Zhuzi smiled and said to Chu Ning, "When the wild boar was brought back yesterday, several clan elders saw it. They all said they wanted to taste the game, so our old man decided to kill it..."
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows.
That's not what the little fat man said before.
"Oh, don't worry, eldest lady, for your half, our old man has discounted it according to the market price."
Zhuzi took out a navy blue money bag from his sleeve pocket as he spoke, "This is one tael of silver, big girl, keep it."
Naturally, Chu Ning would not be polite to him, so he directly reached out and took it, and subconsciously thought about it.
A tael of broken silver doesn't weigh much in your hand, and is even pitifully light, but the sound of the metal's collision and friction is quite pleasant.
Looking at the money bag in his hand again, Chu Ning's brows were filled with joy.
A little less is better than nothing, right?
"Thank you young master for me."
"四."
Zhuzi agreed and said, "Our third young master said you don't have to be polite, eldest lady. Originally, the wild boar was yours. He was just helping to sell it."
Speaking of which, their young master took advantage.
That pig was kicked to death by Miss Chu.
Perhaps thinking of that scene at that time, he subconsciously glanced at Chu Ning's legs.
How can such a skinny little girl have so much strength?
"Hmm? Is there anything else?"
Zhuzi came back to his senses instantly, "Oh, our young master wants to ask the eldest daughter to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow."
Chu Ning motioned him to turn around and look, "Do you think it's possible to go up the mountain in this situation?"
There was quite a bit of snow yesterday. It fell heavily in the middle of the night and a thick layer accumulated on the ground. It was not easy to walk on the flat road, let alone up the mountain.
Speaking of snow, Chu Ning's heart moved, and he looked into the yard behind him. He didn't pay attention to it, but now he saw that the yard was clean and the snow had been swept away.
Then she thought of Chu Jing's nose being red from the cold, and her face turned dark visibly.
Zhuzi also thought that she was dissatisfied with Fang Shengyu, and repeatedly explained to Fang Shengyu that their young master also knew that the mountain road was difficult, and did not want to go deep. He just walked around at the foot of the mountain or in a gentle area. It would be better to catch pheasants and rabbits, but there was no harvest.
It’s nothing, just relax.
Seeing that Chu Ning was still sullen and silent, Zhu Zhu thought for a while and then talked about Fang Shengyu's slingshot. He said that although it was just a toy, it was made of exquisite workmanship and made of high-quality materials. Let's just say that it looked like ordinary wood.
, it was also lychee wood that was brought from the south with a lot of effort, and so on, I talked about a lot.
To sum it up, it’s just one sentence.
That slingshot is a real treasure.
Chu Ning looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you showing off to me?"
Zhu Zhu choked and almost lost his breath, "The older girl is joking, the younger one doesn't mean this."
"Then what do you mean?"
Hey, this temper.
Thinking of Fang Shengyu's explanation, Zhu Zhu took a deep breath, "Our young master said that as long as the eldest girl is willing to accompany him to the mountains for hunting, you are allowed to borrow it for a while..."
"You should have told me earlier!"
Chu Ning waved his hand, "Okay, I understand, you can go back."
Zhu Zhu almost choked again, "Well, I'll call the eldest girl tomorrow morning..."
"Yeah, got it."
Chu Ning stuffed the money bag into her arms and prepared to go back, but when she thought of something, she asked in confusion, "If your young master wants to go up the mountain so much, why don't you go today?"
"The town official is celebrating his birthday today, and the young master is going to be a guest with the old lady."
"Oh, going to town?"
Chu Ning suddenly became interested and asked, "How far is it from the village to the town?"
Zhu Zhu asked, "Miss Chu, are you also going to the town? Or you can ride with the Fang family's carriage later..."
Chu Ning waved his hand, "That's okay. Just tell me how to get to Qiaodong Town and leave."
Pillar……
All right.
After inquiring carefully, Chu Ning knew what was going on. He waved Zhu Zhu away and walked briskly back to the Chu family yard.
"Where's the money the boy gave me?! Bring it here!"
Turning around, he met a man asking for money, and Chu Ning's good mood suddenly disappeared.
"I owe you!"
She said something casually and was about to leave. The cold wind whizzed and the knife hit her face. It really didn't feel good. She was stupid to blow the cold wind with such a person.
Seeing Chu Ning's arrogance, Mrs. Kong was so angry that she yelled, "Of course you owe it! Not only do you owe it, you also owe a full fifty taels! You guys can't even afford to sell me..."
Chu Pinggui coughed hard through the window. Kong stopped talking about selling people, but still stretched out his hand to block Chu Ning's way, "Stop talking nonsense and pay back the money quickly!"
Give it back to your sister!
Chu Ning sneered, "Is there something wrong with your brain? Chu Shouxin is the one who owes foreign debts. If you want money, go to him."
After the old scholar Fang left last night, the Chen family argued with Old Chen for a long time about Chu Dalang's money. In the end, the exhausted Chu Pinggui made the decision and asked Old Chen to return the money to Chu Dalang.
He also said that the fifty taels of silver were a gambling debt for Chu Shouxin and had nothing to do with the third room. If the big room wanted to collect the account, he asked Chu Shouxin to ask for it.
Moreover, no one is allowed to mention selling people again in the future, and anyone who dares to mention it again will be kicked out of the house.
Chu Shouren and Kong were naturally dissatisfied with this result. Not only did Chu Shouxin have no money, but even if he had money, he would not repay the money obediently. Therefore, they fought hard with Chu Pinggui and insisted on giving the money to the public.
Lao Chen kept complaining that the family had no money, so they proposed to sell the Chu Ning sisters again. Not wanting Chu Pinggui to get angry, Chu Pinglin also sternly reprimanded and threatened to drive out the clan if anyone tried to make the wrong idea again.
Chu Shouren and Kong almost died of anger.
It was originally agreed that the girls from the third house would be sold to compensate Da Lang for his losses, but after Fang Laoxiucai left, the two old men changed their minds.
If he had known this, he should have let Heisan take the person away directly.
But thinking about it carefully, the reason why they were not sent away at that time seemed to be because that boy Fang Shengyu was causing trouble... So, was Fang specifically here to go against them?
Chu Shouren and his wife were full of complaints. Chu Dalang saw this and said lightly, just keep these words in your heart and never say them out, otherwise your husband will find out and his future will be really worrying.
So no matter how much dissatisfaction and complaints the Chu Shouren couple had, they could only swallow them in their stomachs.
But the resentment did not dissipate, but shifted.
It turned to Chu Ning's head.
In fact, it's not appropriate to say transfer, because they were already annoyed with Chu Ning, but they just hindered Chu Pinggui and Chu Pinglin, so they didn't dare to make any more plans to sell people for the time being.
But it also made her more angry, even more than Chu Shouxin, the object of the anger.
Especially Kong, he simply hated her.
Although he was afraid of her brute strength and did not dare to attack her easily, he had caught her, so he couldn't let it go.
When she couldn't get the money, she loudly lured Old Chen out, "Mom, this damn girl wants to hide her private money and won't pay it to the public if she has money."
Chu Ning almost laughed out loud at her, "What? You only want your big house to be a private room, but why don't you allow me to save some pocket money? You are really brave."
Speaking of Chu Dalang's private money, Mrs. Kong secretly went to look at Mrs. Chen with a guilty conscience. As expected, she saw that her wrinkled old face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Kong's secret secret is not good.
She knew her mother-in-law's temper and knew that Chu Ning had poked a sore spot and wanted to operate on her. She quickly changed the subject and yelled at Chu Ning, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to Da Lang?"
