Chapter 13 Brother and Sister
When the crowd of onlookers heard Mrs. Li's words, they immediately stepped back.

Who doesn't know that the natal nephew raised by Mrs. Li's family is an idiot, Mrs. Li's life is good to marry, her husband opened a butcher shop in Qianjie, Anfu Hutong, and has made a lot of money over the years.

Mrs. Li's natal family has only one elder brother. A few years ago when the dam burst, both husband and wife died in the flood. Only Mrs. Li's nephew was left. This nephew was brought home by Mrs. Li since she was a child I have raised it.

Because when he was born, this nephew couldn't cry or laugh, and he looked stupid.

Doctors said, I'm afraid it's a bad person.

Sure enough, the older you get, the more stupid you become. As the age increases little by little, the legs and feet are still regressing and inflexible, and they were completely paralyzed in bed a few years ago.

Qin Wan's appearance, looking at Anfu Hutong, there is no other woman who can compare with Qin Wan.

To put it bluntly, just that pretty and dignified appearance in the coldness, placed in Yanliu Lane, is also the most resounding number one.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Li had Qin Wan's idea when she let the siblings live here.

Everyone also knew that what Mrs. Li said was always the only one in ten words was true. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were pitiful, they didn't want to become Mrs. Li's accomplice and embarrass the poor siblings.

"You're talking nonsense!" Qin Wan shrank behind her brother in a green shirt, but when she saw Mrs. Li turning things upside down, she took a trembling step away, bit her lips tightly, and looked up at Mrs. Li.

Possessed with one hand on the bluestone floor, Granny Li stood up slowly with her feet, and said coldly, "Today, if we can't pay the rent owed to my old lady, then let's go to the government and ask the officials to judge!"

"It's their fault that they owe you the rent, but how can you talk nonsense, you mother-in-law? Just now you obviously didn't say that you were only in arrears with the rent for more than ten days, why are you turning the truth upside down now?"

After watching the play for a long time, Song Jinyue felt a little tired and wanted to go back home.Only then did he stand up to comment, after all, he was surrounded by the crowd right now.

Qin Wan and her brother Qiqi turned their heads to look at her.

Seeing Song Jinyue's whole body attire, Mrs. Li wondered, when did the two brothers and sisters have such friendly friends?No, if it's a friend, why did you show up now?The two brothers and sisters have been in the capital for a full year, and she has never seen anyone visit the two brothers and sisters.

Afraid of being a spectator?
Mrs. Li chuckled twice, and said sharply, "Are you trying to stand up for them?"

Song Jinyue smiled without saying a word.

Mrs. Li clicked her tongue twice, "The two brothers and sisters owe me ten taels of rent, pay the money with one hand, and let him go with the other hand!"

When Song Jinyue heard this, she was actually amused.

"I don't know how the twelve taels are calculated?"

She also knows a thing or two about the rent in Anfu Hutong.

Once in the courtyard, the rent is only one or two taels a year, and the imperial court alone gives each family in Anfu Hutong a tax rebate of [-] cash every year.

"My one-year rent for entering the hospital is ten taels!" Mrs. Li glanced at Song Jinyue, her heart was not in vain, and she opened her mouth.

Song Jinyue couldn't hold back, and chuckled softly, "Do you mean to rob?"

"Aunt Li, we have signed a contract, and the rent is one or two taels of silver a year!" It can't be blocked either.

Song Jinyue looked at the young man, and was a little puzzled for a while, maybe this is some down-and-out young lady?

She carefully recalled her previous life, but there was no trace of the two brothers and sisters.

"Qin Sheng, my old lady doesn't know a single word. Why don't I remember when I signed the contract with you? We made a verbal agreement at the beginning, and the world is the proof. You child, seeing that my old woman is getting old, you think my old woman is good." Can't you bully?"

Mrs. Li yelled at Qin Sheng angrily with a pale face. Qin Wan seemed to be frightened, she shrank her neck and hid behind her brother, her head drooping very low.

Song Jinyue's heart ached when she saw it.

In the previous and present lives, she was born in the Duke's mansion with gold and jade soft pillows. She was the most distinguished lady in the capital, and it was the first time she saw the suffering in the world.

A heart of pity and compassion arose in my heart.

Song Jinyue waved her hand, stopping the anxious Poet Li who was about to growl again.

"Twelve taels, I'll pay, and they will have no more disputes with you!"

Mrs. Li crossed her arms and laughed mockingly, "It's good to be handsome, and there will be a young lady coming to give money soon!"

One sentence made Qin Sheng so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in.

He has read poetry and books, how has he ever suffered such humiliation?

She blushed in embarrassment, not knowing how to refute for a while.

Qiu Yun made a vigorous gesture to rush forward to argue with Mrs. Li, but was stopped by her own lady.

Song Jinyue shook her head slightly, and signaled Qiu Yun to take the ten taels of silver to Mrs. Li.

Even though she was unwilling, Qiu Yun still took out a purse embroidered with red bean cakes from her bosom, took out ten taels of silver, and threw it at Granny Li's feet.

Mrs. Li glared at Qiu Yun, and saw that the white taels of silver fell on the dilapidated bluestone pavement, and a group of people surrounded her, for fear that others would rob her of the silver.

Hastily leaned over to pick up the silver ingot, weighed it in his hand, and brought it to his lips to show a mouthful of silver teeth, and bit the silver ingot fiercely.

She frowned slightly in pain, and then put the silver ingot into her arms with satisfaction.

For a while, he didn't have the time to think about Qin Wan again.

After getting the silver, she began to dislike Qin Wan for being weak, fearing that she would become a burden to her nephew. With these ten taels of silver, she might not be able to tell her nephew a daughter-in-law!

"You follow me out of here first." Song Jinyue glanced at the siblings.

The two were grateful in their hearts, and following behind Song Jinyue, the crowd gave way to a passage, and they slowly walked out of Anfu Hutong.

After leaving Anfu Hutong and walking to the bustling long street, Song Jinyue stopped and looked back at the two brothers and sisters.

Seeing that they have no place to stay, just now I heard that Qin Sheng still has to take part in this imperial examination.

Turning her head to look at Qiu Yun beside her, she asked, "Qiu Yun, how much money do you have?"

Qiu Yun pursed her lips, and shook the purse that had bottomed out in front of the lady, the twelve taels just now were all her belongings!

On weekdays, I always go out of the house in a carriage, and I never bring too much money with me.

Song Jinyue was in a difficult situation, how could she arrange for these two brothers and sisters without any money?
Qin Sheng saw her embarrassment and looked at Qin Wan. The brother and sister exchanged glances and thanked Song Jinyue.

Qin Sheng said slowly, "Miss, when we brothers and sisters earn money in the future, we will definitely return it to you. Right now, we will take our leave first."

Song Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Where can these two people go for refuge if they are penniless?

I thought I misunderstood her meaning, and explained: "Save people to the end, I don't have any money with me right now, but I can still arrange a place for you to stay, don't be too polite, and it won't be too late to pay me back when you go to high school in the future. "

She just said it casually, but when Qin Sheng heard this, seeing her approval of him, the haze that was suppressing in his heart was swept away in an instant, and a clear light shone in his eyes.
