Chapter 39: No Way to Borrow

When she returned home, Aunt Zhao was still waiting for news in her own home, Mao Yulong comforted her first, and then reported the results of her visit to the prison and the discussion with her master.

Hearing that the father and son were safe in prison, the Zhao family's aunt was overjoyed, but as soon as she heard that it would take 10,000 taels of silver to close the case, she fell into complete despair at that time.

Now the Zhao family is unable to sustain three meals a day, and they need the help of the Mao family, where did they get the 10,000 taels of silver? It was simply an impossible goal, thinking of the desperate place, Aunt Zhao cried bitterly at the desk.

The mother slapped the table and stood up: "Don't cry his aunt, I'll go to the head of the Shangfang clan to borrow money now, and I must rescue the two of them." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Mao Yulong's pull, and rushed directly to the house of the patriarch of Shangfang in a hurry, asking to see the patriarch.

The mother asked to see outside the gate, and after a while, the servant woman of the patriarch's family took Mao Yulong's mother into the second gate, turned the hall to shine on the wall, entered a small hall, looked up, but saw the patriarch and the lady two people seated, saw Mao Yulong's mother come in, and did not stand up, so she squinted her eyes and glanced at it, and then said lightly: "Wenkun's family is here, sit over there." Then he drank tea unhurriedly, and the patriarch's wife even pouted her mouth like 80,000 yuan, and faced it with white eyes.

After Mao Yulongniang squatted down to give a salute, half of her body sat on the chair by the door, and said to the patriarch: "The family of the big brother Zhao next door was sued, and the father and son were arrested and put in prison. His Zhao family's father and son are both in prison, and there is only one daughter-in-law left outside who can only cry, how can he cope with it? So I want to borrow a sum of money from the clan for emergencies. ”

Such a big thing as the Zhao family has long been spread all over the neighborhood, especially in this era when there is no entertainment, and it is a short topic of conversation among everyone's parents, and it is talked about, and the patriarch has long known about it.

But because of this, I hate Mao Yulong.

At the beginning, he personally came to the door to beg him to go to the Song family to intercede with his grandsons, but he didn't agree, but now for a neighbor with a foreign surname, he did not hesitate to go to the county government several times and do things up and down, which is really infuriating.

And last time, he instructed him to pass on several grandsons close to him under the name of Mao Yulong's mother, so that he would be exempted from conscription taxes in this life, of course, in the future, when Mao Yulong is developed, it is inevitable that there will be some family business, and some of them will be divided, so that several grandchildren will have no worries about food and clothing, at least after Mao Yulong becomes an official, can there be a borrowed background.

As a result, the kid refused directly, he really didn't listen to his own patriarch, and he didn't even take his own patriarch seriously, so he kept holding a grudge.

Now I see Mao Yulong's mother begging to come to her door, and I am very unhappy.

But at this time, a lady who said everything in the inner house changed her original contemptuous and disgusted face, and changed her smile, and her expressions before and after were simply like two people.

The patriarch's wife smiled and said to Mao Yulong's mother: "Wen Kun's family, it is said that the neighbors in the neighborhood are in trouble, and the four neighbors are also village rules and regulations, and it is also appropriate to help them. ”

The patriarch looked at the lady who suddenly became generous in surprise, and he didn't know which medicine was sold in her gourd, and he was about to open his mouth, but he saw that the lady gave him a look, so he swallowed his doubts and didn't say anything, waiting for her to follow.

Each family pays attention to watching and helping each other, so in each family, each family has to take out a little money every year and hand it over to the patriarch, once anyone in the family is in trouble, they will take out this money for emergency, of course, these money are not not repaid, which also has to be carried to give some interest, in order to continue to expand this emergency money, which is like the character of a certain fund in later generations.

Of course, this money has become a major source for the patriarch to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune.

The accumulation of the Mao family's two hundred years is not small, but how much it is is already a confused account.

The patriarch's wife continued: "I also heard about the amount to be paid by the Zhao family, which is a huge amount of money, but it is extremely risky to put it to his family, so I need you to make a guarantee." ”

Mao Yulong's mother understood, but it was important to save people, so she had to grit her teeth and admit it: "As long as you borrow this money, I will do this mediator." ”

The patriarch's wife smiled and said: "The Zhao family's mansion is going to be mortgaged, but the Zhao family's mansion is really not worth a few dollars, so you can also pledge your mansion and the few acres of land that your family is just going back to." ”

The patriarch suddenly couldn't help but be secretly happy for his wife to take advantage of it.

When Mao Yulong was studying, the clan took back the clan under the name of Mao Yulong's family, but after Mao Yulong was admitted to Xiucai, Mao Yulong's mother asked to go back again, which made the patriarch very painful. Now that the population of Jiangnan is multiplying, it is extremely difficult to buy land for expansion, and every inch of land is priceless. Not to mention that the current Mao family does not have a strong backstage, and it can't do that clever and robbing method, and even if there is, it is not very easy to get, so if the family wants to expand the land, they can only do it among the clansmen.

and the house of Mao Yulong's family is also very important. His family Ding Xingwang, seeing that this old house can no longer accommodate it, if you want to buy a new house in this place where every inch of land is expensive, the cost is absolutely astronomical, and it makes people feel trembling when they think about it.

Now it's okay, 10,000 silver will be lent out, and the two pickled fathers and sons of the Zhao family, as well as this widow, can't afford to pay it back no matter what. In this way, the land is in hand, the real estate is in hand, and there is a Zhao family, which is a cost-effective deal.

Hearing this condition, Mao Yulong's mother's face darkened,

This is the patriarch taking advantage of the danger of the people to fall into the well, once he borrows this money, his family will definitely go bankrupt immediately, and the family will squat on the side of the street with the Zhao family.

Originally, Mao Yulong and his mother also did their best in this matter, and they could completely let it go, but thinking about the Zhao family's care and help for their family in the past, and then thinking about the miserable face of Aunt Zhao, if they really didn't help themselves, then his family would be completely dispersed.

Thinking of this, the mother said firmly: "Okay, I agreed to this condition." Then he stood up and asked, "When are we going to go through the formalities?" ”

The patriarch's wife smiled and said, "Slow down, slow down, and listen to what I say below." ”

The mother was stunned, are there any other conditions?

The patriarch's wife said to the old god: "Last time, the patriarch begged you to pass on several descendants of the family to your name, which is actually a good thing, and it can be regarded as Yulong's child to bring his brother, but Yulong refused, I think this time I will agree." ”

The mother's head slammed, and one of them couldn't stand steadily, and sat down in the chair.

This patriarch not only wants to rob all his existing family property, but also robs his future son's inheritance, which is too greedy.

"I can't agree to this." In the end, the mother firmly rejected this unreasonable condition.

As soon as she heard that her mother refused this condition, the face of the patriarch's wife darkened at that time, and the several changes in face of this kung fu made the famous characters of Sichuan Opera embarrassed.

"Since you don't agree, the silver thing can only be done, you better think about it." Then he glanced at the servant woman who was standing outside, and immediately drove her out.
