058 Xiao Erlang's accident (II)
So far, it can only be like this, and Liu's silence can be regarded as acquiescing to Xiao Shilang's statement
Xiao Shilang saw that Liu was no longer crying, and turned to look at Ge Yuer
"Yu'er, how much silver do you have on you? I'm in a hurry to go out today, and I only have about ten taels."
Xiao Shilang took out two silver ingots of five taels from his sleeve. Ge Yu'er asked the maid beside her, and then the maid also took out two silver ingots of ten taels and came out. Ge Yuer took it and put it in Xiao Shilang's hands
"Xianggong, this apricot only has these on her."
Ge Yuer gave Xiao Shilang the money, but didn't ask if it was enough. Stand aside and watch
Xiao Shilang took the silver money handed by Xing'er, took it with his own, and gave it to Liu's together.
"Mother, that's all we have on us now, otherwise, let's find a sister-in-law to make up. Didn't you say that my sister-in-law's family had made a lot of money recently?"
Xiao Shilang said and turned his head to look at Xia Cicada not far away. Xia Chan didn't answer, and still stood silently on the side, as if he was an outsider
Seeing this, Liu pursed the corners of his lips in displeasure, "Hmph, I can't count on such a poisonous woman, maybe people wish your sister was sold."
"Look at what my mother said, how can my sister-in-law be this kind of person. I think my sister-in-law must be worrying about saving my little sister now. Sister-in-law, do you say yes?"
Xia Chan glanced at Xiao Shilang, who looked bookish and angry, but his eyes were full of calculations. sneered in his heart, but pretended to be stupid on his face
The fourth brother laughed, the sister-in-law was really anxious, and she also wanted to save the little sister quickly, but the sister-in-law had more than enough heart and not enough strength. Our family is not like the fourth brother-in-law's house, there are only five or six shops in the town alone, our business is just a small fight, how can we make so much money, besides, we have to treat the doctor and take medicine for the eldest man. Nowadays, our family is also frugal and living. However, since the fourth brother is out of thirty taels, the sister-in-law can't say nothing at all. This is five taels of silver, don't dislike less."
After Xia Chan finished speaking, he took out five strings of copper plates from his purse and handed them to Liu, but Liu disliked Xia Chan's stinginess and thought that she was slapping her face, and raised her hand to hit Xia Chan's outstretched hand
With a snap, five strings of copper plates were hung on the ground, the rope was broken, and a copper plate fell to the ground. Seeing this, Xia Chan was only slightly stunned, and turned his head back to the seat just now
Xiao Shilang blamed Xia Chan's woman in his heart, remembered the little abacus in his heart, and persuaded Liu with a smile
"Mother, you see that the sister-in-law is also a good intention, how can you misinterpret the sister-in-law's kindness so much" Seeing that Liu was puzzled, he continued, "The sister-in-law means that there is so much on her, but she didn't say that she wouldn't go back and get it, right?" Mother, just put your heart in your stomach, sister-in-law is not that kind of person."
The corners of Xia Chan's mouth twitched, how could this Xiao family be cheeky. She said everything so clearly, but he insisted on misinterpreting her words and hitting her attention.
Xia Chan looked at Xiao Shilang coldly, trying to calculate her - she couldn't do it
"Oh, tell me, sister-in-law, what kind of person am I? Sister-in-law, I'm really curious, I don't know when I have such a bodhisattva heart, and everyone is willing to give alms."
When Xia Chan said the word charity, he deliberately glanced at Xiao Erlang. He really lived up to expectations and immediately fought back
"Xia Erya, don't go too far, I sue you and I Xiao Erlang is not easy to mess with, be careful......"
"Be careful of you what? Could it be that the second brother still wants to go to the ancestral hall to kneel for another night before he wakes up. Xiao Erlang's words were heard by Xiao Dalang, who had just entered the door, and he was originally a little worried about the Xiao family's old house, and his face instantly changed to coldness. The whole person stared at Xiao Erlang coldly
Xiao Erlang was stared at by him, and ran quickly behind Liu to hide. Seeing this, Xia Chan sneered, "If you want to save your little sister, just sit down and discuss how to raise money, if you don't want to, we don't have the leisure to quarrel with you here." But I warn you, don't hit what you shouldn't do, that's not what you can do."
The coldness in Xia Chan's eyes frightened off the Liu family who wanted to open his mouth to scold. Seeing this, the old man Xiao on the side knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was determined to help this time. glanced at his old daughter. I turned around and went back to the house to look for the title deed
Xiao Erlang in the courtyard was yelled at by Xiao Dalang just now, and now he is no longer convinced, and he doesn't dare to do anything with Xia Chan. Xiao Shilang on the side wanted to say something, but was picked up by Ge Yuer on the side. The originally noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet. Suddenly, there was the voice of Old Man Xiao in the house
"Old woman, where are the deeds of our house, you come and find them. and the money in the family was also taken out to make up. See how many there are."
"What? Are you going to sell your house or land? ”
Liu's pig-like roar shook people's eardrums, and a trace of unbearability flashed in Xiao Dalang's eyes, although it was extremely fast, he was seen by Xia Chan, who just turned his head. However, she pretended not to see it, and turned her head to look at Liu again
Over the years, the Xiao family has earned some money from hunting, as well as the money from selling grain in the field. But because of Xiao Shilang's study, the flowers were almost gone. Now the family's cash is only about 30 taels. Twenty acres of good land, one acre of eight taels, one hundred and sixteen. plus Xiao Shilang's thirty taels, and Xia Chan's five taels. It was two hundred and twenty-five in total. There are still seventy-five taels short of three hundred taels.
Hearing the numbers, everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts. The people who went to Caohe Village came back, but Xiao Dayun didn't follow, saying that he was busy at home and couldn't get out. Apparent reluctance to help.
Liu wanted to open his mouth to scold for a few words, but was glared at by Old Man Xiao and endured it.
"It's all the money in the house. Now there is still a difference of seventy-five taels. You guys can figure out how to make it together. This house can't be sold, otherwise our family won't even have a place to live. ”
Old Man Xiao seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden, and his face was full of vicissitudes. The room was silent. Xiao Dalang glanced at Xia Chan, Xia Chan originally didn't plan to pay attention to him, but he kept staring at her persistently, and her Xia Chan was angry in her heart.
However, she can also pay for this money. Turning his head and looking at the family of the party, he looked like he was fine. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I think of every big set of Huang family to sell embroidery. There was a hint of cunning in his eyes
"We are all in such a hurry to get together, have we forgotten the second brother's house? Usually, you can see the second brother and sister coming out of Yipin Pavilion in the big market in the town, so I guess I have saved a lot of money for so long."
As soon as Xia Chan's voice fell, a room full of people looked at the Huang family. Liu was the first to speak
"Okay, you black-hearted. It's all your father's fault, but you don't have a penny to watch her being beaten, what kind of heart do you have. ......" Liu punched and kicked Huang, and said all the dirty words and cruel words.
Xia Chan knew that this time it really poked Liu's heart. With such a large amount of money, I am afraid that there will be no return. Under the double pressure of Liu and Xiao Erlang, the Huang family took out thirty taels of silver.
When Huang took out the money, Liu made a fuss for a while before stopping. Seventy-five taels minus thirty taels, a difference of forty-five taels.
When the Liu family put the thirty taels collected from the Huang family on the table, everyone's eyes looked at Xia Chan and his wife. Xia Chan just wanted to respond, but when she saw the silver ticket half-exposed between the sleeves of Ge Yuer's maid, she first lowered it, then smiled, got up and walked towards Ge Yuer, and when she got to Xing'er's side, she gently touched it, and a silver ticket fell to the ground
