Chapter 51

In the blink of an eye, six or seven days passed, and Yunniang never came back.Ruan Yunsi couldn't help being very worried, secretly thinking what did she say?Even if the old man has gone and is going to have a funeral, he should come back once in a while, maybe something happened, right?
It's just that although I was worried, I didn't know the way at all, and I couldn't get there. I asked the people in the village, and most of them didn't know.Yin had no choice but to wait patiently, secretly thinking that if Yunniang didn't come back in half a month, then he would try his best to find some clues to go and have a look.

Because of the hot weather in the past few days and some silver in hand, Ruan Yunsi only went out once and bought more than 200 catties of raw silk, so half of the money in her hand was gone, leaving only five taels of silver.These days I just help Yunniang feed the chickens and ducks, occasionally weed the vegetables in the garden, and weave a few pieces of cloth in my free time, which is quite leisurely.

One day, she was feeding chickens to Yunniang's house, when suddenly the street door opened, and two people hurried in behind Yunniang.Seeing her, the woman screamed in fright. When she found out that it was Ruan Yunsi, Fang patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death. When did you come? You didn't make a sound."

Ruan Yunsi poured all the chicken food in the wooden barrel into the chicken trough, then stood up and said, "If it doesn't make sense, I'll help you feed the chickens here, and you come in from the outside by yourself, do you want me to make a noise first? What's the matter? Why is there no blood on the face? But what happened? You haven't come back for several days, I'm worried." After speaking, looking at the shy person behind Yun Niang, Only then did I realize that it was a boy of sixteen or seventeen and a little girl of fourteen or fifteen.

Just about to ask Yunniang who these two children are, she heard Yunniang say "Hi" and said with worry on her face: "Don't mention it, what happened in the past few days will scare you to death if you tell it. It's these two Little guy who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth." As she spoke, she glanced at the boy and the girl angrily, and sighed: "These are the two children of my second aunt's family. Borrowing money from people. Who knew they would go to the underground bank in the city to borrow five taels of silver. Monthly work, profit revolving, the five silvers turned into 20 taels. Once the second aunt's funeral is held, the family will be destitute, let alone 20 taels, even a tael of silver can't come out. There is really no way, I made the decision, buried my second aunt in a hurry, sold the thatched house in their hands, and brought them to me. I still have two acres of Susukida here. If I sell it, I can get three or four. Two silver coins, let’s give those people together first and then talk about it.”

The horror of usury is the same in ancient and modern times, but this time the usury is too high.It's just that Ruan Yunsi didn't have the time to think about the tricks here. She grabbed Yunniang's hand and said in horror: "How can this happen? You're just relying on the two acres of land to live. If you sell it, you can buy it in the future." what to do?"

Yun Niang smiled wryly and said: "Let's talk about the future later, I can't just sit and watch the two brothers and sisters suffer accidents, not to mention that my land was left by my dead ghost, and now it should be sold for his second uncle's child... "

Before finishing speaking, the young man cried and said: "Sister-in-law, because of your mother's illness, you have been dragged down a lot these years, and now you must not be allowed to sell even those few acres of land. Don't worry, ten taels of silver , my sister and I sold ourselves into slavery and worked hard to make money to pay them back..."

Before she finished speaking, Yunniang said sharply: "Shut up, there is an adult here, there is no need for you children to say such things. If it weren't for Brother Nan, you are so brave that you dared to borrow money from the underground bank, and now you are making a fuss. Are you at this level? How dare you make your own decisions. Selling yourself as a slave? You know it’s a dead body contract, how much can you have? It’s only ten taels of silver at most. What’s more, your sister looks like this. into the fire pit, are you worthy of your parents?"

After hearing Yunniang's words, Ruan Yunsi looked at the girl, only to realize that she was really handsome. When she was in the Hou's mansion that day, she had seen many beautiful young ladies, but in terms of appearance, she was not as good as this girl. The girl, even though she was wearing a patch upon patch of dress, and her black hair was only braided, was still undeniably beautiful, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a stunning beauty.Looking at that young man again, Qi Yuxuan is also very handsome.She couldn't help sighing in her heart that heredity is sometimes a good thing, so she took Yun Niang's hand and said with a smile: "I said why you are so devoted to your elder brother and determined to be a widow. Now that you see these two children, you know that your elder brother must also be born extraordinary." , you are an ordinary man who was once in troubled waters, how can you see it in your eyes?"

Yunniang said angrily: "What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who judges people by appearance? In terms of appearance, who else can match Mr. Su? I am also calm. Okay, okay, people are in trouble at this time, Don't make jokes, these days, thanks to you helping me take care of the house, I will thank you later, but now I have to find out the land deed first."

Ruan Yunsi frowned and said: "Even if you find it, so what? Since the interest rate has already become 20 taels of silver, even if you sell that thatched house and your land, it is only five or six taels of silver. Are they all sold?"

Yun Niang sighed: "Take one step at a time, let's escape the catastrophe in front of us first. Pay back five or six taels of silver first, at least give us a breathing time, maybe there will be a way to make money, and we can slowly move forward in the future." Return slowly."

Ruan Yunsi said in a deep voice: "It's like a joke, the usury will come to your door in two months, can you give you time to pay it back slowly? What's more, if you pay them back five or six taels of silver, it's like throwing away the money. Months, another 20 taels, what will you pay back then?"

Yun Niang who said a word was also anxious, she naturally knew that what the other party said made sense, because she stomped her feet and said, "I told you to say that, but what should I do? Should I just watch these two children fall into the fire pit? Never."

Ruan Yunsi looked at the two brothers and sisters who were wiping tears behind Yunniang, and saw that their hands were a little rough, obviously caused by hard work on weekdays.Suddenly her heart moved, and she said to Yun Niang: "I have an idea here, but I want to take advantage of you and your uncle and aunt."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Yunniang anxiously said: "What are you talking about now? As long as you don't kill people and set fires, you can speak up quickly if you have an idea. Don't say it's you or someone else. As long as you can solve this urgent need, let me I am also willing to be a slave or a handmaid."
