Across the Market

Chapter 57

"Shi'an, please save the godmother, you should quickly think of a way to save the godmother." Wei Xue sat limply on the ground, stretching out her hand to grab the corner of Liu Shi'an's robe. Although she was begging for help, she was not arrogant at all. Minus, she said with an old face, "Shi'an, as long as you can save the godmother from prison, the godmother will not lose your benefits in the future. I know what you came back this time, godmother I promise you, I will help you."

Liu Shi'an's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart beat quickened. Originally, he just wanted to go back to this place to relax. He just wanted to see that person again, and he really had no other thoughts.However, now that the godmother had said this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He bent down and stretched out his hand to support Mrs. Wei Xue, and said sincerely: "Godmother, what are you talking about? I am your godson, and I just watched you being wronged, how could I remain indifferent?" Then he straightened up again, clasped his fists at Liao Hongda, and said, "Your Excellency, this is not a murder case, it's just a housework." Thinking about when she just entered the gate of the Jingbin Building, someone said that the godmother was going to beat her granddaughter , in this way, isn't it just a chore?He told Liao Hongda about everything in detail.

After finishing speaking, before Liao Hongda could make a new judgment, he raised his robe and knelt down again, clasped his fists and said, "It is true that Mrs. Wei Xue was wrong, but the crime is not enough to cause him to be imprisoned. Even if Mrs. Wei is imprisoned, Ah Dong Niangqin's health may not be able to get better." He glanced at A Dong, and slowly opened his mouth, "If we use money to exempt Mrs. Wei Xue from prison, then A Dong can also let A Dong go with him. This old man needs more money to improve his life. In the future, we will hire a doctor to take good care of the old man, and buy a maid to serve him, so that the old man can spend his old age in peace."

A few stinky money wanted to avoid the punishment of imprisonment, but A Dong refused. He kowtowed and wanted to continue talking, but his mother grabbed his sleeve.

The old man knew very clearly in her heart that her time was numbered, so what if the old godly woman went to jail?It would be better to pay some money, so A Dongniang tightly grabbed her son's sleeves, knelt down towards Liao Hongda with difficulty, and said weakly: "My lord, pay the money, the woman agrees to pay the money."

"Mother!" Ah Dong wiped away his tears fiercely, and shouted, "We want her to go to jail! Make her suffer! Who told her to kill Mother! Let her die for life!"

"Shut up!" A Dongniang scolded severely, then looked at Liu Shi'an and said, "I promise to pay the money and settle the matter, but if I'm not satisfied with the amount you said, this matter is still unfinished!"

Wei Xue didn't want to go to jail, but asking her to take money would be more uncomfortable than killing her, so she immediately said: "I don't have any money!"

Liu Shi'an said: "This money is naturally paid by the son on behalf of the godmother. This is what the son should honor the godmother."

Wei Xue was stunned for a moment, then burst into joy, and laughed loudly: "Shi'an, the godmother really didn't love you for nothing, you are really a good son of the godmother."

Liao Hongda heard that Liu Shi'an paid for it, so he took the time to look Liu Shi'an up and down. Seeing that he was wearing Shu brocade, his eyes brightened, and he began to think about it.

Liao Hongda blinked Mung Dou's small eyes, looked at A Dong and his mother, then at Liu Shi'an, and asked, "If this old man is willing to accept compensation, how much money do you plan to give?"

Liu Shi'an thought for a while, and then slowly stretched out five fingers. Liao Hongda's eyes lit up, and he asked, "50 taels?"

Liu Shi'an shook his head: "It's 500 taels!"

"500 taels..." Liao Hongda tried his best to open the small eyes of the sesame mung bean, envious and jealous in his heart, how rich this man is, he can take out 500 taels of silver casually.For example, his one-month salary as an official is only 30 taels of silver, which is a full two years of his salary.

A Dongniang crawled up to Liu Shi'an, grabbed his robe and said, "You have no proof, you have to write a contract! And this money must be given to us before noon tomorrow, if you can't fulfill the promise, It's not over!"

Liu Shi'an bent down and helped A Dongniang up with his own hands, but A Dongniang couldn't stand still, she could only stand in front of Liu Shi'an with shaking legs, trembling and said: "Go and write a contract."

Mr. Zhang handed over the pen and paper, and wrote a contract according to A Dongniang's instructions, and then the two parties pressed their fingerprints, and the case was considered closed.

A Dongniang held the contract tightly in her arms, a satisfied smile appeared on her thin face.Those empty eyes also had a little brilliance. She really didn't expect that she would be able to save such a large sum of money for her son when she was dying.

With this money, the son can not only buy a house, but also a maid for a good marriage.

After leaving the hall, Zhu Fu hurried in to support A Dongniang, and looked at A Dong again. Seeing his guilty expression, he sighed heavily in his heart.

"Grandma, where does your family live? I'll take you back." Zhu Fu held A Dongniang's arm, supporting her with A Dong on the left and right.

Adongniang smiled and said: "Our residence is outside the city, but the gate of the city has already been closed at this time. It's okay, our mother and I will spend the night on the street tonight, oh my god, we will soon It’s bright.” Walking outside the door, she looked up at the dark night sky studded with stars, “The sky will soon be bright.”

Zhu Fu said: "It's so cold, how can you live on the street, why don't you find an inn and stay for one night first."

A Dongniang immediately refused: "You don't have to spend money to stay in a hotel! It's okay girl, our mother and son have long been used to it, and we will just spend the night on the street."

Shen Yulou who was walking in front heard this, looked back, he slowed down a bit, and said to Zhu Fu: "Let them stay at my house for one night first, and we will talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow." His voice was faint , although he said the invitation, but the tone was not very enthusiastic.
