The peasant girl in the apocalypse of natural disaster has space

Chapter 48

Under the persuasion of his family, Song Hailong finally nodded and took Shen Cui and his children to the county market.

"Brother Hai Long, this pearl flower is so beautiful, can you buy it for me?"

"Aunt Shen, your requirements are too low. How can this pearl flower be worthy of you!" Song Jinyue stepped forward and took Shen Cui's arm warmly, "If you want to choose, just pick something good. For example, there !”

Following the direction Song Jinyue pointed, Shen Cui looked over. It was a jewelry shop.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look!"

"But, it's so expensive!"

Shen Cui frowned, she was worried that Song Hailong would not pay for something that was too expensive.

"It's okay, this is what my uncle should buy for you!"

Song Jinyue said, pulling her into the jewelry shop, and secretly smiled at each other with Song Haitao.

Shen Cui entered the jewelry shop and was a little dazzled looking at the various jewelry on the counter.

"This silver hairpin is pretty good!"

Song Jinyue followed her gaze and picked up a silver hairpin, gesturing on her head, "No, it's too plain!"

"This jade bracelet is of good quality!"

Shen Cui thought Song Jinyue saw her feelings, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Uncle, look, does it look good on my hand?"

"Ok!"

Shen Cui's face was ugly, and for a moment she felt that Song Jinyue did it on purpose.

She looked at the bracelet inlaid with red gems again, and just as she stretched it out, Song Haitao stopped her.

"Sister Cui, my old Song family couldn't afford this thing even if they went bankrupt. Girl Jinyue is young, so don't follow her and make mistakes!"

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Look at this bracelet. I think it suits grandma very well!"

Song Jinyue raised her hand and picked up a silver bracelet. The bracelet was a very ancient silver. The bracelet was inlaid with three dark green jade beads the size of fingernails. It was inconspicuous among the jewelry.

"Grandma has worked hard all her life. Now that our life is better, we must be filial to her!"

Song Haitao looked at the bracelet. It was of decent workmanship. It had a flat body and a semi-hollow design. It was engraved with the four characters of happiness, longevity and health, giving it a simple feeling. It was indeed quite suitable for someone of her mother's age.

"Boss, how much does this bracelet cost?"

Song Haitao directly asked the price, thinking that my mother would be very happy when she saw the bracelet. He thought that when his mother and his father got married, they had a few silver jewelry, but later they were pawned to support the family. This time, I have to make up for it. .

"Just three taels of silver!"

Song Haitao paid the money happily, and the uncle and nephew looked at the bracelet. Although the bracelet was not good-looking and only weighed about one tael, it was inlaid with jade.

This piece of jade is very small, but it is still jade, right?
"Uncle, take a closer look and pick out a silver hairpin, earrings, etc. for grandma!"

After keeping the wrapped silver bracelet close to her body, Song Jinyue assigned Song Haitao to the place where she bought earrings.

"You guys hang out, I'll go out and buy some pastries!"

Song Jinyue said something to Song Hailong, then left the jewelry store and found a place where no one was and entered the space.

Take out the bracelet you bought, use iron pliers to pry open the claw on one of the gem holders, remove the gem, replace it with another gemstone of similar color and shape, and then use iron pliers to carefully press down the claws on the gem holder.

After doing all this, she bought two pieces of mung bean cake from the nearby pastry shop and joined everyone.

Even after looking at a few pieces of beloved jewelry, Song Hailong had no intention of paying. Shen Cui finally couldn't bear it. She turned back to look at Song Hailong. Song Hailong looked indifferent. She bit her lip tightly and tried to hold back. cried.

After a day of shopping, a few people happily walked home. Shen Cui felt worried and thought that she would tell Mrs. Song about her grievances soon.

Several people with different thoughts finally arrived home.

The door of Song's house was once again crowded with people, and a group of vicious men rushed into the house and took Old Mrs. Song and others out.

"Tell me, where is Song Hailong?"

The strong man at the head snorted coldly and shook the white paper in his hand. "Old lady, of course we are here to collect debts. Your son owes us money. This is a written receipt!"

Shen Hong looked at the receipt. It clearly stated the year and month when Song Hailong owed a certain bank 1000 taels of silver, and he also put his fingerprints on it. "Either you pay back the money or hand someone over, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Impossible, my son would never do such a thing!"

Mrs. Song looked panicked. She looked at the IOU and her whole body was shaking.

Shen Hong and his wife were also frightened. Looking at the eye-catching characters on the IOU, they felt dizzy.

What should I do? Their Cuicui will marry into the Song family the day after tomorrow.

Song Hailong stepped into the yard, saw the group of people clearly, turned around and ran away.

"Quick, stop him!"

Several strong men reacted quickly and chased after him, knocking Song Hailong to the ground before he could escape.

"Do you still want to run?"

The strong man spat and pulled out the machete from his waist, with a fierce look in his eyes, "I borrowed the money half a month ago, I should pay it back!"

Song Hailong: "Give me a few more days, and I will definitely return it to you."

Mrs. Song still looked unbelieving: "Second brother, what on earth is going on? Half a month ago, weren't you and Haitao looking for work at that time?"

When Song Haitao heard this, he did not explain and just lowered his head.

Seeing his brother's appearance, the onlookers already knew that what this strong man said was true.

Song Hailong looked ashamed, "I, I..."

He told the whole story. When he first moved there, because his family didn't have enough rice to eat, he heard people say that casinos bring in money quickly, so he went to borrow money from others at usurious rates, but he didn't expect...

"Ah, you are confused!"

Shen Hong looked excited and wanted to give Song Hailong a few slaps in the face. How could they borrow usury? They were just making a living by eating people without spitting out their bones.

Moreover, this Hailong borrowed money from loan sharks to gamble. This was too ridiculous. How could such a person give Cuicui happiness in the future.

"Now that you know what's going on, please pay back the money!"

The strong man who took the lead said with a smile, and his eyes moved up and down Shen Cui's body wantonly.

"1000 taels of silver, we, we..."

Mrs. Song didn't say a word, she opened her eyes and fainted.

"mother!"

"Grandma!"

Song Jinyue and Song Haitao rushed over eagerly, leaving only Shen Hong, the others, and Song Haitao looking at a loss.

Mrs. Song fainted, but the leader among the strong men remained unmoved. He said coldly, "Today, if you can't come up with the money, I will have no choice but to apologize!"

"Come and see, these two girls are both good-looking, why not use them to pay off the debt!"

"No, no!" Song Hailong lay on the ground, hugging the leader's thigh, "I owe you the money, it's none of my family's business!"

"Come on, let me break both of his legs and throw him into prison, or do what I said first. You can choose for yourself."

Shen Hong's family was in a daze, and Shen Cui was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hid behind her parents, not knowing what to do.

"Sure, just do as you say!"

Song Haishan walked out on crutches at some point, "I just ask you to be noble and let my brother go."

"No, Dad, I don't want to!"

Song Jinyue showed a look of fear and tried to run away, but was stopped by those strong men.

It was the same with Shen Cui. Several strong men roughly pushed Shen Hong and his wife away and pulled Shen Cui away.

"What are you doing? This is none of our business!" Shen Cui turned pale with fear. "I, I have nothing to do with them. Let me go!"

"Uncle Shen, if the matter is urgent, please help Hai Long!" Song Haishan pleaded.
