Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 138 Listen to the sound of wow

Just as Li Ruru was about to speak, Xiao Yishan suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

He ran over and quickly closed the gate, then said to Qiqi, who was lying in the yard, "Go and guard the gate."

Qiqi pricked up its ears, stretched, and trotted off to stand guard.

“Godmother, you can speak now,” Xiao Yishan said.

Everyone sat down at the large dining table. Li Ruru took out her account book, flipped through it for a while, and said, "We make 76 buckets of konjac every day and earn 75 taels."

Yinyin covered her mouth in excitement. My God, they can actually earn so much money in a day!

She's always busy playing and eating delicious food, and never cares about making money.

Hearing Li Ruru do the accounts, he was overjoyed and danced with delight.

She counted on her fingers and said, "75 taels a day, that's 150 taels for two days."

“Yes, he earned more than Chen Sanbao in just two days,” Xiao Yishan added.

Chen Sanbao had earned 100 taels of silver from digging ginseng, and he was so arrogant that he was practically strutting around the village every day.

My godmother made money, but she kept a very low profile and didn't make a fuss about it at all.

Li Ruru continued, "30 days is 2250 taels."

"Duo Shao? You mean Duo Shao?" Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, and Qi Qi barked twice in dissatisfaction.

What's wrong with these owners? Why are they all so easily startled and shouting so loudly today?

Xiao Wu's eyes widened. Even though he had seen a lot of the world with the young master, he was still shocked by this number.

That's over two thousand taels! Hearing it from his godmother, a village woman, felt like a dream come true.

Li Ruru glared at him. Why are they all like this? Can't they even let a person finish speaking?

"After giving 225 taels each to Pan Dayan and Third Aunt's family, there was still..."

"1800 taels!" Chaochao blurted out, her fair face flushed with excitement.

Even someone as composed as her was incredibly excited.

Peipei laughed and said, "1800 taels of silver could buy hundreds of me."

She was sold by her uncle and aunt for 5 taels of silver, but her mother not only rescued her, but also made so much money.

My mother is amazing, even more amazing than a god.

Li Ruru was very happy to have made money. She said cheerfully, "Everyone deserves credit for this money."

As she spoke, she opened one of the boxes, which contained scattered silver coins, some weighing 10 taels, some 5 taels, and some 100 taels.

"Everyone has worked hard for a month, so consider this as your pocket money."

Li Ruru took out a pile of silver and gave each person 50 taels.

Yinyin, clutching the silver, went to find Qiqi. "Look! I have money! Lots of money!"

Qiqi stretched his neck and glanced at her indifferently. That thing can't be eaten, so what's so interesting about it?

Peipei wrapped the silver in a handkerchief and stuffed it into Li Ruru's hand, saying, "Mother, you've given me too much. I don't really have any expenses."

She has no worries about food and drink at home; her mother has bought her several outfits and made several pairs of shoes.

What would an unmarried girl like her need so much money for? Her mother should keep it.

Seeing her sister like this, Chaochao stuffed the silver back into Li Ruru's arms and said, "I don't really have any expenses."

If she could, she would actually like to buy a few books.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu refused, as their godmother had given them too much, and they hadn't done much, only occasionally helping out.

The heavy and tiring work was done by Granny Pan and Granny San's family; they only helped occasionally.

The rest of the time he spends at home reading, writing, cutting grass, chopping wood, and so on.

Besides, their godmother takes care of their three meals a day, ensuring they eat well and are full every time, with meat every day. What more could they ask for?

How dare they take pocket money?

Everyone wanted to return the money to Li Ruru, but Chu Xiu, being quite tactless, put it in his own pocket.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he rubbed his forehead and said, "My godmother has her reasons for giving us money. How heartbroken and sad she must be if you all refuse her like this, right, godmother?"

He took Li Ruru's hand and said softly, "Isn't that right?" Li Ruru didn't know whether to nod or not, so she simply pushed him away.

Open another box on the ground.

"Wow~"

The crowd gasped again, and Li Ruru heard another chorus of "Wow!"

Seeing the children's dismissive expressions, she smiled helplessly and said, "These are gold leaves I bought. I'll sew them into your clothes later."

Gold leaves are gold leaf-shaped pieces that wealthy families typically use to decorate their clothes.

"Huh? Why?" Everyone looked confused.

Li Ruru didn't know how to explain it; she couldn't very well say that the rainstorm warning in her online space had turned completely black.

You can't exactly say that there might be a heavy rain in the future; carrying money is inconvenient and too conspicuous, and you might attract unwanted attention.

If the torrential rain continues and people go hungry, riots are bound to break out.

She said, "Gold leaves are beautiful and will bring you good fortune."

Chu Xiu believed in these things the most, and he was the first to agree: "Okay, godmother, you sew it for me first."

As he spoke, he took off his outer robe.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu followed suit, while Chaochao and Peipei stood still. They were young women and wouldn't take off their clothes so easily.

“Okay.” Li Ruru took out a needle and thread and quickly sewed the clothes for the three of them. The gold leaves were hidden in the lining of the clothes and could not be seen at all.

After playing for a while, Yinyin put a pile of silver coins into a wooden box. "Mother, you can put them away. I don't need them."

After thinking for a moment, he took out another ounce, saying, "I'll take this to buy candied hawthorns."

One tael of silver would be enough for her to eat candied hawthorns every day for the next few months.

Chu Xiu put on the outer robe and only felt that it was a little heavy, but he didn't feel any discomfort.

He put the 100 taels of silver back into the box and said, "I don't want this silver anymore."

Who wants silver when there are gold leaves?

He wasn't greedy; it's just that after his falling out with his father last time, he never came home and ran out of money.

Although I lacked nothing at my godmother's house, I always felt uneasy without money in my pocket.

Li Ruru still had the money she earned from selling glass cups and setting up a small stall in her space, totaling about 200 taels.

With this 1800 taels, he now has a full 2000 taels in his hands.

This number was enormous, large enough for the whole family to collapse. Li Ruru's heart pounded with excitement.

Earning money was hard work; there were always some oddballs who would provoke her. She even almost had her entire family wiped out by bandits.

But overall, the outcome was good. With money in her pocket, she felt less anxious and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's lunch was exceptionally sumptuous, and the whole family gathered together in a joyful atmosphere.

-

On the mountain.

He Dajiao was digging for medicinal herbs. His old ox had sprained its ankle and had been taking medicine for over a month, but it still wasn't getting better.

He no longer had any money to buy medicine, so he had to go up the mountain to dig it up himself.

He Dajiao didn't know many herbs, so he picked out a small basketful of the ones he recognized.

As he dug, he eventually reached the hill behind Li Ruru's house.

"Huh? What is this?"

He Dajiao stood by the repaired canal and looked at it. The canal was dug along the ridge, and some trees were planted on both sides.

It looks like it was used for drainage, and it appears to have been repaired more than a month ago.

Li Ruru's house is down the mountain. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the one her family dug.

She must have a lot of free time. It only rained a few drops a month ago. Is it really necessary to dig a ditch to drain the water?
As expected of a woman, long hair but short-sighted.

He muttered a few words, picked up his basket, and headed down the mountain.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, as if remembering something.
