The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 115 Raising Money

Li Jiren was not yet forty, and spent the rest of his life paralyzed in bed. He was such a grown man that outsiders couldn't bear to hear it, let alone that they were of the same race and clan.

Therefore, without even a moment's hesitation, Chief Li decided to help raise money for Li Jiren to treat his illness. This would be the same for anyone in the clan.

But, that’s fifty pounds of silver! It's not five hangings. If you want to collect them all, each of the fifty-six households in the clan must provide one hanging.

But there are some families in the clan who simply cannot afford a pennies of silver, and their lives are still very difficult. But those who can afford a pennies are facing the Chinese New Year, buying new year's goods, and marrying a daughter-in-law. Nowadays, every family has somewhere to spend money, so they have to prepare money.

No, Li Yishan stated his position on the spot, and his family could scrape together five ounces of silver.

The clan leader also followed suit and made a statement.

There are ten hangings here, and the rest will come out after a squeeze.

After some discussion, the clan leader asked the Li Rongsong brothers to follow him and go back to beat the gongs to call a clan assembly to talk about this matter. The two brothers also had to come forward to make an IOU. Otherwise, how could the people borrow the money comfortably? Only when I have the IOU can I feel more at ease.

As soon as the gong sounded, everyone in the Li family thought they were going to gather to talk about the Wu family. After all, Chen Laizi was passing by when he came back from the market. He was chatting with Li Yichun's mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, and mentioned that the Wu family was smashed in the market. The whole village was talking about the stall.

Everyone knows that the Wu family just knelt down in the ancestral hall. Now that this happened again, I wonder what the clan leader will do with the Wu family?
When everyone gathered in the ancestral hall and listened quietly to the patriarch's words, they realized that what they were talking about was not about the Wu family!

Was it to borrow money to treat Li Jiren?
Can the doctors in Zhoucheng really cure this paralysis? Ouch, it costs fifty ounces of silver! This is a huge amount of money! In addition to farming, they farmed and used it for food, drink and chewing. They couldn't save so much for many years!
Then we really need to raise funds to borrow money. If we don’t raise money to borrow money, who can afford so much?

As for a good person, you can't let him be paralyzed for the rest of his life. If it can be cured, it must be cured!

Therefore, when the clan leader said that each family could borrow as much as they could, it would be calculated according to the amount of effort. No one said anything at the moment, and they all followed the clan leader's words.

borrow! Nothing to say!
But it’s a question of borrowing more and borrowing less.

Brothers Li Rongsong and Li Rongbai both bowed to express their gratitude to their uncles and asked Li Jizu to help them write out IOUs on the spot. The amount of money they received would be given to whomever they received.

After uniting their efforts, they immediately borrowed twenty-eight ounces of silver.

Brother Li Rongsong sent the clansmen away, collected a stack of IOUs, and came back to talk to Father Li and others who were talking about how much money was still missing: "The steward of the woodyard paid five ounces of silver at that time, and my mother has two ounces of silver in her hand." , a total of seven hangings, and there are still ten hangings to go.”

There are still ten hangings to go——

Father Li looked at his third and fourth sons. Needless to say, he knew that their pockets were cleaner than anyone else in the clan, and they still owed foreign debts for banquets and banquets.

All that's left is the second child.

Li Jihe also came to the rally. Before he came, he heard from Mr. Jiang who hurried back and learned what happened in the old house. He knew that Li Jiren's illness could be cured in Zhoucheng, and now he wanted to raise money. At that time, Li Jihe found Pomegranate. Let's discuss this.

Except for Li Jili, no one in the clan knew that their family got fifty taels of silver from selling the fructose recipe. Although they had fifty taels, no matter whether they were selfish or not, Shiliu would not borrow all the fifty taels of silver. from.

So as I told Li Jihe, they must borrow the money, but how much they borrow will depend on how much the clan has to borrow, and they will just raise the rest.

At that moment, Li Jihe heard that there was still ten ounces of silver left. This number was pretty much the same as what Shiliu said the family had. Calculating how much silver their family had, it just matched the number. He immediately said, "Pomegranate yesterday. I got three ounces of silver from selling this snack recipe, plus the delivery of a batch of goods from the wooden box, I added up all the money I had at home, and I just managed to get ten ounces of silver!"

Father Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and brothers Li Rongsong quickly bowed to Li Jihe and said thank you to their second uncle. Patriarch Li also breathed a sigh of relief and asked his son to help him write the IOU.

Li Rongsong took the initiative to ask Li Jizu to add the four ounces of silver, making a total of fourteen ounces of IOU.

Patriarch Li and the others nodded secretly as they listened.

After the IOU was completed, Li Rongsong gave it to Li Jihe, and Li Jihe asked Li Rongsong to go back with him to get the money.

When Mrs. Wu heard the news and knew that all the money had been collected, she arrived at Li Jihe's house first and waited. Seeking Mrs. Song's honesty, she had already pulled her and apologized in tears.

Mrs. Song was originally disappointed when she heard from Chen Qicai that Mrs. Wu had gone to sell snacks, but knowing that her sister-in-law was trying to earn money to treat her elder brother, she couldn't get angry anymore. When she saw Mrs. Wu bursting into tears, she He couldn't help but comfort him, telling Wu not to be sad. Since there is a doctor in the city who can treat it, my brother's injury is destined to be cured!

When Li Jihe came back and took the money, Mrs. Wu quickly thanked Li Jihe and his wife, saying, "Why don't you say that your brothers have broken bones and tendons! This kindness! We will remember it." It’s coming down!”

What she said was touching, but no one knew what she was thinking.

Having collected the money, naturally it is better to set off sooner rather than later. No matter whether the Chinese New Year is coming soon or not, even if you have to stay in the city to celebrate the Chinese New Year, this disease must be treated first!

This is a big deal!

It's just that none of them have been to Zhoucheng, and they can't even figure out the direction. It's really uneasy to go to see a doctor with so much money.

Patriarch Li was also worried about this matter. It was hard to get the money together, and it was his top priority to cure the disease safely.

But one more person also costs more, so don’t get too much.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that the steady and literate Li Jizu would accompany Li Rongsong to take Li Jiren to Zhoucheng for treatment.

Originally, it would have been more appropriate to let Li Jili go. After all, he often dealt with people in the city, but this year, when the customs were closed, Li Jili wanted to account for these things in front of the accountant, and he was afraid that he would be unable to leave and couldn't ask for leave, so he had to let Li Jizu go. .

After all, Li Jizu often goes to the city, so he is more suitable than others.

After deciding on the candidate, the next step is to decide when to set off.

While we were discussing, Pomegranate, who had been busy making snacks for most of the day, came to the old house and answered, "I am going to the city with my stepfather early in the morning. Brother, please come with me! I'm on the way." After a trip, when we arrived at Luoshui Pier, I asked my adoptive father to help find a boat and pack it up. You can take the boat directly to Zhoucheng, which will save you a lot of worry!"

After hearing Shiliu's words, everyone was curious about what she and Shopkeeper Ding were going to do when they went to the city, but they didn't ask any more questions. They just thought that Shiliu's proposal was a great one. Although taking a boat was certainly not cheap, taking a boat was faster than traveling by land. , and it also saves their worries. They have never been to the city and can't find the way. What if they take the wrong road on the road and they will be wasted!
It's better to take a boat. It's safe to ride all the way to Zhoucheng! No worries! No trouble!

At that moment, Li Rongsong also thanked the pomegranate gratefully.

Shiliu hurriedly said: "Brother, why are you so polite to me? We are all brothers and sisters whose blood is thicker than water!"

Father Li looked at it and was extremely pleased. All his children and grandchildren must live in harmony. If the family is harmonious, everything will be prosperous.
