Chapter 020 I will not accept charity from the Gu family!
Su Jing's brows were tightly furrowed, and the other brothers of the Su family clenched their fists so tightly that veins were popping out.
"Boss Zhang, how about this? Give us a month, and we'll pay you back the money we owe you, with interest. If we can't pay you back after a month, you can file a complaint with the authorities, or whatever else you want. We'll let you do whatever you want!"
Su Wan stood up again and started negotiating with Boss Zhang.
"Wanwan, don't do this!" Su Jing held Su Wan's hand. How could she make such a boast? Where could she get twenty-five taels of silver in a month?
Even if my parents work for a whole year, they still don’t earn twenty-five taels of silver!
"Don't panic, big brother. Wanwan has her own way!"
Su Wan gave him a look, indicating that he was at ease.
"One month? Who knows what you will say next time?" Boss Zhang didn't believe her words and thought it was just a delaying tactic.
"Boss Zhang, I was the daughter of the Gu family for over ten years. I have a strong bond with them. If I'm desperate, I have my own ways. But you won't even give me a little face?"
As a last resort, Su Wan had to move out of the Su family.
"Su Wan, we don't want the Gu family's charity!" Su Yun became anxious upon seeing this, and looked at her with a red face.
"Fourth brother, shut up!" Su Wan felt that he was just a piece of wood with only a shell.
Su Yun was so angry that he jumped up and down.
The sharp-nosed monkey weighed the pros and cons for a moment and thought carefully about her words. What she meant was to give the Gu family face and give her a month. If she really couldn't raise the money in this month, she would find a way to ask the Gu family for it. But if he offended the Gu family because of this, it would be a loss.
Finally, he decided to give her a month's grace:
"I can give you a month's grace, but the interest will have to be added on top. After a month, you have to pay me back thirty taels of silver. If you agree, we'll sign and seal it right here, and then I'll leave and wait for good news!"
At an interest rate of five cents a day, it would only be one and a half taels of interest. He raised the price so much, it's obviously bullying!
"Okay, it's settled!" Su Wan agreed.
"Wanwan, this is an unfair clause, how can you agree to it?" Su Jing's heart was bleeding. Not to mention whether he could pay back the previous twenty-five taels, he had to pay an extra five taels of silver.
"It's okay, big brother, I can pay it back!" Su Wan insisted, and Su Jing couldn't stop him.
"Okay, there are so many men in your family but none of them are as straightforward as a little girl like you. It's settled. Go and prepare the pen and ink!" He ordered his men to get paper and pen to write a document.
Su Wan has a fallback. If all else fails, there's still the gold ring. If he pawns the ring, won't he have it?
After the sharp-nosed monkey wrote the document, Su Wan took it and examined it carefully. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he signed and stamped his fingerprints.
"I'll come back in a month. I hope you won't force me!"
The sharp-nosed monkey put away the receipt and left with his men in a swagger.
Su Yun then got angry and shouted at Su Wan:
"Su Wan, are you stupid? You promised to pay back thirty taels of silver. Where are we going to get these thirty taels in a month? I'm telling you, even if our Su family is desperate, we will never accept charity from the Gu family!"
What did Mrs. Gu say to them that day? She said, "I have raised your daughter so well, and I have done my best. But my daughter has never had a good day with you, and they can't think of taking advantage of their relationship with Yueyue to enjoy the good things of the Gu family."
"Fourth brother, the reason I agreed to him is because I have my own way. Don't worry, I will not accept the Gu family's charity. Those words are just my weighing of the pros and cons. If I don't say this, can they leave?
As for the money, I will find a way. I already have my own ideas. Brothers, just wait and see!"
"Besides, thirty taels of silver is enough to save face, but is big brother's future more important? Big brother has studied hard for many years and has already lost one opportunity. How can he lose another?"
The book is told from the perspective of the heroine Gu Yue, so there is not much description of what happened in the countryside. This part does not appear in the book, so I just don't know how they solved it.
At this moment, Gu Yue is still in the Gu family and making up for the lost family affection with Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu!
After Su Wan said this, everyone fell silent. Yes, eldest brother has waited for so long, just waiting for this spring examination to be named on the list of successful candidates. If that person reports to the authorities, won’t his career be ruined?
Su Jing's mind was full of thoughts, looking at this sister who had little affection for him, she actually considered everything for him.
"Okay, things will work out when the time comes. I made some money today. Fourth Brother saw it with his own eyes. I bought some meat, buns, and flour. We'll have something delicious tonight. Didn't you ask me to give you some advice? Hurry up and bring the things in!"
Su Yun felt awkward for a moment, but still went out to get something.
In the room, everyone looked at those things and asked Su Yun how he sold all the pine mushrooms. Su Yun then told everyone about Su Wan's operations today from his own perspective.
Finally added a sentence:
"Don't mention it, she's quite smart!"
Su Jing originally thought that if she couldn't sell anything at the market, she would never go again. Unexpectedly, things turned out far beyond his expectations.
"I promised the shopkeeper that I would deliver it to him in a few days. He is willing to accept three cents per pound. But now I have other things to do. Can you brothers help me share the burden of picking mushrooms?" Su Wan looked at everyone expectantly.
Su Jing chuckled and nodded her head:
"You are so clever, I will go for you tomorrow!"
Su Wan touched his forehead and chuckled.
"You said you have something else to do now? What is it?" The silent Su Mu looked at Su Wan and asked. He was better at grasping the key points.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at her, wanting to know what was going on!
"You'll know when the time comes." Su Wan remained mysterious.
"Tsk, you're keeping me in suspense. I'm going to cook!" Su Yun felt it was so boring. This girl Su Wan always liked to mess with people's mentality. He still preferred cooking.
"Is anyone home?" A man was shouting and knocking at the door.
Su Chen immediately recognized that it was his master's voice, so he went out to open the door.
“Here I come!”
When he opened the bamboo fence door, it was indeed his master, holding a few pieces of pork in his hand.
"division……"
"Shh!" Hunter Jiang made a gesture to silence him, signaling him not to shout.
Su Chen finally reacted:
"Hunter Jiang, why are you here?"
"It's me. I'm here to deliver some meat to your house. By the way, where's your sister?"
Uncle Jiang weighed the wild boar meat in his hand and tilted his head to look inside. The Su family only has one girl, Su Wan, so who else can he blame?
When Su Wan heard someone calling him, he moved over and was a little surprised to see it was Hunter Jiang:
"Uncle Jiang, why is it you?"
"Haha, I forgot to tell you the other day, it's thanks to you that you led the wild boar to the trap, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch it. Look, I brought the wild boar back and killed it, and thought of sending you some meat to eat. You also have a contribution, right?" Uncle Jiang smiled heartily.
