I originally thought that Bieye was just a love brain and only treated her like this, but now I suddenly learned that as long as it was someone he really cared about, he would be kind to that person without asking for anything in return.

She is no exception.

Gu Rao felt a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly I remembered something.

"You saw that coffin at Carpenter Tan's house last time. The reason why you were so moved and wanted to buy a coffin early to prepare it was because of what happened to your father?"

Use an affirmative tone.

Bieye said, "Be prepared."

Gu Rao rolled his eyes.

"We will all live a long life. Don't think about nonsense. As long as I am at home, no coffin is allowed in the house until I am sixty years old!"

Not only did she feel frightened when she saw the coffin when she passed by it every day, but if she had children in the future, they would also be scared when they saw it.

Beye Ye's expression was a little regretful.

"Listen to you."

What he was embarrassed to say was that when he was a child, he almost sold himself to bury his father, which made him have an obsession since he was a child. You should buy yourself a coffin before the age of thirty.

After I got my wife, I set a goal of buying coffins for myself and my wife before I turned thirty.

Now it seems that this goal cannot be achieved.

but.

Rao'er is right, they will definitely live a long life, and it is not impossible for the coffin to be placed decades later.

Gu Rao was satisfied.

"I was kidding you just now, who wants to use you as a mortgage?"

"You are willing to give up, but I am not willing to give up. You are mine now, and you can't mortgage yourself to anyone privately in the future!"

The tone was a little domineering.

Bieye did not feel disgusted, but felt at ease in his heart.

"it is good."

Only then did Gu Rao get back to business.

"Don't we still have three acres of land? We bought it for nearly twenty taels of silver. How much can we mortgage it with the bank?"

Bieye shook his head.

"do not know."

Gu Rao stood up and said, "Let's go and ask now."

Bieye asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Gu Rao said, "I'm not tired now. It's important to do business. We have to open the door for business tomorrow. We should seize the time to make money. We don't have time to go to the bank. While there is still time today, do everything that needs to be done."

"By the way, when did you wake up at noon?"

Bieye said truthfully, "I didn't sleep."

Gu Rao then said, "Then you stay at home and rest early. I can go alone. You don't need two people for this kind of thing."

Without giving Bieye a chance to refuse, he turned around and walked downstairs.

Bieye followed behind.

Gu Rao turned around and said, "You're not a tough guy. You've been walking all day today. Stay at home. I'm not a waste. I can't even do this well."

"Waiting for my good news at home!"

After saying that, he disappeared from the door.

-

Gu Rao jogged for a short distance and looked back several times, but after deciding that Bieye was not following him, he walked to the bank with confidence.

I've passed by it several times before, but this is the first time I went in.

"Boss, what should I prepare for borrowing money?"

There was only one shopkeeper in the store at this time, and he was standing behind the counter with his head down and typing the abacus carefully. When he heard the woman's voice, he looked up and was shocked when he saw Gu Rao's appearance.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

Gu Rao stretched out five fingers.

Zhu Xingxing said, "Ten taels of silver, go and sit down next to me first, and I will tell you how to borrow it after I finish calculating the accounts here."

Gu Rao said, "It's best to borrow a hundred taels of silver. The more, the better."

Zhu Xingwang was extremely surprised when he heard this, and his head that had originally been lowered to look at the abacus and account books was raised again.

"Do you know the rules of the bank for borrowing money?"

Gu Rao shook his head.

"I know a little bit, but it's not too detailed. Can you tell me a little bit?"

Zhu Xingwang said, "The bank's interest for borrowing money for one year is double the principal. Are you sure you want to borrow one hundred taels of silver?"

Gu Rao said, "I won't borrow for a year, but only for two months. Can you give me a lower interest rate?"

Zhu Xingwang seemed to have heard some joke.

"You come here to borrow money, which means you are short of that one hundred taels. Are you sure you can earn enough one hundred taels of silver and two months' interest within two months?"

Gu Rao smiled and said, "Whether I can earn it or not is up to me. The shopkeeper can just tell me whether to lend it to me or not."

She has nothing to say to this kind of black-hearted businessman. They just need each other to get what they need. Once this difficulty is over, they will probably never have any interactions with each other in the future.

When it comes to borrowing money, one time is enough.

If it hadn't been for the restaurant this time, she really liked it and was very optimistic about the development prospects of doing business on that land, so she wouldn't have come to borrow a loan shark.

Doubling the interest rate is even more outrageous than borrowing from a loan shark!

If there wasn't only such a bank in town, she would have doubted the legitimacy of this bank!

Zhu Xingwang said, "Come to the bank to borrow money. To borrow one hundred taels of silver, you must pledge property worth at least fifty taels. Have you brought it with you?"

Gu Rao took out the land deed.

"Are you okay with this?"

Zhu Xingwang took it and took a look, then shook his head.

"Your three acres of land are worth at most twenty taels of silver. I will lend you at most forty taels of silver. The short-term interest will be a little higher than the long-term interest, and it will increase by 20%."

"Are you sure you only want to borrow it for two months?"

Gu Rao's mouth twitched sharply.

Is this really a bank and not a place to steal money?

too exaggerated!

Who would dare to borrow money from them?

"According to your wishes, if I borrow forty taels of silver from you, I will pay you back eighty-eight taels of silver in two months?"

Zhu Xingwang's eyes were surprised.

"You figured it out so soon?"

"Wait a minute, let me do the math."

After all, he had been a shopkeeper for so many years and had to deal with money every day. His arithmetic ability was better than that of ordinary people, and he could calculate it without fiddling with the abacus a few times.

"It's indeed eighty-eight taels of silver."

The look in Gu Rao's eyes was different.

There is admiration and appreciation, but more of it is regret. It's a pity. If he were a man, he could be hired as a bookkeeper.

Gu Rao, "..."

Very good, they were willing to lend her a little even though they could rob her of money.

But the price of borrowing money is too high.

She was so passionate about success that she wanted to stop at nothing to buy the restaurant in three days. She was no longer as eager to get the restaurant as before.

Sometimes people really have to do what they can.

"I won't borrow it anymore. I'm leaving."

Zhu Xingwang took his time.

"The rules in the bank cannot be broken. If a special exception is made for you, others will also ask for special exceptions after knowing it. Therefore, the interest must not be less for you, but if you borrow it for a year, I can lend it to you." I’ll give you one hundred taels of silver, and I’ll give you one more month to pay back the money.”

Gu Rao shook his head.

"I can't afford it."

After coming out of the bank, Gu Rao was a little frustrated. When he came here, he still had some hope, but he didn't expect that he was disappointed.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Come to save money?"

Gu Rao looked behind him and saw that the person walking towards him was the apprentice he had accepted some time ago who was one year older than him.

"Come and borrow money."

Gao Caitong was stunned.

"Didn't you just get three hundred and five taels of silver from selling jewelry last time? You used it up so quickly, and you have to go to the bank to borrow money before you are short?"

"How much to borrow?"

"Why don't you come to me? I am your apprentice after all. If you want to borrow money, as long as the amount is what I can afford, it's not like I won't lend it to you."
