Chapter 4 Who to Borrow Money From

　　Master Lian said this, is to several sons to share the five hundred taels of silver. 　　"What else can we put together, our family's money, not all in the hands of father and mother?" Lian Shouli honestly said, the Lian family is the Lian old man and Lian old lady is in charge, their sons hands but not a big son. 　　Five hundred taels of silver was not a small amount, for the Lian family it could even be described as a fortune. Lian old master seems to understand prudent people, why would make such a decision that. 　　Speaking of which, the old man of the Lian family is also considered a somewhat legendary figure in this village. 　　The ancestry of the Lian family is no longer traceable, and Master Lian was truly started from nothing. He lost his parents when he was very young and had to go out to work as an apprentice. Because of his diligence and loyalty, he was well-liked in the store. He is also a person with ambition, flexible brain, good learning and especially progressive, just when other apprentices lazy, mixing time, he soon will be an abacus practice of the mastery, and quietly also practiced a good calligraphy. No one knows how hard it was, and finally he became a shopkeeper of a large store. 　　Twenty years of shopkeeper down, even the old man also saved some money. However, in his mind, these are after all cheap laborers, farming and studying is the fundamental, and when he had enough money in his hands, he resigned from his employer and moved back to the village, bought a house and land, and devoted himself to supporting his sons' education, hoping to change his family's background. 　　The old man Lian was very willing to spend money on his sons' education. Finally, the oldest of the Lian family in the age of twenty when the examination in the Cao Cai, Lian old man was ecstatic, from then on, more full support for the eldest son. But God forbid, since then, the Lian family boss several township exams have failed, is the annual examination, can only be ranked in the middle. Lian family's oldest two is and Lian family's oldest study together, money also spend a lot, but even the Xiu Cai also failed to get. He did not like to read, and then simply completely threw away his education. 　　At that time, the Lian family already has a lot of population, Zhuang family, only some production in the field. Lian family oldest and oldest two and hands scattered, even the old man for the Lian family oldest countryside exams sold a few pieces of land, Lian family's light on the dark down. The first time I saw the oldest of the family, the oldest of the family, but in the village of the private school recognized a few words, and then came back to the farm. 　　However, Mr. Lian still thinks that his eldest son is a good scholar, and will be successful one day. 　　The first is to become an official, and the second is to become an official, and the third is to become an official, and the third is to become an official. Although there is a gap between this, but it is the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish. Coupled with his heartache for his eldest son, Elder Lian finally made this decision. 　　Lian Shouren, Gu's and Lian Hua'er have recognized Master Lian's weakness. 　　"How much silver does our family still have now?" Elder Lian asked Zhou. 　　"There's only the twenty taels that the old big family took back, and a few taels of broken silver that we have in the bottom of our suitcase, so at most we can come up with forty taels." Old Mrs. Lian said. 　　The difference between forty taels and five hundred taels was also too big. 　　"Father, this money, Yang Chengfeng is waiting in town, he wants it tomorrow." Lian Shouren whispered. 　　"The family only has thirty acres of land left." Elder Lian sighed. 　　So it's time to sell the land? That was the family's lifeblood. 　　"Father, this money should come from big brother himself!" Lian Shouyi said. 　　"Second brother, we haven't split the family, so what's the point of dividing it between you and me." Lian Shouren said. 　　"Then isn't Mr. Song not marrying our Hua'er?" He's eyeballs rolled and came up with a good idea, "Hua'er, you talk to Mr. Song, it's just 500 taels of silver, in our case it's a big deal, but in his case, a little bit of money from his fingers is enough. Hua'er is a big girl, not worth five hundred taels of silver?" 　　He's words are vulgar, even Hua'er's face turns red with shame. 　　"Second Auntie, I'm asking for money from his family before we're even married, will I be able to hold my head up as a person in his family in the future?" 　　"If you were afraid of not being able to hold up your head, you shouldn't have been so stinking showy and smashed someone's jade pendant." He's never been one to lose with her mouth, and immediately shot back. 　　"You ......" Lian Hua'er was shy and angry, turning her head to lie in Lian Xiu'er's arms and whimpering again. 　　"The child his mother is right, big brother, these years, you live in the town, there are showers of granary rice, as well as do the money of the pavilion, but did not take back a penny, the family you a few nephews are not enough to eat, and every year to earn a few money, are added to you go to eat tea and drink. You always said that you would let your brothers and nephews enjoy the blessings with you when you enter the university. We haven't enjoyed the blessings, but we have sold more than half of our land. If the remaining acres are sold again, your nephews will go to drink the northwest wind." Lian Shouyi said with a smile. 　　Lian Shouyi's words evoked He's new hatred. The oldest family is very calculating, letting her help talk to sell Lian Man'er before giving her and her daughter a dress, but these two dresses are not as valuable as one of Lian Xiu'er's. If it wasn't for Lian Shouyi's words, she would have been able to sell her daughter's dress. If it wasn't for Lian Maner's words that reminded her, she was again fooled by the oldest family. 　　The oldest family has been saying this for a long time, but they've never really honored it. Gu's that vixen, always take three melons and two dates just want to get rid of her. 　　"Aigoo, this is going to kill." He suddenly clapped her hands and howled, "Five hundred taels of silver, you guys let the rich ones go without asking for it, and then you blackened your hearts and tried to sell the land. Why don't you just bundle our mothers together and sell it, Hua'er a girl is so valuable, Erlang a few are not his grandparent's own grandchildren, it's me stealing people to raise them, starving to death no one is heartbroken ......" 　　Lian Maner was once again dumbfounded, the first time she had seen such a splashy one. 　　"Er Lang, San Lang, Si Lang, Six Lang ......" He called a series of names, she is the daughter-in-law of the Lian family who has the most male grandchildren, and is usually very proud of this, "You several heartless, where have you been, if you don't come back, we are going to be forced by your uncle's family to come back. If you don't come back, we're going to be forced to die by your eldest uncle's family. The eldest brother and sister-in-law's eldest son is married to a daughter-in-law and has a child. Our oldest has reached the age of betrothal, in order to give you all the money, until now he has not married a daughter-in-law ah ......" 　　He's crying louder and louder, Lian Shouren and Gu's faces followed and grew darker and darker. 　　"Lao Er, tell your daughter-in-law to shut up." Master Lian drank, "Who said sell the land, that land is not for sale." 　　Once Master Lian said this, and without Lian Shouyi speaking, He immediately stopped crying. 　　"Father, where does that money come from,...... borrow money?" 　　"Why don't you, borrow from big sister? Her family that grocery store I heard can earn several taels of silver a month." Lian Shouyi immediately said. 　　"Who did you hear that from?" Zhou snapped, "Your big sister's family is also living in a tight spot, so how can they have silver. If you dare to hit your big sister's family, I'll break your legs." 　　Lian Shouyi's mouth slurred, no longer daring to say borrow money from his big sister. 　　"There are places to go to borrow, and Mother won't let me. Then why don't you just send Hua'er to the Sun family and ask for a few hundred taels of silver." He said. 　　Lian Hua'er covered her face, hating He in her heart. However, at this time, she didn't dare to be too serious with He. He's temperament she knew, at that time, no matter what, they sent her clothes, let her help Lian Man'er sold for the silver matter to shake out, then everything will be over. 　　"Father, big sister that mother won't let go, that, can only find old gold to borrow." Lian Shouren said. 　　"Lao Jin!" Lian Shouxin, who had been muffled, raised his head violently, "Big brother means that Old Jin at the east end of the village!" 　　Lian Man'er eeked in her heart, who was Lao Jin that made the honest Lian Shouxin so excited.
