Chapter 4 Who to borrow money from

When the old man said this, he wanted several sons to jointly bear the five hundred taels of silver.

"What else can I raise? Isn't our family's money all in the hands of my father and mother?" Lian Shouli said honestly. The Lian family is in charge of the old man and the old lady, and their sons don't have a single eldest son.

Five hundred taels of silver are not a small amount, and the Lian family can be described as losing everything. Mr. Lian seems to be a cautious person, so why did he make such a decision?

Speaking of which, the old man from the Lian family is a legendary figure in this village.

The ancestors of the Lian family are no longer able to take the exam. Mr. Lian really started from scratch. He had no parents at a young age and had to go out to be an apprentice. Because he was diligent and loyal to others, he had a good reputation in the store. He was also an ambitious person, with a flexible mind, studious and particularly motivated. When other apprentices were lazy and stumbled, he quickly practiced abacus well and quietly made a good handwriting. No one knew the hardships of this, and in the end he became the shopkeeper of a big shop.

After more than 20 years of work as a shopkeeper, even the old man saved some money. However, in his mind, these things were ultimately cheap, and farming was the foundation. After he had accumulated enough money, he quit his boss and moved back to the village, bought a house and bought land, and devoted himself to supporting his sons to study, hoping to change his family.

Even the old man was willing to use his capital to support his sons in school. Finally, the eldest son of the Lian family passed the scholar exam when he was twenty years old. Even the old man was ecstatic and supported his eldest son with all his strength. It was just that God was willing to do anything. Since then, the eldest son of the Lian family failed several provincial examinations, and even the annual exams were all ranked in the middle. The second son of the Lian family studied with the eldest son of the Lian family, and he spent a lot of money, but even the scholar was unable to pass the exam. He didn't like studying at first, but later he simply lost his studies completely.

At that time, the Lian family had already had a large population, and only some of the farm households were produced in the fields. The eldest and second brothers of the Lian family were casual. After the old man Lian sold a few pieces of land for the eldest brothers of the Lian family, the situation of the Lian family became dim. When he arrived at the third and fourth brothers of the Lian family, he recognized a few words in the private school in the village and came back to work as a farmer.

Even so, even the old man still thinks that the eldest son is the seed of studying and will one day win.

He became an official and a magistrate in the imperial examination. Although there was a gap between them, he finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish. In addition to feeling sorry for his eldest son, the old man finally made this decision.

Lian Shouren, Gu and Lian Huaer were sure of Mr. Lian’s weaknesses.

"How much money do we have in our family now?" Mr. Lian asked Zhou.

"Only the twenty taels that everyone brought back, and the few taels of silver we had in the box, can make up for up to forty taels," said the old lady Lian.

The difference between forty taels and five hundred taels is too big.

"Dad, Yang Chengfeng is waiting in the town, and he will have it tomorrow." Lian Shouren whispered.

"There are only thirty acres of land in the family." Old Master Lian sighed.

Is it a matter of selling land? That's the lifeblood of a family.

"Dad, the big brother should pay the money himself!" Lian Shouyi said.

"Second brother, we don't have a family, what are you and mine?" Lian Shouren said.

"Then isn't it necessary for Mr. Song to marry Huaer?" He turned his eyes and came up with a good idea. "Huaer, tell Mr. Song, isn't it just five hundred taels of silver? It's a big deal for us. It's enough for him to leak a little in his fingers. Huaer, a big daughter of yellow flowers, isn't it worth five hundred taels of silver?"

He's words were vulgar, and even Hua'er's face turned red with shame.

"Second Aunt, I asked for money from his family before I got married. Can I still raise my head in his family in the future?"

"You shouldn't show off when you're afraid that you can't raise your head, so you shouldn't show off and smash someone's jade pendant." He never suffered any loss and immediately fought back.

"You..." Lian Huaer was embarrassed and angry, and turned her head and lay in Lian Xiu'er's arms and started to whimper.

"My mother said it's right. Brother, you have lived in the town over the years, and you have the rice from scholars and the money for building a restaurant. But you haven't gotten back a penny. None of your nephews can eat enough for you. How much money you earn every year will give you more tea and drinks. You always say that you can wait for school to let your brothers and nephews enjoy your happiness. We haven't enjoyed the blessings, but more than half of the land at home is sold. If you sell the remaining acres, you will go and drink the northwest wind." Lian Shouyi said with a smile.

Lian Shouyi's words aroused the new and old hatreds of He's family. The old man's family was calculating and asked her to help speak and sell Lian Man'er, so she gave her and her daughter a piece of clothes, but these two clothes were not as valuable as Lian Xiu'er. If Lian Man'er hadn't reminded her just now, she would have been fooled by the old man's family again.

What's the point of benefiting from it? The eldest family has said less, and when will it be fulfilled? The vixen Gu always wants to send her away with three or two dates.

"Oh, this is a life-threatening." He suddenly clapped his palms and howled, "Five hundred taels of silver, you don't want to ask for the rich ones, you have to make a heartbreaker, and you want to sell the land. You might as well tie up our mothers and girls together to sell them. Flowers and girls are so valuable, Erlang and others are not his grandchildren, they were raised by me by stealing people, and no one feels sorry for starving to death..."

Lian Man'er was stunned again. The first time she saw such a tantrum.

"Erlang, Sanlang, Silang, Liulang..." He called a string of names. She was the daughter-in-law with the most male grandchildren in the Lian family. She was usually very proud of this. "You are heartless, where have you gone? If you don't come back, we will be forced to death by your uncle's family. The eldest brother and sister-in-law's family have married a wife and have children. Our eldest brother and sister-in-law are old enough to get engaged. In order to give you all the money, he has not married a wife yet..."

He cried louder and louder, and Shouren and Gu's faces became darker and darker.

"Second, let your wife shut up." Mr. Lian shouted, "Who said that the land was sold, that land would not be sold."

Even when the old man said this, he didn't have to talk to Shouyi, and He stopped crying immediately.

"Dad, where does that money come from?...borrow money?"

"Or what if I borrow it from my elder sister? I heard that her grocery store can earn several taels of silver a month." Lian Shouyi said immediately.

"Who did you hear?" Zhou said sternly, "Your elder sister's life is tight, and there is no money. If you dare to attack your elder sister's family, I will break your legs."

Lian Shouyi said in a vague manner that he dared not say that he would borrow money from his elder sister.

"If you have a place to borrow, my mother doesn't let you go. So I'd just send the flowers to the Sun's house and ask for hundreds of taels of silver." He said.

Lian Huaer covered her face and hated He Shi in her heart. But at this time, she didn't dare to be too close to He Shi Shi. She knew that He Shi's temper would be ignored and give them clothes and ask her to help her sell Lian Man'er for money, and then everything would be over.

"Dad, my elder sister doesn't let her go, so I can only borrow it from Lao Jin." Lian Shouren said.

"Old Jin!" Lian Shouxin, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head, "Brother is the old Jin at the east end of the village!"

Lian Man'er exclaimed in her heart, "Who is Lao Jin?" The honest Lian Shouxin was so excited.

****

Everyone had a sharp eye and suddenly it was obvious that the heroine's parents were two big buns. The main thing was to live a happy life and first of all, they had to transform the buns. By the way, Ruoyan wanted to use "**Bun**" as the name of the novel at the beginning, but she was killed, hehe.
