"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Qing'er saw Qin Chu standing in a daze, and asked with concern.

Qin Chu came back to his senses, "Oh, it's okay." Anyway, I hurriedly asked Qing'er to help me remember the person who was said by the system, my head is not good, and I am afraid that I will forget it as soon as I turn around.

instructed Hao Qing'er, seeing that Ah Cheng had almost poured the water, he packed up his things and went to the house.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, I heard Yang Xiaolan's voice coming: "The eldest brother is a showman, and the family is happy, especially the mother, who didn't sleep all night with excitement, saying that his father knows everything from the spring, and he can also look at it."

“…… Zhenghui is fighting for anger and winning glory for our Yang family."

Yang Zhenghui fell for Xiucai? Qin Chu raised his eyebrows, then Yang Xiaolan came over this time, either to show off or to ask for money.

Glancing at Yang Xiaolan next to Yang's mother, she sat down on the circle chair opposite the two.

Ah Cheng went to put things away, and Qing'er stood behind her obediently.

The two on the other side ignored her and continued.

Yang Xiaolan glanced at Yang's mother's expression, and saw that she was really happy for Yang Zhenghui, and hesitated: "The eldest brother wants to go to the official school in the state capital to study, and the family really can't take out so much money, the eldest brother said, the second brother wants to marry, it is the time to use the money, let's not trouble the aunt, the mother silently shed tears all day, I had to carry them behind my back......"

Qin Chu pouted, sure enough, there was nothing new at all.

"You're a good boy, how can you hide this kind of thing." Mother Yang was anxious: "Learning is a big deal, how much is still lacking in the family, you tell your aunt."

Last time, Yang Zhengming made meritorious service on the battlefield, not only was he promoted, but also brought back a reward, one hundred taels of silver and a few silk silks.

The family has money, and it is just in time for Yang Zhengming to marry, so Yang's mother doesn't want to be disadvantaged, not only rearrange the wedding room in the west, but also add two percent more to the dowry. In this way, seventy-seven, eighty-eight are deducted, and there are still twenty or thirty taels at home.

Yang Xiaolan's family knew about Yang Zhengming's promotion and reward, and in their cognition, it was natural to send half of it to them. But I didn't see Yang's mother send the silver over, but she waited for the notice that Yang Zhenghui was admitted to Xiucai.

"Don't say half of it, it's all the rewards for us, can we get back to Daddy?"

Thinking of her eldest brother's advice, Yang Xiaolan rubbed her handkerchief and looked embarrassed: "The official school is ten taels a year, as well as food and clothing, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and ......."

Mother Yang listened to her and thought in her heart, twenty taels should always be enough. Just as he was about to get up to get it, he heard Yang Xiaolan say:

"If it's just this money, in fact, it's enough to sell the land that my father worked so hard to open, and I will definitely not trouble my aunt and second brother, but the eldest brother said that he was selected by a great Confucian when he was taking the exam, but there are too many people who want to worship him every year, and the eldest brother is anxious...... I heard that he liked famous calligraphy and painting, so I borrowed silver and bought one to send over......"

Mother Yang frowned, although she is a woman, but this famous calligraphy and painting should not be cheap. Although he complained in his heart that Zhenghui was reckless, he could also understand his anxious mood, and after a while, he asked tentatively: "How much money did you borrow?" ”

"One hundred taels".

"Ahem......" Qin Chu just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, listening to the number she reported, he didn't hold back, and choked directly in his throat.

"Girl, are you alright?" Qing'er hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on her chest.

"Why are you so careless? Is it a little better? Mother Yang didn't care about anything else, and when she saw that she couldn't stop coughing, she said with concern.

Yang Xiaolan pinched the handkerchief tightly, gritting her teeth with hatred, feeling that she was deliberately going against herself.

Qin Chu coughed for a while before he gradually calmed down.

"Auntie......" Yang Xiaolan resumed the conversation, "The eldest brother is afraid that you and the second brother will be in a hurry, so he won't let me come, but he owes so much money to people outside, and he ...... profitable."

Qin Chu was surprised, and he also borrowed a loan shark?

Mother Yang's first reaction was also shocked, "Zhenghui borrowed a loan shark?" ”

Yang Xiaolan nodded: "The eldest brother was completely deceived by his classmates, and he bought it from the owner of the bookstore when he said that he was good, but who knew that in a blink of an eye, the person changed his mind and threatened the eldest brother with his money, saying that he wanted to publicize it, and now, it has risen to one hundred and fifty taels......

"What?" Mother Yang changed color when she heard this, and then sighed, "Zhenghui is really, how can this kind of thing be touched!" ”

"He was also instigated by others to do this, and the eldest brother couldn't eat the food he was worried about for the past few days......"

When Yang Xiaolan spoke, Qin Chu didn't miss any expression on her face. A person who had time to tell her something about what she didn't have when she just entered the door didn't look like someone was collecting debts.

"Alas! Zhenghui, this kid, was originally a showman, what a good thing......"

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, Mother Yang sighed and got up and went to the inner room, took out all the silver in the house, and also hugged two horses of cotton silk, which originally saw that it was gorgeous and magnificent, and it was an excellent material, so I thought about adding it as a dowry. Who knew that now that this happened, I had to endure the pain and take it out.

"There are so many leftovers at home now, you can take them back first for emergencies, and if you find a cloth shop or a pawnshop, you can also exchange some silver first...... Don't let them ruin Zhenghui's reputation, I'll talk to him when Zhengming comes back, and see what to do about it."

Yang Xiaolan looked at the silver that Yang's mother took out, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes flashed.

"That's the only way to go." As he spoke, he went to get the silver and cloth on the table: "Auntie, you have to think of a way quickly, in case they find the house and let the mother know, she is not good ...... herself."

"Don't let your mother know about this matter, my aunt must find a way as soon as possible, you tell Zhenghui, no matter what, stabilize the person first."

"Wait!"

Qin Chu saw that Yang Xiaolan didn't even say thank you, and was about to leave with her things, feeling that the people in their family were white-eyed wolves who couldn't be raised. I really couldn't look past it, so I screamed to stop people.

"Do what?" Yang Xiaolan frowned and looked back: "You haven't married into our Yang family yet, my aunt will give me the money, and I don't need your consent, right?" ”

Yang Xiaolan glanced at Mother Yang meaningfully as she spoke, and shouted, "Auntie......"

Mother Yang was also a little embarrassed, blaming her for being dizzy for a while, seeing that Chu Chu was about to enter the door, it was also a family, she took so much money out at once, she should have asked for her opinion first.

"If the road is uneven, someone will shovel, and if the road is uneven, someone will take care of it." Qin Chu said faintly: "I haven't passed the door yet, and I don't have the right to take care of the affairs of this family, but so much money was thrown to your family, and I didn't even hear a thank you, I can't look past it, so I have to say it."

"It's all a family...... "Mother Yang wants to calm things down, Qin Chu is not that easy to talk to.

"Auntie, don't be impatient, listen to me after I finish speaking, and then consider whether to give or not to give this money today." Qin Chu got up, walked to Yang Xiaolan's side, and looked her up and down.

"You, what are you doing?" Yang Xiaolan was stunned by her gaze, and subconsciously tightened her hand holding the cloth and money bag.

Qin Chu raised his eyebrows: "What are you nervous about?" ”

"Who, who is nervous". Yang Xiaolan glared at her with a stalk on her neck, "If you have something to say, I'm leaving."

"Good!" Qin Chu nodded: "Let's start from the beginning, you said that your brother borrowed a loan shark to buy calligraphy and paintings, so good, there is always an IOU, right?" If you don't have an IOU, you always have a receipt, right? Qin Chu stretched out his hand: "Take it and take a look."

You can't talk about white teeth, whatever she says is what she says, right?

"What, what IOU, how could I carry such an important thing with me?" Yang Xiaolan saw that Qin Chu's hand was still stretched out in front of her, and looked at Mother Yang anxiously: "Auntie, how could I lie about this kind of thing casually?" ”

Just now because she was in a hurry, listening to Qin Chu's reminder at this moment, Mother Yang was also a little hesitant, but thinking that after all, this matter was not a trivial matter, so much silver, Xiaolan should not be able to lie, so she said: "Chu Chu, I don't think this matter can be faked, let's let her go."

Subconsciously, Mother Yang didn't want the messy things at home to be known by Qin Chu, but she also encountered them twice.

Qin Chu glanced at Mother Yang, she was a typical fan of the authorities, and turned to Yang Xiaolan and said, "You said that the IOU didn't stay with you, do you dare to go back and bring it to us?" ”

Yang Xiaolan reacted quickly, her eyes rolled, and she looked embarrassed: "I originally came behind my eldest brother's back, if I let him know, I wouldn't agree to let me take my aunt's money."

"Forget it, Chu Chu, let her go." Mother Yang spoke again.

Yang Xiaolan listened to Yang's mother's words, and glanced at Qin Chu demonstratively: "Did you hear it, my aunt has spoken."

At this point, Qin Chu said that it was useless, so he had to turn sideways and make way out.

When Yang Xiaolan went out, she bumped into her with the cloth in her hand without a trace. It hit her right on the shoulder, and she gasped in pain.

After Yang Xiaolan left, Mother Yang pulled Qin Chu to sit down, sighed and said, "Do you think your aunt is stupid and gave her money without distinguishing between truth and falsehood."

Although he replied yes in his heart, Qin Chu still shook his head gently.

"Since Uncle Zhengming left, no matter how hard and difficult it has been for more than ten years, I will send silver over every month as usual......

Mother Yang paused as she spoke, and her eyes gradually turned into the distance: "It wasn't until the last time they begged me to give you to Zhenghui that I realized that they had already changed......"

“…… If Zhenghui is really in trouble, it is impossible for me to stand by as an aunt. If they lie to me...... After that, I will die of this heart......".

Qin Chu didn't know that she still had such considerations, so he took her hand and comforted: "Auntie, you have done a good job, and I will work with Brother Zhengming in the future to be more filial to you."

"You're a good boy, my aunt always knew it." Mother Yang is very relieved, all the hardships have been suffered in advance, God has opened his eyes, and the days in the future will only get better and better.

The two chatted a few more words before Qin Chu got up and left.

"Girl, why is your hairpin gone?" As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, Qing'er, who followed behind, found that the plum blossom hairpin that her girl had been wearing on her head was gone.
