When Liu Ji got home after doing the laundry and learned that someone wanted to order a water mill stone grinder, he was even more excited than Qin Yao.
"That small water mill is three taels per set. You and Liu the carpenter could earn half, right?"
"Half would be one tael and five maces of silver, split evenly, that's seven maces and fifty cents, and for three sets... that's over two taels and two maces!"
Liu Ji excitedly swung a freshly washed garment onto the drying bamboo pole, "Wife, our family is going to prosper!"
"Or maybe I should just stay home and help you with the work. We're a family, what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours. You just need to give me two or three taels a month, I won't ask for more... ouch!"
The back of his head took a hit, and the excited Liu Ji cried out in pain. When he turned around, Qin Yao was holding up a wooden club.
"Hang your clothes. These aren't things a househusband like you should worry about."
