Chapter 5 Carrying a kitchen knife to save people
"The money is ready, and my brother is on his way back." Lin Jiayao's confidence when she spoke was still slightly insufficient.
Got it all together? How is this possible? Steward Li's eyes widened, obviously not believing her words, and asked suspiciously, "You said that your brother went to get the silver?" ”
"Yes!" Lin Jiayao said with a firm expression: "He will come back at noon." ”
Steward Li burst out laughing, covered his stomach with one hand, turned his head to the person behind him and said, "Did you hear it, she actually believed that guy Lin Xishui." ”
When several people behind him heard this, they all began to laugh, and one of them who had contact with Lin Xishui laughed and said, "You are really pitiful as a sister, what kind of character is your brother, don't you know in your heart?" ”
Lin Jiayao's face changed suddenly, she clenched her fists, pointed at the man angrily and said, "I don't allow you to speak ill of my brother." ”
Steward Li grabbed her fist and said viciously: "Your brother is a little gangster who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do anything, is idle all day long, likes to take advantage of it, and talks big, this is not a bad thing, it is a fact, is it not right what I said?" ”
"You..." Lin Jiayao struggled to break free of Steward Li's hand, and at the same time took a few steps back, glaring at him sternly with his eyes, as if he was about to shoot sparks, "My brother is no longer the same as before!" ”
"Not the same as before?" Steward Li is like hearing a big joke, "Do you understand what it means that a dog can't change eating?" As far as your brother is like a bear, he must have known that we came to ask for an account today, and left you alone and ran away, and you still believe him? What a stupid woman. ”
The guys behind her sneered, looking at her like a fool.
But Lin Jiayao was not affected by their words in the slightest, her expression shot a resolute look, and at the same time took out three taels of silver, "This silver is what my brother earned, give it to you now, and when he comes back at noon, he will return the remaining seven taels of silver to you." ”
Seeing the three taels of silver in Lin Jiayao's hand, a trace of surprise flashed in Steward Li's eyes, he took the silver over, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you get this silver?" ”
"As I already said, my brother earned it!"
"Lin Xishui's waste can still make money?" Steward Li put the silver in his arms and asked mockingly, "Your brother won't snatch this silver from Huazi..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Jiayao: "I repeat it here, don't say bad things about my brother!" ”
Steward Li saw that there was an uncontrollable anger in her eyes, as if she was tearing apart if she said more.
At the same time, she exuded a compelling aura, where is this aura that a commoner girl can have, at this moment, in the eyes of Steward Li, the other party is like the eldest lady of the family of a dignitary, sacrosanct.
Steward Li subconsciously took a step back, and his voice instantly dropped several levels, "For the sake of three taels of silver, what if we wait for you until noon?" Let's see if your brother is as you say, and will send the money. ”
Seeing that the other party had given in, Lin Jiayao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "My brother will definitely come back." ”
Steward Li sneered: "I'll say the ugly things first, if you still haven't returned the silver at noon, then take the title deed and go to the palace with me!" ”
"Okay, I promise you!"

Inside Luoyang City
Lin Xishui really regretted that he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today.
Because not only did he not wait for the prince yesterday, but he waited for Su Ze, who chased him for dozens of miles yesterday.
At this time, the two were sitting at a table in the restaurant, Lin Xishui was waiting for someone else to send money, while Su Ze was educating himself.
"Brother Tai, I'm really sad, poetry is such a great art, how can you exchange it for money?"
Lin Xishui looked helpless, looking at him with a hint of disdain, could it be that this guy is idle all day long and has nothing to do?
"Why don't you speak, if these poems are really made by you, with Brother Tai's talent, you can completely serve the imperial court."
Lin Xishui's eyes were full of disdain.
Su Ze was really patient, so he persuaded him for nearly a morning, the two of them didn't eat any food, and the water in the teapot was changed several times.
Until noon, the prince had not sent anyone.
Lin Xishui was a little impetuous, and he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise Lin Jiayao would be in danger as soon as the debt came.
He must hurry up and get the money, he regrets it now, why didn't he spend his morning time selling poems, it's too late to sell poems now.
Lin Xishui looked at Su Ze, who was still persuading him, "Brother Su, do you really want to help me?" ”
Su Ze saw that he finally spoke, thinking that his persuasion had an effect, and said happily: "If these poems are really made by you, I can help you." ”
For a few poems to help a stranger, is it better to say that he is a poet idiot or an idiot?
"I made those poems, you can buy three, count it cheaper for you, only seven taels of silver."
Su Ze saw that he still had to sell poems for money, and he persuaded himself in vain all morning?
There was an unquenchable anger and frustration in his eyes, "Didn't you even listen to what I said?" You like silver so much? ”
Seeing his indignant appearance, Lin Xishui's small hope was also shattered, "Then can you lend me seven taels of silver?" ”
"Why do you need the silver so much?"
"If I say that the creditor is coming to the door and will sell the house if he can't pay back the money, do you believe it?"
Su Ze shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, unless you take me there." ”
"What if I took you there, what if I said it would?"
"Then I'll lend you the money."
Damn, this guy doesn't play cards according to the routine, I knew this, why did I ink with him for so long.
Lin Xishui immediately stood up and grabbed his arm, "Go!" ”
・・・・
In Xizhou Village, Lin Xishui looked at the empty yard, and the whole person was stupid, where did Lin Jiayao go?
Su Ze followed behind him, looked at the house, and sighed, "How can living in this kind of house be poor?" Look at you as a liar! ”
"Brother Lin." An old voice suddenly came from behind.
Lin Xishui turned his head and saw that it was Aunt Li next door, and immediately asked anxiously: "Aunt Li, do you know where my sister went?" ”
"Sister Lin told me this morning that if she is not there when you come back, she will be captured by the Wang family."
"What?" Although Lin Xishui had already guessed this result, he was still shocked, and immediately went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, hid it in his clothes, and rushed towards the Wang family.
Su Ze saw this guy hiding a kitchen knife and running out, did he want to find someone desperately?
"Hey, what are you going to do?"
Seeing that the other party was running out on his own, ignoring himself at all, Su Ze was also anxious, and hurriedly chased out, "Brother Lin, don't be impulsive, you're going to die, what about those handed down poems?" ”
