Chapter 93 - Ye Lulu Humblebragged
For some reason, although Ye Lulu was the one who came up with the idea, she was only a daughter-in-law of the Guan family. Furthermore, she was at home during her confinement period and had not left the city to sell food.
However, when Mother Rong and the rest returned and were about to check and see how much money they had earned today, they could not help but enter her house, implying that they wanted to calculate with her.
The rest of the Guan family did not feel that anything was wrong.
Moreover, they couldn't help but enter Ye Lulu's house naturally.
The family gathered together.
Fortunately, the children from the Guan family had already fallen asleep.
Ye Lulu was dressed neatly and her body was well-nourished. There was no wind in the house, so she did not mind that everyone had entered. Hence, everyone in the house, including Mother Rong and Ye Lulu, started to count the money excitedly.
Mother Rong turned the money basket upside down on the table.
It was all copper coins. Only a small piece was silver. It was the money that the crew had paid for everyone. "Ten copper coins… twenty copper coins… thirty copper coins… thirty-nine, forty, forty-one…"
Under the gaze of the entire family, Mother Rong counted them one by one. The more she counted, the more excited she became. "Ninety-seven copper coins, ninety-eight copper coins…"
"One hundred and nine, one hundred and eleven copper coins…" Mother Rong's voice was already trembling.
"One hundred and eleven copper coins!"
Mother Rong cried out in disbelief. Her entire body trembled and her voice cracked!
"Including this piece of silver, I remember that it was worth at least two hundred and twenty-six copper coins. One hundred and eleven copper coins. Add two hundred and twenty-six copper coins. Wait, that's equivalent to…"
As Mother Rong murmured, Ye Lulu said, "Three hundred and thirty-seven copper coins. If this silver is worth more, we can count it as three hundred and forty copper coins."
The Guan family looked at her in surprise. Guan Chibei's eyes flickered. No one had expected Lulu's math to be so… good? She did not seem to find it difficult to calculate this at all.
"Three hundred and forty copper coins!" Mother Rong cried out.
The entire Guan family gasped.
The room was filled with shock.
Hiss…
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't believe that they had earned a total of three hundred and forty copper coins from doing business today!
Three hundred and forty copper coins! To the poor villagers, this was a huge sum of money. They could actually earn it in a day!
It was unbelievable. Apart from Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu, the Guan family was stunned!
The money they earned today was equivalent to what all the men in the Guan family would have earned after nine days of manual labor in the docks.
They had earned it in a day.
Although they had long expected to earn money by setting up a stall today, they did not expect to earn more than three hundred copper coins.
The villagers didn't even earn more than three hundred copper coins a month when they went to the city to do odd jobs.
This was true for most families in Yunwu Village.
However, today, their Guan family had earned more than three hundred copper coins!
!!!
The Guan family's souls seemed to have left their bodies. They were all stunned.
If news of this were to spread in the village, no one would believe it…
The problem was that Ye Lulu was still saying, "It's our first day doing business today, so we have to see the situation. I'm worried, but I'm just giving it a try. Therefore, we prepared fewer ingredients and didn't sell much. We don't earn much money either. When we're more experienced in the future and prepare more ingredients, we'll sell more."
They didn't earn much money…
