After hearing his daughter's thoughts, Xia Jinjun looked at the fat boy who had escaped death, and had some doubts in his heart.
Can this idiot really make money for their family?
But what his daughter said might not come true in all cases. He decided to give it a try, otherwise it might not work elsewhere.
Boss Su was so grateful that he was crying and snotting. He turned around and took out a silver ingot, weighing ten taels.
Xia Jinjun's eyes sparkled. He was very smart and knew what this meant without asking.
"My benefactors, it's all thanks to you, otherwise I would have become a sinner of the Su family. I feel so ashamed of my ancestors. This... is just a small token of my respect, please don't despise it."
Xia Jinjun stretched out his hand. This was ten taels of silver, enough for their family to live for two or three years.
[Dad, it's only ten taels of silver. Don't lose the big picture for the small. You should know that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay. It's more important to discuss cooperation. You are a scholar, so you have integrity, integrity! ]
“Ahem!”
Xia Jinjun looked at the little girl who was pulling his trouser leg and staring at him. He resisted the urge to pick it up and put his hand down. He almost gritted his teeth as he said this.
"Boss Su, my father and I saved the young master by chance, which shows that we are destined to be together. You are too polite. We cannot accept this money."
Woo woo...that's ten taels of silver.
After hearing what Xia Jinjun said, Boss Su felt that the person in front of him was extremely good, with a rare noble character!
He should stop using these yellow and white things to dirty other people's hearts.
"This... is... are those benefactors coming to our shop to buy clothes? Although our shop is not as good as the big shops, the styles are also good. Then I will choose suitable clothes for you benefactors."
His ten taels of silver were just gone like that?
Xia Jinjun was wailing in his heart.
[Mother, the time is ripe, hurry up and tell him that you are here to do embroidery work! ]
Xia Zhiliao pulled Xia Chen's hand while thinking about it. Xia Chen thought about the embarrassing words she had just heard after being rejected, and she was still a little nervous. "I... Boss, I'm pretty good at sewing. I wanted to ask if there's any embroidery work in the shop that needs help. I..."
"I want it. I need it. Madam, if you have any embroidery in the future, just bring it to our shop and sell it. I won't charge you a penny. All the money you make will belong to you. I will help you sell it. Do you think so?"
Xia Chen had no idea what to do, so she looked at her man naturally.
Xia Jinjun was still lamenting about his ten taels of silver, wondering how much an embroidery job was worth, and how many years it would take to earn ten taels of silver.
[Daddy, agree to him. This is a great thing.]
Xia Jinjun glanced at his anxious daughter and nodded perfunctorily, "Boss Su, thank you so much."
"No, no, no, how can you say that? It's our Su family who wants to thank you. Without you, I... I wouldn't be able to face my ancestors even if I died!"
Boss Su really cared about his only son. It seemed that Boss Su later had a group of concubines, but he never gave birth to any other children.
Then she can really repay the favor.
Xia Zhiliao looked towards Su Mingzhan with her clear black eyes. She accidentally saved the heroine's bootlicker. Would she be retaliated by the heroine, with whom she had little interaction?
However, Su Mingzhan didn't seem to realize how dangerous what had just happened was, and he was still smiling at Xia Zhiliao.
Idiot!
A total idiot!
Xia Zhiliao felt disgusted.
"Ming Zhan, look carefully, this is your savior, you must never forget him in the future."
Su Mingzhan nodded vigorously, turned around and took a plate of snacks from the table, "Sister, please eat. I will give you all my delicious food in the future."
Xia Zhiliao thought that this guy was really like in the novels, very kind and sincere to others.
"Sister, what's your name?"
Xia Zhiliao didn't say anything. Boss Su thought the little girl was shy. "Mingzhan, look how scared you are. I'm sorry, little girl. Your brother Mingzhan means no harm. What's your name?"
However, he keenly noticed that something was wrong with the expressions of the family of three.
"Boss Su, my cicada has never spoken since it was born."
"Why...why is this happening? Such a pretty girl, what a pity." Boss Su frowned, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a doctor to help this girl."
Xia Jinjun finally believed what his daughter had just said. If she had accepted the ten taels of silver, there would probably be no follow-up events.
Treating my daughter's illness is a bottomless pit.
Xia Zhiliao thought, why waste that money? She can cure her disease herself, it just takes some time.
After bidding farewell to the Su family father and son, Xia Jinjun was happy to use the few copper coins he had on him to buy two meat pies for his wife and daughter.
It’s not that I don’t want to buy three tickets, it’s just that I don’t have enough money.
Xia Zhiliao passed the meat pie to Xia Jinjun's mouth, but Xia Jinjun shook his head and said, "Daddy is not hungry. Give it to Zhiliao."
[Daddy thought I didn’t know, he actually wanted to eat too, Daddy is really a good daddy. ]
Xia Jinjun was so delighted by the compliment that half a meat pie was stuffed into his hand. It was obvious that the half in his hand was much bigger than the one in his wife's hand.
When he looked over, Xia Chen was also looking at him tenderly.
Many images emerged in Xia Jinjun's mind at this moment. His wife was once beautiful, but she had become a yellow-faced woman due to working day and night.
"Wife, when you make money, buy yourself two sets of clothes. You have suffered so much these years."
Xia Chen smiled and said, "There are many places in the family where we need money. You need money for your trip to Beijing, and Zhiliao's illness is waiting for you. It doesn't matter if you have clothes or not, just have something to wear."
[Mother, you have to think about yourself too. Otherwise, what will you do if father changes his mind in the future? ]
Will Jinjun change his heart?
Xia Chen thought that would not happen.
Xia Jinjun has also seen the good of Xia Chen in the past two days. If it were another woman, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to do as well as she does!
When the family of three returned home and told the story, everyone had different expressions.
"Second brother, you are so confused. My sister-in-law's embroidery is worth only a few dollars. That's ten taels of silver. Ten taels of silver, there's nothing else you can do with it. You... have you become stupid from studying too much?"
Originally, Old Lady Xia also felt that this deal was a loss, but she was protective of her children, especially her second son, who was her hope for the future.
"What are you talking about? A scholar is no better than an illiterate woman like you. Jinjun must have his reasons for doing this." Old Mrs. Xia glared at her eldest daughter-in-law unhappily.
Xia Jinjun brought up what Xia Zhiliao said, "Mom, I am a scholar, I have to have integrity, how can I ask for money from others? And I think my wife's embroidery is good. Besides, I think they are father and son who are destined to great things. If I don't ask for ten taels now, maybe they can make a lot of money in the future."
Xia Zhi looked at his father with admiration.
[As expected of a top scholar! 】
Everyone in the room looked at Xia Zhiliao, except Xia Zhang who could hear nothing.
