Mo Rao was thinking about something when she heard some chattering outside. Mo Rao got up curiously and went out to take a look.

When I went out, I saw that it was my father and brother who had returned, and everyone who had gone to the town with me had also returned.

Father Mo gave each person a two-pound piece of pork with fat and lean meat.

There were five people in total, and each person gave away two kilograms of pork, which added up to 10 kilograms of pork. Mo's mother's eyes twitched when she saw it.

Seeing that the cart was empty, Mo's mother thought that the prey must have been sold.

Now she doesn't know the specific situation, so even though she feels bad, she can only bear it.

When they saw that Father Mo gave them the meat, they took it without hesitation. They knew clearly how much silver Father Mo had sold those wild animals for.

Although the pork that Mo's father gave them was homemade pork bought from a pork stall, no one expressed dissatisfaction.

The price difference between domestic pork and wild boar meat is more than double. Anyone with a normal brain would definitely eat domestic pork.

Those who seek novelty are the wealthy families. For farmers like them, it is lucky to be able to eat meat.

If they were asked to choose between one pound of wild boar meat or two pounds of domestic pork, I believe everyone would choose two pounds of domestic pork without hesitation.

After taking the pork, they thanked the Mo family and left.

As soon as everyone left, Mo's mother grabbed Mo Qiang's ear and asked, "You spendthrift man, two pounds of pork per person, why don't you give yourself to them?"

Father Mo cried out in pain. "Hey! Hey! Let go, you bitch, let go. Listen to me first."

Okay, tell me what happened.

Let’s go inside first and talk about it. It’s not appropriate for Mo’s mother to ask how much silver the house was sold for since we are in the yard.

Soon the whole family was sitting around the table. If Mrs. Mo hadn't been curious about how much her son sold it for, she would have gone home by now.

When she has nothing to do during the day, she spends most of her time with her son.

She went back when it was time for lunch and dinner.

She didn't want to burden her son. One more person to feed meant one less ration, and besides, the old man's food would be wasted if he didn't eat it. It was the food her son grew, so why should it be cheaper for the whole family?

So Old Mrs. Mo never eats with her eldest son.

Under the gaze of the family, Mo's father and his son Mo Qingshan took out a purse, and then, to the curiosity of the family, poured the silver in the purse onto the table.

The whole family stretched their necks to look.

Mo Rao also stretched her neck to look. She was also very curious. How much did it sell for?

After all, the giant python looks old and should not be cheap.

When ingots of silver poured onto the table, everyone was so excited that they were speechless.

Mo Erniang and Mo Sanniang carefully touched the silver. It turned out that silver looked like this. They had never seen it before.

Mo Baoshan, who had no idea what silver was, just followed his two sisters and touched the silver. Then he said childishly: "This is really beautiful."

Mo's mother also touched the silver excitedly. I have never seen so much silver in my life.

Old Mrs. Mo looked at the silver on the table, her hands shaking with excitement. "Eldest wife, not only have you never seen so much silver, but I, your mother, have never seen so much silver in my entire life."

Father Mo and Mo Qingshan were also very excited all the way. After they calmed down, they were excited again when they saw the silver again.

Father Mo cleared his throat and said, "The wild boar, the sika deer inside the python, and the python all sold for fifty-two taels. We sold them to the Wang family in town. It was their grandfather's birthday, and wealthy families value display. The purchase manager happened to see their cartload of rare game and bought it all."

"The wild boar was sold for six taels, and the sika deer was cut out from a snake's stomach. They didn't hide the fact, so when people heard the sika deer was cut out from a python's stomach, they only offered six taels."

If they hadn't said this person could pay ten taels.

But they are all honest farmers and would not do anything to deceive their customers.

The giant python and his men directly offered a high price of 40 taels.

The snake gallbladder was sold to the Nancheng Pharmacy in the prefectural capital. When the owner of the pharmacy saw the snake gallbladder, he immediately offered a high price of 80 taels.

Eighty taels, I was so excited. The shopkeeper wanted to give me a silver note, but I refused it directly. No one in our group knew how to use a silver note, and silver was more practical.

Father Mo went on to say: This is a silver ingot of fifty taels, these three are silver ingots of twenty taels, these two are silver ingots of ten taels, and these two are silver ingots of one tael.

Mo Rao looked at the silver coins on the table from big to small, and felt very emotional. She had risked her life to bring back the prey, but only sold it for such a small amount of silver. It was really hard to make money!

Father Mo took out thirty taels of silver, and then said to his mother and wife: This prey was brought back by Daya at the cost of her life. I shamelessly took out thirty taels of silver. I plan to give the rest of the silver to Daya, mother, and the child's mother. Do you agree?

Old Mrs. Mo said: It's her duty. The child has suffered so much. The money from selling the prey he brought back should be given to Daya.

Mo's mother said: "I have no objection. The child has suffered so much. It should be given to the child."

Father Mo turned around and asked the children beside him, "Is there anyone who has any objection to giving this money to your sister?" Who would dare to object to this question?

However, the few people had no objection to what Mr. Mo did. Under the gaze of everyone, Mr. Mo pushed the one hundred taels of silver in front of him to Mo Rao.

Mo Rao looked at the silver in front of her. She didn't expect her family would give her the silver. Their thoughts were quite decent.

Daya's family left 32 taels of silver, and the rest is for you. You know your brother is getting married soon. Our house is too small to accommodate us, so with this silver, Dad plans to build them a new room in the yard.

And your brothers and sisters, Dad has to leave some money for them.

Mo Rao picked up a silver ingot weighing twenty taels and pushed the rest to Old Lady Mo. In the original owner's memory, the original owner's grandmother was still very decent and always considered their family.

Dad, Mom, I'll just take twenty taels, and grandma can keep the rest!

You silly child, if you can’t find a husband in the future, this money will be a support for you, said Old Lady Mo earnestly.

That’s right! Mo’s father and mother said at the same time.

Mo Rao looked at her elder brother and said to her younger brother, "If I can't find a husband in the future, will you ignore me?"

Mo Qingshan quickly expressed his opinion, how could that be, this will always be your home, as long as I have food to eat, you will have food to eat, and when I am old, I will let my son take care of you.

When Mo Baoshan saw his elder brother Mo Qingshan express his opinion, he also quickly said that he would also provide for his elder sister in her old age.

The two younger sisters did not express their opinions because they were going to get married in the future and naturally could not make any promises.

Mo Rao thought and said, you see, my brothers will take care of me in the future, so grandma, you keep this money!

Old Mrs. Mo thought for a while and said: Since the girl doesn't want this silver, let's build a house. It's hard to keep so much silver in our hands. The family in the east room is not a good family. They will definitely want the silver in our hands.

The house is too dilapidated now. There are many children in the family and the eldest son is going to marry a new wife. So we might as well tear it down and rebuild it.

Everyone thought that Mrs. Mo’s proposal made sense, so no one objected.

After discussing it, Old Mrs. Mo carefully put the silver into her arms, and Mo's mother also carefully hid the thirty-two taels. Only Mo Rao put the twenty taels directly into the pillow. If you want to hide money, you have to find a place to hide it!

Mo Rao sighed and said that this house had to be built because it felt too insecure.
