Chapter 227 Pawn

The Wang family's young man was followed by more than a dozen young men to protect him, as if he were protecting a noble young master, staring and coaxing him like pearls.

At this moment, the young man was showing off his power and bullying a young couple from the countryside very domineeringly.

Although the husband looked a bit older, he was a loving wife.

The little woman had a delicate appearance, and her face was full of tears as she cried.

The husband faced the bullying and protected his wife tightly. The wife cried and begged her not to, but she still couldn't stop the young man from stepping forward and kicking her hard.

Zhao Jingmo lowered his head and kept holding Jiang Wancheng's hand tightly.

Jiang Wancheng withdrew his gaze from the young woman's face, and the oxcart slipped past quietly. After it was far away, Zhao Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief.

"It scared me to death. At first, the wife of the Wang family looked at me because of my good looks, and always thought that I would be a fox. Fortunately, my uncle came to redeem me, and the Wang family did not dare to tell this little bully where I was from. , otherwise if I let him watch, I’m afraid it will be difficult for me to escape easily today.”

Only then did Jiang Wancheng realize how much risk Zhao Jingmo had taken to accompany him on this trip.

"Thank you, Mo'er."

Zhao Jingmo held her hand back: "You're welcome. I'm your only friend. If I don't help you, who will I help?"

Before dark, we finally made it back to Zhaojiacun.

After Jiang Wancheng took Sister Ya home, he started making plain clothes in full swing.

One large, two small, three pure white clothes, Jiang Wancheng stayed up all night and roughly finished them.

Jiang Wancheng only rested for a while and then got up again.

Wen Erlang had already made breakfast. When he saw her coming out, he said in a low voice: "Sister, when I got up, I saw that you were not asleep yet. Why don't you sleep a little longer."

Jiang Wancheng shook his head and sighed: "I can't sleep, I won't sleep anymore. Erlang, let's go back to Wushan today."

Wen Erlang raised his head and asked, "Do you want to ask for leave from Master?"

Jiang Wancheng nodded: "Please. Please give me half a month, and I will take you and Sister Ya to Fujun County together."

It wasn’t that she was taking her two children on a long adventure.

In fact, she knew clearly that if she went out alone, even if the two of them accepted it on the surface, they would still be filled with fear in their hearts.

How could she bear to let the two of them endure the torture of being abandoned and left behind?

The most important thing is that Wen Chaoyan has raised the two of them by himself since he was fifteen years old. To them, he is both a brother and a father-like existence.

They should join her in finding him home in person.

When Wen Erlang went to school to take leave and came back, Jiang Wancheng had almost packed his luggage.

I packed some clothes, brought some books to Wen Erlang, and then the most valuable belongings in the family.

When Jiang Wancheng went to Qingyang Town yesterday, he finally pawned King Duan's finger.

Because it was a dead giveaway and she knew it was worth a thousand taels, she asked for two hundred taels.

The other party originally wanted to bargain with her, but Jiang Wancheng said directly: "I know the value of this thing. If you make this deal with me, you will actually make five or six times the profit. Do you really think that everyone else is a fool? "

"Anyway, I will send someone to Fujun County recently. If you don't sincerely want it, I will send it to Fujun County. I don't know how much bigger the pawnshop there is than here, so naturally they can accept this treasure!"

After saying that, she was about to take her finger back.

How dare this pawn shop let her, a fat sheep, go?

He immediately took out two hundred taels of silver notes.

After Jiang Wancheng went out, he and Zhao Jingmo walked cautiously around, and even smeared flowers on their faces before they dared to return to the medicine hall.

So, now she has two hundred taels of silver notes, six ingots and ten taels of silver, four taels of broken silver and some copper coins.

Jiang Wancheng put all the scattered copper coins in the money bag and hung it around his waist.

The four taels of broken silver and the few copper coins were placed in the package so that they could be taken at any time.

The remaining silver notes, those ten taels of silver ingots, and the small gold medal given by the master were all wrapped up individually one by one, and then sewn onto the underwear worn next to the body.

Jiang Wancheng made several inner pockets. Not just placed inside, but sewn firmly inside.

She knew that carrying so much money on her body was a curse rather than a blessing.

Therefore, one can only be extremely cautious.

But there were too many things inside the clothes, so the jade pendants and silver hairpins could only be thrown into the mahogany box and then wrapped tightly in the baggage.

Seeing that she had brought all her belongings with her, Wen Erlang couldn't help but asked her: "Sister, aren't we coming back?"

Jiang Wancheng: "Erlang, people's hearts are unpredictable, and a big tree attracts the wind. My sister was pawned as a ring finger in the town. Sister Mo won't say it, but there's no guarantee that the pawnshop owner won't spread the word. To be cautious, we can't hide these belongings in our home. .”

"Furthermore, wherever the three of us are now, that is our home, so naturally we can only take our belongings with us."

After hearing this, Wen Erlang pondered for a moment and then nodded heavily.

At this moment, someone came looking for him outside the hospital.

It was the entourage sent by Manager Liu to guide her.

Jiang Wancheng immediately took it and asked if the money had been collected.

If you come directly to her, she will give it to you again.

The attendant said: "Don't worry, lady, Doctor Zhao from the medicine hall has already paid."

After saying that, the entourage left in a hurry.

When he walked away, Jiang Wancheng immediately locked the door and was about to leave with his two children when Zhao Qian and Zhao Wu came again.

"Miss Jiang, when I heard that you are going back to Wushan, let us two take you there! Otherwise, everyone in our village will be worried!"

Jiang Wancheng looked at Wen Erlang hesitantly, and Wen Erlang nodded to her.

Jiang Wancheng said: "Then I'll trouble you two gentlemen."

Holding Wen Chaoyan's bloody clothes in her hands, she got on the bullock cart driven by Zhao Qian and Zhao Wu.

Everyone in the village who saw them outside waved to them.

Jiang Wancheng looked at this quiet little village and felt really reluctant to leave.

If possible, she really wanted to live here in peace and stability until she grew old.

However, living in this troubled world of warts, ulcers and rotten stench, it is really difficult to find a corner of peace...

When they arrived at the foot of Wushan Mountain, Jiang Wancheng wanted to pay the fare to Zhao Qian and the others, but unexpectedly they turned around and ran away.

Before running away, he even threw a money bag at her feet.

"Miss Jiang, our entire Zhaojia Village is waiting for you to come back!"

They waved in the distance and then quickly disappeared.

Jiang Wancheng has never seen a cow run so fast...

Sister Ya picked up the money bag from the ground and exclaimed: "Sister, there is a lot of money in it..."

Jiang Wancheng took a look and found that in addition to the seven taels and four ounces of silver she had given them before, there was actually another five taels of silver.

Jiang Wancheng knew who had returned it at a glance.

She held the silver bag in her hand tightly, her eyes swollen and sore.

Then he looked at Wen Erlang and sighed: "Erlang, Zhaojiacun really doesn't owe us anything..."

She looked up at the sky and saw an eagle flying overhead and circling.

Jiang Wancheng couldn't hold back the tears after all.
