The moment the official sent in the door, the cold in Erlang's eyes instantly converged.

And everyone in the gambling house looks like a dog.

They're clearly in this group!

Stabilizing her mind, Chen Xiaonian stepped forward, she looked unhurried, frank, and told the people in the gambling house about the loan shark before they spoke.

"It's not that my family doesn't pay back the money, it's just that the interest is too much, and my family can't get it out for a while. I took ten taels today, and told them to pay back the rest slowly. We talked about it well, but people didn't want to, so many people surrounded us, verbally threatening ......"

She moved behind Erlang to hide, and poked out a little brain in horror.

The gambling house owner glared, pointed at her and scolded: "Why are you ...... woman?"

"Official, we are all poor people, we dare not be unreasonable, just said that we want to report to the official, but also thinking about the peace of the people of Daqi, the official is for the public and the people, and there will be no favoritism. Isn't it, sir? ”

Jiro was a little surprised.

Since he arrived in Heshan Village, Chen Xiaonian, whom he knew, compared all the shrews in the village, and he can be regarded as a tyrant in the village. is worried that she will have a conflict with people when she arrives at the gambling house, and a thin woman will not have to suffer?

Unexpectedly, what she said was wonderful!

On the other hand, everyone in the gambling house only stared at Chen Xiaonian's reversal of black and white, and they didn't understand the meaning of her words at all.

In the end, it was a public meal, but several officials understood.

I took the IOU and looked at it, and asked if the people had really received ten taels of silver. The owner of the gambling house still wants to repay the debt, but Chen Xiaonian's crying pear blossom with rain is pitiful, and the official asks again with a cold face, and the owner can only tell the truth.

"Since you have received the money, I will give it to the person."

The official's words made everyone in the gambling house dissatisfied.

"But it is true that your family owes money, and your family has been in arrears for too long, and it is only natural that you owe money to repay the debt. In this way, I will make the decision, and you will pay off the money within ten days, so that there will be no interest in the future, and your life will be easier. ”

Chen Xiaonian was dumbfounded.

Ten days?

One hundred and twenty-six twenty-seven dollars?

The head of the gambling house was unhappy, "Rich man, she can't repay the interest for these ten days." The IOU is written in black and white, and the account cannot be relied upon. ”

The official who was called the rich man nodded, "This is natural, you come according to your rules." ”

That's it, and asked Chen Xiaonian rhetorically, "Little lady, you have nothing to say, right?" ”

Chen Xiaonian smiled harmlessly, "The official is so good, he can rob it openly, but he still gave me ten days." ”

Jiro's eyes were filled with sarcasm, and the corners of his lips seemed to turn upward.

The rich man didn't react at first, he only knew that he was praised, and then he reacted, using the posture of an official to try to deter, "What did you just say?" ”

She also chased and asked, "What did the official say?" ”

Those smart eyes are clear and innocent, the voice is soft and good, and the face is delicate and lovely.

Such a likable little lady, I'm afraid I heard what I heard wrong just now......

The rich man urged the people in the gambling house to write a receipt, and then handed it to Chen Xiaonian after it was ready. "Ten days, let's raise money quickly."

Seeing that Erlang had been silent, the rich man sneered in front of him, "Little lady, this man in your family can't be relied on, he won't help you say a word, it's better to ......"

didn't say the whole thing, but it made everyone in the gambling house laugh.

Chen Xiaonian glanced at Erlang sideways, he looked honest, looking silly and easy to bully.

In such a reality, ordinary people can't fight with officials. She lowered her head, took the receipt, and shouted that Erlang was gone.

She was like this all the way, with her head down and silent.

Jiro followed behind her, trying to stop her several times, but he didn't know what to say.

Seeing the sad appearance of the little daughter-in-law, Erlang felt uncomfortable.

The Wang family obediently closed the door, and Chen Xiaonian shouted two or three times in front of the house before she dared to come out and open the door. Seeing Wang, Chen Xiaonian had a smile on his face and a relaxed tone.

"Mother, it's done, they won't come again in the future."

Erlang frowned, feeling more and more sorry for her.

The big stone in Wang's heart fell to the ground. "Really? That's good, that's good. ”

Saying that, Wang looked at Erlang with relief, "Thanks to the son-in-law, right?" Come on in, the meal is ready. ”

Jiro didn't speak, and he honestly couldn't see any superfluous emotions.

Chen Xiaonian didn't speak again, he didn't even wash his hands, he had already sat down and ate first.

Wang called Erlang to sit down to eat, and scolded her with a smile: "Why don't you wait for your uncle." Uncle, I'm hungry, let's eat. ”

The stone in Wang's heart fell to the ground, and his appetite was great. But after this meal, Chen Xiaonian and Erlang stopped chopsticks without eating a few bites.

Erlang thought that Chen Xiaonian would lose her temper at herself, but she didn't expect her to shut up and talk about the gambling house, but just went out alone and stood in her own field for a while, and finally stared at the two big willow trees for a while, and finally came back by moonlight.

Chen Xiangwen just returned to the village at this time, and when he saw her go out, he had already sneakily followed her all the way.

When she went home, Chen Xiangwen also ran home.

"Mother, I inquired."

Fang grabbed him and asked, "How is it?" ”

Even his nest father, Chen Zhitang, was also eavesdropping with his ears pricked up.

"It's back, it's a full ten taels!"

Fang Shi was surprised, "Where did her family get so much silver?" Two days ago, I saw her house every day to buy new things, and now I can earn ten taels a day? ”

Chen Xiangwen gritted his teeth, "I'm afraid I didn't do something unseemly!" Just now I followed Chen Xiaonian all the way and saw her mysterious ...... Mother, she definitely has a problem! ”

"What kind of witchcraft and evil magic can be said again, do you want to lose your head?"

Fang wanted to cover his mouth, but Chen Xiangwen avoided him.

"I didn't say that. Her family went to town early in the morning and came back in the early afternoon. I'll go with me tomorrow, and I'll see how her family earns this money! ”

Tossing and turning for half a night, Chen Xiaonian couldn't bear it and fell asleep. She didn't know that Erlang got up quietly after she fell asleep, went out of the house, and went out of Heshan Village.

The next day, Chen Xiaonian woke up early in the morning and woke up with no one around. Hearing movement in the yard, Chen Xiaonian picked up the broom in the corner and rushed out, only then did he see that it was Erlang who had returned.

He was carrying two hares in his hands, and when he saw her get up, Erlang snorted, showed a mouthful of neat white teeth, and lifted the two hares at her.

The resentment in Chen Xiaonian's heart disappeared all of a sudden.

Her eyes heated, "What a fool." ”

She went to the field yesterday to see that the willow buds of the two big willow trees had basically been plucked, and she could no longer make willow bud tea, the crops had not yet grown, and some small vegetables were only enough for her own food, and she could not sell them for silver.

Just by selling fish, ten days can not save enough more than 130 taels of silver.
