Chapter 65
Juan'er cried out in a low voice: "Brother Yang, if you marry me, it will only be your burden. How can those people in my family be filled with mere 50 taels of silver? You gave them today 50 taels, and I will try my best to ask you for 100 taels in the next few days! Why do you have to share such a burden for someone like me?"

Yang Tianxing sighed: "How can your family be a burden? I am willing. What's more, although I don't have much money now, we are still young and have a long life. How can we be poor for a lifetime?"

Pei Jing twitched his chin and said, "That being said, it's not such a hassle to be rich, you have to find a solution once and for all."

Chen Miao glanced at him: "They are close relatives, can Juan'er sever ties with them?"

Pei Jing smiled and said, "Why don't you elope with Juan'er, Brother Yang? Now you can even save money."

Chen Miao glared at him: "Bad idea!"

Pei Jing smiled embarrassingly, Chen Miao took Juan'er's hand and said: "You still need to think long-term about this matter, I suggest taking it slow first."

Juan'er nodded, "I can wait for about four or five days. If it takes longer, I'm afraid that family will sue my elder brother."

Chen Miao nodded and said, "I can save it."

Chen Miao stood up, asked Yang Tianxing and Juan'er to look at the store, pulled Pei Jing to stand up and left.

Pei Jing asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Chen Miao said without turning her head, "Just follow me."

Chen Miao took Pei Jing to Juan'er's house, but she didn't go in, she just hid in the dark and carefully observed the situation of Juan'er's house.

Juan'er's family lives in the civilian area of ​​Xicheng. There are three old tile-roofed houses with dilapidated walls and eaves. Before they get close, they can smell a sour smell.

Chen Miao frowned, she couldn't imagine how such a family could give birth to a girl like Juan'er.

Moreover, Juan'er is a monthly rule of five qian and silver, so I'm afraid she can live a very good life in an ordinary family.I heard that Juan'er sent home almost all of the five renminbi a month without spending a penny, but it's unbelievable that this family can still be lived like this by them.

Chen Miao pulled Pei Jing and whispered a few words in his ear, Pei Jing twitched her lips, and still acted according to her words.

After half an hour, Pei Jing came back, took Chen Miao to a secluded place, and then said in a low voice: "I have inquired about several nearby houses. Juan'er's brother is idle all day long, and every time he goes out to look for errands I have never done it for more than a month. I eat and drink outside all day long. A few days ago, I had a big fight with a man surnamed Cheng because he liked a girl in Hualou at the same time. He injured that person. Now we are married They're making a fuss about claiming compensation!"

Chen Miao couldn't help laughing, Pei Jing asked in puzzlement, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Miao said with a low smile, "Listen, it's similar to someone's behavior back then."

Pei Jing blushed immediately, and argued forcefully: "Although I was a bastard back then, I swear, I never entered a flower building!"

Chen Miao's eyes were soft, and she said softly: "Okay, I know that you have changed your mind and become a new man!"

Pei Jing looked depressed, can you not say that?

While the two were talking, suddenly a man came out of Juan'er's house with his head bowed. The two saw that his legs and feet were slightly limping, and guessed that this person was probably Juan'er's eldest brother Xia Zhong.

Pei Jing hurriedly pulled Chen Miao to hide, and saw Xia Zhong walking out the door with a happy and relaxed expression, humming an unknown tune, and heading north all the way out the door.

Chen Miao felt strange, pulled Pei Jing's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Let's follow him."

Xia Zhong walked north all the way, completely unaware that there was someone following behind him.He crossed a street and turned to a secluded alley.

Pei Jing and Chen Miao hid aside and saw him go straight in. In the middle of the alley, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a fat face had already stood there waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw Xia Zhong approaching, the man shook his body and eagerly went up to him and asked, "Why did you come here? What happened to what I told you to do? Will it work?"

Xia Zhongman said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, although my sister didn't agree at the time, she was moved when she heard that you were willing to give the family 100 taels of silver. You can't agree casually. How about this, I'll go back and ask my wife to go and talk about it, and I promise you that you can bring a sedan chair and marry her in within a month."

The man frowned and said: "Didn't you say that she is already willing? Why does it take so long for a month? What's more, she is just a concubine, so why not use a sedan chair to carry her?"

Xia Zhong said unhappily: "Even if she is a concubine, she is still a good concubine! My sister is from a wealthy family anyway, so isn't she worthy of your sedan chair?"

The man snorted softly and said, "If it wasn't for your sister's pretty looks, would you take me for a fool and pay 100 taels of silver for her? What a big family! The Pei family has long since declined, not to mention that I heard that she was serving that Damn Pei Jing, who is Pei Jing? I'm afraid her body would be dirty long ago! If it weren't for her face, would you think I would want her?"

Xia Zhong's expression changed immediately, and the man didn't want to piss him off anymore, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, okay, hurry up and do this for me, and it will be to your benefit if you finish it! Don't you also Are you anxious to wait for the 100 taels of silver?"

After finishing speaking, he took out a bunch of big money from his pocket and stuffed it into Xia Zhong's hand.

Xia Zhong was originally angry, but when he saw the big money in his hand, his anger subsided a bit, and he just said dullly: "Don't worry, my sister must be a big girl of Huanghua, I will never lie to you about this, you Wait for my good news!"

After finishing the money, he turned his head and walked out of the alley.

Chen Miao tightly held Pei Jing who was about to rush forward to beat the two of them up, and hid aside.

After Xia Zhong and the fat middle-aged man left, the two came out from one side.

Pei Jing spat fiercely at Xia Zhong's back: "Bah! You bastard! How dare you slander me like this!"

Chen Miao hurriedly comforted her: "They are all scum, talking nonsense, don't be as knowledgeable as them."

Pei Jing said angrily: "If it wasn't for Juan'er's elder brother, I would have broken his ribs a long time ago! And that fat man! Want to marry Juan'er with a belly full of fat? To be his elder brother Dream!"

Chen Miao pulled Pei Jing and said softly: "Don't worry, since they are using such brains, we will never let them get what they want. Let's go."
