Xiao Zhu's eyes lit up. She picked up the handkerchief and wiped the sparkle at the corners of her eyes: "We are also unlucky. What others randomly picked up was imperial green. We opened so many of them and they all came out with low-quality jade. The ones we opened later were also used by others. He snatched it away, otherwise the few yuan sold would be enough to compensate for it!"
Wen Yu wiped her tears and said angrily: "As for the House of the God of Plague, nothing good will happen to our family if we meet them! We are so unlucky! Stay away from them in the future! Don't ask them for anything!"
Mrs. Zhu sighed, glanced at Mr. Wen and said nothing.
Mr. Wen is very upset!
Wen Jiafu had a gloomy look on his face: "Tell me, could it be that the fourth child deliberately tricked me into doing this?"
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence
Wen Liang said angrily: "It has nothing to do with their family anyway!"
Guo Qianni didn't say anything. Could it be possible that the people in the fourth room could join forces with King Jin to trick them
Can they recognize King Jin if they have such a big face
But they obviously wanted to drag Si Fang down, so she wouldn't say anything more, just don't bother with her dowry.
When Mrs. Zhu saw that Mr. Wen was silent, a flash of vicious hatred flashed in her eyes. She picked up the handkerchief and pretended to wipe away her tears: "Our family has spent all our money buying jade mines. Now we have no money at home, and we have caused this... Disaster!"
Mrs. Zhu looked at Wen Jiagui and Wen Jiaxiang: "This time your eldest brother has been framed, you brothers must unite as one! Help him collect these 35,000 taels to tide over this difficulty! I will pay you back the money in the future. As a family. We must work together as a rope and work together! You four brothers must unite as one! Only then will we have a way to survive!"
Zhu emphatically emphasized the four brothers.
Wen Jiagui and Wen Jiaxiang did not refuse. They were brothers who helped if they could, but they didn't have much money!
Zhu took most of his usual wages.
Their private house is far from thirty-five thousand taels!
Mr. Wen nodded, this is how a family should be.
Mrs. Zhu looked at Mr. Wen again, bursting into tears: "Old man, our family is going to be lost! Didn't the fourth child sell a piece of imperial green? It must be tens of thousands of taels! Go and ask him to borrow some! I will definitely return it to them in the future. If they want to write an IOU, you write an IOU for them. Dalang must get through this! Brother Liang and Sister Wan have a bright future!"
The old man went to borrow the IOU written by the old man. Will his son still dare to collect the debt from me? It’s totally outrageous! Aren't you afraid of being drowned in everyone's spit
Wen Jiafu hesitated and said, "The fourth family must have spent a lot of money building their house! I'm afraid they don't have the money to borrow."
"One hundred or dozens of taels is enough to build a house. It's good to borrow a few thousand taels! It's more than 30,000 taels. Even if our family sells everything, it won't be enough to pay back! This is forcing our family to die!"
What I said is true. Thirty-five thousand taels were sold out, so I couldn’t get everything together!
Even if you sell your entire family into slavery, you won’t be able to raise the money! This amount of money must have crushed their family!
Mr. Wen hesitated for a moment, then went to the end of the village to borrow money from Guizhi.
Not only do I have to borrow it from Guizhi, I also have to borrow it from my aunt, and I also have to borrow it from people in the village, but I don’t know if I can get enough.
But he couldn't watch his eldest son die!
Mr. Wen's back bent, as if he had aged ten years suddenly.
After Mr. Wen left, Mrs. Zhu said to little Mrs. Zhu: "Go find Yongfu's wife..."
Murao
Mrs. Wang directly took the broom and beat Mr. Wen out: "Go away, my family has no money to borrow! If good things don't happen, just think of me! If you want to borrow money, come to me! Go away, I don't owe you anything!"
"Hey, why are you beating someone again! If Dalang hadn't been in trouble and had no choice, I wouldn't have come to borrow it! We are all one family..." Mr. Wen jumped and ran out.
I don’t know when many villagers came outside the yard to watch the fun.
Everyone was talking and looking like they were watching a good show.
"I heard that the Wen family will pay tens of thousands of taels in compensation! Is Mr. Wen here to borrow money from his fourth son's house?"
"Do you think you can borrow this money?"
"It's hard to say, why don't you borrow it if you don't see Mrs. Wang?"
"Dad came to borrow it in person. Wen Jiarui picked up jade and made a fortune. He built a house and bought land. He didn't even borrow it. It's so inhumane!"
"Borrow it! If you don't borrow it, you won't be watching the boss and his family die! This is too cold-blooded!"
…
When Nuan Nuan came out and saw so many people, he sneered in his heart, could he attract so many people by borrowing money
Are you trying to use public pressure to force them to borrow money
If they didn't borrow it, wouldn't the villagers say that Wen Jiarui was unfilial, cold-blooded, selfish and had no regard for brotherhood... he could say any ugly thing, and his family would lose all reputation
This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the emphasis was on parents everywhere.
Wen Nuan grabbed the impulsive Mr. Wang and said loudly to Mr. Wen: "Grandpa, our family doesn't have that much money to borrow. All our money has been used to build a house.
Our family doesn't dare to use the money from selling the raw jadeite to avoid getting into trouble. We are preparing to send it back to the Yamen to King Jin. If you dare to ask for it, I can give it to you. "
Mr. Wen's hands and feet were sore from Wang's beating, but he felt happy after hearing this: "Sister Nuan is still sensible, and the family should help each other!"
Wen Nuan smiled: "But this money was given to you. I have to ask all the villagers to testify. One day, King Jin's people come to our door and ask for money. You have to testify for our family that all the money from selling jadeite was given to my grandfather." , help my uncle pay off his debt to King Jin! Otherwise, I’m worried that our family won’t have the money to pay back, and we’ll have to go to jail!”
"Okay! I'll bear witness!" the wealthy daughter-in-law said loudly.
"I will also testify!"
Wen Nuan looked at Mr. Wen with a smile: "Grandpa, do you still want the money? I'll get it for you now?"
Mr. Wen's expression froze. How about using King Jin's money to pay off his debt to King Jin
Thinking of Dalang coming out of prison, he felt like he was looking for death!
"Forget it, forget it, send the money to the Yamen as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble! We commoners like King Jin can't afford to offend him!" Mr. Wen said and left in despair.
Ask Guizhi for money to build a house? He doesn't have that face, after all, his house hasn't been sold yet!
The house they live in hasn’t even been built yet!
Wen Nuan looked at the lively villagers: "Uncles and aunts, you have been wandering around my house all day. Have you picked up ten taels of silver on the ground? We don't see ten taels of silver in our house. That is King Jin's silver. If you find it, take it out quickly. Oh! If you didn’t pick it up, help me look for it! Otherwise, I can only say that the remaining twelve taels are lost. I don’t know who picked it up. I wonder if King Jin’s people will search the whole village? "
Search the entire village? !
What a joke!
The village girls ran away after hearing this.
"I didn't pick it up, so don't rely on me! I came here just now. Not to mention the silver, I haven't seen any copper plates!"
"I didn't see it either! Don't blame me..."
…
Everyone ran away in an instant!
Especially those who have ten taels of silver at home can run very fast.
Wen Nuan sneered in his heart, thinking that he could just deliberately find a bunch of people to come over and watch!
Will they take advantage of themselves
Don't think of yourself too smart!
Nuan Nuan turned around and went home to close the courtyard door.
Mr. Wen returned home dejected.
He told Mrs. Zhu his warm words intact.
Madam Zhu was so angry that she tore the handkerchief in half, and couldn't help cursing in her heart: That little bitch can't die, but his brain is getting smarter!
I can think of all these excuses!
Why don’t you bitch die
Mrs. Zhu was lying on the bed, so angry that she cursed all eighteen generations of Wang's ancestors, and the entire Wen Nuan family before she stopped.
Mr. Wen sighed: "First ask Baozhen's family if they can borrow some. We can take out as much as we have, and then we can find ways to borrow some from everywhere! The family is expensive, and your mother-in-law's family is relatively well off. See if you can borrow more. Let me see how much I can get from selling the land..."
Mr. Wen glanced at Guo Qianni. He was too embarrassed to ask his newly married granddaughter-in-law to get some money. Everyone in the town knew that her dowry was rich.
Mr. Wen only said: "The family must unite as one to overcome this difficulty. How can the eggs be destroyed when the nest is overturned!"
Guo Qianni lowered her head and pretended not to hear when she drank water.
…
Just when the Wen family was at a loss for the thirty-five thousand taels and preparing to sell their houses, shops, and fields, someone from the capital sent an invitation from the Taile Department!
