Chapter 128 Not enough money
Uncle Liao said: "Okay, I will tell you the county number tomorrow."
Susie felt relieved and was about to go to the kitchen to boil water and wash up when Lao Wang came in.
Lao Wang came in and handed Uncle Liao a cigarette. Uncle Liao waved his hand, and Lao Wang gave the cigarette to Liu Zi, who didn't want it either.
Lao Wang held a match in his mouth, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "Two yuan per gram is too cheap. Why don't you add more? I have a lot of gold."
Uncle Liao shook his head, "I came here two years ago to collect gold. At that time, it was late and I stayed at the Huang family in the village."
"The old lady from the Huang family sold me a gold ring for two yuan per gram. If you don't believe it, you can ask."
After hearing this, Lao Wang thought about it in his mind. The family at the head of the village was indeed named Huang, and there was an old lady. If it was their first time here, they definitely couldn't know.
Lao Wang went out and muttered a few words to his wife, who hurried to Huang's house.
After a while, Lao Wang's wife came back and nodded to Lao Wang.
Lao Wang lit another cigarette, frowning and smoking hard.
He wanted to sell it, but he was afraid that the price would be too low and he would be deceived.
Lao Wang's wife whispered: "Why don't we just sell it? Aunt Huang said they are buyers from a regular factory and they do business according to rules."
"We hold that gold in our hands with fear, and we shouldn't eat or drink it. We can sell the gold so that we can buy Gangzi a wife."
Lao Wang took a few deep breaths and said, "Okay, sell it!"
He stood up and was about to walk into the house, but stopped again and said, "Where is Gangzi? Go and ask Gangzi to come back."
He was still a little worried. With his son here, they were two strong laborers, and they were at home, so they were not afraid even if something happened.
Lao Wang's wife hurriedly went out to find Gangzi.
After a while, Gangzi was found. Lao Wang bolted the door, held a chair against it, entered his room, closed the door again, crawled under the bed, and pulled out a small wooden box.
Lao Wang motioned to his wife, "Call him over."
"Let the cripple come here alone."
Lao Wang's wife quickly called Uncle Liao over.
Uncle Liao had a pen, pen and paper, and an abacus in his hand.
Lao Wang closed the door and then opened the small wooden box.
In an instant, a golden light seemed to illuminate the entire room.
The eyes of Lao Wang's family of three also shone. Only Uncle Liao was sitting on the chair, not even bothering to raise his eyelids. He had seen this thing too much, so it was not surprising.
Lao Wang first checked Uncle Liao's scale over and over several times. Every time Uncle Liao weighed a weight, Lao Wang had to take it over and weigh it again himself.
Uncle Liao wasn't surprised either. He weighed it once and wrote down the weight on paper.
Gangzi stood behind Uncle Liao, responsible for checking whether the number reported by Uncle Liao was the same as the number written down.
Uncle Liao remembered the numbers and gradually became less calm.
He hasn't finished weighing yet, and he already feels a little unsure. He may not have enough money!
After weighing all the gold, Uncle Liao took the abacus and added it up. The total was more than 1,700 grams.
One thousand five hundred grams costs three thousand yuan!
When they came out this time, Susie brought one thousand two thousand. He and Liu Zi brought a total of one thousand fourteen, which added up to only two thousand six.
Not enough money!
He didn't hide anything, "I didn't expect you to have so much gold here. We didn't bring enough money."
Lao Wang's wife was stunned, "I don't have so much money? What should I do?"
Uncle Liao pondered for a moment, "How about this? We can charge as much as we have, do you think it's okay?"
Lao Wang shook his head repeatedly, "That won't work. If you want, just take them away together and keep some. It's hard for me to handle this."
Uncle Liao stood up and said, "Let's do this. I'll discuss it with my two companions first."
He got up and walked out. Lao Wang hurriedly closed the small wooden box.
When Uncle Liao returned to the house, Su Qian and Liu Zi were both there. When he came in, they both asked at the same time, "How is it?"
Uncle Liao smiled bitterly, "The things are all real, but there are too many and we don't have enough money."
"They said they wanted to sell it, so they sold it together."
Susie and Liuzi looked at each other.
Susie asked: "How much difference?"
Uncle Liao handed the paper to her and said, "Read it yourself."
Susie quickly calculated that there were a total of 1,753 grams of gold, which equaled 3,506 yuan.
Not counting change, they were still nine hundred dollars short.
These days, nine hundred is not a small amount. Let alone nine hundred, it is ninety yuan, which most families cannot afford.
Uncle Liao naturally knew it well. He estimated that his mother-in-law could provide a hundred yuan, but what would a hundred yuan be used for?
Liu Zi also calculated in his mind that Uncle Qian's family might be able to borrow dozens or hundreds of yuan, but the difference was still too far.
Susie frowned and said nothing.
Nine hundred yuan is not a small sum, but she knows someone who can come up with the money.
Her grandma!
Xu Zhihui has been remitting 20 yuan of pension money to his parents every month for seven or eight years, but the old lady has not used the money much.
I can save more than 200 yuan a year and have more than 1,000 yuan in 78 years.
The old lady must have nine hundred yuan, but Susie couldn't ask for it. She also borrowed three hundred yuan from the old lady and hasn't paid it back.
Uncle Liao said: "This business has come to an end. I think we should try our best to get the business done."
This place is close, it takes less time, the cost is also small, and the quantity is large, so you can naturally make more money.
Susie thought for a while, "Well, I'll go back and get the money."
Uncle Liao and Liu Zi both looked at her in surprise, "Can you get so much money by yourself?"
Susie shook her head and whispered: "I can't take it out, but I have a place to borrow it."
"Besides, there's also the matter of the tractor. It's just a good idea to go back there and save the need for phone calls."
Uncle Liao thought for a while, "That's okay. Then tomorrow morning, let Liuzi accompany you for a walk. I'll wait for you here."
He was worried about Susie being a little girl running outside alone.
Susie nodded, "Okay, then I'll go to bed early and leave early tomorrow."
Liu Zi said: "There is a bus going to the city every day. There is one at around seven o'clock in the morning. Let's take that bus."
The two agreed on a time, and Susie simply washed up and went to sleep in Lao Wang's daughter's room.
When they got up early the next morning, fortunately, Lao Wang's wife had already cooked corn porridge. Su Qian and Liu Zi hurriedly ate a bowl and then went to catch the train.
The two walked for more than a mile and arrived at the road. After waiting for a short time, a car came.
It was still early and there were not many people on the bus. The two got on the bus, but found that there were no seats on the bus.
Susie and Liuzi kept standing for almost an hour, and finally arrived in the city.
After arriving in the city, they caught another train and took the train to the county. Liuzi borrowed Uncle Qian's donkey cart and hurried back to the Yangjiao production team.
Calculating it, the Yangjiao production team is actually not that far from Liujiagang, that is, two to three hundred miles. However, in this era of underdeveloped transportation, Su Qian and Liu Zi did not rest all the way, and it took more than six hours to get there.
.
Su Qian directly asked Liuzi to drive the car to Xu's house.
There isn't much farm work to do recently, and Xu Changgui is at home.
After Su Qian finished explaining the matter, Xu Changgui couldn't believe it, "Only three hundred and eighty?"
