Chapter 52: Borrowing Silver
"Hammer ......"
The kitchen knife fell in response, and Granny Qin's tense body finally relaxed, and she sat down on the ground all of a sudden.
Hearing Lu Qingcao coaxing the child, Granny Qin also quietly wiped two handfuls of tears and sobbed in a low voice.
Lu Tingting in her arms cried even more.
"Mother, they said they were going to arrest people to fight, will we be arrested?" Lu Erli didn't have the concept of arresting strong men, and when she saw officials arresting people everywhere, she was afraid that she would be arrested.
Lu Yihua also cried into tears, her sallow face was full of tears, and she threw herself into Lu Qingcao's arms and reprimanded: "Mother, they rushed in and looked for it and took away all the valuable ones." ”
The two were aggrieved and complained.
Lu Qingcao didn't panic, the silver was in her space, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, she couldn't find it.
All you can take away is worthless stuff.
She patted her daughter on the back and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, my mother will buy it for you in the future." ”
After calming down for a while, the two finally quieted down.
Standing in front of the house, I can vaguely see the entrance of the village, and the black and oppressive figures have not dispersed, obviously there is still trouble.
At the foot of the mountain, two figures vaguely walked up, and Lu Qingcao frowned.
After tidying up the overturned messy yard, the two also went to the mountain. Tian Xiao'e pushed open the courtyard door and there was a ghost crying wolf: "Qingcao, save Da Zhuang, he is going to be arrested!" ”
Su Xiaofang followed behind her, her face was the same anxious: "Second aunt, my father was caught by them, and he has to donate a tael of silver to redeem it, and you are the only one who can save him." ”
Lu Qingcao couldn't hold back her laughter.
The co-authors are here to ask for money.
"So?" Lu Qingcao leaned on the recliner and watched them act without changing his face.
Tian Xiao'e was still a little embarrassed to say, Su Xiaofang said directly: "We want to borrow one or two silver, and we will pay it back when we have money in the future." ”
Borrow, and if you have money in the future, you will pay it back, look how vague this is.
This is for fear that Lu Qingcao will ask them for money.
The two of them stood in the doorway, but their eyes kept looking into the room, as if they were looking for something.
"No money." Lu Qingcao spoke unceremoniously.
He got up and made a gesture of sending off the guest.
The silver can still make two splashes in the water, and it doesn't even make a fart if it is thrown to them.
Tian Xiao'e's face changed immediately, and she pointed at Lu Qingcao and scolded: "You have no conscience, if Da Zhuang is arrested and sent to the army, this family will be scattered, and I won't be done with you!" ”
She has always been cowardly, and she suddenly came to strength, and she looked a bit like Zhao Lotus.
Lu Qingcao snorted coldly: "What does your family's affairs have to do with me?" Can't afford to buy food and starve to death, and blame the store for selling expensive food? Tian Xiao'e, the Su family is not poor and can't open the pot, and they can't even take out a tael of silver? ”
Tian Xiao'e paused.
The family does have some savings, but it's all for the family treasure, if it all is taken out, what will happen to the family treasure in the future?!
Besides, if Lu Qingcao hadn't beaten Zhao Hehua and Su Eryou like that and spent a lot of medical expenses, she wouldn't have only that little savings!
"There is really no second aunt, if there is, we don't have to come to you with a bent face, you can do it." Su Xiaofang added oil and vinegar.
As she was talking, Granny Qin came out of the house with a bowl of millet, and the two immediately pounced on her like hungry wolves: "Aunt Qin, you save my family!" ”
"Grandma Qin, save my father!" Su Xiaofang was also crying hoarsely.
Where had Granny Qin seen this kind of battle, she was so frightened that her hands shook and she almost splashed the millet out.
She trembled and groped to help the two: "What's the matter?" ”
"My father was arrested by the officials, and he had to donate a tael of silver to ransom him." Su Xiaofang answered quickly, "My family really can't come up with silver, so ask the second aunt to lend us a tael of silver." ”
She cried terribly.
Granny Qin was also frightened, and said tremblingly: "We don't have any silver, the valuable things in the house have been looted, and this little millet is still hidden under the bed by me, so I escaped." ”
This answer was wonderful, and Lu Qingcao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Granny Qin replied as if she was stunned, choking Tian Xiao'e's mother and daughter.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Xiaofang knelt directly on the ground and hugged Granny Qin's legs, crying: "Grandma Qin, the second aunt has earned so much silver, you just let her borrow us a tael,"
Granny Qin's face was full of surprise, and she opened her mouth wide and said, "You ask her to borrow her money, I don't work at home and eat rice, how can I be qualified to speak." ”
Su Xiaofang: "......"
Lu Qingcao almost burst out laughing.
For the first time, she found out that this mother-in-law was so intimidating.
What's more, what she said was completely natural and reasonable, and she really ignored everything.
Su Xiaofang and Tian Xiao'e's faces were darker than the bottom of the pot, and they couldn't wait to plug Granny Qin's mouth.
Seeing that things didn't work out, the two began to say cruel words again: "If Da Zhuang is really arrested, I won't let you go!" ”
Tian Xiao'e dropped a sentence and left.
Lu Qingcao slowly shook the rocking chair twice, waved his hand and said, "When you die, remember to call us to eat, I will definitely follow the part." ”
Tian Xiao'e stumbled and almost didn't fall to her death.
——
At the foot of the mountain, dozens of men were roped together like cattle, and they were about to be escorted away.
Su Dazhuang's legs and stomach trembled, trembling and reluctant to leave, he begged: "Ladies and gentlemen, my family has gone to get the silver, and I will come back soon, can you wait a little longer......
Before he could finish speaking, a whip was directly drawn: "What are you talking about?!" Let's go! ”
The whip opened a blood-colored flower on his back, and Su Dazhuang stumbled in pain and fell to the ground.
He threw his head back desperately, looking in the direction of his home.
A won't run away with the silver!
He knew that women were unreliable!
Su Dazhuang cursed in his heart.
The team slowly walked towards the outside of the village, and just after taking two steps, Tian Xiao'e rushed to him, knelt down and begged: "Official, I, I'll redeem people!" ”
She gritted her teeth and took the silver out of her bosom, and it hurt as if she had cut meat.
This is really the old book at the bottom of the box, and it's gone if you use it!
Su Dazhuang saw the life-saving straw, and immediately rushed over and shouted, "She is here to redeem me!" I ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was whipped again.
Tian Xiao'e was distressed and was about to drip blood, so she hurriedly stuffed the silver into the hands of the official.
The nearest official weighed the silver twice, waved his hand at the team, and Su Dazhuang was thrown out.
His back was soaked in blood, his clothes were almost glued to his back, and he was almost unconscious.
Tian Xiao'e hurriedly hugged him and dragged him in the direction of home little by little.
Seeing the escort team go away, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
Su Dazhuang looked at her coldly: "Where did you get the silver?" Lu Qingcao borrowed it? ”
Tian Xiao'e stammered: "Yes, it's the silver in the stove, Lu Qingcao's slut refuses to borrow it, I really can't do it, so I ......."
Hearing this, Su Dazhuang's face was distorted, and he said angrily: "That's the last bit of family background, you ruined girl!" I ......"
He just wanted to stretch out his hand, but the wound on his back hurt violently, so he could only put down his hand again.
After Su Er was injured, half of the people of the Su family fell, and all the work was pressed on Tian Xiao'e.
