Chapter 907: Lu Sanzhu’s Heritage
Madam Liang silently calculated in her heart and whispered, "Excluding the spare copper coins, our family has about forty-six taels of silver."
"How much?!" Lu Sanzhu suddenly sat up, his face full of shock, "Fo, forty-six..."
"Are you trying to get us killed by shouting like that?" Madam Liang quickly sat up too and slapped him, "You’ll attract thieves if people hear about our money."
Lu Sanzhu hurriedly covered his mouth, but still asked in astonishment, "Did you say our family has forty-six taels of silver? When did we get so much money?"
"It’s all saved up, of course."
Their family initially had about ten taels of silver, which they accumulated over the years through deceiving, tricking, and tightening their belts, painstakingly saving up. This money Madam Liang planned to use for Dabao and Baoya’s future weddings, so it was especially precious.
Latterly, when at Peach Blossom Forest, Yu claimed ten taels of silver from those young masters who bullied Lu Sanzhu as compensation. Thanks to wanting to repay those who helped and to show filial piety to their mother, they took out three taels, leaving seven taels.
Then came the time when Lu Sanzhu started working in the peach forest, initially earning one tael per month, but later his wages were raised three times.
It has been ten months now, the wages totaling twelve taels of silver.
