C16 Snacks

After a while, The cabinet quickly said, "Young master, Miss Molly just brought the White Jade Sprouts here, but it's only three pounds. It's not enough."

Su Hsinghe said lightly, "There's nothing we can do about it. I don't think it's easy to get it. Otherwise, who won't do something that we can earn money?"

"She said it's less this time. She will send more next time."

"Yes."

"By the way, Young Master, Young Master Du is here. He is upstairs. Do you want to take a look?"

"Okay. Did he make things difficult for you?"

"I smashed something and hit the waiter. Fortunately, Miss Molly sent the White Jade Sprouts in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be terrible."

Su Hsinghe smiled and took a bottle of good wine and walked upstairs. It seemed that he would have another drink with him today.

Molly took the silver and said to Little Yuluo and the others, "What do you want to eat? Just say that big sister has silver today and can buy a lot for you."

Little Yuluo said with a smile, "Big sister, I want candied fruits, date mud cake, and meat buns."

Lotus Flower said, "You've already said it, I don't know what to say."

Molly smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll help you guys buy these."

She bought a few skewers of candied fruits, some meat buns, and date paste cakes. She also bought a few fish and a few pounds of meat.

It wasn't easy to come to town once. Therefore, Molly wanted to buy more so as to avoid running back and forth all the time.

When they arrived at the appointed place, they happened to see Shen Junfeng and the other two walking over. It seemed that they had already paid the rent. The three of them had a faint sadness on their faces.

Eh? What's going on?

"Little Uncle, have you paid the rent?"

Shen Junfeng nodded and said, "Yes."

"Why do you look unhappy?"

Hee Xiaowan said, "Because Old Master Du said that each household needs one or two silver taels of tax."

"Why do you need so much?" she asked. Isn't there already a rent? Why do you need to pay taxes?"

Shen Junfeng sighed and said, "I don't know. These rich people want to take more from us just because we have collected more rice this year."

Molly said fiercely, "It seems that this Du Shanren is really not good at all."

Mo Xiaoxiao said angrily, "He has never been a good person."

Molly suddenly remembered what happened just now and wanted to confirm it again. She asked, "Does Du Shanren have a son called Du Ziteng in his family?"

Mo Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Hee Xiaowan said, "It's not good for a girl like you to ask about a man."

Molly said, "No, I just met him when I was selling vegetables. I knew he was a playboy."

Little Yuluo said, "Yes, that person is very scary. When I saw his feet, I shivered."

Hee Xiaowan was shocked and quickly asked, "Did he be rude to you?"

Molly said, "I did not pay attention to him."

Little Yuluo said, "Sister is so powerful. She scolded him."

"Even the candied fruits can't stop your mouth."

Hee Xiaowan's eyes were filled with worry. This daughter was also her heart's flesh and blood. She could not tolerate the slightest bit of grievance and harm.

Molly asked, "Little uncle, what are you guys going to do now? Do you really want to give them money?"

Shen Junfeng sighed and said, "What else can we do? "We can't talk about them. They are very familiar with the yamen. If we cause trouble, we will become unruly people and we will not be able to live."

Molly said, "But if that is the case, they will definitely bully us even more. At that time, there will be more severe taxes."

Hee Xiaowan said, "Molly, you do not know how terrifying these rich people are. We cannot afford to offend them."

"I will go and reason with them."

"Silly child. Since they did this, they must be prepared. No matter how much you reason with them, it is useless. At most, our family will have half a year's worth of porridge."

"In this year's worth of rice, other than the food, the rest can only be sold for ten taels of silver. Other than the cost of farming in the next year, there were only a few taels of silver left. Now, he had to pay another two taels of silver. He was really unhappy.

One or two silver taels. To them, it was already a lot. They could eat fish for many days. They could give their families new clothes.

However, this thought had been snuffed out.

Molly could not help but think of Ye Sheng Tao's "Three to Five Fighting" that she had learned in elementary school. That feeling was exactly the same as now. The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared and the soap bubbles of hope were destroyed.

Molly could not do anything about it, even though she really wanted to talk about it. But looking at Shen Junfeng and Hee Xiaowan's attitude, they were used to it. This matter could only be slowly turned around. Taking a step back, spending one or two silver to buy peace was not bad.

Therefore, Molly still took out two taels of silver and gave it to Shen Junfeng, telling him to give it to the Du family so that he would not have to make another trip tomorrow.

Shen Junfeng took the silver and said, "Molly, this one tael of silver is what little uncle borrowed from you. I will return it to you when we return."

Molly said, "No need. You have helped our family so much. This one tael of silver is not comparable to this one tael of silver. Furthermore, we still need Little Uncle's help in the future."

Hee Xiaowan also said, "That's right. Little Uncle, just take it. Our two families have come to this day. What else is there? "

Shen Junfeng thought about it and said, "Then let's accept our love."

After that, he took the silver to the Du Residence and paid the taxes. The few of them walked back.

The two children sat on the cart. They did not have the worries of adults. One of them was holding a string of bright red candied fruits in his hand, which made him very happy.

"Mother, should we buy a string of candied fruits for Dabao as well?"

Shen Xiaotao's voice was heard. The Dabao she was talking about was her younger brother, Shen Dabao. This guy was not old and was five or six years old. However, he was super naughty and mischievous. Shen Mingtang and Tao Chunhua had inherited his lazy lifestyle.

Tao Chunhua glared at Molly and the rest and said, "A child eats so many snacks every day. He is not afraid of eating his stomach bad! Eating to death is good!"

Molly was unhappy and said, "That aunt, what are you saying? She could not bear to buy food for the child and was jealous of others. Humph, just because she can't eat grapes, she says that grapes are sour!"

Shen Junfeng's face also darkened. Mo Xiaoxiao was very angry. It seemed that she was trying her best to hold it in and was about to explode.

Tao Chunhua said, "I didn't say you are a girl. What is your name?"

"Tch, just be jealous and hate."

Molly said and took out a few steamed buns from the basket. She gave one to Shen Junfeng, Mo Xiaoxiao, Hee Xiaowan, and two children each. She also took a piece of dates cake and ate it.

Today, she earned three taels of silver and gave two taels of silver to the Du family. The remaining one or two taels of silver were used to buy fish meat and snacks. There were still a lot of copper coins left. The few taels of silver from before were still there. Molly wanted to buy some fabric for her family and make some new clothes to wear.
