Chapter 128 Borrowing Money

 When it came to playing the game, everyone was silent.

Boss Zhang was still injured. He was leaning on the mule cart and struggling to ask Gu Zhang, "Brother Gu, how do your family plan to enter the city?"

 Everyone looked at Gu Zhang.

 His family is rich, that’s for sure.

Let’s not talk about how much money Xiao Fei took home. Mr. Su just gave him one hundred taels not long ago. His family can enter the city no matter how much money they spend.

Gu Zhang said after a while: "I don't know either. Let's discuss it first. We will rest here today. Maybe we can find other ways."

The village chief took out the dry cigarette and lit it, took a deep puff, and said to his family: "I think we'd better find someone to register a household, and maybe we can get away with it."

"Even if you can't get through it, at worst you'll get beaten up and you won't die even if you're beaten ten times."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest daughter-in-law Jin Feng shouted, "Dad, how can this work? We can't compare to you men. If we really take off our pants and hit the boards, how can we survive!"

Hongxia, the second daughter-in-law, also said: "Yes, dad, this is not safe. If we find out, everyone in the family will be in trouble. There is not even a medical center outside the city, so I'm afraid I won't be able to survive!"

The village chief frowned and said, "What should we do? Our family needs eighty taels of silver to enter the city, and this is not eighty taels!"

Eight taels of silver, he gritted his teeth and got out.

“Our family doesn’t have that much money!”

Aunt Liu didn't say anything. She took all her family's belongings with her. There was less than seventy taels of silver left in total. This was the accumulation of several generations. It was not enough even if she wanted to enter the city.

Every household gathered here at this time. After hearing the conversation at the village chief’s house, everyone was worried about what to do!

At this time, Boss Zhang, who was leaning on the mule cart, suddenly said: "Brother Gu, I, I want to ask you to borrow some money."

Gu Zhang smiled bitterly. He had a lot of money. The one hundred taels given by Mr. Su was considered family money. The rest was Xiao Fei's money. He couldn't borrow Xiao Fei's money.

Seeing that Gu Zhang remained silent, Boss Zhang struggled and said, "Brother Gu, I know you are in trouble, but I have figured it out. This city must be entered."

“The road has become such a mess. I can’t go back to my hometown. Even if I go back, I won’t be able to survive!”

"I still have a carriage at home. When I get to Donghai County, I will sell the carriage and return it to you. I can sell my carriage for twenty or thirty taels of silver no matter what."

The village chief said in surprise, "Boss Zhang, your family of five requires fifty taels of silver to enter the city. Are you willing to give it up?"

Boss Zhang gave a bitter smile, "So what if you can't bear to leave? Haven't you seen it yet? There is no way to survive in these counties. The only way to survive is to enter this city and go to a place where there are no victims!"

“No matter how important money is, it is not as important as life!”

These words fell on everyone’s ears and they all started thinking.

  Yes, there are not many people who died along the way. As long as people live, they can earn more money.

The eldest uncle nodded at this time: "That's right, people must live first!"

“Besides, I heard that people in Donghai County are extremely rich, and money is definitely easier to earn than here. As long as you are diligent and willing to endure hardship, you can survive.”

This is true. Donghai County, south of Yunjiang, is commonly known as Jiangnan. It has a pleasant climate, rich products, and a large concentration of salt merchants. It is the most prosperous place no matter what dynasty or generation it is.

At this time, Gu Zhong hurriedly said, "Second brother, my family doesn't have enough money to go to the city. Lend me twenty taels of silver. I will write you a note. When we get to the place, I will sell the mule cart to pay you back the money."

He was worried that every household would ask Gu Laoer to borrow money, and it would be too late if he didn't ask.
