"Did you lend money to your sister?"

Huang Jianye rubbed his ears and replied aggrievedly, "All our family's money is with you. How can I borrow money from others?"

Song Tingfeng pointed at the candy on the table, "She bought things here without borrowing money? Do you think I'm stupid? Huang Jianye, tell me clearly, how much money did you borrow?"

I had bad luck tonight and lost several dollars. When I got home, my wife still wouldn't let me go. Huang Jianye was immediately very upset.

"This candy was bought by my niece!"

Song Tingfeng was stunned, "Huang Yao is back?"

"It's not Huang Yao, what was her name, Momo or something, oh, I can't remember clearly, I just heard from my sister that she came from Jiang City to look for her relatives."

Song Tingfeng was skeptical and didn't continue to pester him, but he was planning to ask someone about it tomorrow.

When Yun Mo was awakened by Huang Zhiqiu, she couldn't open her eyes. Finally, she covered her face with a towel soaked in cold water and barely got out of bed.

It was pitch dark on the winding mountain road. From time to time, the sound of dogs barking and chickens crowing could be heard in the distance. With the help of the faint light of the fire, Yun Mo followed Huang Zhiqiu out of the village, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

The Huang family had no flashlights and could only use homemade torches to light the way.

I don’t know how long they walked, but there was finally a ray of light in the sky. Before Yun Mo could say she was tired, Huang Jianjun stopped.

"Little sister, Momo, huh, let's take a break."

Although he was a farmer, he was still exhausted and out of breath after carrying a person weighing over 100 pounds on his back for more than half an hour on the mountain road.

After Huang Jianjun put Yang Xinghua down, Huang Zhiqiu hurriedly handed her a kettle.

"Brother, drink some water."

"Mom, let me take a sip first. My throat is about to smoke."

Huang Zhiqiu didn't expect his daughter to be so ignorant and fight for water at this time. Just as he was about to lecture her, Huang Jianjun waved his hand at her and said, "It's okay. Give Momo some tea first. I'm not thirsty, but my legs are a little weak."

"Thank you, uncle."

Yun Mo took the kettle and pretended to drink two sips, but in fact she quietly poured some spiritual spring water into the kettle.

Lingquan water has the effect of strengthening the body and eliminating fatigue.

After drinking the water mixed with spiritual spring water, Huang Jianjun felt refreshed all over, as if he had endless energy.

Soon, the group continued on their way.

In this way, after walking and resting, we finally arrived at the bus station in the town before 8 o'clock.

There are only two buses from the town to the city every day, at 8:30 in the morning and 1:30 in the afternoon.

Huang Jianjun accompanied Yang Xinghua in the waiting room while Yun Mo accompanied Huang Zhiqiu to buy tickets.

"How much are four tickets to Anshi?"

"36 dollars."

Huang Zhiqiu was a little anxious, "Why 36? Isn't the ticket to the city 8 yuan?"

The ticket agent rolled his eyes at her impatiently, and said in a very impatient tone, "That was a long time ago. The price has already gone up. Do you want to buy or not? If not, please make way for others and don't delay the purchase of tickets."

Huang Zhiqiu looked at Yun Mo with a flushed face, "Mo Mo, I don't have enough money on me!"

"Mom, it's okay. I have it."

Yun Mo took out the money from her pocket, counted out four ten-dollar bills and handed them into the ticket window.

After getting the ticket, Huang Zhiqiu stuffed the 35 yuan in his hand into her hand.

"Momo, take these first. I'll return the rest to you when I have them."

As she spoke, Yun Mo took out some of her own money and stuffed it all in with Huang Zhiqiu's own money, "Mom, keep this money for self-defense. You'll need money everywhere when you go to the city."

"Need not……"

"Mom, put the money away quickly. There are so many people at the station, be careful of being targeted by bad guys."

Seeing that there were indeed people looking over here, Huang Zhiqiu had no choice but to put the money in his bag and hold it with his hand while walking, for fear that it would be stolen by a pickpocket.

The car set off on time at 8:30.

Perhaps because of her previous experience, Yun Mo not only did not feel carsick this time, but was also in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Along the road are corn fields laden with fruits. The straight corn stalks stand neatly and upright on the fertile soil like sentinels.

The rice fields in the distance look like a green blanket. When the breeze blows, the green waves fly. It is so beautiful.

Having gotten up too early in the morning and walking 20 miles along the mountain road, Yun Mo quickly fell asleep in the picturesque scenery.

When I woke up, the bus had already arrived at Anshi Bus Station.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It was lunch time, so the three got off the car, carried Yang Xinghua on their backs, found a small restaurant to eat something, and then took a taxi to Anshi People's Hospital.

As soon as the doctor saw Yang Xinghua's legs, he immediately decided to hospitalize her.

After completing the hospitalization procedures, Huang Zhiqiu stayed in the ward to take care of Yang Xinghua, while Yun Mo took Huang Jianjun to the gold shop to sell bracelets to raise money.

There was no mobile phone network in that era, and Yun Mo was not familiar with Anshi. She was afraid of encountering a black shop and being forced to pay a low price. Yun Mo did not act rashly, but asked the taxi driver which famous gold shops there were. Then she looked at them one by one and finally chose an old gold shop with the longest history.

"What would you two like to choose?"

Although the gold shop is not big, it has a complete range of products, including gold, silver, jade and other precious stones.

Yun Mo casually walked around and pointed at a gold bracelet on the gold counter and asked the price.

"How much is this bracelet?"

Maybe because Yun Mo was too young and Huang Jianjun was dressed poorly and didn't look like he could afford a gold bracelet, the clerk didn't take the bracelet out of the counter, but his attitude was still patient.

"This is pure gold of the highest quality, weighing 41 grams, made with silk flower-pinching craftsmanship. The price of the gold plus the labor cost is 888 yuan."

Huang Jianjun, who was standing by, gasped when he heard the price.

Because it is a solid bracelet, the bracelet body looks to be about the size of a chopstick, especially the thin end.

But just to buy such a small bracelet, their whole family would have to go without food and drink for three years.

The current international gold price is around 20 yuan per gram, with a fluctuation of no more than 10%. Based on weight, the bracelet is worth 820 yuan, and the remaining 68 yuan is labor cost.

Fair enough.

Yun Mo looked around and asked the clerk with a smile, "Is your boss here? Or someone who can make the decision. I have something here and I'd like him to take a look at it."

With the introduction of the shop assistant, Yun Mo soon met the owner of the gold shop.

A middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, with a shrewd smile on his face, but he didn't look like a cunning person.

"Little girl, do you have something to give?"

I have to say that the boss has a keen eye.

Between Yun Mo and Huang Jianjun, Huang Jianjun was obviously older and could be seen as the parent at first glance, but the boss went straight to ask Yun Mo.

Yun Mo didn't beat around the bush and directly took out the gold bracelet.

The moment he saw the bracelet, a flash of amazement flashed across the boss's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
