Xiaoqi's brother's name is very interesting, called Du Qingniu. This honest man is obviously also a stupid person, and he doesn't know where to start for a while.

Xiaoqi asked for a long time before she came up with a rough idea.

It turned out that Xiaoqi's father asked Xiaoqi's uncle to borrow five taels of silver last year and buy a cow cub. Raised until the beginning of spring this year, but did not want to suffer from the plague, the cow fell ill and died.

The oxen died, and the silver was lost. When my uncle heard the news, he came to collect the debt. Du Laohan's house is surrounded by four walls, and his eyes are black, and the deficit of these five taels of silver cannot be made up no matter what.

Therefore, the family seems to be in a hurry, seeing that spring ploughing is coming. Without ploughing oxen, the fields cannot be plowed. There are creditors who come to collect debts, and this day is really tormenting.

Du Qingniu was still a little vague, but he couldn't stand Xiaoqi's repeated questions. Only then did he tell all the truth.

It turned out that my uncle gave a suggestion. is willing to pay 20 taels of silver to redeem Xiaoqi, and at the same time forgive the previous debt of 5 taels, and make up another 5 taels of silver to Xiaoqi's father and brother, so that they can buy a cow again.

And the price is that Xiaoqi's place must be arranged by her uncle.

After hearing this, Xiaoqi was really angry and anxious.

Ren Cangqiong couldn't cry or laugh. He was of aristocratic origin, and although he had an embarrassing position in the family before, he never worried about his livelihood.

If he hadn't come with him in person, he probably wouldn't have been able to imagine it, because five taels of silver could force a family to have no way out.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, there was a sudden noise of footsteps outside the door.

The door panel was pushed open with a "squeak", and two people walked in.

When Du Qingniu saw these two people, his face changed slightly.

The man in front of him, about forty years old, was dressed as a steward, with a mustache and a shrewdness. And a young man behind him, a few years younger than Du Qingniu, had a little evil smile in his eyes.

"His uncle is here. Du Laohan also had to get up and greet at this time. The mother-in-law was gone in her early years, and now there is no woman in charge of this family, which is indeed a little deserted.

The mustache, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper, is Xiaoqi's uncle Zhang De, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law......"

Suddenly, his eyes moved, and he caught a glimpse of Xiaoqi sitting in the corner, and his eyes lit up: "Yo, the second girl is back." I haven't seen her all these years, this girl is so smart. All right. ”

Combined with the experience of his previous life, Ren Cangqiong roughly already has a context. It seems that the black hand behind Xiao Qi's redemption in his previous life was not Xiao Qi's father and brother, but the so-called uncle in front of him.

Looking at that Zhang De, looking at his niece's eyes, how can he look at his niece's appearance at all? It is clearly like seeing a perfect piece of goods and waiting to be sold at a price.

Zhang De is now a small steward in a noble family in Yunluo City, so he has a full sense of superiority over a poor relative like the Du family. There was no need for Du Laohan to greet him, he walked into the house by himself, and sat on the stool.

"Smack!"

The package in his hand was placed on the table, and he said in a tone that he thought was very noble: "Here are twenty-five taels of silver, and I have brought them all." Now that Xiaoqi is back, brother-in-law, you can take up your mind. Time is running out, and after this village, there will be no more shops. Spring ploughing waits for no one, does it?"

Du Qingniu snorted and stood up: "Uncle, we owe you money, and we will find a way to pay it back." But Xiaoqi is so young and sells it to people to fill the house, isn't this a bad thing?"

"Yet, Qingniu, what are you going to do with your family?" the young man with a thief's eyebrows and a rat-faced face snorted on the side.

This person is the cousin Zhang Jiu who sent a message to Xiaoqi earlier.

That Zhang De smiled faintly and said, "Brother-in-law, nephew." Otherwise, how can I say that you are country brains and don't know how to be flexible? Xiaoqi is now a maid for others, and sooner or later she will be a life. Now, I will redeem her body and resell it to the third young master of the Hou family, if this girl serves her well, maybe she can get the title of a concubine......"

"Even if you can't get a name, what if you fill the house? It's all filling the house, isn't it the same in any house? And you, not to mention the debt, can get another five taels of silver, buy a ploughing cow again, and this year's farming work is also settled, what have you lost?"

The green tendons on Du Qingniu's forehead protruded, and he slapped the table: "No, it's not good, uncle, if you want to sell my sister, it's not okay to say a thousand things and ten thousand." ”

That Zhang De seemed to know that this nephew was a tendon, so he didn't care, but continued to lobby Du Laohan: "Brother-in-law, think about it." The price is negotiable. You see, the green cow is also twenty-five or six. Some of the children are six or seven years old. Qingniu can't even talk about a daughter-in-law now. Otherwise, I will arrange Xiaoqi's affairs, and I, as an uncle, will be responsible for telling Qingniu a daughter-in-law. It's good to say, your old Du family must have a woman to pass on the incense, right?"

Ren Cangqiong secretly exclaimed, this Zhang De is really a steward of a noble family, and he can really speak well with a mouth, and every sentence hit Du Laohan's soft place.

No one wants to sell their daughter. What's more, it's a second time changing hands.

However, how to deal with this situation now? Don't the incense of the old Du family be inherited?

This is a big problem, a big problem outside of his ability to be a big problem. Thinking of this, the wrinkles on Du Laohan's forehead deepened.

Xiao Qi was young after all, and he had no idea for a while, but he said in his heart: "As long as Xiao Qi follows the young master, don't go elsewhere if you die." ”

Zhang De is very good at chasing after victory, and has already spread a contract on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you can see clearly, all the terms here are clearly written, as long as you press a fingerprint, this matter will be done." Our debts are written off. Here are five taels of silver, and you can take it. In addition, I will tell Qingniu another daughter-in-law. ”

Ren Cangqiong knew that if Du Laohan's handprint was pressed, it would take a lot of time to talk about it.

At that moment, he gently got up from the stool in the corner, walked to the side of the contract, and said with a smile: "I have heard about forcing people to sell their sons and daughters. But it's the first time I've heard of my uncle selling his niece. What a femme fatale does this have to be? Selling a girl who fills the house is a hundred taels. You sent people away for just twenty or thirty taels, and you are not afraid of hot hands with this black money in your hands?"

It's not that Zhang De didn't see Ren Cangqiong, but he saw that Ren Cangqiong was dressed in coarse linen and didn't take it seriously. Seeing him come out, he sneered: "Where did you come from, this little guy?

"Yunluo Hou's family?" Ren Cangqiong smiled slightly, "It seems that in Yunluo City, it's not very famous." Among the top ten families, is there a Hou family?"

Zhang De smiled, this little guy in Tsing Yi has such a big breath.

But behind this smile, there is a sinister aura.

"Brother-in-law, today is the deadline. The decision is yours, and after today, I won't be interested in telling you about it again. ”

Zhang De finally suppressed his anger and decided to deal with Du Laohan first. As long as the handprint on this contract is pressed, then slowly clean up this mouthy little guy.

Du Laohan's whole body trembled like chaff, and his dry eyes looked at the contract, and his eyes were already full of compromise.

Ren Cangqiong swept his sleeves, took the contract in his hand, and opened it with his five fingers, and the contract was directly torn to pieces.

"Alright, I'm done. Not sold. Now, where you came from, get out of here. ”

If it weren't for this Zhang De is Xiaoqi's maternal uncle, Ren Cangqiong would have slapped him directly out of the door. Thinking about the tragic experience of Xiaoqi in his previous life, Ren Cangqiong was already angry.

"You...... What are you?" Zhang Jiu behind Zhang De had already become popular. This selling Xiaoqi is related to his life's event.

The third young master of the Hou family personally promised that as long as he could sell Xiaoqi to him. The third young master of the Hou family will give him a maid to be his daughter-in-law.

Therefore, Zhang Jiu was very enthusiastic about this matter, and tried his best to hope that it would be promoted as soon as possible and send Xiaoqi to the third young master.

Ren Cangqiong didn't say a word, stepped forward directly, grabbed Zhang Jiu, threw him directly outside the door, turned his head and looked at Zhang De coldly: "Do you want me to give you a ride too?"

Zhang Deqi's eight-character beard couldn't help but upturn: "You...... You, you're so bold. ”

The two fathers and sons went out in embarrassment, and they both put down cruel words: "Boy, don't leave if you have the guts, you are dead." ”

Du Laohan saw Ren Cangqiong drive Zhang De's father and son away, and sat on the stool, demented, as if he was twenty years old in an instant, and his eyes were full of despair.

Ren Cangqiong sighed lightly: "Uncle Du, I know your thoughts. However, if you really sell Xiaoqi to someone to fill the house, can you be reliable in your life?"

Du Laohan shook his head in pain, obviously feeling that the day had fallen. Zhang De left angrily, and next time he came to the door, it would not be so easy to speak.

"In the final analysis, it's a matter of five taels of silver. ”

Du Laohan was very angry: "Five taels of silver, what you said is light." How many taels of silver do you get a year's salary?"

He saw that Ren Cangqiong was dressed as a long-term worker in green clothes, and only said that he was a long-term worker of the Ren family.

Ren Cangqiong was overwhelmed by this question. How much does he get a year's salary?

Seeing that the young master was embarrassed, Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "Dad, don't ask." ”

When Du Laohan saw Xiao Qi coming back, he only said that there was affection between this little guy and Xiao Qi, and he became even more suspicious: "Xiao Qi, what is your relationship with him?

Xiaoqi saw that the more his father said, the more outrageous it became, and his anxious little face turned red: "Dad, how can there be such a thing, don't talk nonsense." ”

"I talk nonsense, I ......"

When Du Laohan was excited, his whole body suddenly paused as if he had been electrocuted. Keep your eyes on the table. What is that glittering gold?

A big ingot of gold!

Ren Cangqiong looked at Xiao Qi with a wry smile, which obviously meant that, Xiao Qi, it's not that the young master wants to scare your family, but that your father scares me.

He thought about it, and felt that it was better to solve the current troubles in a thousand words, than this ingot of gold. At the moment, I don't care about being cheesy or not.

Seeing this big ingot of gold, Du Laohan was suddenly silent. looked at Ren Cangqiong dumbfounded, obviously directly stunned.
