Xianggui

Chapter 56 Raising Money
Ding Zhuang didn't have any hope of going to the Tang family to borrow money.His son got into trouble and abducted his daughter.But now we are at the end of our rope and we must try our luck.

There is another thing that Zhaozi needs to do...

After Guo Liang left, Ding Zhuang said, "Don't scare the children, Li Chunniang took Xiangxiang and Li Ren to the East Chamber. Li Chun is the eldest son, so he must take responsibility and face this matter with us."

Ding Lichun straightened his small chest, pursed his lips and nodded.

Zhang felt that the sky above her head was falling, and went to Latin Liren and Dingxiang crying.

Ding Xiang didn't want to leave, so she climbed onto Ding Zhuang's knee and said tearfully, "Xiangxiang will not leave Master, Xiangxiang is very smart, and she will take the No. [-] female exam in the future. I want to hear and give advice."

Ding Liren didn't leave either, "Master, I'm going to be a Jinshi in the future, I'm smart, and I can come up with ideas."

Holding his limp body in his arms, Ding Zhuang couldn't bear to push it away, and carried Ding Xiang into the bedroom.

He put the cloves on the ground, opened the box, took out a large wooden box, and took out more than a dozen coins.

Ding Xiang thought that he would take the purse hidden in the corner, the jade inside it was of excellent quality, and if he sold it, he would definitely be able to pay off the debt.

But Ding Zhuang didn't take it, and went directly to the main room.Ding Xiang hugged his leg again and followed suit.

That jade pendant must be heavier than Grandpa's life, so he was reluctant to take it out.

Ding Zhuang put the big money on the table, and then buckled the box, which contained several deeds, bank notes and a few ingots of silver.

"This is the entire family property of our family. There are 140 six taels of silver at home, and deposits of twelve copper coins. The iron shop yard and stove, iron materials, and the cost of transferring the blacksmith's contract are worth about 300 taels. This The yard is worth more than 100 taels of silver, the [-] mu of land and the output in the field are worth [-] taels of silver, and the old cow is worth [-] taels of silver."

Fixed assets have to be appraised by a special person, and the price he said is not accurate.There is also the identity of a blacksmith. It is not that you can open a blacksmith's shop just because you know how to blacksmith, but you need to be approved by the government or transferred by the blacksmith.

Ding Zhao said, "I still have a private house with a few taels of silver."

Zhang Shi said, "I also have some private houses."

Ding Xiang said, "Xiangxiang has a private house, take it all out."

"We do too." Ding Lichun and Ding Liren expressed their views.

Several people went back to the house to get their private houses.

Ding Xiang ran to the south room to take out the big box, took out the three pieces of paper at the bottom and hid it in an old shoe, and put the shoe under the small couch.

A few months ago, Ding Xiang secretly made a simple quill out of goose feathers, wrote down the information on a piece of paper, and redrawn the portrait of Mama Li and the scene in her dream.

She took the box and went to the upper room.

Because Ding Chi and Ding Zhuang bought the few kinds of jewelry, Ding Xiang's private house is the most, worth dozens of taels of silver.

Ding Zhao and Zhang's private house had nine taels of silver and some big money, and Zhang also brought out some jewelry.

Ding Zhao gave Ding Xiang another embarrassed look, and he brought the seven little pearls too.

The excuse was, "When Xiangxiang was born, it was given by the old doctor Fang. This is Nanzhu, which can be worth more than ten taels of silver. Father is sorry for Xiangxiang, even took out this thing."

The little clothes are worthless, so I didn't take them.

Although Ding Xiang felt sorry for those few small beads, she also felt that it was time to take them out.

Ding Lichun and Ding Liren's private houses together only have a few tens of pennies.

Not counting jewelry, everything adds up to about five or six hundred taels of silver.Jewelry cannot be sold at the original price, it depends on how people estimate it.

The money borrowed from Jiaozipu is 200 taels, and the loan date is three days and a month away, and the interest is 36 taels of silver.A total of 230 Liuliang was owed.

There is still a shortfall of six or seven hundred taels of silver.Subtracting the 700 taels promised by the Guo family, there is still a shortfall of five or six hundred taels of silver.

The Tang family hates Ding Chi, so they don't necessarily borrow money, and they don't borrow too much.The other relatives are all poor, and the sum of the borrowed money will not exceed 20 taels.As for friends, Ding Zhuang and his son really haven't made any rich friends, so it would be nice if they could scrape together enough money.

How can I pay back so much money?
Ding Xiang was extremely frustrated, she, a time-traveling girl, had nothing to do at this time.

Perhaps it is possible to have a sweet dream and find Ding Chi and Tang's, but what's the use of finding them?If Ding Chi was beaten to death, he still had to pay back the money.

There was really nothing she could do to raise so much money in three days.

Paintings with different formats, the fingers are not flexible, and there is no place to sell them at a high price.Selling the pirated scripts, regardless of whether others treat her as a goblin or not, it is impossible to write a grand novel in such a short period of time, and a short story can't be sold for a few hundred taels of silver.Selling vegetable recipes, there are no raw materials at home, and parents will not buy them obediently...

I had to ask Mrs. Zhang to weave some different nets and sell them, but they were not worth much.

The money I can't pay back can only continue to borrow usury, and I will find ways to make more money when I have enough time in the future.

Seeing that his family had filled in all their belongings, and there was still so much money left, Mrs. Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly.

"Ummmm... It's over, this family is over. What should we do?"

The cry was extremely shrill, and Ding Liren also burst into tears.Ding Lichun held back his tears and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Ding Xiang didn't cry either, she buried her head in Ding Zhuang's arms.

She feels that sometimes the softest emotion can become the strongest force.Now only she can give grandpa the strength to let the patriarch lead the whole family through the difficulties.

Ding Zhuang patted his little granddaughter on the back, and comforted him softly, "Xiangxiang is not afraid, you will not suffer if you stand up to me with your father."

Ding Xiang couldn't bear it anymore, sobbing loudly.She pressed her face tightly against Ding Zhuang's chest, not letting herself cry.

Ding Zhuang coaxed, "Don't cry, I still have a trump card."

Several people choked on their cries and looked at Ding Zhuang.

Ding Zhao understood, and looked at his father sadly.

Ding Zhuang knocked hard on the bottom of the wooden box a few times, and then took down the wooden board underneath, there was actually a sandwich.

He took out a dagger from it.

The case of the dagger is cowhide, with a row of copper nails nailed on it, which looks very delicate.

Ding Zhuang drew out his dagger, and the light was cold.With a flick of his hand, the dagger flew out and stuck on the iron handle in the corner of the room.

Seeing that Tie Tuo was shot through, there were several exclamations in the room.

Ding Zhuang got up and went to pull out the dagger, there was a small hole in the iron grip.

Ding Lichun was startled, "Cut iron like mud, how could you have such a good thing?"

Ding Zhuang sat down, fixed his eyes on the dagger, and murmured, "When I was young, I got a small piece of good iron by chance. I spent more than a year secretly tempering it. , so I got such a good baby."

Ding Zhao also remembered his father hitting the dagger.At that time, his mother had just died, and Ding Zhao and Ding Zhuang lived in the iron shop.Ding Zhuang couldn't get rid of his longing for his wife, so he beat the iron, and sometimes he didn't sleep all night, playing ping-pong-pong all the time.

The neighbors were furious, but they didn't dare to provoke Ding Zhuang, so they let him fight day and night for more than a year.
