Chapter 16
"Old lady, it's not the villain who made things difficult for you. It's the rule that life is cheaper and death is more expensive. Besides, you see, there is a crack in this jade pendant. I'm afraid it was accidentally knocked at some point." The shopkeeper With a pointing finger, he said with a smile: "The carving is not worth mentioning. In the face of An County Prime Minister, add three or two more. If it is dead, I will be scolded by the boss, and I will give you 50 yuan." Two denarii."

"Nonsense, how can there be any cracks?" Mrs. An shook her head straight: "It's not dead, it's not dead, it's too little."

The shopkeeper pushed the jade pendant in front of her, and said kindly: "Then it won't work, why don't you try another place, old lady?"

Another house?His family dominates this damn place, where else is there?This is obviously taking advantage of the fire!Mrs. An was trembling with anger, but she had no choice. She wanted to take the jade pendant and leave in a fit of anger. The only grandson in the family was waiting to buy medicine to save her life. It's really not enough to even buy medicine for Mao Mao.

An Yi saw the greed and calculation clearly in the shopkeeper's eyes, and said coldly: "Brother to court, this jade pendant is worth a few hundred taels of silver at least. It’s wrong. Let’s save face and don’t go looking for someone to mortgage. Borrowing money is better than being slaughtered like this.”

After being reminded by her, Old Madam An regained her spirits immediately, and said in a full-fledged manner: "Yes, yes, I will take it to find Dahu Chen or the magistrate of the county." As she said that, she was about to collect the jade pendant.

"Alright." The shopkeeper made a nonchalant gesture to go in.

Old Madam An knew that the comparison at this moment was about momentum, so she took the jade pendant and went out, because she was still waiting for the shopkeeper to call her back to negotiate the price, so she didn't take it back into her arms.Who would have thought that before the door, two big men in red and green walked in quickly from outside, snatched the jade pendant from her hand, and shouted: "Pay the debt! An Baoliang The money owed to us will never be repaid, and this jade pendant will be used to repay the debt for the time being!"

When the accident suddenly happened, Mrs. An and An Yi were both taken aback. After thinking about it, they immediately went forward to grab the jade pendant.An Yi reacted quickly, grabbed the old tie on the jade pendant in a hurry and refused to let go; the old lady An was tough, and greeted the two big men with the rattan cane in her hand, cursing loudly: "Where are you crazy? How dare you rob an official’s family in broad daylight! Aren’t you afraid of a lawsuit?”

The two big men pushed An Yi to the ground with one push, and then grabbed Granny An's crutches and threw them far away, shouting: "Afraid! Afraid! An County Prime Minister is probably more afraid than us! Debts It’s only natural to pay back the money. He borrowed our money and he has to pay it back! If he can’t pay it back, he should take something to pay off the debt. His wife and daughter are officials and we dare not move them, and the house he lives in is owned by the county government and cannot be sold. Is this thing paid off?"

This is a family heirloom, and it is also Mao Mao's life-saving money, how can they take it away without knowing it?Granny An's eyes widened and she rushed forward, hugging the big man's arm holding the jade pendant tightly, and screamed mournfully, "Who knows where you guys are robbers! Give me back my jade pendant! Give me back my jade pendant! This is life-saving money! "

The big man in the red robe sneered and grabbed her hand, saying: "A robber?! I will not change my name or surname. The one in the east of the city is Wang Hu! I have borrowed money from me and dare not pay it back. !” After saying that, he pushed Old Madam An, took the jade pendant and walked away.

Mrs. An's head hit the door frame, and her head was bleeding, but she couldn't care less, she just opened her hands and yelled bitterly into the street: "The robber! Give me back my jade pendant! No reason, no reason! !" Before An Yi came over to support her, she had already rolled her eyes up, her eyes were crooked and her mouth was slanted, she fell straight to the ground.

"Grandma, grandma!" This is a sign of a stroke!Thinking of what was said in the medical book, Anyi broke into a cold sweat with fright. She hurriedly and carefully put Granny An on the ground, and pinched Granny An desperately, but she still didn't see any reaction. Ask for help from the buddy: "Help us! My brother is waiting at home for this money to buy medicine to save his life."

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper just shook their heads, and advised her instead: "Miss An, since your father owes them money, then don't say any more, just hurry up and get the IOU back."

An Yi saw that they were determined and refused to help each other, so she had to look around again, and before she could speak, she heard someone whisper: "No wonder this An County Prime Minister is getting poorer as he passes by, so he provoked this usury Wang Hu. He is also confused, is this Wang Hu easy to get along with? Who in this city dares to provoke him?"

"That Wang Hu is a cousin of the Huang family in Feilongguan. He is used to being domineering. Even the county magistrate doesn't pay attention to him. Someone forced him to ruin his family a few days ago, and no one dared to speak out. The magistrate of An County It is poor and crazy to mess with him."

An County Prime Minister borrowed usury?An Yi wants to cry but has no tears. Doesn't he know that sentence?For loan sharks, one repays three times; for recurring interest, it is repaid every year;Fortunately for him, not only was he so poor that he went around crediting money, but he also owed usury!Let's listen to these people, this Wang Hu is still a local tyrant who cannot be messed with.

Anyi had no choice but to ask a woman who was watching the fun closest to her: "Auntie, please help me go to the county government to find An County Prime Minister. You said that my grandmother fell down and passed out, so let him come here quickly." Invite a young man: "Brother, please go to the medical clinic for me, and ask Aunt Wu to come and treat me, okay?"

The woman and the young man were going to hide in the crowd, but An Yi had no choice but to agree when they approached them directly.An Yi quickly thanked her. At this time, the pawnshop shopkeeper and the shopkeeper saw a group of people making a fuss in front of her door. They were worried that Mrs. An would die here, so they offered a spring stool and hot tea. He stepped forward to help Anyi lift Mrs. An up and put her on the spring stool.

"Thank you all the neighbors for your kind help." An Yi hurriedly blessed everyone, and declined, "I've heard that it's not easy to move the elderly when they suddenly faint and fall down. alright."

Everyone knew that she often walked around Wu Jing's clinic, and they felt that what she said made sense, and they didn't dare to act rashly to cause trouble, so they just watched from the sidelines.I don't know if the person who sent the letter for An Yi lost his letter, or An Yi was worried about Granny An's condition and felt that the time passed too slowly. The more An Yi waited, the more anxious she became. To be paralyzed or dead would only add insult to injury.

Coincidentally, Wu Jing taught her how to rescue stroke patients yesterday, and she herself practiced on the mannequin for a long time, so she shouldn't misjudge the acupuncture points.After thinking about it, An Yi took out the needle box that Wu Jing gave yesterday with trembling hands, and decided to give first aid to Mrs. An first.

Seeing An Yi taking out the silver needle, everyone started whispering, saying everything, most of them were doubts.A tall and straight young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, with handsome features and a green shirt, watched the commotion with great interest, heard the incident clearly, and did not forget to ask the people around him when he encountered something he didn't understand. Two sentences, after hearing the story of An's family, the young man in green shirt shook his head, crossed his arms and said, "Little girl, you should think about it, this is human life, don't mess around, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"
