016 Forced debts
A few days later, in early August, Mi Xiaoxia finally returned to his hometown in Lin'an, Hangzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Mi family is in Lin'an County, and it was originally a large family, but after the decline, there was only a small courtyard left. Walking on the streets of the county seat, looking at the strange and familiar scenery around him, Mi Xiaoxia couldn't help but be a little excited.
"Go home!"
But what Mi Xiaoxia misses the most is Shen Xiniang, who is waiting for him at home.
Shen Xiniang is the adopted daughter-in-law of the Mi family, and she has watched Mi Xiaoxia grow up since she was a child, and Mi Xiaoxia's feelings for her are like a sister. But with their relationship, they will definitely get married in the future, so that this kind of sister and brother relationship will be mixed with the love of men and women.
It's morning, and there are many hawkers in the streets. Smelling the fragrance of all kinds of food, Mi Xiaoxia, who hadn't eaten breakfast yet, couldn't help but be a little hungry. Shen Xiniang shouldn't have eaten yet, and I'm afraid there is no surplus food at home.
Mi Xiaoxia took out the money, bought ten hot steamed buns that had just come out of the cage on the side of the road, and bought a roast goose, wrapped it in lotus leaves and put it on the horse, and went home.
Lin'an County is not big, and in less than half an hour, Mi Xiaoxia came to the door of a small courtyard, this is his home.
was about to see Shen Xiniang, Mi Xiaoxia couldn't help but be a little excited, tidied up his clothes, and then led the horse in.
"Xi Niang, you have a big face, the entire Lin'an County, you go and inquire, who dares to owe our master the money and not pay it back!"
"Steward Liu, it's not that I don't pay it back, it's just ...... I obviously borrowed one hundred and twenty yuan at the beginning, but now it has become one tael of silver and thirty-six yuan. ”
"Don't you know that donkeys are rolling and rolling profits? If you drag on for so long, of course the interest will be more, if you don't believe it, I'll show you. ”
"No, I can't understand even if you count me, can you give me a few more days, how can I have so much money in my hand. ”
"Hehe, Xi Niang, why bother, I haven't come to your house once or twice. As long as you agree to be a concubine for our master, not only will the accounts be wiped out, but you will be the thirteenth lady of our Zhao family in the future, and when the time comes, it will not be better than you to suffer here?"
"Steward Liu! You don't need to mention this matter again, I am the daughter-in-law of the Mi family, how can I go to the Zhao family again! When my little man comes back, I will pay you back when he earns money!"
"Your little man, hmph, you didn't listen to Qian Laoben and them, they met robbers when they came back, Mi Xiaoxia ran slowly and was killed by robbers, you can't wait for him to come back!"
"You're talking nonsense! Xiaoxia will definitely come back!"
......
As soon as Mi Xiaoxia entered the door, he heard someone arguing in the yard, and looked around the back wall of the shadow, and then frowned.
I saw a middle-aged man with a goatee, leading two strong men dressed as servants, arguing around Shen Xiniang.
"Where did you come from, you are arguing at my house!"
Mi Xiaoxia's face was cold, and then he shouted.
Hearing someone shouting, everyone who was arguing just now turned their heads one after another. suddenly saw that it was Mi Xiaoxia, and the next moment they were all stunned, with a look of disbelief.
“...... Hero!"
After a while, Shen Xiniang reacted first, shouted and rushed over, grabbed Mi Xiaoxia's hand, and looked up and down.
"Little Hero...... You're finally back. ”
It is indeed Mi Xiaoxia, there is no lack of meat and no scratches of skin, Shen Xiniang's eyes are full of tears, and she can't help crying.
"Xi Niang, you have lost weight. ”
Mi Xiaoxia reached out to help Shen Xiniang wipe away her tears, and then touched her face, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
Although Shen Xiniang is not a country and a city, she is also very good-looking, and she is famous in Linjiang County. But now, her jawbones are almost all visible, and she is so thin that she can't look good.
"Rice...... You ...... How did you come back......"
At this time, the goateeed Liu steward looked at Mi Xiaoxia with a hellish look on his face, and said tremblingly.
"This is my home, why can't I come back. ”
Mi Xiaoxia pulled Shen Xiniang behind him and looked at Manager Liu with interest.
"You...... Aren't you dead!"
Steward Liu gradually calmed down, making sure that what he saw was a person and not a ghost, and his face was full of doubts.
"Oh, how did you know I was dead?"
Mi Xiaoxia smiled, as if asking casually.
"This ...... This is what Qian Laoben said, they came back, but you didn't come back. They say you met a robber on the way, and you were killed by the robber if you ran slowly!"
Steward Liu settled down, and his speech gradually became sharper.
"Qian Laoben, Zhao Quan, Li Dazhu, I'll take the time to catch up with them again!"
Mi Xiaoxia sneered at the corner of his mouth, and then turned to Steward Liu.
"Outsiders are not welcome in my house, you can leave. ”
"Leave?"
Steward Liu straightened the hat on his head, took out a thick account book from his arms, pointed to one of the pages and said contemptuously to Mi Xiaoxia.
"See clearly, Shen Xiniang owes our master one or two hundred and thirty-six dollars! If you don't pay it back today...... Hmph!"
Even if Mi Xiaoxia comes back, what can he do, can he afford to pay back more than one or two pieces of silver?
A poor and sour talent, notoriously weak and incompetent, he used to rely on women to support him. Steward Liu's face was arrogant, and his heart said that Mi Xiaoxia might be right to come back.
Shen Xiniang was too tough, and she didn't agree to be a concubine for Master Zhao. But if he persecuted Mi Xiaoxia, he would definitely not be able to hold it with his weak temperament, and he might sell Shen Xiniang.
At that time, what choice does Shen Xiniang have!
"One or two more, that's probably enough. ”
At this moment, Mi Xiaoxia suddenly spoke, and then took out something from his arms and threw it over.
Steward Liu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously caught it, and then looked down and couldn't help but widen his eyes instantly, this turned out to be a piece of silver with a very pure texture! With his many years of experience in managing accounts, he knew that there were one or two or eight cents, and it was more than enough to repay the debt!
"You...... You ......"
Steward Liu looked at Mi Xiaoxia dumbfounded, where did this poor sour get so much silver!
"I'm in a good mood today, I don't want to kill!"
Mi Xiaoxia's eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes were suddenly cold.
"You...... You wait!"
Steward Liu was startled, there was still the poor sour in front of him, and his eyes were more terrible than the executioner at the entrance of the vegetable market.
With two strong servants, he hurriedly left, but at the same time he was bitter in his heart. He didn't come to collect cash this time, but to force Shen Xiniang to marry into the Zhao family. Now that things haven't been done, how can he explain when he goes back?
"Xiaoxia, you...... Where did you get all this money?"
After Steward Liu left, Shen Xiniang looked at Mi Xiaoxia with a look of surprise. With a touch of worry on his face, he was afraid that Mi Xiaoxia had done something bad outside.
"Hehe, I worked outside for half a year, so I can always earn some money. ”
Mi Xiaoxia smiled and touched Shen Xiniang's cheek.
It was the first time she was touched by Mi Xiaoxia like this, Shen Xiniang couldn't help blushing and lowered her head embarrassedly.
"Speaking slowly, I bought roast goose and steamed buns on the street, let's eat first. ”
Mi Xiaoxia smiled again and took the package off the horse.
"Roast Goose ......"
Shen Xiniang's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Since the decline of the Mi family, she has not eaten it again.
Looking at Shen Xiniang's cute appearance, Mi Xiaoxia smiled and shook his head. This girl only saw a few pennies of roast goose and steamed buns, but she didn't see the steed next to her more than ten taels of silver.
