If you don't work hard to farm the fields, you will inherit the throne with the prince.

Chapter 7 Creditors come to the door
As soon as the third son of the Xie family heard this, he cleverly guessed what Xie Yunli meant.

"Qi Ye, I'll sell you ten mu of mountain land, three mu of paddy fields and the old house together, ten taels of silver, how about it?"

The youngest son of the Xie family opened his mouth wide, completely startling Xie Mingzhu.

On the way here, Xie Yunli said everything, Xie Lao San's family, the location of the paddy field is good, and the paddy field plus the house, only in twos and threes.

Even if you add ten acres of forest, the price will not suddenly increase to ten taels.

"Third, if you are not sincere, then don't talk about it."

Xie Yunli said to Xie Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, let's go, let's go back."

Seeing that Xie Yunli and his party were about to leave, the youngest Xie stopped in front of Xie Yunli and boasted: "Seventh Master, my house is all made of good materials. Besides, my yard is also three-dimensional. You are ten taels, not much, or, look at this, we are all acquaintances, you can just give me nine taels, and I will give you all the things in this house."

"Third son, don't talk about nine taels in your house, but three taels, I have to think about it."

As soon as Xie Yunli's words came out, the youngest Xie became anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Qi Ye, what else are you thinking about?"

"You said that your branch was so prosperous in the past, but now it is like this. Is it because the house is not well feng shui?"

It is impossible for Xie Yunli to buy Xie Laosan's house with nine taels.

It's not that he can't bear the money, but that it's not worth it.

"If you don't believe me, go out and ask, who in the whole village is willing to buy your house?"

Hearing what Xie Yunli said, Xie Lao San couldn't help but began to wonder if his house really had bad Feng Shui?

Xie Yunli is well versed in the business of buying and selling, so he can't be in a hurry, he has to beg Xie Laosan so that he can bargain.

His expression didn't reveal half of his determination that he wanted this house.

"Mingzhu, you and Qin Che go to the stream for a walk."

Xie Mingzhu knew that Xie Yunli had something to say to Xie Laosan, so she left the courtyard with Qin Che knowingly.

Just now Xie Mingzhu just glanced at it casually, and felt that if the price is right, this house can be bought.

As for feng shui, Xie Mingzhu felt that she was backed by Lord Yan, so she was not afraid.

"Qin Che, how are you doing?"

The two arrived at the stream, and the water was crystal clear.

When the breeze blows, bamboo leaves will fall to the surface of the stream.

The sun was very strong at this time, and Xie Mingzhu was worried that she would get sunburned, so she sat on a stone in the shade by the stream to rest.

"I think it's fine."

When Xie Mingzhu heard this, she was also delighted and said: "I also think, I just glanced at it, the house is pretty clean, there are no weeds in the gaps between the stone slabs, just a little repair, the house is by the stream, It is also convenient to do laundry.”

Qin Che worried: "Lady, we bought a house, what will they do with the whole family?"

If the whole family had nowhere to go, even the kind-hearted Qin Che couldn't do it.

Xie Mingzhu didn't know what to do. The key was that she didn't have any money. If she had money, she could keep the mother and daughter.

It's really hard for a penny to beat a hero!
Suddenly, Xie Mingzhu was attracted by the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest by the stream.

Carrying the hem of her skirt, she walked into the bamboo forest and looked at the bamboo shoots carefully.

These bamboo shoots can be eaten.

Qin Che looked at Xie Mingzhu squatting in front of the bamboo shoots, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"Do you think it can be eaten?"

Xie Mingzhu knew that the bamboo shoots belonged to the third family of Xie, and it was absolutely impossible for her to break them by hand right now.

She stretched out her hand and touched the tips of the bamboo shoots, then said to Qin Che, "Qin Che, can you lend me those silver coins?"

"it is good."

Xie Mingzhu was overjoyed and said, "Then tell me, what age is it now?"

Qin Che and Xie Mingzhu, who was squatting in the bamboo forest, described the current situation in detail.

Through Qin Che's narration, Xie Mingzhu probably knew that she was in a strange dynasty.

Here, the salt is official salt, and the price is very expensive.

Brown sugar, white sugar, and soy sauce are not available yet.

Spices, medicinal materials, etc. are even more expensive.

Based on the historical knowledge learned by Xie Mingzhu, this dynasty is probably between the Qin and Han Dynasties, or it is a dynasty that does not exist in history at all.

"Thank you third!"

"Thank you third!"

A group of strangers rushed into Xie Laosan's yard with sticks.

"Qin Che, wait for me here, I'll go and see my parents."

Seeing this posture, Xie Mingzhu knew that the debtor was coming.

She was afraid that these debtors would accidentally hurt her parents, so she rushed over with her skirts in her hands, regardless of her ladylike image.

"Thank you, old man, pay back the money!"

The leader was bare-armed, and looked at Xie Laosan fiercely.

Xie Lao San knew that this man was a thug of the casino, so he didn't dare to choke, so he could only apologize and said with a smile: "I'm trying to find a way to raise money."

"When are you going to raise money? I think it's better to use your mother-in-law to pay off the debt!"

When Xie Laosan heard it, his face was full of joy.

"How much is that worth?"

"50 coppers."

Xie Lao San bargained: "Can you pay more? My wife is very capable!"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and bring five taels of silver, otherwise, we will chop off your hand..."

Xie Laosan asked in shock: "Why only five taels?"

"Today is five taels, and tomorrow it will be more than five taels. By then, you won't be able to sell your wives and children..."

Xie Laosan pulled Taohua and her mother away, and said to the casino: "Then I'll sell both of these mothers to you, take a look..."

"Xie Lao San, you are crazy!" Zhao quickly stopped.

Xie Yunli also frowned in disapproval.

Xie Mingzhu couldn't help but rejoice that in the era she lived in, selling a wife or a daughter was punishable by imprisonment, so such "dirty" things didn't happen.

"Qi Ye, this is my family business, please leave it alone."

The man in the casino looked lewdly at the Tao mother and his wife, and said, "Then we have to inspect the goods first!"

Xie Lao San knows what "inspection" means, he said with a shy face, "Please..."

"I do not!"

The Taohua mother and daughter uttered miserable screams.

The youngest Xie was in a bad mood when he was asked for debts, but now he punched and kicked Taohua Niang and his wife.

The thug stopped and said: "If it is broken, the price will be lower."

Xie Lao San then looked at the Taohua girls fiercely, "spit", and cursed: "If it weren't for your two mothers who are the bastards, I would lose the game in one bet?"

The thug winked.

The two attendants walked up to his mother Taohua and forcibly pulled his mother Taohua to enter the house!

"stop!"

Xie Mingzhu could no longer control herself and stood in front of the three of them.

"Get out of my mother's way!"

Xie Mingzhu looked at the obviously malnourished Tao Hua Niang, and said hoarsely, "Let her go!"

Zhao Shi and Xie Yunli were afraid that their daughter would be bullied, so they hurriedly walked in front of Xie Mingzhu, stood beside Xie Mingzhu one on the left and one on the right, and supported Xie Mingzhu with practical actions.

The thugs didn't care about Xie Mingzhu and the three of them, they just said to Xie Laosan in a dark and sad manner: "What's the matter with you?"

Xie Lao San took a deep breath and cursed: "Xie Mingzhu, this is my housework, so please don't meddle in my own business..."
