Chapter 28 The ploughing cattle were detained
From getting up in the morning to noon, the old couple of the Wen family broke their legs and struggled to speak, but they still couldn't scrape together enough five taels of silver.
There is only so much to borrow if it is enough, and there is really no place to borrow.
The mother-in-law also wanted to follow, but because of her poor health, she had to give up and asked Shen Ni to follow.
Shen Ni agreed again and again, changed his clothes and followed his father-in-law into the city.
There was nothing to say all the way, and after coming to Wutong Town again, Shen Ni lost some of his original awe, but rose up with a trace of closeness.
The two of them went one after the other, and soon came to the place where yesterday's accident happened.
I saw Wen Tao and Zhang from afar, surrounded by several people and squatting on the ground, with some bruises on their faces, and it seemed that they had suffered a lot.
The young man also noticed the two of them and greeted the people around him, while the rest of the people cheered up and looked at Wen Changming.
Hurriedly ran to him, Wen Changming nodded and said, "A few little brothers, I brought the money."
"Quite sensible! Wouldn't that be the right thing to do earlier? The young man nodded, satisfied with his attitude.
The father-in-law nodded yes, and with a smile on his face, he handed over the money bag containing scattered silver and copper plates, urging them to let them go first.
Realizing that the number was wrong, the young man frowned, weighed the money bag with his hand and said, "Old man! Are you kidding me or am I not able to count? ”
"How dare you? Little brother, you see, we are all countrymen, and we really can't borrow money, so you can take these first, but if you save enough money in the future, I will definitely send them to you."
"It's not that I'm unreasonable, since I don't have money, then you don't want to plough the cattle, take someone and get out of here."
Putting the money bag in his arms, the young man asked someone to let Wen Tao go, and turned around to leave.
Wen Changming was anxious at that time, and said in his heart that the ploughing cattle must not be lost, otherwise they would not be able to pay it back by smashing the pot and selling iron.
Reaching out to pull the young man's clothes, Shen Ni quickly grabbed his father-in-law and said, "Dad, don't get excited, it's good if people can come back."
The young man glanced back at Wen Changming, then looked up at Shen Ni, snorted coldly and turned to leave.
After calming his father-in-law's emotions, Shen Ni ran to Wen Tao's side again and comforted Zhang with concern.
Zhang's eyes were a little dull, and he cried aggrievedly after waiting for a long time, saying that he had provoked someone.
More than three taels of silver are gone, and even the ploughing cattle are lost, and this trip to the city can be said to have lost the wife and the soldiers, and the losses are heavy.
What is it like for the people in the mountains to have no ploughing cattle, Shen Ni couldn't be clearer, if it is not good, the two families are very likely to fight each other, and even their reputation in the village is stinky.
Comparing his heart to his heart, Shen Ni felt that he couldn't stand by and watch.
It's just that I don't have any acquaintances in the town, and the only one I know is Uncle Fu, but the two can't talk about any intersection at all.
Looking at the sad father-in-law, Shen Ni sighed, and said in his heart that he would either be cheeky and try it? If it works, it's better than being poked in the backbone like now, and if it really doesn't work, you can only go back to your parents' house to find a way.
"Daddy! You wait for me for a while, and I'll figure it out."
didn't care about explaining too much, Shen Ni asked his father-in-law to soothe the emotions of Wen Tao and his family, and then walked towards the back of Wutong Town.
Although the father-in-law didn't know what Shen Ni was going to do, what could he do now that he was at the end of his rope.
Wen Tao stole a glance at Wen Changming, his face turned red with shame, thinking that in the rest of his life, he was afraid that he would not be able to turn over.
