Chapter 277 A priceless treasure in the hands of experts
How could Su Erlang be willing to let these people take his own mule away?
After a few steps, he stopped the man who was about to lead the mule and said in a cold voice: "We are the ones staying here. What does the matter between you have to do with us?"
At this time, the old woman also arrived. She stopped in front of Su Erlang and knelt down in front of these people, kowtowing to the ground: "Please be merciful. My son and daughter-in-law have been working as coolies for a year. Isn't that enough to pay off the debts at home?
Everything that can be taken away has been taken away. This is not our family’s thing, so you can’t take it.”
Chen Yu didn't catch up, her mind was buzzing. This was the first time she went out and she encountered such a thing. Sure enough, she was living so well in Sujiazhuang, no, in Qingniu County, that she saw such a scene.
Some can't accept it.
The vicious debt collector reminded her of the people who collected debts from Su Silang, how similar they were.
"Mom." Pan Yuling felt that Chen Yu's expression was wrong and quickly stretched out her hand to support her.
Chen Yu shook his head: "It's okay."
Su Liulang also passed by, clasped his fists and said to the leader with a smile: "Brother, it's just a coincidence that we stayed here for the night. We don't care what's going on between you. It's convenient and we'll leave immediately, okay?"
"
The big black man who took the lead looked at Su Liulang.
Then he looked at Chen Yu and Pan Yuling standing at the door, and frowned: "Let's go! Don't get in the way here."
"Thank you." Su Liulang went over to lead the mule into a cart, then came over to help Chen Yu: "Mom, get in the cart and let's go."
Pan Yuling glanced at the old woman kneeling on the ground and whispered to Su Liulang: "Liu Lang, they..."
"You and mother get in the car first." Su Liulang gave Pan Yuling a wink.
Pan Yuling could only follow Chen Yu into the car. Su Liulang went over and pulled Su Erlang over, and the family left the hospital without saying anything.
Chen Yu glanced at Pan Yuling, who had her head lowered, and knew that the daughter-in-law was feeling sorry for herself, so she said softly: "You can't do anything when you are away from home. This is not Qingniu County. If you want to help, you don't have to wait for a moment. Those people look fierce.
, but it won’t hurt the old couple.”
"Mom, how did you see it?" Pan Yuling asked.
Chen Yu glanced outside the car and confirmed that Su Erlang was heading towards Qingniu County. He knew that the two brothers had gone with him and said, "Those people are asking for money, and besides, the children and grandchildren of the old couple are in their hands."
There, those people asked for a house, and I thought this old couple would come and give it to them, hoping that their children and grandchildren would be safe."
Su Liulang sat next to him and frowned: "Mom, although the yard is big, how much is it worth if it's so dilapidated?"
Chen Yu didn't know this. The girls stopped the car outside the village. It was completely dark before they returned to the village. When they came to the door of the old man's house, they heard the old woman's cry. Chen Yu and Pan
Yuling got out of the car.
Su Erlang entered the courtyard and came out after a while. It was the old man who invited them in.
"I'm sorry for you." The old woman tremblingly took out the snacks she put in the basket and sent them to Chen Yu: "We have to make room for them tomorrow. If you don't mind, just spend the night here.
."
Chen Yu put the basket aside, took the old woman's hand, sat down, and asked: "Sister, can you tell me what's going on? I can help you if you can't save it."
When mentioning this, the old woman couldn't stop her tears and shouted: "No one can help us. Achun was working in the county town and burned down his employer's warehouse. The porcelain that left the kiln was not in the
The kiln has burned all the bricks. It has been a year. My son and wife are working there as hard labor. It seems that it is still not possible. If someone wants this yard, give it to them. I can’t hold it anymore.”
This made Chen Yu's heart sink. What a coincidence. He came out this time just to find someone who could burn kilns. Although he didn't know if the grandson of this family knew how to burn kilns, at least he had something to do with this matter.
It’s a relationship.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu asked: "Sister, if we give this yard, your family can be reunited?"
The old woman wiped her tears and shook her head: "No, this yard is worth twenty taels of silver. This is a favor from the boss. If you want to reunite the whole family, you have to give me two hundred taels."
This is really desperate. Where can such a family find two hundred taels of silver?
"How far is it from Dingtao County to here?" Su Liulang asked.
The old man next to me said, "It's thirty miles away."
"It's so far away, why does my employer insist on using your house for this purpose?" Su Liulang looked at the old man: "Uncle, don't you have some treasures in this place?"
The old man shook his head: "Where is the treasure? My family really has nothing left to give, and all that's left is a shabby house."
Chen Yu asked the old woman: "Sister, what's the name of this boss? We happen to be going to Dingtao County for business. If we don't have enough money, we can help."
This is not a nice word. Chen Yu originally planned to go to Dingtao County to find an expert in porcelain and pottery making. Taking the opportunity to get to know the owner, wouldn't it be a good chance to help ask questions? Besides, businessmen are currently very profitable.
Let’s talk about cooperation.
The old woman looked at her wife.
The old man spoke up: "Speaking of which, we have some distant relatives. Our boss's surname is Jiang, and our ancestors lived in Liurong Village. The skill of making porcelain was passed down from home. Later, he went to the county to make a fortune. It's all because of our Achun's careless work.
Otherwise, Jiang Dashan would not be so angry."
The more he talked about it, the more troubled Chen Yu felt. Two hundred taels of silver was not a small amount. The Su family was rich, but it was not enough to save people in distress. Therefore, Chen Yu could only comfort the old couple, obey fate, and get up early in the morning.
So I went to Dingtao County and visited the good man Jiang directly at his door.
Originally, the old couple didn't think this family could help, so they were surprised to come back. Not to mention that Chen Yu asked carefully about the story and agreed to help.
No one slept well that night. When leaving the next day, Chen Yu left ten taels of silver for the old couple and placed it on the kang in the room where she slept.
When he went out and got in the car, he found that Pan Yuling had not followed him. He raised the curtain and saw that Pan Yuling bent down to pick up a few pieces of dirt and put them in her bag. Chen Yu said nothing.
After leaving Liurong Village, the family followed the official road to Dingtao County.
Pan Yuling took out the garbage, carefully crushed it and held it in her hands. She looked at it over and over again for a while, then lost her voice: "Mom! I know! I know!"
Chen Yu looked over.
Pan Yuling handed the soil in her hand to Chen Yu: "Liu Lang is right, that yard is a treasure!"
Chen Yu looked at Pan Yuling suspiciously: "Is it because of the soil?"
"Yes, this is soft clay, the best type of clay. Although the color of the objects fired is slightly worse than that of porcelain clay, this soft clay can make a variety of delicate shapes." Pan Yuling said somewhat.
He said excitedly: "Also, there is porcelain clay at the root of the wall in the east room of the courtyard. I don't have the nerve to go over and pick out a piece of it. Mom, that courtyard is worth more than two hundred taels. In the hands of an expert, it is a priceless treasure!"
Apology: I have something to do temporarily, so I will update it as soon as I can. I will update it as soon as I have enough time. The next chapter is still being written.
