"Ah? One hundred taels?"

The embroidered women around him couldn't help but sniff, and my face suddenly turned pale.        ≈

One hundred taels.

I used to take the big bag of silver that Ping'er gave me, which was about 80 taels. In the past few months I moved to Jixiang Village, I have not been too frugal, and I only used more than 50 taels of silver, but even so, I still lost more than ten taels.

This is not a small amount. For example, the villagers in Jixiang Village cannot make so much money in a year.

Thinking of this, I forced a smile and said, "Can you lose less?"

Boss Wang smiled and said, "This lady, I haven't made things difficult for you. You might as well ask Boss Gao, every time he deposits, there are less than this amount."

Boss Gao, who had been standing next to him and watching the wall, said at this time: "Boss Wang is right. But, this time, can he be eased?"

"This is not possible. After all, it is her first time to come out to take on a job. If it weren't for your recommendation from Boss Gao, I might not have done it for her."

After all, he is a businessman. Boss Gao just said one thing, and it became a "recommendation" when he said it. If something goes wrong, Boss Gao will have some joint responsibility. When he heard what he said, Boss Gao stopped talking.

I thought about it and said, "I don't have so much money on me now. Boss Wang gives me some time and I'll find a way to make a comeback."

Boss Wang said, "Okay, but don't say I didn't remind you that my boss must be anxious. If you want to do it, it's best to get the money out within two days, otherwise I'll have to worry about it myself and go back to the capital to find someone else to do it."

"OK."

.

By the time we returned to Jixiang Village, it was already past.

I didn't expect it to take so long. But after leaving the embroidery workshop, I went to two small money shops, but I returned empty-handed. Not to mention that the interest they asked for was a bit scary, I was single, and I had no net worth guarantees for a single woman, and not many people dared to lend me money. The road was broken, so I could only find another way. Besides, I was afraid that Li Er would be in trouble at home. Although my steps were heavy on the way back, I still walked back as soon as possible.

Finally, I got home. Before I opened the yard, I heard Li'er crying loudly inside: "Mom must not want me anymore!"

When Yunxiang and I heard this, we were stunned.

Then he heard Aunt Zhao coaxing, "How could it be? Li'er is so obedient, how could your mother want to refuse you?"

"She must not want me anymore, wuwu..."

I don’t know if it’s angry or funny, but even though I feel tired, I feel warm when I think of my daughter being so attached to me.

Then he turned around and said to Yun Xiang, "I'll go back to see my daughter first."

Yunxiang nodded, and as she watched me push open the yard door and walk in, she suddenly stopped me: "Qingying."

I stopped and turned around: "Hmm?"

She said hesitantly: "Those money things..."

My heart was a little heavy, but I couldn't hurry up on the money, so I said, "I'll find another way."

"Well... OK."

She wanted to speak but stopped, but when I saw me anxious to see my daughter, I didn't say anything more. When I walked over and pushed open the door, I immediately saw Li'er's mouth as big as the room was deafening. The girl cried so hard that she burst into tears and hiccupped her. I hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her, kissing and red, and Aunt Zhao next to me was also sweating.

I finally coaxed her to stop crying, but I held my arm and refused to let go. I thanked Aunt Zhao for sending her out of the yard. After looking back, I still watched my daughter lean on me, like a cat begging for caress.

I smiled and said, "Li'er, you agreed to your mother when you woke up in the morning. You won't cry today."

"Um..." She pouted.

"You are so old, you are actually looking for your mother. I'm so embarrassed."

As I said, lit her little nose, and the girl blushed and fell into my arms. She said to me, "Mom, you said you will be back after a long time. Li'er has been waiting for you for a long time..."

"Okay, today I'm late for my mother. Mom is wrong. So if Mom often comes back very late in the future, will you cry every day?"

She didn't answer me, but was shocked: "Will mom come back very late every day in the future?"

"Yeah, maybe."

"Why? Mom, you didn't tell me why you left for so long today and didn't take Li'er with you."

I smiled and said, "Because, my mother is going to find many people, and each of them can embroider beautiful flowers, some of which are better than your Aunt Yunxiang."

"Really?!" She looked at me with wide eyes: "Have you found it?"

"Well, whether you can find it depends on whether my mother has time to go. Do you still want her to stay at home with you every day?"

“…”

This time she was in trouble. She frowned and thought for a long time before she said with some difficulty: "Then, can I agree to accompany me more in the future?"

Looking at her cute appearance, I felt that the fatigue of the whole day had disappeared, but I felt sad for her spoiled and attached, and kissed her face hard: "Okay, Mom promises you!"

.

In the next time, we have to find a way to raise the money.

Do you want to borrow it?

This is of course the easiest and easiest way to solve the problem. After all, there is a "big backer" between a river. Besides, this little money is not worth mentioning to Pei Yuanxiu, so it is of course easy to borrow.

But what if I borrowed it?

After all, a woman's money from a man will make people feel a little ambiguous. Besides, I know his feelings, so I should not have any involvement with him. After all, I leave his sight and hope that he can lose himself and find his own happiness. Why do I have to appear in front of him and disturb his heart?

Forget it, I am not at the end of my life now, so I can’t bother him if I can’t bother him.

But what else is there to do?

Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh a long time ago. Li'er beside me immediately murmured uneasyly. I hurriedly protected her sideways and stroked her spine carefully. She muttered twice, then got into my arms and fell asleep.

A child’s heart is broad.

Thinking of this, I gently caressed her with one hand, turning my head to go to bed. As soon as I turned my head, something fell out of my arms and fell on the edge of the pillow. When the moonlight shone through the window, it shone with a warm luster.

Looking at the faint silver light, a smile appeared on my face, and I slowly closed my eyes. But in the darkness, I could still see the silver light and a few clear words in the light-

Light

Liu San

Never leave

Never leave...

.

The next day, I went to several families in the village.

The result is of course returning empty-handed.

Jixiang Village is originally a small fishing village. People here rely on the weather for their own income. Even if they are a little more abundant, they can only make a new set of clothes during the holidays and eat meat twice a month, so how can they save too much savings? And even if there is one, facing a person like me who is not a relative or acquaintance, naturally, no one will be so stupid that they don’t give generously.

I hung my head and walked back with a little depressed look.

Could it be that I really have to cross the river to find Pei Yuanxiu?

Or take a look?

But it's only one day, and if you can't raise money tomorrow, this matter will be ruined.

Thinking of this, I sighed again. As soon as I turned a corner, I saw a familiar figure standing at the gate of the yard. It was Yunxiang, but she did not walk in, but stood at the door, as if thinking about something.

I walked over and said, "Yunxiang, why don't you come into the house? Come in quickly."

While saying that, he opened the yard gate and was about to welcome her into the door, but he saw Yunxiang standing there hesitantly, and I felt something strange and said softly: "Yunxiang, what's wrong?"

She looked up at me again, bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, and suddenly pulled me in again.

After entering the house and closing the door, she took out a cloth bag from her sleeve and stuffed it into my hand: "Have it."

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt the heavy weight in my hand. I hurriedly opened it and saw that it was two ingots of silver, about four or five taels.

I looked at her in surprise, with sweat all over Yun Xiang's forehead, and said in a low voice: "This is our family. I'll secretly take it out for you. You can make it together to see if you can make up a hundred taels."

"rue……"

"Don't tell Gou Er, the family has only a little money."

"..." I was so moved that I couldn't speak, my throat choked, and after a while, I said softly: "You - thank you."

She had been very nervous before, and it was thought that it was because the money was used to pay the money, which made her a little uneasy, but it had already been given to me. Instead, she calmed down a little, took a few breaths before saying, "Don't be polite to me. I'm also thinking about ourselves. If the embroidery workshop can continue to be built, our family will not be so difficult."

“…”

Although she said that, I also knew that it was really not easy for such a small family and in her situation. I thought about it and said, "Yun Xiang, if this job is finished, I will pay you dividends according to this number."

"Diployment? What does it mean?"

"..." I was stunned for a moment, and remembered that such a small family didn't understand what dividends were, so I smiled and said, "Anyway, the principal will be returned to you, and I will give you the profits at that time."

"This, there's no need."

"Don't refuse. You should help me like this, thank you."

As she said that, I held her hand and squeezed it gently. She raised her head and looked at me, and smiled.

Afterwards, I borrowed a son and weighed him. Yunxiang gave me four taels and eight coins of silver. I wrote a loan note to her. She didn't dare to take it home and was seen by Gou Er, so she hid it in her mother's house. Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao learned about this and lent me more than three taels of silver.

What I didn't expect was that later, there were several embroiderers from the village who secretly came over and lent me a few taels of silver.

I was so moved that I couldn't speak. One of the more stable embroidered ladies in their forties said, "You know that we are not helping you, but we have made the embroidery workshop and we will have a settlement in the future. You have to pay back all the money, so the loan note must be written clearly."
