Chapter 97 Zhang Ren borrows money
Yang Baiyang heard that the two of them were doing Tai Chi. Although she didn't quite understand what it meant, she also knew that the fish should be raised in advance. At this time, she was a little lucky that their family had three acres of paddy fields, and they could buy the fry after planting seedlings next year. Put it in the field.

Fang Qing thought about the lack of fish fry in Fucheng, "Auntie... If you want to raise fish, you have to go ahead and order the fish fry."

"Girl Qing, where did you and Sister Ling buy the fish fry last time?" Zhang Cong asked aloud after hearing her words.

"Aunt Cong, my cousin and I have made an appointment with Wang Xi from Wangjiacun. If you need it, you can go to Wangjiacun to find her." Fang Qing thought of her last visit to Wangjia. After several contacts with Wang Xi, she felt that she was a human It's okay to live in the world, and now I will introduce Zhang Cong and the others to find her.

When Zhang Xiaoling heard what her siblings said, she hurriedly said, "Aunt Cong, my siblings and I have been to Wangjiacun. If you want to order fish fry, I can take you there another day."

"Okay, in a few days, you can take the aunts there." Zhang Cong heard Zhang Xiaoling's words, and decided to let her take him with him for the first time, so as not to make it difficult for them to find this person by themselves.

They discussed at Fang Qing's house for a long time, and they went back to their respective houses after the discussion. After they left, Zhang Zelin sat next to Fang Qing, "wife master, when are you going to Jufulou to find Zhou Dong's house!"

Fang Qing saw the person who was tired all day, and hugged him in his arms, "I will go find her the day after tomorrow."

"Wife master, do the aunts and the others also want to raise fish?" He just heard the conversation between the wife master and the aunts, and wondered whether the aunts and the others would also raise fish in the coming year.

"Auntie and the others are going to raise them in the coming year. After a while, my cousin will take them to Wang Xi to order fish fry."

Fang Qing and Fu Lang were chatting here. Mrs. Zhang and her youngest daughter walked to the intersection, and when they were about to part, they asked, "Third brother, your cousin and the others will raise fish with Qing girl in the coming year. You don't have paddy fields in your hands. Do you want to go?" Go buy an acre or two and come back."

When Zhang Ren heard her mother's words, she smiled wryly in her heart, one mu of paddy field needed ten taels of silver, how could she and her husband have so much money to buy it!

Mrs. Zhang thought about the separation of the family back then. She and her husband had three daughters and two sons. After the three daughters got married, the husband and wife were worried that the son-in-law would be afraid of conflicts in the family. After the daughters got married, they all separated. The two mu of paddy fields in the family were given to the eldest brother for the elderly with his wife and elder sister. As for the second, third, and third sisters, only four mu of land was allocated.

This kind of problem is not only discussed by Mrs. Zhang here, but Zhang Xin and Zhang Cong are also discussing the issue of fish farming. However, everyone and their family conditions are not good. For Zhang Fei without paddy fields, Zhang Ren and others can only give up. Money-making opportunities ahead.

Fang Qing didn't know the situation at Zhang's house, she sat in the yard waiting for the doctor from "West Cottage" when she got up in the morning, but she didn't wait for the doctor but Zhang Ren.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Fang Qing saw the third aunt with two panda eyes in his eyes, and wondered if it was possible that Auntie didn't sleep all night last night?

Zhang Ren told the old lady yesterday that the family really had no money to buy a paddy field. She went back last night and thought that this fish farming was a rare opportunity. Because of this problem, she couldn't sleep all night, so she came to borrow money from her niece and daughter-in-law early in the morning.

"Girl Qing, auntie! Alas!" At this point, it felt like something was choking her throat, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't say the next thing.

Seeing that she was about to say something, Fang Qing said, "Auntie, what's the matter with you, tell me and see if I can help you."

"Hey!" Zhang Ren sighed and mustered up the courage to look at Fang Qing, "Girl Qing, my aunt wants to borrow some money from you to buy a two-acre paddy field." When she said this, her eyes turned red, "My aunt's family conditions are not good. Auntie wants to raise fish with you and Sister Ling, to see if I can make some money."

"How much worse is my aunt." Fang Qing knew that her family had no paddy fields. Not only did she not have one, but many second- and third-bedroom houses in the village did not. Most of the paddy fields were in the hands of the elderly.

At first she didn't understand why the paddy field wasn't split up and divided, like the two mu of paddy field in the old lady's hands, it can be divided into half an mu for the second and third, and they keep one mu for themselves.

Later, Fu Lang told her that because paddy fields were rare and expensive, it would be good for a family to have one or two acres of paddy fields.

After listening to Fu Lang's explanation at the time, she felt that there are still many holes in the management of the division of farm families in this world. Although there are holes in her status as a commoner, she can't change anything. She can only hope that the "Queen" will notice the situation of the people that day. .

Zhang Ren didn't expect the niece and daughter-in-law to directly ask how much money was left. She thought the niece and daughter-in-law would say that the family had no money, or would ask her why she had no money.

"Young girl..."

Seeing her, Fang Qing seemed to want to say or not, "Auntie, just tell me how much is left. If you tell me, I will ask Brother Lin to give you the money."

"Girl Qing, last time my aunt shared five liang of silver with your aunt and the others selling mushrooms and bamboo shoots. My aunt and your uncle have saved three taels of silver over the years."

Fang Qing didn't expect that Zhang Ren and the others had only saved three taels of silver these years. She knew that Zhang Meng and the others were selling pickled bamboo shoots a while ago, so she began to suggest that Zhang Ren hire more labor to dig them, and try to dig more before the bamboo shoots grow up. come back some.

Later, she only knew that they didn't hire anyone, and it was a few women who led their families to dig slowly. With their little manpower, there was no time to dig, and the bamboo shoots would grow old after the time passed.

Thinking of this, Fang Qing didn't know what to say to them, she could only think that Zhang Meng and the others would pay more attention to this situation next year.

well!Regardless of these things in advance, let's first ask Zhang Ren in front of him how much money he needs, "Auntie, how many acres of paddy fields do you need to buy?"

When Zhang Ren came here, he wanted to buy a few acres. "Girl Qing, my aunt can't afford much. My aunt can buy two acres of paddy fields."

After hearing what she said, Fang Qing said to Fu Lang who was sitting beside him: "Brother Lin, go and get 20 taels of silver for my aunt."

Zhang Zelin heard that his aunt came to borrow money. She thought of the life of his natal sisters, and he felt uncomfortable. Hearing that the wife-owner said to give money to his aunt, he went to the room to get the money with a heavy heart.

Zhang Ren heard that his niece and daughter-in-law asked his nephew to withdraw 20 taels of silver for her, "Young girl, don't need 20 taels, my aunt still has [-] taels of silver in her hand?"

While she was talking, Zhang Zelin took out the money, Fang Qing took the money handed over by her husband, and gave it to her, "You and uncle are getting older, and there are still young ones at home, you have the rest You have to keep the money in advance as an emergency."

Hearing her words, Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red again. She was also worried that all the family money would be spent on paddy fields. What if her grandchildren got sick and had no money to go to the doctor?Although she thought about it, she couldn't help but want to buy the field!

"Auntie, don't think about it too much. Before the news spreads, you should go to the yamen to buy the field as soon as possible."

Hearing her words, Zhang Ren tightly hugged the 20 taels of silver in his hand and stood up, "Yes! Auntie is going to the Yamen right away."

Fang Qing saw that she wanted to leave, and said again: "I won't go there today, the carriage at home is idle, you can drive the carriage to the city!"
