Qingyun Inn is considered the best inn in Qingdong City. In addition to providing accommodation, the inn also serves meals to the public, which is second to none in Qingdong City.
In the lobby on the first floor, Wang Yi ordered a few side dishes and a large pot of glutinous rice, placed them on the table, and watched Silly Sister eat alone.
Lan Miao had eaten so much that she burped and rolled her eyes. Wang Yi smiled and fanned herself as she watched Silly Sister scoop all the soup from the dish into the big bowl, mixed it with the last bowl of rice, and gulped it down.
After Silly Sister put down her bowl, Wang Yi smiled and asked, "Are you full?"
Silly Sister wiped her mouth embarrassedly: "Auntie, I'm only 80% full!"
"Aren't you full yet?" Lan Miao stared at Silly Sister with her eyes wide open. She was also a person who had never had a full meal, but the three bowls she had just eaten were enough to last her for three days. But Silly Sister ate a whole bowl by herself and said she was 80% full?
You eat so much!
"hey-hey."
Wang Yi fanned Lan Miao with her fan and said, "Don't make fun of me. If you're not full, you can eat tonight. Now, go out for a walk with Auntie."
An important reason for choosing Qingyun Inn to stay is that it is very close to the pawnshop.
Wang Yi still had two boxes of jewelry, and she had only sold a jade dragon paperweight. She wanted to pawn a few sets of less expensive jewelry and get a few hundred taels of silver.
The key point was that her current outfit did not look like that of a wealthy family. If she sold too many, people would suspect that she had stolen them, so in the end she only wrapped three sets of gold jewelry in a handkerchief.
The pawnshop owner spoke in vain, holding the scale bar and raising his eyes, saying, "Three hundred and eighty taels!"
Wang Yi frowned. The price had dropped significantly compared to last time. Perhaps it was because the city had been so chaotic recently that everyone was selling off their belongings.
Okay, that’s not a small amount.
Who picked this up?
With over three hundred taels of silver, if she had gone to a jewelry store at market price, she could only have bought one set at best. But this was a pawnshop, so she had no other options. She had pawned the paperweight before, leaving two hundred taels of silver, and now she had over five hundred more.
If you spend all this money on yourself, you will never be able to spend it all.
The pawnshop and the pawnbroker's office were right next to each other. As soon as Wang Yi came out, he saw a group of people gathered at the door of the pawnbroker's office, laughing and making a lot of noise.
Lan Miao and Silly Sister were left outside by Wang Yi. They were also sitting in the back row, watching with their feet up. Wang Yi asked, "Lan Miao, what's going on?"
"Auntie, come out! Someone's concubine is pulling out several other concubines and saying they want to sell them off. Everyone is laughing."
Concubine selling concubine?
That doesn't make sense.
Wang Yi took advantage of the gap between the crowd to look inside and suddenly saw a familiar person.
It seemed like... it was the woman who had been rescued from domestic violence at Ping Shizhi Clinic that day.
Where did she get these three women from? How did they become concubines? What a mess!
Before Wang Yi knew what was happening, the man had already seen her. She immediately smiled, her bright features full of joy.
"Dr. Wang! Mr. Wang, it's you!"
"Xiao Yunyan, what happened?"
Yes, it was the woman who had suffered another miscarriage after being poisoned by her husband.
Ping Shizhi had left her behind to take good care of her, and Wang Yi had never asked about this person again. Unexpectedly, when they met again, she was already walking briskly and looked so strong.
Her face was rosy and she looked a little fat. Wang Yi went to see her and found that she was as healthy as a young man.
It seems that Ping Shizhi was treated very well.
"Mr. Wang, you don't know how hard I work in the clinic. These three little rascals cry all day long, complaining that my husband only favors me. I'm going to sell them all today to stop them from being an eyesore."
Husband? Clinic? Three hooves?
Wait, why do I remember that Ping Shizhi seemed to have three concubines?
Could it be that...
Sure enough, seeing Wang Yi's confusion, Xiao Yunyan smiled and said a little embarrassedly, "Because it's not convenient to announce my remarriage, Ping Shizhi married me as his second wife without making any announcement. He also didn't invite you to a wedding banquet. It's our fault. Mr. Wang, please don't blame us."
"Will Ping Shizhi marry you as his second wife?"
Wang Yi's eyes widened. Although Xiao Yunyan's last marriage was a failure, she was still a 28-year-old young woman.
In Wang Yi's opinion, she is still a young girl, and in the modern marriage market, she is also a popular age.
Why could you not decide to marry Ping Shizhi, that sixty-year-old man?
Xiao Yunyan said shyly, "Yes, I have never seen anyone treat me so well. He always asks about my health and treats my wounds attentively. You see, I have recovered my health. It is all because of my husband's day and night care for me. Compared to Ren Dazhi, Ping Shizhi is really gentle and considerate."
Wang Yi: "...What about his three concubines?"
"It's an eyesore. Sell it for some silver and save food for the family!" Xiao Yunyan's face showed a sharp expression, without any mercy.
"Wow, we were also loved by our husband. Why did you sell us out? You are just the concubine, not the main wife. We have to wait for our husband to come back!" The three concubines were unwilling to do so. They were tied up by Xiao Yunyan and cried, but their husband was not at home yet.
Ping Shizhi was treating the wounded soldiers in the military camp at this time. These wounded soldiers would become the labor force in my village in the future.
Wang Yi was in a difficult situation. She wanted to speak out, but she didn't have the right stance.
"Shut up! If you cry again, I'll throw you into a mass grave!" Xiao Yunyan was a powerful woman. With a shout, she scared the three concubines and made them cry even harder.
The human trafficker scratched his head, what should he do? Ping Shizhi was well-known in the city, and he had received favors from others.
If he comes to sell it in person, he will dare to buy it.
But his new wife, whom he had not yet married and had not yet held a wedding banquet, came to sell her, and he didn't dare to accept her!
He didn't dare say this directly, fearing to offend Ping Shizhi. The trafficker's eyes fell on Wang Yi, whom he had also heard of. He hurriedly bowed and walked over, "Female doctor, female doctor, please help me. I'm just a small business owner, how dare I offend others? This, this job I can't do!"
Xiao Yunyan also felt a little guilty, but if he didn't get rid of these three as soon as possible, he would be reluctant to let Ping Shizhi come back.
We must take this opportunity to decisively help him solve the problem!
Wang Yi was a little unhappy. What did this matter have to do with me? They forced me into it, and I was in a dilemma.
At this moment, a voice rang out.
Wang Yi turned around and saw Zhao Wu squeeze in from the crowd:
"Wait! Xiao Yunyan, you didn't sign the indentures to sell them. Uncle Ping will make the final decision when he comes back. Why cause unrest in the family?"
Seeing the person coming, Xiao Yunyan curled her lips.
It was that stinky blacksmith again. He didn't know why Ping Shizhi was so respectful to him, and now he was even meddling in the family affairs.
But Xiao Yunyan is smart because she knows the priorities.
She could sell Ping Shizhi's three concubines, but she couldn't disrespect the people Ping Shizhi cared about, so she waved her hand and said to the three women:
"...Humph. I'll spare you today, but if you dare to cry in front of my husband again, I'll definitely sell you out next time!"
Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes, and nodded to Zhao Wu.
The two walked out of the dental clinic one after the other.
