Chapter 101 Qin Eryong borrows money
Ye Beixiu was like an ant on the hot pan.
It was already dark, and Zhang Juexia had not returned home yet. He could no longer stay at home.
He insisted on going out to look for Zhang Juexia.
"Do you run faster than others? Or do you walk better than others?"
Liu Mingda's two sentences made Ye Beixiu lose his temper.
"I'm worried about my daughter-in-law. Even if I have to crawl, I have to go to greet her."
"Just forget it and don't cause trouble for your wife.
She must have been delayed by something and should be back soon."
"Then I have to go."
Liu Mingda stopped Ye Beixiu from leaving the house. When the two of them were arguing, Gancao volunteered, "I'll go out and take a look. You two are really annoying."
"Light the torches."
Before the torches over there were lit, the sound of galloping horses was heard getting closer and closer. Ye Beixiu limped out desperately.
"My lady, you are finally back."
Zhang Juexia was extremely flustered. She looked around and lowered her voice, "Let's go inside and talk."
When the carriage drove into the house, Zhang Juexia ran quickly and closed the door, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Beixiu had noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Juexia, "Madam, what happened?"
"Let's go inside and talk."
Zhang Juexia took out a heavy bag from the carriage and placed it on the table.
She gestured to Ye Beixiu, "Open it and take a look."
After Ye Beixiu opened it, he was stunned, "This..."
Liu Mingda had entered the house at some point and broke the silence. "Did you encounter this on the way?"
"Yeah, I ran into it halfway, but it's also thanks to Ah Hua. It stopped and wouldn't move, so I came down to check, and that's when I found this."
Liu Mingda picked it up and took a look. "This is official silver."
"this......"
Liu Mingda looked at the expressions of Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu and smiled. "Isn't it just government silver? Why are you two making such a fuss? Just find a place to melt it down into small pieces when you have time."
"I was thinking about returning the silver to its original owner! What if the person who lost the silver finds it?"
"This silver has no mark on it, so how can we tell who lost it? Since you were lucky enough to find it, it's yours.
Hurry and put it away. If you have nothing else to do, take a rest and let your husband cook. I am starving."
Since Liu Mingda said so, Zhang Juexia no longer worried about it. After all, he was lucky.
She hid the silver, sat on a chair, drank a few sips of water, and calmed herself down.
Ye Beixiu had prepared the meal over there. She ate a few bites and went to rest on the kang.
In the middle of the night, Ye Beixiu leaned against her side and said, "My dear, I was so worried. Next time you go out to do something, you should ask your elder brother to help you!"
After the New Year, my legs will be healed, and I won't let you suffer like this anymore."
"Well, actually I'm a little scared too. Logically I should be happy to have found some silver, but for some reason I just feel a little uneasy."
Ye Beixiu's big hands embraced Zhang Juexia and said, "Don't think too much. I'll take care of everything."
When Zhang Juexia woke up, Ye Beixiu and Liu Mingda had already set up stakes in the yard.
She thought about what happened yesterday and decided that she needed to exercise more.
If that doesn't work, you have to learn a few simple moves from them in case of emergency.
Zhang Juexia followed them and practiced for a while before hearing someone knocking on the door hurriedly.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Ye Beixiu signaled her not to panic and strode to open the door.
"Brother Bei Xiu, are you at home?"
"Why are you knocking so hard?"
"Your new house is quite large, so I'm worried that you won't be able to hear me."
Zhang Juexia had already guessed that the person was Qin Eryong by the voice, so he was no longer so panicked.
Liu Mingda half-opened his eyes and sighed, "Don't panic no matter what happens. This is not a big deal."
After saying this, he restrained his breath and said, "You have things to do, so I will naturally step aside for a while."
Qin Eryong said that he had something to discuss with Ye Beixiu and wanted to go into the house to talk.
Ye Beixiu insisted on talking at the door, and the two of them were deadlocked.
"Husband, please let him in! It's so cold, it's not the right way to entertain guests!"
"Brother Bei Xiu, look at you. Why are you being so distant with me? Even though we can't be relatives anymore, we're still from the same village."
Ye Beixiu brought Qin Eryong into the yard, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Qin Eryong's eyes were darting around, and Ye Beixiu reached out and turned his head. "Believe it or not, I can slap your head and make it crooked."
"I believe it. I believe it."
"If you have nothing to do, come back!"
"Brother Bei Xiu, I really have something to ask you. Can you lend me five taels of silver?"
Zhang Juexia's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he saw her picking up the silver yesterday? She quickly rejected the idea.
After all, she had confirmed that there was no one else around.
Ye Beixiu turned around and gave her a reassuring look before asking Qin Eryong, "Why did you borrow the money?"
Qin Eryong chuckled, "A few days ago, my grandma found a wife for me. Although she's not as pretty as my sister-in-law, I fell in love with her at first sight.
Look, they want a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, not a penny less.
I was determined to marry that girl, but my family could only muster five taels of silver, not a penny more.
I've thought about it, and now in our village, only Brother Bei Xiu can come up with five taels of silver, so I have the audacity to come to you to borrow money."
"I heard your sister got married a few days ago. Why didn't your family collect the betrothal gift?"
"Hey, Brother Bei Xiu, don't mention this anymore. I listened to you and didn't let my sister marry that widower.
But my new brother-in-law's family was so poor that they scraped together five taels of silver and gave it to our family."
"So, you blame me for your sister's affairs."
"How could that be? It has nothing to do with you, Brother Bei Xiu. She is my biological sister after all. I can't just care about money and ignore her life or death."
"You seem to have some conscience, but your family still owes me eight hundred coins. You should still remember that!"
"I remember. I remember."
"Brother Bei Xiu, you see, I have been by your side since we were young, always calling you brother.
It was indeed my grandmother who was unkind in what happened to my sister, but she got what she deserved.
You can't just watch me being single."
Ye Beixiu laughed, "So if I don't lend you the money, and you can't get married, it will be my fault."
"That's impossible. I saw that Brother Bei Xiu is the most powerful person in our village and he offered five taels of silver."
"You're such a smooth talker. I've really wronged you in this mountain village. I need to discuss the money with your sister-in-law before making a decision."
