Chen Hong was stunned to see so much money.
Gu Jin suggested, "Let's all count it together. With so much money, I have no idea how long it would take me alone to finish counting."
"Alright!"
Chen Hong was the first to start, grabbing a handful of money, stacking it up, and began to count.
Uncle Gu and Old Man Gu stacked the money neatly, while Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin, the siblings, also helped out.
With more hands, the task was done quickly, and they reached the final amount, totaling one hundred twenty-six yuan and fifty cents.
This amount left the Gu Family in shock.
At that time, an average worker earned just about thirty yuan a month, and a year's earnings from the field equaled just a few months' wages for a worker.
But today, selling pork alone brought them the equivalent of a few months' salary in just one day, more than a year's income from farming.
Chen Hong swallowed hard, "How do we divide all this money?"
