Chapter 128 Not enough money

Uncle Liao said, "Okay, I'll tell you the county number tomorrow."

Susie was relieved, and was about to go to the kitchen to boil water for washing when Old Wang came in.

Lao Wang came in and handed Uncle Liao a cigarette, Uncle Liao waved his hand, and Lao Wang gave the cigarette to Liu Zi, who didn't want it either.

Lao Wang struck a match in his mouth and lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, "Two yuan a gram is too cheap, if you add more, I have a lot of gold."

Uncle Liao shook his head, "I came to your place two years ago, and I also collected gold. At that time, I stayed at the Huang's house in your village when it was late."

"The old lady of the Huang family sold me a gold ring for two yuan a gram. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

After hearing this, Lao Wang thought about it in his heart. The family at the head of the village is indeed surnamed Huang, and there is also an old lady. If it is their first time here, they must not know.

Lao Wang went out to whisper a few words to his wife, and Lao Wang's daughter-in-law hurried to Huang's house.

After a while, Lao Wang's wife turned around and nodded to Lao Wang.

Old Wang lit another cigarette, frowning and smoking fiercely.

He wanted to sell it again, but he was afraid that the price would be cheap and he would be fooled.

Old Wang's daughter-in-law whispered: "Or just sell it, Aunt Huang said that they are buyers in a regular factory, and they do business according to the rules."

"We hold that gold in our hands with fear, and it's not suitable for eating or drinking. If we sell it for money, we can marry Gangzi a wife."

Lao Wang took a few deep breaths, "Okay, sell!"

He got up to walk into the house, but stopped again, "Where's Gangzi? Go and tell Gangzi to come back."

He was still a little worried, with his son around, the two of them were strong, and they were at home, so they were not afraid even if something happened.

Lao Wang's daughter-in-law hurried out to find Gangzi.

After a while, Gangzi was found. Lao Wang bolted the door, held the chair against it, went into his room, closed the door again, crawled under the bed, and dragged out a small wooden box.

Lao Wang motioned to his wife, "Tell him to come here."

"Just let the cripple come here alone."

Lao Wang's wife quickly called Uncle Liao over.

Uncle Liao held a hammer, pen and paper, and an abacus in his hand.

Lao Wang closed the door, and then opened the small wooden box.

In an instant, a piece of golden light seemed to illuminate the room brightly.

The eyes of Lao Wang's family of three also followed suit. Only Uncle Liao was sitting on a chair, not bothering to lift his eyelids. He had seen this thing too much, so it was not surprising.

Lao Wang first turned Uncle Liao's scale over and over again to check it several times. Every time Uncle Liao weighed a weight, Lao Wang would take it over and weigh it again by himself.

Uncle Liao was not surprised either, and recorded the weight on paper once he weighed it.

Gangzi was standing behind Uncle Liao, responsible for checking whether the number reported by Uncle Liao was the same as the number written down.

Uncle Liao memorized the number and gradually became restless.

He hasn't finished weighing yet, and he's already feeling a little bit hopeless, maybe he doesn't have enough money!
After weighing all the gold, Uncle Liao added it with an abacus, and the total was more than 700 grams.

3000 grams will cost [-] yuan!

This time, Susie brought one thousand and two, and he and the six sons brought a total of one thousand and four, adding up to only two thousand and six.

Not enough money!
He didn't hide it either, "I didn't expect you to have so much gold here, we brought less money."

Old Wang's wife was stunned, "I don't have so much money? What should I do then?"

Uncle Liao pondered for a moment, "Why don't we charge as much as we have, do you think it's okay?"

Lao Wang shook his head again and again, "That won't work, if you want to take it away together, take some and keep some, I can't handle it."

Uncle Liao stood up, "Well, let me discuss it with my two companions first."

He got up and went out, Lao Wang hurriedly covered the small wooden box.

When Uncle Liao went back to the house, Susie and the six sons were there. When he entered the door, they both asked in unison, "How is it?"

Uncle Liao smiled wryly, "Everything is real, but there are too many and we don't have enough money."

"They sold it together when they said they wanted to sell it."

Susie and the six sons looked at each other in blank dismay.

Susie asked, "How much is the difference?"

Uncle Liao handed her the paper, "Look for yourself."

Susie quickly calculated that the total of 750 three grams of gold was [-] yuan.

Not counting the change, they were still 900 yuan short.

These days, 90 is not a small sum, not to mention [-], it is [-] yuan, which is beyond the reach of most families.

Uncle Liao naturally knew it in his heart. He estimated that his mother-in-law could give 100 yuan, but what's the use of 100 yuan?
The six sons were also thinking in their minds that Uncle Qian's family might be able to borrow tens or hundreds of dollars, but it was still too far away.

Susie frowned silently.

900 yuan is not a small amount, but she knows someone can come up with this money.

Her grandma!
Xu Zhihui remits 20 yuan of pension money to his parents every month. It has been seven or eight years, and the old lady has not used this money much.

I can save more than 200 yuan a year, and have more than 1000 yuan in seven or eight years.

900 yuan, the old lady must have it, but Susie is not easy to say this, she also borrowed 300 yuan from the old lady and has not returned it.

Uncle Liao said, "The business is at hand, I think we should find a way to get it together and try our best to make it happen."

The place is close, the time spent is less, the cost is calculated to be less, the quantity is also large, and the profit is naturally more.

Susie thought and thought, "Well, I'll go back and get the money."

Uncle Liao and the six sons looked at her in surprise, "How much money can you afford by yourself?"

Susie shook her head and whispered, "I can't take it out, but I have something to borrow."

"Besides, there is still the matter of the tractor. It's just right to go back and save the phone."

Uncle Liao thought for a while, "That's fine, then tomorrow morning, I will let my son accompany you for a walk, and I will wait for you here."

He didn't worry about Susie, a little girl running outside by herself.

Susie nodded, "Okay, then I'll go to bed early and leave early tomorrow."

Liu Zi said: "There is a bus going to the city every day, there is one after seven o'clock in the morning, let's take that bus."

The two agreed on a time, Susie simply washed up, and then went to sleep in the old Wang's daughter's room.

Woke up early the next morning, fortunately, Mrs. Wang's wife had already cooked corn porridge, Susie and the six sons ate a bowl in a hurry, and then went to catch the car.

The two walked for more than a mile, and when they reached the side of the road, a car arrived after a short wait.

It was still early, and there were not many people in the car. The two got on the car, but found that there were no seats in the car.

Susie and the six sons stood there for almost an hour, and finally arrived in the city.

When they arrived in the city, they caught the train again, and when they arrived in the county by train, the six sons borrowed Uncle Qian's donkey cart and hurried back to the sheep horn production team.

After all, the croissant production team is not far from Liujiagang, that is, two to three hundred miles. However, in this era of underdeveloped transportation, Susie and Liu Zi did not stop all the way, and it took more than six hours to reach the place. .

Su Qian directly asked Liu Zi to drive the car to Xu's house.

There is not much farm work to be done recently, and Xu Changgui is at home.

After Su Qian finished talking, Xu Changgui couldn't believe it, "Only three hundred and eight?"
