Fragrance Returned

When they heard that they were going to live in a few abandoned shabby houses at the end of the village, Zhang and her children looked sad again.

Ding Zhao comforted him and said, Dad can do carpentry, I can treat carbuncle, and Li Chunniang can do intrauterine surgery, so life can go on.

At night, Ding Xiang hugged Ding Zhuang and never let go, and Ding Zhuang took her to sleep on the big kang.

When Ding Xiang hugged Ding Zhuang, she made a new discovery: there was a hard object on his chest. Through the starlight that came in, I could see that there was a small square stitched on the chest of his shirt, and the stitching was crooked.

Ding Xiang knew clearly that there should be a small bag containing the jade pendant she had seen before.

Perhaps Ding Zhuang was in a relaxed mood. He didn't sleep all night yesterday and fell asleep quickly, snoring heartily.

Lilac reached out and touched it, and it turned out to be a jade pendant.

The next day, Ding Zhao took the jewelry to the county seat.

Ding Xiang grabbed him and told him that the colorful bracelet with pearls must be sold for more than thirty taels of silver, and the other one must be sold for more than ten taels of silver. Because what they sell is not only beautiful colored ropes, but also a novel weaving method and a different name.

Shopkeeper Gong of Jiusi Embroidery Shop is a nice person and will not maliciously lower the price. She bought the idea of ​​colorful bracelets and started weaving more of them. Not only would she be able to make money, but the reputation of Jiu Si Embroidery Workshop would also be even greater.

Ding Shuniang came at noon, her eyes were red and she had lost weight.

She pulled on Ding Zhuang's sleeves and cried until her heart broke. She was worried about Ding Chi and felt sorry for her second brother and sister-in-law.

It's all my fault. He was spoiled. When he was naughty when he was a kid, my boss got so angry that he wanted to beat him. I even quarreled with him. He said he was from my Ding family and he had no right to beat him. If I had known better, I should have taught Liangzi the same lesson. That way, if you make a mistake, you'll be whipped with wattle sticks, and Chi Zi won't be so courageous...

Ding Zhuang said, It's none of my sister's fault that the son doesn't teach his father well. It's my fault that An'an didn't teach that rebellious son well.

Ding Shuniang gave Ding Zhuang thirty taels of silver, one gold hairpin, three silver hairpins, and a pair of silver bracelets. This is my private house and jewelry...

Ding Zhuang accepted thirty taels of silver and returned the jewelry to her.

Brother is ashamed, so I'll accept the money. I've almost collected the money, lady, don't worry.

Ding Shuniang was relieved when she heard that Ding Zhuang's money was almost raised.

She hurried home after lunch.

Mrs. Zhang started to pack her things, and Ding Xiang packed the pair of small shoes and a few clothes into a small baggage and would take it with her wherever she went.

Ding Zhao came home at the end of the day. Although his face was not good, it was not as serious as when he left.

He took out a pile of silver ingots and broken silver, Not bad, sold for seventy-six taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Gong liked the two colorful bracelets very much and did not lower the price. The seven-star colorful bracelet was sold for thirty-one taels of silver, and the Diefei colorful bracelet was sold for ten taels.

Even Ding Zhao didn't expect that the price of a braided thread would be more expensive than a heavy silver bracelet.

Including the thirty taels of silver given by Ding Shuniang, the total is one hundred and sixty taels.

Calculated in this way, as long as the shop, fields, yards and other things are valued fairly, the debt can all be paid off, and maybe there will be a few taels left.

When Jiaozipu collects fixed assets, it will bring a special person to evaluate them, and the discrepancy will not be huge.

Ding Zhao looked at Ding Xiang with admiration and asked, How could Xiang Xiang make such a beautiful knot and choose such a nice name?

Dingxiang Nuonuo replied, When I saw my mother getting a bandage, I thought there might be a better-looking style. I thought and thought, and I came up with it.

Ding Zhuang looked at Ding Xiang with a more solemn look, Xiang Xiang is a smart child. If we had thought more about her and separated that beast into another life, the debt would not have overwhelmed this family... It's my fault.

Ding Zhao said, It's not all my fault, it's my fault as well. I thought Xiangxiang was a child and didn't listen to her words. If we split up, Jiaozipu might not dare to lend Chizi so much money, and Chizi wouldn't leave. Come this far.”

Ding Xiang is still happy when her family no longer regards her as an ignorant child. She is three years old and can do many things. She will lead the family to build a beautiful new home.

The family has so much money and is afraid of accidents.

At night, Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, and Ding Lichun hardly slept, and took Heizi for a walk in the yard every once in a while.

Dingshan didn't sleep either. Occasionally he would lie on the wall of his house and watch what was going on in the village. If you find anything suspicious, scream out.

Mrs. Zhang took Ding Xiang and Ding Liren to lie down together in their clothes to face emergencies.

Finally made it to daybreak.

After eating, Ding Lichun took Heizi to the backyard and tied him up, fearing that he would bite strangers and be beaten to death.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao were sitting in the main room waiting for others, while Mrs. Zhang was in the east chamber with Ding Liren and Ding Xiang.

Ding Zhao also asked them to lock the door and not come out no matter what happened.

Ding Xiang didn't want to, so she ran out with her calves, and was carried back to the east chamber by Mrs. Zhang.

Soon, the second ancestors of Dingshan and Nanquan Village, Tang Shuan, and Uncle Shan Zi came, and Ding Youcai actually came too.

He said, Second uncle, Zhaozi, my family has no money, but we can make up for it by fighting.

They are the head of the Ding family and must come to support Ding Zhuang.

Not long after, Xia Lizheng, Xia Erbo, Jiang Tofu and other five villagers also came.

Xia Li is the official of this village, so he has to come even if he doesn't want to. Uncle Xia and others are good friends of Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao, and they are here to help their friends.

As relatives and neighbors of the Ding family, they would bear witness to Jiaozipu and the second house of the Ding family, and they would be able to say something fair if the valuation was unfair.

Everyone waited until noon but no one came from Jiaozipu.

Mrs. Zhang went to invite Mrs. Zhao, and the two cooked a large pot of noodles for everyone to eat.

At the end of the day, twenty people came to Jiaozipu. Nineteen of them had evil faces on their faces, and they looked like thugs collecting debts. A skinny old man with an abacus in his hand came to calculate accounts and make valuations.

Most of the people entered the upper room, and a few evil men stood in the yard.

Sun Datou, the small leader of Jiaoziji, took out two IOUs and said, The principal is one thousand two hundred taels, and Ding Chili's IOUs are due today.

Ding Zhao, Xia Lizheng, and Ding Shan took a look at the IOU. It was indeed Ding Chi's handwriting, with three points of profit, and his fingerprints were also pressed.

Ding Zhuang took out the deeds to the shop, yard, and fields, and Ding Lichun went to the backyard to bring the cows to the front yard.

The appraiser estimated the price. The Ding family, Xia Lizheng and others felt that the price was low, so they bargained again and settled on a price that both parties recognized.

Ding Zhuang took out the banknotes, silver coins, copper coins, and those assets to collect one thousand two hundred taels of silver.

No one expected that the second brother of the Ding family could collect so much money in three days. They thought it would be good to collect seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

Sun Datou nodded with satisfaction, Yes, the principal has been paid off. He then borrowed money and said, There is still interest of seventy-two taels of silver. Once it is paid off, I will give you the loan. From now on, we will not owe each other anything.

Ding Zhao was surprised, Guanshi Sun is overestimating it. The three-cent interest is due today, and the interest should be thirty-six silver. How can there be an extra sum of money?
