Chapter Forty-Three: The Bearded Girl Is Just for Her Fame
"What, you're going to sell the silver bottle?"
Hearing Zhu Aming's words, Shen Yun couldn't help but gasp. The somewhat dry air hit the back, and it cooled Shen Yun from the throat down, one by one, into a fresh viscera hidden in the three-foot ice.
Shen Yun never expected that Zhu Aming would come up with such a method.
originally thought that Zhu Aming would say something regretful next, after all, both men and women were all flesh that fell from Shen Gui's body. However, he was disappointed.
"I thought that when Jin Hui'er was older, he would marry Yin Hui'er to earn some bride price. I don't know that my family already owes so much money. If we don't sell her early, our family is afraid that we won't even be able to get through the spring planting. ”
"I don't want the money for the time being, the silver bottle is still young after all, so you want her to go to someone else's house to suffer?"
is only a thirteen-year-old girl, either to be a child bride-in-law or to be a maid. Whatever it is, it's an errand for servants.
How do you know that Zhu Aming retorted: "You don't want it, there are other people's, I even took out the family funds, and I see that I am about to plant in the spring, is it that the family will be abandoned this year?" ”
Shen Yun couldn't say anything.
"Are you serious, you have such an idea?" Shen Yun didn't want to say anything, there are thousands of ways to make money in this world, not to mention that he had seen it just now, the money hidden in the hands of the old woman of the Zhu family was more than three or five times.
If Zhu Aming's face is more open, it can be regarded as asking his wife to write a note and borrow some money, which is better than selling the silver bottle.
But think about it, with the character of the old woman of the Zhu family, she may not be able to borrow it, and Zhu Aming, who has a face-saving character, does not want to make a fuss about his own ugly affairs.
In the face of Shen Yun's inquiry, Zhu Aming did not say anything. It's just that the answer is already very clear, Shen Yun sighed helplessly, glanced at Zhu Aming, and left the door of the medical hall directly.
For the niece of Yinhua'er, Shen Yun likes it very much. is Shen's mother, who also loves to pull the little girl by her side to talk and work. No matter what the Zhu family thinks of the little girl, but the Shen Yun family definitely treats the little girl as a baby.
However, now Zhu Aming is actually going to sell the little girl.
Shen Yun felt uncomfortable in his heart and didn't say anything, if it reached Shen's mother's ears, wouldn't he make the old man angry to death.
If you sell it, you won't be free, and from now on, your life will be cheaper than others.
Shen Yun, who left Zhu Aming, had already secretly made up his mind in his heart.
If it really didn't work, he didn't hesitate to lose face, borrowed some money from Fan's house, and bought the little girl directly. As for what his Zhu Aming's face should be, it is not within his consideration.
Shen Yun thought to himself and slowly walked towards the city.
I haven't been around Chengji County for two years, so I don't know many places very well. It's a pity that he was preparing to come to visit Fan's Mansion after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he didn't bring the prepared gifts with him, so Shen Xi had to dispel the idea of going to Fan's Mansion today.
When he was about to approach the palace, he suddenly saw a large number of people crowded in front of the sign.
Although Shen Yun doesn't particularly like to be lively. However, when words like "Wenhui" and "reward" faintly came from the crowd, Shen Yun couldn't help but lean in.
After reading the notice inside, Shen Yun couldn't help but be happy.
But this year, Zhang Shi'an thought of the grand occasion of Liu Qingming's Yuan Wenhui that day, and his heart was itching, so he copied one and prepared to have fun with Qinzhou scholars.
But what caught Shen Yun's attention the most was the fourfold increase in rewards.
If he can get one of them, then the money owed by Zhu Aming's family can be repaid, and the silver bottle will be saved from being sold.
After watching the time, Shen Yun turned around and left Chengji County.
When he returned home, he didn't mention Zhu Aming's intention to sell the silver bottle, Shen's mother asked about Old Man Zhu's condition, and Shen Yun just told the truth.
In the end, Shen's mother still knew that Shen Yun had something in her heart, but she didn't want to ask too much. It's just that overnight, Pingbai sighed a little more.
Ningxi Fort, Zhu Amin's home.
When this slightly depressed man walked into the house very tiredly, he looked at Shen Gui, who was about to ask, and sighed lowly.
In fact, Zhu Aming was reluctant in his heart.
However, no matter how reluctant it is, it will not be enough to resist the neighbors who will come to ask for accounts in the future. It's not worth a family of four from the beginning of spring to the autumn harvest, and there is no last meal.
"I'm going to ......"
wanted to stop talking, Zhu Aming still couldn't say those words to Shen Gui in the end.
"What are you going to do?" Zhu Aming didn't say it, it didn't mean that Shen Gui didn't ask. There must be something unusual about this.
"I'm going to, well, this, you see, Daddy spent so much money on treatment, and the family not only took out all their savings, but also borrowed a lot of money. No, Shen Gui, you know, borrowed this money, and everyone was in a hurry to use it. ”
Dodging and dodging, Zhu Amin tried his best to find a suitable reason.
However, when the words came to an end, I suddenly found that all the reasons were actually pale excuses.
However, my heart finally hardened: "I think, why don't I ...... Well, give the silver bottle and sell it. ”
The word "sold" is ambiguous.
It's just that Shen Gui finally heard Zhu Aming's meaning clearly. There are some words, when you hear the first half, in fact, there is no need to say them completely.
"Zhu Aming, are you crazy?" Shen Gui looked at Zhu Aming in disbelief. She couldn't have imagined that her husband, the last way he thought of, would be like this.
Without waiting for Zhu Aming to say anything, Shen Gui cried with tears in his eyes: "No matter what you say, the silver bottle is also the daughter born to you and me, it is not the livestock of the family, so you have to sell a stubble and a stubble." ”
"You said that your father used money to treat his illness, why do we want to make a big head, why do we use a girl to pay off debts, why does he let go of so much, and wants to ruin our family?"
"The surname is Zhu, you have to be a filial son, I won't stop you. I'd rather leave this house with a bad name on my back than sell me in the future for the sake of filial piety. ”
Shen Gui cried and was about to leave to pack his things, but Zhu Aming was unmoved. In his heart, what has already been decided cannot be changed.
It's a cold day.
Shen Gui stumbled to Niu'an Fort.
It's hard to imagine how a person can get through these ten miles. When Shen Gui came to Niu'anbao, he was already shivering from the cold, but his tears never stopped.
The first thing he did when he entered the door and saw Shen's mother was to throw herself into Shen's mother's arms and cry loudly. Yin Bottler and Jin Hui'er didn't know why, so they could only cry on the side.
After Shen's mother comforted Shen Gui and slowly calmed down, finally, Shen's mother knew why Shen Yun's face was wrong before.
Silver Bottle's face had become extremely frightened. At this moment, he was pitifully shedding tears, holding Shen Gui's arm.
She already knows her next fate, what she will do when she is sold, she doesn't know, but she knows that once she is sold, she will never be as happy and free as she is now.
The children in the village are disobedient, and the adults are not all threatening to sell them to people.
"Yun'er, come here."
Shen Mu's voice trembled a little.
She knew very well that Shen Yun knew about it. What made her angry was why Shen Yun didn't say anything when she came back, whether she wanted to hide it from herself until the end.
Shen Yun silently walked into the house.
"Do you know that Zhu Amin is going to sell the bottle?" Shen Mu's voice was a little stern, with a questioning meaning.
"I know, Zhu Amin told me in the city."
"Then you ......" Shen Mu's voice trembled, and her body couldn't help but tremble. In Shen's mother's heart, she only thought that Shen Yun was a partner with Zhu Aming, and she wanted to deceive herself to the end.
"A-Niang, you should leave this matter alone for the time being. As long as he can transfer a sum of money in the short term and fill in the hole in his house, there will be nothing to do when he thinks about it. ”
Shen Yun naturally had a plan in his heart.
But how could Shen's mother know what he was thinking: "What you said is easy, but Zhu Aming is about to sell the silver bottle, and our family's request is best for you, and what you take out in the morning is the last savings of the family." ”
Ren Shen's mother said this, but the eyes of Shen Gui and the silver bottle were focused on Shen Yun. The gaze full of anticipation made Shen Yun suddenly feel how heavy the expectations were on his shoulders.
"Although A-Niang can rest assured, in the end, even if I pull down my face and go to Fan's Mansion to borrow money, I will definitely earn this money back. The silver bottle is my niece, and I can't allow her to be a slave to others. ”
After receiving Shen Yun's assurance, Shen's mother was silent.
She actually knew very well in her heart that the benefits that Fan Fu had given her family had already been promised too much. When the favor is finally exhausted, not to mention that Fan Fu simply appreciates Shen Yun, Shen Yun is not good to others, to put it bluntly.
Once it reaches that level, it is very likely that Shen Yun will be disgusted by others.
"Ugh."
Sighing, Shen Mu seemed to have lost all the strength in her body, and waved her hand at Shen Yun: "Since you have an idea, go for it." Now, the family can only rely on you. ”
Shen Yun nodded, and was about to turn around and walk towards his house, when suddenly Yinhua'er cried: "Uncle, don't embarrass you." If you can't go, don't force yourself to borrow money. ”
"My father borrowed money, and he wanted to use me to pay the debt. If you ask someone if they borrow money, how do you pay it back? ”
Shen Yun's nose was sour when he heard this, but he still held back the tears that were about to flow, turned his head and smiled at the silver bottle: "Rest assured, girl." You think, my uncle was able to earn two taels of silver on the streets of Chengji County, and if you want to give me a few days, there will definitely be similar good things. ”
"Don't worry, Uncle won't let your father sell you."
Nodding at the silver bottle, Shen Yun turned around and walked towards his room. But the tears couldn't help but flow down.
