My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire! Chapter 63 - Accounting

Chapter 63: Accounting

Gu Xin ran home in a panic, scaring the transmigrator trio. They thought that the girl was being bullied outside!....
In the end, after hearing what Gu Xin said, they didn’t know how to open their mouths.
In the end, it was Gu Shouxin who went to the house and took out the money bag. He said, “Xin Xin, this is the banknote that father prepared to pay off the debt.”
Gu Xin had never seen a banknote before. She looked at Gu Shouxin suspiciously.
“Xin Xin, this is really a banknote. When your father came back that night, didn’t you get tired and go to sleep? So, you didn’t know.” Cai Xiaolian understood that Gu Shouxin was going to tell the truth to her daughter, so she helped to explain.
“Mother, Sister, is this really a banknote? The kind that can be used as money?” Gu Xin had never seen a banknote before, so she naturally asked.
“Yes.” Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian both nodded.
“Oh, I see! That’s good then. Father, Mother, Sister, you must have been too busy yesterday and forgot to tell me! Hehe, as long as you have money, it’s fine.” Gu Xin heaved a sigh of relief.
“Xin Xin, aren’t you going to ask me where this silver came from?” Gu Shouxin asked in surprise.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian also looked at Gu Xin in confusion.
“Dad earned it! Dad went to the Yu Zhou Province to earn it, didn’t he?” Gu Xin blinked in confusion.
She had no idea how many things a penny could buy. She could count, but she had never used money to buy anything, so she had no idea at all.
In her opinion, 300 taels of silver were a lot of copper coins. It should be able to buy a lot of things, but she didn’t know how hard it was to earn 300 taels of silver. Some people could never earn that much silver in their lifetime.
After a period of time, she understood the price of goods and had a certain understanding of money. Only then did she have doubts about how her father earned this amount of money.
However, after a period of time, she would also feel that her father was very, very powerful. She would not doubt that her father earned this amount of money by gambling.
“Yes, Father earned it. mm, in the future, I will tell Xin Xin how much money I earn.” Gu Shouxin felt a little sad.
How much had the original owner neglected this daughter?! What the f*ck!
“Father, Mother, Xin Xin, how about this? Let’s set up an accounting book and record everyone’s monthly expenses as well as the family’s income. This way, it’ll be easier for me to learn how to read with Xin Xin, and also make our future lives less muddle-headed!” Gu Nian suggested.
“Okay, I agree with that!” Cai Xiaolian was the first to agree.
“Sure. Nian Nian and Xin Xin are women. Although they can’t take the imperial examinations, they still have to keep up with reading and learning how to write. Reading can make one understand, reading can make one wise, and reading can make one…” Gu Shouxin was about to explain the benefits of reading, he was interrupted by Cai Xiaolian.
“Alright, husband, I’ll go get a pen and paper. Let’s write down today’s earnings.” Cai Xiaolian was an impatient person.
Both she and Gu Nian needed to learn how to read, because the words of the Zhou Dynasty were all traditional Chinese characters. The two of them, who were used to using simplified Chinese characters, did not recognize many of them, except for the common and simple ones.
Gu Shouxin took out a pen and paper and began to write.
The family ledger.
Cai Xiaolian asked him to stop after she had finished writing the five characters.
“Give me the pen. I’ll show you how to draw it. You have to draw it in this shape. Here is…” Cai Xiaolian took the pen and handed Gu Shouxin a simple form.
Gu Shouxin understood Cai Xiaolian’s meaning and followed her instructions..
