Chapter 482 Borrowing Money
Liu Cuihong was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Villager A laughed. "What else could it mean? You might not be able to save even two taels of silver a year. If we were to lend you ten taels, it would probably take five or six years, or even seven or eight years to pay it back. We're not that stupid to just lend it to you."
"If something happens to you during this period and your child doesn't recognize you, who will I turn to for the child?"
"I think the seagull you caught has quite a bit of meat. If you sell it to me, I can give you two taels of silver."
"Bullshit!" Liu Cuihong became even angrier. "This seagull is so big, you can tell it's worth a lot of money. I heard that the rich people in the city love giants like this. If I take it to the city, I can sell it for ten taels of silver."
Villager A didn't get angry either. He said sarcastically, "You already said it's only worth ten taels in the city, and this isn't the city. This seagull is so big, it would cost a lot of money just to transport it to the city."
"By the time you bring the seagulls to the city, your man might die from all the medical treatment."
Liu Cuihong was stunned, with a conflicted look on her face. Obviously, she knew that what he said was true.
Villager B said, "Mrs. Gao, he's right. If you want your husband to live, you have to sell the seagull now to raise money for his medical treatment."
Villager C said, "Yes, this seagull is rare, but right now nothing is more important than your man's life. If he can catch the first one, he can catch the second one."
Villager Ding said: "That's right, you have to prioritize."
Liu Cuihong gritted her teeth and said, "But two taels of silver is too little. Even if I sell the seagull, it won't be enough to treat my husband's illness. When the seagull is gone, there will be no money left. How will we, an orphan and a widow, live?"
"Rather than this, I might as well not treat my husband in the first place. The money left after selling the seagull can support me and my child for a long time, so that I won't end up with nothing."
The villagers frowned at the same time. They didn't expect Liu Cuihong to think so.
Villager A winked at the other villagers.
The other villagers understood and said, "You are so cruel."
"Yeah, you can't do such an inhumane thing just because your parents-in-law are dead."
"No matter what, no matter how much money you make, you should give it a try."
"You are so heartless. How are you going to face your parents-in-law after you die?"
Liu Cuihong didn't care about that. She snorted, "Who told you not to lend me money? If you have such a sense of justice, then lend me ten taels of silver. You just keep talking about me. You don't know the pain until the stick hits you. I can't afford to raise the child in the future. You give me money to raise him."
When those people heard her say this, they immediately took several steps back as if they were worried about being stuck to her.
Seeing that no one dared to help him, and knowing that Liu Cuihong would definitely not sell without more money, Villager A said helplessly, "I am a good person after all, but I really can't come up with ten taels of silver. How about this, six taels of silver? If you promise, I will pay you immediately and take the seagull away."
Liu Cuihong thought it was too little, "No, it must be ten taels, or get out!"
"You!" Villager A had no choice but to agree, "Then you have to wait for me for a while. I don't have enough silver. I need to borrow some money."
