Chapter 222: Li Zheng came to borrow silver
Tang and Rou were knocking on the door, but no one answered the door in the house, thinking that the young lady and Dou'er were probably at Orion's house. Hearing Zhao Li say this, he looked back at him suspiciously, and said "um".
There's no way to hide this.
She did make a lot of money in Yuncheng, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to afford to build a house. She also has silver in her hand now, and she just boasted to those mothers-in-law. Others may be false, but this silver has indeed been taken out and displayed in front of the villagers, and at this time, you can't directly say that you have no money.
Moreover, as long as she went to Yuncheng and inquired a little, she knew that she was doing business with Fumanlou, and what she could make the prince eat would never be very cheap food.
However, she has never mentioned the real profit of mochi in front of others, and it is not really exposed to the details.
After Li Zheng asked this, his face was solemn, and he didn't speak for a long time, and his old face was full of deep sorrow.
Grandpa Zhao is the fairest old man in the village, and he has helped her a lot before, and he has never been stingy with food and drink at home, and selling it to Tang and Rou's sisters and brothers is also the cheapest price.
Tang Yourou had a good impression of him, but he was also worried about what happened to his family, so he took the initiative to ask, "What is Grandpa Zhao's troubles?" ”
Zhao Li was holding his hand, bowing his head and sighing: "There is one, but I really can't look down on the old face, so I asked you a little girl to borrow silver." ”
Tang Yourou suddenly asked, worried, "But what happened?" ”
Zhao Lizheng said: "It's not my personal matter, but it's a winter festival in a few days." Originally, your name was crossed off the wooden wall of the Tang family ancestral hall, so you shouldn't have asked for it. But the Tang family has recently ...... Alas......"
The Tang family has a genealogy, but there is another strange thing in the village, which is a wooden wall, which can barely be called a village tree. In the past few years, many new displaced people have grabbed the land in the village and picked the fruits from the barren mountains. The people who originally lived in the village had a sense of crisis, so they put together a large wooden plank and wrote the names of these "aborigines" on it, originally planning to blackmail Li Zheng to divide several rich mountains and only let the villagers with names on these wooden planks go in and pick.
And when you have contributed to the village, you can leave your name on this big plank, and if you have committed adultery, you will cross out your name.
Of course, Li Zheng disagreed.
This kind of boring thing is comparable to the little red flower given by the kindergarten teacher, who is good will praise whom, but it is sent by the mother-in-law at the entrance of the village, and many outsiders in the village find that the old people in the village are complicit, and they don't take it very seriously.
Since the last time Tang and Rou and Tang Feng broke up, Mrs. Tang always went to the ancestral hall to make trouble, asking them to get the names of Tang and Rou's sisters and brothers off this plank together, which was meaningless, just a boring act to vent anger.
The clan elders were very annoyed, and entrusted Li Zheng to pass a message to Tang and Rou, and Li Zheng of course said it euphemistically.
But even if he wasn't tactful, Tang and Rou didn't care about this kind of thing at all.
She didn't even bother to despise this kind of boring evaluation, and at that time she complained to the young lady Dou'er, she had only heard of the inscription on the ancestors' board, which caused the young lady Dou'er to laugh out loud.
This winter festival is held every year, that is, we go to the tablet of the Tang family ancestral hall to worship and offer something. It's similar to the winter solstice Qingming that Tang and Rou experienced in their previous lives.
The only difference is that the winter festival in the village is more solemn, and the offering table must be set up in the east of the village, and the offerings must be placed. To buy an offering, you have to ask for silver.
In the past, this money was paid by the Tang family themselves, but this year, several Tang families spent all the money in order to prepare congratulatory gifts for their scholars.
Especially Tang Feng's family.
Tang and Rou only then did they know that something had happened to their grandfather's family.
Tang Zhuangyuan really didn't listen to her, and didn't ask Luan Xue to treat the slap, but went to the hospital. The doctors in the Yuncheng Medical Hall are much better than Yang Mian, but they are just ordinary doctors, unlike Luan Xue, who is a disciple of Doctor Yu! Those doctors said to Tang Zhuangyuan that this hand could not be saved, and it had to be cut off. Tang Feng's family collapsed, and Mrs. Tang and Song Ming made a big fuss in the hospital, and they were locked up by the county order and beaten by the board. In the end, Tang Zhuangyuan's entire slap was black, and a section of his forearm was also black. Although the doctor didn't know what it was, he reluctantly summed it up as dead air. At this time, Tang Zhuangyuan really believed the doctor's words, and hurriedly told them to cut off this hand quickly.
The doctors in the Yuncheng Medical Center did not know anesthesia, and they were worried that they would bleed and become infected after being cut off, so they used a hot method to stop the bleeding. I heard that yesterday afternoon, the smell of barbecue was permeated in the entire medical hall, and Tang Zhuangyuan fainted several times in pain, and he didn't even have the strength to scold rudely.
It sounds a little cruel, but who made Tang Zhuangyuan disobedient? It can only be regarded as a wicked person with evil retribution.
At this time, Tang Feng's family not only couldn't take out the silver, but also asked a few uncles to borrow a lot of silver and took on debts. Tang Feng saw that Tang Yushun was too emotional, and he had been taking his stupid younger brother in the school, and there were unpleasant rumors that he had a child with Oiran, so he asked him to stop reading and go home to farm. But now that Tang Zhuangyuan has a disability, he knows that he will at most go to the level of the township examination and will not be able to enter Beijing, so he will let Tang Yushun go back to study in the school.
After Song Ming learned about this, she ignored the open wound and had a big fight with Tang Feng in the yard of her home.
Tang Yourou listened to the casual story, sighed a few times in front of Zhao Lizheng, and pulled back the topic: "I'm not on the family tree, I really shouldn't give the silver for this winter sacrifice." However, I can lend it to Grandpa Zhao first, and when the spring begins, the land rent in the village will come back, and Grandpa Zhao will return the silver to me. Is that okay? ”
When Zhao Lizheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Rou girl is really willing to lend it to me?" I'll borrow twenty taels here. ”
Tang Yourou nodded: "No problem." We can go to Grandpa Zhao's house to write notes. ”
That way, he won't have to sell the land in the village!
Zhao Lizheng solved the big problem in his heart, and his heart was full of joy, and he praised Tang and Rou for being sensible and understanding.
He even wanted to persuade the patriarch to engrave the name of the girl back on the village tree.
This girl will take care of her younger siblings at such a young age, and she will earn silver, and she is willing to accept the silver for the village emergency. Where can you find such a nice person?
Anyway, after the spring starts, the land rent will be distributed to the elders of the Tang family ancestral hall, which can be regarded as the share of the Tang family. When the time comes, let the elders of the Tang family break it by themselves. Tang Feng and the others who owed money and didn't give it would never even give their clan elders' face.
Tang Yourou followed Zhao Li to negotiate the matter at the door of the burrow, and when he saw that the door was not bolted, he threw the wild boar into the yard, and first went back to his house with Zhao Li to make a note and lend the silver.
When they returned to the burrow, Tang and Rou looked around the empty courtyard, looking at the empty treasure chest and a few clothes, and then realized that something was wrong.
The young lady and Dou'er don't seem to be at home.
It looks like you've left the village......
