Chapter 480: Buying Another House

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Old Madam w.a.n.g refused to admit that she had not made it clear previously, but she took this opportunity to tell her three sons.

Other than w.a.n.g Chuanman, those who stayed at home to farm and those who stayed in town to do business could take 30% of their profits as the income for their family.

w.a.n.g Chuangui asked eagerly, “Mother, what about me? What about me?”

Old Madam w.a.n.g looked at him. “Don’t be anxious. You get a share too.”

The smile on w.a.n.g Chuangui’s face bloomed, but before his smile could completely bloom, he heard Old Madam w.a.n.g’s next words.

“You’re studying now. So, you already owe our family more than 100 taels of silver. According to our rules, you will be exempted from 30% of the debt. Remember to return the rest within 10 years.”

w.a.n.g Chuangui:

Could it be that he was the only one in the family who was at a disadvantage?

“That’s not right. How did I use up 100 taels of silver? When I came to the prefecture city to study, I only paid my tuition once and gave three gifts.”

The tuition fee was five taels of silver, and the wedding gifts were bought with the money earned by the couple themselves.

Old Madam w.a.n.g: “Do you think your brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones came out of thin air? These don’t cost money?”

“But—” w.a.n.g Chuangui’s eyes widened. “My inkstone is a stone polished by Father, and my brush was also made by Father. The ink block cost some money, but wasn’t that given to me by County Magistrate Zhang?”

How did it become 100 taels? Thinking about it, the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones were at most worth a little more.

However, when he helped others copy books, the other party would give him extra paper as a backup. As time pa.s.sed, he would not have to spend extra money to buy paper.

Old Madam w.a.n.g did not even blink. “I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that your father used to make inkstones for people. Not to mention 100 taels, he could even sell the inkstones for 200 taels of silver! And that sheep hair brush. Do you think it’s hair from an ordinary sheep? That’s Ah Yu’s lamb. It’s a piece of wool that was plucked from the lamb’s body. Up until now, have you ever seen it rolling up or splitting off? Without Ah Yu’s material, your father wouldn’t be able to make such a good brush even if he hired a brush master!”

w.a.n.g Chuangui was speechless. Just like that, Old Madam w.a.n.g calculated the debt of 100 taels of silver to more than 300 taels.

w.a.n.g Chuangui was on the brink of tears.

Why did he feel that he was not born by his mother?

They were all her sons. If they had the ability, they could cheat together. How could they take advantage of him over some sheep hair?

It was too dishonest!

w.a.n.g Chuangui told Madam Ma about this and complained to her.

However, Madam Ma was very open-minded. “Husband, didn’t I tell you before that Mother’s words are like an imperial edict? Don’t go against Mother. Otherwise, you’ll be the only one who suffers.”

The two of them had been married for so many years, but Madam Ma had never seen her husband fare well at the hands of her mother-in-law.

However, Madam Ma believed that her mother-in-law always had her reasons for doing things.

w.a.n.g Chuangui shook his head vigorously. “…Honey, you’re hopeless. You’re really hopeless.”

When did your elbow become crooked?

Heavens, there was actually no place in this world that was reasonable.

While w.a.n.g Chuangui was complaining, Old Madam w.a.n.g took advantage of the curfew to find an agent in the prefecture capital and said that she wanted to buy a house here.

w.a.n.g Chuanfu was surprised. “Mother, why are you buying a house in the prefecture capital?”

“Is it because Chuangui wants to study, so you specially bought a house to make it easier for him to study?” w.a.n.g Chuanman imagined it reasonably.

Old Madam w.a.n.g ignored them and asked the agent to introduce what houses he had.

The agent originally thought that she was an ordinary old lady and did not pay much attention to her. He thought that she was probably asking casually.

Old Madam w.a.n.g asked, “Is there anything with more than three courtyard entrances suitable for a bridal home?”

More than three courtyard entrances suitable for a bridal home?

This was a big deal!

One had to know that the rules in the prefecture capital were much stricter than in the townships. Ordinary people could not live in houses with three courtyards even if they were rich.

They had to have a meritorious status.. At the very least, they had to be a county scholar!
