Chapter 88 Compensation 2

   "Mother, there are too many." Liu Shi and Yao Shi retorted at the same time. Fifty taels for one family, one hundred taels for two families, which is equivalent to the output of 100 mu of land for two years.

   "Shut up for me." Qiao Shi glared.

   "Old sister-in-law, if we've made up our minds, we'll call someone in to discuss it," said the village chief.

   "Okay, let's call." Mr. Qiao nodded.

   The patriarch immediately got up and walked out when he saw this, and called in two men in charge from each of the two houses.

   After they sat down, the village chief said a few words of kindness and directly said the compensation.

   Of course, it was impossible for them to agree at the beginning, but after the cry of Liu Shi, Yao Shi and other women, they finally settled on a family of 60 taels of silver.

After the    was determined, the patriarch said: "There is also the matter of the boat. For your family's sake, it is not easy to pay off. It can be paid off in two years, thirty-two in one year, and settled at the end of the year."

   "What, a broken ship costs sixty taels of silver." Yao shi exclaimed.

   "That's a good mahogany boat, you can calculate how much it will cost for the wood." The patriarch said angrily.

   "Mother, just listen to the patriarch." Gu Chengzhi gave Yao Shi a look at this moment.

   He had seen that boat before. It was a medium-sized boat with at least four people rowing. The price was really not expensive.

"Woohoo, this day really can't pass." When Liu saw this, he knew that the patriarch was not guilty, and this time he cried sincerely.

   With such a large amount of money going out, if their family has no business to do, I am afraid it will take ten years to recover.

   Yao started to cry when she saw her cry, and Huang and other concubines and daughters immediately followed.

   "Okay, don't cry anymore, hurry up and get the money." The patriarch patted the table impatiently.

   Before letting them cry, it was because he wanted to save them some money, but now that it's settled, what's the use of crying again, it's better to take out the money quickly and let it go.

   "Sixty taels per room, hurry up and take it." Qiao shi said at this time.

   "Mother." Liu shi turned his head and shouted reluctantly, the old man also has money in his hand, why should they let them take it.

   "Hurry up." Joe sternly shouted.

  Yao knew that he couldn't escape and had to walk out slowly.

   And Liu looked at Gu Chengrui and said, "Young third, you know what's going on at home, and your husband and wife should have some points?"

   Before Gu Chengrui could speak, the patriarch and Mrs Qiao shouted at the same time, "Shut up."

   Of course, the reasons for the two of them to stop are different. The former is not accustomed to Liu's behavior and stands out for their little husband and wife.

  The latter is mostly out of face. At that time, the husband and wife were pure and clean. Now they are forced to take money, and their old face will really be lost.

   And Liu was taken aback by their repeated interruptions, so he had to go back to the house to get the money.

  Fortunately, the two of them were not stupid. They all took the money in parts and pieces, and even took out several strings of copper plates.

  Yao even took out the silver hairpin that he bought earlier and handed it over, giving people a feeling of exhaustion.

   Regardless of whether the people present believed it or not, the two parties felt a lot better after the fact that the patriarch repaid the money with grace just now, as well as the scattered silver they gave.

   As soon as they left, the people watching the fun gradually left, and the patriarch stood up and said, "Aunt, since it's a matter, then we'll leave, and we'll say hello in advance if we have anything to do in the future."

   "Okay, go back and wait for the two brothers to wake up before going to the door to thank you." Mr. Qiao got up and said, and then sent him and the village chief out.

   After seeing them off, Gu Chengrui went to see Father Gu and Uncle Gu. After confirming that their condition was stable, he asked Mrs Liu and the others to prepare millet porridge and go home.
