Chapter 53: Disgraceful
Chapter 53 Disgraceful
This breakfast was a bit awkward for the whole family.
Thinking about going to the county to deposit silver, Chu Nanzhi hastily cleaned up the kitchen, took out the wrapped gold and silver, and was ready to go.
The quadruplets saw the bad woman walking out of the courtyard gate alone, and they all chased her out in a swarm.
The little ones actually knew that she was only going to the city to exchange bank notes, but even so, they were still worried that she would go into the city alone, for fear that she would leave everyone's sight and disappear without a trace.
Erbao Lin Ruixi called her to stop, and rushed towards her with all her strength, her voice was soft and sweet like a lark:
"Aniang, I also want to go to the city with you, and I also want the toys you bought for Sibao."
While speaking, Sanbao and Sibao ran to Chu Nanzhi's side.
Chu Nanzhi stared at a group of spooky little guys, so she could only patiently say: "It takes more than half an hour to go to the county town. You are still young, you can't walk this far, and your feet will hurt."
The three little ones were persistent: "We are not afraid of pain."
Lin Jinxiao came out on crutches, stood beside Dabao, looked at the children and said loudly:
"Your mother is going to the bank to save money, and it will cause trouble. If you are disobedient, you will not be taken back to grandma's house in two days."
Hearing this, Erbao and Sanbao burst into tears in anxiety.
Seeing this, Sibao voluntarily withdrew, pointing to the crying Second and Third Treasures, and said, "Then Auntie will take my brothers and sisters with me, and I will stay at home with Daddy."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the silent Dabao in the distance, then at the Four Treasures under his feet, and vaguely guessed their thoughts, so he could only answer with a smile:
"Then you and Dabao should be obedient at home, and I will buy you toys and delicious pastries when I come back."
Little Sibao nodded obediently, and walked back to Lin Jinxiao's side.
Erbao and Sanbao stopped crying immediately, and they were afraid that their father would stop them, so they dragged the bad woman and ran outside: "Mom, let's go."
Chu Nanzhi shook her head helplessly: They are really two little devils.
The three of them left the village together and headed towards the county seat.
After walking another mile, I saw Lizheng Liu Qingbo driving towards the county with an ox cart. Knowing that the mother and son were also going to the county, they kindly took them with them.
In this way, it saves a lot of footwork.
Waiting to enter the city, Chu Nanzhi found a bank deposit bank and exchanged the bank notes, and then prepared to take Er Bao and San Bao to buy some things in the city first.
Now the total amount of silver in her hands is more than 800 taels, and she left more than 30 taels of silver, and the rest were exchanged into bank notes.
I found a toy stand and bought a few toys, and bought a lot of pastries elsewhere, thinking that I was going back to my natal family soon, and bought a whole set of clothing for everyone in the Chu family.
Passing by a powder shop, Chu Nanzhi stopped to buy two types of rouge powder, but when she was asking the shop about the price, she was pulled over by two little guys.
Er Baolin Ruixi pointed to the door of a restaurant not far away with banners hanging on it, and said loudly:
"Aniang, look at that gentleman over there who looks like the uncle of my second aunt's family."
Chu Nanzhi took a pleasing look, and saw a well-dressed young gentleman in front of the restaurant, arguing with a wine doctor.
Take a closer look, where there is a resemblance, it is clearly the man of the original owner's second sister, Chu Nanxiang, Han Shaochuan.
This is not a good person.
Chu Nanzhi hurriedly dropped the rouge she had chosen, and was about to run away with the second treasure and the third treasure.
"Sister."
"Where is the elder sister?"
Chu Nanzhi only took a few steps when the shouts from behind came quickly.
Turning around again, Han Shaochuan was already in front of him.
"Sister, why are you running away, I am your brother-in-law."
Han Shaochuan waved a folding fan in his hand, and was closely followed by Dr. Jiu who had been arguing with him just now.
Chu Nanzhi smiled awkwardly: "What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence, I saw you a long time ago."
Han Shaochuan didn't hide it, and made it clear: "Eldest sister has some silver with her, lend me a few taels of silver."
As he spoke, he glanced at Dr. Liquor beside him in boredom, and explained impatiently:
"This guy, he just owes a few taels of silver, and he insists on chasing me. I usually pay on credit first when I eat at his house. How dare he force a literati like me for a few taels of vulgarity?" It's simply unreasonable and degrading."
After hearing this, Chu Nanzhi glanced at him angrily.
She remembered that the restaurant was opened by the Qi family, and she often gave credit to the person in front of her, but Liu Yun was the one who settled the bill in the end.
At first she wanted to scold him, but thinking of the poor second sister of the original owner, she slowed down and persuaded:
"Erlang, since you don't have any money, don't come to this kind of place for entertainment all day long. It's not like you can't eat at home."
Dr. Jiu recognized Chu Nanzhi, seeing that she was helping to persuade her in a serious manner at this time, she was not crazy, nor did she make things difficult for her, but just smiled distressedly:
"Miss Chu, don't blame the young one for being ignorant. It's not that the young one wants to make things difficult for Han Erlang. This is your cousin's intention, and it's also what my mistress specifically told you not to give Han Erlang credit."
"Well, there is no problem with you doing this."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in approval to Dr. Jiu.
Unexpectedly, her words immediately angered Han Shaochuan.
This guy no longer cared about his decency, and began to curse bitterly:
"Chu Nanzhi, you crazy woman, do you intend to kill me?"
"You are not allowed to scold my mother."
Before he could swear enough, Erbao and Sanbao yelled loudly, interrupting his words.
Han Shaochuan was surprised for a while, glared at the two little treasures, and said sharply: "You two little **** have been kicked by the donkey. This crazy woman beats and scolds you every day, and you still help her talk."
"That's our family's business, what's bothering you, I want you to mind your own business."
Er Bao bulged his small eyes, and said aggressively, "You provoked my second aunt to wipe her face with tears every day at home, and made my grandma spend money for you every day. What right do you have to teach my aunt."
"I'm angry, really angry."
Han Shaochuan held the folding fan tightly and swayed it desperately, gasping for breath:
"What do you know? Do you know who your uncle and I are? You still talk to me like this. I'm one of the best scribes in this county. I'm afraid even your father would be ashamed of this. Your father is just relying on eight poles The unrecognizable national name and the dead county magistrate Lin won the sympathy of some squires and scholars, but I have earned a reputation through hard work, and sooner or later I will recruit scholars to the court."
Glancing bitterly at the group of ignorant fools around him, Han Shaochuan couldn't help showing a look of extreme disdain:
"You short-sighted people, when I become famous and honor my ancestors, I will smash your heads with that dirty vulgar thing sooner or later."
"Hey."
Hearing these words, Chu Nanzhi finally sighed unbearably:
"Since Erlang, you are so ambitious, you should first return the money you owed to this wine doctor. Why do you have to make things difficult for me? My mother and I are both rural women with little knowledge. Every day we open our eyes, we have to bend our waists for daily necessities. How can we pay for it?" It's worthy of a celebrity like you coming here for entertainment."
"That's right, Han Erlang, if you don't give me a small amount of money today, I can't go back to do business."
Dr. Jiu was even more annoyed when he heard this, and continued to ask him for money with a dejected face.
"You group of people, embarrassing me as a scholar in public is simply unreasonable, insulting to gentleness, insulting to gentleness."
Han Shaochuan shook his head resentfully, turned sideways and inadvertently saw Qi Mochen striding over.
He was overjoyed, and immediately greeted him as if he had encountered a life-saving straw:
"Brother Qi, Brother Qi, you are here, you have done me a terrible harm, brother-in-law."
Everyone, remember to vote for the recommended votes in your hands, ahem, don't be insulting to gentlemen!
