Farmer's counterattack is busy with farming

Chapter 66

When they heard that they could pay the corvee with silver, all the Ning family members beamed with joy.

"Nephew, how much do I need to pay for this?" Ning Zhou asked after laughing for a long time before thinking of this crucial question.

Zhou Xu thought for a while and stretched out a palm.

Ning Zhou was surprised: "Five taels of silver?"

Usually two taels of silver are enough for a family's expenses for a year.Five taels of silver, in the eyes of the Ning family, is definitely a lot of money.

"My old aunt, five taels of silver, what are you going to send as a beggar?" Zhou Xu couldn't laugh or cry, "This is the imperial conscript, how can a few taels of silver satisfy the pavilion chief. It's not five taels of silver, it's 50 taels!"

"Five, 50 taels?"

Everyone in the Ning family exclaimed in unison.

The faces of Ning Zhou and Gao turned pale.

50 taels of silver!

This is simply a huge sum of money for the Ning family who can only feed themselves!

Ning Zhou has saved all his life, but he only saved more than a dozen taels of silver.It took half of Ning Dani's marriage, and she took out two taels to share with Ning Dayong.There are four or five taels of silver left in the hand.

She originally thought that it would be a big deal to spend all of this.

Who would have imagined that people would ask ten times more, asking for 50 taels of silver!

Ning Zhou felt that all the strength in his body had been exhausted, and he staggered and said, "Ah Xu, this, this is too much..."

"That's not much." Zhou Xu also knew the situation of Ning's family, and sighed slowly, "Girl, you don't know the way to do this. The money is not only handed over to the court. The chief of the conscription hall, then Who can't be filial to the magistrates who go up? Otherwise, this matter will never come true."

Mrs. Gao cried at that time: "How can this be done, where can I get so much money..."

Second Uncle Ning squatted at the door with his head down, without saying a word.

He knew in his heart that unless he sold all the family property, it would be impossible to scrape together so much money.

But if the field is sold and the house is sold, what will the family eat and where will they live?
This is absolutely impossible.

He was a little desperate, stood up slowly, and said with a sad face: "Mother, if it really doesn't work, forget it, being a soldier doesn't necessarily mean going to war..."

"Second cousin is wrong." Zhou Xu became serious. "To tell you the truth, although I am an insignificant prison guard, I have heard some news. It is said that there is going to be a war in the south. This time the conscription , just for that."

brush!
Uncle Ning's face turned pale.

Everyone knows how wars are going on.

That is a matter of narrow escape!
Once you go, you may not be able to come back.

After Zhou Xu finished speaking, seeing the gloomy clouds in the room, it was inconvenient to stay longer, so he said, "Girl, you should think about this first, there are still three days left. If there is a shortage of money, I still have a few taels in my hand. Your boss I also know that my family is not rich..."

Ning Zhou felt that his hand was as heavy as a thousand catties, slowly raised it, and said sadly: "I know, nephew, you go back first, I will think about it later."

Zhou Xu bid farewell and left.

There was an oppressive silence in the room.

After a while, Ning Zhou said slowly, "Dazhong, what do you think about this?"

"Mom, what can I do? We can't afford the money, so we can only apply for it." Second Uncle Ning said in a low voice.

"If you can't, borrow money from someone!" Gao stood up abruptly, Fang's face was full of determination, "Anyway, I can't let Dazhong go to the front to die! Let's borrow money from someone, no matter who, as long as we can make up 50 taels Silver will do!"

Cheng, who had been silent all this time, said softly: "50 taels, who to borrow from? We don't even know anyone who can give out so much money."

"Borrow a few more, don't you have enough?" Gao sternly retorted, "If one family is not enough, then two, if two are not enough, then three. No matter how many you want to borrow, you have to get the money out!"

Cheng fell silent.

At this time, Wu Xiangxiu suddenly smiled and said: "Borrowing money is also a way. It's just... 50 taels, when will it be repaid? Fortunately, our eldest house has been divided, otherwise we have to pay off the debt together."

These words immediately hit Cheng's sore spot.

She couldn't help but said: "What Xiangxiu said is not unreasonable. The money can be borrowed, but who will pay it back in the future?"

"What's the matter, don't the three younger siblings still want to pay it back?" Gao was furious when he heard that, "Of course everyone pays it back together! Big brother and the others are separated, so there's no way, but the rest of the family can't be separated! Spend the money together, Of course we have to pay it back together!"

Cheng's face was a bit ugly.

"Don't be noisy, you will know that you are noisy all day long!" Ning Zhou patted the table very irritably, "Anyway, if you can borrow money, that would be the best."

Gao said pleasantly, "Mother means you agree?"

"I promise and I agree, but it's hard to say whether the money can be borrowed." Ning Zhou obviously didn't believe that they could borrow 50 taels of silver.

"Mother promises that it will be easy to handle. I'll go out and borrow money right now! I'll go to my mother's house to borrow money first, and then I'll borrow money from people in the village when I come back."

It was a matter of her husband's life and death, Gao Shi ran to her mother's house immediately as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.

When Mrs. Ning Zhou saw it, she asked Mrs. Cheng and her sisters-in-law to go back to their natal family to borrow money.

It's a pity that the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The Ning family itself is a poor family, and the daughter-in-law they married will naturally not be a rich and scholarly family.

Not only the Cheng family returned without success, but even the Gao family returned with tears on his face.

At first glance, she was ridiculed and bullied by her natal family.

Cheng sighed and said, "Mother, you all know about our natal family. My natal family is not as good as ours. We can't even eat enough. Where can we lend us money?"

Liu Chunhua also said cruelly: "Mom, I didn't borrow any money."

"I didn't expect you at all." After Ning Zhou finished speaking coldly, she ignored her and said, "In this case, then go to the village to borrow. They are all from the villagers. I don't think they will see death. saved."

Ning Zhou's words made everyone in the Ning family feel strange.

It's a pity that Ning Deyuan is not at home, and this family has to listen to Ning Zhou.Even Ning Caicai and Ning Xianxian were kicked out by the Ning Zhou family and asked to borrow money from the whole village.

As a result, after one afternoon, all the people added up, but they only borrowed more than three taels of silver.

Most of them were borrowed from Ning Xianxian and Ning Caicai.

Of course, Ning Xianxian is not stupid, she borrowed them all in the name of the Ning family's old house.

Ning Zhou didn't care about this, she looked at the money in front of her, and was so worried that she could hardly eat.

"The sum of all the private houses and the borrowed ones are only seven or eight taels. This is not enough!" Gao cried and made noise, begging Ning and Zhou to find someone again. "Mom, think of a way..."

Mrs. Ning Zhou was buzzing and screaming with her head wrapped around her head.

At this moment, the Wang matchmaker who came last time came to the door again.
