The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 57 Repaying Debts (7)
"Hehe, you dare to come to me? Are you not afraid of retribution?"

"Caiwei..." The boy paused, "I'm sorry."

"You think an apology is enough?"

"I understand, so I want to make it up."

"Hmph, compensation? Do you think you can make it up?"

"sorry."

Li Caiwei protested, "I'm sorry, I have to leave."

The boy stood up, "You should want to know the truth."

Li Caiwei clutched the teacup tightly, looking at the tea leaves floating in the cup, just like her own mood at this moment, how many times in the past many years, she dreamed of her sister in her dreams, in the cold winter, she hugged herself tightly, the thousand years before she got married Ding Wanjian, thinking that marrying in the past is just seeing less, and not wanting to say goodbye for five years.

"I'm sorry? Do you think saying sorry is enough? Where is my sister? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't let it go."

Li Caiwei pushed the tea away, "Tell me immediately, where did my sister go? What did you do to her!"

The girl in front of him turned out to be the little girl from five years ago, and her temperament and temperament remained unchanged. Hu Qixuan took out 500 taels of silver and handed it to her, "This is 500 taels of silver."

Li Caiwei looked at the 500 taels of silver on the table, "You just want to send me away with 500 taels of silver? You want to exchange 500 taels of silver for my sister's life?"

"Caiwei, you misunderstood. Too many things happened during this period, I can't tell you about your sister for now."

"Is my sister dead?"

"Sorry, I can't tell."

Li Caiwei took the case angrily, "Let's do it like this, I will find out the truth." After speaking, she rushed out of the door.

The guard next to him whispered: "My lord, it's getting dark now. You came out on leave. If you don't enter the palace before the city gate closes, you may be in trouble." Hu Qixuan is now a guard with a knife in the capital. Hearing that she was in trouble, she rushed over from the capital immediately.

Hu Qixuan handed over the 500 taels of silver to the guard, "You pass the money for me, there must be no mistakes."

Li Caiwei returned home angrily, and suddenly poured a large ladle of cold boiled water.Sitting at the door, the ducks in the field were so hungry that they came ashore, surrounded her, and kept calling.

Hearing the ducks screaming loudly, I washed some rice with cold boiled water and sprinkled it on the ground. Watching the ducks eat happily, I felt better.

Not long after she came back, she saw a man in blue clothes approaching, and handed her a cloth bag. It looked like some scraps of silver and 500 taels of silver, which must have been sent by Hu Qixuan.

"You tell Mr. Hu that I don't need the money."

"Miss Li, don't embarrass us, we are also servants, if things go wrong, we can only pack up and leave."

"Okay, I can accept the money, you go back and tell your adults, I won't let it go."

The five-day deadline was up, and she handed over 500 taels of silver to Liu Ji, and the debt was finally paid off.

Sitting on a chair peeling garlic, Yu sighed, "This house doesn't feel like a house anymore."

Mrs. Yu handed the peeled garlic to Mrs. Zhou, "Since what happened, the family can't open the pot anymore. The whole family, if this continues, I'm afraid I'm going to drink the northwest wind."

Mrs. Zhou thought for a while, "I still have some savings, I'll take it out later."

"Where is your little money enough? Jiaxuan is almost 22, and he has already agreed on a girl, but because of his father, the girl's parents are afraid that their daughter will be wronged when they marry, so they don't want to let their daughter marry. There are so many talkers in the family. , I have to eat three meals a day, and I can’t afford less food and clothing, so I have to find a way to make money quickly!”

"I used to sew to see if I could find something suitable."

As soon as Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Yang coming out of the room fully dressed. "Looking for some work? Second sister, if you hadn't handed over the land deed to the master, we wouldn't have moved back to this gloomy old house," Yang blew on her clothes in disgust, "This new one I just bought The clothes are all moldy."

Mrs. Zhou didn't answer the question, and went back to the kitchen with the garlic.

"Eldest sister, since the married daughter-in-law can even take out 500 taels of silver, why don't you borrow some from her."

Mrs. Yu couldn't see it, and helped to explain: "Caiwei also borrowed the money from a friend."

"Friend? What kind of friend can lend you so much money?" Yang asked aggressively, "Since he can lend you so much money, he must be a very good friend."

"You said that Jiacheng is stupid, but you married such a capable daughter-in-law like you. You are busy with other things, and you are no worse than men. Big sister, I don't know if Jiacheng will suffer a loss someday. Well." Yang knows what Yu is thinking, and this is what Yu has been worried about.

"Sister, I heard that Jiacheng's daughter-in-law had some bad rumors before she got married, but the rumors are not spread casually." Yang glanced at Li Yushi, saw her face pulled, and immediately changed her face. His face turned pale, "Sister, I am also thinking about Jiacheng. Caiwei has spread such unfavorable rumors at such a young age. How do outsiders think of Jiacheng, and how can I raise my head in the future?"

Mrs. Yu understands Mrs. Zhou's words, and this is indeed what she has been worried about all along, "Don't light the fire here. The clothes at home haven't been washed yet, so I washed all the clothes when I turned around. You take care of yourself all day long. Jialin's studies don't help you. Get over it."

Mrs. Yang was unhappy when she was told, and sat beside her wearily.

It happened that Li Caiwei came over here with the IOU. Seeing her coming, Mrs. Yang immediately smiled and said, "Yo, I was just talking about you, and you came here."

Li Caiwei handed the IOU to Shi Yu, "Mother, this is the IOU owed by father, please keep it safe. I'm busy at home and I'll go back first."

Sitting in front of the bucket washing clothes, Mrs. Yang's careful thoughts were already obvious, "Your family is a daughter-in-law, don't you don't like to hear it, I have already thought about this division of the family, since you are married, you are a part of the family, your family Now there are four or five acres of land, and then two acres will be given to the second sister, and both Jiaxuan and Jialin have land, and the second sister can arrange the marriage early." Yang once again proposed to divide the family.

Yu frowned, "Caiwei just paid back the money for the family, now you want her to take out the land, can't you eat her meat? Think of other ways for Jiaxuan's marriage."

"Sister, there are only four or five acres of land left in the family. There is no one in the family who can earn money. What can I do? Hey, this life is getting worse every year. If I had a natal family, I would have returned home with the burden. I'm gone to my natal family, so I don't have to suffer here."

"Caiwei, you go back first."

Hehe, does this big family want to drink their own meat?But in front of her elders and Gu Jiacheng, she didn't want to lose her temper.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhou entered Mrs. Yu's room.

"Eldest sister, the land deed is in the hands of the third sister. If the family is not divided, Jiaxuan and Jialin may not get a single piece of land. I think dividing the family is also a solution."
