Yun Jin was also surprised. This Miss Chen looked good, so why did she act like this? It is natural to destroy the relationship between husband and wife, but this is going too far.

She also knew Yang Xu, who was powerful, smart, and extremely good-looking. Her husband was also very capable and a perfect match. There was no way a girl like Chen Yuru could alienate him.

Anyway, that was someone else's business, so Yun Jin didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that her eldest daughter was so angry when she mentioned this, it was better not to mention it.

Zhou Yan had thought about it anyway. She would definitely not let Chen Yuru go. It would be best to get her out of the town in despair. The easiest way to make a person embarrassed is to be helpless without money!

When Zhou Yan went back that night, she sent someone to keep an eye on Chen Yuru. She had to see if Chen Yuru had any other tricks up her sleeve, or if she had enough money?

When Chen Yuru went back that night, she felt extremely desperate. When she saw Yang waiting outside, she burst into tears.

"What's wrong? Could it be that I wasn't chosen? That's okay, don't cry..." Yang comforted her in a hurry.

She waited outside for a long time and saw girls coming out. Her Yuru hadn't come out yet, which meant that Yuru had been chosen!

As a result, when Yuru came out, her face was not good-looking, and now she was even crying. Her Yuru has always been very strong, when had she ever cried? She must have been greatly wronged, otherwise she wouldn't have cried.

so.

"No, I got into trouble...I want to compensate others for their money..." Chen Yuru cried.

When she went out, her rationality slowly returned. When she thought about it, she realized that she had gotten into trouble today and had fallen into someone's trap very stupidly.

She has always been rational, but she just didn't have any brains today. She reflected on it, maybe it was because she was so confident at first, but everything turned out to be different from what she thought, so she panicked and became absent-minded.

, until that Zhou Yan appeared, and her panic reached its peak.

She was scared and at a loss, worried about whether Zhou Yan would deal with her, and disappointed that her hopes were completely shattered.

Then she panicked and couldn't find any sense. She was just confused and arrogant for a while. Then when she came out, she realized that in addition to being humiliated, she also lost a sum of money, and then got nothing. And that

Zhou Yan, there was no delay at all, and there was no loss at all!

She was extremely wronged. Although she was in charge of the money at home, at this moment she was like a child without a backbone. She was scared and at a loss, and could only rely on her mother instinctively.

"It's okay, it's okay. Ru'er, don't cry. Tell your mother, what kind of money should you pay? Is someone bullying you?" Yang quickly comforted her.

She was in a daze, as if this scene had happened before, a long time ago. Ru'er was only four or five years old at that time. She was also like this. She would come to her when she was scared.

But she was useless. He could only hug her and cry every time. There was nothing he could do, let alone stand up for her. Later, Ru'er no longer looked for her, but was able to stand alone. Even later,

She also learned to protect her incompetent mother.

Now that her Ru'er is crying like this, she feels extremely distressed and feels that now she can risk everything for her and do anything.

"I want to pay twenty taels of silver. I was cheated by her! I did something stupid today..." Chen Yuru said incoherently.

Mr. Yang was worried on the sidelines, why was he deceived? Could it be that this shop was a scam? Didn't it mean that it was run by some eldest lady? How could he defraud people of their money?

"Did the people in that shop bully you? Do you still want to pay for it? Go to the Yamen and sue them!" Yang said angrily.

"Mom, don't go. I was stupid this time. I signed the clause. There is no point in going to the Yamen." Chen Yuru said in a low voice.

She has stopped crying now, feels better, and is no longer so helpless. At least she still has her mother with her.

"What's going on? You're so confused, but you're going to scare your mother to death." Yang said anxiously.

Chen Yuru calmed down, looked back at the shop coldly, and then turned back to explain to Yang.

"I went there today. Everything was fine, but the eldest lady is someone I know. She is the woman who asked for directions on the first day we arrived in the town. She is that woman's friend..." Chen Yuru said calmly

described.

The more Yang listened, the more she became heartbroken. They had offended that woman. This eldest lady was actually the woman they asked for directions that day. She was also the woman's friend. How could Yuru have had a good life in the past!

"Why is that woman so lucky to have only one friend and a young lady?" Yang said unwillingly.

They had not been here long, and they knew that the mayor must be the one who made the decision in this town, so the most powerful young lady in the town must be Miss Zhou. Before they could fawn over her, that woman turned out to be the eldest lady.

A good friend!

"I don't know how they met. It's probably because of my cousin. Otherwise, how could a country girl know this young lady? She just borrowed the influence of her cousin!" Chen Yuru said bitterly.

Ms. Yang also thinks so, otherwise they know that all the young ladies only play with people of similar social status. How could that woman, a country woman, reach such a high rank as the eldest lady!

It must be Wang Dayi who has a lot of potential, so he made that woman prosper, and then he fawned over the eldest lady!

While Yang hated that woman's good luck, she also thought about the amount of money her daughter owed, which was quite a lot. She just heard Yuru say she wanted twenty taels of silver! All the money in their family now adds up.

Not enough twenty taels!

"You just said that you need to pay twenty taels of silver? We can't afford not to pay? We didn't take anything or damage anything, so why should we pay so much money? Isn't this robbery!" Yang said angrily.

They didn't do anything, so why should they pay twenty taels of silver in compensation? That's not a small amount, this is not robbery!

"After I saw that woman today, I was absent-minded. Then she took three contracts. I glanced at them, and they were the same as those of the other two girls. So I was upset at the time and didn't read the contents carefully, so I just wrote

I had my name and fingerprints pressed, but who would have known that there was a clause on it, saying that if I regretted it, I would have to pay twenty taels of silver..." Chen Yuru said with self-blame.

"She is cheating! Where are the rules like this? We won't pay compensation, let's go to the Yamen to make a review!" Yang said angrily.

"Mom, even if you go to the Yamen, you have to follow the agreement. If I didn't agree at the beginning, I don't have to have my thumbprint pressed. But if I have done it, they will only follow the agreement. If they say I regret it, then

So we can only compensate, which is unreasonable."

Even if she was an ordinary person, she wouldn't take advantage of her. What's more, she was Miss Zhou, so the Yamen would definitely turn to her.

"Then we can only pay money? But our family..." Yang said looking at Chen Yuru.

"Go back first, we have to pay compensation tomorrow, and the money must be sent over. I don't have enough cash at home, so let's sell jewelry! Anyway, I still have to sell it. My job is completely gone, so I still have to pay attention to it in the future.

Planning, but we still have to live this life. We can’t do it without money. Let’s sell two kinds of jewelry!"

Chen Yuru has no choice but to understand, and is still calm now. Anyway, it is impossible for her to leave here and give up her cousin. If the money is not enough, there will always be a way.

Yang sighed, and had no other choice but to listen to Chen Yuru, who said that life would always go on.

The two of them went back, thinking that it was getting late and the pawn shop might be closed, so they planned to go to the pawn shop early tomorrow morning to check the market conditions.

Chen Yuru felt that it was late, it was already past dinner time, but when she went back, the group of people were still talking there, discussing something in a low voice.

Chen Yuru used to pretend, but now when she is in a bad mood, she feels upset when she sees these people, and her heart is full of disgust and boredom. But that group of people don't know, and they come over when they see the Yang mother and daughter passing by.

To speak.

"Oh, Yuru came back so late, she must have been selected! Then we will go to the shop to have a look, Yuru will give us a cheaper price!" an aunt said with a smile.

They were paying attention. The mother and daughter didn't come back all afternoon, so they must have been selected! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been delayed for so long.

"How can we afford a place like that? Haven't you seen it? The waiters there only have five taels of silver a month, and the things there are so expensive! We can't afford it." Aunt Yu said sourly.

said.

An aunt with sharp eyes saw the box Chen Yuru was carrying. The box seemed to be made of good wood, with patterns carved on it. It should be a jewelry box!

"Hey, Miss Chen, what are you getting here? Could it be that the store gives you something?"

When several people heard this, they all looked at the box in Chen Yuru's hand and wished she could open it to take a look.

Chen Yuru was so bored that she couldn't even smile, let alone deal with these boring people.

"I was not selected. This box contains things I bought myself. Aunts, please sit here! We haven't had dinner yet, so we're going back first." Chen Yuru said with a straight face.

Then he left without waiting for those people to say anything.

Chen Yuru all left directly, and Yang was even too lazy to pay attention to them, so she also left directly, leaving those few people waiting inexplicably.

"You didn't choose, are you in a bad mood?"

"Bah! What kind of attitude? You're not pretending today. You usually put on a fake smile, but you're not pretending today? It's right that you didn't choose, otherwise the shopkeeper would be blind!" Aunt Yu vented her anger.

said.

She felt happy now, unprecedentedly happy. She didn't like Chen Yuru at all. When she heard that Chen Yuru was going to be selected, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Such a woman can earn five taels of silver a month. The shopkeeper of this shop must be blind!

Now that she saw that she was not selected, she felt overjoyed. This is what she should be doing! A woman like Chen Yuru should be prevented from finding a job. Even if she brought a lot of money, it would still be used up.

When the time comes, when she is alone and helpless, look at how she can still put on a charming look to seduce people!

"Please keep your voice down. It's okay to scold Miss Chen. You can't say anything bad about the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is Mayor Zhou's niece, Miss Zhou! Do you dare to criticize me? I'm afraid you want to go."

It's time to go to the Yamen!" An aunt quickly pulled Aunt Yu and said.

They, ordinary people, would not dare to go against the government, otherwise it would be a dead end! That shop was run by Miss Zhou. She had found out about it, but she couldn't tell anyone about it.

Aunt Yu also regretted it. She was just quick-talking and didn't pay attention to these things. If she knew, how could she dare to say a word about this young lady!

"I didn't know, and I didn't say anything. I said Chen Yuru deserved it! I didn't say anything about the eldest lady." Aunt Yu said quickly.

There are only a few of them around here, so they shouldn't talk nonsense! She just mentioned it, but she didn't say anything bad.

The aunts had noticed this, and they were not frightened by this sentence. They were still talking about the shop!

"You said that the eldest lady's family has a lot of money. How else could she be so generous? Just a little boy earns five taels of silver a month!"

The four people in her family only have five taels of silver for food and drink a month, which is enough for a young boy. So how much money does her family have to have?

"That's not all! My eldest lady opened three shops. One shop hired two clerks, so there were six clerks in total. She had to give her thirty taels of silver a month! Oh my god! I look like this.

Da, I have never seen thirty taels of silver at one time!"

For ordinary people, it would be good if they had a dozen or so taels of silver saved at home. If the man supports the family and pays for food and drink for a month, then the monthly money is gone. How could he save so much money? She has never seen it.

So much money put together!

"Look at your potential, we have never seen it. She is a eldest lady. If she can give out thirty taels of silver, it means she doesn't care about the dozens of taels of silver! If you didn't notice, then you went to Yipinxiang to eat.

Those people spend several taels of silver on one meal, so how can we compare with eating and drinking..."

Several people were talking and discussing whether those rich people really had mountains of money!

"I know a little bit about that. Miss Zhou not only has an uncle who is the mayor, but her family is also very rich. Her father is a businessman. I heard that every year when he comes back, he only has gold and silver jewelry and rare jewelry.

, I have pulled several big boxes, how much money is that worth!"

When they were brought over, they were all packed in horse-drawn carriages, and they were escorted by so many people. The pomp was very grand. When they were carrying the boxes down, someone saw them. There were so many gold and silver jewelry, they were all dazzling.
