The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 8 How to Borrow Money

"But our family has no money!" Luo Xiaojiang said foolishly to Mr. Luo.

When Mrs. Chen in the room heard that the five liang of silver was the pension money for the next few years, she felt unhappy for a long time. He slapped his thighs and cried on the spot after hearing Xiao Jiang Luo's words.

"God, open your eyes and see, the son I have worked so hard to raise, even my parents and I don't want to raise it! Why am I not dead? What am I doing alive..."

Mrs. Chen began to cry cursingly in the room.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu pulled Luo Xingwang, and said in a low voice: "Third brother, have you seen that there is no brotherhood in the eyes of your second brother."

Luo Xingwang stared heavily at Luo Xingzu who was leaning against the door panel and trembling all over.

"Second brother, what are you talking about, are you going to get the money?" Luo Xiangyuan asked Luo Xingzu angrily.

"I……"

Luo Xingzu looked at the domineering Luo Xiangyuan in the room in pain. If he could take it out, he would definitely not say a word, but as Ruo'er said, if he wanted to take out the five taels of silver, he would have to give the three children to him. sold!
"Little sister, don't force the second brother, I won't marry this daughter-in-law!"

Luo Xingwang threw down a sentence, turned around and walked out.

"Third, where are you going? Come back to me. Mother has promised you that she will marry you a wife. I'll see who dares to disagree!" Chen yelled at Luo Xingwang's back.

"Third Brother, Dad hasn't spoken yet, what are you in a hurry for?" Luo Xiangyuan chased after him and grabbed Luo Xingwang.

In the yard, Mr. Luo turned his head and said to Mrs. Lin: "You are a member of the third family, and you also have parents. Let me ask you, do your brothers want to support your parents?"

"Father..." Lin looked at Mr. Luo with a pale face.

Mr. Luo waved his hand, "When the family was separated, it was agreed that a pension of one tael a year would be paid. Now that your brother is getting married, your father is tighter. He asked you to pay for the next five years. This is not for nothing, right? ?”

Although it is not for nothing, it is definitely difficult for the strong!
However, this time it was justified.

"Master, what you said is true? I gave you five taels of silver, so my family won't have to give you and me any more pension money for the next five years?" Qing Guo looked at Mr. Luo and asked loudly.

Mr. Luo nodded, "That's right, you don't need to take it for the next five years."

Qingguo turned her head and said to Mrs. Lin: "Mother, this is what should be given, you should accept it."

"Guo'er!" Lin looked at Guo'er in astonishment, and cried, "Our family has no money!"

"Go and borrow." Guo'er said firmly to Lin: "Let's go to grandma's house to borrow."

Lin staggered and almost fell to the ground.

If her mother's family is good, is there still a need for her to be a hairpin and send eggs back?

Lin's natal Shizhen Village is [-] miles away from Sankengzi Village. Due to the lack of rain last winter, the harvest is not good this year. It's just that Shizhen Village has a river flowing through Xingcheng County. If you collect it, you can touch some fish, shrimp, etc. in the river to exchange for some living money.

It's just that Lin's father, Lin Shanwen, was incapable of writing and martial arts. When he was young, he studied for several years and recognized a few words.

The scholar didn't pass the exam, and the family's farm work was thrown away. When he was old, his family had the worst life in Shizhen Village. Fortunately, all three daughters in the family were married, and only two and a half boys were left. It can still support a little bit, and barely mix with food and clothing.

Qingguo didn't care what her mother thought, she raised her head and said to Mr. Luo, "Master, when will you want this money?"

"Three days later!"

The old man of the Luo family said that he would ask for five taels of silver three days later, and when both Lin and Luo Xingzu agreed, he took the whole family back to the old house of the Luo family with five large rooms at the east end of the village.

As soon as they left, Qingguo repeatedly called Qingping and the young general to help Luo Xingzu to lie down on the bed.

"Father, let my brother invite Dr. Qi to take a look?" Qing Guo said.

How could Luo Xingzu still care about his own injury, his mind is full of five taels of silver now.Hearing Qing Guo's words, he waved his hands again and again and said, "Guo'er, dad is fine, dad..."

"Father, are you thinking about the five taels of silver?"

Luo Xingzu glanced at Lin who was sitting on the bed wiping tears, and sighed deeply.

"Guo'er, your grandma's life is also difficult."

"I know!" Qingguo looked at Luo Xingzu with big black grape-like eyes, pulled the corners of her lips, and showed an innocent smile, and said, "But, we have a second aunt and a third aunt!"

Lin, who was wiping away tears, paused and turned to look at Qingguo.

"Your second aunt is okay, your third aunt..." Lin's brows were tightly frowned, and her eyes were full of despair.

Qingguo's second aunt, Lin Qiaoqiao, married a family surnamed Lu in Liujiang Village, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Because of Qingguo's quick mind, her second uncle usually does some small business besides farming, and lives a somewhat prosperous life.

The third aunt, Lin Xiaotao, married into a merchant family surnamed Huang in Qingyang Town, and her life was better than her second aunt. He is protecting her.

As soon as Lin said, Qingguo knew what Lin was worried about.

She had planned it in her heart long ago. The second aunt's family borrowed three taels of silver, and the third aunt's family borrowed two taels of silver. What's the matter.

As for whether they can pay back the five taels of silver, and when they will pay it back, Qing Guo already has a plan in mind.Now being reminded by Mrs. Lin, Qingguo thought, it seems that she has to change her plan, and she has to borrow the five taels of silver from her second aunt's house!

"Mother, let's go to Second Aunt's house." Qing Guo said to Lin.

"Go to your second aunt's house?" Lin looked at Luo Xingzu hesitantly, and said in a deep voice, "Guoer's father, even if the second sister is willing to lend us the money, how can we pay it back?"

Luo Xingzu's frown could kill a fly instantly.

That's right, he is a farmer. Even if he is a good farmer, he must have a field for him to grow, right?Just relying on that mu of dry land, it is difficult to provide enough food for a family. How can there be more food to sell for money?

"What's the rush?" Qingguo took Lin's words and said, "Mother, don't worry, with daddy and our family here, the money can always be paid back."

"Yes, mother." Qingping is old, looking at the exceptionally intelligent and capable Qingguo, she said hastily: "Aren't we still there? I'll go to the town in the spring of next year to see who wants a maid."

"No!" Lin immediately interrupted Qingping, "Even if I sell myself for money, I won't sell the three of you."

Seeing that Qingping was still arguing, Qingguo immediately accepted Lin's words.
