Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 130 Borrowing money to go to the city

The village chief over there pulled Aunt Liu and said, "Do you really want to borrow it? Why don't you get a household registration? Maybe you can get through."

Aunt Liu shook off his hand and said, "You tough guy, is this the time to worry about money?"

"If we are really discovered, our whole family will have to be beaten. If we are beaten, we will definitely lie down. Look at the people around us. Do you think our family's food will be able to be saved by that time?"

“Not only will our money and food be robbed by others, but our grandchildren may also be captured and sold. As for us, we will either starve to death or die of pain!”

The village chief thought of the tragic situation described by Aunt Liu, and nodded helplessly, "Okay, let's borrow it. Alas, running away will ruin all the family's wealth. If I had known better, I wouldn't have come out."

Aunt Liu glared at him, "Aren't you going to come out?"

"If you don't come out, someone will definitely come to our house to steal food. Do you believe it?"

His family is one of the richest in the country. If those people have nothing to eat, won’t they steal and rob them?

Have you seen anything less along the way?

The village chief sighed, "Same."

He waved his hand painfully, "Go and borrow it. Alas, I don't know when I can pay it back."

Gu Zhang used a wooden board to write the documents, but there was no ink pad, so everyone rubbed some ink on the edge of the inkstone and made fingerprints.

The village chief's family borrowed thirty taels. A smart person like Aunt Liu knew that opportunities were rare, so she would be better off if she could borrow more.

Gu Zhong borrowed twenty taels, Shan Zima borrowed ten taels, and Mr. Zhang borrowed thirty taels.

 My aunt's family borrowed thirty taels.

Gu Rong also borrowed thirty taels.

Su Chen borrowed one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and Zhang Ze took back a stack of IOUs.

Handing the banknote, everyone looked at Gu Zhang and a new question arose. To whom should the money be handed over? How should it be handed over? Is it safe?

Uncle Ma said in a deep voice: "Get on the car and rush to the city gate. Since everyone has decided to enter the city, don't delay. It may not be safe here at night without officers and soldiers."

This is also the case. Some of the victims around them are staring at these mule carts eagerly, but there are so many officers and soldiers at the moment that they dare not take action.

Uncle Ma added: "Every family will hand over their banknotes to Mr. Gu according to their heads, and everyone will go into the city together."

The newly received banknotes were handed over to Gu Zhang one by one before they were warmed.

Gu Fei also took out one hundred and twenty taels and gave them to her father.

Gu Zhang worked carefully and brought the household registration of each family. The banknotes and household registration papers of each family were put together.

Hatching up the cart, everyone walked through the pile of victims and walked to the city gate.

Seeing so many people and cars arriving, the officers and soldiers who checked household registration at the door cheered up.

The village chief and his family were walking in front. Gu Zhang smiled and handed the household registration paper to the officers and soldiers, flipping it up slightly with his fingers to reveal the banknotes underneath.

 Officials and soldiers are very sensitive to banknotes.

Had it not been for the money, they would not have been willing to guard the city gate and do this hard work.

Of the money collected, those with high positions would get the big ones, while the big-headed soldiers guarding the side could only get the small ones.

The officers and soldiers pretended to look at the household registration, but they were actually looking at the number on the bank note. A soldier nearby had already nodded the heads and shouted: "Nine people."

The officer nodded and counted the silver notes. It was exactly ninety taels of silver. He quickly took out the silver notes and put them in his sleeves. He returned the household registration to Gu Zhang and shouted, "Pass-"

Gu Zhang handed the household registration to the village chief, and the village chief and his family quickly passed through the city gate.
