Chapter 96: Missing Three Taels of Silver

  It took Mo Shi a good half day to come back to his senses. He turned his head and looked at Gui Hua, "Where did you get this silver from?"

  Osmanthus shrugged, made a nonchalant expression, and then recounted the events of how she obtained the silver during the day. With an excited gaze at Madam Mo, she asked: "Mother, looking at this silver, I think there's more than what we gave to Grandma. Will our silver be worth more than those two?"

  This time, the osmanthus is really not intentionally selling Meng. As for the silver and money ratio of this era, she really has no idea at all.

  In Chu's family economic situation, Guihua has been here for so long and the most silver money she has seen is only about 100 Wen of private house money hidden by Mo.

  As for silver and other things, Guihua really saw them for the first time today.

  If it weren't for knowing from TV and books that silver is more valuable than copper coins, Osmanthus might not have taken these small pieces of silver seriously!

  Although Mrs. Mo didn't approve of the way the child was being deceitful, she also understood that Guihua's intentions were good for the family. Otherwise, given her mother-in-law's personality, even if they agreed to separate, it would be difficult to get much silver from her.

  Can you still live a life without money?

  In special circumstances, Mo Shi also acquiesced in Gui Hua's behavior, but still couldn't help but remind her: "Gui Hua, don't do this kind of thing again in the future. As a girl, your reputation is especially important. If today's matter gets out, your reputation will be ruined, do you understand?"

  Looking at Mo's extremely serious face, Gui Hua couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

  Yes, let alone in this feudal era, even in the open social atmosphere of the previous life, once someone was tainted with the reputation of cheating or stealing, it would be difficult to clear their name.

  This time I was too anxious to make money for my family, but ignored these things, which is really not right.

  Knowing she was wrong and also understanding that Mo's words were truly for her own good, Gui Hua's attitude in admitting her mistake was naturally very sincere.

  It's just that after being sincere, she smiled and said: "Today's matter is only known to brother and mother, you won't say it, others won't know. Others can't learn from this example, they can't learn from this example!"

  Mo's family also had no choice but to look at her daughter's attitude and decided to turn the page.

  "Girl, hurry up and count this money! How much silver is it exactly? Can you compare it to the amount we gave to grandma?" Guihua was worried about how much money she had made in total, and kept urging Moshi to count the money.

  Chu Yan Nian's speed and reaction were quite fast, before Mo Shi could even count out the silver coins, he already had an answer. "There are a total of seven taels here, whereas the two five-tael silver ingots we gave to Grandma this morning add up to more than these loose silver coins."

  Osmanthus had guessed that these silver fragments were one or two taels each, while the ones given to Xu's family were whole silver ingots of five taels, but in her heart she was unwilling to admit this fact.

  When Chu Yan said the correct answer, Gui Hua's heart was really in great pain.

  Inside and out, he had to be three or four ounces of silver less than Xu Shi.

  That's three or four ounces of silver! How much can you buy with that?!

  The osmanthus flower in her heart couldn't stop wailing, and her small face looked very gloomy.
