Chapter 223: Why is Gong Lizheng ignoring us now?

150 taels of silver is a very considerable income for their family, but this amount of silver is still small compared to other families in the village.

Because the family was poor, they didn't take good care of the navel oranges and orange trees, and if they took good care of them, they would have more than doubled the price of their sale.

"150 taels of silver, there won't be much after our family uses it to pay off the debt!" Han Yunqiao helplessly leaned back on the chair and looked at the navel orange tree in the field in front of the house and said.

Their family owes too much debt.

Dr. Cao's family has already accounted for more than half of the medicine money, about seventy taels of silver.

It was all the medicine money that Dr. Cao gave to their family for medical treatment, and for several years, their family has not paid it back, but owes more and more.

used to sell navel oranges and oranges, and they could be sold for a lot of money, but they were taken by Han Zhengbei to honor Mrs. Han, so the family's debts were not repaid.

This year, since Mrs. Han is not at home, they can use the money to pay off their debts, otherwise, they don't know how long they will have to pay off their debts.

Moreover, in addition to Dr. Cao's family, there are other relatives who also owe a lot.

After all the repayments, the 150 taels of silver were left with 20 taels in the end.

These 20 taels of silver are the last of their family's foundation, and they have to be used for the New Year.

Although their family is very poor, they also have a lot of relatives, and during the Chinese New Year, they are not allowed to buy a little tobacco and sorghum wine to pay New Year's greetings? The rest, they will have to use next year. Buying seeds, fertilizers, etc., these are all a lot of expenses, and they are all staring at 20 taels of silver.

"Second brother, shall we go hunting tomorrow?" Han Yunjing pulled Shen Qing to Han Yunqiao's side and said.

Han Yunqiao thought for a while, "Okay, Ming'er, I'll take you two to hunt, and the eldest brother will stay at home to help my mother work." ”

"Great, thank you, second brother!" Shen Qing almost jumped up with joy.

Han Yunqiao raised her eyebrows, "Sister Qing'er, you are a girl, and you like hunting so much?" Look at the girls in our village who work at home. ”

"Second brother, I'm still young. You don't have to learn, do you? "Shen Qing is a little popular, but it's just not as good-looking as Lu's.

Han Yunqiao smiled: "It's time to learn in two years!" ”

"Then we'll talk about it in two years!" Shen Qing smiled: "By the way, second brother, when we hunt tomorrow, we must call the father of the rich brother, Gong Lizheng." ”

Han Yunqiao was suspicious, "What are you doing when you call Gong Li?" "Han Yunqiao and the others didn't know Shen Qing's plan at all, so they asked like this.

Shen Qing went around in circles: "It's Brother Fu who said, let's call his father when we go hunting, as for why, I don't know." If the second brother wants to know, let's ask Gong Lizheng early tomorrow morning! ”

"Yes!" Han Yunqiao didn't notice Shen Qing's secret at all.

The next day, Gong Lizheng came to Han's house early, but he didn't talk to Han Yunjing and them, after all, Liu Zhongtian in the village has a lot of dog legs, and he can't bring trouble to the Han family, and he can't let Liu Zhongtian find out that Gong Youfu went to Baoning County to study.

Shen Qing was having breakfast at the time, and when they saw Gong Li coming over, they sped up their meals, packed up their bows and arrows, back baskets, kettles, sickles, and a few sweet potatoes, and silently followed behind Gong Lizheng.

Han Yunqiao frowned: "Sister Qing'er, didn't you say that Gong Youfu asked us to go to Gong Lizheng in the morning?" Why is Gong Lizheng ignoring us now? ”

Shen Qing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

But you can also guess the approximate reason.

"I'll ask Gong Lizheng later!" Han Yunjing said.

Han Yunqiao nodded: "Catch up with Gong Lizheng and ask." ”
