At this moment, Qin Caichun was fully focused on transcribing the contract. Since the agreement involved three families, she had to produce three identical copies. When she heard Su Yu calling her name, she immediately replied, "Generally speaking, the tax is about one-tenth of the sale price. In other words, the two of you will need to pay a total of twenty taels in taxes."
Old Man Chen only then realized how quickly money vanished once it was in hand. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What? That much?" After all, he had just finished counting the flying money and copper coins handed over by Su Shi'an and Wujin.
Qin Caichun added, "Real estate transactions have always been subject to heavy taxes. However, you don't need to bear the entire cost yourselves. Since the seller also has to cover half the tax, you only need to pay ten taels, and Uncle Su will pay the other ten. It's best if everyone pays in flying money; it’s very convenient for the county office to exchange them at the bank."
