In fact, as early as the first day of returning, Xie Siyun began to look for a suitable courtyard.

He chose a somewhat remote courtyard near the city gates, but it was quiet.

The yard is not above the street, and most of the neighbors around it are hermitage: outsiders who are recuperating and resting, owners of small businesses, and so on. The courtyard is surrounded by a middle, and it is said that it was originally a house bought by a playman, but because he was sinned, it was sold again for public use.

When Xie Siyun led Chu Yue to this courtyard for the first time, he was still a little afraid that Chu Yue would think it was too remote.

However, at first sight, Chu Yue fell in love with this courtyard: a large courtyard with a few entrances, and the size was enough. There was a stage in the front yard, and if they lived in, they would have to tear it down, and it would be nice to make it a garden.

There was nothing in the main hall that Chu Yue was not satisfied with in terms of furnishings and furniture, and she even felt that except for the courtyard, the other rooms did not need to be changed at all, as long as they were cleaned up and some new things were added, they could live in.

But Xie Siyun was unwilling: he would rather replace all the things in the house with new ones according to the original state of these things, rather than wronged Chu Yue to live in the old house. In the past, he couldn't let his mother live a good life, and now he must not lose the first moon again.

Chu Yue is not a hypocritical person, since Xie Siyun wants to be like this, she also accepts such benefits calmly: after all, the money she earns is used to spend.

I finally felt at home in my heart, which made Chu Yue more and more motivated, especially when it came to asking the Xie family for money.

Within two days, Mr. Bookkeeper calculated that the things that Yan Sulan had damaged with them that day added up to a total of eight hundred taels of silver.

Chu Yue knew that Yan Sulan would definitely not hand over the eight hundred taels easily, because Yuan Sturgeon went to Xie's house three times with the account book, and they didn't even let the door in. The last time was when Jia Ding almost took a big stick to beat the sturgeon out, and Chu Yue knew that they were probably going to use unconventional means.

The sky became colder and colder, Xie Chuyue put on a thick jacket early in the morning, and sat in the carriage to go to Xie's house with the sturgeon.

Xie Siyun wanted to accompany Chu Yue, but Chu Yue refused: Xie Siyun had his own things to do, and they were the most efficient in their division of labor and cooperation.

The sturgeon also wore a thick jacket and went all the way to the door of the Xie family, and found that the Xie family seemed to be feasting today. Only then did Chu Yue remember that today was the old lady's birthday. Sixty-five years old is also considered an advanced age in this era.

It is rare for people in the big room and the second room to gather at the door, and they are all welcoming guests.

Such a big event, but no one came to invite the sturgeon, but you can see how the Xie family doesn't look down on the sturgeon.

Yuan Sturgeon looked at the lively scene at the door, and was also a little hesitant: "Chuyue, are we still making trouble?" ”

The first three times were ruthlessly turned away, but this time for the sake of the old lady's birthday, Chu Yue bowed slightly: "See?" Yan Sulan is also standing outside now. You go and talk to her about this matter alone, if she shouldn't give you cold words, we won't give them this face now. ”

The sturgeon thought this was very good, so he answered, and then stepped forward with the ledger in his arms.

Chu Yue called the coachman to stop in the corner on the side, on the one hand, it was convenient for her to observe, and on the other hand, others would not pay too much attention to her.

Seeing the distant sturgeon coming, Yan Sulan's face, which was still smiling and welcoming, suddenly became ugly.

She pulled the sturgeon aside, unceremoniously pointed at the sturgeon and said something, and then simply threw the ledger in the sturgeon's arms on the ground, as if to warn the sturgeon not to approach the Xie family, so she turned her head and left angrily.

But as soon as she arrived at the door of Xie's house, she returned to her smiling face when she was about to greet the guests, as if nothing had happened, and she was like the two of them who had accused the sturgeon before.

Yuan Sturgeon picked up the account book, walked straight towards Chu Yue, got into the carriage, and she was also very angry: "Yan Sulan told me that there is no one to die if you ask for money. Let me not make trouble at the door of Xie's house today, otherwise she will definitely call the people from the government to come and take me to prison. ”

Chu Yue raised her eyebrows, she didn't believe this: If it was useful to find the government, I'm afraid Yan Sulan would have gone a long time ago.

She looked at the ledger in Yuan Sturgeon's hand and nodded: "In that case, we don't have to save face for the Xie family." Are you going to go in person? Or let someone else go? After all, it's a shameful thing, you are the big shopkeeper of the shark yarn workshop, I'm afraid that today's matter is done, and there will always be people who see your jokes. ”

In this regard, the sturgeon didn't care much: "I'll go in person, and I can rest assured that things will be done." I don't care if it's shameful or not, you take me to see the world outside, is it possible that I still have to retreat in order to lose it? ”

She smiled calmly: "Besides, the most shameful thing is the Xie family, not me." They are not afraid, so why should I be afraid? ”

At this moment, Chu Yue felt how lucky she was: with so many people who trusted her and loved her, if she didn't work hard in this life, she would also pay for their trust in herself.

After watching the sturgeon tidy up his clothes again, he walked towards the Xie family, where the guests were heavy.

Under Yan Sulan's surprised gaze, she slapped the account book on the top of the case where Xie had received gifts at the door of the house, and looked straight at Yan Sulan in front of everyone: "Mrs. Xie, I've been here for the fourth time, when will you be able to pay back the eight hundred taels you owe to our shark yarn workshop?" ”

Yan Sulan's face immediately changed, she took a step forward and pushed the sturgeon fiercely: "What are you doing here?!" ”

The sturgeon took a step back, but it was not afraid, just grabbed the account book with one hand, and waved the other hand to greet the guests: "Come on, come on, big guy come and take a look!" The Xie family owes me more than 800 taels of silver from the shark yarn workshop, and if you don't pay it back, you won't pay it back. Now you are still pushing me on the street, what is the reason for this? ”

The guests really stopped, and the Xie family's big room and second room also looked at each other.

Yan Sulan's face was extremely ugly, and she stretched out her hand to step forward and push the sturgeon again, but she couldn't help it: "I warn you, today is the big day of my old lady's birthday, don't make trouble here, otherwise I want you to look good!" ”

"Hmph-"

Yuan Sturgeon snorted coldly, not afraid of Yan Sulan's plain warning: "Don't say this again, right?" I'm not here once or twice. If the eldest lady was willing to talk to me, we wouldn't be where we are today, wouldn't we? Could it be that you have forgotten that I took you aside to discuss this matter with you, but you threw my ledger on the ground and warned me that if I made trouble again, I would be beaten out with a big stick. I had to change my approach as a last resort! ”

Saying that, Yuan Sulan didn't give Yan Sulan any time, but looked at the onlookers next to him again: "The big guys are all commenting!" That day, the eldest lady of the Xie family somehow made trouble in my shark yarn workshop. She also tore up several of my priceless skeins, and I made it clear that she was going to pay me all the things on the side, and that the skeins were to be returned three times the amount. ”

She raised the ledger in her hand and said, "I have the ledger here as proof." It was calculated that it was a total of eight hundred and forty-two taels of three dollars and six dollars, and for the sake of the Xie family's face, I collected eight hundred taels of silver. I've come here to Xie's house three or four times, and I've closed the door when I come back. ”

Spreading out the account book, the sturgeon looked unafraid: "Our shark yarn workshop is a small business, not to mention that the hank is rare, and if I don't have one, I will have one less." You are giving me a comment, I came to Xie to ask for money, could it be that I was wrong? ”

"Yo, how can this eldest lady of the Xie family do such a thing?"

"I know, I was there that day. She is...... The style is not very suitable! ”

"No matter how inappropriate, today is the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Xie family, they can't make such trouble, right?"

"Although the shark yarn workshop has only been in our Nanzhou City for a long time, but I see that both the shopkeeper and the guy are all good friends, not to mention that the shopkeeper didn't say it, she has come to the Xie family several times, this is not a trouble, right?"

"Yes, looking at the shopkeeper from afar, he is very generous, and he won't deceive people. This Xie family is doing things more and more inauthenticly! ”

……

There was a lot of discussion, one after another, but most of them were towards the distant sturgeon.

Even those who were going to Xie's house as guests had a lot of complaints about Yan Sulan's domineering appearance.

Just when this situation was stalemate, the old housekeeper suddenly came out of the door of Xie's house, and respectfully accepted the account book in the hand of the sturgeon: "The old lady heard that the shopkeeper came from afar to congratulate her, please ask the shopkeeper to come in and talk!" ”

The old lady had invited someone, and Yan Sulan didn't dare to say anything more.

It's just that before she entered the door, she glanced at Chu Yue-

Chu Yue was not frightened, because Yan Sulan couldn't see her clearly because she knew where she was.

And Yan Sulan's eyes only flashed, and the first moon closed the curtain.

After a while, the sturgeon came out with the ledger in his arms.

Getting into Chu Yue's car, she was elated: "It's done, the old lady has settled the account." I only received six hundred taels according to your wishes, and the other two hundred taels were regarded as a congratulatory gift to the old lady. I saw that the old lady of the Xie family was not angry this time, and she never gave Yan Sulan a good face, this time we won a big victory! ”

yes, a big victory, but I'm afraid...... also completely offended the Xie family.

Chu Yue let the coachman leave here, and there was hatred in his eyes: "They killed their mother, maybe their father was also killed by them." Now it's just a lesson for them, and there's a lot more to come! ”

Even if he didn't say it explicitly, Chu Yue could still sense Xie Siyun's intentions: he wanted the Xie family to completely return the debt to them.

Especially Xie Siyun's father and mother.
