The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 585 Increase by 0 and spend money

After dinner, Tang Xiaojing finally remembered the need for pocket money again.

Hey, beauty is really misleading.

While washing the dishes, Tang Xiaojing racked his brains and thought about how he would talk to his money-obsessed wife about increasing her pocket money later.

Tang Xiaojing finished washing the dishes absentmindedly, quickly washed up and returned to the house.

Ye Qingqing had to wash her hair today. Her hair was very thick and very long. It took a lot of time to wash her hair.

Tang Xiaojing waited in the room until he almost fell asleep, and then Ye Qingqing slowly came out of the bathroom.

Ye Qingqing walked in slowly while wiping her long hair that was still dripping with water.

Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing with enthusiasm, quickly took the cloth and wiped Ye Qingqing's hair carefully.

After wiping her hair, she patted Ye Qingqing's head. It was so comfortable that Ye Qingqing almost fell asleep.

Ye Qingqing does embroidery every day, which is actually quite stressful. Tang Xiaojing often presses Ye Qingqing's head.

Ye Qingqing didn't think much, and comfortably enjoyed the service of her husband.

It wasn't until Tang Xiaojing, with a flattering look on his face, pressed her shoulders that were stiff and sore from doing embroidery for a long time that Ye Qingqing felt something was wrong.

Is this person a little too enthusiastic today? Have you done anything bad in the county?

Seeing her husband's fawning look, Ye Qingqing felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Ye Qingqing pinched Tang Xiaojing's smiling face and said, "To show your courtesy for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Tang Xiaojing still had a smile on his face and approached Ye Qingqing with a flattering expression.

"Madam, 50 Wen a month's pocket money is really not enough. Can it be increased?"

Ye Qingqing was relieved when he heard that his pocket money was only going to be increased, as long as he didn't incur any romantic debts.

But she immediately thought of what her mother said, men tend to become bad when they are rich. Why should a good man need to increase his pocket money?

Ye Qingqing narrowed his eyes, looked Tang Xiaojing up and down, and looked at Tang Xiaojing with a puzzled expression.

"I take care of all the food, clothing, housing and transportation at home. If you usually eat with Shopkeeper Wang or buy things for me, you will deduct it from the reserve fund afterwards."

"It seems like you actually don't have much opportunity to use money. Where did your pocket money go? How come there isn't enough?"

Tang Xiaojing felt a little guilty after being asked a series of questions by Ye Qingqing, so he had to confess:

"I have a few brothers in the county that I have played with since childhood. When I go to the county, I will occasionally have drinks and meals with them."

How can you eat and drink without spending money?

Tang Xiaojing was rough yet fine, he was also righteous, and he was quite popular. Ye Qingqing also knew that he had several friends in the county whom he had grown up with since childhood.

After they got married, Tang Xiaojing took Ye Qingqing to meet several friends who had grown up since childhood, and also received many wedding gifts.

But Ye Qingqing thought that her father had 50 Wen as pocket money every month, and when he was working at the grocery store, the 50 Wen also included the cost of the donkey cart to town every day.

His father had enough pocket money of 50 yuan, so why wasn't it enough for him?

Ye Qingqing asked again: "You treat me every time I have dinner and drinks?"

"That's not true. The pocket money of only 50 Wen a month is not enough for one meal. We all take turns to treat each other."

"But things in the county are more expensive than in the town. A meal or a drink costs two months of pocket money." Tang Xiaojing looked at Ye Qingqing pitifully.

Ye Qingqing thought for a while. For a grown man, the pocket money of 50 Wen did not seem to be enough, so he had to increase his pocket money a little.

"Okay, I will give you an extra five cents of pocket money every month from now on, and an additional pocket money of 55 cents a month."

"It's too fussy, it only goes up by five cents." Tang Xiaojing muttered in a low voice.

But the voice was very low, and Ye Qingqing didn't dare to hear it, for fear that the five cents would be lost.

Qingqing ignored the mutterings of the people behind him, took out the account book for accounting, and wrote today's income and expenses on it with charcoal pen.

After remembering it, Ye Qingqing looked through the account book carefully. Seeing more and more money recorded in the account book, a bright smile broke out on Ye Qingqing's face.

According to the speed at which they are saving money, it seems that they will be able to buy a big house in the county soon.

Ye Qingqing closed the account book happily, and then reminded Tang Xiaojing not to spend money recklessly.

Tang Xiaojing joked desperately: "Madam, have you forgotten how you killed everyone in the county and on the dock? I was even afraid that you would buy the whole street."

Then Tang Xiaojing was beaten by Ye Qingqing.

On the other side of the Ye family, Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye were also discussing the family's savings.

Mr. Ye looked at Mrs. Ye, who had been with him for most of his life, and asked gently:

"Now there are 513 taels of silver in the public account. With this much money, do you want to buy some more family property?"

Naturally, the more wealth the better, but Mrs. Ye shook her head.

"My family already has a lot of property. If we add more, it will be too eye-catching. If our family is too high-profile, it will be easy for others to miss it."

"My family already has a lot of property. Before I find a backer, it's better to keep a low profile and protect the property well."

Speaking of this, Mr. Ye fell silent. It seemed that the family needed to find a scholar soon.

Mrs. Ye looked at Mr. Ye's half-white hair and continued:

"Now that we are getting older, the family has been taken care of by the younger generation. The harvest and embroidery are still more youthful. It would be better to have more money in the account."

Mr. Ye nodded, "What you said makes sense. Although the past few years have been good, we don't know what will happen in the future. It is safer to keep more money."

"When Xiaoqi is older, he will be sent to a school in the town."

Mrs. Ye has no objection to this matter. This has been discussed long ago.

Mrs. Ye thought for a while and couldn't help but said to Mr. Ye:

"We have 513 taels of silver at home, which is quite a lot. How about we use 100 taels of silver to give the juniors some practice? Let them practice."

After excluding the 100 taels of silver, there are still 413 taels of silver in Gongzhong's account. Many people will never be able to save so much silver in their lifetime.

As long as they don't act like monsters and live a down-to-earth life, the money will be enough for their family for decades.

Mr. Ye very much agreed, "With us at the front, the juniors have been going smoothly and have not experienced any setbacks. They should also practice and practice, otherwise they will not grow up."

"Just as you said, take out 100 taels of silver, and call everyone over tomorrow night, and we will discuss how to use the silver."

Mrs. Ye smiled generously and said: "We don't want to interfere with this. Let them do whatever they want with the 100 taels of silver."

"We won't interfere, but we still have to hammer it out, and we can't just let the money float away."
