Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 557
Mrs. Wang was also angry, and slapped him on the face: "Money, Qianqian, didn't you take away all the money? If you pay 100 taels, everyone will starve to death and freeze to death here.

Shen Zuorong looked rascal: "Then let's all freeze to death together. Anyway, if I don't win back the tens of thousands of taels I lost before, I don't want to live anymore."

"Mother, I'm afraid that brother's gambling addiction can't be changed, why not chop off his fingers." Shen Yunlai's face was fierce, it really didn't look like a joke.

Yufen also said angrily, "His legs were broken too, let's see if he can still run outside."

Mrs. Wang narrowed her triangular eyes, "It hurts to have your finger chopped off, and you have to spend money to treat a broken leg~~ You can kill it directly."
Shen Zuorong was shocked, "Don't, don't, don't do it, I say, I say!"

Scared by Mrs. Wang and the others, Shen Zuorong told him that Shen Weiwei still owed him 5000 taels of silver, but he left in a hurry last time and did not tell Shen Weiwei where to send the money.

After hearing Shen Zuorong's words, everyone was very depressed.

They don't have any money, and they are all hungry. If they are in the countryside, they can ask their neighbors to borrow some rice, but they are not familiar with the place in the capital, and no one will take care of them if they starve to death.

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, "Why don't you borrow money from Shen Yuan? She was raised by me." Just now she was busy playing around, but she didn't see Shen Yuan and Shen Xingwang watching.

Shen Yunlai: "Mother, the county magistrate signed a contract when he let us out. He dared to mess around in the capital before arresting us."

"Then, what should we do? We can't starve to death here, can we?"
"Why don't you go to Tianxia Commercial Firm?" Yufen picked at the big mole on the top of her mouth, "Didn't Shen Xingwang go to Beijing? He must work in Tianxia Commercial Firm. He has a good heart. Ask him to borrow a hundred taels." Shouldn't be a problem."

"Yes, yes, yes, ask him to borrow it, and he will definitely borrow it." Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up, and she sent Shen Yunlai to Tianxia Commercial Firm.

But when I went to Tianxia Commercial Bank and asked, Shen Xingwang was not there, and no one knew where Shen Xingwang lived. Shen Yunlai was so hungry that he had to ask his friends to come to the restaurant to beg for some food, and took two bites for each of them.

The family was sitting there not knowing what to do when they heard a familiar voice. "May I ask if Shen Zuorong lives here?"

"Yingying?" Daohua and Shen Yunlai stood up awkwardly.

Mrs. Wang, Yufen, and Shen Zuorong were all ecstatic.Shen Yingying was working as a maidservant beside Shen Weiwei, since she was able to find it here, it could only mean one thing, she came here to send money!
"Hey, Yufen~~" Seeing everyone walking out of the house, Shen Zuorong hurriedly called to stop Yufen, "Hurry up and let me go, otherwise all the money our daughter sent will go to Shen Yunlai."

Yufen knew a lot about gamblers, and spat: "Do you still want to take this money? Get rid of it." The gambler saw how crazy the money was, and she had seen it too much from her father, and Shen Zuorong couldn't help it. she.

Outside the house, Shen Yingying and Shen Xiaoli came in carrying their bags.

With money in hand, Shen Weiwei planned to give away the remaining [-] taels of silver, and Shen Yingying and Shen Xiaoli refused to stay in the East Palace any longer, so Shen Weiwei tried to get them out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, she inquired about Shen Zuorong's whereabouts from Mrs. Qian, and found it here.

Seeing Mrs. Wang, Shen Yunlai, Daohua and others coming out to welcome them, Shen Yingying and Shen Xiaoli cried and rushed forward.

After crying for a while, I went into the room and sat talking.

Shen Yingying looked at the dilapidated house with air leaks everywhere, and said strangely: "Why do you live in this dilapidated place? Didn't I still live in a big mansion when I left the palace last time?" When she said this, there was an ominous premonition in her heart. Could it be that he All father's money was cheated by that woman named Du Juan?
Everyone was sullen and didn't speak.

It took Yufen a while to whisper: "Your father gambled away all that money."

"What?" Shen Yingying's face turned green with anger, "It's a total of thirty-five thousand taels of silver, and my father gambled it all away?"

Daohua snorted softly, "Isn't it? Even the few hundred taels we brought to Beijing were stolen by him, and he lost it all."

"I still think I haven't lost enough, so I'm looking for money everywhere to gamble." Shen Yunlai answered angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zuorong roared from the next room, "Shen Yingying, are you here to give money? Hurry up and give the money to your father, or I will go to the gate of the palace to beat the gongs and drums, and expose the fact that Shen Weiwei is a fake princess." Break, let's finish playing together."
Shen Yingying was trembling with anger, thinking that with 5 taels of silver, she could buy yards and shops, and live a prosperous life as a young lady. She never thought that her father would lose everything.

Now I only have 5000 taels in my hand, how is it enough? If I knew it earlier, I would have stayed in the palace and asked Shen Weiwei for more money.

Seeing Shen Zuorong yelling non-stop, Shen Yunlai said angrily: "Yufen, why don't you stop that gambler's mouth? Let others hear it and it's over."

"Oh, I see." Yufen's complexion changed, she tore off a rag and went to the next room.

Finally quiet, you can talk.

"Yingying, Xiaoli, why are you both out of the palace?" Mrs. Wang looked at them strangely, "It can't be that Weiwei is so filial and sent you out to visit us after knowing that we have entered Beijing?"

"Filial piety? Do you still expect her to be filial? She has gone to patronize her own glory and wealth, and has long forgotten you." Shen Yingying rolled her eyes to the sky.

Shen Xiaoli answered from the side: "We have come out of the palace, so we don't need to enter the palace anymore."

"Why did you come out? Isn't it good in the palace?" Mrs. Wang looked puzzled.

"Grandma, do you really think it's easy to stay in the palace? Look at our hands?" Shen Yingying said angrily, pulling Shen Xiaoli to hold out her hand.

Ever since Xia Luoluo transferred them away from Shen Weiwei, they were sent to the clothes washing bureau, washing clothes in cold water every day in winter, and their hands were covered with frostbite and pus.

Shen Yingying said aggrievedly: "Do you think we are masters like Shen Weiwei? We are servants in the palace, who will treat you as a human being? If you are careless, you will be beaten and scolded. I have never been treated like that when I grow up." Sin." After speaking, she wiped away her tears.

"I feel sorry for the dead mother, daughter, you have suffered." Yufen pulled Shen Yingying into her arms, and cried along with her.

After crying, he took the box that Shen Yingying hid under the cloak, and said to Mrs. Wang and Shen Yunlai, "Mother, Yongming Daohua, my two daughters are working as cows and horses in the palace. We have to share more money." Bar?'
Shen Yunlai immediately became furious when he heard this, and rushed over to snatch the box.

"That dead gambler in your family has lost more than 3 taels, and you still want to share the rest? Thank you for being able to say it."

Yufen was willing to say, "The money belongs to my daughter. I can share with you as much as I want. Give me the box!"
