Chapter 590 Family Meeting
Just after dinner, Mrs. Ye called the whole family into the house.
There are 10 silver ingots worth 10 taels on the table in the room, totaling 100 taels of silver.
As soon as the brothers Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin entered, they immediately saw the shining silver ingot, which was specially made next to the silver.
Then one person was kicked by Father Ye, "No matter how big or small, is this where you sit?"
Then he pulled the brothers apart and pulled Ye Mu to sit down.
The brothers curled their lips, but did not dare to say anything, so they sat down obediently.
Mr. Ye on the side couldn't stand it and glared at Father Ye, "You are already a grandpa, but you are still so childish."
"That's right, dad is more naive than Xilin."
Wang Chunyu on the side pulled Ye Donglin's sleeve and asked him to say less.
"You fat man, who are you calling naive?" Ye Xilin was unhappy.
The two brothers quarreled again, and Father Ye was still gloating and adding fuel to the fire.
Mrs. Ye glanced at the three childish people and said, "Shut up and calm down."
The three people who were still noisy immediately became quiet.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Mrs. Ye continued:
"The public now has more than 500 taels of silver in deposit, and there is a lot of money in the account. I discussed it with the old man and took out 100 taels of silver."
"Let's discuss whether this 100 taels of silver should be used to buy property or do some small business."
Ye Xilin was very positive. As soon as Mrs. Ye finished speaking, she said excitedly:
"Now there are fields in the village for sale. Why don't we buy more fields and hills? Purchasing fields is the safest option."
In the past few years, every household in the village has reclaimed a lot of barren hills and wasteland. With more fields, it is natural for them to sell food.
Ye Xilin stays in the village every day and knows best which family in Taohua Village has land for sale.
Then he said: "It just so happened that two families were planning to sell their fields recently, and another family was planning to sell their hills."
Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye did not express any opinions, but just looked at the others present.
Not to be outdone, Ye Donglin quickly expressed his thoughts.
"Our family now has 43 acres of paddy fields, plus more than ten acres of mountainous land, and two hills. If we buy more land, we won't be able to take care of it."
Father Ye and Ye Donglin do small business, while Ye Xilin raises pigs and rabbits. The female family members generally do not go to the fields, and the fields and hills of the family are all burdened by Mr. Ye.
Even if there are permanent workers at home to help with the work, it is still too hard for Mr. Ye.
"I think you can buy an extra house or shop in the town to collect rent. You don't have to take care of it. You can get an income every month. If you are short of money, you can sell it quickly."
Ye Xilin thought about what Ye Donglin just said, and it seemed to make sense. His grandfather was old and could not take care of too many fields.
But when I turned around and thought, there was still him.
"Now that someone is helping to weed the pigs, I have more time and can take care of the fields at home with my grandpa." Ye Xilin said softly.
After Ye Donglin finished speaking, Father Ye and Mother Ye whispered a few words, and then Father Ye said:
"What Dong Lin said makes sense. We already have enough farmland. If we buy more, we won't be able to take care of it. As for Xilin, the rabbit shed and the pigs at home cannot live without you."
"There is another more important reason. If you shoot first, you will be targeted easily. There are too many fields at home."
Because barren hills and land are cheap, many well-off families in the village have bought dozens of acres of barren hills or land for reclamation.
The Ye family's dozens of acres of paddy fields and two hills are not eye-catching, but if they buy too much, they will easily be targeted by interested people.
Father Ye suggested: "Buying a house or a shop to collect rent is indeed a good idea, but eggs cannot be put in just one basket."
"Our family already has two houses and a shop in the town. In fact, we can buy a house in the county."
Although no one told the outside world about the shops and houses in the town, people from the dental industry and the government knew about them. If they were interested in asking, someone would know about them sooner or later.
The county is relatively far away, and no one knows them. No one will notice them when they buy a house there.
Ye Donglin looked at Father Ye in confusion, "But with only 100 taels of silver, you can't buy a shop or a house in the county, right?"
Ye Xilin felt that what Ye's father said made sense and suggested, "How about each of us contribute a few dozen taels of silver and we can all chip in?"
Father Ye smiled and then said: "Your mother and I have saved a lot of money over the years. We plan to use 150 taels, plus the 100 taels from the father-in-law, which should be enough to buy a house in the county."
"Our family is now considered a small landowner, but without a strong backer, we are like a fat piece of meat, easily targeted by others."
At this point, Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin were silent. They had only been thinking about making money before and had not considered this issue at all.
"I want to buy a house near the county academy. If there is a child in the family who is talented in reading, I will send him to the county to study."
"I don't ask him to become a scholar in high school or become a high official. It's enough to be admitted as a scholar. This way he can support his family and exempt his family from taxes."
Jiang is still old and spicy, and Ye's father always lives about ten years longer than the two brothers, so he thinks about things more carefully.
Father Ye's words directly touched the hearts of the old couple, and they were very satisfied with Father Ye's proposal.
The academies in the county are definitely better than those in the town. If you can study in the academies in the county, the effect will definitely be better.
The old couple had an idea in their minds, but they didn't say anything.
Old Mrs. Ye asked again, Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu who had been silent.
Ye's mother had just discussed with Ye's father, and naturally she had the same opinion as Ye's father, and wanted to buy a house near the county academy.
As a mother, Wang Chunyu naturally wants her children to be successful in the future.
She grew up in a village near the county and knew what the academies in the county were like. The collection of books and teachers there were better than those in the town academies.
If my children can go to the county academy to study in the future, maybe they will be able to come back as a scholar.
Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye had agreed not to interfere before, so they did not express their opinions, but let Father Ye and the others discuss it themselves.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to buy a small house near the academy in the county.
Originally, Ye's father planned to pay out 150 taels of silver himself, but Ye Donglin and Ye Xilin felt that they could not let Ye's father pay out the money himself.
So it was changed to the father giving 100 taels of silver, and the father and son each giving 50 taels, for a total of 250 taels.
But it was almost summer harvest now, and Father Ye decided to wait until after summer harvest before going to the county to look at houses.
Father Ye guessed that the Tang family had saved a lot of money, and was going to ask Ye Qingqing if they wanted to go to the county to look at a house together.
The two families have a good relationship, so it would be best if they could buy them together.
