Time passes by.

    There is still no news from Song Qiuxue.

    The Song family is also waiting anxiously.

    I just don't want to, and some trouble suddenly appeared when I was waiting for the news.

    Song Dazhu moved here from a distance, and there are no relatives here, but Chen has a family in the next village.

    Mother family is also a duty, if the two sides are sad, they will hold hands.

    It would be nice.

    I was honest, so I got into big trouble.

      Immortal.

    I thought it would go on like this.

    The brother of the Chen family working outside was corrupted.

    It is also their bad luck.

    Tips in town are hard to find.

    If you really can't find work and want to do something in town, you can only go to the pier.

    See if you can do some odd jobs, if you are lucky, you can make some money a day.

    One day, the Chen brothers received a job order at the dock.

    It is to carry the tea leaves from the boat to the shop.

    As a result, when the box was handed over, the bottom of the box broke open, and all the tea leaves inside fell into the water.

    What's the use of soaked tea leaves?

    It's all wasted.

    What if I waste it? Well, someone must be compensated.

    The two brothers of the Chen family were frightened to death on the spot, it really has nothing to do with them, but just a little touch, how do you know the box will break?

    In the end, the boatman decided that it was their fault and pulled their hands to compensate.

    For such a big box of tea leaves, I asked them to pay fifty taels of silver.

    If the Chen family can take it out, how could it be possible to live so hard?

      The tea leaves are all soggy, obviously it came with a plan!

    But no matter how they explain, the other party insists on pulling them to compensate.

    In the end, the steward of the wharf came, and the result of the final discussion was to ask them to compensate.

    It doesn't matter whether the tea leaves in the box are dry or wet, it's their responsibility to keep things in their hands anyway.

    The brothers of the Chen family couldn't argue with each other, and finally they made trouble at the yamen, but the result was still unsatisfactory.

    In a month.

    If they can't pay during the period, they will have to be put in jail.

    The Chen family has no power or power, no matter how much you can argue.

    Seeing that they were going to be imprisoned, the Chen family had no choice but to borrow money from everywhere.

    The old lady of the Chen family will be sitting in the courtyard of the Song family, she wiped her tears and said, "I have no choice but to come to you, and your two nephews don't know who they are. What did I do wrong, to suffer this crime, the family can't get silver for a while now, and I want to buy the fields for silver, but I can't bear it. I think if I can, I will borrow it from my relatives and give them two years of money. time, we must pay."

    Chen Shi also wiped away tears.

    She clung to the old lady's hand tightly, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll talk to the boss about this, I can help."

    Actually, she was quite clueless.

    The head of the family is the one who manages the money. She is not sure how much money the family has left, but she can probably guess what the family eats during this time.

    The goo is getting thinner and thicker, and there are more and more vegetables in the pancake. It doesn’t look like a pancake, but it’s also a ball of green vegetables.

    You don't need to ask the owner how much money is left in the house, you know it won't be too much.

    Even less than expected.

    But the old lady opened her mouth. Back then, when the family was running out of time, her parents also helped. Now that such a big thing has happened to the mother's family, it's not good to leave it alone.

    As for what my mother said about selling the land.

    Fields are a family eater, how can they be sold?

    There are not many fields in the first place. If you really sell them, what will you do in the future?

    At the other end, Song Dazhu was taking out a ceramic jar from under the bed.

    It swayed gently, and there were some scattered sounds inside.

    Pour the copper plate inside on the bed, and count it carefully, less than half a tael of silver.

    Song Dazhu had a wry smile on his face.

    With this little money, what else can I say for Erlang to continue reading?

    If something goes wrong at the house of the old man, it is definitely not good for him to watch it, and he has to borrow some.

    The big deal, the big deal, a few days later, he also went to do some short work with his sons, and he could earn a little bit.

    "Dad." Song Si stood at the door and called softly, she waved: "Dad, come here."

    Song Dazhu walked over in confusion, and just walked over to his daughter, and saw her put five pieces of silver in his hand, "What are you doing?"

    Song Si filled with a smile, "Dad, you take this money and lend it to your grandmother, and use the rest for household use."

    "No need..." Song Dazhu shied away without thinking, but Song Si held his hand and said, "Dad, just take it, the family is not doing well now, I can see it all. You can't let me just watch the house and I can't make it through, can I?"

    She took out the five taels of silver, she really didn't feel reluctant or even reluctant.

    Holding twenty taels of silver, she is richer than other farmers in the village.

    This is the veneer given to her by her parents, her brothers and sisters-in-law.

    The family really cares about her.

    When she has silver taels in her hand, it is impossible for her to turn a blind eye to the difficulties at home.

    Besides, even if she took out 5 taels of silver, she still had 15 taels in her hand, which was really a lot for a girl like her who just reached her hair.

    Song Dazhu wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Song Si again.

    In the end, she smiled helplessly, "Okay, daddy will accept it, but don't worry, this money will be borrowed from you by daddy and your brothers, and I will pay you back in the future."

    Song Si just smiled and nodded.

    The matter of the silver was solved.

    Both the Song family and the Chen family felt relieved.

    When the Chen brothers handed over the money, they never thought that the trouble would not be resolved, but instead caused trouble.

    "Not enough? How can it be not enough, didn't you say two taels of silver? I've already given the silver, why can't it work?" The boss of the Chen family was in disbelief.

    Two taels of silver.

      not enough? !

    The boss of the Chen family is about to collapse.

    What is not enough.

    These two taels of silver will soon drive him to death. If he wants to speak again, it is better to kill him with one head than to drag his family.

    "Of course not enough." Wang Qiang sat on the bench with his feet on the wooden bench beside him, with a sinister smile on his face: "I have a box of tea leaves, which are very valuable. , two taels of silver are less than one-tenth of the total value."

    He is a repeat offender.

    I don't know how many people I have deceived by tricks.

    There are many times, and some experience is inevitable.

    Just like the man in front of him, he looks poor, wears ragged clothes, and doesn't get along well.

    People get money fast, they raised 2 taels after a few days of raising, and I heard that there is no field in the seller.

    In other words, the family can raise another sum of money back.

    Since I can still get a sum of money, I can't miss it, after all, he has spent a lot of money on the stewards on the dock.

    Wang Qiang said with a smile: "Anyway, you don't want to run away unless you take out ten taels of silver."

    "Twelve taels?!" The Chen family was completely blown up.

    It used to be twenty taels, but now it has become ten taels? !

    Where can they get so much money?

    The boss of the Chen family held his head in his hands and struggled in his eyes.

    Song Dazhu was also beside him at this time, and he prayed with the rest of the Chen family.

    "There is so much money, we really can't come up with it. If you have a lot of money, just bypass us once."

    "The yamen said that you only need to pay two taels, how can you go back on your word?"

    "I beg you, if you keep pushing like this, our family will die."

    Wang Qiang snorted.

    What does it have to do with him?

    Anyway, as long as he can get the silver.

    At this moment, the old man of the Chen family, who was holding his head, suddenly stood up, pulled Wang Qiang's shirt, widened his eyes and looked a little crazy, "Give me the silver, I won't give it back. If you have money, I will go to jail, even if I go to jail for the rest of my life, I will not give you the money!"

    While talking, he looked for the 2 taels of silver he just gave out on Wang Qiang.

    Wang Qiang was taken aback by his madness, and when he recovered, he was so angry that he shouted angrily: "What are you still standing there for? Hit me!"

    Wang Qiang has several brothers around him, otherwise he would not dare to do this kind of business.

    As soon as she shouted, the surrounding people rushed over, raised their fists and hit the peasant man.

    The Chen family naturally wouldn't watch their own being beaten, so they rushed over.

    It didn't take long for this place to become a melee.

    Manager Liu, who came to hear the news, blushed with anger, and yelled at them: "You bastards, stop me now! This is where you can make trouble at will. If it disturbs the nobles, see how I will clean up you!"

    He was a small butler at the dock.

    That is, the person who decides for Wang Qiang and puts all the responsibility on the Chen family.

    If it weren't for the benefits of Wang Qiang, Manager Liu would definitely drive people out.

      If they are in a ball, no one will have good fruit to eat."

    Wang Qiang hurried to please him, "Mr. Liu, please take more care, isn't this group of people too abhorrent? They obviously broke my things, but they don't plan to compensate."

    "You are talking nonsense! We obviously gave you two taels of silver!" The Chen family said with popularity.

    Wang Qiang pouted, "What's enough for two taels? I said it all, it must be ten taels of silver."

    After he finished speaking, he secretly winked at Manager Liu, indicating that there must be his share in the twelve taels.

    At other times, Manager Liu is willing to continue acting with Wang Qiang.

    But not today, he said solemnly: "Okay, you can close it as soon as you see it, no matter if it's a big thing, you can't make trouble here."

    Wang Qiang heard the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but become curious: "Mr. Liu, who will be on the dock today?"

     

    Wang Qiang is puzzled.

    Just a talent, what's the big deal?

    There are countless talents in a town, and there are no big figures in it.

    Steward Liu looked at him with disapproval and continued: "But one of them is different. That is the case this time. We haven't had a case in our town for nearly a hundred years."

    What is the desk?

    That is the number one name among scholars. If nothing else, they will be able to raise people in high school, and they may even be Jinshi, which is a higher-level position.

    Past desks.

    The lowest is Juren Master, and even the champion.

    But this is a matter of other towns, and this is the first time for their small place.

    Anyway.

    This is just a little talent now, after three or five years, it will definitely be an existence that they can't even look up to.

    Be kind at this time, and you will be rewarded in the future.

     Manager Liu was a little excited when he thought about it.

    He has prepared everything, just wait for the master scholar to come back, he must be the first to flatter.

    Wang Qiang's eyes rolled around, and Liu Guanshi could understand the truth, and he naturally understood it, and was also thinking about whether to think of a way to show his face in front of Master Xiucai.

    On the other end.

    Song Dazhu also heard them.

    An old face couldn't help but feel a little worried. I don't know if Erlang has passed the exam at this time. If not, I have to comfort him.

    At this moment, one person came in a hurry, "Steward Liu, the ship of the gentlemen is here!"
