Since going to the modern world and earning her own living, she has learned that no one's money comes easily. Shen Danru is disgusted by some deadbeats, so it seems that this girl is not entirely innocent.
But thinking of the system task, Shen Danru could only say, "We can't arrest people."
One of the burly men sized up Shen Danru, his eyes gleaming, and stepped forward to grab her hand: "She won't come with us, why don't you take her place?"
Shen Danru stepped back and angrily said, "Insolence!"
A kind-hearted uncle tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Girl, this is none of your business. You should leave quickly. These creditors are not to be trifled with."
Liu Xiangzhu didn't want to involve innocent people, so she stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you. We don't know this girl, so please don't try anything with her."
Upon hearing this, the couple panicked. The man stepped forward again to protect his daughter, while the woman cried out in despair.
A fierce glint flashed in Shen Danru's eyes: "How much money does she owe you? I'll pay you."
It's just money, she has plenty. Besides, this girl seems righteous and doesn't look like a deadbeat. There must be something going on.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiangzhu was so grateful that the girl was willing to help her that she quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.
The couple also knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Danru, saying, "Thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady."
The creditor held up his hand and shouted, "Two hundred taels."
Chen Danru reached into his sleeve, only to find it empty.
Oh no, how could she have forgotten this? She's no longer a young lady from a noble family, nor is she a wealthy woman from modern times.
Seeing the people around her talking about it, all praising her as a good person.
Shen Danru felt a slight sense of unease: What should I do? What should I do?
How embarrassing.
Shen Danru cleared his throat and said, "Brother, could you give us two days? We will definitely pay you back in full in two days."
"No, you have to pay today. Oh, looks like you don't have any money. If you don't have any money, why are you pretending to be so big-headed? Stop talking nonsense. Brothers, take him away." One of the big men spat at Shen Danru.
Chen Danru retreated repeatedly.
Seeing that Liu Xiangzhu was about to be arrested, Shen Danru anxiously cried out in his heart, "System, system, can points be exchanged for silver?"
"Host, points cannot be exchanged for silver; they can only be used to purchase products in the food mall."
Shen Danru had no choice but to accept her fate; if the mission failed, so be it, there was nothing she could do.
Several burly men kidnapped Liu Xiangzhu, and everyone felt it was a pity, as such a beautiful girl would only end up being sold as payment.
Shen Danru, who had never been poor before, was swayed by two hundred taels of silver. She was momentarily annoyed, as she had never been so poor in her entire life.
For the first time, I realized the importance of money, and the desire to make money took root in my heart.
"Miss, Miss, I've finally found you!" Qingtan couldn't help but push through the crowd and call out when she saw that Chen Danruo was indeed in the crowd.
When everyone saw that she had come to see Shen Danru, they all made way for her.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Seeing that Shen Danru's face looked a little pale, she couldn't help but ask.
"It's alright, Qingtan, let's go."
“Miss, we have some money. I’ll go rent a carriage right away.” Qingtan handed a money bag to Shen Danru.
silver?
Shen Danru took the silver and weighed it in her hand. She felt it was quite a lot, a full one hundred taels.
"Qingtan, where did all this silver come from?"
"Miss, it's money I saved up before, and I left it with a friend."
Shen Danru looked at her suspiciously; this girl could lie without batting an eye.
She had no friends in Shengjing. The day I saved her, she was covered in blood, as if she had been chased.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that when she brought the person home, she instructed her maid to change Qingtan's clothes and noticed that she was wearing a white jade pendant with carved flowers around her neck, which must be related to her identity.
Shen Danru glanced at Qingtan's neck: "Where's your jade pendant?"
Seeing that Shen Danru had guessed, Qingtan didn't dare to look her in the eye, and stammered with her head down, "Miss, it's...it's okay. When we return to Shengjing, I will redeem this jade pendant."
"What if they don't come back?"
"If they can't come back, then forget about them. What material possessions are more important than Miss?"
The young lady took off her clothes and gave up her reputation for her sake, and she was willing to give up this jade pendant for the young lady's sake as well.
They are merely external possessions.
Shen Danru understood the importance of this jade pendant to Qingtan and was deeply moved.
Saving lives is the priority right now; we can figure out how to redeem this girl later.
This girl's jade pendant is worth so much silver, which shows she's not from an ordinary family.
"Qingtan, hurry! Miss Liu has been kidnapped! Stop them!"
Qingtan didn't want to get involved, but since her mistress had ordered it, she had no choice but to go with her to rescue the people.
"Here is one hundred taels of silver. Take it first, release the man, and come back in three days to collect the other one hundred taels."
Shen Danru threw the money bag to the big men, but they refused it outright.
Liu Xiangzhu pulled the hairpin from her hair and stabbed it into her own throat, threatening to kill herself.
If a person dies, they will really lose all their money. Besides, this is not a small amount of money, and they cannot afford to be blamed by their superiors.
Liu Xiangzhu is beautiful, but she's not worth two hundred taels of silver even if you sold her. After discussing it, the group had no choice but to give in.
The two of them untied the rope from Liu Xiangzhu and helped her walk towards Liu's restaurant.
When the Liu couple saw that their daughter had been rescued, they knelt down in front of Shen Danru and expressed their gratitude once again.
Although Liu's shop was just a small wonton stall before, it was enough to support his family, and they lived a pretty good life. In addition, Liu Xiangzhu's father, Liu Nian, was a kind-hearted man on this street. He would give a bowl of food to the elderly, weak, women, and children even if they were short a few coins or had no money. Therefore, the neighbors would patronize his family's business.
Until one day, Liu Nian's good intentions disrupted his life.
Two years ago, one winter, as soon as Liu Nian opened the door, he saw a young man faint in front of the shop. Liu Nian carried the man into the house and asked a doctor to take a look. The doctor said that the man had fainted because he was hungry and cold.
Liu Nian fed the young man hot soup, and he finally woke up.
The young man's name was Wang En. After he recovered from his illness, Liu Nian gave him travel money. Wang En knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that his family had all died and begged Liu Nian to give him a bite to eat. He said he would do anything.
Liu Nian's shop is a small business, which the couple can manage on their own. Occasionally, when they are busy, their daughter Liu Xiangzhu will come to the shop to help out, so there is no need to hire anyone else.
But seeing how pitiful the young man was, they agreed for the time being.
Wang En was initially quite diligent and perceptive, and Liu Nian and his wife were fairly satisfied with him.
After the shop closed at night, Wang En would sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor inside the shop.
One day, Liu Xiangzhu came out of the backyard, and Wang En took a liking to her at first sight. He secretly made up his mind and began to fawn over Liu Xiangzhu.
Liu Xiangzhu didn't like him at first, but she couldn't resist Wang En's constant flattery.
Liu Nian and his wife only have this one daughter, and they are intentionally looking for a son-in-law to live with her.
When Wang En proposed to Liu Nian to marry Liu Xiangzhu, the couple exchanged a glance. They did not immediately agree, but they did not refuse either.
