A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 248 Mother and Child Cut Off (2)
After Li Xi finished his busy work, he lay on the bed and waited for Zhao Mu to come up.

Zhao Mu took a shower and his hair was still dry, so he wiped his head with a cloth and came into the room, and he didn't go to bed with the moisture still on his body.

"It's okay today." Li Xi got out of bed, took the cloth towel from Zhao Mu's hand, told him to sit down, and she wiped it.

"It's not Yang Cheng's debt." Zhao Mu said angrily.

Yang Chengcheng is the father of the second boy, that is, this guy who can't support the wall with mud made a good family like this.

"How did you pay it back?" Li Xi didn't think that it was enough for the village chief to just find Zhao Mu. It was only natural to pay back the debt, and Zhao Mu had no way to intervene.

After stroking his hair and feeling that it was almost done, Zhao Mu stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Xi's waist, hugged him into his arms, and let him sit on his lap.

With his chin resting on Li Xi's shoulder, he sighed softly and said, "Those gambling houses always have black hands. Seeing that the yamen's face has been removed, but the rest must be given. Originally, I wanted to help borrow some money." Yes, but..."

"Huh?" Zhao Mu paused, and Li Xi looked at him suspiciously.

"Before I said it, Grandma Yang took out the money herself."

"Ah?" Li Ximei raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Scratching her head, Li Xi frowned: "Where did Grandma Yang get the money?" She didn't say that Grandma Yang and the second boy, grandparent and grandson, are not necessarily self-sufficient, so how could they take out so much money to pay off the debt at once.

"Grandma Yang's family still has reservations, it's a pity..." Zhao Mu sighed and shook his head: "Second Uncle and I never thought that Grandma Yang would come up with something that can pay off the debt."

"What is it?"

"A few embroidered handkerchiefs."

"Amount (⊙o⊙)..."

"We only know that Grandma Yang worked for a wealthy family when she was young. In fact, she also has some collections in private. The embroidered handkerchiefs that I took out this time, I am a layman, I don't understand, but I helped pawn them. … "

Li Xi didn't interrupt, but the meaning in his eyes was clear.

Zhao Mu didn't procrastinate, and said directly: "When I took it to pawn, Grandma Yang reminded me that this is authentic Suzhou embroidery."

"Su embroidery——" Li Xi doesn't know about it here, but she admired it very much in her previous place. Presumably, except for the different history, it's pretty much the same under normal circumstances.

"Well, the pawnbroker still wants to be sloppy, but since Grandma Yang said it, I naturally can't be fooled by it casually. Two pieces of Suzhou embroidery cost 200 taels."

"Wow, it's so expensive." Li Xi was still very vague about some aspects of the prices here.

Rubbing the top of Li Xi's head affectionately, Zhao Mu smiled: "This price is still cheap, that is, our Baxiang Town is just a small place, if we go to Qingyun City here, the price will be more than this."

Li Xi nodded ignorantly, not knowing if she understood.

"Yang Cheng owed more than 100 taels of silver, and he had to pay back 100 taels if he barely got rid of a small head."

This time when they came back, Yang Cheng didn't follow. Li Xi was not at ease and asked, "What about the second boy, you wouldn't give the 200 taels to Grandma Yang in front of people, would you? If Yang Cheng sees the money , will definitely not give up."

Gently tapping Li Xi's forehead, Zhao Mu scolded with a smile: "That's why you don't trust me."

Li Xi covered his head and smiled.

"After I go back, I will pay a little more than 100 taels. Grandma Yang will pay back the 100 taels, and the remaining ten or so taels..."

"What's wrong? What's left?"

"...It's all for Yang Cheng. Grandma Yang told the village chief that she would go back to the village and sever ties with him and remove him from the family tree."
