Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 127 Chapter 120 Six: Silver
Zhang Laodou was thinking about the money, so he sent Zhang Hugua to Chengjiazhuang early the next morning to listen to the reply.

Zhang Donggua scratched his head when he saw someone, and was very distressed: "I have been begging the steward for a long time, but the steward heard that the advance payment was 180 taels. Thinking about the age of me and your sister-in-law, I refused to agree to anything." , fourth brother, you go back and tell dad that I really begged, but the steward disagrees, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Zhang Hugua was so happy that he was waiting to come to get the silver, but when he heard this, his face fell down.

Why can't I borrow it!

How can he buy a house if he can't borrow money from his nephew, and how can he ask for a scholar's daughter?How to read county school?How else can the examiner do it?
Zhang Hugua, the uncle of the future official, just felt that the whole person was not good, so he didn't think much about it, and blurted out what was in his head.

"Second brother, why are you so useless? It doesn't mean that you are borrowing money for nothing if you are asked to advance money. Why can't they advance you if they can? To put it bluntly, your mouth is like a rusty wooden saw, saying no Say something nice!"

"I can't get the money, how can you tell my mother when you want me to go back? Yi Niang doesn't like your temper, believe it or not, sell the pear blossoms!?"

Zhang Donggua: ...

He was so angry that he never thought that the fourth brother, who was always pretty good, would say such a thing.

What sold pear blossoms!
His mother wouldn't sell pear blossoms, but some people might.

Thinking of this, Zhang Donggua couldn't help but squeezed his fist, and said: "Why don't I ask the housekeeper again."

In fact, he didn't lie. Although he followed what Aunt Yuan said, don't look for the steward, but when the steward heard that he paid 180 taels in advance and signed a 22-year contract, he did it without even thinking about it. Say impossible.

Although the Cheng family was kind, it was impossible for them to agree.

Money is not scattered in vain, is it?

After all, his grass is in his early thirties, and after 20 years of work, he will be in his fifties, and the Cheng family is afraid that they won't be able to finish it.

But Zhang Donggua thought about his daughter, so he could only decide to try again.

This time I tried it sincerely. If I can borrow it and the pear blossoms don't have to be sold, then it is worthwhile for the couple to work for a lifetime.

Hearing this, Zhang Hugua calmed down his anger, nodded and said, "Then you go, I'll wait for you here, if you can't get the money, it's not easy for me to go back to work today."

Zhang Donggua responded, turned around and went to look for the steward.

The stewards have taken good care of him for so many years, because the two of them work neatly and honestly, they never steal or play tricks, they only do more every day, and never do less, and this has been the case for more than ten years.

If he paid tens of taels of silver in advance, he would still be able to help open the mouth in front of the master in ten or eight years, but he couldn't agree to the nearly 200 taels.

Because you don't need to ask, you know, the master will definitely not agree.

So it was no surprise that Zhang Donggua came out again with his head drooping, this time it was true, and he didn't do anything fake.

"Fourth brother, the steward still refuses. If you say tens of taels, you can help to talk to the landlord. I want to pay too much in advance, and he can't agree."

When Zhang Hugua heard this, he was out of luck. He couldn't help but lose his temper if he was beaten to death.

The Cheng family has a big business, so he dare not make trouble here.

So I had no choice but to say: "I'll go back and ask my parents first, and see what they say."

When I got home and told Zhang Laodou, Zhang Laodou was also very disappointed.

I thought that the second and second couple have worked together for more than ten years, and they have worked hard without credit. Why did the Cheng family disagree?

Unexpectedly, people just disagree.

The second child is also worthless, and after more than ten years of working, he has not been able to win over the heart of the steward and ask him to help him.

There is no way, Zhang Laodou thought for a long time, the cigarette rod was almost bitten, and finally said: "You go back and tell him that you can pay as much as you can. A few dozen taels is better than nothing."

After Zhang Hugua went away in response, Zhang Laodou sighed to Lao Deng: "How can I get the rest of the money?"

Old Deng pursed her lips, "Anyway, I can take out a dozen or so taels of silver here, and our family doesn't have anything to sell. Otherwise, you can borrow some from your uncle?"

Zhang Laodou also has an old uncle, his mother's younger brother, who is only in his sixties this year, and his body is still in good shape. His son is promising, so his family is well off, and he can be considered to have a family of hundreds of taels.

When old Deng really thought that Zhang Laodou was gone from the war and was forced by her natal family to remarry, this old uncle came to the door and almost beat old Deng to death. He also said that even if Zhang Laodou died, he must Guard him.

This is a bad-tempered person, so these years, old Deng has been impatient to walk around with his family.

If it weren't for the toughness of the old Deng's natal brothers, it would be really unflattering.

At that time, Li Dachui was lonely, hard-working, and had a lot of money in his hands. It was because of this that the Deng family persuaded old Deng to remarry so that he could get another dowry. The uncle barged, and then forced him to retreat.

The Deng family were not good relatives either, so Mrs. Deng did not talk about borrowing money from her natal family.

Zhang Laodou also understands that all these years he has hated the Deng family for forcing his wife to remarry.

He will not come to borrow money.

The relationship with the old uncle is quite good, so he nodded after thinking about it, "I'll go to Chenjiazhuang tomorrow."

It is always bad to open your mouth to borrow money from others, so Zhang Laodou didn't plan to borrow more, and it would be embarrassing for others if he borrowed too much.

After all, an old uncle is an old uncle, and an old cousin is an old cousin, which is different.

Therefore, Zhang Laodou went for a trip, and when he came back from lunch, he borrowed 20 taels, which is really good.

Coincidentally, Zhang Hugua, who went to Chengjiazhuang to listen to the letter, also came back with money.

Zhang Donggua was afraid that he would not have any money, and his family really wanted to sell pear blossoms, so even if it was ten or eight years old, as long as the manager let go, that would be fine.

Finally, after begging for a long time, the steward agreed, and told Landlord Cheng that the one who signed the ten-year contract got 80 taels of silver.

Zhang Laodou held a pile of silver and counted it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now it can be regarded as 140 taels in total, and there is still a difference of 35 taels. Let's see if we can think of other ways to make it up."

He talked for a long time, but seeing that his wife didn't respond, he couldn't help shouting twice.

Old Deng was thinking that his second son signed a ten-year contract, and he would be in his forties after finishing it, so he was worried for a while.

This time she recovered, she also heard Zhang Laodou's words, and couldn't help but said: "I can only borrow it, otherwise what else can I do, let me tell you, if the Xinghua matter doesn't go away for the first time, we will still be rich with money. "

Zhang Laodou also felt a little regretful when he thought about the 50 taels, but after thinking about it for a moment, the third child had sent a letter not long ago saying that Xinghua learned the rules in the county government and learned them very well, even the county magistrate was very optimistic about them.

It will be different once it is sent to Beijing at the beginning of the year and entered the palace.

50 taels of silver are nothing.

He pursed his lips and said: "This matter is definitely settled, what is there to talk about, the benefits will come later, just wait and see!"
