Chapter 28 Debt Collection

In the days that followed, Su Hua was busy with the dowries during the day. According to the memory of the Lu family, she went to this pawn shop today and that pawn shop tomorrow, but she also recovered a lot of dowries.

At night, she would stay up late reading other people's pastry-making handbooks, or try out recipes in the small kitchen, often staying busy until late at night.

There were also some large dowries that had been kept in Xiao Zheng's own village. Mrs. Su Er, Mrs. Su, took people to move them back without saying a word.

Although little Zheng was very angry when she learned about it, she didn't dare to overdo it and just cried in front of Mr. Su. However, after crying for a long time, Mr. Su became bored and started not to go home and stay drunk in Songlou day and night.

Little Zheng was so angry that she lay in bed for several days and couldn't get out of bed.

After Mrs. Su heard the news, she happily shared it with everyone in Songhe Hall, and happily rewarded everyone in the Su family with a silver nugget.

At the same time, Second Madam Su also used this incident to clean up the Su family's servants inside and outside. The vacant positions were either replaced by her own people, or they directly bought young maids and servants from Ren Yazi. nourish.

Suddenly, the whole Su family took on a new look.

After Mr. Su learned about the dowry, he handed over the deed of the house in the south of the city to Su Hua and said, "This house is mine. Now that it is here with you, you will collect the rent on time, and the money will be used as payment." It’s the money Xiao Zheng stole from your dowry.”

Su Hua became happy when she heard this. She laughed for a long time before holding Old Mrs. Su's hand and saying, "Grandpa, I don't need this house deed anymore. I have already thought of a way. Don't worry."

Old Master Su hurriedly asked Su Wei what idea he had in mind, but Su Hua made a grimace and refused to tell Old Master Su, which caused Old Master Su to ponder over the solution for several days.

After all the dowry that could be recovered was recovered, Mrs. Su asked Su Hua if she wanted to call some people to ask Xiao Zheng for the remaining gold, silver and jewelry.

"I'm going to get the rest of the dowry, but I'm not going to ask little Zheng for it." Su Hua approached Madam Su Er and whispered in her ear, "I'm going to ask the Zheng family for it. "

"The Zheng family in Uncle Loyalty's Mansion?" Second Madam Su stared at Su Wei with rounded eyes and said, "My dear, do you know what you're talking about?"

Su Hua nodded seriously, and Mrs. Su's eyes widened even more, "Little ancestor, are you crazy?!"

Seeing that Mrs. Su was a little excited, Su Hua hurriedly explained, "Second Aunt, think about it, our activities during this period have not been hidden from everyone, but there is no movement at all in the house in the south of the city. Don't you find it strange?"

Mrs. Su Er frowned and said, "Could it be that the bad thing was exposed and she was ashamed, so she didn't dare to make any other moves?"

Su Hua curled her lips, "If that little Zheng is ashamed, I can just take her last name."

The more Mrs. Su thought about it, the more impossible it became, and she added, "Then tell me why?"

"I think little Zheng may have put the rest of the dowry in her aunt's village or shop, and they are all gold and silver jewelry that are easy to get rid of, so I thought about it and went to the Zheng family to ask for the debt. .”

"When I used to play with Su Mei, I accidentally heard something about little Zheng's biological mother, Auntie Sun."

Su Hua glanced around, took Mrs. Su's hand and whispered, "Then Mrs. Zheng dotes on Aunt Sun, and privately gave her a shop in a good location and a farm with good farmland. This matter to the rest of the Zheng family Nobody knows."

Second Madam Su raised her handkerchief to cover her mouth, and took a deep breath, "My God, is it true?"

Su Hua nodded and continued, "Really, I asked Grandma Cui to check it out in the past few days, and found that it was indeed true."

"Oh, damn it, where does this put Mrs. Zheng?"

Madam Su Er shook her handkerchief in disgust and clicked her tongue.

"I think so too." Su Hua nodded in agreement, "So, I said I was going to the Zheng family to ask for this debt, but actually I was going to ask Aunt Sun for it!"

"Then you are right! You really have to ask the Zheng family for the money! Why are you using the dowry left by your sister-in-law to support the Zheng family?"

Mrs. Su Er took Su Hua's hand and shook it, saying, "Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else. Our Fang family is best at going to shops and houses to collect debts."

"I will go to my mother's house to call some people for you then, and I will tell you to get back all the remaining dowry in full."

At this time, Su Qiang walked into the room and saw Su Hua and Mrs. Su with their heads touching each other and whispering excitedly. She coughed a few times in a funny way, "What are you two talking about? You are still touching your heads. Yes, isn’t there anyone else in this house?”

Mrs. Su Er and Su Hua smiled knowingly and said hurriedly, "It's nothing. You'll know after a while."

Mrs. Su Er and Aunt Cui had previously planned to let Su Hua stay at home and wait for news. After all, her status was not good enough to come directly to collect debts, but Su Hua insisted on going together. In desperation, they had no choice but to let Su Hua wear a hat. Just stood back and watched.

The shop that Mrs. Zheng gave to Aunt Sun privately was at the end of Zhuque Street, the busiest street in the imperial capital. It was a shop selling medicinal materials.

To the right of the shop is an alley, with many idle men squatting against the wall, basking in the sun and bragging to the people around them.

When Su Hua and the others appeared at the end of the street, one of the idle men, an old man with gray hair, said "poof", spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth, and kicked the man next to him who was talking with flying eyebrows. A lusty, muscular young man.

The two of them laughed and cursed a few more times with the people next to them, then kicked off their worn shoes and walked deeper into the alley.

The Su family's carriage finally stopped in a teahouse not far from the herbal medicine shop, and soon Su Hua followed Second Madam Su to the private room on the second floor, and opened the window to see the medicinal herb shop.

"Mr. Zheng really loves Aunt Sun." Su Hua glanced at the people in the shop and clicked her tongue, "The shopkeeper was previously the chief steward of the Zheng Mansion. His surname was Hu. Later, he seemed to be Mr. Zheng was transferred out, but he didn't expect to come here to manage the shop."

Mrs. Su Er put the poured tea in front of Su Hua, raised her head and said, "Tsk, if you spoil your concubine and kill your wife, you really won't be afraid of being struck by lightning."

The business of the medicine shop is very good, and there is a banner hanging high above the shop, which says Sun Yaowang Medical Shop.Occasionally, a man wearing patched clothes wanted to go in, but the store clerk quickly kicked him out.

The guy was still yelling, "Let's go, let's go, this is not the place you should be!"

The idle men squatting on the side looked at this scene, and they all started to make a fuss, and the waiter also scolded them.

There was a lot of noise here, and someone on the other side of the street shouted, "Make way! Make way! Everyone, please make way!"

The noise was so loud that the store clerk and the idle men couldn't help but stop arguing. They turned around and saw a strong young man with red eyes running towards the drug store carrying an old man with gray hair on his back.

The old man was leaning on the young man's shoulder, his head tilted and swaying as the young man ran. His nosebleeds continued to flow downwards. A lot of foam came out of his mouth, and there was a clicking sound in his throat.

This appearance also frightened those who gathered around the door of the drug store to watch the excitement or quarrel. They all dispersed with a "whoop". The young man ran along the place where everyone dispersed to the front of the store. When he wanted to enter the store, he was stopped by the clerk. After a push, he stumbled and fell to the ground with the old man!
The old man landed hard, his whole body twitched, and blood began to ooze from the corners of his mouth.
