After breakfast, I wanted to take Ai Qiaoqiao into the city to meet Master Dafu.

However, Ai Qiaoqiao still has a lot of things to arrange in the courtyard here.

The slurry is almost ready, Runxue and Ai Qiaoqiao have calculated, and it will take about two days to reach the amount Ai Qiaoqiao needs.

"You're still going to sell slurry this time?" Runxue asked, "Is there too much?" ”

"I don't just want to sell paste, I want to make something else." Ai Qiaoqiao didn't explain too much, and after telling Runxue, she went to the old Ai's compound again.

The yard, which is always noisy on weekdays, is exceptionally quiet.

Ai Qiaoqiao went directly into the upper room.

Old man Ai was lying on his body covered with a quilt, his face was gloomy.

"Master, do you feel better?" Ai Qiaoqiao sat on the edge of the kang and tucked the quilt corner for Ai Mingshan.

"It's a coincidence." Ai Mingshan slowly opened his eyes, "It's cold on the ground, hurry up and sit on the kang." ”

"No need, I'm going to go into the city in a while, I want to come and ask the master, do you want me to find Ruo Gongzi to make peace and redeem my sister-in-law's deed of sale." Ai Qiaoqiao said, "It's not good for me to make decisions on my own, so I'm here to ask my grandfather and my grandmother." ”

Ai Mingshan sat up with difficulty, "If you want to redeem, you must redeem." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao glanced at Ma Shi who was sitting on the kang, "What does my milk mean?" ”

Ma Shi lifted his eyelids, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.

Ai Mingshan sighed: "Redemption is redemption, but this matter has to wait for a while." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes widened, "When will it be, in two days, Gongzi Yuwen will come to pick up my sister-in-law back, and it will be even more difficult to redeem it then." ”

Ai Mingshan pursed his lips, "When you get together five hundred taels of silver......

"My second uncle spent all the five hundred taels of silver?" Ai Qiaoqiao pretended to be surprised.

"Where is there any money, your second uncle has been deceived, those who are killed by heaven and have suffered a thousand knives are not afraid of dying and going to the eighteenth layer of hell!" Ma opened his mouth and scolded.

Ai Qiaoqiao secretly felt funny.

Eighteen Layers of Hell? Her grandmother really believes this, I'm afraid she doesn't even believe it.

On her face, she frowned, looking puzzled, "How come, the deed of sale obviously has the names of the guarantor and the person with the pen, Yuwen Gongzi will not even collude with those two people, and work together to deceive my second uncle." ”

Ai Mingshan was stunned, and suddenly raised his head and shouted Ai Daquan's name loudly.

After a while, Ai Daquan entered the door, and Ai Yonggui came with him.

Seeing Ai Yonggui, Ai Qiaoqiao was secretly surprised.

She originally wanted to hint that as long as Ai Mingshan found the mediator and the person with the pen, she would be able to inquire whether Ai Yonggui had received the money that day, but Ai Yonggui was even more ghostly, and then came in.

It seems that what she can think of, Ai Yonggui has also thought of.

He stared at Ai Qiaoqiao fiercely, quickly looked away, and stood there in a proper manner, "Dad, what's the matter with you looking for Daquan, but where is it uncomfortable?" ”

Ai Mingshan ignored Ai Yonggui, but said to Ai Daquan, "Daquan, you go to the city and look for your sister-in-law to sell her body to the guarantor and the person with the pen......"

Ai Yonggui stood there, listening to Old Man Ai's instructions, his face became darker and darker.

"Dad, you don't believe me!"

Ai Mingshan snorted coldly and did not answer.

What Ai Yonggui did this time was too amazing, even if he went to visit the Red Mansion and drank flower wine, it was not as outrageous as this time.

In addition to valuing the future of his family, Ai Mingshan also attaches great importance to his reputation.

If the people in the village knew that the girl they married out had actually signed a deed of sale, I am afraid that the reputation of selling women for glory will never be washed away.

In the future, the girls of which family will marry into their family.

Not to mention that Ai Daquan has not yet married a daughter-in-law, even Ai Qiaoqiao and Ai Xiaoling will find it difficult to find a good family in the future.

Ai Daquan peeked at Ma's family, and Ai Mingshan reprimanded: "Still standing stupidly and doing something, don't go quickly!" ”

Ai Daquan had no choice but to go out.

Ai Yonggui hung his head, like a defeated rooster.

"Dad, mother, my son really didn't take Yuwen Gongzi's money, you have to believe me, Qiaohua is my sister, how can I harm her......"

Ai Mingshan was unmoved, and Ma Shi seemed a little confident, "Old man, you said that if Yonggui really didn't take the money...... What are we going to do? ”

Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and even if they sold all their land and houses, they would not be able to make up this amount.

Ai Mingshan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "What else can I do, borrow." ”

"That's five hundred taels, where can I borrow it?" Ma was worried.

The people in the village were living very tightly, and it was impossible to borrow the amount of five hundred taels, and if they opened their mouths to borrow money, I believe that soon they would find out about the deed of sale of Qiaohua.

"Then sell the land, and the house." Ai Mingshan said in a deep voice, "See how much money you can scrape, and if it's not enough, you can borrow usury." ”

Ma Shi jumped up as if he was burned, "Old man, you are crazy, you sold the land and the house, where do we live, how can we live in the winter, let our mothers drink the wind outside!" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao looked at Ai Mingshan in surprise.

Although the old man had a calm face, he looked unusually calm.

It can be seen that what he said just now was not said by him in anger.

Ai Yonggui was also anxious, "Dad, the house and land have been sold, where do you live with my mother, how can you live." ”

Ai Mingshan said quietly, "I've thought about it, fortunately, Ai Qiaoqiao and her mother and Tiancheng are separated, they can live without us, I and your mother are old, and we can't farm at all, Daquan happens to have done chores in the restaurant, you can help in the future, find another errand for him, the house and land are gone, we will go to the city to live." ”

Ai Yonggui's eyes widened in shock, "Go to the city?" ”

"yes, isn't there a house in the city?" Ai Mingshan said, "I'll go to live in the city with your mother, as well as the Fang family and Xiaoling, didn't Gongzi Yuwen promise to find you a new errand, and it won't be a problem to support us with your skills." ”

Ai Yonggui's mouth opened and closed, and he couldn't speak.

Ai Qiaoqiao sneered in her heart.

Ai Yonggui probably has always regarded the house in the city as his own.

But he forgot that the house was actually bought with the family's money, and Mr. Ai has subsidized him for him over the years.

He thought that after he had a new errand, he would be able to hide comfortably in the city, leave his father and mother in the country, and live a happy life behind closed doors.

How did he forget that the house belonged to everyone!

"This, how can this be done, if the Fang clan and Xiaoling also want to go over, there are so many of us ......" Ai Yonggui said incoherently, "This is too much." ”

Ai Mingshan glared, "They are your wives and daughters, but no matter how many people there are, you dare to throw them out?" ”

"Dad, that's not what I meant." Ai Yonggui hurriedly explained, "I mean, I can't earn much money every month as an errand boy in the city, I'm afraid that you will go and suffer with me." ”

"With the ability of the second uncle, how can I make my grandfather and my grandmother suffer." Ai Qiaoqiao suddenly interjected, "I heard the shopkeeper Luo who was full of guests said that their chef has the worst salary of three taels of silver per month, my grandfather and my grandmother are old, and they can't eat much, and they don't pick what they wear, my second aunt is a thrifty person, I never see her wear a new dress, Xiaoling's sister eats less, and the thin one can kneel when the gust of wind blows, and he can't even eat twenty copper coins a month, the second uncle thinks too much, and the money is enough." ”

Ai Yonggui's eyes were split.

"Why don't you raise your grandfather and your grandmother when you're so filial?"

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "I want to raise it, but I'm afraid that the second uncle will be angry and think I'm ignorant, if I take my grandfather and my grandmother, the people in the village are afraid that they will say that the second uncle you refuse to support your parents, and even your own sister will be sold, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to find an errand in the future, won't this hurt you?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, Ai Yonggui clenched his fists tightly, and his face was about to drip water.
