Chapter Twenty-Four: How Poor

Qin Zijin fell asleep groggily on the ox cart, and when he woke up, it was almost dark.

was woken up by his cousin Qin Huaidong, and looking at the city gate not far away, Qin Zijin had some impressions in his memory.

The two got off the ox cart at the city gate, Qin Huaidong rushed to give the car money for eight copper plates, and the two of them walked to the city.

Qin Zijin observed the surrounding situation as he walked, and the three big characters of Qingyun County were neatly written on the city gate, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.

People came and went, carrying burdens or burdens, from the gates of the city.

Qin Zijin followed behind his cousin and walked towards the city with the flow of people, but it seemed that many people always looked at her for something?

Qin Zijin, who had long been accustomed to the spotlight, didn't pay much attention to it, but Qin Huaidong seemed to notice the situation, stopped and turned his head to look at Qin Zijin.

Seeing that she had already taken off her straw hat and looked around with a pair of smart eyes, she frowned, stretched out the straw hat in Qin Zijin's hand, buckled it on Qin Zijin's head, and reprimanded in a low voice, "What are you looking at, hurry up." ”

Qin Zijin asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Do these people know me? Why do you keep staring at me? ”

She didn't expect to get an unexpected answer, so she heard her cousin Qin Huaidong answer helplessly, "Because you are good-looking." ”

Qin Zijin was stunned when he heard this, and then a rare trace of embarrassment appeared, and he reached out and touched his face.

She ignored it, and only this face of the original body was still to her liking, except that she was immature and thin, and there was not much difference from her original self.

The gap between the county town and the town is quite large, with pedestrians coming and going on the street, and enthusiastic shouts from the surrounding shops or street vendors from time to time.

All kinds of commodities are also dazzling, and Qin Zijin is dizzying, although he has also arranged such a situation during filming, but it is not as vivid as what he sees in front of him now.

When he saw the steaming wonton stall, Qin Zijin touched his stomach and couldn't walk.

Qin Huaidong followed Qin Zijin's gaze and said, "If you're hungry, go over and eat something first." ”

Qin Zijin touched the string of copper plates in his arms that had not moved, and nodded.

The proprietress warmly beckoned the two of them to sit down on the small wooden pier, and Qin Zijin asked first, "Boss, how much is a bowl?" ”

The proprietress replied with a smile, "It's cheap, eight copper plates." ”

Qin Zijin thought about the twenty copper plates he was carrying in his arms, and his flesh hurt a little.

Qin Huaidong took out his purse first, counted sixteen copper plates and gave them to the boss.

Qin Zijin looked at Qin Huaidong hesitantly and stopped talking, then he heard Qin Huaidong say with a smile, "Okay, come out with the eldest brother, can you still give money?" ”

Thinking of his empty purse, Qin Zijin had no choice but to lower his head, thank him softly, and write down this love in his heart.

A bowl of wontons is the most delicious meal Qin Zijin has eaten since he came here.

Even after eating, she had some tears in her eyes and a little embarrassed, and she would actually have the urge to shed tears one day because of eating a meal of wontons.

Qin Huaidong inadvertently raised his head, and when he saw Qin Zijin's appearance, he sighed and reached out to rub Qin Zijin's head.

Qin Zijin hurriedly sniffed, put away his out-of-control emotions, and carefully tasted the delicious wontons.

After all, after eating this meal, I don't know when I will be able to eat it again, because as long as I continue to stay in the Bai family, I can only drink gruel and eat steamed buns.

A bowl of wontons made Qin Zijin's desire to get rid of the Bai family even stronger, and she had to find a way as soon as possible.

After eating and drinking, Qin Huaidong opened his mouth and said, "Are you going to the fifth aunt and grandmother now?" I'll send you there. ”

Qin Zijin hurriedly shook his head, "No, I'll go around the county first." ”

Qin Huaidong looked embarrassed, "I still have something to do, why don't I send you over first, and you let the fifth aunt and grandmother accompany you out for a walk?" ”

Qin Zijin hurriedly shook his hand and responded, "No, no, big brother, you go and get busy, I'll go around by myself, and then go directly to the fifth aunt and grandmother." ”

Qin Huaidong refused without hesitation, "No, it's too unsafe for you to hang around outside by yourself, or I'll accompany you first......"

Qin Zijin hurriedly interrupted, "Okay then, you send me over first." ”

Let the eldest brother accompany her, how can she go to the pawnshop?

On the way, Qin Huaidong instructed, "Tomorrow after noon, I will wait for you outside, don't forget." ”

Qin Zijin looked at Qin Huaidong suspiciously, "Doesn't the eldest brother go to the fifth aunt's house?" ”

Qin Huaidong shook his head, "I still have something to do, so I won't go, you can ask the fifth aunt and grandmother for me." ”

Thinking of the situation of the fifth aunt and grandmother and the eldest grandfather's family, Qin Zijin nodded.

She probably knew that it should be the grievances of her grandfather and their generation, and the fifth aunt and grandmother were separated from the other rooms except for taking care of their room and walking a little closer, so they didn't interact much.

The elders were silent about the grievances back then, and the juniors didn't dare to inquire indiscriminately, so they could only obey the orders of the elders.

When he arrived at the door of Yang's house, the porter recognized Qin Zijin and greeted him carefully, "Miss Qin came to see our old lady?" Hurry inside please. ”

Qin Zijin nodded with a smile and responded, "Wait first." ”

The concierge was slightly stunned, Miss Qin would be so polite to them today, and she would smile at them?

She stood at the door, staring at her eldest brother Qin Huaidong and walking away, then said to the porter, "Ah, I forgot to buy a gift for my fifth aunt and grandmother, I'll come back later." ”

After saying that, he waved to the porter and trotted away.

The porter stood at the door, looked at Qin Zijin's back trotting away, rubbed his eyes, and said to his companion on the side, "I'm not mistaken, right?" That's Miss Qin? ”

The companion replied, "That's right, do you want to report the old lady?" ”

The porter hesitated and shook his head, "It's better not to do it too much, lest Miss Qin blame her, and we should be punished again." ”

Qin Zijin originally only planned to be a bracelet to solve his urgent needs, but when he went, he realized that one tael of gold was worth ten taels of silver, and one gold bracelet was less than one tael, so it was eight taels of silver, which was not enough at all.

In the end, I could only use necklaces and earrings, barely twenty-five taels.

Qin Zijin was thinking in his heart as he walked, and asked Meng Langzhong at that time, Bai Lu's monthly medicine money was about ten taels of silver.

One tael of silver is 1,200 copper plates, according to the price of eight copper plates for a bowl of wontons, one tael of silver is almost 1,000 yuan, and ten taels of silver a month is 10,000 yuan, which is really expensive.

In addition to the money for medicine, there are still fifteen taels of silver left.

She doesn't want to get by in the Bai family like this all the time, and she doesn't want to drink gruel and eat steamed buns every day like the Bai family, but if she wants to change the current quality of life, for her who has nothing now, fifteen taels of silver is not enough at all.

There is also Bai Lu's medicine money, if she still wants to continue to be Bai Yunge's wife, she has to take Bai Lu's family and continue to treat her, and she will have to spend an extra ten taels of silver every month.

is really poor, she has to quickly find a way to get rid of the Bai family, and then find any way to make money.
