Chapter 183 I’ve never seen so much money
"You don't know that the scene was miserable, but it saved us from digging a hole."
"On this trip, I found two hundred and thirty-six taels of silver." The speaker looked excited.
But thinking that some of his colleagues were lucky enough to find more than 300 taels, and on the way back, he also heard that someone had found more than 600 taels. He couldn't help but envy him and said: "Next time, I will look for something faster next time."
Yang Xianglian was also happily sharing with her family at this moment: "Mom and Dad, I'm fine. With so many people together, the rebels were scared away."
"There are people from the Baijiapu caravan stationed here. Everyone is honest and no one bullies anyone. By the way, do you know how much money I found during this trip?"
"There are three hundred and sixty-seven taels." In addition to the silver coins, there were also a few pieces of gold and some copper plates.
I heard from Shopkeeper Bai that the rebels came all the way and robbed many people for military expenses, so they carried more or less these things with them.
Some people may not be able to earn so much money in their lifetime, but this is their overnight achievement.
Yang Xianglian laid out the money she found yesterday, and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law who came down the mountain with her also took out the contents of their pockets.
"Sister-in-law, I'm useless. I'm slow to touch, only eighty taels." He was small, so naturally he couldn't beat those adults who found good places to touch.
The sister-in-law was also embarrassed and said: "Sister-in-law, I am a little afraid of the dark, so I found fifty-seven taels."
When Yang Xianglian heard this, she quickly said: "You are already very powerful, really, very powerful."
Such a scene would scare even an adult like her, let alone two children in their early teens.
However, because it was dark, the light from the torches was limited, which covered up many bloody scenes. In addition, the battlefield had been cleaned once before, so everyone could barely keep their faces straight.
After the family calculated the money, Yang Xianglian said excitedly: "This money is enough for our family to build a big house, send my brother-in-law to school, and prepare a dowry for my sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiaohua and Zhuang Xiaoyang looked at each other with anticipation and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, we will go with you next time."
Yang Xianglian smiled: "Okay, with the help of you two, our family's life will get better and better."
"Thanks to you." As he said this, Old Man Zhuang subconsciously touched his side.
But he didn't know where he had lost his cigarette rod when he ran away, so he could only rub it against the corner of his clothes.
Seeing this, Yang Xianglian hurriedly said: "Dad, I will buy you a cigarette pole when we get to a safe county."
Old man Zhuang grinned happily when he heard this, but still waved his hand: "No, no, I heard from people in the caravan that smoking this all the time is not good for your health. Besides, you have to spend money to buy this tobacco, so forget it."
"With this money, why not let the children eat two more bites of meat."
Mrs. Zhuang next to her also nodded: "That's the truth. Now our family depends on you Xianglian to manage the inside and outside. If you can, save it."
Although it is easy to make money now, it is rare after all. If you save money, your family will not starve to death if there is no income in the future.
When Yang Xianglian saw that her mother-in-law's clothes were missing a corner, she immediately turned around twice and quickly found a new patch on her child's body, using the missing corner of her mother-in-law's clothes.
"Mom, thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, what are you talking about? If you want to say it's hard work, it has to be you." Mrs. Zhuang waved her hand.
She and the old man watched the three children on the mountain. It was the daughter-in-law who followed them down the mountain to find a way to make a living.
"Father, mother, this is what I think. It happens that the Baijiapu caravan has cotton cloth and cotton. I want to buy some with the caravan." Yang Xianglian: "We don't have any decent clothes in this big family. It’s always freezing in winter, and you’ll be in big trouble if you get cold.”
"Besides."
She lowered her voice and continued: "We will be on the road again. Rather than carrying so much cash with us and being scared, it is better to exchange for something so that we can have enough food and clothing and save the heartache of losing money."
When Old Man Zhuang heard this, he nodded: "That's right."
Mrs. Zhuang also agreed. After all, her family was orphaned, widowed, old, young and weak. If it weren't for the Baijiabao caravan, they would have been robbed long ago.
Yang Xianglian gave her parents-in-law twenty taels of silver each, saying that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
He also gave two taels of silver to each of his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, then put the rest away and took his sister-in-law to the caravan to buy things.
On the way, she met a child from another family licking a piece of candy. Yang Xianglian couldn't help but look at her sister-in-law beside her.
"Xiaohua, do you want some candy?"
Zhuang Xiaohua subconsciously sipped her saliva, then shook her head: "No, sister-in-law, I won't eat."
Yang Xianglian felt heartbroken when she saw it: "It's okay, just eat. My sister-in-law will buy it for you later, and your brother too."
Her sister-in-law and brother-in-law were only eleven years old. They worked with her all night without complaining at all. How could she not feel distressed.
"Forget it, sister-in-law, we are all adults..." Zhuang Xiaohua refused sensibly: "Candy is something only children eat."
But when she lowered her head, she couldn't help but glance at the child licking the candy happily from the corner of her eyes. She looked so sweet.
"What adults, how old are you?" Yang Xianglian: "Besides, adults can eat it too. My sister-in-law will buy more later, just in time for my parents to have a taste."
To put it bluntly, eat some when you can. If something happens later, you won't die in peace because you didn't buy this candy at this time.
Zhuang Xiaohua was not very old after all. When she heard this, she couldn't help but said happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, I will just have a small piece, and give Huzi, Danniu, and Xuehua more to eat."

Yang Xianglian smiled: "You are all children, you all eat, you all eat."
Like Yang Xianglian, there were many people who wanted to buy things. Bai Duojin reported Baitao, and after getting permission, he appropriately sold some cotton cloth and cotton to these people, and also sold dozens of pairs of cotton shoes.
We also sell a lot of other food, including salt and sugar.
Especially for canned oranges, even if Taohua Village sells them for 500 Wen per can, some people come to buy them and more than 100 cans are sold.
Zhou Yang's family bought several cans, while Yang Xianglian bought three cans.
She and her three children shared one can, her sister-in-law and brother-in-law shared one can, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law shared one can.
While recording the sales of various goods in his notebook, Bai Duojin thought to himself that it seemed that these people had gotten a lot of money from these two battles and were willing to eat it.
Although Lu Xiaohao and Yang Song went down to see the situation, they also found some money, especially Yang Song, who found out his experience and got more than 800 taels of silver.
After he came back, he calculated that even if the Baijiabao caravan left behind, he could still escape with dignity with his master.
But for now, I definitely want to stay with the caravan. Firstly, it’s safe, and secondly, having three meals a day is covered, which saves a lot of money.
Thank you all for your support. I want to ask for tickets again~~~
