After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Chapter 122 Counting the remaining money

After all the outsiders had left, Lin Chuyi still had one last contract in her hand that had not been redeemed. She picked up the last contract and took a look. It was the contract signed by the head of the village.

Lin Chuyi took another contract from Liu Erzhu, counted the money himself and handed it to Liu Erzhu, and asked Liu Erzhu to weigh out two kilograms of pepper seeds himself.

Liu Erzhu got the money and the stamped contract, and turned into the main room without wasting a moment.

Since their family has not split up, these things should naturally be handed over to his parents for safekeeping. This money is too hot to handle for him, so it would be better to hand it over to his father as soon as possible.

As the contract with the head of the village was stamped, the pepper seeds and rent filled in the contracts of each household were distributed.

Lin Chuyi counted the remaining things in the bag and found that there was still a lot of money and seeds left, 15.6 jin of chili peppers, 12 liang of silver, and 3,550 copper coins.

Lin Chuyi took out two strings of money from his purse, handed one to Sun and the other to Lin Wuyou.

"This is your share of wages. Each person gets 25 cents. This string is 50 cents. Aunt Sun, Uncle Erzhu is not here right now, and you are husband and wife, so I will give you his share as well."

"Oh, how can this be done? I just helped out and it didn't take any effort. How can I take the money? Take it back now."

Sun waved her hand and said no, they were all from the same village, how could they charge for helping each other? And this girl was too generous, wasn't she? She only helped for half a day, and she actually wanted to give them fifty coins!

Although she knew she shouldn't accept the money, it was fifty cents and could buy a lot of things. She was so tempted, what should she do?

Sun turned her face away and didn't look at the fifty cents. Her hand left a shadow in front of Lin Chuyi. Lin Chuyi looked at the conflicted Sun and actually thought she was a little cute. He didn't take the money back, but continued to persuade her.

"Aunt Sun, just accept it. You see, my younger brothers and sisters also get paid, I can't favor one over the other." Lin Chuyi gestured to Aunt Sun to look at Lin Wuyou and the others.

Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng were very honest. As soon as Lin Chu gave something to them, they accepted it without any intention of refusing.

At this moment, the two of them were standing by the table, untying the knots on the copper coin strings, dividing the coins one by one, and the smiles on their faces never faded.

They had followed Lin Chuyi to the town before and had seen their second sister spending money lavishly, so they were not too surprised by today's scene. However, their second sister gave them money, saying it was a reward for their hard work today, which made them very happy.

This was the first time they had money of their own, and it was money earned through their own hard work. They enjoyed playing the money-dividing game, touching and counting the copper coins they were given, cherishing them very much.

Seeing how useless they were, Lin Chuyi felt so helpless that she couldn't bear to look at them. Sun was also amused by their money-grubbing appearance.

At this time, the headman's wife, Wang, came out with a tray and said to Sun, "Second son's wife, Chuyi girl said so, you should take the money."

Seeing that her mother-in-law had spoken, Sun naturally had to listen to her. She blushed and looked at Lin Chuyi and said embarrassedly, "Then... then I won't be polite."

Lin Chuyi smiled and handed the money over again. Wang watched Sun take the money and then sent her to the kitchen to help.

She put the tray in her hand on the table and gave Lin Chuyi a kind smile.

"You've been busy all morning and haven't even had time to drink water. You must be thirsty now, right? I've poured some water for you. Come over here and have a drink and take a rest."

"I didn't feel it until you said it, but now that you mentioned it, I really feel a little thirsty."

After Lin Chuyi responded, he turned his eyes to the tray, on which were three bowls of water. Lin Chuyi picked up one of the bowls and found that the water was warm and not hot to the touch.

Lin Chuyi handed a bowl to Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng respectively. The siblings took the water and drank it up in gulps. They had been thirsty after counting money all morning.

Lin Chuyi also picked up a bowl and started drinking. After taking a sip, Lin Chuyi found that the water was actually sweet. This sweetness was not the sweetness of water, but was probably because sugar was added.

This surprised Lin Chuyi a little. In that era, the sugar-making technology was not well developed, and the price of sugar was higher than that of salt. There were not many people in the countryside who could use sugar water to entertain guests.

Lin Chuyi looked at Wang and said, "Why is sugar added to this? Grandma Wang, you are too polite."

"It's just a little sugar. If you like it, I'll make you some more."

Wang was still smiling. Although sugar was expensive, she didn't feel sorry at all to give it to Lin Chuyi and the others.

Although Wang said so, Lin Chuyi could never really let her do that.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we only need to finish one bowl. We have finished our work. I will tell the village head and go back now."

"Why are you going back? It's almost time for dinner. Stay and have a quick meal before you leave."

"How can this be possible?" Lin Chuyi quickly refused.

She had been doing business at the headman's house early in the morning, not only disturbing his peace, but also beating someone up in his house. To some extent, this was a slap in the face of the headman. How could she have the nerve to stay and eat for free now?

Wang Shi didn't allow her to refuse. "Why not? The old man told me that he took five taels of silver from you, so it's only right for him to treat you to a simple meal. Don't refuse. I asked my second son to go to your house and tell your eldest sister that there's no need to cook for you at noon. You won't be able to eat if you go back. I've already started cooking here, and the meal will be ready in a while. You guys, just stay and eat."

Wang Shi had already acted first and asked for permission later, what else could Lin Chuyi say? He could only agree to her kindness.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to help."

"No, no, no, we are guests. It is not right to cook for guests. My old man is in the house. Go talk to him and the food will be ready soon."

Every time Lin Chuyi went to see the head of the village, she had something serious to discuss. Now that she was suddenly asked to chat with the head of the village, she really didn't know what to say.

When Lin Chuyi was worrying about what topic to talk about next, she caught a glimpse of Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng playing with the village head's grandson and granddaughter, and she suddenly had an idea.

"okay, I get it."

Seeing that she agreed, Wang happily went into the kitchen to prepare food.

Lin Chuyi tied up the remaining money in a sack and put it together with the bag of seeds, then picked up the bag and looked at his two children.

"Just play in the yard. Don't run around. I'm in that room. Remember to let me know if anything happens."

"it is good."

"I know, second sister."
