After Bai Ling left, Walnut complained: "Old Master, you are too generous. That jade cabbage is a good thing that we can't buy in Wufu Town. You just gave it to me."
"What do you know!" After glaring at Walnut, Mr. Qian said meaningfully: "This girl is a person who understands affection, and you will never suffer in her hands. What do you think the contents of that small bottle are? It's you. Even if you give me ten cabbages, this girl may not be willing to give you a small bottle."
"What?" Walnut wanted to put away the spiritual liquid, but when he heard what Mr. Qian said, he was too scared to take it.
How much is the value of something that cannot be bought with one hundred thousand taels of silver?
"Look at your potential, old man, I'm really blind, so I let you serve me by my side." Mr. Qian snorted, his stomach growled, and he hurriedly covered his stomach and went to the clean room.
Let us say that after Bai Ling left Qian's Mansion, he first went to deliver a New Year's gift to Mr. Bai Xiaoshan, sat there for a while, then went to Shopkeeper Shen, and finally went to Tongjitang Pharmacy.
Bai Ling was used to entering through the main door. As soon as he entered the hospital, he noticed that something was wrong. There was only a little boy in front, but he wanted to reach out to the backyard.
"Brother, what's going on?" When Bai Ling saw this, he asked curiously and then felt rude and said: "If it's inconvenient for Mr. Chen and Uncle Chen, I will put the things down and give them to them in the next year." Happy New Year."
"It's Miss Bai." When the waiter saw it was Bai Ling, he lowered his voice and said, "Oh! It's not the natural disaster that caused this, this family is also pitiful..."
The guy talked a lot, but Bai Ling only noticed what he said about the owner of the family whose surname was Liu, who also came south from Wufu Town a few years ago.
"Hey, Miss Bai, your things are yours." Before the waiter could finish his words, he saw Bai Ling running to the backyard and shouted hurriedly.
But Bai Ling couldn't care about the things at the moment. Seeing this, the waiter had no choice but to put the things on the counter first to avoid losing them later.
Bai Ling ran to the backyard, not rushing forward, but listening to the people in the yard talking.
"My mother-in-law, do you think that our Liu family is dead? My second child is still there, and the two children cannot live without their mother. How can you marry your daughter-in-law to another family again?" The old lady was so angry that she said, He held on to the doorframe while talking, but couldn't curse.
"Bah, your second son is almost dead. I will take my daughter away just a few days earlier. You should write the divorce letter as soon as possible. I won't want the money I borrowed from our family." The old lady in law looked gracious.
"Mom, I can't go back with you. Erlang can still be saved, so I'll find a way to borrow money. Please don't force me." The young woman knelt on the ground and begged.
"Borrow money? Where did you go to borrow it? Your old Liu family sold everything when they left, and those poor relatives also borrowed money, right? By the way, you also have a sister-in-law. I heard that the family you married into is quite good. If you are rich, I don't want to see the old Liu family anymore. Can you borrow the money? Now give me a happy word, either return the money to me today, or come home with me to get married."
The old woman said sarcastically, looking down on others.
"Grandma, don't take my mother away. I sold myself to be a girl, and I will return the money to my mother." A little girl with a sallow complexion ran out of the house, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"My poor daughter, even if I sell my mother, I can't sell you!" the young woman cried.
"Bah, the whole family has lost its star." The old lady sighed, and went to pull the young woman away, "Hurry up, that means Mr. Huang still misses you, otherwise you are a woman who has given birth to several children. Who can
Why don’t you ask for it! If you marry into the Huang family, you’ll be rich and drink spicy food. Isn’t that better than following this poor family?”
"If I don't leave, even if I die, I will still be a ghost of the Liu family and Erlang's wife." The young woman broke away from the old woman's hand and said with a decisive look on her face: "If mother wants to force me to death, then the girl will give up her life."
I will give it back to my mother. When my son grows up, he will definitely return the few taels of silver to his mother."
With that said, the young woman hit the wall, frightening everyone.
Bai Ling hurriedly ran forward, but she stood too far away and couldn't save anyone.
Ah Feng cleverly rushed forward and blocked the young woman with his body. He bared his teeth and shouted when he was hit, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I said to you, woman, our doctor is kind-hearted, treats your men, and allows you to go out and collect money. Why are you still seeking death in my hospital? If someone died, wouldn't this be a scam?"
Feng was in pain from being hit, and his tone of voice was not good when he spoke.
The young woman fell to the ground, crying silently, desperate.
The Liu family hurriedly went over to help the person up, and everyone was very angry. The old man said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, we will definitely repay the money. I will sign a note for you now. If we can't pay it back within a year, we will
The whole family will sell themselves into slavery, and we will never let your Chen family's money go to waste."
"Hmph, who knows where I will find you in a year. Anyway, if I don't pay back the money today, I will give it to you, or I will report it to the official." The old woman glanced at the young woman and still insisted.
"Reporter? Does your family run the Yamen?" Bai Ling sneered and walked forward with his hands behind his back.
The old woman saw that Bai Ling was well-dressed but didn't have many jewelry on her head. She couldn't guess who Bai Ling was, so she said with little confidence: "It is natural for the government to pay back debts and the government can't just ignore it."
"Just now this aunt said that she owed your family a few taels of silver. I have ten taels of silver. You can take it. Don't trouble this family again in the future, otherwise it will be blackmail. If you dare to take advantage of this aunt, her husband will
It’s okay for your family to accuse you of abducting and selling women from good families.”
Bai Ling casually took out a ten-tael silver coin and threw it towards the old woman.
"I don't want the money. I don't want my daughter to suffer. I want to take her to a good life. Who wants you to meddle in your own business?" The old woman looked at the money with greed in her eyes, but thinking of the money collected at home, she insisted on taking the young woman with her.
leave.
Bai Ling sneered, turned to look at the young woman, and asked softly:
"Auntie, you must have heard clearly that your mother is not trying to embarrass you just to get money, but she wants you to live a life of gold and silver with a rich man. You have to think clearly.
Should you stay with your poor husband and live a hard life, or should you listen to your mother?"
"I am already Erlang's wife. I will be Erlang's person all my life, and I will be Erlang's ghost even if I die!" the young woman cried.
"But your mother won't be willing to accept it. She doesn't even want ten taels of silver. She may have received a lot of benefits from that family. If you don't agree to go with her, I'm sure she will come and make trouble, and your husband's family will too.
I won’t be able to live in peace because of you, unless..."
Hearing Bai Lingtong stop talking, the young woman subconsciously asked: "Unless what?"
"Unless you can be ruthless enough to sever ties with your mother's family, she will act like a monster every three days and you will be angry to death. These ten taels of silver are used to pay off the debt, and the rest is regarded as your repayment for raising her.
Okay, that's enough." Bai Ling said without any emotion.
In ancient times, women had a low status in the family. Ordinary families did not have much expenses and received a lot of betrothal gifts. People like the old woman would never be willing to give more dowries and would never lose money on marrying a daughter. (To be continued)
