Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 56

"Father, what's the use of beating him? Anyway, things have already happened, forget it, let it be like this. Anyway, Yunyi doesn't know what to say for that little brat to study. There is no need to study now, just right, and no need Make Yun Yi difficult."

"What's the embarrassment? I'm embarrassing now." Du Chensheng glared at Du Yunnian fiercely, wishing he could eat him up, "How dare you borrow 30 taels of silver from others? Do you know that the coffin of your mother and I Not even 30 taels? If you can't sell Sister Ling, what are you going to do?"

"I didn't borrow 30 taels, I only borrowed 15 taels, and the casino directly doubled it and asked me to pay 30 taels." Speaking of this, Du Yunian was also reluctant and desperate.

"What's going on here, please tell me in detail." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Niu hurriedly asked.

15 taels and 30 taels are not a concept at all.Even if you sell Du Fangling and pay back 15 taels, the family can still leave another 15 taels, right?
Du Yunnian told the second elder what happened.

Niu said angrily: "This casino is too unscrupulous. Originally, it only owed 15 taels. How could it be doubled and 30 taels should be paid back? This matter is totally unreasonable!"

Du Chensheng was thoughtful.

Seeing this, Mrs. Niu hurriedly asked Du Chensheng: "Old man, what good idea do you have?"

Du Chensheng glared at her, and said angrily, "What good idea can I have?"

Seeing that he had no idea, Mrs. Niu came up with his own idea: "Look, why don't you go to Yun Yi and let him think of a way to reduce the 15 taels? Since we owe 15 taels in Yunnian, we owe 15 taels. I also admit it, so I will pay back 15 taels. As for the other [-] taels, that is not what we should pay back. Why should we double it? Even if we sue the old officials and lords, we are justified. Yun Yi can’t do it, let’s ask Yun Chang to write a Post it to the county magistrate and let him comment on it for us."

Du Chensheng laughed angrily at her ignorant words: "The casino relies on this to make a living, how can anyone just say a few words, and he will give up the money? You know who can afford to gamble?" Who is it? The kind that can take both black and white, with backers, even the magistrate would not dare to touch casually. Just relying on Yunyi as an accountant and Yunchang as an ordinary scholar, they will offend you Man, you think beautifully."

Du Chensheng had worked as an accountant in the city for more than 20 years, so he was naturally familiar with these things. Niu believed it as soon as he heard it, and said worriedly: "Could it be that we just admit it, and really pay them 30 taels of silver?"

Du Chensheng thought for a while, and made up his mind: "Well, Yunnian and I will go to the city tomorrow to inquire and see if the casino can be accommodating. If we can pay back some money, that would be great. It doesn't matter when the time comes. How much money do you want to pay back, you should take it out and pay it back first, let’s get over this hurdle first.”

He paused: "Let's do that first."

Niu's eyes widened: "What? You mean, let's pay the 30 taels of silver? This is our coffin book. Do you want to die so that you can't even get a coffin? No, what am I talking about with this money? You can't even pick it up." As she said that, she patted Du Yunian hard, "If you have the ability to owe money, go and settle it yourself, don't look for me or your father."

She not only has 30 taels on hand, but also 50 taels.But the money is in her pocket, so don't expect her to take it out.

Du Yunnian held his head and received a slap from his mother, but he looked at his father eagerly.

Du Chensheng sighed, and said patiently: "Old lady, this is only temporary, you take out the money for the time being. The time is tight, and it will be time to pay back the money soon. Even if you want to sell Sister Ling, this far away water can't save you from the near thirsty." , can't solve the problem. Do you know that the casino has a group of thugs who come to ask for debts. If you don't pay back the money, you will come to the door, not only the money but also the money, and our family's face will be lost. .So, pay back the money first. After the New Year, when the elders are gone, let's think of a way to see whether to promise Sister Fei or sell Sister Ling."

Du Fangling outside the window originally heard Du Chensheng tell Niu to bring out the silver, and he had some hope in his heart, but now, his heart sank suddenly, and his face became pale and pale.

Afraid that she would stay here any longer, Du Jinning would be discovered by her gaffe, so she gently tugged at her sleeves, shook her head, and signaled her to go back to the room with him.

Du Fangling nodded.

Du Jinning made a silent gesture again, then got up first, tiptoed around, and rushed back to the window of the third room.She turned her head and saw Du Fangling quietly following behind her, she felt relieved, went to the window, helped her to the window sill, turned herself over again, and entered the room.

"How is it? Did you hear anything?" Seeing the two of them coming back, Mrs. Chen hurried forward.

Earlier, Du Jinning told about Du Yunnian's debts, and when he heard the commotion in the courtyard outside, he dragged Du Fangling to the corner to listen.Seeing that the two of them had returned safely, my heart was finally relieved.

"Mother, grandfather and grandmother agreed to sell Third Sister." Du Jinning said with an ugly face.

Although Du Yunnian didn't say clearly what he was selling to Fucheng, but thinking about it, he knew that 30 taels of silver, such a price could only be sold to a brothel, and it was a relatively high-end brothel Chuguan, otherwise he would not have specially selected it. Go to Du Fangling instead of Du Fangfei.

Her gaze cooled.

Chen's face turned pale, and she looked at the trembling Du Fangling. She gritted her teeth and asked Du Jinning, "Should I send your third sister away overnight?"

This sentence is a questioning tone.Everything that Du Jinning showed made her unconsciously regard her as the backbone.

"Where are you going to send it?" Du Jinning asked, "Without the third sister, wouldn't they sell the eldest sister? The eldest sister and the third sister are not here, and there is still the fourth sister."

The reason why Du Yunnian took a fancy to Du Fangling was because of her development space.Du Fanghui's appearance is no worse than Du Fangling's. Although he is two years younger, at most it's just a few taels of silver less, which doesn't affect Du Yunnian's repayment of debts.

"Then, what should we do?" Chen muttered.

She is not the kind of cowardly woman who has no idea, but she really can't help it.

"Don't worry, grandpa plans to use their money to pay off the debt first, and wait until the new year to discuss the matter of selling people. Probably because we are afraid that we will make trouble, and the new year will be uneasy." Du Jinning said, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth .

"They have money? Why would they sell us if they have money?" Du Fanghui asked most innocently, with big eyes in confusion.

Despite the cruel answer, Du Fangfei still smiled bitterly and patted her sister's head: "Because they are reluctant to part with money, and we are nothing in their eyes."

Du Fanghui was silent.
