After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 130

On the other side, the village chief was also sitting on the kang wheezing in anger.

Fang hurriedly poured him a bowl of tea, and persuaded him, "Calm down, don't hurt yourself because of irrelevant people."

The village chief slapped the table angrily and said, "Is this Lu Xiaozhu poor and crazy? Didn't he just go to Fucheng to take the exam, why did he ask his clansmen to contribute 100 taels for him? He thought he was going to Fucheng to enjoy his fortune?"

Fang also felt that Mrs. Lu's request was a little too much.

But this was brought up by the old patriarch accompanied by Mrs. Lu. In front of the old patriarch, the village head was too embarrassed to refuse too directly. He only said that he would help him find a way, but it might not be possible.

Hearing this at the time, the old lady Lu became anxious, and kept yelling that Lu Wufu was going to change the family of the Lu family in the future, how could she be so delayed?
If it's because they can't go to Fucheng because they don't have money, wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of the younger generations of the Lu family?

In short, what this old lady Lu said is how to benefit herself, how to say it.

Fang sighed and said: "Master, I see that the old lady is eyeing Daxiong's money, 100 taels! It's just that our clan's life is easier now, but just after the new year, how much money can anyone have?" Is there any spare money?"

"Huh! 100 taels? That old woman really dares to ask for it! Just wait, Da Xiong's family will not pay the money. Besides, Da Xiong has adopted Lao Han's family, so he is a relative who is several rooms away from Lu Xiaozhu and the others. Well, why should people help him?"

Fang said quietly: "But the old lady is too shrewd. If the money can't be collected and Lu Wufu can't go to Fucheng, then all the responsibilities must be shifted to Da Xiong's family. At that time, I'm afraid that people of this clan will feel resentment towards Da Xiong's family."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and replied: "This is what you can do as a cook when you are full! You have only had enough food for a few days, and you have forgotten who gave it to you?"

Fang's face turned blue with anger, and said angrily: "That's not what I think! Didn't I tell you the old woman's plan!"

The village head also knew that he shouldn't get angry at the mother-in-law, so he snorted, turned his head and continued to sulk.

In the evening, the village chief ate dinner sullenly, and after a while of delay, he walked slowly to Lu Laohan's house with his hands behind his back.

A face appeared from behind a big locust tree not far away, and said with a smile: "Mother is right, the village chief must find a way to ask Daxiong's family for money! Hehe, Lu Daxiong, I think you will return this time." Is there any reason not to give the money, this is not what we want, the village chief came to ask for it personally, I see if you dare say no to it!"

The one with the smirk was Lu Xiaozhu.

At this moment, it was confirmed that the village chief had entered Lu Laohan's house, so he went back leisurely.

The village chief looked at the family and couldn't speak, but he thought of the old patriarch's words during the day. He really didn't want to embarrass the other clansmen, let alone make Daxiong's family resented by the clansmen because of this.

The village head drank two cups of tea in a row, which explained his intention of coming.

Lu Daxiong nodded slightly: "I've heard about the fact that Lu Wufu won Tongsheng, and his ranking is relatively low. To be honest, if he goes to Fucheng to take part in the government examination at his level, the possibility of being a scholar is very small."

The village chief was about to say something when Lu Daxiong stopped him and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I didn't say this, it was said by some gentlemen in the county. I happened to go to the county to hand in official documents today, so I naturally listened to it." That said. However, Lu Wufu knows how good he is, and he wants to go to Fucheng to have a try, and we have no opinion, after all, it is his own future, and everything is up to him."

Only then did the village chief heave a sigh of relief: "You are right, this is his own future, and he is the one who decides."

"Uncle, our Lu family is relatively united. For so many years, our family has not produced a scholar, and we are indeed a little anxious. But it is a matter of using the strength of the whole family to help Lu Wufu to take the examination for a scholar. I don't think it's right."

Lu Laohan also nodded and said: "That's right, the village chief, I also think it's wrong. If our family can really have such a unity, then how could my little cow come back halfway when he was a good student at the beginning?" ? If he had continued to study back then, he would have been a child by now."

The village chief choked, and there was no way to answer these words.

Back then, Lu Laohan's family had a difficult life, and it was true that they didn't get much credit from the clan. Even if they borrowed food from the clan, they paid it back early the next year.

And after thinking about it, since Lu Hehua made the marriage arrangement, their family has never borrowed food from the clan, and Liu Dazhuang's family has always been helping.

Thinking about it this way, the village head felt hot again.

If he wanted to persuade Lu Daxiong to hand over the money, he couldn't say anything.

Chen Xingyan looked at a few people, and asked softly: "Village chief, I want to ask, this Lu Wufu is going to participate in the government examination, why did he ask his tribe to contribute 100 taels?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, obviously not wanting to understand what the problem was.

Chen Xingyan explained: "Uncle, I have asked people to inquire. The students in our county who are going to take the government examination usually prepare 50 taels, so I want to know why Lu Wufu is different. What about 100 taels?"

The village chief choked, but he forgot about it!

It's also because no one in their village has participated in the government examination for so many years, so he doesn't know how much it costs.

Hearing what Chen Xingyan said now, he immediately understood in his heart.

"What my niece and daughter-in-law said is that 100 taels is indeed too much. I'll ask someone to ask again. Even if it takes 50 taels, it's impossible for the clan to help him pay for it all. Their own family can't just leave it alone!"

Chen Xingyan nodded when he saw that the village chief had finally figured it out.

However, although Lu Daxiong was not willing to give the money, their family couldn't make it so clear.

"Village head, for the 50 taels of silver, it will cost about [-] taels of silver to hire a car and horse on the road. If you hire a few more skilled escorts, it will be even more expensive. How about it, Boss He from Fucheng and I will also It is quite familiar, and it is safe for Wufu to ride directly in He's carriage and follow their caravan, and it can save some unnecessary troubles, and there is no need to ask Lu Wufu to pay the money himself, you see how?"

The village head stared straight at it!
This method is also wonderful!
Anyway, it is common for the He family's caravan to come to Lu's village to collect goods, and this time it came and went, it was just by chance.

Moreover, the He family caravan was indeed escorted by more than a dozen men. With them, the safety along the way must be guaranteed.

The village head gave Chen Xingyan a thumbs up: "My niece and daughter-in-law are considerate! In this way, you have saved Wu Fu at least ten taels of silver. He must thank you very much!"

　go to work!The work that has not been completed before will continue!Come on, girls!In the new year, let's work hard together, I believe everything will get better and better!
