peasant family

Chapter 223 Why is Gong Lizheng ignoring us now?
150 taels of silver is a very considerable income for their family, but compared with other families in the village, this amount of silver is still small.

Because their family was poor, they didn't take good care of their navel oranges and orange trees. If they took good care of them, the selling price would more than double.

"150 taels of silver, our family doesn't have much after paying off the debt!" Han Yunqiao said helplessly leaning on a chair and looking at the navel orange tree in the field in front of the house.

Their family owed too much debt.

Dr. Cao's family already took up more than half of the medicine money, about 70 taels of silver.

It's all the medical money that Dr. Cao paid for their family's medical treatment. It's been several years, and their family hasn't paid it back. Instead, they owe more and more.

In the past, navel oranges and tangerines could be sold for a lot of money, but Han Zhengbei took them to honor Mrs. Han, so the family's debts were not repaid.

This year, since Mrs. Han is not at home, they can use the money to pay off their debts. Otherwise, they don't know how long it will take to pay off those debts.

Moreover, besides Dr. Cao's family, other relatives also owed a lot.

After paying off everything, only 150 taels of 20 taels of silver were left.

The 20 taels of silver are the last property of their family, and it will be used for the New Year.

Although their family is very poor, they have many relatives. During the Chinese New Year, why not buy some tobacco and sorghum wine to celebrate the New Year?The rest, they have to use next year.Buying seeds, fertilizers and so on, these are a lot of expenses, and they are all staring at 20 taels of silver.

"Second brother, shall we go hunting tomorrow?" Han Yunjing pulled Shen Qing to Han Yunqiao's side and said.

Han Yunqiao thought for a while, "Okay, I'll take the two of you to hunt tomorrow, and the elder brother will stay at home and help mother with work."

"Great, thank you, second brother!" Shen Qing was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Han Yunqiao raised her eyebrows, "Sister Qing'er, you are a girl, do you like hunting so much? Look at the girls in our village who are working at home and learning from women."

"Second brother, I'm still young. Don't you need to learn?" Shen Qing knows a little bit about female celebrities, but it's not as good-looking as Lu's.

Han Yunqiao smiled: "It's time to learn in two years!"

"Then let's talk about it in two years!" Shen Qing chuckled: "By the way, Second Brother, when we go hunting tomorrow, we must call Brother Youfu's father, Gong Lizheng."

Han Yunqiao was very suspicious, "Why did you call Gong Lizheng?" Han Yunqiao and the others didn't know Shen Qing's plan at all, so they asked this question.

Shen Qing went around in circles: "Brother Fu told us to call his father when we went hunting. As for why, I don't know. If the second brother wants to know, we can just ask Gong Lizheng early in the morning! "

"That's right!" Han Yunqiao didn't notice Shen Qing's hidden secret at all.

The next day, Gong Lizheng came to Han's house early, but he didn't talk to Han Yunjing and the others. After all, Liu Zhongtian in the village had a lot of dog legs. The matter of studying in Ning County.

Shen Qing was having breakfast at the time, and when they saw Gong Lizheng approaching, they speeded up their meal, packed up their bows, arrows, basket, kettle, sickle and a few sweet potatoes, and silently followed behind Gong Lizheng.

Han Yunqiao frowned: "Sister Qing'er, didn't you say that Gong Youfu asked us to find Gong Lizheng early in the morning? Why is Gong Lizheng ignoring us now?"

Shen Qing shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

But one can guess the reason.

"Ask Gong Lizheng later!" Han Yunjing said.

Han Yunqiao nodded: "If you catch up with Gong Lizheng, ask."
