Siheyuan: Sign in at the Beginning and Ask Chen Xueru to Borrow Money

Li Xiuzhu traveled to Peking in 1949 with only thirty cents left in his pocket and a torn cotton-padded jacket leaking cotton. He squatted at the entrance of the alley and thought for a long time, then stood up and went straight to Qianmen Street Silk and Satin Shop - asking Chen Xueru to borrow money. The clerk was about to evict someone. The landlady looked at him and saw that he was in rags. He grinned: Lend me some capital and I will repay you five times the principal with interest in three months.
