Qian Liang's father said, "If only we had gathered enough silver earlier, but we had just bought some acres of land a few days ago and now we are short on silver. Many families are now selling their fields and lands to raise silver, and land prices are definitely low, so I don't want to sell our land. I was thinking of borrowing some silver from my nephew Qian Sangui, and I'll repay it in a few months."
Without a second word, Qian Sangui smiled and had Lady Wu give him five taels of silver.
The next morning, Madam Hua also came; her family had also been allocated a conscription spot.
