Chapter 18 Apprentice!(2/2)
Cao Xian thought he was going in to pay New Year greetings.

"Walk."
"Come in and take a look."
Cao Ren smiled when he heard this, took out the key from his body and pushed the door in.
This is a simple courtyard.
There is only one front yard, which is equipped with stone locks, wooden stakes and other common martial arts training equipment. In addition, there are three rooms and a kitchen.
"Why does brother have the key?"
"Whose family is this?"
Cao Xian followed him stupidly. After looking around and seeing no one, she remembered that the door was locked from the outside just now. She turned to look at her elder brother, then at Cao Xin, and glared: "That's it."
I know you two must have a secret!"
Cao Xin and Cao Ren looked at each other.
With a smile on his face, Cao Ren asked Cao Xian: "Do you know how much it costs to join the martial arts gym?"
"It doesn't cost money?"
Cao Xian asked about this a few days ago, and the two brothers tried to trick her, mainly Cao Zhang and Cao Liang. They were worried that they would spill the beans, so they just said that they didn't need any money. It was the eldest brother who found her, just like the apprentices in the medical clinic.
, come to people's homes as apprentices, work and learn skills, without any wages or fees.
It's a bit hard and tiring now, but there will be no shortage of food and clothing in the future.
Cao Xian is not afraid of hardship or tiredness. He is very happy to learn his skills.
result.
Now.
And told her that it actually costs money to enter the martial arts gym?
She felt a little guilty and looked at her elder brother: "Is it much?"
She wanted to practice martial arts, but was afraid it would cost too much money.
Hence the anxiety.
"Four taels and three cents."
Cao Ren gestured with four fingers and opened his mouth, which made Cao Xian's heart skip a beat.
"How many?!"
Cao Xian was dumbfounded.
Four taels and three cents!
How much is this?!
The Cao family's monthly income is quite large now. After four or five months, the family has received nearly twenty taels and saved more than eight taels, which makes her and the Cao and Zhang family smile all day long.
And now, she entered a martial arts gym to learn her skills, and she actually gained half of her family's fortune in one fell swoop?!
Tremendous stress!
Cao Xian's face turned pale and his excitement was gone.
"That's not all."
"It will be this number every year from now on."
"In addition, to practice martial arts, you need to eat and drink well, and you also need to buy medicinal materials for external application and internal use. Every month, you need to spend at least three taels of silver."
"In a year, it will cost about 40 taels."
Cao Xin also gestured with four fingers and waved them in front of Cao Xian.
Good guy!
I haven't digested the four taels yet, so here comes another forty taels.
Cao Xian had a bitter look on his face and looked at Cao Ren and Cao Xin blankly: "How can our family have so much money?"
Even if we calculate based on last year's income, our family may not be able to save 40 taels after one year.
Should they all be used for her to practice martial arts?
How can it be!
Cao Xian's eyes suddenly turned red, thinking that his martial arts training was going to go to waste.
"Ouch!"
"Why are you crying? I haven't finished talking yet!"
"Sister, come in."
Cao Xin didn't want to make his eldest sister cry. He ran towards the house. Cao Ren pulled Cao Xian and deliberately took a few steps behind before following him.
Once inside.
I saw Cao Xin sitting by the bed, with a box of copper coins in his left hand and a box of silver in his right hand.
Packed to the brim!
Too many to count!
Cao Xian was stupid again!
