Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness

"Now we are not asking you whether you have remembered the time correctly, but about the question of repayment. If you don't repay the money, we will charge you some interest first and chop off one of your hands." After Butler Zhang finished speaking, he waved to the people behind him to come forward, which scared Zhao Guoguang and Zhao Baishi.

"No, let's pay you back, pay you back, and don't cut my hand." Zhao Guoguang immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Yes, we will pay you back, please don't cut off your hands. But we have no money now. Can you please give us some time?" Zhao Baishi pulled Zhao Guoguang back with trembling hands, saying in a trembling voice.

He was in a dilemma because he was afraid that his eldest son's hand would be chopped off, but he couldn't come up with the money.

"Mother, the Zhao family doesn't have that much money. Even if we go to borrow, we can't borrow that much. It's better to let housekeeper Zhang take uncle away and work in the mansion of a wealthy man to earn money to pay off the debt. After all, everyone has their own consequences. Don't let your family get involved." Zhao Shiying said suddenly, and Wang Ronghua was stunned after hearing it.

is it possible?

So Zhao Guocheng secretly told this to Uncle Manfu. In the end, Uncle Manfu could only sigh helplessly and quietly walked to Zhao Dagen and told him about this.

Zhao Dagen made a decision after thinking for a long time.

"Since Butler Zhang wants to take someone away, then let's take him away. However, taking someone away to pay off the debt is not a matter of life and death. Instead, he can help the official do some manual labor to earn money. The money earned can be used to pay off the one hundred taels of silver. When the debt is paid off, my eldest son can come back in one piece. Is that okay?" Zhao Laogen said gritting his teeth.

This is already the best solution.

Apart from this, he couldn't think of a better way.

After thinking for a while, Butler Zhang said, "Okay, but give him fifty taels first, and let him work to pay off the remaining fifty taels. Otherwise, there will be no way to get through today, and you must chop off one of his hands as interest." Butler Zhang recalled what the master had told him before he left.

"Go and raise the money now, and don't tell me you don't have it. If you keep saying that, we will just chop off his hands." Butler Zhang really sounded like a serious person when he spoke harsh words, just like a bandit leader.

Zhao Bai was so frightened that she dared not speak anymore. Zhao Guoguang looked at his mother with longing.

"Mother, please save me. Father, third brother, please all of you save me." Zhao Guoguang pleaded.

"I'll go see if I can collect fifty taels. If not, I'll sell the land." Zhao Dagen sighed after he finished speaking. His ancestors, generation after generation, had been defeated by him.

Zhao Bai cried and turned around and ran into the house. After much searching, she only had 17 taels and 2 qian of silver. The family was already broke. The 15 taels from selling Zhao Shiying were also there. Besides that, it was the money earned by the second son and his wife from working. She had sworn that she would never spend it, but now she was forced to this point. She wanted to kill someone, but she still didn't have a penny left.

"We don't have that much money! It's only seventeen taels and two cents of silver in total." Zhao Bai said with trembling hands.

"Fellow villagers, if anyone wants to buy land, the village chief is here to be a witness. We are selling land, and I need cash. Those who need it can buy it now. I will give you the land at the same time." Zhao Dagen did not dare to say that he could collect the hundred taels, because if he did, the family would have no land, and it would be a problem what the whole family would eat in the future, not to mention that his youngest son would need a lot of money for the exam this year.

It just so happens that there are no crops planted in the fields yet, so the only option is to sell the land. Anyway, there is no seed for grain this year.

Zhao Dagen sighed after he finished speaking, but still looked at the villagers and the village chief with hope.

"In that case, how about you wait a little while, Butler Zhang? I'll give it to you when the money is collected." After saying this, Village Chief Zhao turned around and looked at the villagers.

"Nowadays, good farmland costs seven taels of silver per mu, inferior farmland costs five taels, and dry land costs two taels of silver per mu. If the villagers are in need, why not give us a hand?" said Village Chief Zhao.

The villagers now all lowered their heads in thought.

"The village chief is in a hurry to sell it, please sell it at a lower price. I would like to buy it, but I can't afford it at this price. If it were cheaper, I might be able to buy an acre of good farmland with some money." A villager said it after hesitating.

Village chief Zhao looked at Zhao Dagen. Zhao Dagen pondered for a moment and felt that if he didn't lower the price, he wouldn't be able to sell many products and would not be able to raise enough money, so he decided to just go all out.

"Brother Manfu, please help me make the decision." Zhao Dagen nodded.

"Okay, then the price for good farmland will be six taels of silver, the price for second-rate farmland will be four taels of silver per mu, and the price for dry land will be one tael and five cents per mu." When Village Chief Zhao said this, some people became excited.

"Village chief, I want to buy an acre of good farmland. Wait for me to get the money now." The person who made the suggestion just now was so excited that he was about to take off.

This is an attempt to empty the money jar to buy land.

The villagers were talking a lot.

"Village chief, can you wait a little longer? I have to go back to my mother's house to borrow money. I will be back in an hour. I need two acres of paddy fields." Someone else said.

"Okay, hurry up and come back."

"I want two acres of dry land."

"I want an acre of dry land."

I thought there was no money in the village, but suddenly there were many wealthy people.

They said that after Village Chief Zhao registered, they hurried back to collect the money.

Wang Ronghua and Zhao Guocheng were completely disheartened by what Zhao Dagen and Zhao Bai did.

They were left with nothing, and the old house and land were sold to help Boss Zhao pay off his debts.

She also knew that her brother-in-law would be taking the next exam in a month or so, so she planned to take this opportunity to collect more money so that her brother-in-law could study for the exam with peace of mind.

Everyone in the family was considered, except their second wife.

This heart is too biased.

Zhao Guocheng breathed a sigh of relief, as there was finally a solution to the problem.

Manager Zhang watched the old Zhao family and the village chief trying to raise money but did not bother them. He simply found a corner to sit down and rest. Only then did he take out the indenture that the money official had given him.

This indenture was the same indenture that Zhao Shiying had signed. After opening it and taking a look at it, his eyes and mouth widened as wide as they could.

This indenture contract does not belong to that little girl Zhao Shiying but to Zhao Guoguang himself?

This... did the master give the wrong indenture?

That’s not right. This paper is used exclusively by their Yuanwai Mansion.

The handwriting was also his, and he was the one who drafted the indenture, except that Zhao Shiying's name was changed to Zhao Guoguang, and the price of the sale was fifteen taels of silver.

Butler Zhang thought he was dazzled, so he quickly stood up, wiped his eyes, looked again, then said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Before leaving, he said: "Gather the money for me before this afternoon, preferably 100 taels, and we will come back in the afternoon to collect the money and bring people."

This left the Zhao family, the village chief and the villagers all confused.

Leaving now?

Zhao Shiying lay in Wang Ronghua's arms and turned her head to look at the direction where Butler Zhang was walking, grinning! Hehe~ finally found it? How fun!

This is the big gift she gave to Mr. Qian and Zhao Guoguang!

Since this bad uncle dared to sell her out, she sold him out right away.
