Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 798 accounting

Thanks to everyone, I consider 2020 to have finished perfectly!

Announcement: Starting tomorrow, three posts per day!

In the evening Wei Kaiyun said to Jiang Xinyu, if Old Yang knew, he’d be furious. He’s wanted Lu Tiezhu’s dagger for a long time, but he can’t get it from him.

The next day, Li Yungui, feeling free without any tasks, came to visit Wei Kaiyun.

"Xiao Wei, you and Yunqiang should go to the township to withdraw money in the morning, and in the afternoon follow me to Sun Family Village to collect money."

"Alright."

After Li Yungui left, Jiang Xinyu teased Wei Kaiyun with a smile, "You’ve become a bodyguard now, specializing in exchanging money."

"They think even if the money is lost while it’s with me, we can afford to repay it."

Jiang Xinyu just smiled with pursed lips. That really is the idea.

Li Yunqiang also came along, and Wei Kaiyun rode his bike with him to the granary to pick up money.

"Xiao Wei, it’s better to deliver the public grain early, that way the money can be calculated quickly, otherwise we have to wait."

"A lot of people probably envy us, right?"

"Definitely. You don’t know that troublemaker at my place. Yesterday, her family came over, and she agreed to lend them the corn shaker machine, and I gave her a good scolding. That foolish move, my second brother doesn’t know yet. If he finds out, he’ll probably hit me."

"Accountant Li, once Vice Mayor Li processes the procedures from above, our villagers will start buying shaker machines from Master Lu. By then, they’ll be forty yuan each, and we won’t need to borrow; we can just buy them directly.

But this must wait until Vice Mayor Li gives us recognition before it can be disclosed. To be honest, if not for my gratitude towards the village, I wouldn’t reveal this."

"I know, I know, Xiao Wei, I’m not someone who can’t see the big picture, rest assured. Even if I did something wrong, my second brother wouldn’t let me off."

Wei Kaiyun didn’t respond. Regardless of what they might think, the shaker machine is at his home, and given the current situation in the village, making more right away isn’t realistic.

"Xiao Wei, trust me; with me, there won’t be any issues."

"Alright, I trust you. This is indeed a way for our village to make money in the future. To be honest, if someone really makes a mistake, the villagers won’t spare them."

"Exactly, during the winter downtime, who wouldn’t want to work in a warm room earning money?

What you mentioned is the mild outcome. If one of our villagers indeed makes a mistake, they might not be able to stay in the village."

"Xiao Wei, are there enough materials? They’re all metal, right?" Li Yunqiang’s main worry was this.

"Once the recognition from above arrives, everything will be available."

"True, with support from the higher-ups, we won’t have worries about materials.

Xiao Wei, how much material have you prepared, and how many shaker machines can be made?"

"Hmm, we can make dozens more. I don’t think we’ll have to wait long; Vice Mayor Li won’t miss this opportunity because it’s beneficial for him."

They talked as they arrived in the township, directly exchanging their note for a bag of money.

"Xiao Wei, my hands are shaky; I’ll ride and take you with me."

"Alright."

They counted the money together and handed it to his wife when they returned.

"Xiao Wei, do you think I could ask Teacher Jiang to help me with accounting?"

"As long as my wife isn’t busy watching the kids, there’s no problem. But you’ll have to prepare an abacus for her. We haven’t prepared one at home."

"That’s no problem; we have one at home, and the brigade office has one too. It’s just too much to bother Teacher Jiang."

"Both of us would never refuse to help if it’s something we can do, since you’ve asked."

"Having you two in the village has been a tremendous change."

"Haha, it’s not as exaggerated as you say."

"It’s true. My second brother has said more than once how fortunate he is to have you here instead of the educated youths. You’re our lucky stars."

"Honestly, coming to this village feels like an honor. Although there are minor thoughts here and there, the essence is still worthy of interaction, which is why I’m willing to contribute."

"Xiao Wei, you won’t regret it. You’re right; everyone has their own interests, but we have our limits. Take your family, for example. Everyone knows about your lifestyle, but nobody says anything. Indeed, there are those who envy and those who want bargains, but there are limits."

"Hmm, that’s good enough." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"That’s why you’re willing to let everyone earn money."

"Yes, I will repay those who are kind to our family."

Li Yunqiang kept talking; truthfully, he was very nervous about handling such a large sum of money. Previously, there’d be around ten people for this; this time, it was just the two of them.

Wei Kaiyun was happy to chat with him, easing his tension.

Once they finally entered the village, Li Yunqiang relaxed. As long as he’s here, money was safe.

He rode straight into the Wei Family. He truly didn’t want to hold onto that money any longer; his heart was pounding.

Seeing Jiang Xinyu laughing and coming out, Li Yunqiang immediately beamed, "Teacher Jiang, this is the money we brought back today, eight thousand four hundred and forty-four yuan.

For now, let’s leave it here and I’ll go get the ledger and keep accounts at your place."

"Alright, no rush."

Li Yunqiang waved his hand and quickly left.

Wei Kaiyun laughingly put the bag on the table.

"How does it feel to hold onto a money bag?" Jiang Xinyu teased Wei Kaiyun with a smile.

"Not bad, knowing it’s not mine, so there’s nothing exciting about it."

"Haha, I feel the same. Nowadays, I think I’m the village’s money bag—just a bag without consciousness."

After Jiang Xinyu said this, the couple laughed together.

Li Yunqiang called Li Yungui over, carrying two abacuses.

"Teacher Jiang, you do the calculations, I’ll record them."

"Alright, I’m decent at abacus, though a bit rusty."

"Teacher Jiang, our corn totals thirty thousand jin, all first-class, at eleven cents per jin."

Jiang Xinyu clicked the beads on the abacus quickly, "The total is three thousand three hundred yuan. You gave me one thousand and fifty-six yesterday. Today it’s two thousand two hundred and forty-four yuan."

After Li Yunqiang recorded, "The sorghum is second-class, eight cents per jin, also thirty thousand jin."

"That’s two thousand four hundred yuan."

"Cotton is first-class, one thousand jin, at eighty cents per jin."

"Eight hundred."

"Soybeans are three thousand jin, sixty cents per jin."

"One thousand eight."

"Peanuts are two thousand jin, sixty cents per jin."

"One thousand two.

Adding the one thousand and fifty-six yuan from yesterday, the total is nine thousand five hundred yuan."

"That means the gross income for the whole village this year is nine thousand five hundred yuan."

"Yes."

"More than last year."

"Our remaining grain should be the most."

"Indeed, the remainder is much larger than the public grain delivered, allowing everyone to share more."
