《The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich》Chapter 49: How Shameless
Advertisement
The women had not seen such a shameless family. Just moments ago, Li Cuihua was scolding Lin Yuelan and praying that she'd be devoured by the wild beasts in the mountain. However, when they heard that the Jinx had carried back a big tiger, they said that the big tiger belonged to them because they had raised Lin Yuelan for nine years.
The women were amused by their shamelessness!
This big tiger was worth at least 300 taels of silver according to the price of the goods in the town.
This amount of money was a huge amount for the villagers. Even those with great harvests wouldn't earn that much in a year!
For the villagers, three taels of silver were enough to feed their entire family for half a year. How many years could 300 taels of silver feed a family?
It was no wonder that Lin Laosan and his family wanted to get their hands on this big tiger.
Technically speaking, Lin Laosan and his family, including his four sons and four daughters-in-law, had quite a lot of land. In addition, they also had jobs in town. Their monthly income was at least one tael of silver.
Li Cuihua was very stingy, so the family only spent three hundred wen every month. The remaining money was saved. With this, she could save at least seven taels of silver in a year. In ten years, she would have at least 70 taels of silver.
In the village, a man would not spend less than three taels of silver when he married a wife. This included the fees for the betrothal gifts, banquet, and other expenses.
However, Lin Laosan spent less than one tael of silver when he married Li Cuihua, while Lin Siniu spent two taels of silver when he married his wife. Lin Daniu and Lin Sanniu also spent around two taels of silver when they married their wives.

Therefore, Lin Laosan's family could be considered a relatively wealthy family in the village.
However, Lin Laosan's family had a young man who was studying to be a master scholar, Lin Dazong!
Lin Dazong's tuition, the fee for his paper and pens, as well as the clothing fee, was high. Furthermore, Lin Dazong was someone who was careless with his money. He would treat his friends to meals often. Therefore, the man burnt through his family's savings in less than two years.
Lin Dazong was about to come home, and he would definitely ask for money again. Lin Laosan and his family were worried. Where were they going to get the money?
However, at that moment, Lin Yuelan carried a big tiger back from the mountain.
When Lin Laosan heard the barking, he didn't want to care. After all, he had four sons. Any one of them could go and represent their family in the hunt. However, his eldest son suddenly burst into his home and told him that the jinx had carried a big tiger home. Instantly, Lin Laosan woke up!
This was good news!
How much was a big tiger worth?
He heard from the shopkeepers in the town that a tiger cub that weighed two to three hundred catties was worth at least two hundred taels of silver. So a big tiger would be worth more than that!
Naturally, Lin Laosan wouldn't let this money slip away from his fingers.
He immediately took the clothes from the bedside and put them on. Then, he walked out of the courtyard and said to his wife and his sons and daughters-in-law, "Let's go!" The family majestically headed to the hut where Lin Yuelan lived.
A few villagers followed behind them.
Since the dogs were not barking because of a live beast but a dead one, they didn't need to be afraid anymore. They were following Lin Laosan's family because they wanted to watch the show.

Lu Yanchen is a descendant of a powerful aristocratic military family. Cold, aloof, genius and sharp, this is a man that has it all – status, smarts and looks. But none of that matters when it comes to affairs involving his silly woman as everything melts away into an encompassing warmth.

But once the story gets on track… everything suddenly seemed even sweeter than before!
