Chapter 503 Counting the money
Wu Wulang nodded in recognition and glanced at his father secretly.
Lao Zhou didn't say anything, and stared back when he looked over.
Wu Lang and Man Bao lowered their heads and started to laugh together.
Wu Lang was very curious, so he asked Lao Zhoutou in a low voice, "Dad, is your mother-in-law difficult to deal with?"
"Huh?" Man Bao counted on his fingers. Isn't my father's mother-in-law my grandmother?
Manbao, who had never seen her grandmother before, also became excited. She left her mother behind and ran up to listen.
Can Lao Zhoutou say he is difficult in front of his wife?
So Lao Zhou glanced at the two children and said, "How is your grandma?"
Qian walked forward without looking sideways. Lao Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It's strange that when he came to the door that year, she was the one who refused to let Qian go home with him, and even had three uncles hold him down and beat him up.
As soon as he got home, Liu Lang led a group of nephews and nieces around him, "Fifth brother, are they in love?"
Wu Lang raised his head proudly, "Of course, the marriage has been decided."
When everyone heard this, they all screamed and congratulated him. Even Xiao Qian couldn't help but stand at the door of the kitchen and laughed, "Now Lao Wu's wish has come true."
Lao Zhoutou disliked them for being too noisy, so he waved his hand and said, "Go back to your courtyard and don't make too much noise. What's the noise like?"
When they were about to leave, Lao Zhoutou suddenly remembered something and called Liu Lang, "Liu Lang, you are not young anymore, you can also say kiss."
Zhou Lang immediately said: "Dad, I'm not in a hurry."
He said: "I don't want to marry you yet. Let's wait until I'm a few years older."
"How old do you want to be? Your eldest brother already married a wife when he was your age."
Saturday Lang said: "Anyway, I don't want to say goodbye."
After that, he followed the others and ran to the small courtyard.
He said to the curious Zhou Wulang and Man Bao: "I'm not stupid. In these eight villages, every good girl over the age of fifteen has been chosen by Fifth Brother. It makes no sense that Fifth Brother didn't choose me, but I did."
Already."
Man Bao: "...There are still many people inside who don't like Fifth Brother. Maybe those people can like you?"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Zuolang said: "That won't work. It would be embarrassing to meet her at home later. Anyway, I don't want to get a wife yet."
Unlike Wu Lang, who has been thinking about marrying a wife since he was a child, Zhou Lang has not thought about it, especially after he got a new house and had his own room, he never thought about marrying a wife.
Not only will his wife have to live with him after he gets married, but he will also have to live in the same room with him when he gives birth to children. It's so annoying just thinking about it.
He prefers to sleep alone in a big bed.
Man Bao told her mother what Sixth Brother had said without any hesitation.
Qian was speechless for a while, but Lao Zhou was not too worried anymore. He laughed and said: "It's because I haven't got the hang of it yet. It will be fine when I get the hang of it."
What else could Qian do besides nodding?
Wu Lang has made an engagement, so we are not far away from getting married.
After waiting for a few days, Lao Zhoutou felt that the two families were familiar with each other, so he asked Wu Lang to carry a chicken and follow Matchmaker Wang to ask about the wedding date.
It was unexpectedly smooth. The Lu family actually hoped that their two children could get married as soon as possible. In the words of an old doctor, "Zhi Niang is not young anymore. She will be eighteen after the Chinese New Year."
Mother Lu's attitude towards Wu Lang was quite good this time, so Wu Lang was very satisfied and quickly set the wedding date.
They went to the Taoist priest on the mountain to calculate the auspicious day, which happened to be December 21st. The third day after the wedding wine was the Little New Year.
Lao Zhoutou also thinks that these days are good. When preparing meat, he doesn't have to worry about having too much meat. If there is more, he can just keep it for the New Year.
There is a wedding reception at home, but this time Lao Zhoutou no longer cares about the money. Just like the last time Zhou Lang got married, he felt distressed over the money spent.
Because now my son is rich.
In fact, Hua Yong was not much different from when he arranged Zhou Lang's marriage, but the feeling was different. He couldn't help but said to Qian: "There is a big difference between the feeling of having money and the feeling of not having money."
Qian couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't this nonsense?"
Old Zhou counted the money at home again, and then he closed the box with satisfaction.
Wu Lang was also counting money at this time. He was about to get married, so Man Bao took out his share of money from the system and gave it to him.
The money they kept with her always had its own box and account book. Every time she gave the money to her, she would throw it directly into the corresponding box and then take it out and record it in the account book.
Every time they withdraw money from her, they also keep an account, so the accounts are very clear.
Wu Lang didn't even look at the account book, he just took the box back to his room and started counting happily.
Manbao and Liulang were very curious, so they sneaked into the room and counted together.
In his box, there were two brand-new five-tael silver ingots that were distributed by his family before, as well as some small silver nuggets, and more copper coins strung into dangles.
Wu Lang counted again and again, and was surprised. Although he knew in his heart that he was very rich, he did not expect to be so rich.
He couldn't tell how much the broken pieces of silver weighed. He had to weigh them.
But there are only twenty-eight taels of these that can be counted, and these alone are enough for him to marry three wives.
Friday Lang happily instructed Saturday Lang, "Go and get a scale for me. I want to weigh the weight of these silver coins."
Liu Lang was also itchy and said to Man Bao, "I also want to count my money."
Manbao said there was no problem.
The brother and sister ran out together, one went to the courtyard to get the scale, and the other ran back to the room to get the cash box.
Saturday Lang also has two and a half taels of silver ingots, but his remaining money is less than that of Friday Lang. In fact, their incomes are almost the same, mainly because of the difference in spending.
Friday Lang had always been thinking about marrying a wife, so he was very determined to save money, but Saturday Lang was different.
Before the Chinese New Year, he would buy himself new fabrics to make clothes. He also liked to eat all kinds of delicious food, so he spent a lot.
The main reason is that he doesn't want to marry a wife.
But when he was counting the money, he couldn't help but look at the fifth brother's money box with envy and sadness, "If I had known, I wouldn't have spent so much."
Man Bao said nonchalantly: "If you don't spend money and you don't marry a wife, what are you doing keeping it?"
She said: "I spent a lot. I have already agreed with Bai Shanbao and the others that we will go to a restaurant in the county to eat delicious food during the Chinese New Year this year."
Zhou Lang perked up and asked, "Can you take me with you?"
"Yes, but you have to pay a share."
Liulang touched his money reluctantly and asked: "How much do you want?"
"We initially calculated that each person will need 300 yuan."
Before Zhou Lang could respond, Wu Lang exclaimed, "There are so many, are you eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow?"
"Not only eating in restaurants, but also buying delicious food from the streets and alleys to eat together." Man Bao said: "The three of us have similar appetites. If we buy too much, we can't finish it. You can buy one portion and two portions.
Share it and eat it, so you can eat a lot of good food."
Liu Lang's eyes brightened slightly, and he nodded repeatedly: "This method is good, this method is good, I will also participate."
Wu Lang was very doubtful, "Won't you get upset if you eat so much food at once?"
Man Bao smiled and said: "Yes, so we decided to eat in three days."
Liu Lang was even more happy, "This is good, this is good, Man Bao, you and the young master of the Bai family said that I should also participate. It just so happens that I am older than you and can protect you."
