010 Selling
"If you die, five taels of silver, and live three and a half."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Chen Xiaoshu took the silver collar and put it in the back basket and stood up.
The shopkeeper looked at Chen Xiaoshu in surprise, he didn't expect this girl to be so tough, he said to leave, and hurriedly said: "Little girl, little girl, please stay, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can talk slowly." β
Chen Xiaoshu turned around and said: "Shopkeeper, business is not like this, my silver collar is only four and a half net weight, and the fineness of the silver is good, plus this carving, five taels of silver can't be said." β
was told by Chen Xiaoshu, and the shopkeeper was not embarrassed, and continued to smile and say, "Then how much do you say?" β
"A fixed price, seven taels of silver." Chen Xiaoshu said unceremoniously.
The shopkeeper's face was entangled, and after thinking for a long time, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, just according to what the girl said." β
took the money and came out of the pawnshop, and wanted to go to the infirmary to grab some medicine for Chen Linxiao, but after thinking about it, Chen Linxiao himself didn't come, and if the medicine was not right, it would be better not to take it.
went out to prepare to hand over the money to the Huang family, and now he still has eight and a half on him, which is enough for an ordinary farmer to save for two years.
With money, Chen Xiaoshu's heart is a little bottom, so he is ready to buy some food, the food in the space has been eaten, if he only relies on the Chen family's food, Chen Xiaoshu has no doubt that they will starve to death one day.
Smelling the aroma from the steamed bun shop, Chen Xiaoshu couldn't help drooling, there were many people waiting to buy steamed buns in front of the steamed bun shop, and Chen Xiaoshu also wanted to stand at the door and line up like them.
"Have you heard? This Cui landlord will give fifty taels of silver to his youngest son! β
"Why haven't I heard that I found the lame man in our village, but the girl was crying and looking for death, and the lame mother-in-law was reluctant, so in the end this thing didn't work out."
"This matter can damage Yin morality, who doesn't know that the little young master of the Cui family is no longer done, just wait for the bride to pass through the door and nail it directly into the coffin."
Chen Xiaoshu was chilled when he listened to it, this kind of plot that used to only appear in TV series actually appeared by his side, but now he is unable to protect himself, let alone help others, and he has become an indifferent person in Lu Xun's pen.
When it came to Chen Xiaoshu, Chen Xiaoshu said weakly: "I want twenty meat buns." β
A meat bun was three pennies, counted out the copper plate and handed it to the proprietress, Chen Xiaoshu left the bun shop tightly with the bun in his arms.
Finding a corner where no one was there and putting the buns into the space, and doing a long time of psychological construction for himself, Chen Xiaoshu felt more relaxed.
When I came to the east end of the town, Uncle Dashan was already waiting here, and the others had not yet come.
Chen Xiaoshu thought about it and took out a bun from the space, and he was embarrassed to sit in someone's donkey cart for nothing.
"Uncle Dashan, you take this, go back and give it to the child."
Chen Xiaoshu handed over the buns, and Li Dashan was surprised when he saw the white and fat buns: "This is not good, Xiaoshu girl, you should take it back to Lin Xiao to eat, he is not in good health, he should make up for it." β
"Uncle Dashan, just take it, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to make your car again, and I still have two left." Chen Xiaoshu said and lifted the rags on the back basket, revealing two buns.
Li Dashan was actually a little unhappy just now, the people in the village always make their own cars for free, and the thin-skinned ones also know how to give an egg a few pieces of candy or something, and the thick-skinned ones don't know about it, this is all a village's nod and don't look up, and he is embarrassed to ask for it.
But now that he saw that Chen Xiaoshu was so good at doing things, he also accepted the buns.
Chen Xiaoshu saw him accept the buns, and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Dashan, can you buy the buns today?" β
Li Dashan nodded and said, "Little Shu girl, I know what you want to say, don't worry, I haven't seen anything." β
"Thank you, Uncle Dashan."
Chen Xiaoshu said with a smile.
She knew that Li Dashan would not say it, because he was also a vested interest, and if this matter got out, the Huang family would not go to his house to get that bun back.
Don't think it's an exaggeration, with Chen Xiaoshu's understanding of the Huang family, this incident is very likely to happen.
After a while, everyone also came back, Chun Niang held a piece of light blue cloth in her arms, and also stuffed Li Dashan with a few pieces of sugar.
"Did you catch the medicine?" Chunniang asked.
Chen Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "The doctor said that Lin Xiao didn't come, so he didn't dare to grab the medicine at will." β
On the way back, the fifth grandmother and the little lady couldn't wait to strip Chen Xiaoshu naked to see how much money she made, and they were all blocked by Chen Xiaoshu without being soft or hard.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a young man of the fourteenth and fifth years standing at the entrance of the village with an anxious look, and after seeing them, he hurried over.
"Brother Ercai, what's wrong?" Chunniang asked.
Ercai said with an urgent face: "I'm looking for Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu run quickly, don't go home." β
"Ercai, what's wrong?" Chen Xiaoshu asked, "Speak slowly, don't worry." β
Chen Er is one of the few friends of Chen Linxiao's original owner, and he has also visited Chen Linxiao's house before.
"Your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are going to sell you, Lin Xiao was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood when he was in a hurry, he asked me to tell you not to go homeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Chen Xiaoshu couldn't hear what Chen Ercai was saying behind him, so he jumped out of the car and ran desperately to Chen's house.
"Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu." Chun Niang shouted two sentences in the back, hurriedly picked up Chen Xiaoshu's back basket and followed, Chen Ercai stomped his feet, remembered another thing that Lin Xiao had instructed, and strode towards Li Zheng's house.
Grandma Zhang Wu and the little lady in the car looked at each other, and also followed, ready to watch the excitement.
Only Li Dashan sighed helplessly.
When I returned to Chen's house, I saw two stout mothers-in-law standing at the door of Chen's house, full of people watching the excitement inside and out.
Seeing Chen Xiaoshu come back, there was another sound of rustling in the crowd.
Hearing the whispered discussions of the people around him, Chen Xiaoshu's heart moved.
"Death, Xiao Shu, you're back."
Huang said to Chen Xiaoshu with an uncharacteristically smile on his face.
Chen Xiaoshu ignored her and rushed to Chen Linxiao, only to see that there were blood stains on the corners of Chen Linxiao's mouth and clothes, and the whole person was also shaky.
"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, are you okay?"
Chen Xiaoshu didn't dare to think about what would happen if something really happened to Chen Linxiao.
Chen Linxiao tugged at the corners of his mouth and secretly gave her a reassuring look, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, didn't I tell you not to come back?" β
"Mrs. Zhang, this is Xiao Shu's girl." Huang said flatteringly to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Since you're back, then come with me." β
"Big brother, second brother, Lin Xiao just vomited blood, don't you want to find a doctor for him?"
Chen Xiaoshu looked at Chen Linying, who was squatting in the corner of the courtyard, and Chen Linwei, who had a playful expression, and said.
"What are you talking about, how can the family have a penny to find a doctor." Huang crossed his waist and said, "It just so happens that you are back, I have something to tell you, Mrs. Zhang is here to say goodbye to the young master of the Cui family, and you don't know that this girl is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and she has been favored by Mrs. Zhang, so you can follow Mrs. Zhang." β
"Blessing, do you want this blessing to give your family a full show? Don't think I don't know that you're going to sell me to a dying man! β
Chen Xiaoshu calmed down now, and said coldly, seeing Chunniang who had just run in the crowd, she said to Chunniang: "Chunniang bothers you to help me hire a doctor quickly, or I'm afraid that Lin Xiao will Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· him."
After that, Chen Xiaoshu had a sad expression again.
"What are you talking about, you dead girl, dare to curse me Manxiu, look at how I clean you up." Huang looked left and right when he heard this, as if he was looking for some weapon to take advantage of.
Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "Okay, I'm going to take the people away." β
"Big brother, second brother, Xiao Shu, she is my unfinished lady, you sold her like this, where did you leave me?"
Chen Linxiao stood up staggering with his hands on the wall, looked at Boss Chen and Elder Chen with a sad face.
"Fourth, this, this, we are also for your good." Chen Linying looked like a big brother and said, "Fourth, you are not in good health, depending on what kind of medicine the doctor does not need money, it is also a last resort to send Xiao Shu to Cui's house, I have to get silver money to treat you and get medicine, as for the lady, when you are well, the eldest brother promises to find a good one for you." β
