   Chapter 998 IOUs

   In desperation, he had no choice but to sigh and say, "My son, please come out with forty-five taels of silver."

  Miss Mi reluctantly said, "How can the family afford such a large sum of money."

   Yang couldn't wait to say: "I heard some time ago, didn't His Majesty reward you with 12 taels of gold?"

   Mi's head turned abruptly. As soon as Yang's eyes met her, he immediately lowered his head in a guilty conscience.

Mi's snorted coldly: "The 12 taels of gold are the royal gift of His Majesty, and there is an official seal on it. For our family, no, it is a great honor for the Zhuang family and the entire Lihua Village, we have not yet As for the heat, how can you just take it out like this? You can't even think of hitting that gold idea."

   Those money are for their family's future, just in case, the old couple are reluctant to use it, how could it be used on the outsiders who have hurt them!

  The rest of the people watching the fun also talked a lot.

   "Yes, if it were me, I would be reluctant to use it. I would never use it unless it was a last resort."

   "Me too, if it were me, I would pass down the gold as a family heirloom. In front of future generations, it would be a very shameful thing."

   "More than in front of future generations, even if you die and go to see your ancestors, you will be able to straighten your back. After all, being able to be gifted with gold is a happy event for honoring the ancestors, and they don't lose face."

  …

Seeing that everyone disapproved, Zhuang Qinglu said anxiously: "Uncle Tang, please help us. My son has reached the age of marriage. If there is no house or property, our house in the city will also be rented. Yes, it’s still the cheapest kind of house, a family of four sleeps in one room, and I don’t know when my daughter-in-law will be able to enter the house in the future.”

"Since the accident, the family that was engaged to my eldest son knew about their affairs for some unknown reason, and the woman let it go, saying that if there is no house, no property, no betrothal gift, and if they have to rent a house in the city to live in the future, Cancel the engagement."

  Li was hesitating for a while, but after all, he couldn't bear to see their family turn into that, and whispered to his wife: "In addition to the gold, how much money can our family spend? Is it enough for forty-five taels?"

Mi Shi knew that he was soft-hearted, and although he was reluctant to pay, it was not easy to refute his face in front of everyone, and said, "You don't know how much our husband and wife have? Maybe Qinghe can provide twenty dollars. Two."

   "Then go to him, we will pay twenty-five taels, Qinghe will pay twenty taels, and the money will be enough."

   "Can Qinghe be willing?"

   "He has always been filial. As long as I speak, he should agree."

  Mi's had to tell his grandson next to him to find his father.

Li Zheng saw that the two were still kneeling, and said lightly: "Okay, get up. Qinglu, for your dead father's sake, I will lend you the money today, write the IOU, and I will give it to you. Yinzi, there are so many people here, and some of them can read, I will never cheat on you."

   When Mi Shi heard the words, he immediately turned around to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

  Zhuang Qinglu said: "We are relatives, do we also need to write an IOU?"

Mrs Yang also said: "Yes, Uncle Tang, we are all in the same family, and writing an IOU is too unfamiliar, so I'll avoid it. You also know that there is a business in our city. Although it is small, it is stable and can be guaranteed. pay you back."
