Zhou Shuren opened the chest, and inside it were neatly arranged silver ingots. Pointing at the chest, he said, "There are a total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver in this chest, the quality of the stored bracelets wasn't good, so the price was heavily discounted."
Zhulan covered the chest, tallying the accounts, "For Chang Lian's engagement, the family provided three hundred taels as a betrothal gift, leaving four hundred and over sixty taels. The groom sent gifts twice afterwards, and Wang Ru and Shi Qing also sent gifts once. Not counting the silver from selling gold, I just calculated our family assets and we have four hundred and ninety taels left. Now adding the one hundred and twenty from selling the gold, the family has a total of six hundred and ten taels of silver."
