When it came to making plans, everyone fell silent.
Boss Zhang was still injured. He was leaning on the mule cart and struggling to ask Gu Zhang, "Brother Gu, how do your family plan to enter the city?"
Everyone looked at Gu Zhang.
His family is rich, that's for sure.
Let's not talk about how much money Xiao Fei took home. Mr. Su just gave him one hundred taels not long ago. His family can go to the city no matter how much money they spend.
Gu Zhang said after a while: "I don't know. Let's discuss it first. We will rest here today. Maybe we can find other ways."
The village chief took out the dry cigarette and lit it, took a deep puff, and said My family said: "I think we should find someone to register as a household registration, maybe we can get through."
"Even if we can't get through, the worst we can do is get a beating, even ten pieces of bullets won't kill anyone."
After finishing his words, the eldest daughter-in-law Jin Feng They started shouting, "Dad, how
can this be done? We can't compare to you men. If we really take off our pants and hit the boards, how can we still live!" The second daughter-in-law Hongxia also said: "Yes, Dad, this is not safe. , if it is really discovered, everyone in the family will be shocked. There is not even a medical center outside the city, and I am afraid that I will not be able to survive!"
The village chief frowned, "What should we do? Our family needs eighty taels of silver to enter the city. Not eight taels!"
He gritted his teeth and gave out eight taels of silver.
"Our family doesn't have that much money!"
Aunt Liu said nothing. She took all her family's belongings with her. There was less than seventy taels of silver left in total. This was the accumulation of several generations. It was not enough even if she wanted to go to the city. .
Every household was gathered together at this time. After hearing the conversation at the village chief's house, everyone was worried about what to do!
At this time, Boss Zhang, who was leaning on the mule cart, suddenly said, "Brother Gu, I, I want to ask you to borrow some money."
Gu Zhang smiled bitterly, he had a lot of money, and the one hundred taels given by Mr. Su was enough. The rest of the family's money is Xiao Fei's money. He can't borrow Xiao Fei's money outside.
Seeing that Gu Zhang was silent, Boss Zhang struggled and said, "Brother Gu, I know you are in trouble, but I figured it out. We have to enter this city."
"With this road in such chaos, we can't go back to our hometown. Even if I go back, there is no way to survive!"
"I still have a carriage. When I get to Donghai County, I will sell the carriage back to you. I can sell it for twenty or thirty taels of silver no matter what,"
the village chief said in surprise . , "Boss Zhang, your family of five requires fifty taels of silver to enter the city. Are you willing to bear it?"
Boss Zhang smiled bitterly, "So what if you can't bear it? Haven't you seen it yet? There is no way to survive in these counties. Only by entering this city and going to a place where there are no victims can we survive!"
"No matter how important money is, it's not as important as life!"
This statement struck everyone's ears.
Yes, there are not many people who have died along the way. As long as people are alive, they can make more money.
The eldest uncle nodded at this time: "That's right, you have to live first!"
"Besides, I heard that people in Donghai County are extremely rich, and money is definitely easier to earn than here. As long as you are diligent and willing to endure hardship, you can live a good life. Go down."
This is true. Donghai County, south of Yunjiang, commonly known as Jiangnan, has a pleasant climate, rich production, and a concentration of salt merchants. It is the most prosperous place regardless of dynasty or generation.
Gu Zhong hurriedly said, "Second brother, my family doesn't have enough money to go to the city. Lend me twenty taels of silver and I will write you a note. When we get there, I will sell the mule cart to pay you back."
He was worried about every household. They all had to ask Gu Laoer to borrow money. If he didn't ask, it would be too late.
