That day, after Wu Yanniang used most of the money to handle household registration, rent a house and other matters, the two prepared to go to Dongjia Village.
Just as she was about to leave, Wu Yanniang accidentally fell down the stairs of the inn.
Kacha!
Wu Yanniang's leg was broken.
"Mother Yan! Are you okay?"
"Woo woo! Yan Niang, please don't get into trouble!"
"Someone come! Someone come and help!"
Gu Qingcheng vividly portrayed the appearance of a truly loving husband who was so concerned that he was confused, crying and calling for help.
Soon, the innkeeper, waiters, passengers and others all gathered around.
Everyone rushed to send Wu Yanniang to a nearby clinic.
"The leg bone is broken, just connect it!"
The doctor felt the wound and then treated Wu Yanniang's broken leg.
Then, there was the medical expenses: "Cheng Hui, eight hundred and twenty coins."
Wu Yanniang's face was already pale, and when she heard the expensive medical expenses, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart.
It was almost one string of coins, and she didn't have much money on hand.
I just completed the household registration process and have already spent most of it.
Now there is only one tael of money left.
Furthermore, her leg was injured and she could no longer earn money.
As for Ajiu, his old injuries have not healed and he has lost his memory. He cannot be a normal man at all.
Whether he can make money is one thing, but Wu Yan's mother is worried that if he runs away, he may never come back!
What to do if you have no money?
"Niang Yan, how about we sell the donkey cart first?"
Wu Yanniang: ...That’s the only way.
So the donkey cart was sold.
However, for two injured people, not to mention the medical expenses, even the rent of the inn and the cost of three meals a day all cost money.
"Niang Yan, how about I find a job? I can read! Even if I go to the streets and copy for people, I can earn some money."
"No! Y-your leg isn't healed yet!"
Wu Yanniang directly denied it.
First of all, I really feel sorry for his legs.
Secondly, as an outsider, it is impossible to find a job without a guarantor.
Thirdly, Wu Yanniang still didn't want Gu Qingcheng to show up in public.
She's too good looking, so the chances of being snatched away are too high.
"How about pawning the jade pendant first?"
Gu Qingcheng made several suggestions in succession, but they were all rejected by Wu Yanniang.
Then, she bit her lip, with reluctance in her eyes, but still said these words.
Wu Yanniang: ...Yes! And the jade pendant!
Although, she was reluctant to part with it and wanted to keep it as a family heirloom.
But now, both the couple can hardly survive.
Heirlooms aren't that important anymore.
The key point is that she is the one who is injured, and she is the one who needs good medicinal materials and bone soup to nourish her body.
Wu Yanniang did not want to wrong Gu Qingcheng, and she did not want to wrong herself.
"All right!"
Wu Yanniang hesitated for a moment and then took out the jade pendant from her arms.
She solemnly handed it to Gu Qingcheng, "Ajiu, this jade pendant is worth at least one hundred strings of cash."
"However, since we are doing it for a living, the price may be lower."
"I asked the shopkeeper. There's a Qingji Pawnshop on the street ahead. It's said to be owned by a nobleman in the capital, so the prices are relatively fair..."
Wu Yanniang kept nagging and giving instructions like an old mother who was worried about her son.
"Hmm! Hmm!"
Gu Qingcheng responded obediently, just like a good baby who only listens to his mother!
Wu Yanniang became more and more worried.
She subconsciously tried to get up, but it pulled her broken leg, causing her to gasp in pain.
It seems that she can only let "Ajiu" go by himself!
well!
I hope "Ajiu" can go back quickly and get the money back smoothly!
"Go!"
With tears in her eyes, Wu Yanniang watched Gu Qingcheng leave.
She didn't know why, but she always had a bad feeling.
Soon, the premonition came true.
"Ajiu" went away for a long time but didn't come back.
Wu Yanniang could only call the clerk, give him two copper coins, and ask him to go to Qingji Pawnshop to check.
After a while, the boy came back running happily.
"I didn't see your husband!"
"but--"
Having said that, the young man looked embarrassed, but there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
"I heard that half an hour ago, a carriage hit a passerby at an intersection near Qingji Pawn Shop."
"That noble man was very kind and had the man carried away! Alas, I don't know whether he is alive or dead."
"I, I also heard that the passerby was very young, wearing an indigo robe."
Indigo robe?
Wu Yanniang's face turned pale in an instant.
Her Ah Jiu was wearing indigo clothes.
Could it be him?
Ajiu is dead?
Or was he rescued by someone?
Wu Yanniang's heart was in a mess.
Of course, she did not overlook one problem: Jiu was also carrying their most valuable jade pendant.
What about the jade pendant?
What should she do without the jade pendant and without her husband?
"Young lady? Are you, are you okay?"
The waiter looked to be in his twenties, and was very concerned when he saw Wu Yanniang's expression.
Wu Yanniang's mind moved slightly, and she had an idea...
