When they heard that they were going to live in the abandoned and dilapidated houses at the head of the village, the faces of the Zhang family and the children became sad again.

Ding Zhao was relieved, "Dad knows how to do carpentry, I can treat carbuncles, Lichun Niang can do it, and life can always go on." ”

At night, Ding Xiang hugged Ding Zhuang again and did not let go, and Ding Zhuang took her to sleep on the big kang.

Lilac made a new discovery when he was hugging Ding Zhuang, there was a hard object on his chest. Through the starlight that came in, I saw a small square sewn on the chest of his middle shirt, and the stitches were crooked.

Lilac knew that there should be a small bag, which contained the jade pendant that he had seen before.

Maybe Ding Zhuang was in a relaxed mood, he didn't sleep all night yesterday, and soon fell asleep, snoring heartily.

Lilac reached out and touched it, it was really a jade pendant.

The next day, Ding Zhao took his jewelry to the county seat.

Lilac grabbed him and instructed him that the colored bracelet decorated with pearls must be sold for more than thirty taels of silver, and the other must be sold for more than ten taels of silver. Because it is not only a beautiful colored rope that is sold, but also a novel weaving method and a different name.

The shopkeeper Gong of the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop is a good person and will not maliciously lower the price. She bought the idea of the colored bracelet and knitted it more, not only to make money, but also to make more fame in the Nine Silk Embroidery Workshop.

At noon, Ding Shuniang came, her eyes were red, and she lost a lot of weight.

She pulled Ding Zhuang's sleeve and cried so much that she was worried about Ding Zhi, but also felt that she was sorry for her second brother and sister-in-law.

"It's all my fault, I'm used to it. When I was a child, he was naughty, and when I was angry, I wanted to beat someone, and I quarreled with him. said that this is my Ding family's species, and he has no right to fight. If you knew it earlier, you should have been like teaching Liangzi, if you make a mistake, you will use thorns to smoke, and the courage of the holder will not be so big......"

Ding Zhuang said, "The son is not the fault of the father, and it is not the sister's business." It's that I can't live with An An and didn't teach that rebel well. ”

Ding Shuniang gave Ding Zhuang thirty taels of silver, a golden hairpin, three silver hairpins, and a pair of silver bracelets, "This is my private room and jewelry......"

Ding Zhuang accepted thirty taels of silver and returned the jewelry to her.

My brother was ashamed and took the money. The money is almost there, and the lady can rest assured. ”

I heard that Ding Zhuang had almost raised the money, so Ding Shuniang put her mind at ease.

She ate dinner and hurried home.

Zhang began to pack his things, and Lilac made the little shoes and a few pieces of clothing into a small bag, which she would take with her wherever she went.

Ding Zhao didn't go home from time to time, although his face was not good, but he was not as grim as he left.

He took out a pile of silver ingots and broken silver, "Not bad, sold for seventy-six taels of silver." ”

Shopkeeper Gong likes those two colored bracelets very much, and there is no price reduction. The seven-star colored bracelet was sold for thirty-one taels of silver, and the butterfly flying colored bracelet was sold for ten taels.

The price of the thread-knitted yarn is more expensive than the heavy silver bracelet, and even Ding Zhao didn't expect it.

plus the thirty taels of silver given by Ding Shuniang, a total of one hundred and six taels.

In this way, as long as the shops, fields, yards and other things are fairly appraised and the debts can be paid off in full, maybe there will be a few taels left.

Jiaozi will bring a special person to evaluate the fixed assets, and the difference will not be very large.

Ding Zhao looked at Ding Xiang with admiration and asked, "How could Xiang Xiang make such a beautiful bun and take such a beautiful name?" ”

Lilac Nuonuo replied, "I saw my mother's marriage, and I thought that there might be a better looking style, and I thought about it, and I thought about it." ”

Ding Zhuang looked at Ding Xiang with more solemn eyes, "Xiangxiang is a smart child." If we had thought more about her and divided the animal for another time, the debt would not have crushed the family...... It's me who is bad. ”

Ding Zhao said, "It's not all my father's fault, but also my fault, I think Xiangxiang is a child, and I didn't listen to her words." If we split up, Jiaozipu would not dare to borrow so much money from the holder, and the holder would not have come to this point. ”

When the family no longer sees themselves as ignorant children, Lilac is still happy. She is three years old and can do a lot of things, and will lead the whole family to rebuild a beautiful new home.

With so much money at home, I'm afraid of accidents.

At night, Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Ding Lichun hardly slept, and took the sunspot around the yard every once in a while.

Ding Shan didn't sleep either, and occasionally leaned on the wall of his house to watch the movement in the village. If you find something suspicious, you scream.

Zhang took Lilac and Ding Liren to lie down in their clothes to face the emergency.

Finally stayed up until dawn.

After eating, Ding Lichun took the sunspot to the backyard and tied it up, fearing that it would bite strangers and be beaten to death.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao sat in the hall and waited for someone, and Zhang took Ding Liren and Ding Xiang in the east wing.

Ding Zhao also told them to plug the door and not come out no matter what happened.

Ding Xiang was unwilling, ran out with her calves, and was carried back to the East Chamber by Zhang.

Soon, the second ancestor of Ding Shan and Nanquan Village, Uncle Xuantang, and Uncle Shanzi came, and Ding Youcai actually came.

He said, "Second uncle, Zhaozi, my family has no money, but it's okay to fight a fight." ”

They are the Ding family, and they must come to help Ding Zhuang support the field.

Not long after, Xia Lizheng, Xia Erbo, Jiang Tofu and other five villagers also came.

Xia Li is the official of this village, and he has to come if he doesn't want to. Xia Erbo and others are friends of Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao, and they came to help their friends.

As the Ding family's relatives and neighbors, they will testify to Jiaozipu and the second room of the Ding family, and they can also speak fairly if the valuation is unfair.

Everyone waited until noon, but they didn't wait for someone from Jiaozi Shop.

Zhang went to invite Zhao, and the two cooked a big pot of noodles for everyone to eat.

Before the end of the day, twenty people came to Jiaozipu. Nineteen of them looked angry, and at first glance they were thugs collecting accounts. A thin old man, with an abacus in his hand, came to settle accounts and estimate.

Most of the people entered the upper hall, and a few wicked men stood in the courtyard.

Sun Datou, the small leader of Jiaoziji, took out two IOUs and said, "The principal is 1,200 taels, and Ding Zhili's IOU expires today." ”

Ding Zhao, Xia Lizheng, and Ding Shan glanced at the IOU, it was indeed Ding Zhi's words, three points of interest, and he also pressed his handprint.

Ding Zhuang took out the shop, yard, and field deed, and Ding Lichun went to the backyard to bring the cattle to the front yard.

The appraiser appraised the price, and the Ding family, Xia Lizheng and others felt that the price was low, and bargained to determine the price that was mutually acceptable.

Ding Zhuang took out the silver ticket, silver, and copper coins, plus those assets, and made up enough 1,200 taels of silver.

Everyone didn't expect that the second room of the Ding family could make up so much money in three days, and they thought that it would be good to be able to raise enough seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

Sun Datou nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the principal has been paid off." Then he shook the IOU and said, "There is also interest on seventy-two taels of silver, and when it is paid off, I will give you the IOU, and from then on the two will not owe each other." ”

Ding Zhao exclaimed, "Steward Sun is too much. Three points of interest, just due today, the interest should be thirty-six silver, how can there be an extra amount of money? ”
