This is the reason why the Mu family has been unable to accumulate money - Mu Shi is too affectionate, and the others are too lacking in fighting spirit.

Liu He, the patriarch of the Liu family, once regretted that Mu Shi was too attached to his family, otherwise he would definitely be able to achieve a great career, because he is capable of both EQ and IQ, but he does not want to leave his wife and children to venture out.

Mu Shi's father had accumulated a lot of money for him. Although he lost a lot of money in a random accident more than ten years ago, Mu Shi has lived a life of four or five years, when one person feeds the whole family without worrying about it. According to Liu He's private calculations, Mu Shi can save at least one hundred taels of silver a year.

As a result, after marrying a daughter-in-law, the days are not getting better, but getting worse.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about Shu Wanniang's identity. She is the second daughter of the Shu family, and the Shu family can be regarded as a small family in Jingzhao Mansion. It has been handed down for two or three hundred years. It has not been very powerful, but it has always been strong. Rooted in the land of Jingzhao Mansion, it is decades longer than the history of this dynasty.

Shu Wanniang's father's family is considered a side branch, but the family background is not bad, not worse than the direct branch, but unfortunately the background is a bit worse, so when the court fled south, he was left behind and suffered from chaos.

After all, Jingzhao Mansion is the home of the Shu family. If the Hu people were more polite to them, maybe they would think about the imperial court in their hearts, how to live or how to live, but in less than ten years, Shu who was left behind Half of the family business was tossed away by the barbarians.

Father Shu immediately contacted Yuan Jiajun who was stationed at the border at that time, and was willing to donate half of his family property in order to protect him from fleeing south.

Of course, the upright and brave Yuan Jiajun did not ask for money from the Shu family, and was willing to escort them into the border of the Great Zhou for free.

Shu Wanniang encountered bandits when she fled south to Kitchen Mountain. In the chaos, she was pushed out of a carriage and robbed by bandits.

At that time, Mu Shi was alone, full of courage, and lived in the mountains for a long time. As a result, he was hunting, but was scared away by the bandits who rushed in. When he looked again, he found Shu Wanniang, who was being dragged by the bandits.

At that time, Shu Wanniang was just a young girl, and she was lucky not to faint. She was about to commit suicide when she had the opportunity, but was caught by the bandits and tortured on the spot. Mu Shi was an upright and kind-hearted young man. You can't just watch, so the hero saves the beauty.

Mu Shi rescued Shu Wanniang, and only stayed at the bottom of the mountain for one night before taking her to find her family, but the Shu family upheld the rules of etiquette, so of course it is impossible to have a daughter who was robbed by bandits, Mu Shi was furious Shu Wanniang was taken away immediately.

Shu Wanniang was sad for a year, and almost died on the sick bed. In that year, Mu Shi's savings were almost exhausted.

Mu Yangling had heard Shu Wanniang apologize more than once, saying that if she hadn't been sick at that time, she wouldn't have been so delicate and would not have made her children's life so sad now.

Of course, every time at this time Mu Shi would hold her hand and say softly: "It's all worth it."

Then Mu Yangling was going to take his brother back to their room, leaving space for the couple.

Shu Wanniang is the lady of the family, so their family's living standard has always been far higher than that of the villagers. They don't know how to eat bran, and they don't know how to eat coarse grains that make their throats worse. I haven't been able to save much money, let alone Shu Wanniang needs to take medicine for three or four months a year.

And Mu Shi, who was very profitable in the past, was not willing to leave his wife and children for too long. After marrying a wife and having children, the farthest place Mu Shi went to was Mingshui County, which caused his earnings to drop sharply, let alone saving money Here comes the money.

Mu Yangling is pregnant, and she has consciously kicked or rolled in her mother's stomach since she was six months old. In addition to her intelligent performance since birth, she has always played a very important role in the family. She is willing to persuade her father to go out to earn more money to support the family, maybe her parents will consider her opinion, but she is also a person who prefers to live a comfortable life.

She felt that her family had food, food, clothing, and housing. This was a troubled world, and there was nothing more important than saving her life.

Therefore, she also disapproved of her father taking risks. Once there was a trouble, the family would nest together and not go anywhere, and Mu Shi would be more happy to watch over his wife and children.

It's the same now, once Mu Yangling heard that the mountains and forests have changed, he didn't agree with his father to go to the deep mountains again, and he planned to take the four uncles for a walk outside, anyway, there are more rabbits this year , Don’t worry about missing prey.

If you are about to meet an ambitious person who plans to kill a black bear or a female worm, you will have no worries for three years.

You must know that these two things are valuable from head to toe, from skin to blood.

Shu Wanniang and Mu Yangling breathed a sigh of relief when their father agreed, Mu Yangling waved and said, "Father, don't worry, I'll buy more millet when I go to town today, and I'll buy some new rice with the villagers later. Enough to eat for next summer, so we don’t have to worry about it. If the food price rises, it will rise. It has nothing to do with us. We have a vegetable garden at home, and meat is easier. It’s enough to buy some blood-enriching things for my mother. .”

"Okay," Mu Shi helped his wife into the house, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself, and you can raise your baby with peace of mind. I will go to the mountain tomorrow to have a look. If there are few prey, I will not go." Once the county seat is established, just take care of the business in the town."

Mu Shi comforted his wife, and then he pulled out the cart and put the wild boar on it, and tied the cages containing the little fox and white rabbit to the cart, and said to his daughter: "Put those things of yours on the cart, too. I'll put it down for you."

Mu Yangling felt relieved that he didn't have to carry it by himself, and hurriedly put the things away.

Mu Shi pushed the cart and walked in front, and Mu Yangling followed behind his father.

Mu Yangling counted the money he earned recently with his fingers, and asked, "Father, can our family save fifty taels of silver after this trip?"

Mu Shi calculated in his mind, shook his head and said, "It's difficult to estimate. The prices of wild boars and rabbits are certain, but I don't know how much this fiery red fox can sell." I've seen people sell it, and people bought it for ten taels of silver, and it's just for playing with young masters and young ladies, but our Mingshui County is too small."

"There is a magistrate in Xingzhou Prefecture, of course he is big," Mu Yangling pointed his fingers and said, "If you can't sell it for ten taels of silver, you can always do it for five taels, right?"

Mu Shi glanced at his daughter, broke her illusion, and said, "Impossible, it's already skyrocketing to sell for four taels of silver."

Mu Yangling pouted, "Xingzhou Prefecture is not far from the county seat. It only takes a day to walk, but if you ride a horse, you will be there in a short time."

Mu Shi laughed loudly, "But how many people in this world can afford to ride a horse? Come on, don't be sad, Dad thinks there is nothing wrong with it, we can't let us do all the good things, and we have to give Others take a sip of soup."

Mu Yangling was bored for a while, then became happy again, and asked, "Father, do you blame us for dragging you down? If the big cousin and the others knew that they could earn six taels more by walking for an extra day, they would definitely be willing .”

You must know that earning four taels of silver a year in the countryside is already pretty good, let alone six taels?

With a clear heart, Mu Shi smiled and said to his daughter: "Silly boy, it's good that you don't dislike your father's worthlessness. I think our family is very good like this. Why should you envy those? Money can always be earned." After all, he I just don't want to be too far away from my wife and children, let alone worry about them.
