Tuan Chong is five and a half years old and started his fortune from farming.

Chapter 217 Threatening for Money
When Du Jiuniang brought her two sons and niece to the Jiang family, the Jiang family was in a state of war and chaos.

"Auntie, please go inside first and enlighten my mother. I will take sister Xuewei and two younger brothers to play in the backyard."

"it is good."

Although Du Jiuniang didn't know what happened, she followed the maid who greeted the guests and walked into the reception area.

"Sister Du, I apologize for the poor hospitality."

Mrs. Liu stood up to greet her. The two hadn't seen each other for a few days, and their greetings were not very polite.

"Sister Liu, what's going on in your family?"

"It's not Brother Chuan's fault. This kid contradicted the Master in the academy and shouted to drop out of school."

"I heard from Brother Xin, the second room mate of the Sun family, that Brother Chuan packed his bags yesterday. If it hadn't been for a break in the academy today, we wouldn't have known about it!"

"Ah? Where is Brother Chuan now? He is good at studying, how can he give up halfway?"

"That kid has many evil ideas. He probably went to Brother Yu. No, the boss is going to the house to capture Brother Chuan and bring him back."

"Hey, as long as the child is safe, he will be taught a lesson when he comes back."

When Du Jiuniang heard the news, she quickly comforted Sister Liu.

She has watched Brother Chuan grow up. He has been studying for several years. It is a pity to give up halfway.

"Forget about the bad things, why do you have time to come to my house today?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and changed the subject.

When the maid at home brought the white fungus soup, she motioned to Sister Du not to be polite and to try it together.

"My husband's cousin, who is also the prefect Duan, and the daughter of his family, has come to my house. He won't be here for more than seven or eight days. It's not easy for a little girl to play with her two cousins ​​all day long.

I thought that Fu Bao had been exchanging letters with Xuewei in the past few years. No, I would bring him over and let the little sisters reminisce about old times. "

Du Jiuniang explained her purpose, and then motioned to the nanny beside her to present the century-old ginseng that she had specially found.
backyard--

This was Duan Xuewei's first visit to Fu Bao's house. To be honest, the entire Jiang family house was not as big as her Fuyu courtyard.

"Wow~"

"Yeah, what is that?"

"Sister Xuewei, those are my Lao Huang's cubs, Xiao Xiao Huang and Xiao Xiao Bai."

"What a cute puppy, can you give me one?"

"No, they haven't been weaned yet. These are puppies. Besides, will your family agree to let you get a dog?"

"Oh, you're right, my mother won't let me raise her, forget it."

"Yeah, please come in. My two cousins ​​are also guests at home. I'll introduce you to them."

"Okay, okay."

"Cousin, this is Miss Duan Xuewei."

"Miss Duan, this is my eldest cousin Liu Xiaoxue, and that is my second cousin Liu Yue."

Fu Bao led people into the backyard, where two cousins ​​were doing embroidery work in the shade under the shed. After hearing the introduction, the two sisters put down their work and stood up to greet Fu Bao.

"Miss Duan~"

"You don't need to be polite."

Several people met each other, and after Fubao's brief introduction, the atmosphere became harmonious.
Anqing Mansion——

Jiang Xiaochuan, who successfully found his brother-in-law and ate and drank with him, said he didn't want to leave.

"Then tell me, why did you give up studying?"

Song Yu went to his wife to take a few days' leave in the morning and was packing his luggage slowly. In fact, he had dropped the letter into the space last night to inform his fiancée.

He knew that his father-in-law would not ignore him and would definitely come to the Ping An Mansion to pick him up.

The current temptation and persuasion are just to lower the brother-in-law's vigilance and trick him into talking.

"Brother-in-law, don't ask, I won't tell you if you ask me~"

Jiang Xiaochuan stuffed meat pie into his mouth and refused to answer the question. "If you don't tell me, how can I help you?"

Song Yu made some movements with his hands and opened his mouth to coax:

"Tell me and I promise not to tell your parents."

"But you will tell my sister, right?"

Jiang Xiaochuan learned to be smart, but only a little bit smarter.

"No, I won't tell your sister. If you tell me, I can still help you. If you don't tell me, you will be beaten when your father comes to find you."

Song Yu shrugged. He would not tell Jiang Xiaochuan's sister, but he did not promise not to tell his fiancée.

Although Jiang Xiaochuan was also enlightened and had studied for several years, he was no match for Song Yu. After a while, he felt that what his brother-in-law said made sense, so he told his brother-in-law what he had encountered.
It turns out that a few months ago, a group of gangsters suddenly came near the academy.

The ruffian has many subordinates. From time to time, he will ambush the students on their way to blackmail them into paying protection fees.

Those whose families were engaged in small business were specially selected, and as for the children of officials and gentry, they were passed over.

Jiang Xiaochuan happened to be a small business owner at home, so he was targeted.

At first he didn't want to give it, but the other party seemed to know him well and threatened him. If he didn't pay the protection money, he would go to his house or his shop to cause trouble.

Jiang Xiaochuan tried to resist, but couldn't beat him.

Later, he wanted to confess to his family, but his father seemed very busy and tired every day.

My sister is also very busy, so busy that she is nowhere to be seen.

His brother-in-law was in Anqing's house and would come back every few months. He was also afraid that if his brother-in-law stood up for him and did anything bad, then he would harm his brother-in-law.

So, after paying protection fees several times, he originally wanted to use money to settle the matter.

But recently, the gang has become more serious, saying that as long as he is in the academy for one day, he will have to pay a day's protection fee!

Okay, then he won’t wait any longer, now there is no reason or excuse to accept it!
"That's the thing. If I really can't study, I'll join the army. I want to be a general in the future!"

Song Yu knocked his brother-in-law on the head, and just because of this little thing, he gave up his literary career and turned to martial arts? !

"Ouch, it hurts~"

Jiang Xiaochuan rubbed his forehead. He had told the truth. Why did his brother-in-law still beat him?
"You're stupid."

Song Yu looked at his brother-in-law with difficulty, thinking that when his uncle came, he would definitely close the door to make it easier for his uncle to teach his son with sticks.

"Brother-in-law~"

Jiang Xiaochuan feels aggrieved. He is always threatened for money. It’s not like he can learn from this!

"My family sends you to study because they want you to be literate and sensible. Look at you. When something like this happens, you don't know how to tell your family, let alone how to resist."

"Brother-in-law, do you have any idea?"

"The solution is simple."

"any solution?"

"When uncle comes, I will accompany you back to the town, deal with this matter, and then come back to study."

"But brother-in-law, it's your schoolwork."

"No problem."

"Brother-in-law, if my parents beat me up, can you help me?"

"No."

"why."

"Because this is what you deserve~"

"what?"

Jiang Xiaochuan felt that the meat pie was not delicious. Thinking of the storm that was coming next, he really wanted to hide in the cracks in the ground!
