Chapter 297: Panic
But the moment he picked up the wooden box, his expression froze.
Then the man hurriedly opened the box, and his expression changed even more.
"You pay me!"
He raised his head suddenly, staring at Lin Shengnan with dead eyes.
"If you don't compensate me, don't think about leaving today!"
As he said this, he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Shengnan's sleeve.
Seeing this person's expression, Lin Shengnan was shocked and panicked, she subconsciously struggled, looked into the wooden box, and saw a box of broken porcelain tiles placed in the box.
Seeing this scene, Lin Shengnan's mind boomed,
"Someone has been falsely accused!"
Her heart sank to the bottom.
Although she is still just a yellow flower girl who has not yet married.
But it's not a deep lady.
Some folk things in the countryside are naturally known.
This is clearly an immortal jump!
Immortal jumping, as the name suggests, is a trap that even immortals can't jump out of.
At this time, Lin Shengnan couldn't care about the pain of his elbow, but he just tried hard to break away from the hand that was holding his sleeve.
But for a while, the little man grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go.
"Help, help! Someone has robbed in broad daylight!"
In a hurry, Lin Shengnan shouted loudly.
Hearing her cry for help, many people around gathered around.
Seeing this, the little man had no choice but to let go of Lin Shengnan's sleeves, but he also shouted loudly,
"Fathers and fellow villagers are commenting, she broke my things, if she doesn't compensate me, she will run, and I can't help it!"
"This bottle was just taken out of the warehouse of Baochang Pawnshop and sold to Master Song at a price!"
"I'm just a guy delivering for Baochang Pawnshop!"
The little man hurriedly said.
At this moment, hearing the little man say this, the surrounding onlookers also pointed at him for a while.
Someone even said,
"This person, I know, is called Qiu Sangui, and he is indeed a buddy of Baochang Pawnshop. ”
"yes, yes, I know him too. He is still honest and will not deceive. ”
"This time, he is unlucky, what Master Song wants, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to pay for it!"
Hearing that many people around him fell towards him, the little man hurriedly cried again,
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am not a slanderer, but there are elderly people in my family who need to be supported, and there are three children waiting for me to take the salary to open the pot and cook the rice, this bottle, I can't afford to pay for it!"
Saying this, he hurriedly said to Lin Shengnan,
"This girl, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Baochang pawnshop with me to confront it, otherwise, let's go to the government and let the master of the government decide the case!"
Hearing this person say this, Lin Shengnan's heart sank completely.
"This girl, if you break other people's things, you have to be worthy of others. ”
"That's right. ”
"That's right. ”
The surrounding onlookers all said the same.
"I'm ......!"
was blamed by these people around him, Lin Shengnan's chest was like a stone blocked, and he was a little out of breath for a while.
She knew that this time, she might really encounter something worse than touching porcelain.
She probably really broke someone's stuff.
Lin Shengnan covered his elbows tightly, a little afraid to look at the other party's eyes, just stared at the porcelain fragments in the wooden box, and then said,
"How much...... How much does it cost?"
Her voice was small.
"Two hundred taels of silver!"
The little man hurriedly spoke.
His voice fell, like a thunderbolt exploding in Lin Shengnan's ears.
Boom.
It shook her straight to the ground.
Two hundred taels of silver!
Such a huge sum of money!
Her father used to be a carpenter, and because of his excellent craftsmanship, he was praised by the neighbors, and even some large families came to ask him to work.
You can earn about six taels of silver a month.
Excluding the expenses of the family, there are four taels of silver left a month.
And she and her mother worked as tailors and helpers in large families, getting up early and greedy late, adding up to almost four taels of silver a month.
A family, after a year of hard work and busyness, if there is no minor illness of cold and cough, it will take almost two years to earn so much.
But in the past two years, her father has been in poor health, and almost all the family's savings have been used to treat him with medicine.
Now where can I get two hundred taels of silver?
"This bottle, it's not that expensive, is it?"
She whispered, as if uncertain.
"It's not that expensive?!huh!"
The little man snorted coldly,
"This is something that Master Song values. ”
"It turned out to be an heirloom pawned by a declining Xiucai family. ”
"Why isn't there a value of two hundred taels of silver?"
"I see, you're trying to cheat, aren't you?!"
The little man asked sharply.
The little man's words fell, and the crowd of onlookers around him all pointed and pointed.
"Tsk! This ugly monster is really ugly and ugly. ”
"Yes, it's really hateful to break other people's things and want to repay them. She didn't want to think about it, if she didn't pay it, wouldn't it be for others to pay for themselves!"
"That's it! That's it! Killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, and damaging other people's things, naturally they should be compensated to others! I don't know how her father and mother taught her to give birth to such an ugly woman!"
In the midst of everyone's fingers, Lin Shengnan's face turned red with shame!
She wished there was a crack in the ground that would allow her to get out and escape into the ground.
Even if it turns into a loach, it's better than it is now!
At this moment, she was inexplicably so hateful.
She hated herself so much.
Hate your face, hate your uselessness, hate yourself for making mistakes.
"Why don't I die like this. ”
"If I'm dead, maybe I won't have to pay for it, right?"
"I'm dead, so no one calls me ugly?"
"Yes, what's the point of living in this world for an ugly monster like me?"
"It's good to die, you don't have to be sad anymore when you die, you don't have to be afraid, and I just happened to follow my father on the road......"
In Lin Shengnan's mind, one thought after another kept popping up.
"Are you going to pay or not!"
"You have something to say!"
Just when Lin Shengnan was stunned, suddenly, the little man seemed to be very angry and pushed Lin Shengnan hard.
Lin Shengnan was caught off guard and fell backwards.
"Ahh
She subconsciously exclaimed.
But at that moment, a pair of hands reached out from behind and helped her.
"Thank you...... Thank you. ”
Stunned for a moment, Lin Shengnan subconsciously said.
Then she trembled, as if she had finally made a decision,
"I ...... I pay ......"
"You don't have to pay. ”
Lin Shengnan's words had just fallen, and a gentle voice sounded behind her.
