Chapter 3: The old man is bad
"Are you a victim? Who can prove it? Zhou Zimu looked around, and there was silence all around. There was no one to help Gao Xiong speak.
"Sister Jinse's uncle owes me 500 taels of silver, and she can't pay for it, so she will go with me. She didn't want to beat me up, and everyone here can prove it. Do I still have a wound on my neck? Gao Xiong's hands were cuffed, and he couldn't do anything but defend loudly.
Zhou Zimu observed his expression and didn't lie. He nodded and said, "What you said is true, what about the IOU?" ”
"The IOU is in my belt, you can see it." I've never seen such a serious person, and Gao Xiong, who is a scoundrel, just wants to be free as soon as possible.
Turning out the IOU from the belt, Zhou Zimu gave the IOU to Jin Se for identification. For the first time, Jin Se saw an IOU that made her inexplicably carry 500 taels of silver. And the big letters on it clearly said that Zhuang Zhenglin owed Gao Xiong 500 taels of silver, and promised to pay it off before August 1.
It's not just April, and Jin Se blew up: "It's clearly written on it that it will be paid off before August 1, and there are still three months." You want it now! She was so depressed that she couldn't wake up from a dream, and she was asked for debt as soon as she came.
"Sister Jinse, your uncle has run away. Can you pay back 500 taels of silver in three months? Come home with me. "Gao Xiong still doesn't give up.
Zhou Zimu held up the IOU: "It is now confirmed that the repayment date has not arrived, and you can't disturb others now." In case of recidivism, a cell warning. ”
Gao Xiong was dissatisfied: "She can't pay it back!" ”
"Who said I can't yet, it's not that there are three months, I will pay you back 500 taels of silver in three months!" Jin Se was emotional.
"What if you can't pay it back?" Gao Xiong didn't believe it at all.
"No, I'll marry you with a shop in three months!" Her brain was hot and she shouted loudly.
Gao Xiong smiled proudly: "Sister, this is what you said, I didn't force you." Zhou Zhuai also heard it, and he can give us a witness. ”
Zhou Zimu reluctantly put the IOU back on Gao Xiong's belt: "I testify, after three months, Miss Jinse will pay back Gao Xiong 500 taels of silver, otherwise she will marry him with a shop." ”
This girl pits her own business, and she does it so smoothly. Zhou Zimu thought to himself.
Jin Se also regretted it, and it was too late to say the words: "You can't trouble me again for these three months!" ”
"Okay, I promise I won't trouble you." Gao Xiong smiled evilly, as if he had seen the picture of Jin Se marrying him.
"Let's go!" Zhou Zimu pulled the chain in his hand.
"Where to go, let me go. How much money you want, I'll give you. "Zhou Zimu doesn't get oil and salt in this aspect, he thinks that the right thing will definitely be done. Gao Xiong was finally imprisoned by him in the county jail.
Zhou Zimu specially told Gao Xiong not to think about escaping, otherwise he would definitely arrest him again. Gao Xiong was under the watchful eye of Zhou Zimu and was imprisoned for three days. came out and was still dishonest, looking for someone to take revenge on Zhou Zimu, but he was beaten up and locked up again.
On this side, Gao Xiong's annoyance was solved, and Jin Se lost the money for the broom and knife, and then went home. originally didn't have much money, and he lost 45 yuan. She counted her money, and her whole body was less than 10 taels.
Reluctantly re-examining her life, she is an ordinary ordinary person who has no special skills, and her only hobby is to like to eat. Fortunately, she still has modern knowledge, as long as she is willing to work hard, she will definitely hope.
People always have to have dreams, in case they come true.
Take stock of your own family business. A dilapidated tavern, a small courtyard to live in. The small courtyard has two rooms, one large and one small, a utility room, plus a kitchen and toilet. There is also a chicken coop and a vegetable garden in one corner of the courtyard.
If you want to earn 500 taels of silver, you can't find a way to do it. Start by setting yourself a small goal to raise money.
Jin Se felt that the chicken coop and vegetable garden would be a little rewarding. You can sell some eggs for two dollars, and you can still have a lot of money left over from eating vegetables from your own vegetable garden. Use the money from the sale of eggs to buy two more chickens, chickens to lay eggs, and eggs to lay chickens. Then go to the street to buy some goods, resell them and think about it.
When I opened the chicken coop, the smell of chicken poop came to my face. Jin Se covered his nose and resisted the urge to vomit. Looking in with hope, there were no chickens, only a few scattered chicken feathers.
The chicken coop is empty, and the vegetables in the garden have withered due to a long period of unwatered. Seeing the sluggish cabbage, Jin Se wanted to cry without tears. The enthusiasm was hit to the point of malaise before it began.
"Heaven is going to kill me." Let's see what is valuable here, and sell something for money. After walking around several rooms twice, Jin Se found a hosta at the bottom of the jewelry box. The exquisite carved pattern is vivid, the jade is oily and full, and the texture is delicate. The style is special, and the flowers are rich.
Jin Se herself likes to wear jade pendants around her neck all year round in modern times, and the more she looks at this hosta, the more she loves it.
"This can sell for a lot of money, right?" She carefully wrapped the hosta in a handkerchief and found a pawnshop on the street.
"Yo, isn't this the old dealer's Jinse. What wind blows you to me. "The owner of the pawnshop seems to know the original person. Seeing Jin Se appear, the bearded face was full of smiles.
Standing in front of the high counter of the pawnshop, Jin Se took out the hosta from his handkerchief and handed it over slowly: "Boss, I want to be this." ”
"This ......" Boss Xu of the pawnshop looked at the hosta in his hand and was shocked. He looked at it carefully without changing his face, "Isn't this your mother's only relic?" Are you willing to do it? ”
This is a relic of the original mother, no wonder the family even sold chickens. Such a valuable hosta was restored and left untouched.
"Life is hard, and my mother will forgive me if she knows it." Jinse lowered his head and pretended to be sad.
"In this way, your father and I are old acquaintances. Lao Xu, I don't tell lies, the quality of this jade is average, and it is worth 4 taels of silver. It's not easy to see what you've been doing recently, so I'll give you 5 taels! ”
Jin Se's eyes widened in disbelief: "What! Only 5 taels of silver. ”
5 taels of silver, Jin Se's head felt that his wound hurt again. When I lost a broom and kitchen knife yesterday, I had a rough idea of the exchange rate of the silver taels here. 1 tael of gold is equivalent to 10 taels of silver, and 1 tael of silver is equivalent to 100 cents.
1 tael of silver is about 100 yuan in the name of a person. Originally, she thought that this hosta could be worth at least twenty or thirty taels, but she didn't expect the pawnshop owner to say that it was not worth much.
There are two ways in front of Jin Se, either to exchange the relics of the original body for 5 taels of silver and make money as the principal. Or go back to the liquor store and think of something else.
Jin Se held his chin with one hand and thought about the way out in the future. She looked around at the pawnshop's environment, and Boss Xu grinned and touched his mustache.
"Boss Xu, I'm sorry. I don't deserve it, you give it back to me. ”
Hearing that Jin Se was unwilling to be, Boss Xu chuckled and said, "Little girl, your life is not easy. 5 taels of silver is a lot, don't you know what is going on in your family now? ”
"I want to live a good life, too." Jin Se said helplessly. Forced to stay in this place without mobile phones and wifi, and to pay off a large debt. Others are here to be blessed, she is here to suffer, she thought to herself. Finally, he took back the hosta from Boss Xu.
Boss Xu took out 8 taels of silver from under the counter: "You kid, I can't cheat you, old man." Add 3 taels more to you. ”
Jinse had already begun to walk out. "Jinse, let's talk about it again." Boss Xu hurriedly came out of the counter.
Boss Xu chased quickly, and Jin Se ran fast. By the time he chased out of the pawnshop in a huff, Jin Se had already run away.
This bad old man, very bad. The eyes have never left the hosta, and they say that they are not worth it. Obviously the same thing, another pawnshop owner offered 60 taels of silver. Jin Se didn't even sell badly, so he was happy.
"Dead or alive?"
"Live and redeem within half a year." This is the only relic of the original mother, and now it is used for emergency relief. In the future, when you earn money, you will definitely redeem it. If you can pay off your debts smoothly, you will definitely have money to redeem them. Jin Se is now a lot of lice and no itching, and a lot of debts are not worried.
"Okay, I remind you that if you don't redeem it within half a year, your life will become dead. Items cannot be redeemed. The shopkeeper said kindly.
Standing in front of the broken tavern, Jin Se, who didn't know anything about drinking, looked at the four big characters of the dealer's tavern on the signboard. She can only start all over again, starting from what she is familiar with - selling milk tea.
Oops, oh my, I forgot to buy materials!
