I don't know when the rain will start to fall again, Shen Qingqing likes the rainy season the most, but today's rain is quite like her mood, which makes people feel dull.

The paper in the forest was already densely written, and he read as he looked at it: "If we sell our glutinous rice factory, it will cost two thousand taels of silver, and some of our houses, plus the working capital in our hands, will only be three thousand taels at most." ”

Shen Qingqing hurriedly took out all the jewelry boxes and put all the jasper hairpins on the table: "What about these, how do these add up?" ”

Shen Qingqing was really in too much of a hurry, so he didn't speak through his brain at this time.

Lin Zhong put the jasper hairpin into the jewelry box again: "These are only a hundred taels at most, and it is just a drop in the bucket for 10,000 taels." ”

"What can I do about this?" Shen Qingqing sat on the chair, she closed her eyes, and the emotions that had just calmed down rolled again at this time.

What if Xiao Douding has nothing to do now, if they can't scrape together this ten thousand taels of silver, then Xiao Douding will still be in danger sooner or later.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's only enough to scrape together three thousand silver, it's not enough at all."

"Qingqing, don't talk nonsense, I don't blame you at all." Lin Zhong smiled and rubbed Shen Qingqing's head.

He didn't have the heart to care so much at this time, but just tried to comfort Shen Qingqing: "It's already good that a woman of yours can live like this, this ten thousand taels of silver is too much." ”

Yes, this 10,000 taels of silver is too much, I'm afraid Shen Qingqing has never seen so many taels of silver in his life.

And both of them were silent, not knowing what to say, only to hear the sparse sound of rain outside.

Yulian had already cooked the meal, but now no one had the heart to eat.

Shen Qingqing sat on the chair with his hands in his hands, his movements were extremely relaxed, but it was also a defensive gesture. She had been flustered for too much time just now, and she had missed too many opportunities, and she definitely had to calm herself down this time.

Half an hour passed, when Shen Qingqing opened his eyes again. Although I was still sad, I was full of confidence and vitality. The usual tenacity has returned to her.

"Anyway, now let's get together this 10,000 silver first, and then say that this little bean has been tied up, it must be my enemy."

"Could it be the Zhang family or your brother?" Na Yulian spoke beside her, and the only thing she thought of was these people.

Shen Qingqing shook his head: "Impossible, their group of people don't have that much courage." ”

Those few people are at most the scoundrels in the village, and the kung fu croaking on their lips is making them do something, and they have long been afraid of wetting their pants, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be a few of them.

But there's no point in discussing this now.

Lin Zhong stood up: "I'll go to the village first to see if the villagers have any silver taels in their hands, and if I can borrow a little, I will borrow a little." ”

"Yes, yes, the people in this village have always been blessed by Sister Qingqing, and now that we are in danger, they will definitely be able to come up with the money." Yulian also thinks this method is reliable.

When Lin Zhong and Yulian just walked to the door, Shen Qingqing didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "No." We still have a shortage of 7,000 taels of silver, and even if every family in the village lends us money, it is only a few taels of silver, and it is not enough. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what are we going to do now?" Yulian has always been too gentle, and she is anxious at this time.

After all, the unknown is the most terrifying.

After she finished speaking, no one answered her, Lin Zhong smiled, with bitterness in his smile, he touched his forehead: "There will always be a way, don't worry." ”

"I'm in too much of a hurry." Yulian whispered beside her, Yulian was the most heartless of the three, and she was calm at this time. Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong had no reason to lose their temper for no reason.

Shen Qingqing had already sorted out her emotions and took the package from the bedroom: "Lin Zhong, you and I go to the town, let's go to Zhen Qian and Master Liu to borrow money." ”

"That's right." Lin Zhong clapped his hands, why did he think of this idea.

The relationship with Master Liu and Shen Qingqing was good before, if Shen Qingqing had a problem, he would definitely help, and the two of them were big families in the town, and the two of them would definitely be able to make up the matter of the seven thousand people.

Just after the meal, there were not many customers in the restaurant, and Zhen Qian was standing behind the cabinet with calculations.

"I've made a lot of money today."

When he looked up, he saw Shen Qingqing, and he hurriedly put down the abacus: "Sister Qingqing." When did you come over? ”

He glanced at the forest next to him, she was the only one in the past, how could there be one more person today for no reason? Moreover, all today's glutinous rice products have been delivered, and there will inevitably be strange problems.

That Zhen Qian was a person who observed words and feelings, and when he saw Shen Qingqing's crying red eyes, he immediately asked the runner to vacate a room and invited the two of them over.

As soon as he sat down and poured a glass of water, Zhen Qian asked, "Qingqing girl, but what's wrong?" Did you encounter any difficulties? ”

Shen Qingqing's hands held the teacup, and only with hot water could he warm his cold heart: "I know it's very inappropriate for people to say this now, but I'm really desperate, can you lend me some silver?" ”

As soon as Zhen Qian heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "I thought it was a big deal, you can tell me how much money Qingqing girl wants to borrow." ”

Shen Qingqing looked up at him: "Seven thousand taels of silver." ”

"What?" Zhen Qian didn't expect Shen Qingqing to borrow so much money at first to be so happy, but when he heard this number, his body that had just stood up sat down again. "This seven thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, what are you borrowing so much money for?"

Shen Qingqing sighed and wanted to tell what had happened, but she was hoarse as soon as she spoke now.

Lin Zhong was next to her, patted her on the shoulder and said: "We don't know which enemy we provoked, this enemy kidnapped Xiaodouding and asked for 10,000 silver to ransom him, and we are also desperate, so we need so much money." ”

"That's not going to work." Zhen Qian put the teacup on the table. "Do you give him as much as he wants? This kind of thing is illegal, you should report it to the government. ”

This is everyone's first reaction, and Shen Qingqing has not thought about this choice, but this little bean is still in the hands of those lawbreakers, and he will never dare to take this risk.

"Boss Zhen, you are also a father of children, you should know what kind of mood this kind of, I just want to save Xiaodouding now, give him this 10,000 taels of silver. But what if I report to the government and anger those kidnappers, what should I do if Xiaodouding still has three long and two short? Shen Qingqing calmed down and said word by word.

Zhen Qian is decisive in doing things, but he is helpless in the face of such things.

Shen Qingqing stood up: "Boss Zhen, if you don't have any money, I won't embarrass you, I'll go to other places first." ”

"Wait a minute." Zhen Qian sighed, and his hands touched the table as if he was pondering something. "Sister Qingqing, I can help you, but I can't take out seven thousand silver at once. My restaurant still has running water to operate, and if I give you all the money at once, then my restaurant will probably go out of business. ”

This is the truth, Shen Qingqing nodded: "Boss Zhen doesn't matter, you can take out as much as you can, I will definitely not forget this kindness." ”

Zhen Qian waved his hand with a righteous attitude: "What to say, we have been working together for so long, we should know each other very well." ”

Zhen Qian said and went to the back account room to take the account book, and calculated for a while before he spoke: "I can pay you 1,500 taels of silver now, you can use it first, and you can pay it back at any time, but I can't take out any more." ”

Zhen Qian is willing to help them, which is already good, and the 1,500 taels of silver is not small, I am afraid that Zhen Qian has already moved the water.

If Shen Qingqing said anything else, it would be too wolf-hearted.

She took the 1,500 taels of silver in Zhen Qian's hand with great gratitude, and when the two of them left Shilixiang Restaurant, they didn't know where to go like a lost dog.

There were many wealthy families in the town, but few could lend her such a large sum.

Na Lin Zhong sighed and said, "Let's go to Master Liu's house and have a look." ”

"Okay." Shen Qingqing nodded, and the two of them went to Master Liu's mansion again.

The family members in Master Liu's house were already very familiar with Shen Qingqing, and they just said a word or two and let the two of them in.

It was not Master Liu who greeted them out, but the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was very happy when he saw Shen Qingqing: "Why is Qingqing so idle today to visit our house?" ”

Shen Qingqing didn't want to talk to him so much, and directly told the matter.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper paused: "I didn't expect such a big thing to happen." But Qingqing girl, you ask for too much money, my lord is not at home when he is out, I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back, and I don't dare to move such a large amount of silver, look at this ......"

The housekeeper is also a cheerful person, and he will not shirk Shen Qingqing if he has anything.
