Poor family rebirth girl

Chapter 22 Another Transaction (2)

There was silence in the woodshed.

No one expected Su Ya to have such strong hands.

After a short period of silence, the woman groaned, got up and threw herself on Su Ya, but Xue Jun rushed forward and hugged her desperately.

Su Ya pinched the soft tendons of Mrs. Xue Ergui, and pushed her onto Xue Ergui, "You framed Uncle Liu and sent him to the county government jail, do you really think that you have done a perfect job? Honestly, Uncle Liu, I didn't So easy to bully."

Xue Ergui's steel fork almost poked live flesh, and the second wife Xue couldn't stand still after being pinched, and the two panicked for a while.

However, Su Ya sneered and pointed at them: "Let's make the matter bigger now. It's best to report to the officials and let the county government see: Xiaojun not only didn't eat, drink, or take any wound medicine under your hands, but also What kind of uncles are you if you want to touch the soles of your shoes in exchange for money?"

She made a gesture to push open the broken window of the firewood room, "You guys have a reputation for eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. You offend people, don't you? I don't believe I can't find a witness! My Uncle Liu is righteous. You were sent to prison, is there any little Jiujiu here?"

"What do you want to do?" Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Xue stood firm, she asked in a sharp voice when she saw her movements, and strode over to press the window lattice.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Su Ya's eyes.

She has been observing the expressions of the two of them, and saw that although they were aggressive from the moment they entered the door, they kept their voices down on purpose and did not make a scene even after being slapped. This is not their nature.

"What are you doing?" she said, "Naturally calling for witnesses, we will go to the county government right away, and we will definitely convict you of abusing your nephew and falsely accusing good people!"

"Where are you going?" Xue Ergui glared, and raised the steel fork again, "Try to see if you can get out of this room!"

"You want to kill someone?"

Su Ya sneered, "I'm not an anonymous person now, but you can kill me if you want!"

Xue Ergui and the two of them didn't know her reality, so they couldn't continue acting for a while, and they froze there.

Standing close, Mrs. Xue had a pungent smell of low-quality incense powder. Su Ya breathed out quietly, feeling a little anxious in her heart.

The light in the firewood room is not as dim as before, the sky is getting brighter, Huai'an City is about to light up the smoke.

In order to avoid Shen Huai, she chose to go out in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, accidents happened one after another, so that she was dragged to this moment. When Yan Shi gets up early and cooks, people who can't see her must be anxious, and there is no guarantee that new troubles will arise. .

"Stop acting here, just tell me what you think!" She simply put the key point on the table, "Looking at what you have done, you have already regarded Xiaojun as a burden. You failed to blackmail Uncle Liu a few days ago. Now, don't you?" Some regrets?"

She squinted at Xue Er with an extremely disdainful expression, "I heard that your elder brother took good care of you when he was alive, and they know it well. If they knew how you treat Xiaojun now, would they come back to look for you?"

Xue Ergui's veins twitched from what she said, and the steel fork was lifted up again, but Mrs. Xue turned around and hugged the man's arm. She seemed to pinch her hand hard, and she turned to Su Ya and said, "You have a sharp mouth and teeth, don't you?" We, Xue Jun, how can we live so long? It is not so easy for us to let you go today!"

"Oh, how can it be easier?" Su Ya asked.

The woman's eyes rolled, "I pulled out shit and shit, fed him and taught him how to do things. Now that his wings are stiff, you all come to pick up ready-made labor one by one? It's my fault that I can't do it." eat."

"Yes, it's easy to take him away, just take the money!" Xue Ergui added in a strange way.

Su Ya sneered unabashedly, just these two idiots, who have held on to their kinship for so many years and bullied the weak, no one cares about them.

She pointed at Xue Jun's leg, "You still need money? This leg was broken by you, and you won't get medical money if it is cured? It has been delayed for so long, and it is not known whether it can be restored to the past. A little cripple, you just send it out and sell it." , probably won’t be sold.”

Xue Jun supported the wall behind and felt uncomfortable. Sister Su Ya said the truth, but it was too true.

A little cripple will become a big cripple in a few years, and he doesn't have the skills of Liu cripple. This labor force who can still get money at home will be thrown into his hands, and there is probably no way to survive.

Xue Jun hooked his head, hunched his back, supported his injured leg with his hanging hand, and crouched under the broken wall. There was really no market for buying or selling.

Xue Ergui and his wife looked at each other, "You can take it away, at least I have to settle Xue Jun's food and clothing expenses for these years!"

Su Ya remained calm and asked, "How much?"

"A total of 100 taels of silver."

Su Ya really laughed. She works in a bookstore and earns one or two taels of silver a month. As a helper in Zhou’s house, she can earn seven hundred taels of silver a month. In addition, the wives and ladies often give some rewards, adding up to two taels of silver a month. Silver earns no less than ordinary men.

This income is definitely enough for the daily expenses of a family of three, but if you want to save 100 taels, it will take decades.

Xue Ergui opened his mouth loudly. I don't know if he is greedy or stupid, or he really doesn't want to let him go at all?
"Sister Su Ya..."

The young man who was hit by the word "little cripple" murmured. He yearned for freedom in his heart, so he didn't speak just now, thinking that as long as he can get out of the sea of ​​suffering, he will spend the rest of his life as a cow and a horse to pay back Su Ya. kindness.

But the 100 taels of silver obviously shattered his dream, "Sister Su Ya, leave me alone..."

Su Ya then asked him, "I really can't manage such a large amount, Xiaojun, how much do you earn every day doing odd jobs at the dock?"

"I was young and couldn't get unloading jobs. I picked up some scattered things every day, and I could earn about ten yuan. After winter, there were fewer boats going to and from, and I couldn't get chores. I could earn two or three yuan by collecting shoe soles." Xue Jun I was so frustrated that I couldn't stand up.

One thousand Wen is consistent money, and the consistent money is exchanged for one tael of silver.

If Xue Jun can maintain a daily income of ten coins, he can earn one tael of silver in about 20 days, seven taels in two years, and 70 taels in [-] years... and he has to eat or drink.

Su Ya raised her head to Mrs. Xue, and asked, "You guys know how to settle accounts, right? Do the math quickly, how many years is 100 taels enough for Xiaojun to earn? He's crippled, so he probably won't be able to earn any more."

Xue Ergui was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and wanted to say whether he would like to buy it or not, but the mother-in-law turned her head and gave him a wink. He was taken aback and closed his mouth suspiciously.

The second lady Xue turned around, pinched her throat and said: "You can't calculate it like this, and his legs may not be lame. Besides, Xue Jun's dexterity can do many things. In a few years, he will naturally have a way to make a lot of money." ... 80 taels, no less."

"80 taels, enough money for three or four young servants."

But this dynasty does not allow civilians to keep slaves, that is, civilians are not allowed to buy and sell people. Su Ya made some calculations in her heart and said decisively: "30 taels, Xue Jun has nothing to do with you from now on, you have to go to the Yamen to clarify with me, and put Let Uncle Liu out."

"Let's retract the confession? He, Cripple Liu, has always been uneasy and kind, and he deserves it!" Xue Ergui said.

Su Ya refused to budge, and said with a stern face: "I only have this family property, and I still have to borrow it, 30 taels, if it works, I will report to the official and sue your uncles and aunts for being heartless and exploiting your nephew! I know how bad my reputation is, and I can always find witnesses, so naturally I have a way to rescue Uncle Liu."

"Okay!" Xue Ergui's mother-in-law was very forthright, "I'll get the pen and ink and make a written statement."

This family is illiterate, and there is still pen and ink at home?
Su Ya felt a little strange in her heart, but it was dispelled by the crowing of the rooster, so she nodded in agreement.

She didn't bring any money with her, and she was afraid of leaving Xue Jun alive again, so she should make a document to take him away.

After a while, the woman came back, holding a bald pen and a piece of linen in her hand: "Just write on the linen. There is only such a pen at home, and Xiaobao picked it up outside."

Su Ya looked at the pen, and it was as bald as a bald chicken's butt. This... just treat it as a dead branch, and it's fine if it can be dipped in ink, right?

She reached out to pick it up, but Xue Ergui's mother-in-law threw the sackcloth at Su Ya's face, and a pile of powder wrapped in it flew up and sprinkled on Su Ya's body!
Xue Jun, who was standing behind Su Ya, fell down without saying a word.

Su Ya shook it reluctantly, threw the pen in her hand in a weak arc, and threw herself on the ground with a thud.
