Chapter 15 Family troubles (2)
Old Mrs. An heard the sound, hurriedly groped and lit the oil lamp, and said quickly: "How?" Xue also stood up and looked over with anticipation. After seeing An Baoliang's guilty and dodging eyes, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat back heavily.
Xue suddenly opened her hair and said fiercely: "Cut this hair for money!"
"Hmph! Can you see people after cutting your hair? How much money can that hair be worth? It's okay if you don't have the ability, but you will force my son to shame?" Old Mrs. An stood up angrily and said angrily: "It's all debt collectors!"
An Yi handed over the golden earrings: "Don't argue, use this for money. Maybe there will be a way to survive these two days. "
Old Mrs. An even more angry: "I have said it many times, don't touch this golden lilac!"
An Baoliang lowered his eyes and said, "So many years have passed, and our family is not the same as before. Maybe..."
Maybe what? An Yi was pricking up her ears and waiting to listen to gossip, but saw Geely walking in with her eyes down, first gave Mrs. An and An Baoliang, and then gave Xue a blessing, and whispered: "Old lady, master, madam, when the concubine entered the door, the old lady gave a silver hairpin, and the wife gave a silver hairpin. It was calculated that it was more than one tael of silver. I wanted to keep it for the end of the future. Now that the family urgently needed it, the concubine would take it out first, and I hope the wife would not be too small."
Old Lady An and others were immediately surprised, and then An Baoliang and Old Lady An showed emotion and surprise in their eyes, and Xue lowered their eyes silently. Seeing the reaction of his mother and son, Geely glanced at An Yi provocatively. She knew that An Baoliang's character was the most important thing. After she made this discount, she would not sell her easily. And she just took out the money on the surface. I think that in the future, An Baoliang would definitely pay her twice. So An Yi and her daughter were sure to lose this game.
An Yi received Geely's provocative gaze and laughed instead. What a smart Geely, she solved her own crisis in just over one or two dollars, and made Old Lady An and her son feel grateful. No wonder Miss An was plotted by her in the past so that her father was not loved by her.
Seeing An Yi laughing, Geely couldn't figure out her thoughts for a moment. Seeing that Xue was not here to pick up Yinchai and Yinchai, she frowned and said sadly: "Wife does not pick up the silver from the concubine, is it because she doesn't think it's too little?"
Maomao took a meal and wanted his husband and mother-in-law to be so slandered that she was so cunning and vicious woman that she would never be more calculating than this woman. Xue would not believe that Geely was kind-hearted, and only looked at the silver hairpin and silver hairpin in Geely's hand, so disgusting that she couldn't speak.
"Madam..." Geely made a gesture and begged. An Yi had already stepped forward to take the hairpin and said warmly: "I didn't expect that my aunt was so wise and the wife was so happy and stupid. We Maomao can have another medicine." But she did not give the silver hairpin to Xue, but gave it to Old Lady An, and smiled and said: "I was ignorant in the past and did a lot of things that shouldn't be done. It's rare for my aunt to care about me. She loves my younger brother like this and is willing to take out the private money she had saved for her brother to buy medicine... This kind of behavior is rare in the world. No matter who knows it, I'm afraid I will praise my father for being very lucky. The concubine who buys the house is so wise and can be anxious about what the master is worried about. It's also the old lady who knows people with keen eyes."
Geely became more and more confused. Why did this girl say good things to her? Every sentence was like, but why was something wrong? But seeing the light in An Baoliang's eyes gradually faded, she stood up and pulled Old Lady An and whispered a few words. Geely felt a trembling heart, and a bad premonition arose.
Sure enough, Old Lady An weighed the silver hairpin, looked at Xue and An Baoliang, and returned Geely: "Forget it, it sounds so ugly when it is spread." The legitimate son of An's family was sick and had to rely on the precious concubine he bought to help with jewelry. Where should An Baoliang's face be put? In fact, according to the old lady's idea, Geely people all belong to An's family, and her money is from An's family. How can there be so many statements? Nothing is more important than a grandson. But An Baoliang said that this little money is insufficient to solve the urgent problem, so why lose his reputation in vain?
Xue's eyes flashed slightly, and she quietly looked at Old Lady An. Old Lady An said lightly: "I suddenly thought of a way. I will cook first, go to bed early and get up early, so I can solve this problem tomorrow."
"Old lady..." Geely wanted to say something else, but Old lady An had already sunk and said, "Why don't you go down to cook quickly?" Seeing Geely retreating, she said, "You go to the clinic to take half a day off tomorrow and accompany me to the street."
An Baoliang said ashamed: "Mom..."
Old Mrs. An closed her eyes and said coldly: "Don't tell me these useless things. Just remember that whenever you have to spend money on others in the future, think more about the old and young people in the family. It was for the sake of being loyal and generous. Who would raise your son for you?" After that, he entered the dark inner room.
Geely's plan failed, and her teeth were itchy with hatred. Her nails were deeply pinched into her palms, and she only stared at An Yi. An Yi smiled lightly and looked back calmly to persuade An Baoliang and Xue: "Go and rest."
The next morning, An Yi rushed to the clinic for half a day off. When she got home, she helped Xue feed Maomao medicine. Seeing that Old Mrs. An had packed up, she helped her out and asked, "Grandma, where are you going?"
"Pawnshop!" Old Mrs. An was dark and poked the crutch to the ground as if she was venting her crutch, making the bluestone road sound. Seeing her like this, An Yi guessed that the thing she wanted to be today must be a very important thing for her. As expected, halfway through the way, Old Mrs. An, who had been silent, finally said in a hoarse voice: "This is the heirloom treasure left by your great-grandfather. I tried my best to preserve it. If it weren't..." He closed his eyes and sighed, paused the crutch hard, raised his voice and said: "I just hope that your brother can honor his ancestors in the future, and it's not in vain for me to plan for him like this."
An Yi followed her thoughts and comforted her: "Yes, I'll do it."
Soon, the grandparents and grandson walked to the only pawnshop in Changli County. Old Mrs. An stood in front of the high counter with a gloomy face, knocked on the counter with a crutch, and said in a deep voice: "Dangdang!"
A guy stood up lazily from behind the counter and smiled perfunctorily at Old Lady An: "What are the old lady going to be like this time?"
Old Mrs. An said calmly: "I ask you to come to you!"
Chaofeng was the shopkeeper in the pawnshop. The shopkeeper knew it was a big deal and immediately rushed out. Old Mrs. An spread her hand in front of the shopkeeper, revealing an old brocade handkerchief wrapped in an egg-sized piece of beautiful jade, and said angrily: "I want to be this."
The shopkeeper stroked the beautiful jade in his hand with a smile and said carelessly: "Would the old lady live or die?"
Old Mrs. An frowned her eyebrows and said, "Do you think so beautifully? This is my ancestors, so I will live!"
The shopkeeper threw the jade pendant at the counter casually and said lightly: "Ten taels of silver!"
