Chapter 8 Something Happened to the Zhang Family

"Huh!"

"Hou Wu, you bastard, why do you speak so vulgarly?"

Seeing that Li Yuanjing's face was as gloomy as water, Xue An smiled under control and said:

"Li Shusheng, I know that this will be unpleasant for everyone, but our master is a well-known benevolent person. How could he let you suffer?"

"so."

"A girl like this usually only gets five taels of silver each. My master is kind-hearted and knows that your parents just died, so he will give you ten taels."

"In this way, you can repay my master's usury money and still have two or three taels left. Isn't it wonderful?"

At this time, Li Yuanjing saw that Yu Niang at the door was trembling all over, and suddenly laughed:

"Steward Xue, thank you so much Mr. Xue Dashan for your kind words."

"However, Yu Niang is my wife, not a commodity. I won't agree to this! I will definitely pay back the money when the time comes, but not now!"

"Please do as you please!"

"Um?"

Xue An's eyes suddenly widened:

"Li, do you really want to drink a toast and be punished by drinking wine?"

"Please note that the autumn tax will be paid in the next few days, and the boss of Mada in Lengshan will also collect contributions. You bastard, you have to think carefully! Can you afford to pay back so much money at once?!"

beside.

Hou Wu was eager to regain his place, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said:

"Steward Xue, what do you want to do with this bastard's ink stains? Let's deal with him and see if he still dares to scream like this?! He doesn't even give Xue Dashan the face, he is looking for death!"

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuanjing took out the hatchet again and sneered:

"Hou Wu, you are so capable. Do you dare to speak louder so that the village chief can hear your majesty just now?"

"The IOU is clearly written in black and white, and the money will not be paid until the fifth day of the next month. How dare you try this randomly!!!"

"this……"

Xue An, Hou Wu and others suddenly became alert and subconsciously frightened.

Although the head of Quanzi Village is an old man who is almost sixty years old, he has been serving in the Liaodong battlefield for more than ten years when he was young, and his glory as a tiger is still there.

This makes Quanzi Village, although it is an immigrant village and the clan power is not that strong, it is quite united under the governance of the old village chief.

If Xue An, Hou Wu and others dared to cause chaos in the village, the old village chief would really dare to kill people with a knife.

"Jade Lady."

"Since these people don't want to leave, then you should shout at the top of your lungs and call the old village chief and the others! Anyway, the village chief's house is not far ahead, and he will definitely be able to hear it!"

Seeing Xue An and others showing timidity, Li Yuanjing said to Yuniang.

"Hey, good brother."

Yuniang was very obedient, and immediately coughed and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Li, you must be cruel!"

Xue An and the others couldn't hold back any longer. He glared at Li Yuanjing fiercely and said harshly while running out:

"You wait for me! When the time comes, if you still don't have the money, how can I manipulate you! When the time comes, I won't be able to do anything even if the King of Heaven comes!"

soon.

These bastards disappeared without a trace.

Behind the big tree outside.

When Wang Cuihua saw that Xue An had come over in person, she still didn't capture Li Yuanjing. She really wanted to make Li Yuanjing into a paper man and stab him to death.

No way.

She was really feeling a little weak at this time. Li Yuanjing didn't dare to stay here any longer, so she hurriedly twisted her plump waist and hips and ran away quickly.

Li Yuanjing naturally saw Wang Cuihua's figure, and a sneer appeared on his lips.

This slut is looking for death!

"Oh, brother, I scared the slave to death. I thought you didn't want to be a slave anymore..."

At this time, Yu Niang also came to Li Yuanjing's side, held Li Yuanjing's arm hard, and pressed her body tightly against Li Yuanjing's body.

Li Yuanjing subconsciously wanted to make a joke, but suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not the daughter of the CEO of later generations, but the lovely and pitiful Jade Lady...

He quickly held Yu Niang in his arms and said with a smile:

"What are you talking about? You are my most cherished treasure. Even if the emperor gives me his country in exchange, I won't trade it."

"Brother, is it true?"

After all, Yu Niang was young, and Li Yuanjing's few love words made her already teary-eyed and excited, allowing Li Yuanjing to take advantage of her openly...



I had a comfortable breakfast and lunch, and then watched Yu Niang drink a bowl of hot brown sugar water to replenish her body.

Li Yuanjing then asked Yu Niang to clean up the fish from last night at home, while he locked the door, held the hatchet, and went to the vast mountain behind to inspect the terrain.

The experience of going to the county seat made Li Yuanjing understand very well.

Fish are far less valuable than mountain products.

Even an ordinary rabbit is almost worth one tael of silver.

According to the current food price of more than 30 cents, a rabbit can be exchanged for more than 30 kilograms of food.

certainly.

There's a reason why wild animals like rabbits are so valuable.

Qizhou is located in the middle of Daqian, and theoretically is the place least affected by droughts in the north and floods in the south.

But this is not the case.

Qizhou has severe droughts and floods every year, which is worse than elsewhere.

No one can survive this, let alone the wild beasts in the mountains.

Now.

Even the most professional hunter may not be able to catch a rabbit in a month.

But what Li Yuanjing wanted to do was not a rabbit.

But——

Wolf!

Li Yuanjing didn't know the price of the wolf itself, so it was hard to estimate, but Li Yuanjing knew the price of the wolf skin very well.

Because there are problems in Daqian and Northeast and Northwest, the furs from both sides cannot flow in, but this obviously cannot stop the consumption of nobles in Beijing and big cities.

Naturally, only local fur products can be consumed.

The purchase price in Fengcheng County, which is located in a mountainous area and is a fur-producing area, can fetch a small wolf skin of a very ordinary appearance for a small amount of three taels of silver.

Not to mention those big wolf ones with good looks.

The key point is that the wolf skin is easy to carry, making it convenient for Li Yuanjing to go to and from the city to sell it.

and.

At night, Li Yuanjing could sometimes hear wolves howling in the mountains behind him, and he was absolutely certain that there were wolves in the mountains.

It’s just that ordinary people can’t catch it for various reasons.

After an afternoon of inspection near the back mountain, Li Yuanjing saw that the women collecting dry firewood had all returned. Li Yuanjing had an idea and returned home slowly.

but.

As soon as he arrived home, Li Yuanjing immediately became alert.

Although Yu Niang had packed up the fish, she did not prepare the meal in advance and wait for Li Yuanjing as usual. Instead, she paced back and forth anxiously, obviously panicking.

"Yu Niang, what happened? But someone bullied you?"

Li Yuanjing's face darkened, he quickly came to Yu Niang's side and held her jade hand firmly.

"elder brother……"

As soon as Yu Niang saw Li Yuanjing, she finally found her backbone. She leaned tightly into Li Yuanjing's arms and said with tears:

"Brother, I'm not a slave. I'm from Aunt Zhang's house. Something happened at Aunt Zhang's house."

"It seems that the second brother of the Zhang family, who was working in the county town, accidentally lost a pack of snow candies from his employer. Not only did their boss break the second brother of the Zhang family, he also asked the second brother of the Zhang family to compensate for all losses...

…”

"Brother, Aunt Zhang and the Zhang family have always taken good care of us. I want to take two kilograms of grain. Go and see Aunt Zhang..."

"Lost a pack of snow candies?"

Li Yuanjing couldn't help but frown tightly.
