Yao replied, "Yes, there is, it's just that it takes time to inquire, for a while, there is no news now, and then the silver is estimated to be much more......

Speaking of silver, Xu Zhang's is not as roundabout as Xu Youde.

She said directly, "How much silver did you bring back this time?" I'm afraid that this treatment is a bottomless pit, I don't know how much silver it will cost, we have spent more than fifty taels, and we have taken out your sister's dowry, as well as the coffin of my and your father's pension, not only that, but also borrowed sixty taels ......."

At this moment, Yao Shi stopped talking, she lowered her head and shrank back.

pushed Xu Darong to the front.

Xu Darong also looked uncomfortable, his face was slightly red, and he paused before speaking.

"Father, mother, my son doesn't have much money a year, the main family only gives twenty or thirty taels of silver a year, our family of four, just I have an income, I want to rent a house, I want to eat and drink, and the eldest man has to go to school, the county is not as good as the countryside, all kinds of human expenses, every year is just to break even, or need my father and mother to subsidize food......"

As soon as his words came out, except for Xu Youde, everyone in the old Xu family couldn't believe it.

Roche snorted a few times, "Can't you?" Big brother, you've been in the city for many years, haven't you saved a little possessions? You have drunk ink, and you have a decent job, you are the gentleman and master of that big family, and you can teach it to be the eldest young master and eldest lady, as long as the young master and young lady are happy, any reward point is not a small amount, I heard that when you are a master, there are also festivals, and the gifts are rich, and the festivals of the New Year add up to a mess, which is more generous than the annuity......"

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at Xu Dalang, and the clothes on Xu Daya's body, especially the clothes on Xu Daya and Xu Chengfeng, looked very valuable, shiny satin, and I was afraid that a horse would have to cost several taels.

Not only did she notice it, but Xu Zhang's family was not blind, so naturally they all noticed it.

When the Yao family saw Xu Zhang's family, their eyes all looked at Xu Daya.

Hurriedly came out and explained, "Mother, the clothes on the eldest girl's body are not made by ourselves, this material is the best Niguangxia satin that has been popular in the county recently, and it costs ten taels of silver a horse, where did our family make such a good dress, this is made by the young lady of the Darong Lord's family, and it is done, but the color is not good-looking, so it is transferred to our eldest girl." It stands to reason that we are countrymen with such valuable clothes, where can we afford to wear them? But it's not, just now, someone told us the eldest girl about the family, I thought about it to say that it was not good to dress too shabby, so I thanked the master's family, accepted the dress, changed it, and just enough to wear it for the eldest girl......"

"Mother, we also thought that the second brother had this incident, the family must not be rich, and we also want to share the burden for the family, but the main family is half of the annual hair, half of the year's hair, and now is the time of green and yellow, the first year has been used up, and some have been borrowed, the end of the year has not yet arrived, we are also anxious, not afraid of my father's jokes, we don't even have the travel expenses, so we used some old jewelry at home as some, and then rented a carriage and came back......"

Roche was dumbfounded, and the children were all surprised.

Xu Zhang's eyes didn't blink, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected it.

Xu Youde was dumbfounded, and the person seemed to be still in the middle of the moment, and he didn't react.

Xu Jiaojiao was also a little surprised, she also thought that Xu Youde, who had been thinking about Boss Xu, was more or less a decent person, and how much would he take out some silver, meaning that even if it was only a few taels, it was also a matter of attitude.

Never thought about it, but it was thinking about not pulling out a hair?

Nothing?

Xu Youde was stunned for a while, and then said, "Boss, you don't have a lot of money, and we also know that we haven't asked you to take silver from home over the years, but your second brother is injured like this, and our father-in-law has no money, and your sister's silver for making loquat paste has been taken out, and I have seen the bottom of your mother's coffin, you can't ignore it!" The people you meet outside are all decent people, can't you just open your mouth to borrow a little? In the future, if you have the silver, you will make up for it, and your second brother will ......."

Boss Xu lowered his head and looked ashamed.

Yao said, "Dad, you have a point, I also told Darong like this, our second brother is the pillar of our family, a good hand at farming, without the second brother, we are afraid that this field will not be planted so well in the future!" We have to do our best no matter what, let Da Rong go out with his classmates and friends or something, who doesn't have a difficulty, right? Isn't it something to be ashamed of? Da Rong also went, but those classmates of Da Rong either said that they were in difficulty at home and couldn't take it out, or they didn't go to other places in the county town to go to Gao, but it was not a coincidence that they didn't borrow it. ”

"Then, the main family there we are also embarrassed to open our mouths, because just before the second brother had an accident, we just asked the main family to advance the second half of the year's repair gold, to the Lang reported the name of the school, Lang is now going to learn the eight articles, ready to take the test Xiucai, his father can't teach at home, his father is just a Xiucai, the bishop is a child under the age of ten, it is considered the enlightenment class, Lang's eight articles are profound, I want to send it to a university in a neighboring county to study hard, and strive to refer to Xiucai next year. Da Rong told me, originally Da Lang took the show is a matter of glory to the ancestors, the tuition is not enough, see if I can open my mouth to let my father and mother support one or two, I thought, we don't take care of it at home all the year round, my father and mother are old, there is that extra money to spend on their own, and taking care of the body is also considered a piece of filial piety, so I found a way to find the main family to advance the repair fund for the second half of the year, such a large amount of tuition, we paid it in advance. ”

"I never thought that just after reporting the name of the school, there was such a big thing at home, if I had known earlier, even if Da Lang couldn't go to the school, he must take the silver back to the house to save the emergency."

……

When Xu Youde heard about Kao Xiucai, his eyes lit up, and then dimmed again.

If it is usual, he may be more happy, and his son is the happiest thing in his life.

If the grandson can still show talents, then their old Xu family is the ancestor of the green smoke.

However, this situation is ......

Xu Youde sighed, "Going to school is also a matter of urgency, and since you can't raise money, it's not that you don't care......"

Xu Zhang's stomach was already holding his breath!

When Xu Darong and Yao said that they had no money, Xu Zhang's was angry.

"What do you mean it's not that they don't care? They don't get a penny back, this is called heart?! We can borrow silver to make up the urgency in the countryside at home, they are in the city, eating and drinking spicy, urging and urging, urging and urging, inviting three and four, and not coming back, and now the dust has settled half of it, okay! came back, you looked forward to the stars and the moon, and looked forward to them back, and then, there was no money, and you still said that they put their hearts into it, and who wouldn't say clever words and cheap words? Xu Youde, are you a pig brain? Pig brains are brighter than yours! ”
