Chapter 10 Wronged or not, lives are worth money
Ling Muran actually added insult to injury and said: "Not only that, uncle doesn't want to be implicated, and is already considering whether to divorce the eldest lady to distance himself."
Xue Rouer bit her lower lip tightly with her silver teeth, and a drop of blood slipped. She glared at Ling Muran: "Get out, you'd better pray that my mother is fine, or I will let you be buried with her." She hated this man to death at this moment.
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Ling Muran's mouth: "Really? I'm afraid it's not that easy. Don't you want to know why your astute grandpa was fooled? If there is no introduction by an acquaintance, he will definitely not accept it!" He
He took out a bag of stuff from his cuffs and threw it on Xue Rouer, then left the bamboo forest with a sneer.
Xue Rou'er opened the bag, and inside were nail-sized glass beads. At first glance, they looked good, but if you look closely, you can see that these glass beads have been carefully polished and selected. There are bubbles on each of them, whether they are large or small.
. It was intact when first seen, but upon collision, the thin walls would crack and expose holes, and the good glass beads became cheap marbles for children to play with. How much would someone who is willing to spend so much effort hate grandpa?
These glass beads are uniform in size, as big as a man’s thumb nail. It is absolutely impossible to pierce them to make necklaces and bracelets. The reason is that they are too big. Just imagine that girl would wear such an exaggerated bead necklace or bracelet to show off.
?
These things flashed through Xue Rouer's mind quickly, but her first priority was to wake up her mother. She pinched the eldest lady's body with her nails, feeling uneasy in her heart.
"Hey...cough cough cough..." The eldest lady exhaled and coughed violently.
Xue Rou'er said in surprise: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save grandpa."
The eldest lady's face turned pale, she shook her head and said, "Rou'er, what can you do? That's all, just divorce. Mom wants to go back and die with your grandpa."
Yu Nu and Xue Rou'er helped the eldest lady to the bed, and Xue Rou'er said: "Yu Nu, is there any way we can get out of Xue's house?"
"Go out? Miss, do you want to go back and have a look?" Yu Nu asked.
Xue Rou'er nodded and said: "Yes, we'd better go out secretly. No one will come here for a while anyway."
Yunu said: "Then we can only dig into the dog hole, but it would be too unfair for the eldest lady."
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "Our situation is worse than that of a dog, so why should we feel aggrieved? You lead the way and we will get out as soon as possible."
Yunu glanced at the sleeping eldest lady, carried her on his back, and led Xue Rou'er out of the bamboo forest.
The dog holes in the Xue Mansion were all built squarely, and they were so thin that they could easily get out. There was a remote alley outside, and no one noticed them.
When the three of them arrived at the palace, there was no one at the door. One of the lanterns on the door had fallen off, making them look desolate.
Xue Rou'er stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, no one answered the door. She pushed hard and the door opened. The three of them walked in. The courtyard that used to be filled with servants was now covered with fallen leaves and the once beautiful flowers.
Most of them have withered.
The seats in the front hall were covered with a thin layer of dust, so they had to go directly into the back room.
A haggard man wearing a blue gown and a stubble on his face wandered anxiously at the door.
Xue Rou'er called out: "Uncle."
The man looked up at Xue Rou'er, confusion in his eyes. He was the eldest lady's brother, Wang Rui.
Xue Rouer called again: "Uncle."
Wang Rui looked at Xue Rou'er in shock and asked after a while: "Are you Rou'er? Can you speak?"
Xue Rouer nodded and said: "Uncle, how is grandpa?"
Wang Rui sighed and said: "Your grandpa has locked himself in his room these days without eating or drinking. If we can't pay back the money in ten days... ugh..."
Xue Rou'er said: "Mom is sick, please ask uncle to find a room to stay."
Only then did Wang Rui notice the eldest lady Yu Nu was carrying. His expression changed. He reached out and took the lady in his arms. He cursed angrily: "That bastard Xue Li actually dared to treat my sister like this. Let's go. Let's get to your aunt first."
Go there."
Xue Rou'er said: "Uncle, please take mother over. Yunu will go too. I'll go see grandpa."
Wang Rui nodded, and Xue Rou'er pushed the door open and went in alone.
"Go out... I don't want to see anyone." Wang Ruxin said weakly in his old voice.
Xue Rou'er walked in and saw her haggard and inhuman grandfather. She held back her tears and said, "Grandpa, Rou'er is here to see you."
Wang Ruxin looked at Xue Rou'er blankly and asked: "Rou'er, are you talking?"
Xue Rou'er sat beside the bed and said, "Grandpa, it's Rou'er!"
Wang Ruxin held her hand excitedly, but it caused Xue Rou'er a burst of pain.
"Why are your hands like this?" Wang Ruxin saw her bruised fingers and a few missing nails.
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "It's nothing, this is not the time to worry about this. Grandpa, who sold you these colored glazes?"
Wang Ruxin said bitterly: "It's Ling Muran."
Xue Rou'er's eyes widened, it was Ling Muran again, this man was so hateful, one day she would skin him.
Wang Ruxin sighed: "All the colored glazes I saw were perfect, but when I got them back they turned into scraps. The two taels of silver each are now worthless."
Xue Rouer took out a glass and looked at it carefully and said, "Grandpa, how much debt do you owe in total? Why did you go to the government?"
With sorrow in his eyes, Wang Ruxin said in a trembling voice: "Ling Muran has long coveted our Wang family's mansion, so he set a trap for me, with a total of 60,000 colored glazes and 60,000 taels of silver. When I couldn't get it, he kindly said
Use assets as collateral and redeem them after selling the glass.
But now, let alone selling the glass, even if it is given away for free, only children will want it!"
Xue Rouer gritted her teeth and said, "Grandpa, is your Fuguixuan gone?"
Wang Ruxin said: "I am ready to sever the father-son relationship with your uncle, and Fuguixuan is the only thing I can leave to him. I cannot let my son, daughter-in-law and unborn grandson suffer!
And your mother, if I die, I will still have a younger brother to rely on, otherwise I will be bullied by that big family."
Xue Rou'er sighed: "It's good that Fuguixuan is still there. Rou'er has an idea that can turn things around. I wonder if grandpa is willing to give it a try?"
Wang Ruxin shook his head and said: "There is nothing you can do to save your life, so why not take advantage of the moment and cut off the father-son relationship between me and your uncle?"
Xue Rou'er didn't know how to comfort this old man who was forced to die, but she was not lying. There was really a way to turn things around, so she whispered a few words in Wang Ruxin's ear.
Wang Ruxin said in surprise: "Is this feasible?"
Xue Rou'er nodded seriously and said: "It's feasible, but we need craftsmen. I wonder if the craftsmen of Fuguixuan can be trusted?"
