Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 144
As soon as Mrs. Chen asked to borrow money, she couldn't stop, "I've thought about it many times, and this is the only way. Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, if you feel sorry for us and we are about to die, please lend us some money. Naturally, I will never forget your kindness in the future."

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang glanced at each other, feeling a little undecided. Mrs. Xu tentatively asked, "How much money does it cost to buy a cow?"

Chen's face was shining brightly, the pitiful helplessness just now was gone, but at this moment, she thought that there was hope, and she seemed to try her best to persuade them, "It doesn't cost much money, anyway, it's worth buying a cow." In the future, He will not need to go to other villages to do work for others. He will plow the land for the landlord’s family during the busy farming season, or help others pull things with a cart. Oxcart, the third brother’s craftsmanship is very good, and you can return it to you if you earn money. I heard from my father that this animal is very particular. If you buy a bad one, you will cheat the whole family. It’s better to buy it. A good one is not much, just eight taels of silver, plus Dehe’s waist bone needs to be treated, so I simply borrowed it all at once, ten taels of silver is enough.”

Wang thought she heard it wrong, and asked tentatively, "Ten taels of silver?!"

Mrs. Chen thought that she didn't borrow enough, "If the third sister-in-law still has spare money, she can borrow more from our Huahua. Anyway, Gu Yu can do this. I heard from people outside that your threshers will be shipped out in one day. There are two taels of silver, besides, we don’t pay back, we can get by in the future..."

Xiaoman was a little annoyed, "Fourth aunt, didn't you see? My mother and I embroidered these labors all day long, and each of us earned a few pennies a day. It was only ten taels of silver per mouth. Our family didn't If you run a bank, and you still have a big tile-roofed house, look where our family lives now, if we really have ten taels of silver, wouldn’t we build our own house to live in?”

Mrs. Chen seriously counted with Xiaoman, "Why not? A thresher costs fifty taels a day, so many of you are at least one tael a day, and the sum of early rice and late rice is at least four to fifty taels. With your three There are more than a dozen taels of silver for the four households. Besides, the embroidery work of you and your mother can be sold for a good price, and there are at least five taels of silver in a year. One tael or two taels is enough for the life of the farmers , After these two or three years, you have at least 50 taels, and I just borrowed five taels from you, it’s nothing, it’s like plucking a hair from that cow’s body!"

Xiaoman originally had a grudge against the people over there, but she has always had a thorn in her heart since she came home. Besides, why didn't she come to the door when the family was poor, but now she came to borrow money, and she wished she could do it. He rushed out with a stick, but he held back, "Fourth aunt, are you going to take care of us? It's not money for my brother to go to a private school, and it's not money for Gu Yu to go to town. My mother and I will not pay for these things after we embroider them." I know if I can sell it, and besides, if I live in my second uncle’s house, I can’t pay any money? The whole family doesn’t need money to eat, drink, and drink. The fourth aunt asked me to borrow it, but I was thinking of asking you to borrow it. !"

Chen's tut-tsk said straight, "You girl, you have a naughty mouth at a young age. Fourth aunt is discussing with your mother and the others. You are not the head of your family, so naturally you don't know."

At this time, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say, "If you say that our family is headed by Gu Yu, the amount of silver in the family is naturally clear. If you want to borrow one hundred and two hundred cash, you can barely make it up. No more, Jing Zhe is so big now, you haven't seen the matchmaker, I'm a mother who is in a panic, I don't even have a house, how can I get married, isn't it..."

As soon as these words came out, Jing Zhe and An Jinxuan entered the door with smiles, both of them had just heard the second half of the sentence.An Jinxuan pursed his lips and laughed, Xia Zhi rushed over to ask him to hug him.

Jing Zhe was a little stunned, thinking that someone came to kiss again, "Mother, what about getting married or not? Didn't you agree not to agree?"

Xiao He hurriedly explained to him, "Brother Jingzhe, you made a mistake, it's not marriage, Aunt Chen said she would borrow five taels of silver from your family to buy a cow. Gu Yuniang said that there is no money to build a tile house for you to marry. "

Originally a transparent person, both Jing Zhe and An Jinxuan understood after saying a few words.

Mrs. Chen was called poor again, "If I hadn't been driven to a dead end, I wouldn't be able to open my mouth, or you would lend me four taels of silver, and I would go to my mother's house to get some more, or I would have to go back to the river. I went to do some work and twisted my waist, so naturally I didn't need to spend so much on it, I just asked with the cheek, if it wasn't for the whole family, I wouldn't dare to say it."

After all, he still used Li Dehe's injury to win everyone's sympathy, Xu still shook his head, "I can't get out these few taels of silver."

Mrs. Chen was still working hard, but Jing Zhe said with a warm smile, "Fourth Aunt, why is Fourth Uncle's waist sprained? This is a big deal, and there should be no delay."

Mrs. Chen slapped her hands, thinking that she had found someone who understood, "Jing Zhe looked like he had studied, and the words he said were unusual, but that's not the case. It's just that we don't want to delay, but there is no other way. The early rice is about to be harvested. After that You have to plow the fields, rake the fields, and plant rice seedlings. Nothing is heavy work. Where did your fourth uncle do it? Just now, your mother and the others said they would hire someone to do it for our family. Yes, if the bad ones don’t drag you down for a few years, I think I can’t do heavy work, and there will be no problem with lighter ones, and it’s great to have a cow, and it’s convenient for both sides.”

An Jinxuan's face turned cold suddenly, without any warning, "You can't say that. Look at Uncle Quan's family, only Uncle Quan works alone. Although Aunt Wang and Xiaoman embroidered something, but I don't know how many clothes I have to help others throughout the year. You have troubled them too much, right? How much time do they have to embroider and make money? I won't say that much. Gu Yu's family still owes money to my second uncle. I owed it when I moved out. At that time, Gu Yu and the others ate and didn’t eat. The leather ropes of these threshing machines were all mine, and I didn’t give them any money. Besides, if they were shipped out, they would ruin the place all day long. Over there, earning those two pennies of hard-earned money, Aunt Wang, I am not afraid of being ugly. If there is any money to lend out, we must first pay back our old debt."

Gu Yu was a little bit amused when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jinxuan, don't worry, we still owe you five taels and 350 taels, I will remember it."

Wang Shi didn't open her mouth to speak, although she knew that Gu Yu and An Jinxuan were lying, but she really couldn't deal with Chen Shi.

Chen's complexion was extremely ugly, and she was panting a little anxiously, tears were about to flow out, "I am really miserable, and Dehe is really miserable. I thought it was my youngest son, but everyone loves me so much." If it really doesn't work, I have no choice but to suffer with my body, anyway, if I can't die, I can live a day."

Jing Zhe was still so calm, he thought more, he couldn't let the fourth aunt go out to gossip and gag her, so he just said, "Fourth aunt, don't worry about the frustrating things you didn't say, fourth uncle It'll be fine."

"Eldest nephew, you are the only one who knows better in your family. If it wasn't for your fourth uncle who got this disease, we wouldn't need to get to this point because of our couple's hard work. , nothing can be done..."

An Jinxuan said in a low voice, "I don't know who refused to go to the ground."

Mrs. Chen was still about to cry, which made Mrs. Xu open his mouth to promise something.

Jing Zhe panicked, "Fourth Aunt, I have a solution!"

Mrs. Chen shook her head, "What can you do, you are not the head of your family."

Jing Zhe smiled again, and pulled Gu Yu over, "Fourth Aunt, didn't you just say that if Fourth Uncle recovers, there will be no problem at all. I also think this is the best way. You forgot that Gu Yu in our family is not just Xi Is it a doctor? I have studied for so many years, and it’s not for this day. If there is something at home, just talk about it.” After speaking, he winked at Gu Yu, “Gu Yu, why don’t you hurry up and see how your fourth uncle is doing. "

Chen hurriedly refused, "This is impossible, Gu Yu is still so young, even after studying for two years, she can't diagnose diseases randomly."

Gu Yu didn't know anything about it, either, she just wanted to try it out, or the fourth aunt would say something nasty when she went out.

But Jing Zhe seemed to be sure of Gu Yu, "What's the big deal, Gu Yu just went to see, but don't worry, anyway, even if Gu Yu is not sure, she won't make a diagnosis anyway, no, there is her master. Miao The old man's medical skills are trustworthy. Besides, even if everyone pooled their money to buy Niu Sishu, wouldn't he still have to carry a sick body to work? Fourth Aunt is your heart, how can we be nephews? Let Gu Yu go first Take a look, if it’s not good, Mr. Miao will also go there, and we can always make up the consultation fee.”

An Jinxuan also came over to pull Gu Yu, "Gu Yu, it's time for you this time, so let your fourth uncle take a good look at it!"

That word is very important, Gu Yu came back to her senses, and saw that Mrs. Chen was frowning, but she was more anxious than when she said that she couldn't live, and she understood four or five points in her heart.Then he strode forward, "Fourth Aunt, I'm going to visit my Fourth Uncle right now!"

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang thought that there was absolutely no way to do it, and when they wanted to stop them, they saw that the children had already walked quite a distance, so they had to let Xiao Manwen and others watch Da Han and Xiao Han Xia Zhi, and the two chased after them.
