Chapter 386: No More Peach Blossoms
Moreover, there are so many people in the family. Even if we exclude Li Xiu'e, who is the smallest member of the family, Shen Laoshi's family, with only him and his wife working, can get a total of six and a half taels of silver because their two sons are young.
Families with a large population and many strong laborers, such as Mr. Shen, Hunter Gao, and Doctor Guo, could receive between thirty and fifty taels.
Of course, they have a large number of people and the expenses are high. Just making two sets of clothes for one person costs more than other families.
But no matter what, families with more people can save more money. For example, Li Xiu'e, her family worked by themselves, but only got three taels of silver.
How long will it take to save money to build a house?
Seeing that the shoe sole group had settled the bill, Old Lady Hua also raised her arms and shouted, "Attention, hairpin group, we'll split the money too."
But the old lady had imagined it countless times, and this is what the exciting scene should be like.
Everyone responded:
"Roger that!"
"Roger that!"
"Roger that!"
Afterwards, she was surrounded by people, like a big shopkeeper, very majestic.
Just thinking about that scene in my mind is very exciting.
But the actual situation is:
Although the shoes were distributed to the group, every household was still immersed in the excitement of having received so much money. The chattering of the group drowned out the old lady's voice.
Only Shen Youyou, who was closest to grandma and not in the crowd, heard it. She absolutely couldn't let grandma down, so she immediately took out a plastic speaker and shouted, "Quiet, quiet."
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, he handed the loudspeaker to grandma in a very servile manner.
Only then did the old lady shout with a loud speaker: "The money for the hairpin group."
Fortunately, everyone’s reaction afterwards was very encouraging, and was pretty much the same as what the old lady had imagined. As long as we don’t care about the process, as long as the result is good, that’s enough.
Grandma Hua first distributed money to the younger girls. She patted her eldest granddaughter on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Shen Youyou picked up the purse, took out thirteen taels and handed it to grandma, who passed it on.
Shen Daya's hands were shaking with excitement, and because of her grandmother's words "Thank you for your hard work!"
Tears welled up in her eyes. "Her grandmother actually said thank you for your hard work and actually gave the money to him instead of confiscating it. After all, their family hasn't split up yet."
She said, "Grandma, won't you keep it for me?"
Grandma Hua touched her granddaughter's face and felt very proud. This granddaughter has always been very sensible, never fighting or competing, and she also knows how to take care of her younger brothers and sisters.
"I won't let you keep it. From now on, whoever gets the money in our family owns it. Do you want to give some to your parents or keep it all for yourself? It's up to you. In the future, learn from me. Don't be afraid to buy anything you want. You can earn your own money, so what are you afraid of?"
Shen Daya couldn't hold back any longer and tears rolled down her eyes.
Because his father also said, "Daya, you can keep the money yourself, you don't have to give it to your parents."
Old Lady Hua handed the money to Shen Erya again and said, "Erya, remember, although you are a maid, you are also the one who can make the most money. For example, among the maids in Tangjia Village, none of them can make as much money as you.
Now I understand that, no matter who is a man or a woman, as long as they can support themselves, it doesn’t matter if they are women or girls, women can also hold up half the sky.”
Shen Erya was open-minded and always cheerful and optimistic. She didn't cry, but grinned, took the money and said, "Thank you, grandma."
She even waved the money at her mother in a playful manner and said, "Mom, I earn more than my dad."
Little Yang was not stupid either. She also grinned and listened to her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law teasing her about her past preference for boys over girls.
"Yes, sister-in-law, look at how capable our Erya is. You can't be partial to her anymore."
The eldest sister-in-law, Song, even smiled and teased Erya: "Erya, if your mother continues to be partial to you, you can come and be my aunt's daughter. Oh, my, two older daughters can make money, I am so happy."
Little Yang smiled and patted her eldest sister-in-law: "What are you dreaming about? I'm not like that anymore, okay? Erya, you don't have to hand over your money, just keep it for yourself and use it as a heirloom when you get married."
Shen Youyou raised her lips. She had always thought that her aunt only started to pay attention to her because she saw that Erya was becoming more and more capable. Now it seems that for various reasons,
First, she was born in a family that favors boys over girls. She was influenced by this family from a young age, and it would be difficult to change even if she wanted to, even after she got married. Although Mrs. Hua is not very patriarchal, because she has more sons than daughters.
But in Shenjia Village's original village, there are still many people who prefer boys to girls, so they think this is right. People all prefer boys. Are they all wrong?
But as they fled the famine, both Shen Zhiqiu and Li Jingshu gradually got used to the idea that boys and girls were the same and that boys should not be favored over girls.
Moreover, these words were said by Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhiqiu, who they believed to be capable and cultured, so perhaps they were really wrong in the past.
Change is never achieved overnight. It is the result of going through countless hardships, growing up slowly, learning to observe the people around you, and gradually becoming a better person.
Next, it was Taohua. Old Lady Hua said, "You don't have the same personality as me. You are too soft-tempered. Grandma hopes that you can earn money and gain more confidence. Even if you go to your husband's house in the future, you must stand up straight. You can't earn money like this just to be bullied by your husband's family."
Taohua blushed: "Grandma, what are you talking about!"
Erhu in the crowd thought, "It's over. I can't even marry Taohua. I only earn three and a half taels, while Taohua earns thirteen taels. Oh!"
Next, Shen Yaya, Shen Jinxing, Shen Yinxing, Guo Daya and the old lady handed them out one by one, which made everyone in the shoe soles group jealous.
Haha, of course I am envious, but the smile on my face is still extremely bright. After all, my daughter is promising and can earn money. Who can be so ungrateful?
After the girls had given their gifts, it was the turn of the other nine old ladies.
Old Lady Hua also said to the old sisters with red eyes: "Old sisters, even though we are all grandmothers, we are still not old, we are still very capable, and each of us can earn thirteen taels of silver.
Tell those guys that your mom is still your mom, and you can hold the money in your hands. If any kid dares not to show respect, they will not get a share. "
Guo Laoda shouted: "Dad, listen quickly, my mother earned thirteen taels, thirteen taels."
Doctor Guo pretended not to hear and spoke to Old Man Shen and the other old men, but the corners of his mouth were raised, showing that he was very happy.
Shen Nannan also jumped around and showed off: "My grandma earned thirteen taels of silver, how many candies can she buy!"
The little kids were not to be outdone: "My grandma also earned thirteen taels. My grandma is the best."
"My milk is the best!"
"My grandma..."
"Nonsense, my grandma is the best!"
Oh my god, a few of these guys almost got into a fight.
Shen Luming stood in the middle and said, "My grandma is the best because she is the one who gives out money."
Shen Yuanbao also echoed, "Yes, my grandma is the best."
