Chapter 153: The Abacus
"What?" Wang Yongzhu thought that only Old Granny Zhang had lost her wits, but now even the usually astute Wang Laozhu had gone offline too?
Both Wang Yongzhu and Old Granny Zhang were surprised and looked at Wang Laozhu together.
Old Granny Zhang had thought that the head of the family would definitely disagree because, after all, not to mention Qilidun, she feared that no one in the nearby villages had ever done such a thing.
In her heart, she planned to broach the subject first and then get her daughter’s silver. When the time came to say the silver had been spent and couldn’t be returned, she would bring up compensating her daughter with the dry land. She estimated that the plan would have a seventy or eighty percent chance of success.
She wasn’t really foolish enough to think that as soon as she mentioned it, the head of the family would agree to give her daughter everything she treasured?
It was only her silly daughter, the maid, who really thought she hadn’t considered everything and was anxiously hopping mad!
Before her daughter got married, this matter definitely couldn’t be settled, and not a word could be leaked. Otherwise, if that pack of ingrates couldn’t touch her, they might trip her daughter up behind her back. Wouldn’t her daughter suffer then?
Who would have thought that the head of the family would actually agree?
Could he have lost his wits too?
That was the only thought in the minds of the mother and daughter.
Under the gaze of the mother and daughter, Wang Laozhu calmly took a puff of his smoke, "I’ve thought about it, and this matter could indeed be arranged in such a way, but there’s a condition. The daughter must marry a man into our family. This way, the land will still belong to the Wang Family in the future, and no one else will be able to gossip about it. Even the clan won’t have anything to say."
