Chapter 188: Nosy (4)
He didn't say ten taels directly, one is that his ox cart is not worth the price, and the other is that he can borrow a little bit of silver from the east and make up a little bit of it to complete it, so he doesn't have to pit others.
Ru Yi also understands that an ox cart ranges from about five taels to more than a dozen taels, and the old man is honest and honest, and he didn't make a random price, but she wanted to help him.
She took out ten taels of silver from her purse, handed it directly to the old man, and said, "Uncle, this is ten taels of silver, you don't need to look for one tael, you can pay off the debt quickly!" ”
"Girl, how embarrassing is this, since you said nine taels, how can you collect ten taels of silver, you can't ......" The old man didn't agree, but Xiang'er was anxious on the side, don't look at her only thirteen years old, she is very precocious, and she is scheming, it is rare to meet a kind-hearted person to save her today, how could she give up?
Xiang'er anxiously tugged at her father's shirt and told him not to continue.
Xiang'er is relatively young, her mind is not old enough, it is all written on her face, Ru Yi can see it clearly, and she can't help but sigh in her heart, it's just that, since you have already made a move, you should accumulate virtue and do good!
She collected her thoughts and said, "Uncle, you also saw the situation just now, if you don't pay the money today, your daughter will be sold into the Goolan Courtyard, do you want your daughter to enter the Fengyue place?" ”
Hearing this, the old man was full of tears, his face was full of helplessness, how could he hope that his daughter would be in the Fengyue place today? I don't want to, I don't want to...... He doesn't have that high-spirited festival, since someone is willing to give, then what is he pretentious? So, he accepted ten taels of silver and thanked: "Thank you, girl, Xiang'er, quick, let's kowtow to the girl." ”
Xiang'er was full of reluctance, but she still endured it, and kowtowed to Ruyi three times with the old man. But how could Ru Yi be willing to accept such a big gift? Hurriedly helped the two up.
The old man stood up, because he had been kneeling for a long time, his legs and feet were numb, and he couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately Xiang'er was on the side, otherwise he would definitely fall to the ground.
"Here, my son owes you ten taels of silver, and you can give me the IOU!" The old man said very kindly.
The man standing aside, that grievance, that anger! The woman didn't even look at him just now, and she was so kind to pay back the money the old man owed. Is there such a good thing in this world? He just didn't let others get his way, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth smiled evilly, don't you want to be wronged? Then I'll let you be enough!
He said: "Old man, I haven't finished my words just now, your son borrowed usury, do you know what usury is?" The money your son borrowed has passed the deadline, and the interest rate of twenty wen per day has increased, and now it is eleven taels, let me tell you, if I don't pay it back today, I will sell your daughter, hum, the IOU signed by your son is on me......"
He smiled unscrupulously and was extremely proud, only to see him raise his eyebrows, a look, and motioned for the two men around him to grab Xiang'er, and after a while, he heard Xiang'er's crying like a clear spirit.
The old man was stupid, he had no way at all, and he was also crying vigorously, he didn't pay attention, fell to the ground, patted the ground, and said with tears: "Are you trying to force me, an old man, to death?" Oh my daughter! My poor daughter, daddy is useless! ……”
