Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 283 Weighing

All in all, this number has exceeded expectations.

An Yue took the scale to the yard and said to everyone, "We will start weighing now. Everyone sit down and wait. After the weighing, we will settle the money one by one."

Everyone nodded happily and said, "Okay!"

At this time, the village chief Li Huairen walked into the yard.

An Yue ran over and took the village chief's arm, smiling and saying, "Hehe, Uncle is here just in time, can you help Yueyue to weigh herself?"

The village chief looked at the people in the yard, then looked at the backpack on the ground, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay."

"Then let's start weighing now!" An Yue said, and directed Da Niu A'er to lift the scale rope with a carrying pole.

The first one was Qin's backpack. Daniu and Ale lifted the scale rope with a shoulder pole. The village chief controlled the scale and read the number: "The first backpack weighs 16 jin."

After weighing, Daniu poured the herbs in the basket under the eaves, and then weighed the empty basket.

"The backpack weighs two kilograms, and the net weight of the herbs is fourteen kilograms." An Yue wrote them down one by one on the paper.

Qin, who was sitting next to them, had a look of surprise on her face and was very excited.

Then he passed Wang Ke'er's backpack, following the same steps. The village chief read out, "The second backpack has eight kilograms of herbs."

The village chief read out the number of Wang Hu's wife Yao's backpack: "The third backpack has a net weight of 16 catties."

The fourth and fifth baskets were for Wang Zhengmin and his son Wang Hu. The village chief read out: "The fourth basket of herbs weighs 14 kilograms."

"The fifth backpack weighs twenty-six kilograms."

After weighing everyone's backpacks, An Yue removed the weight of the backpacks and recorded it, then began to calculate the money that should be paid to them.

An Yue called Qin and said, "Aunt, the herbs you dug weigh fourteen catties, and the purchase price is three cents per catty, which is forty-two cents."

After An Yue finished speaking, she counted out forty-two coins and gave them to Qin.

Qin held the silver in both hands, feeling very excited. She looked at the silver in her hands, laughed and said, "Oh, my dear, I never thought that one day I would not have to go out to work and could earn money in the village!"

Village chief Li Huairen looked at Qin's happy smile and he also laughed.

He smiled with wrinkles all over his face, and said in a long voice: "Not bad, not bad, it seems that I will also follow you to dig herbs in the future~!"

Qin rolled her eyes at her husband Li Huairen and said in a displeased tone, "Humph! Didn't you say that I value money over my life?"

The village chief winked at Qin and whispered, "Give me some face, there are so many people here!"

In front of the village chief, Qin was now a proud little woman. She smiled smugly and began to count the copper coins in her hand.

An Yue saw how happy Qin was, but couldn't help but remind her: "Aunt, it's good to make money, but you must not work too hard, otherwise Yueyue won't dare to collect the herbs you dig in the future!"

Qin smiled and responded, "Yes, yes, Yue is right!" After that, she put all the copper coins into her cloth bag.

An Yue continued, "This second backpack is Ke'er's."

Wang Ke'er, who was sitting next to An Yue, looked at An Yue with curiosity as she counted the money for her.

"The herbs that Ke'er dug weighed eight catties, which is twenty-four coins."

After An Yue finished speaking, she counted the twenty-four copper coins and handed them to Wang Keer.

Wang Ke'er quickly reached out to take the copper coin that An Yue handed to her, held it in both hands to weigh it, and said happily: "Yueyue, digging herbs is really great, it can earn much more than embroidering handkerchiefs!"

An Yue turned her head over, gently touched Wang Ke'er's head, smiled sweetly and said, "Then Ke'er should dig more in the future and earn more."

Wang Keer smiled and nodded.

Then An Yue continued to count the third backpack.

After the third basket was counted, he said, "The herbs my sister-in-law dug weighed sixteen catties, forty-eight coins."

Yao walked forward shyly, took the money handed to her by An Yue, and said softly, "Thank you, Yueyue."

After Yao took the silver and money, she returned to Wang Hu's side.

Then start counting the fourth backpack.

After counting the money, An Yue said to Wang Zhengmin, "The fourth basket contains the herbs that uncle dug. It weighs 14 catties and costs 42 coins."

After counting the forty-two copper coins and handing them over to Wang Zhengmin, An Yue smiled and said, "Uncle, check to see if the number is correct."

Wang Zhengmin laughed and said, "Haha... logarithmic, logarithmic."

An Yue was counting the silver in the last basket.

"The last basket contains the herbs dug by Brother Hu. It weighs 26 jin, which is a full 78 coins!"

Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

An Yue counted the money and handed it to Wang Hu. Wang Hu smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits and said, "Not bad, not bad."

Wang Ke'er looked at Wang Hu and asked in confusion, "Brother, how come you have so much more?"

Qin, who was standing nearby, analyzed with a smile: "I think your sister-in-law helped dig it."

Wang Hu's wife Yao replied softly, "Aunt, I didn't dig much."

Wang Ke'er tiptoed to Wang Hu's side and looked at the silver and money in Wang Hu's hand with envy.

Wang Hu saw through Wang Ke'er's thoughts at a glance, so he smiled wickedly at Wang Ke'er and said, "Little sister, you are still young, why don't you give all the money in your hands to me to keep for you, how about it?"

Wang Ke'er watched her elder brother Wang Hu walking towards her, and she hurriedly put the twenty-four copper coins into her purse.

Then she ran to hide behind her father Wang Zhengmin and pouted at Wang Hu, "No way! Humph! You have lied to me so many times since I was a child! Bad brother!"

Wang Zhengmin smiled and pretended to be displeased, "You two brothers and sisters are already grown up, and you are still fighting. How can this be allowed!"

Wang Ke'er hid behind Wang Zhengmin and said, "Dad, it's my brother who is trying to steal my money again." After saying that, she stuck out her tongue at Wang Hu.

The brother and sister's behavior caused everyone in the yard to burst into laughter.

Seeing everyone's smiles fade away, the village chief Li Huairen stood up and asked everyone loudly: "How do you feel about digging herbs?"

Wang Zhengmin raised his hand and said with a smile: "This job is great! Both adults and children can earn money, not bad, not bad."

Wang Hu also stepped forward and said with a smile: "This is our first time digging herbs. I didn't expect to earn so much money. As we become more familiar with herbs and dig faster, won't we earn more money?"

An Yue replied: "Of course. But, as I said before, 'Digging herbs is a delicate job. You must not make mistakes, otherwise it will cause big problems.'"

"Yes, yes, Yueyue is right! There is no harvest in our fields now. Yueyue has worked hard to find a job that can earn money for everyone. We can't mess it up ourselves."
