Chapter 68 Raising Money

These sixty taels are used to buy land, just buy ordinary ones, four taels per mu, or fifteen acres, all of which can be used to grow cotton! Although it is very different from her original idea, it can only be like this for now!

The family will work harder next year, and I believe the year after will be much better.

When Lian Fangzhou said that he would spend all his money—even the charcoal money that had not been burned to buy land to grow cotton, the family was stunned.

Grandma Sangu was the first to refuse, and she said angrily and anxiously: "Fangzhou, don't be stupid! Everyone has been talking about this for the past two days. I can't wait to get away from it, and no one will take the initiative to lean on it! It's really a good thing. The government has already done it for those big landlords and big country gentry. Can you think of our little people? I heard, huh, those rich and rich landlords have discussed it with the county government. If you plan to spend money to buy seeds and throw them away, then the tax will be paid, and some are too lazy to buy seeds! Hmph, the government is just bullying us, the little people, who said we have no money and no way! You buy land It's a good idea, but you can't grow those kind of flowers, and flowers can be worn as clothes. It's really a shame for those people to say it! It's a fool to be a human being!"

"Sister, what the third aunt said makes sense. Why did you think of planting this cotton?" Lian Ze also asked.

Lian Che and Lian Fangqing were still young, so they could only listen and not speak.

Lian Fangzhou said: "I just want to try it. I think the government will not deceive people! This is not a trivial matter! If so many people are involved, aren't they afraid of making trouble? Besides, cotton can do Clothes, even if you want to weave this kind of lie, you can’t make it up? I think it’s true! Ge Ma can spin yarn and weave cloth. Just by looking at the grass growing in the field, can you imagine that it has something to do with cloth? Let’s try it out Try it! Anyway, I bought it back, and if I get fooled next year, the big deal is not to plant the next year! Even next year, we may have to live a little harder!"

Lian Ze has always listened to Lian Fangzhou, so he nodded and said, "I think what my sister said makes sense, there is nothing wrong with trying it! And when the weather is warmer next year, we can go to Xianteng Mountain to pick mushrooms and sell them for money! I can still hunt! Brother Ah Jian also said that I don’t have time to burn charcoal now, so I’ll take a walk to Xian Teng Mountain after a while!”

Ah Jian smiled lightly, and said, "I heard that Xian Teng Mountain is a good place, I want to go to see and see!" As for cotton farming, he is not from this family and does not express his opinion.

"Who said that!" The third aunt persuaded Lian Fangzhou anxiously and painstakingly, but Lian Fangzhou made up her mind and would change, Lian Ze also supported her, the third aunt was anxious and said, "Even if you really want to plant so much cotton, what about the seeds? Not so many seeds!"

"It's not easy! Find Lizheng to buy it, anyway, many people don't want to plant it!" Lian Che said: "And our sister sent charcoal to Lizheng Uncle, Lizheng Uncle will definitely help with this!"

"Yeah! You child!" The third aunt glared at Lian Che when she heard the words.

Lian Fangzhou's eyes flashed, and he quickly asked, "How do you know that I sent charcoal to the Lizheng family?"

Although she brought two small ones with charcoal that day, she never told them about sending charcoal to Niu. She only needs Niu to remember her goodness, there is no need to spread it.

Moreover, it is not beautiful when it is publicized, after all, my family is an orphan's home!

"I know! I know!" Lian Fangqing hurriedly said, "Zhang Yan told someone!"

Zhang Yan? Rizheng's daughter? Lian Fangzhou was stunned for a moment, then there was nothing he could do!

She thought for a while, then said, "Qing'er, Che'er, you guys will pick up another basket of charcoal later and send it to Uncle and Aunt!"

"Why? I don't want it!" Lian Fangqing pouted. Even Che did not agree.

"Okay, our family picked up so many pieces of charcoal and came back. It's enough for the whole winter. It's nothing to give them a little bit! Be obedient!" Lian Fangzhou laughed.

"Understood, sister! Wait for the fourth sister and I to dress up later!" Lian Che said.

Lian Fangqing pouted and said nothing.

"You're quite generous!" Grandma Sangu gave Lian Fangzhou a white look, and was about to say something along the way, when she suddenly thought that this was what Lian Fangzhou ordered to change the subject on purpose? He gave up his thoughts and continued to chant: "Fangzhou, you really can't get ahead with that kind of cotton thing! If one doesn't work, you'll waste your land and money, and you'll be laughed at! Why don't you try planting first next year? The portion that deserves it, if it’s good, it’s okay to have more in the next year!”

This is true. Lian Ze looked at Lian Fangzhou. However, if Lian Fangzhou insisted on his own opinion, he would also support it.

"Grandma San, it's settled!" Lian Fangzhou sighed, "What have you been doing for me these two days? I wanted to borrow money to buy more land, but unfortunately I couldn't borrow it! So I had to first It's been more than ten acres!"

When she said this, several people were taken aback.

"You're really—" The third aunt suddenly moved in her heart and said, "Did you really borrow money?"

"Yeah!" Lian Fangzhou nodded, answering the question she asked later.

Grandma San aunt said: "Look, others are unwilling to borrow money, it means this is not reliable! But you have to be obsessed with it! There is a family that you can try, if they are unwilling to lend money, then It means that you really can't do this, so you can get rid of this idea, how about it?"

Lian Fangzhou ignored what the third aunt persuaded her, and only grabbed the front part and hurriedly asked, "I don't know which family the third aunt is talking about?" Maybe she can give it a try! As long as there is a silver lining, she will try her best to fight for it.

The third aunt said: "Don't you remember? You also have a cousin named Fang Qing, who was married to the Su family in the neighboring county Shuangliu County four years ago as a daughter-in-law! The Su family is a wealthy family, and your cousin-in-law has a son and a daughter-in-law in the family. A daughter! There are countless fertile fields and countless shops, and she is very rich! Her mother and your mother are cousins, and your grandmother and her grandmother are real sisters!"

After hearing this, Lian Ze showed a stunned expression, and said, "My mother seemed to have told us before, that our cousin lived with her at her grandmother's house for a while when she was a child, and she was the closest to her! She died of illness a few years ago! My cousin has only one daughter, my cousin Fang Qing. My mother used to help her, but their family moved away. I heard that she was married to a big family in Shuangliu County. No more contact!"

Lian Fangzhou was a little confused, but he understood two things. One was that the two families were related, but they hadn't moved around for a long time; the other was that the two families were quite distant...

Borrowing money from a distant relative who has not been around for a long time, although he has some connections with the previous generation, I am afraid it is really difficult.

However, Lian Fangzhou decided to give it a try - maybe, in case, it will happen?
