Green Mountains and Green Waters, People's Homes

After reading Chapter 26, I felt that the author had written everything well, the writing style was also good, and it read smoothly. Prices are so confusing... 300 Taels of silver for an ordinary farmer's family is really a huge amount of money. Grandpa has 300 taels, and grandma has 200 taels for dowry. They are so rich, and their grandson only has one tael of silver a year, but they are still so stingy, pretending to live in such hardship, not having enough food and clothing, and mistreating other sons and grandsons. The male protagonist's father only earned more than 30 taels of silver a year from his craftsmanship, but he casually dared to take on a debt of 300 taels. He could forget about it, but he couldn't afford to pay it back in his lifetime based on his craftsmanship. People in that era were not valuable, and he was sold for only a dozen taels or dozens of taels of silver. How could anyone be willing to lend him 300 taels? There is also a pot worth 5 taels of silver, and a handkerchief worth 1 tael. Prices are really confusing... It would be more reasonable to reduce all prices and deposit arrears by 0.
