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

"Shut up." Qiao Shili stared.

"Old sister-in-law, if you have made up your mind, then we will call someone in to discuss it." The village head said.

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

Seeing this, the patriarch immediately got up and walked out, and called two men in charge from the two families.

After they sat down, the village head spoke politely and said about the compensation directly.

Of course, it was impossible to agree to it from the very beginning, but under the cries of Liu Shi, Yao Shi and other women, it was finally settled at 60 taels of silver for the family.

After confirming it, the patriarch said: "There is also the matter of the boat. For the sake of your family, it is not easy. You can pay it off in two years, thirty taels a year, and settle the account at the end of the year."

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

"That's a good mahogany boat. You can figure out how much it costs for the wood alone." The patriarch said angrily.

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

He had seen that boat before, it was a medium-sized boat rowed by at least four people, the price was really not expensive.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooacoo

With such a large amount of money going out, if their family has no business to do, they may have to wait ten years before they can recover.

Seeing her cry, Yao shi started to cry too, and Huang shi and several other concubines and daughters immediately started to cry too.

"Okay, don't cry, hurry up and get the money." Seeing this, the patriarch patted the table impatiently and said.

He made them cry before because he also wanted to save them some money, but now that it's settled, there's no use crying anymore, it's better to quickly take out the money and settle the matter.

"Sixty taels per room, take it quickly." Qiao said at this moment.

"Mother." Mrs. Liu turned her head and shouted with reluctance, the old man also had money in his hand, so why not let them take it.

"Hurry up." Joe shouted with a straight face.

Yao shi knew he couldn't hide, so he walked out slowly.

And Mrs. Liu looked at Gu Chengrui and said, "Third brother, you know what's going on at home, so you and your husband can make a difference, right?"

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

Of course, the reasons for the two to stop are different. The former is not used to Liu's behavior, and stood up for their young couple.

The latter is mostly out of face. At that time, the husband and wife had left the house completely. Now if they are forced to take the money, their old face will be really lost.

But Mrs. Liu was taken aback by their repeated blocking, so she had no choice but to go back to the house to get the money honestly.

Fortunately, the two of them were not stupid, they took all the coins in small pieces, and even brought out several strings of copper plates.

Yao shi even took out the silver hairpin that he bought earlier and handed it over, giving people the feeling of being at the end of their rope.

Regardless of whether the people present believed it or not, but with the fact that the patriarch gave him the grace to pay back the money just now, and the scattered money they gave, the two parties felt much better.

As soon as they left, the spectators also gradually left, and the patriarch stood up directly and said, "Auntie, since it's over, let's leave, and let's say hello in advance if there is anything to do in the future."

"Okay, let's go to the door to thank the two brothers after they wake up." Qiao stood up and sent him and the village chief out.

After Gu Chengrui sent them away, he went to see Father Gu and Uncle Gu, and after confirming that their condition had stabilized, he asked Mrs. Liu to prepare millet porridge and went home.
