The women had never seen such a shameless family. A moment ago, Li Cuihua scolded Lin Yuelan and prayed that she would be eaten by the ferocious beasts in the mountain. However, when they heard that Jinx had brought back a big tiger, they said that the big tiger was theirs because they had raised Lin Yuelan for nine years.
The women were amused by their helplessness!
This huge tiger was worth at least 300 taels of silver according to the price of the goods in the city.
This amount of money was a huge sum for the villagers. Even those who harvest big will not produce that much in a year!
For the villagers, three taels of silver was enough to feed their entire family for half a year. How many years can 300 taels of silver feed one family?
No wonder Lin Laosan and his family wanted to obtain this huge tiger.
Technically, Lin Laosan and his family, including his four sons and four sons-in-law, owned a considerable amount of land. They also have a job in town. Their monthly income was at least one tael of silver.
Li Cuihua was very stingy, so her family only spent three hundred wen each month. The remaining money is saved. With this, he could save at least seven taels of silver in a year. In ten years, he 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 includes fees for engagement gifts, banquets, and other expenses.
However, Lin Laosan spent less than a tael of silver while marrying Li Cuihua, while Lin Siniu spent two taels of silver while marrying his wife. Lin Daniu and Lin Sanniu also spent about two taels of silver when they married their wives.
Therefore, the Lin Laosan family could be considered a relatively wealthy family in the village.
However, the Lin Laosan family had a young man who was studying to become a master scholar, Lin Dazong!
Lin Dazong was about to go home, and he would definitely ask for money again. Lin Laosan and his family were worried. Where will they get the money?
However, at that moment, Lin Yuelan brought a huge tiger back from the mountain.
When Lin Laosan heard the barking, he did not want to care. After all, he had four sons. One of them could go and represent their family in the hunt. However, his eldest son suddenly stormed into his house and told him that the curse had brought home a great tiger. Instantly, Lin Laosan woke up!
This is good news!
How much is a tiger worth?
He heard from the shopkeeper in the city that a tiger cub weighing 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 would not let this money slip 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 son and daughter-in-law, “Let's go!” The family gracefully headed to the hut where Lin Yuelan lived.
Some villagers followed behind them.
Since the dogs did not bark because of the living animals but the dead, they had nothing to fear anymore. They followed Lin Laosan's family because they wanted to watch the show.
