Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid - Chapter 656
At noon, he ate two vegetables with white rice at a dinner table. Qiao’s look at Ruan Siyi seemed to become calm.
After dinner, Qiao discussed with him to sell the house. Anyway, there are few people now. Let’s live in a smaller house. Ruan Siyi had no objection and nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, Ruan Siyi went out to sell the house. Qiao was worried that his mother Chen would keep up.
When they came back in the evening, the house was not sold.
Naturally, such a big house can’t be sold for a while. In particular, the asking price is high and no one cares. After going out for two days, he couldn’t sell it. On the third day, a man offered 1500 taels of silver to buy it.
Ruan Siyi didn’t promise. The market price of the house was about 2500 Liang. The lowest target price in his heart was 2000 Liang. 1500 Liang would lose a lot.
The man had no ink, so he turned and left. Ruan Siyi was a little anxious, but because of her face, mother Chen caught up with her and negotiated several times. Finally, it was set at 1800 Liang.
Looking at the slanting sun and thinking that tomorrow is the time to pay back the money, Ruan Siyi had no choice but to promise.
After going to the government to go through various formalities with the man, Ruan Siyi took 1800 taels of silver and went out of the Yamen. When he passed a restaurant, he thought that many days at home he ate those rough meals. He went in and ordered a table of noodles.
When she paid the silver, she paid more than 40 Liang. What did mother Chen want to say.
Ruan Siyi returned to the house and told Qiao that the house had been sold for 1800 Liang. He agreed with the buyer to move in three days. He would look for the house in these two days.
Qiao nodded, when the waiter came.
When he saw the table full and asked how much it was, Qiao frowned, but said nothing.
“It’s too easy to eat at home these days.” Ruan Siyi picked up his chopsticks and didn’t look at Qiao. “You eat more.”
Qiao’s eyes flashed and lowered his head to eat.
The next day, the group of people from the gambling house came again. This time, they said that 1500 taels would not work, but 1800 taels.
Ruan Siyi quarreled with them even if he wanted to be dignified. These big men could not move their mouths and hands. They gathered around and knocked Ruan Siyi to the ground.
Qiao was so frightened that he screamed and cried. He took out all the silver tickets to them. Later, he didn’t pull out a few hairpins on his head and threw them away. Those people left the loan deed and took the silver.
Ruan Siyi was blue in the face and shouted, “why did you give them all the silver? They are blackmail.”
Qiao sobbed in a low voice, “what if you are beaten by them? Silver is not important yet…”
Now all the silver has been given to people. They must move away in three days, but they don’t even have the money to buy the house.
Ruan Siyi sat in the room, listening to Qiao’s nagging outside and discussing with his mother Chen.
“… now is not the time to be decent. Mom, you and Chuntao will help me pawn all my jewelry tomorrow, and then buy a smaller house. Now there are only four people in our family. Just enough to live.”
“Madam, you only have a few kinds of jewelry…”
Qiao Shi was silent for a moment and said, “there’s no way now…”
“… madam, you shouldn’t have used your dowry to subsidize the expenses in the yard. Now you don’t even care about yourself…”
“… well, it’s too late to say now. You can go with Chuntao later to see how much money you can collect, and then consider what to do next…”
“… why don’t you go back and beg the master…”
Qiao cried sadly and sobbed: “Dad said he didn’t recognize me unless I left with him…”
The voice outside gradually became silent, but Ruan Siyi was almost crazy
What happened to the world?!
