Turning back to the house to look at Fang's family, Fang's family asked her, "Man'er, why did you call so many doctors over?" Is there something wrong with my body? ”

"It's not." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "I'm just afraid that you will be cranky, so I deliberately invited so many doctors to reassure you, now that you have listened to the doctor's words, you should be at ease, right?" You must take good care of yourself in the future and stop worrying about us, okay? ”

"Got it." Fang Clan heard Liu Man'er's explanation and showed a pale smile.

Liu Man'er said: "Although there is no problem, but the doctor said, you must live and recuperate, keep your mood comfortable, don't think nonsense, and then take medicine on time, understand?" ”

"Got it, my housekeeper." Regarding Liu Man'er's concern, Fang Shi was still very attentive to it.

"Okay, then you have a good rest, I'll be busy first." Liu Man'er helped her tuck the horns well, and asked Xiaohe to take care of her, and then glanced at Ye Qing again, and then walked out of the house.

After Ye Qing saw it, he also followed her out of Fang's room, and the two of them sat in the simple study, both with solemn faces and without saying a word.

After a long time, Liu Man'er spoke: "Ye Qing, you should have heard the doctor's words, my mother's illness has to use Dr. Zhang's method." ”

"But what about the money?" Ye Qing pursed his lips and asked.

"I'll figure it out." Liu Man'er said.

"You're going to figure it out? Is it borrowing from usury? Ye Qing sneered.

"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "Borrowing usury can give us some buffer time, even if it is doubled, we may not earn two thousand taels of silver within a year." ”

"I'm not afraid to flash my waist when I say big things." Ye Qing sneered in a low voice, after all, in his heart, this is two thousand taels of silver, not a few, how can it be said that it can be earned.

Although Ye Qing's voice was small, with Liu Man'er's ear, she naturally heard it, and she didn't refute Ye Qing's words, but just said calmly: "If you have a way, or if you can get money now, just say it, my mother's illness can't afford to wait." ”

"One thousand taels of silver, what can I do, anyway, you are the eldest sister-in-law, and you are the elder at home, you can do whatever you want." Ye Qing's words were unspeakably mocking, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Liu Man'er sat on the spot, poured herself a cup of tea, stood up after taking a long breath, and suddenly shouted at Ye Qing:

"Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" Ye Qing stopped.

"Send me back to the village." Liu Man'er walked over and said to Ye Qing: "I'm pregnant now, I can't ride a horse, you send me back to the village, and I'll go to the landlord of Xiaowan Village to borrow money." ”

"The king landlord? Heh, you think he's a good guy? He is actually no different from these peels in the county! Ye Qing said coldly.

"After all, I don't have anyone familiar with the county, just our yard, this shop is not enough to mortgage, no one may be willing to borrow money, the landlord is different, after all, it is from the next village, not to mention the villagers, this year's horse bandits, or I asked Shuai Shuai to report the letter to his youngest son." Liu Man'er calmly told such a fact.

"But if you want to borrow money from the landlord Wang, do you want to make the entire Caoqiao Town known?" Ye Qing turned his head, looked at Liu Man'er, and said, "I really don't understand what you think, don't you care about the reputation of the third brother?" Don't you feel ashamed to borrow usury? ”

"Then if you don't want to lose face, go to the county seat to find someone to borrow, and I'll give you a day." Liu Man'er didn't say much to him, but said: "Today or tomorrow, if you find someone, talk about good things, and prepare money, your mother's illness can't be delayed." ”

"How can I borrow money when I don't know the county seat well?" Ye Qing roared, thinking that Liu Man'er was deliberately looking at him for a joke.

"And I'm the same, huh? I'm pregnant, how do I borrow money? Liu Man'er said coldly: "Let me tell you, the reputation of borrowing usury is nothing, what is there if you take it or not, you don't want to go to the landlord to borrow, not because I am afraid that others will know, but I am afraid that the people of the Tao family will know, right?" ”

"Yes and what!" Ye Qing was annoyed and angry, and shouted at Liu Man'er: "Someone else's daughter is like a flower, is it going to marry me and bear such a debt with me?" ”

Seeing Ye Qing's uncomfortable appearance, Liu Man'er wanted to taunt him, so she retracted her throat, and she said calmly: "I promise that within a year, I will definitely pay it off, let's work together, a year is okay." ”

Seeing that Ye Qing was still silent, Liu Man'er said: "Otherwise, I will go to the county seat with you tomorrow to ask, if it really doesn't work, I will go back to the village, is this good?" ”

"What else can we do?" Ye Qing nodded helplessly, if he could, he didn't want to choose.

Liu Man'er couldn't see his negative appearance, he was reluctant to let Tao Cuiya suffer, what about himself, wouldn't he be bitter? Speaking of which, the Fang family is his mother-in-law, not her Liu Man'er's mother-in-law!

However, thinking of Fang's kindness to her on weekdays, Liu Man'er didn't want to care about this, all the pain and discomfort, she just swallowed it silently.

The next day, after saying hello to the Fang family, Liu Man'er and Ye Qing went to the county seat to find a loan shark, the two soldiers were divided into two ways, Ye Qing went outside to inquire, Liu Man'er She had no way, she could only ask for Steward Wu's body.

Steward Wu was also shocked when he learned that Fang's serious illness and knew that Liu Man'er needed silver, and he even said that he was willing to lend two hundred taels of silver to Liu Man'er.

This made Liu Man'er very moved, she originally wanted to sell the yard, but now with the two hundred taels of silver from Steward Wu, she can also sell some of the family business less, plus she can also take out one hundred and fifty taels in her own hands, that is, three hundred and fifty taels, and sell the thirty acres of land newly bought by the family, there should also be one hundred and fifty taels of silver, so that the extra five hundred taels of silver is enough.

"Thank you Brother Wu, I didn't expect that at this critical moment, Angkor and Sister-in-law Wu were willing to help me." It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and this Wu steward's initiative really moved Liu Man'er.

You must know that Steward Wu was willing to lend her money after learning that she was going to borrow a loan shark of 1,000 taels of silver, which was not only a kindness, but also a kind of trust in her.

"Brother Wu, I will remember your kindness to me today, and I will definitely repay you in the future!" Liu Man'er said seriously: "You won't regret lending me money today." ”

Steward Wu smiled when he heard this: "Since I am willing to lend you the money, I will not regret it, but it is very far from a thousand taels, and I ask my sister not to dislike it." ”

"How so." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "This money is very important to me. ”

Sister-in-law Wu also said on the side: "Sister, I still want to tell you, if you can borrow money from relatives and friends, don't borrow usury, where is the money of the loan sharks so easy to borrow, they are profitable, and they will never be able to pay it back." ”

"Thank you Sister-in-law Wu for reminding me, I have my own measure of this." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "I have to trouble Steward Wu to introduce a suitable person." ”

"I know a few people who do this business, but with your current situation, they may not be willing to borrow it." Steward Wu said.

"It's okay, I'm prepared." Liu Man'er said persistently.

"Since you insist on doing so, then I'll make an appointment for you to the restaurant near your shop." Steward Wu said.

"Thank you." Liu Man'er thanked Steward Wu, and then made an appointment with him to meet at the Fu'an Restaurant at the beginning of the unitary time, and went back first.

When it was time to eat lunch, Ye Qing finally came back and asked him how he was doing, he was quite proud, "I found someone, and I made an appointment with him to meet at Fu'an Restaurant at the beginning of the hour." ”

"Such a coincidence? I also asked Steward Wu to make an appointment with me, and I also met at Fu'an Restaurant at the beginning of the unitary time. Liu Man'er replied.

"That's okay, that's better to go together." Ye Qing said.

"Well, but you have to be mindful and don't promise anyone anything." Liu Man'er said.

Ye Qing just snorted softly: "Do you still need to remind me?" ”

When he arrived at Fu'an Restaurant, Ye Qing went to find the person he had made an appointment, while Liu Man'er found Steward Wu.

To Liu Man'er's surprise, Liu Man'er originally thought that the person should not agree to lend her a loan shark who did not have enough collateral, but she didn't expect the person to agree, and then she thought about it, and then she remembered that this loan shark is different from the bank in the previous life, they are not afraid that you will not repay the money, and you will be able to catch you at the ends of the earth.

And they use the method of rolling profits, borrowing 1,000, and repaying 2,000 by this time next year, and 4,000 the year after.

Liu Man'er didn't agree immediately, because he wanted Steward Wu as a guarantor, she didn't want to let Steward Wu owe any more favors, and the other was that she didn't want to use her shop as collateral.

Originally, the business of her shop would not be easy to do without anyone to help her, if she provoked this loan shark again, this loan shark would turn around from her shop from time to time, so how would she do business?

The reason why she agreed to Ye Qing to find a loan shark in the county town was just because she didn't want him to complain, she still preferred to borrow money from the landlord, if he really refused to borrow, then she could only find this person.

So she didn't say anything, she just said that she would think about it, and then paid for the wine and said goodbye to the two of them and left.

After waiting at the door for a while, Ye Qing also came out, and Liu Man'er asked, "How is the situation over there?" ”

"People said that the mortgage was insufficient and they couldn't lend it to me." Ye Qing said.

Liu Man'er felt a little strange, and she said, "Did you tell him the name of our Ye family's snack shop?" ”

"I said, people won't borrow it!" Ye Qing was a little irritable when she saw Liu Man'er say this, and then asked, "You ask me, what about yourself?" ”

"I'm the same, people don't want to borrow it." Liu Man'er also said the same.

"Look, people won't borrow it, what can I do." Ye Qing said helplessly.
