Chapter 5 Debt Collection
Hearing this, Tong Xiang's eyes flashed slightly, she picked this herb in the mountains, she only recognized that this herb had a hemostatic effect, and she didn't know that it had become a rare medicinal material here.
Fortunately, she kept an eye on it and left some of the resurrection grass in the space.
It would be great if you exchanged these herbs for some silver.
After pondering for a moment, Tong Xiang slowly spoke, "You want me to sell the herbs to you, you are so hospitable?" ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately beckoned the guy just now to take a seat to watch the tea, and Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao sat on the chair and took a sip of tea.
"Shopkeeper, you say how much money you are willing to pay?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and stretched out five fingers, "Fifty taels of silver!" What do you think, girl? ”
Hearing this, Tong Xiang almost choked on a sip of tea, "Fifty taels? ”
If she guessed correctly, fifty taels was already a sky-high price for ordinary people like them.
Because an ordinary family, the consumption of the whole year is only two ingots of silver.
Tong Xiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said indifferently, "Then fifty taels of silver, if there are medicinal materials in the future, I will take them to your pharmacy to sell." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded excitedly, and hurriedly called the guy to get the silver.
Tong Xiang looked at the fifty taels of silver in his arms and smiled.
This is the first money she earned in this world, which is of great significance, and it is also the first bucket of money for her to make a fortune.
Looking at Tong Xiang's crooked eyebrows and slightly flashing eyes, a smile flashed in Chu Xiao's dark eyes.
"Tong Xiang, you smile so beautifully."
Unconsciously, Chu Xiao couldn't help blurting out, and when he realized what he said, his ears burned.
"What did you say?"
Tong Xiang was still immersed in joy, obviously not hearing Xiao's words clearly.
"Nothing, I mean what do we need to buy now?"
Seeing that Tong Xiang didn't hear it, Chu Xiao's heart was both happy and lost for some reason, so he had to divert the topic.
"Didn't you say that, let's go have a meal first."
Just as he was about to walk to a tavern, Tong Xiang glanced at the cloth clothes on his body, and took Chu Xiao into a cloth village.
Tong Xiang changed into an embroidered skirt for himself, and bought a dress for Li and Tong Hua.
Before leaving, he couldn't help frowning when he saw that Chu Xiao was still wearing the black robe he was wearing before.
"You go pick out a piece of clothing, too."
The family had all changed into new clothes, and it was nothing to buy him an extra one, not to mention that she had also scavenged a bag of silver from him in the first place.
"Tong Xiang, I don't need any clothes......"
Chu Xiao originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Tong Xiang's expression, he had to pick a dark colored long shirt.
Tong Xiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he looked at the clothes he picked, this man seemed to like black clothes very much.
After changing into a new dress, Tong Xiang found that Chu Xiao was really handsome, masculine and handsome, even if the fabric of the clothes was not very good, but it looked really good on him.
Seeing Tong Xiang looking at him in a daze and not speaking, Chu Xiao thought it was not good-looking, "Isn't it good-looking?" Why don't I get another one? ”
Hearing Chu Xiao's words, Tong Xiang hooked his lips and smiled, "It's good-looking, you don't need to change it, this body is very suitable for you." ”
Dressed in black, Chu Xiao's tall and handsome figure was highlighted, even if it was the linen cloth, it couldn't hide the innate nobility on his body.
"Really?"
Hearing Tong Xiang's words, Chu Xiao looked stunned, and the roots of his ears turned even redder.
Tong Xiang took in Chu Xiao's expression, couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, turned around and walked out of Buzhuang.
After the two had eaten and drunk enough in the tavern, Tong Xiang asked them to make some dishes and bring them back for Li and Tong Hua to taste.
Tong Xiang bought some vegetable seeds, and some chicks returned with a full load in an ox cart.
Back in the village, it was already dark.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Tong Xiang was attracted by a quarrel.
"Tong Laosan, he owes 1,000 taels of gambling money in our gambling house, and he must pay us back today!"
In the courtyard, a rugged man with a scar dragged Tong Laosan and yelled at the Li family.
Li Shi protected Tong Hua in his arms, his eyes teary-eyed, "Are you mistaken, this big brother, how can my father-in-law owe you a thousand taels of silver!" ”
Tong Laosan was frightened, "Lady, you have to save me, I don't owe them a thousand taels, I only remember that I borrowed five hundred taels from them!" ”
"Five hundred taels! Tong Laosan! You ruined man, why did you borrow so much money from others? What do you want us to do to save you? ”
Lee's face was incredulous, and he trembled with anger.
As soon as the scar man heard that he had no money to pay back, he couldn't help but scold, "No money to pay back? Then nullify his hands and feet! ”
"What? Wife! You can't die without help! ”
When Tong Laosan heard this, he was almost scared to death.
Although Li hated Tong Laosan in his heart, he still relented and remembered the old feelings, pushed Tong Hua into the house, ran over and destroyed him in front of the scar man.
"Please, big brother, accept mercy, don't cut my husband!"
The scar man's eyes widened, and he was about to kick Li away, when he suddenly saw her face, and pulled Li by the collar.
"If you want me to let him go, it's okay to see that you are a little good-looking, you are always a little old, and you can still make money in the kiln!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch Li's face, but was hit by a sudden stone, and the blood flowed immediately.
"Who! Which king and eight lambs dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu? Look at Lao Tzu don't pick your skin! ”
The scar man bared his teeth in pain, glaring at the surroundings viciously, and some of the people around him who were watching the excitement retreated in fright.
"I hit it!"
Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao walked out of the crowd, and when they saw the scar man, Tong Xiang had a cold and calm face.
"Xiang'er! How did you get back? Come on! ”
Seeing Tong Xiang coming back, Li struggled and asked her to leave.
Seeing Tong Xiang, the scar man's eyes lit up, and he threw Li aside, "This is good, it's beautiful, the key is that it's still young, and it will definitely sell for a good price!" ”
Seeing this, Tong Laosan on the side immediately licked his face, "As long as you can let me go, I can sell them all to you!" ”
Tong Laosan excitedly pointed to Tong Xiang and Li.
Anyway, this Tong Xiang is not his child, and if he sells her, he can still pay off the debt, why not!
When Li heard Tong Laosan's words, he trembled with anger, "Tong Laosan, you are still not a human being, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs?" I was going to sell Xiang'er! ”
When Tong Laosan heard it, he went up and kicked Li, and kept cursing in his mouth.
"What's the matter, Lao Tzu has raised her for so many years, and now is the time for her to do her filial piety for me! It's her blessing to be able to sell it for me! ”
