As soon as he heard that there was a door, Su Qiang immediately smiled and said: "Your advantage is that the teahouse has half of you, and you are the proprietress behind the scenes, how about it?" ”

The proprietress behind the scenes, phew!

Tao Niang is not a fool, on the contrary, she has a lot of eyes.

After thinking about it, she said, "I have a way to get the silver, but the deed can write your name, but it must be handed over to me for safekeeping." If you agree with me, I'll try to get money, and if you don't, I won't take the risk. ”

For the sake of her daughter and her future path, Tao Niang is also ready to go out.

However, Su Qiang's face stiffened after hearing this.

Under the coercion of Tao Niang's uncompromising eyes, Su Qiang could only nod and agree. Immediately kissed Tao Niang's cheek affectionately: "My people are all yours, and my things are naturally yours." ”

Tao Niang grinned, but she didn't believe Su Qiang's nonsense in her heart.

After a while, Su Qiang asked again: "That shop costs at least one hundred and fifty taels of silver, where did you get so much?" ”

Tao Niang stretched out her finger and poked Su Qiang's forehead: "How can I have silver?" On weekdays, the ideas from your second uncle and you are not enough to buy rouge gouache. ”

"However, your second uncle has it." After glaring at Su Qiang, she smiled a little proudly: "Over the years, do you think he has only relied on the teahouse to make money?" How much can you earn by drinking tea in a teahouse and listening to storytellers? Let me tell you, he gave the money he earned to the Chan family to buy and sell at the underground loan sharks, and I know where he hid the money. ”

Su Qiang's heart was shocked, he was busy in the shop every day, but he could only collect some copper plates from under the nose of the second uncle, and the second uncle actually made a lot of money, but he hid it and didn't tell his grandmother.

He gritted his teeth, some of them were aggrieved for their father, they took care of the fields at home, served their grandmother, but were penniless, and the second uncle not only married a concubine, but also had an old mother at home to serve.

At this time, Su Qiang did not have any psychological obstacles to the matter of prying the teahouse.

It's just that he looked back at the peach girl who was dressing, and his eyes flashed. This woman will be a scourge sooner or later, and when the silver shop is in hand, she can't say that she wants to think about it.

That night, Tao Niang used all her resources to exhaust Su Lao Er, and soon slept like a dead pig, snoring and almost toppling the roof.

It wasn't until the time of the child that the Su family fell into a deep sleep, and Tao Niang put on her coat and quietly went out of the house.

She quietly went to the backyard like a ghost, looked around and entered the firewood room, there is a stone slab in the innermost part of the firewood room, Tao Niang does small farm work, the strength is not small, although the effort also moved away the slate, inside is a box, in addition to twenty or thirty silver ingots, it is a silver ticket.

Tao Niang did not touch the silver, but took out the silver ticket, and restored the slate as it was, and then went out of the firewood room, and saw clearly that it was two hundred taels of silver ticket in her hand by the not very bright moonlight, and Tao Niang's heart beat violently.

She had the urge to take the money and run away immediately, but the next moment she stopped thinking about it, her daughter was still in the house, she ran away by herself, and her daughter was going to suffer.

Tao Niang scolded a dirty word in a low voice, and she didn't know who to scold, maybe everyone in this family should be scolded.

When passing through the hall, Tao Niang paused, took out fifty taels from the silver ticket and stuffed it into the gap between the door of the Huang family, and then hid the rest of the statue of the God of Wealth in the hall, and then went back to sleep in the dark.

As soon as she got into bed, Su Lao Er was awakened by the cold peach girl, and asked her where she went in a daze?

Tao Niang stretched out her hand to put her arms around Su Laoer's waist and coquettishly: "I went to the thatched house, it was dark outside, and I was scared to death." ”

The next day, at the Su family's dinner table, everyone looked different, Su Lao Er seemed to be a little anxious, and hurriedly went out after eating something. Before leaving, he told Su Qiang to take a good look at the teahouse, and he had something to go out today.

As soon as he left, Huang changed his previous habit of playing prestige and scolding Su Qiang and Tao Niang, and also put down the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the house.

Su Xiaomiao was also called away by the Huang family, leaving only Tao Niang and Su Qiang at the dinner table.

Seeing that there was no one, Tao Niang threw the silver ticket hidden in her chest on the table, Su Qiang stuffed the silver ticket into her cuffs with lightning speed, and the joy on her face couldn't be hidden, so she only whispered: "Baby, wait for me to give you a good life!" ”

Su Qiang left in a hurry, and the Huang family in the house secretly showed Su Xiaomiao a fifty taels of silver tickets, Su Xiaomiao was startled: "Mother, where did you get so many ......?"

"Be quiet, don't be heard." Huang hurriedly covered his daughter's mouth and said in a low voice.

Su Xiaomiao nodded, Huang let go of his hand, and whispered, "What I saw at the door in the morning must have been dropped by your father last night." Don't keep quiet, if he asks, we'll say we don't know. I'll hide this money, and I'll make it for you when you get married. ”

Su Xiaomiao was moved, hugged her mother and thanked her repeatedly.

Su Qiang went to the teahouse for a walk, then borrowed and bought the teahouse, and went straight to the Qin family.

Qin Xun sat in the courtyard drinking tea, and what Su Qiang saw when he came in was a picturesque scenery.

"May I be seated, but the money is ready?" Today's Qin Coriander is wearing a blue mountain-colored shirt, but there is a bit of spring.

Su Qiang had no thoughts of Qin Coriander at all today, and said with some embarrassment: "Alas, there is really no way, I only prepared eighty taels, cousin, look, can I give you the remaining silver in batches in the future." ”

Qin Xun raised her head and looked at him quietly for a long time, thinking that she would definitely be unwilling, but who knows, the next moment Qin Xun actually nodded and agreed.

"The deed can be given to you today, but you'll have to write an IOU." Qin Xun shouted to Lian'er to get pen and ink and write in the courtyard.

Su Qiang can barely write and count, but it is not difficult.

However, when writing the IOU, Qin Xun said again: "However, since you owe money, there should be interest, and please write an extra twenty taels of silver." Otherwise, I will sell it to the county man, and the price is higher than that given by my cousin. ”

Su Qiang regretted his cleverness a little, and only thought that he didn't give Qin Xun so much silver, and he could not only use the excuse to come and go a few more times, but also drag it out.

In the end, Su Qiang could only write a note of ninety taels in arrears.

After Su Qiang left, Su Shi came over and sat down, sighed and said: "Su Qiang has less to do with us, but he is not a good person, I am afraid that your IOU will be in vain, where will he give you the silver for nothing?" ”

Qin Coriander can make IOUs, so he naturally has a back-up move. It's just that she didn't expect Su Shi to say this, but she was a little surprised: "Mother doesn't talk to them?" ”

Su Shi glared at his daughter: "When did I speak to them, I wasn't afraid that you would have no way out in the future?" Now that my uncle is good to you, and you have successfully entered the Xiao family tree, a big stone in my heart has fallen to the ground, what am I afraid of? ”

"Mother, you can take a good break when you go to live in Shuiyue Nunnery this time, don't worry about me. However, the daughter has something to trouble her mother. ”

In addition to being able to make clothes, shoes and socks for her daughter, Su Shi could hardly help her, and after listening to her daughter's words, she suddenly became serious.

"Mother and Aunt Sang are looking for a second courtyard near the county school, it is best to bring a small cross-courtyard, and it is better to have a cellar. Both rental and sale can be considered. Remembering the incident about the flood again, he hurriedly added: "The terrain is better higher, and it is better to stay away from the Qijiang River." ”

"You're moving to the county?" The corners of Su's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

"Well, it's not just me, my mother and Aunt Sang are all going with me."

Su Shi smiled: "How can there be a reason to live with your daughter and son-in-law? ”

"Mother is just my daughter, who else can I follow if I don't follow?" Qin Xun didn't say much about her next plans, in addition to selling the shop, even this house was also going to be sold, leaving Qin Xiongfei a little bit.

Inevitably, the night is long and dreamy, even if Lu Da's subordinates are invited to escort Su and Aunt Sang to the county seat in a carriage, and let them help look at the house, they also want to find something to do for the Su family, otherwise if she comes back and meets Qin Xiongfei, things may not be easy to do.

Before leaving, Qin Xun told Aunt Sang behind Su's back that as long as she didn't pick them up, Aunt Sang would drag Su and not let her come back.
