At the same time, the clan borrowed fifty taels from Li Yuan, and the remaining money was collected by everyone in the clan.
Prepare three hundred taels first!
If you don't have enough money, please find a way to go back to your parents' home to borrow it. It will be returned before the end of May at the latest.
Everyone in the Li clan knew that this involved heirs, and they were not worried that the clan would not be able to repay it, so everyone began to talk about how much money they could spare.
If you have a lot of money, borrow more.
If you have less money, give less.
If your natal family is wealthy, go back to your natal family and borrow more.
In addition to people from the Li clan who donated money at the scene, people with other surnames in Lijiaao also had children under the age of seven at home.
They wanted to leave with the Li clan, and their children also needed someone to protect them, so they joined together to collect money.
In addition, those family members who are willing to go along are more or less together.
Li Yuan pretended to go home, and when she came back, she had four 10-tael silver notes in her hand, plus one ingot of five taels, three ingots of one tael, a few pieces of broken silver and two or three strings, which seemed to be quite a lot. Lots of copper plates.
In full view of everyone, she took out the silver and said, "This is all the silver I have. Count it. It's enough for fifty taels. Give me the rest."
Li Qinghua and other older members of the Li family became very angry when they saw this.
They could tell at a glance that after lending them another fifty taels of the silver that Li Yuan brought, there were only about ten or twenty copper coins left.
Mrs. Wang always accompanied Li Yuan. After scanning everyone, she quickly counted out fifty taels of silver and returned the remaining dozen copper coins to Li Yuan.
At the end, she heard her say: "Hua Zi, Yuan Niang's money is running out. If you sell the watermelons in the field later, remember to pay her back. This child is sincere. He talks about how the tribesmen were kind to her when she was divorced. He went out of his way to talk to her. I bought some medicine from the drugstore in the city. She said it was used to treat headaches, brain fever, and stop bleeding due to bruises. The money hasn’t been given yet and will have to wait until a few days before we leave here.”
"In addition, for the sake of everyone, I paid for Dr. Liu to go to the county to follow me. She promised to go out with me, take care of food and drink along the way, and give me twenty taels in return. These Shaoan also I know, it’s just that when the time comes, it will come out of the fruits in the ground.”
The Li family ancestral hall, which was originally bustling with people talking, fell into silence as soon as Mrs. Wang said these words outside the door.
No one thought that Li Yuan could do this for them.
For a moment, everyone was very moved.
Those emotional people even had red eyes.
Li Qinghua's throat was sore again, and it took him a while to find his voice, and he promised: "I will definitely pay it back. Once I sell the watermelon, I will pay it back immediately. Yuan Niang, let me thank you on behalf of everyone!"
As he spoke, regardless of his status as an elder and representing the Li family, he bowed to Li Yuan in full view of everyone.
Seeing this, Li Yuan hurriedly avoided her body, "I can't do it, Uncle Hua can't do it!"
When Li Qinghua straightened up, she continued: "Uncle Hua, you are all my clansmen. Only if you are well can I be well. If I have the ability and money, wouldn't I spend some money so that everyone can be well? Really? I am a junior, you are really hurting me by doing this."
Speaking of which, she simply changed the subject and asked: "Uncle Hua, since we are leaving here, how do you think we will arrange the arrangements for our ancestors buried here?"
Li Qinghua had discussed this matter with the clan elders before. Some of them wanted to take him with him, but they also knew that they would not know what the situation would be like along the way, so it would be extremely inconvenient to take him with him.
"Just stay here. When the time comes, every household can leave with their memorial tablets. Maybe this place won't be flooded and everything will be fine?"
Li Yuan heard what he said and saw that no one around her objected. She obviously thought so too, so she said to Old Man Li: "Master, by the way, please change my mother's name back to the name on this side of the family tree..."
Li Jun had secretly told Old Man Li about this before, so now Old Man Li nodded and said, "Okay, change the genealogy here to Li Han's family, and change Wanrou below to Xiuyun!"
Fucheng
Wang Can originally wanted to send his two sisters-in-law there, settle down with the Xie family, and then go back.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the main house of the Li family.
At first, the owner of the house that Li Dahai rented did not know that two pregnant women would live in the house.
When he found out that the people had already moved in, he suddenly became dark-faced and shouted at someone to kick them out. He also returned the rent money to them.
It's just that this time coincides with the April government examination, and there are many people from all over the country rushing to take the exam.
It would be difficult to rent a house again, and it would be difficult to find a suitable one for the time being.
I have no choice but to stay at Xie's house first.
And because the government examination was about to start, Xie Yanzhi was not available at all, so this matter fell on Wang Can.
She traveled around for two or three days, looking at many courtyards with other people, but couldn't find anything suitable, so she went to find Yan Jiao.
After I and Yan Jiao changed partners again and found a few acceptable places, I called Ling to take a look.
Considering that there are children at home and women who are expecting to give birth, I think it is okay, but the price is high.
I think the price is right, but the conditions are really not good.
This choice was not decided until the government examination started.
Mrs. Ling was very anxious. After reading the book that day and sending away the successful candidate, she said to Wang Can: "Can Niang, why don't we book this place! Let's make a choice. It's only been half a month, and the price has suddenly increased by ten taels." ."
When Mrs. Ling said this, she felt heartbroken and bleeding.
In previous years, they had to work hard for more than half a year without eating or drinking to save so much.
But now, in just half a month, house prices have risen so much all of a sudden.
She was afraid that if the price was not settled, the house price would increase again.
When the time comes, even if you want to buy it, you may not have enough money!
Wang Can shook his head in denial: "Auntie, don't worry, we'll keep looking, and we'll find it anyway. This house has everything, but there's no well. It hasn't rained that day, so we have to find the nearest well. It's half an hour ago. Now I heard that the water level in the well has begun to drop. If this continues, what will you do with the water? If this place is close to Sister Jiaojiao's house and Xie's house, that's okay. But the problem is, This east and west are two completely opposite directions."
Mrs. Ling also knew that it would be impossible without a well. This might not be a problem in normal times, but the key is that when there is a drought, and there are two daughters-in-law who are expecting to give birth at home, this problem is very big.
It's just that she has been unable to make a decision, and for some reason, the house price is getting higher and higher, and she can't help but be anxious.
She found that there were more and more people in Fucheng recently, and she didn't know whether it was because of the prefectural examination, or whether there were people who had the same idea as them.
I felt that no matter how bad the Fucheng was, it was still better than the local county town, so I left here as soon as possible.
