Chapter 100
"Auntie, I also want to contact my family sooner, but I don't even have a copper coin with me."

This is a more realistic question.

Things can be done with one phone call in modern times, but the steps in ancient times are much more complicated.

To contact your family, you have to send a letter.

Family letters require the most basic brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, but they are not available at home, so they need to be purchased, which will cost money.

In ancient times, communication was underdeveloped, and flying pigeons to send letters was the method of big bosses. Poor people would hire someone to take them. It must cost money.

In ancient times, the transportation was underdeveloped, and the messengers walked slowly, and they couldn't arrive at the series for ten days and a half months.

During the period of waiting for the reply, he needs to find accommodation, food, etc., all of which cost money.

In other words, because Zhang Daxian had no money, he temporarily relied on Ye Bing, his lifesaver.

I feel that although she is a year older and a lot uglier, she is kind-hearted with a red heart.

Give him a blank stare to experience for himself, whether it is a compliment or a detriment to her, he really can't speak.

He picked up a wooden basin, pulled off the washcloth, and then walked towards the yard, not forgetting to remind.

"I said Zhang Daxian, it's not good for you to rely on anyone. We are the poorest family in Zhujia Village. We don't have enough to eat, so how can we keep you as an outsider?"

Zhang Daxian, who had already experienced the poverty of his family, did not reply. After all, when he went to bed last night, he had been worried about sleeping in the thatched hut, which caused him to have two dark circles under his eyes this morning and he did not dare to fall asleep all night.

Ye Bing put the wooden basin on the table, then picked up the water ladle to scoop out an appropriate amount of cold water from the water tank and put it into it.

Due to the low temperature in the early morning, it feels refreshingly cool after washing, which makes people shiver uncontrollably.

The mind is also cleared up a lot at this moment, she directly suggested to him.

"Zhang Daxian, I think so, you take the jade pendant and clothes to the pawn shop in the county to exchange for money, so that you can directly spend the money and go home directly in a ox cart or horse-drawn carriage, which is more reliable than sending letters."

Although a gentleman loves money, he takes it in a proper way.

This principle was taught by the courtyard mother.

The favor of saving her life is just a small effort. If the other person has money and is willing to repay, she can accept it, but if not, she doesn't need it.

As a human being, you have to learn to be flexible. Being rigid can sometimes really harm others and yourself.

But Zhang Daxian didn't think so. He felt that a country woman who didn't appreciate money was probably a fool.

He doesn't know how other people understand it, but he has already positioned Ye Bing as a fool with little money and easy to deceive.

In this way, he was even more unwilling to leave like this, but directly opened his mouth to complain.

"Auntie, my jade pendant is not simple. It is passed down from my ancestors. According to the rules, it will be given to my future wife, so I cannot use it as a gift."

This man almost died in the mountains, and he was still thinking about his future wife. I really don’t know what these ancient people were thinking.

If she had such a good thing, she would sell it without hesitation when faced with this kind of dilemma.

Things are gone, and I can buy better ones in the future.

When life is gone, nothing is left.

But she couldn't force others to buy or sell, so she reluctantly reminded her again.

"Then pawning off your clothes should be enough for your travel expenses home!"

Zhang Daxian has been accustomed to spending money lavishly since he was a child. For him, a few taels of silver is not enough for a meal. How can he pay for travel? His eyebrows are twisted together when he thinks about it.

"Auntie, you are looking down on me. I used to go out in sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages. There are dozens of maids and servants around me. A few taels of silver are definitely not enough."

Yes, this is the legendary rich second generation!
