Chapter Eighty-Seven: Pooling Money
Wu Qingzhu thanked him again, and the father and son hurriedly left before closing the city gate, fearing that they would not be able to get out today, and if they delayed Qingquan for one more day, they would be more dangerous and guilty.
Hurry up and hurry, and finally rushed to the house before the night came.
I saw Wu's mother wandering around the door from afar, and Wu's father was also anxious, and his horsewhip couldn't help but shake it more.
At this moment, there are not only their family in the Wu family's courtyard, but even the people from Wu's second grandfather's family are also there.
Hearing the movement of the carriage at the door, Hula all rushed out.
Wu Qingzhu also frowned when he saw this movement, so many people had a little headache when they saw it.
Wu's father handed the carriage to Wu Qinghe, and followed his son into the hall quickly.
Helan first handed over the prepared cold boiled water, and went out for a day on these two hot days, estimating that he didn't drink a sip of water, and it was only right to let them relieve the heat first.
Wu Qingzhu didn't even look at it, took it and drank it cleanly, put down the bowl in his hand, looked around, his beating heart was also calmer, looked at the people in the room, sighed, he didn't think about how to explain to his family.
At this time, Wu's mother next to her pushed Wu Qingzhu: "You should hurry up and say it, but I'm really in a hurry." ”
"I don't know how to say it, anyway, there are two plans now, either Qingquan will stay in prison for a few years, or scrape together enough one hundred taels of silver to plead with the little general."
There was silence in the room, and no one made a sound, as if they didn't understand what Wu Qingzhu said.
"Did you ask? Is this serious? What did Wu Tiezhu say, was the injury serious? "What Grandpa Wu wants to know most is what the situation is now.
"That kid's injury is not serious at all, he just took advantage of this to play. When the little general heard his complaint, he felt that he couldn't get over his face, so he arrested my younger brother. The county magistrate also said that according to the temper of the little general, if you really rest assured, Qingquan may not know where to go at this time. ”
Father Wu slammed his fist on the table and scolded angrily.
The two brothers of Grandpa Wu also had a black face, and they were also angry in their hearts.
"Who came up with the idea of taking the money? Who is this money intended for? Wu's mother, who was only thinking about saving her son, was still more concerned about how to save her son, and hurriedly asked.
Wu Qingzhu bent down, stretched out his hands and rubbed his face: "The county master helped inquire, this little general's temperament is also a rough idea, this is the idea for me, he said that when the time comes, take the money and take me to beg for it, so that the little general can get by on face, and let go of his younger brother if he can't say it." ”
"Is this county master reliable? Will the miscellaneous help us so well? "Mother Wu is also a little worried, their common people have nothing to do with them, where will they be so kind to help them?
"It should be reliable, he didn't accept the gift I gave today, and I spent a few days with him at the beginning, and I think the character is still good."
"Don't do it for more money, do you? When the time comes to ask for silver, then we really can't do anything. ”
"I'm not sure, but I know that if we don't get my brother out, he will definitely suffer a lot inside."
"Are they still tortured? Have you seen your brother? Is he okay? Mother Wu was also frightened when she heard this.
"It's still Wu Qingzhu's kid, a dog fighting people, the little general just asked people to report to the official, and he went to the prison to find someone to tell him that he must look good for his younger brother, thanks to Brother Lin, who is an acquaintance with the prison history, and said hello in advance." Wu Qingzhu was also angry, and the Sven people were forced to scold people
Mother Wu almost fainted when she heard this: "Killing a thousand knives, this kid is really not a thing." ”
The red aunt next to her was also very angry, and stomped her feet: "No, I have to go to the village chief's house and talk about it, this is too much of a thing." After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to scold.
"Come back, if the village chief and his family talk well, can there still be the same thing as yesterday? I also know from this kid's attitude towards his mother that this kid is not a good thing, and it doesn't work if anyone says it. ”
Second Grandma Wu saw that her daughter-in-law was going to rush out to reason with others, so she hurriedly stopped this behavior, and it was the most stupid to go to someone's house to make trouble at this time, and she would be even more ignorant at that time.
Helan looked at the fact that everyone was in a hurry and couldn't grasp the point, so she simply didn't care about the place and still came to the mouth: "Oh, why are you so entangled!" It's still important to find a way to raise money to save people. If Qingquan is not rescued quickly, the prison history may not agree to take care of Qingquan all the time, in case that kid does something bad, we don't know. ”
"Yes, yes, make up money, I'll borrow money, tomorrow I'll go back to my parents' house, go to the village, go to relatives' houses, borrow money, no matter how you make it, this money will definitely be raised."
Mother Wu spoke a little incoherently, and her legs were a little weak when she held on to the chair.
Easy to say, raising money? It is estimated that the money from their entire Wujia Village family has been taken out, and there may not be a hundred taels, but who is really willing to take out all the money to help them?
Besides, it's too late to hide, who would dare to lend you money?
Seeing that the room was gloomy and bleak, Grandma Wu was also uncomfortable, looked up at her husband who was on it, and motioned for him to take out a charter.
Second Grandpa Wu looked at his elder brother, and began to whisper as always: "Big brother, my family has made it up, and it is only ten taels of silver in total, you take it first to deal with emergencies." ”
Grandpa Wu smiled gratefully, and he didn't have the heart to say anything more to his younger brother, his own family, saying thank you, that would hurt his feelings.
A group of people chatted babbling, discussing who in the village could take the money and borrow it, and whose money was not easy to borrow.
After a long while, the result was not discussed, and Second Grandpa Wu looked up at his brother, and saw that he had never spoken, so he could only shake his head.
also knew that it was not up to their family to intervene at this point, so he said goodbye and led their family home.
After the village dispersed, everyone found that there was one more person in the dark house, and it was Qingmei's newly married husband, Wu Tong.
Seeing that everyone found themselves, Wu Tong stood forward and replied embarrassedly: "Just now, I saw that the eldest brother was back, so I followed in, and when I saw that you were discussing things, I didn't speak." ”
Grandpa Wu just sighed: "Well, we don't have anything to do, you better hurry home at such a late hour, tell Qingmei to let her rest assured, your brother will be back in two days." ”
Wu Tong answered, and also went out of the house with Wu's second grandfather's family.
As soon as the door was locked, there were only a few of them left, and after returning to the main hall, they looked at each other with a sad face.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to my uncle and ask for it, and see how much I can come up with."
Although Grandpa Wu said this, these people in the family also knew that if they walked around the village, they could make up ten taels of silver, and no one would empty out their family and lend it to their family.
"I'll go to the county tomorrow to find Wang Gongzi, his family runs a shop, and maybe he can lend some out." Wu Qingzhu thought about it and spoke.
"I'll go back to my mother's house tomorrow, and maybe I can ask for some, and I can sell a lot of some skins if I find them."
"Don't talk nonsense, go to your mother's house, then you have to climb two mountains, it will take several days to come and go, and it is not easy for your mother's family to live in the mountains. If you toss again, where is the words? ”
Father Wu knew the difficulties of his father-in-law's family, so he naturally didn't want his own wife to drag him down.
Then there was silence.
