Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Golden Shop Meets the Tao Clan (2)
As soon as he heard that he was going to confront the government, Tao was even more nervous, and snatched the hairpin from the shopkeeper's hand: "We won't sell it." Let's go. ”
Seeing that they were about to leave, Jiang Ye on the side said coldly: "Chang Ning, stop them." ”
Chang Ning, who was guarding the carriage outside the door, heard his son-in-law's order and immediately jumped out of the carriage and blocked the door of the gold shop.
Boss Tao wanted to be ready to push him away, but Chang Ning directly gave him a kick, "If you want to steal something, you want to run, come with us to the official mansion." ”
The eldest daughter-in-law saw that her man was kicked away, so she hurriedly went over and helped him up, and then yelled at Chang Ning angrily: "Who said that we stole something, this thing is ours." ”
Speaking of this, she changed her tone and looked at Tao Qi Niang again: "Oh, I understand, this woman sees this thing as expensive, so she wants to blackmail us." Shame on you. ”
Jiang Ye looked at the eldest daughter-in-law, and said expressionlessly: "If it's not true, just go to the prefect to figure it out, if this thing is yours, then it doesn't hurt for us to apologize, make amends, and even pay for it." ”
After speaking, Tao Laosi, who had not spoken on the side, looked at Jiang Ye, who was speaking for Tao Qi Niang, and asked with a questioning face: "Where did you come from?" ”
Before Jiang Ye could answer his question, Tao Laosi looked at Tao Qiniang again and asked, "What about Qiqi?" ”
As soon as Tao Laosi asked, the eldest daughter-in-law immediately changed the topic: "What a slut who doesn't know how to check, it's only been how long he has left our Tao family, and the men around him don't know how many have changed." Qiqi is afraid that he was sold by this slut a long time ago. How else can you buy jewelry with silver? ”
"You didn't care about Qiqi's life and death before, and now it has nothing to do with you. The hairpin is mine, and you still haven't returned it? If I don't, I'll go to the prefect. Fortunately, Tao Qiniang was not stupid, and did not let them lead the nose and change the topic.
The Tao family on the side had already said this, and after calming down just now, he was now back to his previous tricky and meanness: "What kind of prefect are you looking for, even if this hairpin is yours, what if I take it?" Our Tao family saved your life more than ten years ago, took you in, and raised you for more than ten years. You're good to pat your ass and leave, what a white-eyed wolf. Now this hairpin is regarded as your return to us. ”
"It's like, even if you have a dog, it's better than you." The eldest daughter-in-law chimed in.
Taoshi: "Could it be that the grace of saving lives and the kindness of more than ten years can't compare to your hairpin?" ”
Listening to Tao's words to the eldest daughter-in-law, Tao Qiniang didn't know how to answer them for a while.
Indeed, it was their Tao family who saved her and took her in for more than ten years, although she was a daughter-in-law for their son for more than ten years, but otherwise she didn't know if she would be alive or dead now? Then it is understandable that they want to go away with this hairpin.
Seeing that Tao Qi Niang was frightened by herself, Tao raised the corners of her mouth proudly.
Jiang Ye on the side listened to their conversation and almost understood a thing or two, so he said, "In this case, didn't you want to sell this hairpin just now?" Fifty taels, we bought. ”
When Tao heard fifty taels, his heart was excited, and he was about to agree, but the eldest daughter-in-law on the side hurried over to stop him when she saw this, and then whispered in Tao's ear: "Mother, fifty taels is less, since they can compromise so quickly, plus if this Tao Qi Niang wants to repay the kindness of our Tao family, then she can't sell the hairpin to her so cheaply." ”
When Tao heard this, he looked at his eldest daughter-in-law and asked in a low voice, "Then how much do you say is appropriate?" ”
The eldest daughter-in-law looked at Tao Qi Niang and then at Jiang Ye and Mrs. Jiang beside her, and after thinking about it, she gestured a finger.
Tao received the advice of the eldest daughter-in-law, so he looked at Jiang Ye and said: "Fifty taels is too little, let's not talk about the Tao family's kindness to Tao Qi Niang, we won't sell this hairpin if it is less than one hundred taels." ”
"One hundred taels!! Are you robbing money? Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but be surprised. This golden hairpin doesn't matter if you go to the pawnshop or go to the gold shop to sell it, it would be good to sell it for thirty taels if you want one hundred taels, then you can sell it to the owner of the gold shop. ”
When the Tao family heard that they refused directly, he looked at his eldest daughter-in-law with dissatisfaction, and he had to lose the fifty taels instead of earning.
When the eldest daughter-in-law saw that they had refused, her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her proposal, her eyes rolled, and she decided to gamble again, so she replied: "Then we won't sell it, don't you want to get this golden hairpin back?" Unless you buy it back from us yourself. ”
When Tao heard this, he thought it was a good idea, so he nodded approvingly: "That's right, we won't sell it." Let's go. ”
"Wait!!" Tao Qi Niang saw that they were leaving, so she hurriedly stopped.
"One hundred taels, I bought back this hairpin, all of which should be to repay your Tao family's life-saving grace. As for the kindness of more than ten years, I don't think I need to repay it. Let's not mention that in the past ten years in your peach family, I have been getting up early every day and being greedy for darkness, being a cow and a horse, serving your peach family, even if there is no credit, there is hard work.
When your peach family rescued me, I had more than this golden hairpin on me. If I'm not mistaken, there should also be a jade bracelet, a pair of earrings, and a tasseled hosta, all of which add up to a lot of silver. I don't want you to return those things to me, I also bought this hairpin for a hundred taels, but from now on, the grace of saving lives, the grace of taking in, all the kindness is clear, and I am completely clear with your peach family. ”
She could recall some vague memories through this hairpin just now, and in her memory this hairpin was specific and important to her, and she had to take it back.
After listening to Tao Qi Niang's words, Tao replied a little nervously: "I don't know what you're talking about, what jade bracelet, what earrings, what tassel hosta, we haven't seen it before, we only saw this one thing when we rescued you." ”
"Where did the earrings that the sixth brother gave to Miss Chai come from? And the matter of the sixth brother, where did the money come from? Over the years, the sixth brother has gone to a private school and done some favors, so don't you want silver? What are the conditions of the Tao family, where can they withstand him tossing so much outside? Do you know those things in your heart, since I am no longer pursuing, it should be to repay the life-saving grace of your Tao family, and it will be considered two clears in the future. ”
After Tao Qi Niang finished speaking, she didn't wait for Tao to say anything, turned around and whispered to Jiang Ye: "Jiang Gongzi, can you trouble your people to help me go back and take down the silver?" But don't let Qiqi know about meeting these people. ”
She doesn't want Qiqi to have anything to do with these people anymore, and she can solve her own affairs.
If they know that Qiqi can make money, and then use it to threaten them, then they will not be able to get rid of this group of bloodsuckers in their lives.
Jiang Ye nodded, then summoned Chang Ning and told Chang Ning to go back to the courtyard to get the silver.
