Chapter 123: No More Trouble
"Brother Niu, give me a few more days. I will return the silver to you after I finish the imperial examination." Song Erlang lay on the ground like a stray dog. Hearing this, he got up with fear in his eyes and trembled: "I am just a poor scholar. Even if you kill me, I can't come up with 500 taels of silver within three days."
"That's your business." Brother Niu kicked Song Erlang to the ground: "I don't care whether you sell your life, house, land, or parents, just pay the silver back."
Song Erlang covered his painful chest and looked at the direction where Brother Niu left with a pale face. He felt that all the strength in his body was drained away, and he lay on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Fang Youtian couldn't help feeling proud when he saw him like this. Song Erlang ended up like this. Let's see what qualifications he has to look down on him!
He didn't have to pay back the money he owed to the gambling house, and Brother Niu gave him an extra five taels of silver as a reward.
Fang Youtian helped Song Erlang up hypocritically: "Don't be discouraged, isn't your cousin the Crown Princess? These five hundred taels of silver are just a drop in the bucket for you. If she refuses to help, you can sell the house."
"No, the house can't be sold. If I sell the house, my father will beat me to death." Song Erlang was too proud to sell his property, so he pinned his hopes on the imperial examination. As long as he passed the imperial examination, there would naturally be wealthy businessmen willing to pay him back, and he could pay back the five hundred taels of silver.
"What should I do? Brother Niu always keeps his word, and they won't blink an eye even if they kill people." Fang Youtian's soybean-sized eyes rolled around and he came up with a bad idea: "Why not do this? Your widowed sister-in-law is a burden, so just sell her and get some money to pay back some first, and pay back the rest after the provincial examination. Brother Niu is still easy to talk to as long as he can get the money, and he will definitely make some concessions."
Song Erlang wanted to refuse.
Fang Youtian continued to persuade him: "You can tell others that your widowed sister-in-law couldn't stand the torture and ran away, no one will doubt it."
Song Erlang fell into deep thought, did not speak, and gradually regained his composure.
He still has a way out.
Song Erlang got up from the ground, shook off the dust on his body, and walked towards Xinghua Village like a zombie.
Fang Youtian didn't get the definite answer, so he chased him: "Erlang...ah..."
Song Erlang punched Fang Youtian in the eye socket, his eyes were sinister, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Fang Youtian, it's better not that you set up a trap and dug a pit to pull me down. Otherwise, even if I die, I will drag you to hell!"
Fang Youtian was shocked and frightened to the point of being fixed in place.
Song Erlang's fists were clenched and cracked. Fang Youtian really had something to hide.
He will find out who wants to harm him!
Back at the Song family, Song Erlang saw Hu chopping pig grass in the yard. The sun shone on her pale and thin face, and she felt a bit beautiful in a trance.
Jiang came out of the kitchen and saw Song Erlang staring at Hu. Her face instantly darkened.
This bitch actually seduced her son!
She couldn't help but wonder if Song Erlang had pleaded for Hu before because he was attracted by her.
"Mother." Song Erlang called Jiang into the house and said to her: "I will take the provincial examination soon. The teacher said that I will definitely pass the examination. We can move our family to the capital and wait for the spring examination next year. I did some calculations. Our family is short of money. It's better to sell Hu to get money to go to Beijing. When I pass the examination, I will marry a young lady from an official family and let her serve you."
Jiang was cruel, but she had never thought of selling her daughter-in-law. She was shocked by Song Erlang's words.
She refused subconsciously: "No! If this gets known, it will break our family's backbone."
Song Erlang hesitated and said: "My son has no heart to study when he sees Hu. Mother, I can get married at my age."
Jiang's face changed drastically, and she gnashed her teeth and said: "Did this bitch really seduce you?"
Song Erlang did not speak.
Jiang thought he agreed, and was so angry that she wanted to chop Hu with a knife!
"This bitch is just a female cat in heat. She can't live without a man. I will fulfill her wish!" Jiang was ruthless: "Sell! Sell her to the brothel tonight!"
——
Gu family.
Gu Baozhu was sitting in the yard, and Su Wan was holding a wooden comb and braiding her hair.
"Sister-in-law, I came back from the town today and saw Aunt Hu cutting pig grass. She was so pitiful. She had a hole in her head and had to work. I helped her pull the pig grass, and heard her stomach growling, so I gave her a cake." Gu Baozhu stared at the shadow on the ground and couldn't help finding a topic to chat with Su Wan.
Su Wan paused and praised: "Zhuzhu is awesome."
Gu Baozhu smiled sweetly.
Su Wan twisted her braids into a flower bud, tied a bow with a pink ribbon, and then put on two pearl flowers, tidied the soft hair on her forehead, and lifted Gu Baozhu's pointed chin: "My third sister is so beautiful."
Gu Baozhu blushed, shyly twisted her butt towards Su Wan, wanting to hug her and act coquettishly.
"Sister-in-law is the most beautiful." Gu Jingyun pinched Gu Baozhu's cheek, "You are dark and ugly."
Gu Baozhu said angrily: "You are just jealous that sister-in-law likes me the most."
"No!" Gu Jingyun made a face at her: "Sister-in-law likes brother the most!"
"Gu Jingyun!" Gu Baozhu chased Gu Jingyun and beat him in anger.
Su Wan saw Gu Jingyun accidentally knock off the pearl flower on Gu Baozhu's head. Gu Baozhu picked it up, as if it was broken. Her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry the next moment.
Gu Jingyun hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to wipe Gu Baozhu's tears, and humbly coaxed her to stop crying.
"This is given to me by my sister-in-law. If you don't fix it, I will ignore you like a dog!" Gu Baozhu put the pearl flower in Gu Jingyun's hand, turned around and ran back to the house.
Gu Jingyun was very distressed, his eyebrows twisted into caterpillars.
Su Wan walked over, "I have a pair of similar pearl flowers in my room, you can take them to coax Zhuzhu."
"Sister-in-law, no need, I can fix it!" Gu Jingyun ran away.
Su Wan couldn't help laughing, but she felt that Gu Jingyun was quite responsible.
She looked in the direction of the Song family, her face full of worry. A day had passed, and she didn't know how Qi Guang was doing.
If there was no news today, she would go to ask about the situation tomorrow.
At night, Su Wan had just laid down when a stone hit the window and fell to the ground with a sound.
Su Wan immediately sat up, lit the oil lamp, and saw a paper ball wrapped in a stone on the ground.
She picked it up and unfolded the paper ball, which had a line of words written on it.
"Miss, the matter has been settled, how should Hu Shi be arranged?"
The big stone hanging in Su Wan's heart fell, and she planned where Hu Shi would go. If she stayed by her side, and Jiang Shi knew about it, she would definitely know that it was her trick, and she would definitely retaliate like crazy.
The most reliable way is to eliminate the trouble forever.
Su Wan wrote a letter to Qi Guang and continued to dig a hole to bury the Song family.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The door was knocked.
Mo Yuan's voice came from outside: "Mrs. Gu, the bracelet was found."
