Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 241

Shi Liu was so frightened by Ge Taohua that she backed away again and again, no sister-in-law would kneel down for her sister-in-law.

After taking a few steps back, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Ge Taohua, and hurriedly explained: "Sister-in-law, I didn't lie to you, we really didn't...no..."

Shiliu wanted to tell the truth, the family did not have 1000 taels of silver, and the few carts sold to Boss Xiao only cost more than 300 taels of silver.But she still didn't dare to say it out, because at this moment Qian Feng was blinking at her, meaning that she would not let her reveal her family background.

It's okay to let Ge Taohua know, if she tells Yang Shi, Qian Feng and Shiliu will still be very scared.Mrs. Yang is old, if she faints out of anger or kills someone, that's fine.

Shiliu cried anxiously, "Sister-in-law, you should get up, what's the use of kneeling for me, I can't make the decision, you should ask Qian Feng."

Ge Taohua thought that Shiliu was reluctant to take out the money, so she turned to Qian Feng again. When she knelt in front of Qian Feng and begged for mercy with tears streaming down her face, Qian Feng stood up suddenly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't do this, I I don't have time to tell you."

Qian Feng hurried into the house to write a note, then called his eldest brother who was also crying bitterly in the old yard, and ran to the town together.Since people say that they will change people at the mouth of the town in three days, it is better to understand the terrain first.

When they came to the entrance of the town, they didn't see anything unusual here, and there were farmlands nearby.To say that this place is different from other places is that there are three roads facing east, south, and west, and the north is a market town. If you exchange people with money, they can run faster at most because there are many forks in the road.

The two brothers pressed the note they had brought under a stone, exposing a corner. The note read: The money is ready and exchanged on time.They hid nearby and squatted for a while, but they didn't see any movement, so they had to go home.

Qian Tong was limping when he walked, feeling anxious and uncomfortable, and his breathing was as difficult as walking.If something goes wrong with Pine Ball, he feels that he has nothing to live for.

Qian Feng felt uncomfortable, but now is not the time to feel uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to comfort his elder brother, "Brother, don't worry, what they want is money, not people, and if they don't get the money, they dare not do anything to Song Qiu."

Qian Tong wiped his tears and said: "These villains really deserve to be struck by lightning. You have done so many good things for Yinshan Town. You have given everyone food and money to build roads. Everyone has benefited. Why do they still come?" Isn’t it revenge for those who harmed our family?”

Qian Feng pondered for a while, and said: "The ones who kidnapped the pinecone will definitely not be the people who live in peace in various villages. They don't have the guts. Who dares to take this risk with their families. In my opinion, it must be someone from a foreign country. They heard that our family is rich, so they want to make a fortune and flee to other places, or they are our acquaintances in Yinshan Town, but this person definitely does not want to stay in Yinshan Town anymore, and wants to go out to make a living. No matter what kind of people they are, they have no grievances with our family, all they want is money, so they won't do anything to Pine Ball, don't worry."

Qian Feng's analysis was reasonable, but Qian Tong was still terrified, worried that Song Qiu would be injured, starved, or beaten in the next few days.

Qian Feng knew that it was useless to comfort him blindly, and now he had to figure out a little bit of clues. If he knew who tied him up, he could make his elder brother and sister-in-law feel at ease.

While walking, Qian Feng suddenly paused, "Brother, you go home first, tell parents and sister-in-law not to worry, I have a solution!"

Qian Tong was both surprised and delighted, "What can you do?"

"It's not clear about this matter. You go home first, and I'll go back later." Qian Feng turned around and ran away after finishing speaking.

Qian Tong had no choice but to go back obediently, he didn't know if Qian Feng really had a way or just coaxed him, even if he coaxed him, he felt much more comfortable.

Qian Tong went home and told his parents and Ge Taohua, who was about to faint from crying, that Qian Feng had his own way, and told them not to worry.Ge Taohua cried and said: "There is no other way, as long as you have the money ready to replace, Songqiu can come back!"

Qian Tong said anxiously: "Stop yelling, the second brother knows the importance, he has written a note just now, and he will prepare enough money after telling others."

When Shiliu heard this, she guessed that Qian Feng wanted to use the 300 taels of silver at home as 1000 taels to replace someone, such as carrying two boxes, both of which had a layer of silver on top and stones on the bottom.If this is not the case, how can I prepare enough 1000 taels of silver?

But what on earth is Qian Feng doing now?Shiliu drooped her head, sitting in the yard with her child in a daze.Seeing Hui'er coming, she stood up suddenly, handed over a lot of money to Hui'er, then rushed into the house, put a hatchet in her belt, and covered it with a coat.

Hui'er was shocked when she saw this, "Who are you going to fight with? You can't mess around!"

"I'm not going to fight someone desperately, I have to protect Qian Feng, if he encounters some villains, how can he deal with them alone?" Shiliu said and ran away in a gust of wind.

The reason why Qian Feng ran back was because he suddenly thought that the person who tied the loose ball must be living nearby, so he could observe the movement when the time comes to exchange.It is more likely that those people lived in the town, so he walked around a small road to the back of a row of houses in the town, and quietly checked one by one.

When he came near the backyard of Li's house, Qian Feng suddenly heard an old woman inside asking: "Ewha, Boss Zhang said that he will come to pay back the money in the evening after three days?"

Li Hua responded, "Mother, Boss Zhang left a note, and my elder brother said it was like this after reading it."

Qian Feng's heart skipped a beat, a note?He remembered that the note that Ge Taohua showed him was also three days later, and it was after evening in Xushi, so why did they always leave notes, or were they all three days later?
He thought about it again, the first few words of the note were written by a man at first glance, the handwriting was flamboyant, but the last few words were redacted, and the writing was crooked, so you had to read carefully to recognize it. Article not written by the same person?

Lihua quietly came to her salt storehouse with a bowl of rice, and handed the rice to Songqiu.Song Qiu whispered: "Aunt Lihua, why do you want me to hide here all the time?"

Lihua sat on the side crying, and suddenly wiped away the tears, said with a smile: "Eat well, don't think too much, anyway, I am helping you, someone is going to kill you, you can hide here for a few days and you will be fine."

Song Qiu ate a few mouthfuls and became worried again, "If I don't go home, my parents will worry about me."
