Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 43

Zhou said with a smile, "I sold the jewelry yesterday, and I still have more than a dozen gold leaves on my body. Now I have gathered twenty pieces. How about giving them all to Mother?"

Mrs. Zhou believed that Mrs. Zeng was sincerely treating Father Chu well, and she was sure that she would agree to the purchase of an official, so she went to sell the jewelry yesterday.

Zeng nodded, "Success."

Now the two of them already had forty gold leaves on their bodies, Mrs. Zeng went to Mrs. Sun and told Mrs. Sun about the matter of buying an official, Mrs. Sun worried, "Mother, is this unreliable? "

Zeng said, "Why is it unreliable? The government has posted notices, even if you really can't buy it, the money will be refunded at that time. Hurry up, take out all the money you have on you."

Mrs. Sun would not refute her mother-in-law's words on weekdays, and she didn't say much when she heard the words, and went to take out all the money on her body and handed it to Mrs. Zeng, "Originally, Achan's father gave me ten gold leaves, and these two I also handed over all the money that Achan's father brought back from hunting in three months, which is eleven gold leaves in total."

Zeng stared, "A-Chan can make some money every day by setting up a stall, so he should have earned a few gold leaves in the past two or three months."

Sun said, "Achan keeps all the money he earns from setting up a stall, and Achan buys the food and drink at home on weekdays."

Hearing Mrs. Sun's words, Mrs. Zeng was too embarrassed to ask Achan for the money, and returned to the room with only eleven gold leaves.

Mrs. Zhou was waiting in the room, and seeing that Mrs. Zeng had only brought back eleven gold leaves, she couldn't help saying, "Mother, my sister will never have only eleven gold leaves on her body. The thirty gold leaves back then, Yuan Lang I gave her ten pieces, Achan has earned a lot of money these days, at least seven or eight pieces, is it true that my sister is not willing to pay this money?"

Mrs. Zeng glared at her, "What are you talking about, A-Chan's money is used to subsidize the family, if you feel comfortable, you can talk to A-Chan!"

Mrs. Zhou said awkwardly, "Mother, don't be angry, I'm just talking, but there are still fifty gold leaves missing, but what can I do, I can't get them out of it."

Of course Zhou would not ask Chu Chan for this money, she still did it without telling Chu's father, if Chu's father knew about it, I'm afraid she would not agree.According to Chu Chan's temperament, if she knew that the family would spend a gold to buy an official, she might cause trouble to Chu's father again.

Mrs. Zhou stopped talking, Mrs. Zeng was also silent, and finally sighed, "Forget it, I'll come up with something for the rest of the money."

Now there are only 51 gold leaves on her body, which is almost half of the difference. Zeng has no choice but to pawn a piece of jade handed down by the ancestors of the Chu family.

The Chu family was considered to be a family a few decades ago, but there is not much left when it is handed down to the old man Chu. Over the years, many good things have been pawned, and only a piece of jade that is one foot high and half a foot wide is left up.

When life was difficult before, Mrs. Zeng never thought of touching it, and this would be a last resort. The jade was pawned with 45 gold leaves, so there are still four gold leaves missing. Mrs. Zeng borrowed some from the surrounding neighbors. That's enough.
