After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

Chapter 210 My aunt brought back a lot of banknotes last time

“Not yet, but soon!

I had intended to come back, but because we didn't know what the situation would be like, we came back first.

Now the house will be almost finished no matter how fast or slow it goes.

The reason I came here this time is because your great aunt was worried about Jinhong, so she asked me to come and check on him.

By the way, I can stay here to review my studies, so as to avoid the hot weather. I will have to come here once in June and again in August."

When he said this, he asked, "Rongrong, why did you go to Lucheng this time?"

Su Rongrong felt happy to see that they were so sure that Jinhong would pass the exam.

"That's right! The weather is so hot now. If Jinhong can pass the prefectural exam this time, he will have to take part in the academy exam in June.

It's not appropriate to run back and forth.

As for going to Lucheng, you should know, cousin, since we knew there was a drought, we must prepare more water.

But water is not easy to store, especially in such hot weather.

If using water tanks, how big should the water tanks be and how many water tanks are needed?

Well, Brother Zheng heard that there is an imported product overseas called a water tower, which can hold a lot of water.

The reason we went out this time was for this water tower.

Because water towers are difficult to build, their number is limited.

This time we have emptied out all of their savings. Apart from my family and Zheng Ge’s family, I can only give you three at most.

But at this time, this kind of thing, you know, uncle, cannot be seen in the light.

In order to avoid attracting covetousness, we plan to transport it back secretly at night.

When it is filled with water, it will be stored in the cellar.”

Fu Zihang was moved after hearing this.

He grew up in the northwest, and because of the perennial drought there, he knew that every drop of water was precious.

Su Rongrong and the others traveled thousands of miles to get back things from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Even if they didn't share the things among them, no one could say anything.

Now that you are willing to divide it into three, it would be a great favor.

Thinking of this, he bowed to Su Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, thank you, cousin!"

Su Rongrong quickly moved away, and after Fu Zihang straightened up, she changed the subject.

"Uncle, how was my family's situation before you came over?"

Fu Zihang didn't pay much attention to these things because he was preparing for the Autumn Examination in August.

Hearing this, he felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Rongrong, you also know about my cousin's situation. My family has high hopes for me in this autumn exam, so I didn't pay much attention to these things.

All I know is that when we first returned, Qiaoqiao said that it was hot and business was bad, so she wanted to close the stall.

Not long after that, Jia Jia went to Sujia Village to work for Man Man. "

Su Rongrong asked this to change the subject. She didn't expect to get any information from him.

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Well, I understand, thank you for telling me, uncle.

It's too hot outside and I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first.

I will stay here for the next few days, and I will go back after Jinhong finishes his exams!"

Jinhong was able to come for the scientific examination, but Fu Zihang knew nothing about it, so I guess her mother should be fine.

If that's the case, then she will rest for a few days and then go back!

*

Su Jinhong performed exceptionally well in this provincial examination, mainly thanks to the pre-exam cramming given to him by Baili Zheng and the three sets of papers.

When he came out, even though his lips were dry and chapped and his face was a little pale, everyone could see the smile in his eyes.

Su Rongrong went to pick him up personally. She didn't ask any questions. After bringing him back to Qi's house, she let him take a bath first.

But when he came out, he was given a bowl of iced mung bean porridge and then allowed to rest.

Not only Jinhong, but also other candidates in Lanxia County School were the same.

The chilled mung bean porridge at home is made by Su Rongrong.

Except for the ones given to Jinhong, the ones for everyone else were chilled with water drawn from the well.

At this moment, the county school instructor didn't ask or say anything. He just asked everyone to wash up, eat something, and then go to bed.

Everyone slept until noon the next day.

When Su Jinhong saw Su Rongrong, the smile on his face was particularly bright.

He felt that he should be able to secure the title of Tongsheng this time.

As long as they work harder and pass the college entrance examination in June, their family will no longer have to worry about corvee labor.

Not only that, my sister doesn't need to set up a female household. When she reaches the age of 15, she can get married if she finds someone she likes.

There is no need to wait until he is sixteen or eighteen to consider these things.

Su Rongrong didn't even wait for him to speak, and said directly: "Jinhong, I think you should have done well in the exam this time, and it's no problem for you to be a Tongsheng.

It's so hot today, you don't have to rush back and forth, just stay here to review your studies and wait for the college entrance examination in June.

I think my cousin should be quite knowledgeable. If the teachers have all gone back, if you have any questions, just ask my cousin directly.

Another thing is, before I came back from Lu City this time, that person must have done a lot of bad things and died as a result of retribution.

As for the body, it was not kept. Brother Zheng had it burned to ashes and scattered in the sea to feed the fish. "

Su Jinhong knew who the person his elder sister was talking about was.

After hearing about Su Ye's fate, the hatred in his heart subsided a lot.

"You deserve it!"

He said bitterly, and then asked: "So, sister, are you going back?"

"Yes! It's so hot this day, and it's mid-to-late April, so I won't wait for the government to post the notice.

I guess by the time I get back, the watermelons in our field will be ready to be harvested.

Whether our family can make a lot of money this year depends on this, so there is no time to delay!"

Su Jinhong told her about the situation at home without thinking.

Finally, he said, "Sister, my aunt brought back a lot of banknotes last time she went back.

She said that this was accumulated by several generations of the Qi family and was used by the Li family to support the Li and Qi family members.

It can be said that more than half of it was squandered.

None of those could be recovered, even the ones that were given to Qi Jiayue as a dowry could not be taken back.

Now there are only more than 10,000 yuan left, and she plans to split it in half with her mother.

So, after discussing with Manman and the others, we decided to keep it.

At present, the banknotes are all with Manman and have not been divided yet.

What I mean is to divide it into five parts, one for each of us siblings.

As for Jinhui and I, whether we use the money for studying or building a family business is up to us.

And yours will be considered as your dowry in the future.

But Manman disagreed, saying that we were still young and lived together, so there was no need to divide it so clearly, it would be like splitting up the family.

From what she said, it seemed that she wanted us to settle down in the capital after I passed the imperial examination.

Seven or eight thousand taels, plus the more than two thousand taels I got from Xu Ying before, it seems like a lot.

But my studies cost money, and buying a house in the capital in the future will also cost a lot.

As the eldest son, the house and land I bought at a huge price, won’t they eventually become mine?

If all your money is used to buy these things, what will you have when you get married?"
