Chapter 379 Bargaining

  Gu Yunjiao said solemnly: "After all, there are still grandparents here, I think it's better for her to live in her parents' house."

   Seeing that the two aunts were about to open their mouths to object, she quickly said, "Of course, I will pay for her living expenses."

   The two aunts quickly turned into thoughtful expressions.

  Gu Yunjiao then asked, "Uncle, now this family has more than 20 acres of land, can they make a lot of money a year?"

   Uncle hurriedly shook his head, "Where, after paying the government's taxes and scraping the family's chews, at most three or four taels of silver will be left over a year."

   Gu Yunjiao smiled, "Then I give 5 taels of silver a year as her living expenses, what does Uncle think?"

   She learned a truth from Zhao Lizheng last time, don't reveal your bottom line too early, otherwise it will only make people gain an inch.

   Uncle's eyes lit up, five taels of silver was not a small amount, even if he ate a pound of meat a day, it was enough for more than a year.

   Just as he was about to agree, the aunt coughed lightly, and the uncle remained silent.

The aunt glanced at the silk and satin clothes on Li Shi's body, and said calmly, "Yun Jiao, you don't know, this year's harvest is not good, this family is very difficult, five taels of silver, it is difficult to support one person. some."

  The second aunt answered, "Besides, your mother doesn't know how to do things."

   "The kitchen was burned down last time, and the family spent two taels of silver to get someone to repair it. In the future, who knows what will happen next?"

  Gu Yunjiao nodded and said sincerely: "I didn't think about it carefully. What do the two aunts think is a good amount of money for a year's living expenses?"

  Second Aunt said quickly, "Then why don't you have ten taels of silver!"

  The aunt glared at the second aunt, "How come ten taels of silver are enough? Not to mention - twenty taels?"

When    said this number, Auntie trembled in her heart. Wouldn't it be too much to say?

   Logically, Mr. Li spends almost two taels a year on food.

   But thinking about the silk and satin clothes on Mrs. Li's body and the gold bracelet on Gu Yunjiao's wrist, the aunt felt that she didn't say much.

  Gu Yunjiao lowered her eyes, this aunt was too cruel, she touched her bottom line at once.

   An embarrassed look appeared on her face, "Auntie, it's not that I can't get twenty taels of silver, but, no matter what, she can't eat twenty taels of silver a year."

Aunt    hurriedly said: "Oh, Yun Jiao, look at your mother, the silk and satin clothes on her body must not be bad. The chicken, duck, and fish are all too expensive."

   "These twenty taels are really not much."

  Gu Yunjiao was silent for a while, until the hearts of the two aunts were lifted, and then she nodded slowly.

   "Then twenty taels, but the clothes she makes for the seasons are all included."

   The two aunts were in ecstasy at the moment, for twenty taels a year, a family could divide 10 taels.

  Twelve!

   This is not a small sum of money, and as long as the Li family is here, they can take this money every year.

   The two aunts became enthusiastic, and the eldest aunt said, "Yunjiao, you haven't eaten yet, or should I go and serve you a bowl of egg noodles?"

  Gu Yunjiao shook her head, "I've already eaten."

   "However, I have to remind my aunt and uncle, you pay attention, I'm worried..."

  The second aunt said hurriedly: "Don't worry, your mother is here to keep her food well and dress well. We won't let her work or run around."

   Gu Yunjiao smiled, "Then I can rest assured."
