After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Chapter 47 Borrowing Money
Ying Bao hugged A Niang tightly, rubbing her head against her chest.

Fortunately it was a dream.

Thankfully it's back again.

Chun Niang patted her daughter's back, and said softly, "Bao'er, are you hungry? It's already noon, and you've been sleeping so deeply that A Niang can't even wake you up."

Ying Bao nodded, "I'm hungry."

"Then mother, go and bring the lunch, you go wash up quickly," Chun Niang said.

"Yeah." Ying Bao turned her head and saw her two younger brothers, who were sitting beside her and squinting at her with their fingers.

Let go of A Niang, ran to the two younger brothers, stroked their round heads, and said with a smile: "Xiaojie, Dawu, can my sister teach you to read later?"

Xiaojie took his finger out of his mouth, wetly patted the young lady's approaching face, and let out a cry, as if answering.

Xiao Wu suddenly turned his head, slapped the little brother's forehead, and even grabbed the little brother's chubby hand and bit it.

"Oh, why did Xiao Wu bite my brother?"

Ying Bao hurriedly hugged Xiao Wu away.

Xiao Jie burst into tears and raised his bitten hand to complain to A Niang.

Chunniang couldn't laugh or cry, touched Xiaojie's little hand, and even blew, "It's okay, Xiaojie doesn't hurt. Xiaowu is playing with brother."

Xiaojie rubbed his eyes, and sure enough he stopped crying, and still crawled over to sit with his younger siblings.

Ying Bao nodded Xiao Wu's forehead, and said softly: "You can't bite brother in the future, you know?"

Xiao Wu blinked, threw himself into her sister's arms, and turned her head to stare at her brother Xiaojie, and quietly kicked him with her little feet, trying to kick him away from her sister.

...

Jiang Sanlang lay on the kang for two days, drank medicine on time every day, ate steamed eggs made by his little girl, and soon jumped up and down, even removing the cloth wrapped around his head.

Now is the busy season of farming, the wheat in the dry fields needs to be harvested, the seedlings in the paddy fields need to be transplanted, and the fields on the other side of the Nanshan Mountains also need to sow millet.

At this time, even the donkey of the village Zheng's family was exhausted and paralyzed.

Yingbao is also busy recently, taking care of her younger brother so that her parents can work in the field with peace of mind.

In addition to taking care of her younger brother, she also had to find time to cook for her parents, and also steamed a bowl of custard for her younger brother to supplement nutrition.

And the things in the cave can only be done at night.

The seeds bought from the shopkeeper have all been planted in the cave, just waiting to germinate.

She took special care of the Fanbang seeds and planted them alone in the black soil by the pool.

And those thirty golden ears seem to have really mutated, not only did not collapse, but grew bigger and bigger, crystal clear and golden in color, very beautiful.

As for the three piles of grain that had been harvested before, they still hadn't all threshed. Yingbao decided to wait for his own wheat to be transported to the threshing ground, then quietly release the Dongfu wheat, pile it with the family wheat, and thresh together.

Yuan Bao's school is also closed for farm holidays.

He and Huzi often come over to play with the little cousin, and occasionally get the approval of the little cousin, and can ride Yoyo for a long lap in the village, attracting countless envious eyes.

Xiaojie and Xiaowu were also very excited to see Yoyo, and kept crawling forward.

Yingbao then found two small back pans, tied them with ropes, and placed one on each side of Yoyo's back. He also fixed the back pans and the leather saddle together so that they would not wander off.

Then put the two younger brothers into a basket each, and let her lead them around for a walk.

Xiaojie Xiaowu was so happy that he grabbed the edge of the basket and looked out, giggling non-stop.

Huzi looked greedy, and kept pulling Yingbao, he also wanted to sit in the back basket.

Helpless, Yingbao had no choice but to put the two younger brothers in the same basket, and let Huzi stay on the other side.

Then a strange scene appeared in the village. A two-year-old female doll was leading a big deer, with two panniers hanging on both sides of the deer, and three male dolls were sitting in the back pans, one of which was obviously bigger than the female doll.

The big deer was surrounded by several children, staring at Huzi and Xiaojie Xiaowu enviously.

The master shook his head and sighed when he saw it.

The world is going down, yin is flourishing and yang is declining.

What happened to these children in the village, why do they always circle around a little girl doll?

A few days later.

The wheat in the village has basically been harvested, and some have been threshed, leaving only the sun-dried grain.

In the past few days, Lizheng has brought people over to check it out, and announced that this year's tax will be increased by [-]%.

The villagers complained, but there was nothing they could do.

As a result, many village households rushed to dry the wheat, hoping to transport the grain out and sell it as soon as possible in exchange for more money.

Because the imperial court is currently implementing the two-tax law, which is to collect taxes according to the number of acres of land, and convert the tax and grain into silver money for collection.

Therefore, the common people had to sell their food before they could pay taxes.

This means that the grain market will be rapidly saturated after the summer harvest, and the price of grain will be greatly suppressed by wealthy merchants.

Therefore, people must sell the grain before the price is reduced, so as to minimize the loss.

The wheat of Jiang Sanlang's family has also been harvested, and they are drying on the threshing floor for a day or two before threshing.

But he was not in a hurry, anyway, his family had money to pay taxes, and he didn't intend to sell the grain he collected this time.

Didn't Uncle Chen say that the price of grain will definitely increase this winter, so not only does he not sell grain, but he also wants to buy some from other villagers and store it.

Of course, I won’t buy too much, as long as I can be rich enough for a year.

Just as he was turning over the wheat, he suddenly saw Chen Ergou and his wife from Xichen Village running towards him. He knelt down to Jiang Sanlang, crying and begging:
"Sanlang, please, please go to the county seat to intercede for my donkey, woo woo woo..."

Jiang Sanlang was startled, he quickly stepped back to avoid it, and said coldly: "Could it be that you are looking for the wrong place."

Chen Ergou walked forward on his knees, and said with snot and tears:
"Sanlang, it's because my donkey is bad, I shouldn't have listened to that damn Chen Shisan, but you have nothing to do, can you go to the county master and tell me to let my donkey go, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I beg you…"

Jiang Sanlang was speechless, and said angrily: "What do you think is wrong with me?"

He lowered his head and pointed to a large bald scar on the top of his head: "Are you blind? Who caused this large scar here?"

Chun Niang also said angrily: "My husband was almost killed by your family's Chen Lv'er, and you said nothing happened?"

Chen Ergou's small eyes flickered, and he thought to himself that you are alive and kicking now.

He blew his nose and cried, "Then... can you lend me some money, I... I can redeem my son."

Although his son committed a crime, he is not yet old enough. The county master said that as long as his family pays 50 taels of silver, he can redeem his son back home.

If the ransom is not paid, Chen Lv'er can only be kept in the county government jail.

But how can he have 50 taels of silver, and the family can't even get a hundred coins.

In the past few days, he has borrowed all over the village, but no one is willing to borrow money.

When many people saw him coming, they quickly closed their doors and closed their doors, refusing to answer their endless calls.

Later, it was Chen Laoshuan who told him that Jiang Sanlang of Dongcun was already healed, he was alive and kicking, and he didn't look like he had been seriously injured.

And Jiang Sanlang got 15 taels of compensation that day, 15 taels, it was the hard-earned money of the people of Xicun.

Chen Laoshuan also gave him advice, saying that Jiang Sanlang's family grows some kind of gold, and there are enough leaks in the hand seam for 50 taels, you go cry and beg, that old man Jiang wants to save face the most. Just borrowed it.

Jiang Sanlang was almost laughed at by this guy, "Why do you have the guts to borrow money from me? Who gave you face?"
