It's been a long time, the sun is getting bigger, and it's almost noon.

Yang Xue saw through the gap in the crowd that An An not far away had fallen asleep in Chunyue's arms, and she felt even more irritable.

At this point, she really didn't want to go around in circles with the Zhang family anymore, so she said directly to Zhang Youcai: "Okay, I don't want to say anything more, I'll put my words here today, I won't give you the money, if you still want to make trouble, I'll accompany you." ”

"By the way, I might as well make it clear to you, how much money did the Hu family spend on my family when they came to my house, if you want their money to sell their bodies, it's not that you can't, but you have to pay me back the money I spent on them, then I can give you five taels of silver as their sales money according to what you said, how about it?"

Zhang Youcai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that there was a door, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Then how much did they spend on Mrs. at the beginning?" ”

"It's not much, just three or four taels of silver, in this way, I won't take much from you, just three taels of silver."

Yang Xue thought about it for a while, and then gave Zhang Youcai a specific number.

Zhang Youcai was a little frightened when he heard this, and he didn't believe that the two people who didn't know each other would spend so much money on each other.

Although he was still scared in his heart, out of greed for the five taels of silver in his heart, he still mustered up the courage to ask Yang Xue: "Did they spend so much money?" ”

"Or what do you think? You must know that when they came out of your house, it was winter, and you know what they were wearing, and it is normal for them to be sick or something after they have run so far. ”

"And how much it costs to get medicine when you're sick, I think you should know it too."

"Also, I think you know how bad their health was at that time, they were yellow and thin, and their clothes were ragged, and if you want them to be like this, you have to eat a lot of food."

"So, it's not too much for me to ask for three taels of silver, besides, I'll give you five taels of silver to sell your body silver, and then you can still earn two taels of silver, which happens to be the money your family was going to sell the Hu family at the beginning, and when you give me the money, I'll give you their sales silver, how about it?"

Yang Xue was still a little out of breath after saying so many words in one breath, so she took a silent breath after finishing speaking.

When Zhang Youcai heard it, he felt that it was not bad, this was much stronger than having to get one point, so that he could get two taels of silver before.

Two taels of silver is already a lot for a family like theirs, and it is enough for him to live a good life for a while.

It's just that their family doesn't have so much money, otherwise it wouldn't have happened that they sold the Hu family for two taels of silver.

At the same time, he was reluctant to spend so much money for the Hu family, even if he could get two taels of silver at that time, but he was still unwilling in his heart.

Moreover, he felt in his heart that the two taels of silver were a little less, judging from the news he had inquired about in the county town before and what he had seen, the Hu family and their mother and son must have more than two taels of silver in their hands.

He had inquired about it, for a big family like the county order, even if they sold their bodies, in order to show their benevolence, they would give the next person in the family a monthly salary.

And the Hu family's mother and son have been in the Li Mansion for two or three years, and they must have saved a lot of money in their hands, and the money in their hands must be more than these two taels of silver.

Therefore, he was still a little unwilling in his heart, but when he saw the county magistrate and the county magistrate in front of him, as well as the catcher with a knife on the side, he still didn't dare to say what was in his heart.

He was afraid, afraid that he would really offend the county magistrate and destroy the county magistrate, he was still afraid.

Therefore, he can only accept the method said by the county commander's wife, so that he can still get some money, otherwise he will not get anything, and maybe in the end he will be retaliated against for offending the county commander's family.

So, he thought about it for a while and said, "In this case, then why don't Madame give us two taels of silver directly, which is just right, and it will save some trouble." ”

When he said these words, Zhang Youcai was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

Hearing that she could get two taels of silver, Zhang Youcai's daughter-in-law Sun and Mrs. Zhang were a little excited, and even the old man Zhang, who was decadent before, looked at her.

Yang Xue looked at such a scene, and couldn't help but sigh the sadness of human nature again.

The crowd of onlookers also saw the behavior of the Zhang family, and now, there are more people who despise them.

There are also many people who do not hide their contempt, and say loudly to the people next to them: "Who is this family, fortunately, the mother and son of the Hu family ran out of that house, otherwise I don't know what will happen in the future." ”

Those people didn't lower their voices at all, so whether it was her, Li Bokang, or the Zhang family, most of the people present heard clearly.

She didn't react to Li Bokang, and they didn't care about the others, but the Zhang family's face was a little red and looked a little uncomfortable.

However, even so, Zhang Youcai still did not give up the two taels of silver, and seeing that she did not answer his words, he asked again: "I don't know what Mrs. thinks?" ”

"No, you give me three taels of silver first, and I'll give you five taels of silver."

"You ......"

"What, do you have an opinion?"

"No, Madame misunderstood."

"That's good."

"By the way, when do you get the money, I don't have much time to waste on you."

Yang Xue originally deliberately made things difficult for them, she knew that the Zhang family couldn't come up with so much money at the moment, so she put forward this opinion.

She was unwilling to give them money, even if she really let Chunhua's sister-in-law and their mother and son sell their bodies, she would not give them the Zhang family, but gave Chunhua's sister-in-law and them to take it themselves.

She felt that the Zhang family was like this to their mother and son, and such a family was not worthy of taking the money from their mother and son to live their own good life.

However, in order not to be surprised, she wanted to give them a time limit, lest they really let their family make up enough money, and she had to give the information to their family, and she would definitely feel uncomfortable at that time.

She didn't want to do anything that would block her heart, so she had to find a way to solve it.

Zhang Youcai's mind turned a few times in his stomach in an instant, their family's reputation in the village is not very good now, and their relatives are not wealthy, it must be a little difficult to borrow these three taels of silver for a while, and it will take a certain amount of time.

So, after thinking about it, he said, "I wonder if Madame can give us five days, and I will definitely get the money then." ”

"No, five days is too long, I'll give you a day, and I'll bring the money tomorrow, and it will be invalid when it expires."

Yang Xue refused Zhang Youcai's proposal without thinking about it.
