Chapter 177

"About Yi Chengmin's Shuxiu last year, the monthly Shuxiu silver is 20 taels, which includes books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, for a total of ten months."

"In addition, Yi Chengmin students live in the college, so they have to pay an additional 20 taels of accommodation fees. The accommodation fees include three meals a day."

The master paused, looked at Yi Jiang's expressionless face, swallowed, and continued: "In addition, students' clothes also need to be charged separately."

"Our clothes are divided into summer clothes and winter clothes. There are two sets per season, with a total of 20 taels of silver. Therefore, last year alone, students Yi Chengmin had to give 240 taels of silver to the college."

At the beginning, it was because of Mr. Ma's face that the college only collected a few taels of silver, but now that the Ma family has come to talk, they can make up for the lack of silver.

If not, they will be driven back. Although their academy is well-known in Ling County, they cannot afford to offend the Ma family, so they can only act according to what the Ma family said.

After Yi Jiang listened, he nodded his head. He knew that the tuition fee was silver, and he also knew that Qingshan College, as a famous college in Ling County, must charge a lot of money.

Coupled with the fact that Brother Min did everything according to the rules in the academy, the cost was even higher.

So when he came, he was already ready. Yi Jiang took out 300 taels of silver from his sleeve and put it in front of the master, saying, "300 taels."

The master took it, and asked Yi Jiang to sign a piece of paper, then found last year's popularity list on the book next to him, and crossed out Yi Chengmin's name.

Then he said with a smile: "Okay, we settled last year's calculations, and now we will continue to calculate this year's." Closing the book, the master said with a smile.

Yi Jiang nodded his head, motioning for the other party to continue.

The master took a sip of water, and then continued: "When the school started this year, student Yi Chengmin ordered clothes for two seasons, totaling 20 taels of silver."

Hearing this, Yi Jiang frowned. Last year's clothes were worn for a year, why did he have to order again, and four sets of clothes were worn out in a year?
"Our Shuxiu money is paid once a month. It has been five months since we left school, so we need to pay Shuxiu 100 taels of silver."

"As for the money for accommodation, it is paid once a year. Therefore, for this year's fee, you need to pay 140 taels of silver."

Yi Jiang said "Yes." Then he said, "All the fees will be paid on a yearly basis. I will pay once a year."

It is not uncommon to pay once a year, but most of them are from families with a lot of money. For those who live in the countryside, they pay once a month.

After all, the rural student's family can't afford that much money all at once, but now it seems that Yi Chengmin's uncle has a lot of money!
Thinking of this, the master smiled and said: "Yes, for one year, the total cost is 240 taels, and you can give me another 180 taels."

Yi Jiang took out 200 taels from his sleeve and handed it to the master. The master took all the money, smiled at Yi Jiang and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you the money."

"Okay." Yi Jiang nodded his head.

Soon, the master came back, and asked Yi Jiang to sign his name again, and then crossed out Yi Chengmin's name this year on the book.

Yi Jiang didn't stay in the academy after handing in the book repair to Yi Chengmin. He had a lot of things to do, and if it wasn't for teaching Yi Chengmin the afternoon, he wouldn't have come out at all.

After buying some snacks for Gu Yao, Yi Jiang drove home in a carriage.

Qin Shufang ran forward with a face full of despair. She knew that her parents didn't like her and felt that she was born to collect debts. Therefore, she dared not complain about working at home.

There can be no complaints, after all, if she leaves home, she will lose her place to live.

But she never thought that her parents would sell her for 20 taels of silver, and they would still sell her to Hualou, if it wasn't for the fact that she was a little late for washing her clothes today.

I'm afraid she won't even have a chance to escape, but even so, she knows it too late.

"Stop, don't run."

"Smelly bitch, if you can run like this, you have to teach me a good lesson when you get it back."

"You're so ugly, it's good enough that we can have you."

"Mother, stop for me."

Those who were chasing Qin Shufang behind were the people in Hualou. Qin Shufang was panting heavily, and her steps gradually slowed down, and she was about to be overtaken.

"Drive, drive, drive."

Suddenly, Qin Shufang heard the sound of a carriage coming from a distance, her eyes burst out with hope, and she ran forward with all her strength.

But the people behind were about to catch Qin Shufang, but they saw the other party running quickly, and he swung his arm violently in the air, cursing: "Damn it."

"Help, help!" Qin Shufang jumped out suddenly, shouting with hope in her mouth.

Yi Jiang looked at the woman who appeared suddenly, and immediately tightened the reins, shouting: "Woo."

Seeing that the other party had stopped the carriage, Qin Shufang hurried over and said, "Help me, please help me."

"Bitch, you run really fast!"

"Damn it, I haven't run like this for a long time."

"Hurry up and come back with us."

"Carriage driver, mind your own business, we bought this man."

Several big men ran out from the side alley, panting, cursing, and one of them came forward to arrest Qin Shufang.

Yi Jiang frowned, stopped him, then looked at Qin Shufang who was terrified, and asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Shufang grabbed Yi Jiang's arm as if grabbing a life-saving straw and said, "They are from Hualou, I don't want to go with them, save me."

"I beg you to save me, as long as you save me, I will repay you as a slave, save me." As long as she doesn't go to Hualou, she can do anything.

After listening to Qin Shufang's words, Yi Jiang said to those big men, "I heard everything!"

Those big guys looked at Yi Jiang disapprovingly, and one of them said, "Don't mind your own business, we bought it from her old lady with money."

"That's right, mind your own business, or I'll beat you."

"That's right, who do you think you are, let me get out of the way."

Yi Jiang frowned, then turned around and glanced at the woman behind him, his brows frowned even more.

Qin Shufang was afraid that the man she finally met would give up on her, so she immediately said, "I don't know, I don't know at all, it's my mother who made it up."

"Please save me. If you sell yourself afterwards, it has nothing to do with you. I think my mother just took the money, and I didn't sign the contract of selling myself."

Yi Jiang frowned. It was fine if he didn't sign the deed of selling himself. After all, it would be more troublesome if he signed the deed of selling himself. He asked, "Which village are you from?"

"Xiahe Village, I'm from Xiahe Village." Qin Shufang said quickly.

Taking advantage of Yi Jiang and Qin Shufang's conversation, those big men winked at each other, and two of them went around to the other side, that is, Qin Shufang's side.

After listening to Qin Shufang's words, Yi Jiang thought for a while. It's not impossible to save people, but it's fine to buy them back, and there is no shortage of people at home.

Just do a good deed every day.

Just as Yi Jiang was thinking, four big men surged up in an instant, two of them arrested Qin Shufang, and two of them dealt with Yi Jiang.

"Ah!" Being caught suddenly, Qin Shufang yelled in horror: "Let me go, let me go."

Yi Jiang dodged a fist that was being swung by a burly man, then looked at the two burly men with an unkind expression, and said, "You're looking for death." It's shameless to actually engage in a sneak attack.

The two big guys didn't expect Yi Jiang to be capable. Seeing that they couldn't beat Yi Jiang, they immediately shouted at the other two, "Come and help me."

As long as you subdue this man, aren't you afraid of some stinky bitch running away?

Qin Shufang saw that she was let go, and the four big men were facing Yi Jiang together. She looked at the road behind her, and then at the five people, wondering if she should just run away like this.

But I felt sorry for the man who saved her by running away like this. After struggling for a while, Qin Shufang decided to stay and help the man.

Thinking of this, she began to look for something that could help the other party on the side of the road. After a while, she found a branch as thick as an arm, and it was just the right length to pick it up.

Then she immediately returned to want to help the other party, but who knew, she just found a branch, and it was over?

Qin Shufang looked not far away in surprise, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Well, are you okay?"

Yi Jiang straightened his messy clothes, ignored the four big men who were howling on the ground, then turned to Qin Shufang and said, "It's okay."

He didn't escape from the scene just now, and he seemed to have a good character.

Qin Shufang breathed a sigh of relief, and then thinking of what she said just now, she quickly dropped the branch in her hand, walked to Yi Jiang's side and said with a serious face: "Thank you, as I said, if you save me, I will sell myself to you. "

"There's no need to sell yourself." Yi Jiang refused, "My family is not short of people."

"Then how can it be?" Qin Shufang was in a hurry, how could she not repay this man for saving her, and then her eyes fell on the carriage, feeling a little lost.

The family can afford a carriage, and the conditions are definitely not bad. She has nothing now, and she can't help the other party.

Yi Jiang looked at Qin Shufang who was depressed, thought for a while, and said, "What are your plans for the future?"

Speaking of future plans, Qin Shufang thought about it, then looked at Yi Jiang in shame and said, "Brother, can I trouble you with one thing!"

"What's the matter?" Yi Jiang asked.

"Since my mother is going to sell me to the flower house, I don't need to show mercy to her. I want to go back and sever ties with them, or I'm afraid I won't have such good luck next time." Qin Shufang said, her eyes turned red.

Yi Jiang thought about it, and Xiahe Village was not very far away, so he said, "Okay, get in the carriage, and I'll take you there."

"Thank you, thank you. By the way, brother, my name is Qin Shufang." Qin Shufang got into the carriage and said to Yi Jiang.

"My surname is Yi." Yi Jiang said, driving the carriage to Xiahe Village.

"Then I'll call you Brother Yi." Qin Shufang sniffed and said to Yi Jiang with a smile.
