Chapter 2714: Got Rich!
opkeeper for two sets of writing utensils.Then, she inquired with the shopkeeper about paper again.“I want that kind of paper that has been coated, and the paper can be a little bit more durable.”She...“If you really want to experience it, that’s the worldly problem. Pigs take a long time to raise. A piglet caught at the beginning of the year is killed at the end of the year. That’s definitely not something that grows back.” she said.

"With a snap of her fingers, Da Sun said, “I understand now. Next time someone asks me for experience, I’ll just say, at the very least, you need to cultivate for a year and a half.”
Yang Ruqing smiled with delight, “You’re right!”
Here, Old Mrs. Sun asked her eldest granddaughter, "With so many people around today, it wasn't a good time to ask. How much did you sell the piglet for"
>The eldest granddaughter said, “Mother, guess what”
"As an old woman, how could I possibly guess these things"
Tai Sun stretched out a finger and gestured.
Sun Lao Tai Dao: "One or two silver"
“A few taels of silver Then I’d rather not bother going to the county town,” Grand-aunt Sun said, rolling her eyes.
Mrs. Sun's eyes shrank, her voice trembling slightly as she asked again, "Ten taels"
Ten taels of silver, that's the price of three fat pigs!
"One hundred taels!" said Da Sun.
"Ah"
Old Mrs. Sun was so excited that her voice trembled as she spoke.
"How much A hundred taels I must have misheard," she asked.
"Hahaha, when I heard Qinger bargaining with them and saying one hundred taels, I thought I was dreaming!"
“It’s true, a full hundred taels, they even got me a silver note!”
"How much wealth did our family originally have" Grandma Sun asked again.
Dai Sun calculated and, with Yang Ruoqing and Sun Shi present, there was nothing to hide. She stated directly: “Over these years of raising pigs, we’ve accumulated fifty taels of silver. Adding this hundred taels, we now have one hundred and fifty taels.”

Sun Lao Tai was amazed to hear this.
“These days, things aren't too easy,” the old woman muttered,
"In the past, in Sunjiaogou village, if you could see two taels of silver for a whole year, you'd be grateful to heaven and earth." she said.
“That’s why I said it was the wisest decision to move out. You and your father weren’t too keen on it at first, were you Couldn't bear to leave those three rickety mud-brick houses in Sunjiagou!”
Old Sun had been happily smoking his pipe, when he heard what Da Suni said. The old man's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes widened at Da Suni.
“You can’t say it like that.” he said.
No matter how much money we make now, or how comfortable our lives are, we must not forget our roots, and we must not forget our poverty in the past.
“That’s where our roots are, your dad and I, and all of you sisters. That's where Da Jie and Xiao Jie were born,” Lao Sun said.

"We simply can't live here anymore, we have to get out! Never forget our roots, no matter what!" He urged once again.
Seeing the old man's serious expression, Da Sun knew that her words had been a bit hasty.
She didn't even care about her aching back and tired legs, quickly sitting up straight, changing the playful smile on her face into a respectful one. "Father is right," she said earnestly. "Rest assured, I will never forget your teachings."
Then Old Sun stopped, and started smoking a dry tobacco pipe.
Here, Old Madam Sun again asked the couple, "Now that we have this money, what are you planning to buy"
Then the couple exchanged glances, and Yang Ruohong's eldest uncle looked at Lao Sun, smiling and saying, "This has to be arranged by our father."
Old Sun took out his dry tobacco pipe and said, “These past two days I've been thinking about this matter. My plan is to have Big Jie and the daughter of Old Niu's family get engaged. We’ll say that they’ll get married next year in January."
I want to buy a piece of land on the other side of the main road, opposite Lao Sanjia's place, and build a courtyard house just like Lao Sanjia's, with two entrances.

"The daughter-in-law is about to enter the household, and in the future she will bear children and need a house."
“My wife and I are both getting on in years. We've lived here for many years now and are used to it. We don't want to move.”
"You all go live in the new house, that's it." Lao Sun said.
Both Da Sun and her husband were stunned. Da Sun hurriedly asked, "Father, are you and Mother going to live with us That way it would be more convenient to take care of you both. This way, wouldn't it look like we're splitting the family in disguise I won't allow it!"
Yang Ruqing's uncle also said, "If we stay, we stay together. If we leave, we leave together. We are a family after all!"
Seeing their daughter and son-in-law so filial, Lao Sun and Tai exchanged glances. Both were filled with heartfelt contentment.

Then Old Sun continued, "You are all filial children. Your mother and I know that in our hearts."
"You guys can just move into the new house and keep Big Jack and his wife company. In the future, you can help them raise their children."
“We're both getting older, but we can still run and walk, and manage our lives.”

Besides, the pig farm is right here. We need someone to look after it, and with me and your mother staying, that's taken care of.
"No, I don't feel safe if you aren't under my nose."
Old Madam Sun smiled: "You silly child, what's there to worry about"
"We're only separated by a road; if we shout, they can hear us on the other side."
Besides, your sister's house is right next door. My house and your father's are in the middle of you two sisters. Isn't that great We'll all be so lucky!
"But, Mother..."
“Alright, just listen to me and your father. That settles it.” Grandma Sun hammered the final nail in the coffin.
"Strike while the iron is hot. When you go back tonight, bring some gifts and visit a few elder statesmen in the village. Talk to them about the land allocation issue. After all, we are outsiders. When building a house here, it's necessary to pay respects to them first. It's only proper." Grandma Sun reminded again.
The elderly couple looked at each other, knowing they couldn't go against Old Mrs. Sun this time. They would just have to let it go for now.
Once the house is built, we definitely need to prepare a place for the older couple.
At that time, just come over and bring the old couple's bedding and things, take the urinal and toilet for them, do they still not go
When everyone else had left, only Lao Sun and his wife were left in the house. Lao Sun looked at his lifelong companion, his face full of emotion.

"After all, I'm still not as capable as children. You've been with me for your whole life, from those greasy braids to this white hair now, I haven't let you have a decent meal of meat once. If I counted the money..." Old Sun sighed, shook his head, and wore a look of shame on his face.
Sun Lao Tai glared at Lao Sun Tou, and said, "At your age, you still say such saccharine things Aren't you afraid of getting too agitated"
Old Sun was taken aback for a moment, then grinned.
"These kids aren't around now, don't worry. As long as you, my wife, don't make fun of me, I'm fine." he said.

Grandmother Sun smirked and smiled.
“When I first gave birth to my eldest daughter, my body was weak. Seeing you come back from working in the fields, I would squat by the bed and change her diapers.”
"At that moment, I told myself, for the rest of my life, even if I had to gnaw through all the bark on every tree on this mountain, I would be with this man."
“No matter how capable he is, I'm convinced of one thing,”
“A man who can put aside his pride to serve his wife during her confinement period and change diapers for his daughter,”
“This man must definitely be a good husband who cares for his family. Following him, you won't go wrong!”
