Chapter 123 Loan money
If you refuse forcefully, they will definitely fight you.

Qiao Muchao didn't want to waste more words, so she smiled and said, "Yes, I did buy some wasteland, but it was a loan in the name of Jingchen scholar, and the interest for every tael of silver is 50 wen per month. .Although I made some money by treating people before, I spent all my money on this trip to Fucheng.

It's not impossible for you to go, but we have agreed in advance that we will not pay a cent of your expenses.If you live in a house in Fucheng, you have to bear the rent, food and clothing by yourself.I welcome help with the work, but I may be owed wages, which I will have to pay off again three years later when Jingchen wins the top prize. "

She paused and then said: "If you agree to sign and deposit it immediately, I can contact the carriage earlier."

For such a big family, not to mention the food and clothing to Fucheng, the travel expenses are quite high, right?

Mrs. Qiao's face suddenly turned pale, "I don't believe you have any loan money. Did you say that on purpose?"

“Isn’t it normal for scholars to take out loans?”

Qiao Muyao rolled her eyes at her, "How about Jingchen staying up late copying books?"

No wonder the kid worked so hard. Mrs. Qiao was doubtful, "What if he misses in three years?"

"I'm afraid we have to wait another three years, or wait until we make money."

Mrs. Zhang waved her hands after hearing this, "I didn't expect that you are living such a life, so Yangyang and I would rather not cause trouble for you."

Mrs. Qiao looked at the hosta on her head and said angrily: "Looking at how much you spend on food and clothing, you don't look like someone who has borrowed money? You are all making excuses!"

"Anyway, Jingchen has been admitted as a scholar and signed up at Laiyang Academy. He will become an official sooner or later. We can't continue to be as picky as before."

Qiao Muchao said: "If you are as simple as before, you will be called a poor scholar by others. Look at those scholars, many of them are trying to make themselves fat. By the way, I forgot to tell you that we still owe Mr. Chen It's 100 taels of silver. If you don't believe it, I can take you to the Yamen to ask."

Scholars like to be poor and fastidious. I heard that many scholars live on borrowed money. When they learned that they still owe Mr. Chen 100 taels, Mrs. Qiao suddenly felt like a deflated ball.

I thought they had made a fortune, but it turns out they were just pretending to be a facade.

Mrs. Qiao's dream of going to the city to enjoy her life was shattered, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, you can do whatever you want, I don't care."

"One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, why are you so confused?" Mrs. Zhang frowned, looking puzzled.

Qiao Muyao walked to the door and took a look to make sure that Mrs. Qiao was not eavesdropping anymore, and then whispered to her: "Mom, I lied to her. You guys pack your things quickly, and before she regrets it, we will set off tomorrow. .”

Mrs. Zhang's brows relaxed, "You kid! I don't even know what to believe in your words."

"Anyway, you are right to listen to me!"

Qiao Muyao smiled slyly at her, "Maybe the news will come back before we get to Laiyang. Don't take your old clothes with you. We can buy more on the way."

After coming out of Qiao's house, Qiao Muchao went to Dongzhi's house. Dongzhi had been separated long ago. Qiao Muchao had no hesitation in taking them to Fucheng.

Anyway, if she offended the Chang family, she would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the village. She would only be bullied if she stayed. Even if she didn't think about herself, she still had to think about her two daughters.

When she heard that the man was not on the list of dead soldiers, she was so happy that she couldn't even open her mouth from ear to ear, saying that Mu Yao was amazing for even being able to find out such news.

Shaoqing was also very happy, knowing that she would not leave him alone when she said yes.
