Ding Zhuang didn't have much hope for going to the Tang family to borrow money. His son got into trouble and kidnapped his daughter. But now that the mountains are exhausted, we have to try our luck.

There is another thing that has to be done by Zhaozi......

After Guo Liang left, Ding Zhuang said, "Don't scare the child, Lichun Niang took Xiangxiang and Liren to the East Chamber." Lichun is the eldest son, and he must be responsible and face this matter with us. ”

Ding Lichun straightened his small chest, pursed his lips and nodded.

Zhang felt that the sky above his head had fallen, and cried to Latin Liren and Lilac.

Ding Xiang didn't want to go, so she climbed on Ding Zhuang's knee and said with tears, "Xiangxiang doesn't leave the master, Xiangxiang is very smart, and she will take the female champion exam in the future." I want to hear it, I want to come up with ideas. ”

Ding Liren didn't leave, "Master, I will be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, I am smart and can also come up with ideas." ”

Holding his soft little body, Ding Zhuang was reluctant to push it away, and carried Lilac into the bedroom.

He put the cloves on the ground, opened the box, took out a large wooden box from it, and took out a dozen large coins.

Lilac thought that he would take the purse hidden in the corner, and the jade in it was of excellent quality, and if he sold it, he would definitely be able to pay off the debt.

Dan Ding Zhuang didn't take it, and went directly to the hall. Lilac hugged his leg again and followed suit.

That jade pendant must be heavier than his grandfather's life, so he was reluctant to take it out.

Ding Zhuang put the big money on the table, and then buckled the box, which contained a few deeds, silver tickets, and a few ingots of silver.

"This is all our family's wealth. The house had a hundred and forty-six taels of silver, and twelve copper coins. The cost of the yard and furnace of the ironshop, the iron-striking materials, and the transfer of the blacksmith's deed can be worth about three hundred taels. This yard is worth more than 30 taels of silver, the output of 15 acres of land and the field is worth 100 taels of silver, and the old cow is worth 8 taels of silver. ”

Fixed assets have to be valued by a special person, and the price he said is not accurate. There is also the identity of a blacksmith, not that you can open a blacksmith shop if you know how to strike iron, but also need the approval of the yamen or the transfer of the blacksmith.

Ding Zhao said, "I still have a few taels of silver in my private room." ”

Zhang said, "I also have some private rooms. ”

Lilac said, "Xiangxiang has a private room, take it out." ”

"We have that too." Ding Lichun and Ding Liren expressed their positions.

A few people went back to the house to get their private rooms.

Lilac ran to the south room and took out the big box, took out the three pieces of paper at the bottom and hid them in an old shoe, and then put the shoes under the small couch.

A few months ago, Lilac secretly made a simple quill pen out of goose feathers, wrote down the information on a piece of paper again, and redrew the portrait of Li's mother and the scene in her dream.

She took the box and went to the upper room.

Because of the few pieces of jewelry that Ding Zhi and Ding Zhuang bought, Lilac's private house is the most, worth dozens of taels of silver.

Ding Zhao and Zhang's private room had nine taels of silver and some big money, and Zhang also took out a few pieces of jewelry.

Ding Zhao glanced at Lilac embarrassed again, and he brought the seven little pearls as well.

The rhetoric is, "When the fragrance was born, Dr. Fang sent it." This is Nanzhu, which can be worth a dozen taels of silver. Dad is sorry Xiangxiang, he even took out this thing. ”

The little clothes were not worth much, so I didn't take them.

Although Lilac felt sorry for those few small beads, she also felt that she should take them out at this time.

Ding Lichun and Ding Liren's private houses add up to only a few dozen dollars.

Not counting the jewelry, everything adds up to about five or six hundred taels of silver. The jewelry can't be sold at the original price, it depends on how people estimate.

The money borrowed from the shop is 1,200 taels, and the date of borrowing is still three days and a month, and the interest is 36 taels of silver. A total of one thousand two hundred and thirty-six taels were owed.

There is a deficit of six or seven hundred taels of silver. Subtracting the one hundred taels promised by the Guo family, there is still a difference of five or six hundred taels of silver.

The Tang family hates Ding Zhi, and he will not necessarily borrow money, nor will he borrow more. The other relatives are poor, and the money borrowed will not add up to more than twenty taels. As for friends, Ding Zhuang's father and son really haven't made rich friends, and it's good to be able to scrape together enough money.

How can I pay back the loss of so much money?

Lilac was extremely frustrated, she, the crossing girl, had no way at all at this time.

Maybe you can have a fragrant dream and find out Ding Zhi and Tang, but what's the use of finding them? beat Ding Zhi to death, and he still has to pay back his own money.

There was really no way for her to raise so much money in three days.

Paintings of different sizes, fingers are not flexible, and there is no place to sell them at a high price. The pirated script is sold for the time being, regardless of whether others treat her as a goblin or not, she can't write a grand book in such a short time, and the short story can't be sold for a few hundred taels of silver. Selling vegetables, there are no raw materials at home, and parents will not buy them back obediently......

I had to ask Zhang's to make up a different network to sell, and it wasn't worth much.

If you can't afford to pay back the money, you can only continue to borrow from loan sharks, and then find a way to earn more money when you have enough time in the future.

Seeing that his family had filled in all his belongings, and there was still so much money missing, Zhang couldn't hold back anymore and cried.

"Hmm...... It's over, this home is over. What should we do? ”

The crying was extremely poignant, and Ding Liren also cried. Ding Lichun couldn't hold back and didn't cry, and wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Lilac didn't cry either, and buried her head in Ding Zhuang's arms.

She feels that the softest emotions can sometimes turn into the most powerful forces. Now only she can give her grandfather the strength to lead the whole family through the difficulties.

Ding Zhuang patted his little granddaughter on the back and comforted him softly, "Xiangxiang is not afraid, there is a master and your father, and you will not be allowed to suffer." ”

Lilac couldn't hold back any longer and whimpered. She pressed her face tightly against Ding Zhuang's chest to prevent herself from crying.

Ding Zhuang coaxed, "Don't cry, you still have a killer weapon." ”

Several people's cries choked in unison and looked at Ding Zhuang.

Ding Zhao was a little aware and looked at his father sadly.

I saw Ding Zhuang knock the bottom of the wooden box a few times, and then took down the wooden board at the bottom, and there was actually a mezzanine.

He took out a dagger from inside.

The sleeve of the dagger is cowhide, and a row of copper nails are nailed on it, which looks very delicate.

Ding Zhuang drew his dagger, and the cold light was sensitive. With a flick of his hand, the dagger flew out and stuck it in the corner of the house.

Seeing the iron hammer being pierced, there were several screams from the house.

Ding Zhuang got up and pulled out the dagger, and there was a small hole in the iron.

Ding Lichun exclaimed, "Sharpening iron is like clay, how can you have such a good thing?" ”

Ding Zhuang sat down, his eyes fixed on the dagger, and muttered, "When I was young, I got a small piece of good iron by chance. It took me more than a year to secretly temper it, and I got such a good baby. ”

Ding Zhao also remembered that his father hit this dagger. At that time, his mother had just died, and Ding Zhao and Ding Zhuang lived in the iron shop. Ding Zhuang's love for his wife couldn't be resolved, so he hit that piece of iron, sometimes he didn't sleep all night, and he kept playing ping-pong.

The neighbors were so angry, but they didn't dare to provoke Ding Zhuang, so he fought day and night for more than a year.
