many crops should be ripe!
Ye carefully put the silver away, then turned to look at Li's father and suggested with a firm look in her eyes: "My husband, do you think we need to rebuild the house? After all, winter is coming soon. If the snow piles up too thick, I'm worried that our daughter will get frostbite."
After hearing this, Father Li nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Ye's opinion, but at the same time he began to worry: "Actually, I have always had this idea, but building a blue brick and tile house will cost a lot of money!" After saying this, he sighed softly.
Seeing this, Ye began to do the math: "We already have 400 taels of silver on hand now, plus the money Bo'er earned from copying books, we have saved about 500 taels, which should be enough, and maybe even some left over." As she spoke, she counted the money carefully on her fingers, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the money should be enough to build a house.
"Bo'er still has to go to school and take the examination for imperial examination, both of which require money!" Li's father remembered that Li Yuanbo had already learned all the knowledge taught by the old scholar, and all that was missing was the imperial examination, but he had no money to send him to school.
The pens, ink, paper and inkstone were too expensive, costing several taels of silver in total. It was not affordable for ordinary people. The annual tuition fee was five taels of silver. Better paper or parchment cost one tael of silver. Ordinary people could only use hemp paper, which was the lowest grade.
Even now, the paper Li Yuanbo uses is the worst quality, and he uses hemp paper to copy books for others, so it is sold cheaper.
Ye got a headache when she thought about this. Her eldest son had been delayed for three years. This year he would take the examination for a scholar in the county. If he passed, he could receive a salary every year to supplement the family income.
Li Youran listened to the conversation between the two and also thought that places where more silver was needed would require a lot of silver.
"Daddy, dearest ones, don't worry, I'm here!" Li Youran looked up at the two adults, who had worried looks on their faces. He patted his chest with a look of assurance.
Father Li looked down, his face full of doting on his child, "You Ran is so capable!" he couldn't help but praise him.
Ye squatted down slightly, picked up Li Youran, and pecked her on the face.
Li Youran also cooperated and kissed Ye back, making Ye's face covered with saliva.
At this moment, Li Yuanbo walked in from outside. He heard the conversation inside the house. His parents were worried about money and also about his imperial examination.
The young face had a calm expression, "Don't worry, Dad and Mom, I will copy a few more books! I have already finished learning the Four Books and Five Classics, all thanks to my sister!"
As he said this, he glanced at his sister in Ye's arms.
Li Youran looked at the young man and sighed in his heart: He is a talented person with great potential!
A smug look appeared on Li Youran's face.
"You've finished learning? When did it happen?" Ye couldn't believe it and asked to confirm.
"In the past two years, my sister would put books under my bed. I didn't believe it at first, but after searching for a while, I really found the books." Li Yuanbo began to recall the scene at that time and was also shocked.
Father Li looked at Li Youran solemnly. He knew that his daughter was special, but he didn't know she was so extraordinary!
"It's no big deal!" Li Youran showed his signature smile, and his two small eyes narrowed into crescents.
Everyone was very happy looking at her little expression.
Father Li suddenly remembered something. "Today, Ze'er and I went to sell a turtle. I didn't dare to say anything. It was Ze'er who said the price!"
"Naze'er is so brave!" Ye couldn't help but sweat when she heard it.
"Where are those two naughty boys?" Only then did Ye notice that there were only Li's father, Li Yuanbo, herself, and Li Youran in the room.
"I don't know where they went!" Li Yuanbo replied. He just saw the two of them acting suspiciously and didn't know where they went.
