Chen Jia hurried back and told Fan Yong and Huo Tingying what Yuan Liuye had said. When they heard it, they asked for a thousand taels of silver, which made them big-headed.

This is an astronomical figure for them, where can they get it?

There are only a dozen apprentices in the entire martial arts hall, and each person's annual tuition is only a few taels of silver. He just gave the one hundred taels of silver that he finally collected to Yuan Liuye, where can he still have the money?

"You two, think of a solution. I will go back now. Tian He's mother and his sister are still waiting for news from me." Fan Yong said, "Let's think of a solution together. In short, we must rescue Tian He."

"Okay, then go slower on the road." Chen Jia said.

Fan Yong returned to Tianhe's house and told the situation to his mother, his sister, and Xing Lizheng. When everyone heard this, their scalps went numb and they were helpless. One thousand taels, for a farmer, was simply too much.

Dare to imagine something.

The next day, it’s New Year’s Eve. Who is still in the mood to celebrate the New Year when something like this happens?

Fan Yong and Xing Lizheng took all the money at home, but it was less than fifty taels. Zhang Tian, ​​his mother and his sister had even less money, so they all pooled it together, and it was less than one hundred taels.

Xing Lizheng went out and borrowed money from relatives and friends again, but he didn't have a few taels of silver. The war was going on these days, and there was no food to eat. Many people had never seen what money looked like in their lives. Where could they borrow money?

What should I do?

Xing Lizheng thought that this incident happened because of him. If he hadn't coveted Wu Dalang's twenty taels of silver and promised him to propose marriage, how could he have gotten to this point? From beginning to end, it was all his fault. The more he thought about it,

The more he hates himself, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels sorry for his friends. When he becomes narrow-minded, he no longer wants to live.

Coincidentally, he happened to walk to a river. The water was bottomless, the current was very fast, and it was not frozen. He also knew that he was a landlubber and couldn't swim. He thought that this might be God's will, and this was it.

The best place for him to be buried.

He stood by the river, looked and looked and thought again and again, and with a sudden change of heart, he was ready to jump down.

At this time, a man happened to come over, it was Wang Fugui. Because he was kind-hearted and generous with money, he was nicknamed "Wang Laohao".

This old man Wang was very rich and his family had a big business, but in his generation, firstly, he is lazy, loves to drink, and does not do his job properly. Secondly, he is easy to fool, and his relatives and friends come to borrow money from him. Most of them just borrow money.

If you don't return it, or you get something very cheap and sell it to him at a high price, he will buy it as soon as he says a few nice words. For example, someone brings a donkey and tells him how good it is, or even

He also believes that this donkey can do mathematics. He also believes that this donkey is better than a horse. A horse is worth ten taels of silver. This donkey is worth at least a hundred taels of silver. He is also willing to buy it. This is what he is like.

As a result, over a long period of time, the family business has almost been ruined by him. Until now, he has not even married a daughter-in-law.

Today, he happened to be passing by here. When he saw Xing Li standing by the river, seeking death, he was so frightened that he rushed over to stop him.

At this time, there was a "plop" sound, and Xing Lizheng jumped down. Mr. Wang took a good look and didn't have time to think too much. He didn't even take off his clothes and shoes and jumped down. Fortunately, Mr. Wang is good at water.

It was pretty good. After struggling for a long time, Xing Lizheng was finally rescued.

Xing Lizheng had half-full of wine and fell into a coma. Wang Laohao helped him pinch his throat, gave him artificial respiration, and beat his chest. After working for a while, Xing Lizheng finally regained consciousness.

.

"Doctor Xing, Dr. Xing, wake up, what are you doing? What happened to you, why can't you think about it?"

When Xing Lizheng saw that it was Mr. Wang, he cried and said, "Why did you rescue me? You just let me die. Wait a minute, if you leave, I will still have to die."

“Dr.

"You?" Xing Lizheng shook his head, "It's all in vain if I tell you this."

"Tell me about it."

So Xing Lizheng told the general story of how Wu Dalang came to propose marriage, how Zhang Tianhe was imprisoned, and now the government asked for one thousand taels of silver, etc.

"Oh, I understand. After all, you just want a thousand taels of silver. It doesn't matter. I have it and I'll give it to you." Mr. Wang said easily.

"Really? Are you kidding me?" Xing Lizheng looked at Mr. Wang and asked in disbelief.

"I only have two or three hundred taels in cash, but it doesn't matter. I still have a house and land. I can sell it cheaper, so it should be about the same." Wang Laohao said seriously.

"I'm afraid this won't work. If you sell your house and land, where will you live?"

"Isn't there a Tutu Temple on the back mountain? I can live there," Wang Laohao said. "First, rescue Zhang Tianhe. Anyway, I'm alone. I just have a place to sleep."

Just like that, three days later, Wang Laohao really sent a thousand taels of silver.

Zhang Tian, ​​his mother and sister were so moved that they didn't know what to say.

Let Fan Yong take the money to the county.

Over there, Chen Jia and Huo Tingying collected more than a hundred taels. In this way, Chen Jia found Yuan Liuye with the money. When the county government officials saw that they had indeed collected the money, they released Zhang Tianhe.
