Eldest daughter

Chapter 318 Desperate

Mrs. Zhang just feels that things are not going well recently, all the ugly and ugly people come together, even if she wants to borrow some money, there is no way, no one is willing to lend her, not even Chun'er's soft little hoof. she.

All of them are used to doing superficial work.

Mrs. Zhang yelled, spit a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and cursed bitterly.

Walking to the door, Mrs. Zhang could not help frowning when she saw someone poking her head in front of the door.

"Hey, who are you, sneaky..." Mrs. Zhang walked over and scolded, and when she saw the man's appearance clearly, her expression changed.

Her footsteps became quicker, and she dragged the man into the alley opposite the front of the house angrily, and said angrily, "Takako, what are you doing here?"

The man named Guizi flicked the wrinkles on his sleeves, raised his eyebrows and replied, "What are you doing here, of course I'm looking for you, Second Wife Wang!"

This person is not anyone, but the second child in the gambling game, that is, the man who pulled Mrs. Zhang into the gambling game that day—Takako.

"Why did you find me, and you came to my house." Mrs. Zhang was even more annoyed when she heard this. It would be a big deal if the family members knew about this noble son.

"What are you doing?" Gui Zi laughed, slowly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and opened it up: "The second sister-in-law Wang probably forgot this, right?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at it, and stretched out her hand to snatch it. Guizi let out a hey, quickly withdrew his hand, folded it again, and gave her a contemptuous glance.

"It's been almost five days. The second sister-in-law Wang has been in our gambling game every day. She can't see her for a few days. If she doesn't come here to look for you, where can she look for her? Oh, should I look for it at Wangji Foreign Firm?" Gui Zi seemed to smile. Not laughing.

"You dare!" Zhang stared, but when he saw his raised eyebrows looking reassuring, he softened his voice: "What exactly do you want?"

"I don't like to hear what Second Sister-in-law Wang said. What do I think? I'm asking Second Sister-in-law what she wants. It's only natural to pay off debts. Does Second Sister-in-law want to be a bad boy?" Guizi laughed.

"Brave? What bastard, I will run away and you will lose 30 taels?" Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth.

"Second sister-in-law Wang's family has such a big foreign company and such a good niece. Naturally, she is not afraid of you running away. But you see, it has been a few days, and the second sister-in-law has not come to pay off the debt. I am not afraid that you are busy with your affairs. Come on Do I remind you?" Guizi smiled rascally and obsequiously.

"It's good that you know, why don't you leave quickly?" Mrs. Zhang looked carefully at the entrance of the alley, for fear that her family would see her.

"Let's go, let's go, before I go, I want to ask you, my second sister-in-law, when will you pay back the money?" Guizi raised the paper in his hand and said, "Seeing that you are a regular customer, I might as well remind you that everything must be paid back." It's been five days, and the interest rate is going to increase, even the principal with interest, 40 taels!"

"What?" Mrs. Zhang's voice rose sharply, her eyes widened, and she said, "Are you crazy? It's only been a few days, and it's only ten taels of interest. Why don't you snatch it? I won't pay it back!"

Guizi's face sank, and he said, "Second Wife Wang, don't you know about the market for usury? No one in this world knows about it. If you don't pay it back, that's fine. I'll find Second Brother Wang. Go!" After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked away.

Looking for Wang Er, is that okay?

Without even thinking about it, Mrs. Zhang pulled him, walked in front of him, and said anxiously: "It's not that I won't pay it back, but you are too outrageous."

"Second brother Wang will definitely pay it back." Guizi said leisurely without looking at her at all.

"You!" Zhang was so angry that she almost jumped up and tore him apart, but the situation was no better than others, so she could only bow her head and said, "40 taels is 40 taels. If you let me go for two days, I will definitely pay you back." .”

"Second sister-in-law Wang, every day is getting bigger."

"It's only two days, I will definitely return it!" Mrs. Zhang stomped her feet and said, "But one thing, you are not allowed to come to my house again, and you are not allowed to go to my shop!"

I really want my family to know that she gambled and borrowed a usury loan, so they don't want to finance her!
"Okay, I believe Second Sister-in-law Wang won't break her promise, so it's a deal, I'll wait for you!" Guizi smiled ambiguously.

Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sent the plague god away!
The two turned around, and they didn't know whether it was because they were dazzled or something, but out of the corner of Zhang's eyes, he saw a figure flashing by at the entrance of the alley.

……

From 30 taels to 40 taels, this is imminent, Zhang once again put his mind on the batch of grain at home.

She knew where the kiln of the Wang family was. When they first got married, Wang Er took her to the kiln to have a look.

Thinking of the past, Mrs. Zhang's face became hot, and she quickly patted her face. Now is not the time to think about these things.

To sell grain, the first thing to do is to transport the grain, which can't be done in broad daylight, but what excuse does she have for not going home?
Mrs. Zhang thought about it, and there it is!

She gritted her teeth and walked into Zhongji's grain store. Zhongji was famous for being a hacker, but she couldn't find a good reputation, because then her business of selling grain would be exposed.

After talking about a cup of tea in Zhongji, Mrs. Zhang abducted to her mother's house, first glanced at her, and then whispered a few words to her nephew Liangzi.

The price Zhong Ji gave her was not as high as outside, it was one tael or two and one stone, but she promised to keep it strictly confidential, so she could only admit it.

When the family was separated, the big house and the second room were divided into seven acres of land each. Because the second room still lived with the parents-in-law, the grain in this field was also harvested together. Thirteen acres of fertile land, [-]% of the rent, is also called a bumper harvest this year, so The harvested grain was nearly [-] shi.

Mrs. Zhang did the math secretly, she said that at least she took 15 taels of silver from Wang Er and sold another [-] shi of grain, which should be enough.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to sell them all, but she was guilty and bold, so she couldn't guarantee it, and she wanted some leftovers.

After the arrangement was made, Mrs. Zhang went to tell Mrs. Wang after lunch that she would go back to her mother's house for a day and take care of her.

When he said this, Wang Yuan'er happened to bring mooncakes to Mrs. Wang, and after hearing this, she asked, "Second Aunt, is your mother-in-law seriously ill?"

Zhang's eyes dodged a little, and said: "It's because I can't get up anymore, so I went back to have a look."

"It's time to hire a good doctor. I heard from Chun'er that you want to borrow 30 taels of silver for my in-laws to see a doctor? What kind of illness does it cost so much money?"

She acted like she was asking the bottom line, and Mrs. Zhang couldn't help being annoyed, and said, "It's not like you don't know what's going on with my natal family. At the beginning, the merchant ship I invested in lost 500 taels, and my eldest brother also disappeared. Life is very sad. Now I Mother is sick, what's so special about not having money to treat her?"

Having said that, she vented their anger for not borrowing money: "That's my own mother, who gave birth to me and raised me, can I still watch her die? I'm not like some people, who are cold-blooded and ruthless. I don’t even want to borrow life-saving money.”

Wang Yuan'er didn't react when she heard this, but Mrs. Wang's face sank first, and she said, "Are you blaming me?"

Doesn't Mrs. Zhang just scold her together?
Hearing that Mrs. Wang's tone was unpleasant, Mrs. Zhang flustered slightly, and sneered: "How dare I, didn't Erlang also give me ten or so taels of silver? I know what motherhood means, so he dare not give it."

At least I wiped Mrs. Wang's shoes!
Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "Your natal brothers are all useless. My mother is dying of illness and can't even raise any money. You have to rely on your married daughter. Shame on you!"

Zhang smiled awkwardly.

"Go, go, don't be embarrassing here, I'm bored!" Mrs. Wang waved impatiently.

"Mother, I'll be back tomorrow." Mrs. Zhang hurried away as if she had been pardoned.

Wang Yuaner looked at her back with a thoughtful expression.

Mrs. Wang was still criticizing Zhang's men for being useless, seeing her in a daze, she couldn't help waving her hands.

"Grandma, did second uncle really give money to second aunt?" Wang Yuan'er asked.

"Yes, she is crying and crying, and it's all about filial piety, can your second uncle not give it?" Wang Pozi said with a dark face: "Your second aunt is facing her natal family. If I become sick like this in the future, I'm afraid She took the mat and rolled me up the mountain, why don't you treat me, bah!"

Wang Yuan'er hurriedly laughed and said, "Grandma will live a long and healthy life, free from disease and disaster."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was heartbroken and nodded, "I hope so."

Wang Yuan'er chatted and laughed with her, but she still had doubts about her second aunt. When she got home, she called Uncle Cai and asked him to follow her second aunt to see if she really went to her natal house.

Uncle Cai followed all the way to Zhangjiaao, watched Mrs. Zhang enter her mother's house, and waited for two hours. Seeing that it was getting dark, he came back to report to Wang Yuaner.

"Could it be that you really used money to treat Mrs. Zhang's illness?" Wang Yuan'er said to herself after hearing Uncle Cai's report.

They didn't know that when the sky was dark and everything was silent, Mrs. Zhang was dressed in darkness and returned to the town with her natal nephew.

It was early autumn, and it became cooler at night, but Mrs. Zhang was sweating all over her forehead, she was panicking.

She has grown up so much, she has never done anything to steal into her own house, this time, she was also in a panic, trembling, she took Liangzi to the kiln, took out the key stolen from Wang Er, and shook her hands to pick the lock.

Wang Wang Wang!
Not far away, there was a dog barking, which was very clear in the silent night. Mrs. Zhang shook her hand in fright, and the key fell to the ground.

"Auntie, let me tell you, are you stupid to take the key and tell the Wang family for no apparent reason, is this done by your own family?" Liangzi sneered while holding a torch.

When Mrs. Zhang heard it, yes, wouldn't the intact lock be revealed?
"What should I do then?" She asked stupidly.

Ryoko rolled her eyes, looked on the ground, put the torch into her hand, moved a big rock, and smashed the lock directly.

Zhang was dumbfounded.

Liangzi entered the kiln and said, "Auntie, if you don't come in and move, do you really want me to move them all?"

"Oh." Mrs. Zhang swallowed her saliva and followed in.

The arrow is on the string, and she has no choice but to take the risk. She has no choice but to take such a risk. It's amazing that she won't gamble in the future, just treat the food as stolen.

After moving twenty shi back and forth, Mrs. Zhang said it was enough, but Liangzi said: "Auntie, you are too cowardly to be a thief. Did someone steal half of the things? What are you pretending to sell? !"

"How can this work?" Mrs. Zhang was taken aback and grabbed his hand.

"Then you wait until you are found." Liangzi took time off.

Zhang Shi pursed her lips, and gradually loosened her hands. She kept doing things without any reason.
