Chapter 123: Never suffer future troubles
"Brother Niu, please give me a few more days. I will return the money to you after I finish the imperial examination." Song Erlang lay on the ground like a lost dog. Hearing the words, he jumped up and said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear. I'm just a poor scholar, even if you kill me, I won't be able to get out five hundred taels of silver in three days."
"That's your business." Brother Niu kicked Song Erlang to the ground: "I don't care whether you sell your life, your house, your land, or your parents. Just pay back the money."
Song Erlang covered his chest with severe pain and looked at the direction Brother Niu left with a gloomy face. He felt that all the strength in his body had been taken away and he was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Fang Youtian couldn't help but feel proud when he saw him like this. Seeing how Song Erlang had fallen into this fate, what right did he have to look down on him?
He doesn't have to pay back the money he owes to the gambling house, and Brother Niu will give him an additional five taels of silver as a favor.
Fang Youtian pretended to help Song Erlang up: "Don't be discouraged. Isn't your cousin the princess? These five hundred taels of silver are just drizzle to 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 taking the imperial examination. As long as he is admitted to the Juren Examination, there will naturally be wealthy businessmen willing to donate money to support him, and he will be able to repay the five hundred taels of silver.
"Then what should we do? Brother Niu always means what he says. They don't blink even if they kill someone." Fang Youtian's big eyes rolled around and he came up with a bad idea: "Why don't you do this? Your widowed sister-in-law is a burden, so just put her Sell it and pay back some money first, and then pay back the rest after the provincial examination. As long as Brother Niu can get the money, he will be easy to talk to and will definitely be accommodating. "
Song Erlang wanted to refuse.
Fang Youtian continued to persuade: "If you 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, said nothing, and gradually regained his composure.
He still has a way out.
Song Erlang got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards Xinghua Village like a zombie.
Fang Youtian didn't get the correct answer and chased after him: "Erlang...ah..."
Song Erlang punched Fang Youtian in the eye, his eyes were sinister, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Fang Youtian, it's best not for you to set up a trap and dig a hole to make me jump out. Otherwise, even if I die, I will drag you to hell!"
Fang Youtian was shocked and froze in place.
Song Erlang's fists clenched loudly, and Fang Youtian really had something in his heart.
He will find out who wants to harm him!
Back at Song's house, Song Erlang saw Mrs. Hu chopping pigweed in the yard. The sun shone on her pale and thin face, and she felt a bit beautiful in a daze.
Mrs. Jiang came out of the kitchen and saw Song Erlang staring at Mr. Hu, and her face instantly turned gloomy.
This bitch actually seduced her son!
I couldn't help but wonder if Song Erlang's previous plea for Mrs. Hu was because he was seduced by Mrs. Hu.
"Mother." Song Erlang called Jiang into the room and said to her: "I will take the provincial examination soon, and the master said that I will definitely pass the examination. We can move our family to the capital and wait for the Spring Festival next year. I have calculated it." Let’s face it, our family is short of financial resources, so it’s better to sell the Hu family to get some money and go to Beijing. When I pass the Jinshi exam, I’ll marry a lady from an official family and let her serve you.”
Jiang was cruel, but he had never thought of selling his daughter-in-law, and was shocked by Song Erlang's words.
She subconsciously refused: "No! If people find out about this, our family's backbone will be broken."
Song Erlang hesitated and said: "When my son saw Mrs. Hu, he didn't want to study. Mother, I can marry a wife at this age."
Jiang's expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Did this bitch really seduce you?"
Song Erlang didn't speak.
Jiang took it as acquiescence and was so angry that she wanted to chop Hu with a knife!
"This bitch is just a horny female cat. She can't live without a man, so I will help her!" Jiang said fiercely: "Sell! I will take her to the brothel and sell her tonight!"
——
Gu family.
Gu Baozhu was sitting in the yard, and Su Wan was braiding her hair with a wooden comb.
"Sister-in-law, I came back from town today and saw Aunt Hu cutting pigweed. She was so pitiful. She had a hole in her head and she had to work. I helped her pull out the pigweed and heard her stomach growling. She's a pancake." Gu Baozhu stared at the shadow on the ground and couldn't help but find a way to chat with Su Wan.
Su Wan paused and praised, "Zhuzhu is awesome."
Gu Baozhu smiled sweetly.
Su Wan twisted her braid into a bud, tied a bow with a pink ribbon, put on two beaded flowers, arranged the soft hair on her forehead, and raised Gu Baozhu's pointed chin: "My third sister is so beautiful."
Gu Baozhu blushed and wiggled her butt towards Su Wan shyly, 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 my sister-in-law likes me the most."
"No!" Gu Jingyun made a face at her: "Sister-in-law likes eldest brother the most!"
"Gu Jingyun!" Gu Baozhu became angry and chased Gu Jingyun to fight.
Su Wan saw Gu Jingyun accidentally knocking off the flower beads on Gu Baozhu's head. When Gu Baozhu picked it up, it seemed that she had broken it. Her eyes were red and she seemed to be crying next moment.
Gu Jingyun hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to wipe Gu Baozhu's tears, and coaxed her not to cry in a low voice.
"My sister-in-law gave this to me. If you don't fix it, I'll treat you like a puppy!" Gu Baozhu put the pearl flower in Gu Jingyun's hand, turned around and ran back into the house.
Gu Jingyun was extremely distressed, his eyebrows twisted into caterpillar shapes.
Su Wan walked over and said, "I have a pair of similar pearl flowers in my room. You can use them to coax Zhu Zhu."
"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 with worry on her face. One day had passed and she didn't know how Qi Guang's affairs were going.
If there is no news today, she will ask about the situation tomorrow.
At night, just as Su Wan lay down, a stone smashed in through the window and made a sound as it fell to the ground.
Su Wan immediately sat up, lit the oil lamp, and saw a paper ball wrapped with stones on the ground.
She picked it up and unfolded the ball of paper. There was a line of words written on it.
"Miss, the matter has been settled, how should Mrs. Hu arrange it?"
Su Wan's heart dropped as she planned where Hu would go. If she stayed with him and let Jiang know about it, she would definitely know that it was her who was responsible, and she would definitely come back with crazy revenge.
The safest way is to avoid future troubles forever.
Su Wan wrote back a letter to Qi Guang and continued to dig holes to bury the Song family.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
Mo Yuan's voice came from outside: "Ms. Gu, I found the bracelet."
