Chapter 5 Five Taels of Silver (1/2)

Zhao Taohua returned to her villa, took out a piece of cake from the refrigerator, and took a big bite. However, she did not feel satisfied with the food, but only felt a deep heartache.

Five taels of silver, she must earn five taels of silver.

Back to reality.

She discovered that among the bowls of porridge, the brown rice porridge she and Cao'er had was the thickest. Suddenly, her emotions were boiling, and she said, "Brothers have to go to work tomorrow, so let the thicker ones be given to the eldest and second brothers. I'm not hungry today."

"What's going on? Don't we know whether you've eaten it or not?" Zhao Dazhu glared.

Zhao Taohua didn't say anything, she just endured it and ate her meal.

Then came a sleepless night.

How could she earn five taels of silver as quickly and reasonably as possible?

The next day, the Zhao brothers went to the town to do hard labor before dawn. Zhao Taohua took the old couple of the Zhao family and Cao'er to Song Lizheng's house.

Now that Zhao Taohua has divorced and Cao'er has broken off her engagement, Cao'er's household registration must be in Hexi Village.

Song Lizheng was a fair person, and coupled with the Zhao brothers' diligence in recent years, Lizheng's family was always available to help whenever there was something he wanted, and he had accumulated a lot of favors.

So registering the household registration is not a problem at all.

"Well... since Zhou Cao is registered, why not change his name while he's here? Cao'er is a vulgar name after all," Song Lizheng suggested thoughtfully.

Zhao Taohua had already planned to change her name, so she immediately said, "Well, I'll trouble Uncle Li Zheng, but I'll change it to... Sui An, which means peace and prosperity every year."

Song Lizheng's eyes lit up, "His name is Zhao Sui'an."

Cao'er was stunned and obviously liked the new name very much. Zhao Taohua subconsciously touched the little girl's head. Her previous life had a poor family and she devoted herself to her career. She never thought about getting married.

So when Zhao Taohua suddenly had such a daughter, she felt rare and happy.

After completing the household registration process.

Zhao Taohua's face showed a hint of embarrassment. After all, this was the first time she had done this. But after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and spread out the package on her body.

"Auntie, the village head, I just got divorced and have nothing. These are my dowry. I know that the village head's family is a wealthy family in our village. Can you take a look and see if there is anything you need? I want to exchange them for some silver and go out to do some business."

"You kid."

Seeing this, the village head's aunt looked helpless.

Knowing that Ma had thrown a tantrum yesterday, Taohua must have felt guilty and was planning to sell her dowry to find a way out for herself.

"Take it back quickly, fellow villagers. You are only worth a few dollars. If you want to do business, I can give you as much as you need," said the headwoman.

"Over the years, your four pillars have been helping with all the heavy work at home, and they haven't asked for any wages. How can I afford your dowry?"

Zhao Taohua understood after hearing this, that the kindness of the village head's family was the favors accumulated by the four brothers over the years.

If I really withdraw the money, I'm afraid this favor will be gone.

But these five taels of silver were too important to her, so she continued with a stiff upper lip: "Auntie, you can see that I won't be able to use this dowry in the future, so it's just sitting there... If you have a problem, I'll go to the pawnshop in town to exchange it tomorrow..."

"You silly child, the pawnshop in that town is a bloody business. Forget it, let me take a look and see what they are," the headwoman had no choice but to compromise.

In Zhao Taohua's package, there were several feet of cotton cloth that she had not used for more than ten years after her marriage, a plain silver hairpin, a pair of silver bracelets, and a pair of silver earrings that were taken from Zhou Miaoer.

But these were the dowries that the Zhao family carefully prepared for their daughter.

Old Man Zhao and Old Lady Zhao naturally knew about their daughter's plan. They really couldn't afford these things.

Fortunately, the village headwoman was also fair, and there was a strong sense of favor between them. In the end, she made the final decision and said, "Three taels of silver, no more. Taohua, if that's not enough, I can give you another two taels. We are from the same village, and I trust the character of your Zhao family."

When Zhao Taohua heard this, she almost kowtowed to the headwoman.

The three taels are favors, and the two taels are foreign debts.
