"That won't work! How can our master's jade ring be bought for just five hundred coins? You can't take it out, right? Then you'll risk your life!"
The original young man shouted again and was about to step forward.
"No, no, no, don't fight. Is it OK for a small... small person to work slowly?" Lin Jianxin was so frightened that he hurriedly squatted down with his head in his hands, not even seeing Xia Qiyue and the others who had been walking over to look at them for a while.
Because there were already many people watching around, and Xia Qiyue did not squeeze into the front of the crowd because she had her child with her.
"Twenty taels of silver, when will you be able to repay your work? You haven't finished the silver in two years and our master still doesn't wear a jade ring?"
The thug spoke angrily, then looked at the arrogant man standing aside and asked what to do.
"beat!"
After giving the order, five or six thugs swarmed forward. Although they had no weapons, punching and kicking them was still a great harm to the weak scholar.
"How much does he owe? I'll pay it back!"
In the end, Xia Qiyue couldn't bear it and just ignored it, and interrupted the thugs.
Until he followed them back to the small courtyard, Lin Jianxin just lowered his head and said nothing.
Xia Qiyue was about to open the courtyard door, but he raised his head and said, "Da Ya, I will repay this money. Is it okay if I work slowly? Why don't you write me an IOU!"
Xia Qiyue turned around and said, "Let's talk after we go in!"
Lin stopped talking when they saw him, lowered his head and followed into the yard.
Pei Heng had already left, and it was Pei Si who got up in a hurry and came over to call him away.
An Youde told her vividly that Pei Heng's face turned green at that time.
Xia Qiyue asked An Youde to go back and work hard and stop thinking about other people's affairs, and then took Lin Jianxin to Xia Xinghe's room.
An Youde was actually not interested in Pei Heng's embarrassment. He just came out to see Xia Jiuyue as an excuse. It seemed that this was his usual style.
Xia Xinghe saw Lin Jianxin running out to say hello and asked questions for a while. He didn't have any wounds on his face, and his fists and kicks were all on his body, so Xia Xinghe didn't notice his wounds.
After Xia Xinghe left, Xia Qiyue said seriously, "What, Lin Xiucai...you have lost your job now, right?"
Although Lin Jianxin was a little uncomfortable with the way she called him Lin Xiucai, he still nodded obediently.
"Yes, I was fired because I broke a customer's jade ring! But don't worry, I will definitely find a job and repay you properly!"
Xia Qiyue waved her hands, "Don't worry!" Then she sat down on the kang leisurely, and then said, "Why don't you think about it, how about being the wife of my three children and using it to pay off the debt? I'll give you five taels of silver every month.
Silver, I will deduct 3 taels of silver every month to pay off the debt, giving you 2 taels of silver for household use! Deduct it for seven months, deduct 2 taels of silver in the seventh month and pay it off, how about that?"
Lin Jianxin suddenly stood up, tears flashing in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Xia Qiyue in disbelief, "You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you", with tears flashing in his eyes. Tears flashed in his eyes for a moment. He couldn't believe it and pointed his finger at Xia Qiyue.
"Don't get excited yet, I have a request!" Xia Qiyue pressed her hands and signaled Lin Jianxin to sit down first.
Lin Jianxin couldn't help but be excited, put down his hands tremblingly, pursed his lips and sat down, "Da Ya, you can ask for anything you want!"
This is pie in the sky, five taels a month, which is equal to his six months' wages. This is a blessing in disguise.
"First of all, please call me An Xia or Xia Qiyue. Please don't call me Xia Daya again! It's so unpleasant!" Xia Qiyue frowned and said pitifully.
"Pfft..." Lin Jianxin couldn't help laughing, "No, Da Ya, I used to call you that too. Don't you like it?"
"That's different! I'm a mother of three children now, can I compare with when I was a child? Anyway, you can't scream like that anymore!" Xia Qiyue shook her head.
"Okay, okay! This is not a request, I will just change it! What else?" Lin Jianxin said eagerly.
"Furthermore, here, children and girls are equal. Regardless of sons or daughters, we want them to read, read, and learn knowledge! So, you have to accept both children!"
Lin Jianxin immediately nodded, "Okay, no problem!"
Xia Qiyue nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, our Shanbei Zhuangzi was arranged near Jiuli Town. The village is called Baijia Village. I am also building a house, so the school is in the village, in my own yard.
, but if the village knows that a master has arrived and wants to send their children to study, I have the final say as to who will be accepted or not!"
The village is now not only composed of people from Shanbei Zhuangzi, but also more than 20 households from other villages, totaling more than 50 households. Every household has children. When they learn that the Master is here, they will definitely want to send their children over.
But if everyone wants it, the house will inevitably become a mess. The family has to make candies, and it will be very troublesome if there is a mess. Therefore, when she is looking for friends for the children, she must control the quantity. At most
Ten, no matter how many, half will not be accepted!
Lin Jianxin didn't expect to be able to accept other students, but he still had no objection to the matter and happily accepted it.
"Furthermore, each of us will receive half of the students' training!" Xia Qiyue smiled slyly. Although the money was nothing to her, she felt at a loss for providing a place to study for free.
panic.
"Shu Xiu? Does Shu Xiu still have my share?" Lin Jianxin almost fainted, his heart couldn't stand being hit by this big pie.
"Yes, but you will be the dean after dividing the students' attention. From now on, you will be responsible for everything! But it's okay. I plan to accept up to ten students. Adding the three of my children, that's thirteen children.
You're in charge!"
As soon as Lin Jianxin learned about the number of students, he immediately did a mental calculation. For these ten students, if they were given two taels of silver per semester, that would be twenty taels, half... Oh my god, ten taels. Not only did he have five taels every month,
The salary, plus an additional ten taels for each semester, is simply a turning point in his life. He is going to be a successful person!
He was calculating in his mind and grinning from ear to ear. The moment he saw the small courtyard, he could tell that the little girl who had grown up behind him was going to be successful.
Now he is more prosperous than him. He has been able to live in such a good place after escaping from the famine. He seems to be running a business and has several people working at home.
He has been a rare genius in the village since he was a child. He was admitted as a child student at the age of sixteen. Almost every family with a girl has missed him, but now...
He can accept that others have a better life than him and will not be envious or jealous for no reason, let alone that little girl back then.
"However, I'll put the ugly words first. If anything happens that is harmful to us, I don't need to tell you to leave on your own! Although we have grown up together, business is business! Do you understand?"
Xia Qiyue also clarified the original owner's love for the man in front of her in disguise, without any emotion in it, purely because she also needed a husband.
"That's right! Don't worry, boss!"
Lin Jianxin immediately got into the role and called his boss respectfully without any hesitation.
