Jiang Dahai came back from the county to inquire about the news.
"Grandpa, grandma, I made peace with that family. They said they can reconcile, but they need two hundred taels of silver in compensation."
"What? Two hundred taels?"
Qian's eyes widened, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"He said that if he takes the two hundred taels, he will go to the Yamen to withdraw the lawsuit."
"But... two hundred taels, where can I get it..."
"Grandpa, if we sell those two shops at home..."
"No, you can't sell the shop for anything. If you sell the shop, how will you make money in the future? Are we all drinking the northwest wind?"
Qian didn't agree.
That shop is the lifeblood of the Jiang family.
It's because of these two shops that the Jiang family can get better and better.
Which of the villagers has a shop in the town?
The shops in the town are so valuable. If you want to buy them after selling them, you still don’t know how much they will cost!
Mr. Jiang squatted on the threshold, smoking a dry cigarette.
He felt a little regretful now, regretting not listening to Jiang Yuan that day.
"Dahai, if your parents go to prison, will it have any impact on your imperial examination in the future?"
Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Dahai.
Jiang Dahai's expression changed slightly.
Does he mean that if there is no impact, grandpa will not pay to save his parents?
"It must have had an impact..."
Mr. Jiang said nothing, and everyone else was waiting for his decision.
"We must save, but there may be other ways..."
"Da Dahai, don't you have a bad relationship with that Li Juren? You can ask him to make peace with you at the Yamen and see if this matter can be settled like this."
The face of the river and the sea was ashen.
Let him ask Li Zhaopeng?
Just for the two shops in town?
"Grandpa, my relationship with Li Juren is not very good. Even if I go to ask for help, I have to act like I'm begging for help, and I won't be able to save money."
"Grandpa thinks, how much does it cost to be worthy of Li Juren?"
"Besides, if this matter can be settled with money, it is already the best outcome."
"I haven't finished what I just said. Apart from the two hundred taels, there are several others still in the hospital that cost at least ten taels of silver in medical expenses."
"In total, I only have three hundred taels. I'm afraid it won't be settled."
When Qian heard this, he slapped his thigh and started howling immediately.
"What a crime. These people are robbing money. Is there any justice here... These two unlucky things are causing trouble for our family..."
Jiang Dahai watched coldly.
In order to allow him to study with peace of mind, he was told less about things at home.
His grandfather and grandmother should also know about what his parents did.
However, the profits from selling fake beef were so high that they turned a blind eye.
Now that something happened, he was reluctant to save his parents.
As for asking him to find Li Juren...
He frowned when he thought of what Li Juren said to him.
"Grandpa, brother, actually there is no need to go to the point of selling the shop..."
Jiang Yuexiu, who had been quiet next to her, suddenly spoke.
"What can you do?"
Hearing that there was no need to sell the shop, Qian became more energetic.
"Eldest sister's house, I've seen their carriages coming and going recently, and I have a relationship with the shopkeeper of Hongyun Tower. The food they eat is very good, so they must have a lot of money in their hands."
Qian's eyes flashed.
She also knew everything about Jiang Yuan's situation in the village after the separation.
Carrying all the big and small bags home, it cost a lot of money over a period of time.
