Chapter 423 Do you like it?_1

A large fruit orchard brought about close to four thousand taels in the account, and the Yang family also had a substantial income of nearly fifteen hundred taels.

The Zhou family's largest income of the year was accounted for, and Zhulan was checking the year's expenses. Last year, they had taken ten thousand taels from Jingzhou, leaving two thousand taels for household use.

The expenses for the year on food, clothing, housing, and transportation weren't too high, costing over three hundred taels, mainly because fabric for clothing was expensive.

The bulk of the year's spending was on gifts. Since Mr. Chen's family gave precious gifts of silver, the Zhou family's reciprocal gifts had to be decent as well, and after back and forth, over seven hundred taels were spent on gifts this year.
