Chapter 45 Raising Money
Zhixin and Jiaxing entered the house and talked about Zhiming. Finally, they said that they wanted 500 taels of silver. "Dad, mother, what do you think about this? 500 taels of silver, our family can't even sell it. What can we do now?"
When the old man heard this, he was a big head and sighed constantly. The old lady couldn't help but shed tears. Zhu was the same. The tears kept flowing and she didn't dare to cry out loud. She just shed tears like that.
After hearing this, Xue turned around and took out twenty taels of silver, a pair of silver bracelets and a silver hairpin from her house. "I don't have much more, so I can get these together."
Chen also took out all the silver coins in his family, and there were still thirty taels in total. This year, some of the money sold for the mallet was used for Huixin to get married, and Zhixiang took some of them into Beijing, and in the end, there were only fifty taels left. Zhixin took twenty taels away last time.
Zhu took out all the silver left on his body, only more than ten taels. Zhixin still had some silver on him, so he took out all the money. Originally, he had taken away eighty taels of silver, but he spent thirty taels of money on the whole family, but he had 50 taels of money left. The total amount of money for the whole family was only more than one hundred taels, which was quite a bit short of five hundred taels.
The old man sighed, "Boss, go find the village chief and ask him to help me ask, who wants the knives? Our family has three years of knives, and it can be sold for more than 100 taels in total, so it's all sold. There are also our land, and you can sell it if you want it. See how much you can get it."
Zhixin was stunned. This stick is their root. If they were sold all of them all, what would they point to in the future? "Dad, you have to think about it. If you sold the stick, we will not have any items in the future. Besides, if we sell the land, we will not even have food in the future."
Zhu also said, "Dad, you can't do this. If this happens, how can our family live? In this way, I will go back and sell the house in the county to see if I can raise some money. Anyway, Zhiming has come out, we can't stay in the county. We can also sell the house in the county for 120 taels. Brother, wait for me, I will go back and sell the house." Zhu said, turning around and going out.
Zhu left, and the rest of the people sat there, and the whole house was filled with misty mist. Jiaxing saw this and turned around and went out of the Xu family. Not long after, Jiaxing came in again, holding a small bag in his hand, and put it on the kang, "Brother Xu, here is fifty taels of silver. You can use it first, I have that much."
When Zhixin saw it, he quickly stuffed the money into Jiaxing's hands, "Jiaxing, thanks to you for helping us this time, I followed you back and forth and asked your brother-in-law for help. We haven't thanked you yet, how can you help you pay? Your family is not well off, and Zixuan still has to study. Our family is like this now, and fifty taels of silver can't be paid at all."
Jiaxing gave the money to Zhixin again, "Brother, you take it first, we don't rush to use it. Who has not had any ups and downs in life? You can't pay it back a year or two, but can you still not pay it back a decade or eight years? I don't rush to use it. OK, do we brothers still use such an outlier? Take it for emergency."
Zhixin nodded helplessly, "Okay, I'll take it first. When we recover, we will definitely return it to you first."
Now there are 160 taels. If you include Zhu's house, there are 260 to 70 taels. There are still more than 200 taels left, where can I go to Taobao?
Chen thought for a while, "Zhixin, go to the town and see if the fourth brother can get some money. There is also Huixin. If you go, tell Huixin, don't say it in front of the New Year. If it can be done, just get some money. If it doesn't work, forget it. Don't let Huixin make things difficult." This daughter just got married and her parents' family went to borrow money. It was really not good.
Zhixin nodded and hurried out. The old man lay on the kang and sighed, "This is a grievance for several lifetimes. How could he encounter such a thing? Our family's life is just about to get better, but now it's not as good as before."
Chen also sighed. "Old man, stop talking. Can living people still make urine suffocate? As long as people can come back well, we all have hands and feet, just make it slowly. Okay, I'll cook some food, and I have to eat at all, right?" As he said that, Chen went to the field to cook.
Xue did not ask her mother-in-law to cook, so she quickly got up, "Mom, you'd better take a rest, I'll go cook. They are all ready-made, just heat up." Then she went out to burn the fire.
Zhixin walked very fast all the way and arrived in the town in less than half an hour. He first went to Zhide's house, and all the students in Zhide's school happened to leave.
When Zhide saw Zhixin, he felt strange. The eldest brother never came from him. What happened today? "Brother, why are you here? Judging from your appearance, what's wrong?"
Zhixin sat down and said about Zhiming, "Fourth brother, our father asked me to ask you if you can raise some money. At least you have to save the third brother? After spending a long time at home, there is not much. Look,"
Before Zhide could speak, Han came out of the inner room, his face was gloomy and he didn't look at all smiling. "Brother, how much money do we have here? This year, the children in the school collected fewer, and there was not much input at all. I had to get food from my parents' home to supplement it, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to eat."
Zhixin was snatched away by his sister-in-law for a few words, and he was a little embarrassed. "Fourth brother, you,"
Zhide looked up at his wife's appearance. Knowing that his wife was unhappy, he stammered and said, "Brother, the family has been a little difficult for a while, and we don't have any spare money. Look, I really can't help with this."
When Zhixin saw this, he knew that he would not get money from the fourth child today. He sighed and stood up and walked out. "Forget it, since there is no, I won't force it anymore. Go back to see my parents when I have time." As he said that, he walked out of Zhide's house.
Zhide shouted from behind, "Brother, have supper here before leaving."
Zhixin waved his hand and walked without looking back. He came to the Tao family all the way, and was hesitating at the door to get in. Tao Qingnian came from behind, "Brother? Why are you here? Come in quickly, come in, why haven't you entered the yard yet?" As he said that, he pulled Zhixin into the yard.
Tao Qingnian lived in the west wing of the Tao family. Zhixin first went to the main room to greet the old couple of the Tao family, sat down and said a few words. Then he came out of the upper room and went to find Huixin. Huixin was sitting in the room with her shoes on the soles when he suddenly saw Qingnian bringing his elder brother. "Brother, why are you here? Sit down quickly." So he quickly let Zhixin sit on the kang.
Zhixin originally wanted to tell Huixin alone, but when he thought about what happened at Zhide's family just now, he felt that it would be better to say it in front of Qingnian, and he told all the things at home.
"Brother, what else is there for this matter? Wait, I'll give you money now. I'm afraid that someone will give it to the bear. I know what you said, and there will be no problem at all. But our family has no power and no power to talk to others, so they can only get beaten by the bear. If you accept it, just treat it as a lesson. I have to pay attention in the future. You can't get involved in such a thing. Huixin, come on." Tao Qingnian heard what Zhixin said, quickly stood up and pulled Huixin to another room. The two of them muttered a few words there, and then came back. Qingnian took a small bag in his hand, "Brother, there is a hundred taels of silver here. You can use it first. If it's not enough, come again. I'll think of a solution for you."
Zhixin took over the hundred taels of silver and felt so heavy. "Qing New Year, my brother doesn't know what to say. We will definitely return this money to you. Don't worry, I will never blame you." This younger sister and brother-in-law are more happy than his own brother, so Zhixin felt a little uncomfortable.
"What are you saying? We are all a family, so why don't we use such a heretic? Huixin's brother is my brother. Just say it if you have any questions. Brother, don't hurry to leave first, have a meal here later. After finally coming, you have to have a meal before leaving." Tao Qingnian said quickly when he saw Zhixin's appearance.
Zhixin shook his head, "No, I have to go back quickly. I don't know what the family is like. My parents are worried this time. Besides, I'm holding this old money, I can't go home after the dark day. The road is not safe. Okay, I'll go home. When I have time, you can go back to see my parents." Zhixin said as he walked out. He first went to the main room and said goodbye to the old couple of the Tao family, and then came out and walked home.
Tao Qingnian did not try to keep him anymore. Zhixin was right. The later he went back, the less peaceful he was. This was life-saving money. If there was a little mistake, he would be shocked.
Zhixin almost trotted back to the village all the way, entered his own house, and quickly came to the old man's house. "Dad, mother, Huixin and his wife raised a hundred taels." Then he handed the silver to Chen.
Chen took the silver, heavy, "Boss, what did Huixin say, why did she take out so much money? They just got married not long ago, where did they get so much money?"
Zhixin told the story about today one by one. When the old man heard it on the kang, he sat up so angry that he cursed, "This fourth brother is just a beast. He doesn't even care about such a big thing at home. He listens to the instigation of that woman all day long. If they don't allow them to come back in the future, I will just pretend that I have never raised such a son." The old man was so angry that he was so angry.
"Okay, why are you doing so much idleness? Let's just pretend that you have never given birth to this child. Let's discuss how to make up the remaining money." Chen advised the old man a few words, and then everyone began to calculate how much money they were missing.
