Chapter 31 Paying back the money

Yu Xiaolian and Jiang Lin laughed and picked another basket full of goji berries. When walking back, Jiang Lin suddenly asked, "What was that thing on your eyes yesterday? Why did you put it in your eyes?" , doesn't it hurt?"

   "That thing is called color contact lenses, which can change the size and color of the eyeballs. They are attached to the eyeballs and don't hurt."

  Jiang Lin said again, "That's good, if it hurts, don't take it."

Yu Xiaolian stopped and looked at Jiang Lin seriously, "You must have guessed how the antidote I saved you yesterday came from. I am a descendant of the Wu clan. I hope you can keep it a secret for me. I don’t want to be caught and drained of blood one day.”

  Jiang Lin said seriously, "Who dares? Who dares to shed your blood, I'll kill him!"

  Yu Xiaolian grinned, "Brother Jiang Lin, I don't have brothers and sisters, and neither do you, why don't we two become sworn brothers, and you will be my brother in the future, okay?"

  Jiang Lin smiled boldly, showing his white teeth, "Okay, sister Lian. Brother will protect you from now on!"

   Just like that, Yu Xiaolian had her first heart-to-heart friend in this other world.

  …

   the next day.

  Yu Xiaolian, Mrs. Sun and Yu Changhe went to visit Yu Zikuang's grave together.

  Yu Zikuang’s grave is just a small mound of low height, without even a tombstone, and the surrounding area is covered with tall barnyard grass.

  Ms. Sun first opened the oiled paper bag, which contained five pieces of delicate sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and placed the snacks in front of Yu Zikuang's grave.

  Yu Xiaolian saw that Sun had drawn a circle on the ground with a branch, and then ignited the burning paper with a torch, and began to burn paper money for Yu Zikuang in the circle.

Yu Xiaolian couldn't kowtow to someone who wasn't relatives, but now that she was enjoying the love of Yu Zikuang's parents, she couldn't just stand like this and bow three times to that little bumpkin. I said in my heart, "Brother Kuang, I will earn a lot of money in the future and be filial to my father and mother. If you can be reincarnated, you can go. I hope you can be reborn in a rich family in your next life. Blessed forever."

  When she went back, Sun was crying heartbroken, turning around every step of the way, which made Yu Xiaolian feel very uncomfortable.

  There are eight sufferings in the human world, birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment and hatred, parting from love, not getting what you want, and the five abundance of yin.

  Parting from love should be the most painful thing, right?

   Now that she is here, her parents must be as heartbroken as Sun, and she is not filial enough when you think about it.

  But God's will tricks people, she can only let it go as it comes.

  After returning home, Yu Xiaolian secretly came to Huichun Hall under the guise of digging wild vegetables.

   When Laishun saw it was her, he greeted her into the inner hall with a smile on his face, poured tea for her, and let her eat snacks.

  Yu Xiaolian didn't smudge, took out the American ginseng slices she had saved these days, and put them on the small table.

  Lai Shun saw such a large package of ginseng slices, which weighed four to five catties, and his eyeballs almost fell out of shock.

Laishun went to take the scale with a smile, and weighed the ginseng slices neatly, as if he was afraid that Yu Xiaolian would regret it when it was too late, "Baby, four and a half catties, totaling four hundred and fifty taels of silver, look at you Do you want a bank note or a silver ingot?"

   "Silver ingot!"

  Who knows if this ancient bank or something will go bankrupt, and if the banknotes are accidentally wet with water, it will be troublesome, or the white silver ingots look festive, and they are heavy and feel real and safe in the hand.

  Lai Shun was dumbfounded, and asked again uncertainly, "Baby, these four hundred and fifty taels weigh more than thirty catties, and they are heavy. Are you sure you want all silver ingots?"

   "Sure, you just need to bring it! Also, don't call me Doll in the future, my name is Yu Xiaolian."

   Laishun nodded, "Then you wait, I'll get you some money."

  The largest denomination of silver circulating in the market in Great Liang Country is ten taels, like one hundred taels, which are usually specially made by the state treasury, and ordinary people like them don't need it at all.

  When Laishun put the ten taels and one ingot of silver into Yu Xiaolian's basket one by one, Yu Xiaolian's smiling eyes narrowed.

   Covering the back basket tightly with cloth, Yu Xiaolian bid farewell to Laishun, and when she left the town, she put all the money into the space.

  When she returned to Hewanzi Village, Yu Xiaolian first looked for Jiang Lin from the foot of the mountain. Jiang Lin had dug up a large basket of wild vegetables and was waiting for her.

  Yu Xiaolian and Jiang Lin handed over perfectly, poured wild vegetables into their own baskets, and then went home with a large basket of wild vegetables on their backs.

  Since Mrs. Feng was beaten last time, Mrs. Feng has been in a low mood, and Mrs. Sun can't go to Zhao's house to do embroidery anymore, so she has been embroidering in her own house.

  Yu Xiaolian just wanted to show off her large basket of wild vegetables, when she heard Yu Changhe counting the baskets over and over again in the small warehouse, it seemed that a few baskets were missing from the weaving.

  Yu Xiaolian unloaded the basket and ran into the small warehouse, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Yu Changhe frowned, "Why don't I make more baskets? I found out the other day that it was missing, so I checked it out, and there were thirty-five. I made three more this morning, and it should be thirty-eight." That’s right, when I checked just now, it turned out to be thirty-three?”

  Yu Xiaolian thought of seeing Yu Ziyi walking around in front of the warehouse a few days ago, and said firmly, "Father, Yu Ziyi must have stolen it and sold it. I'll go find him!"

  Yu Changhe grabbed Yu Xiaolian, "If there is no evidence, don't wrong people!"

  Yu Xiaolian thought about it, yes, if he didn't grasp the appearance, Yu Ziyi would not admit it, and he might even beat him up, saying that they slandered him.

"Father, I have a solution!" Yu Xiaolian said in a low voice, "Let's not make a fuss about the lost basket, just pretend we didn't find out, Yu Ziyi will come to steal again after he got the benefit, I've been staring at him for the past few days, waiting When he steals again, I'll catch him and show him."

Yu Changhe disagreed, "It's better not to make a fuss, if there is a thief in the house, it is always a disgraceful thing. It will be bad if it affects your third uncle and Zishu's exam, besides, Ziyi is only twelve I'm still a child, how can a child not make mistakes? I'll just talk to him in private, don't worry about this matter!"

  Yu Changhe is so soft-hearted, he is not at all like the selfish old lady Yu.

  Although Yu Xiaolian did not agree with Yu Changhe's actions, there was nothing he could do.

  Out of the small barn, Mrs. Sun was picking the wild vegetables she had brought back, saying that they were going to be washed and salted.

Yu Xiaolian thought that she hadn't put salt in the salt jar for several days, so she sneaked to the kitchen of the wooden house in the backyard, opened the salt jar, and added some coarse salt to it. Fortunately, the coarse salt in her supermarket and Sun's The ones I bought are very similar, so I won't be found.

  She checked the soy sauce bottle and the vinegar bottle one by one, and found that there was no shortage, so she didn't add any more. Sun rarely cooks, and occasionally makes wild vegetable soup, but she is reluctant to add salt, which is very weak.

  Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the front yard, and Yu Xiaolian hurried to the front yard.

  When I arrived at the front yard, I saw Mrs. Zhao with her hips on her hips, yelling at Yu Changhe to pay back the money.

   Mrs. Zhao knew about her son's betrayal of Yu Changhe, and Zhao Kuo hesitated at the beginning, unable to make up her mind, so she kept persuading her.

  Now after what happened yesterday, Mrs. Zhao was afraid that Yu Changhe would think about it, so she wanted to get back the four taels of silver that Yu Changhe owed.

  If Yu Changhe knew the truth and broke up with Zhao Kuo, I'm afraid four taels of money would be wasted.

  So, regardless of Feng's obstruction, Mrs. Zhao came to look for Yu Changhe.

  Yu Changhe blushed at this time, feeling very ashamed. He didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to ask him to pay back the money in such a big way, and even provoked the neighbors around to watch the fun.

   "What's the matter? No money?" Mrs. Zhao said sarcastically, "You said that you have been a government servant for so many years, but you haven't saved any private money, really."

  Seeing that Yu Changhe was silent, Mrs. Zhao said to Mrs. Yu, "All the money Changhe earned in those years has been handed over to you. Will you pay back the money for him?"

  Old lady Yu spat on the ground, "You think beautifully, we have already separated, and it's not like you don't know that when we separated, it was agreed that whoever's famine will lead."

Mrs. Zhao saw that Mrs. Yu was determined and knew that it would not work to ask her to pay back the money for Yu Changhe, so she said, "Then what should I do? I will give you three days at most, and you must pay back the money, or we will go to Go to the village head, ask him to issue a certificate, and use your land to pay off the debt."
