A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous
Chapter 113 1 Night Debt
Of course, Wen Meijiu also had her own concerns. The antidote she gave to Zhang Shen was a modern pill. Even though she had done something with the bottle, she was afraid of meeting someone who knew the subject.
Zhang Can doesn't understand medicine and can't see it, but a doctor who specializes in medicine might become curious about her identity when he sees this thing.
By doing this, she also avoided getting herself into trouble.
Zhang Can could understand why Wen Meijiu warned him like that. He would have said the same thing if he were in her shoes. This thing was more valuable than gold. What was in the bottle was not an antidote, but human life.
"I've made note of it, don't worry, sister."
Wen Meijiu nodded, she should go now.
Zhang Can was afraid that something might happen on the way, so he asked his men to pretend to be coachmen and send the warm wine home.
Wen Meijiu saw the village entrance from afar with five carts of food, but did not dare to go forward. He asked them to drive to a secluded temple to hide first.
There were so many people around that she only wanted a carriage, but the carriage was loaded with so much food that it would be too conspicuous.
Wen Meijiu walked into the village alone and met several villagers on the way. They all greeted her warmly and treated her as the God of Wealth.
This one said, "Wine, your skin is really nice, unlike us who are almost skin and bones because of hunger. Let me touch it and get some good luck."
The other said, "My goodness, you have a round forehead and a round chin. If you don't have someone you like, you can come to me and I will be your matchmaker."
Wen Meijiu looked at the two faces in front and behind them, too lazy to even ask, and continued walking home.
"Why did you come back only now?"
As soon as Wen Meijiu entered the yard, he was pulled aside by his mother who was lighting a fire in the kitchen.
Mother looked around and saw no one was around, so she leaned over to Wen Meijiu's ear and whispered:
“Good wine, that prince is here again today.
The demand yesterday has already used up all our savings. If it continues today, we will not be able to survive."
My mother was really angry. The five taels of silver in her hand were the whole family's hope for the whole year. Who knew that Young Master Wang came and spent over a hundred taels of silver on lunch in one go.
I finally got rid of him yesterday, but who knew he would come back again early this morning at noon.
Guests are welcome, and my mother politely invited them into the house based on the principle that harmony brings wealth. But they stayed there for another whole morning, and when it was almost time for lunch, they still sat there and refused to leave.
In Wen Meijiu's opinion, the county magistrate was extremely respectful to Master Wang, and they had also agreed that the county magistrate would pay for any money demanded. So why was he asking his mother for money?
Wen Meijiu became anxious when he heard this, and turned to go back into the house, muttering:
"What is it? I have to go in and ask him."
When her mother saw that Wen Meijiu was about to go in and quarrel with others, she quickly pulled her back from behind and warned her:
"Good wine, don't be impulsive. I think this prince seems to have other thoughts."
Young Master Wang is a man of status, while the Wen family has no background or connections, otherwise Wen Meijiu would not have sold herself to someone else's house as a maid.
The mother didn't know how Wen Meijiu redeemed herself from Prince Wang's mansion, but at the moment, Prince Wang's entanglement with her daughter would not end here, which coincided with her husband's guess.
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. Yesterday, my mother had already written an IOU for hundreds of taels of silver to Young Master Wang. Now that he is here again today, wouldn't yesterday's money have been wasted?
The money was wasted and the daughter was about to be taken away by someone. Once this thought came to the mother's mind, she felt terrified.
“No, Meijiu, you need to leave here and hide somewhere else.
The county has been in unrest these past two days, with many disaster victims coming from the north. It looks like the situation here won't be much better.
Your father and I are discussing leaving here and living somewhere else. When we are ready, we will come to find you. What do you think?"
My mother's voice became lower and lower, and she spoke like a thief. She kept glancing into the house, afraid that someone inside would come out and hear her.
The family finally got together, but before they had even had two days to enjoy this good life, a new "creditor" showed up.
After experiencing the painful days of losing her children, mother no longer wanted to live like that. She discussed with father and decided to secretly leave this unfortunate place and live somewhere else, hoping to escape from such a predicament.
When they go to a foreign place, no one will know them and they won’t have any “creditors” to speak of. Perhaps they can live a prosperous and harmonious life.
It’s not that mother doesn’t want to pay back the prince’s debt, it’s mainly because the debt came too unexpectedly and was too catastrophic, they simply can’t afford it.
Although Wen Meijiu also considered taking his family to escape famine to other places, escaping famine is different from hiding from debt.
Besides, Prince Wang clearly didn’t spend a penny on the meal, so isn’t this extortion?
"Mother, let's talk about this later. I have to go in and explain the matter of Ding Suohuan to Master Wang.
Why should he take your five taels of silver when he didn't spend a penny? He doesn't even think it's embarrassing."
In Wen Meijiu's impression, his mother only had five taels of silver left in her hand.
Who knew that as soon as she finished her words, her mother suddenly lowered her voice and interrupted her.
"What five taels of silver? If it were five taels of silver, mother wouldn't be in such a dilemma now.
That's one hundred and ten taels of silver!"
Mother was afraid that her words might be too harsh and might frighten Wen Meijiu, so she sighed softly and continued:
"He didn't ask for the IOU. Your father insisted on giving it to him."
"Ah! Why is that?"
Wen Meijiu really couldn't understand why his father would do such a thing.
Not to mention that Suo Huan didn't have to pay, even if he did, since she was not here to warm the wine, Prince Wang shouldn't have asked her parents to pay for it!
At this time, Wen Meijiu also began to suspect whether Prince Wang was a two-faced person.
In front of her, he was very kind and respectful to her mother. He didn't seem like such a greedy and petty person!
Wen Meijiu asked anxiously, so her mother stamped her feet and told her.
Yesterday, my parents brought Bu Er and Bu Er's father home, and to be honest, they had a pretty good chat.
It was not until noon that Prince Wang returned in a sedan chair, followed by the beating of gongs and drums to signal the return of the sedan chair.
Such a big commotion and such a grand display naturally attracted people of all ages in the village to come and watch.
My parents both attached great importance to the arrival of Prince Wang. My mother even had my father carried to the doorstep to express her welcome to Prince Wang.
In front of so many people, the maids and waiters of Qingfeng Tower brought things into the house one by one, served a dish and announced its name, and every word sounded so beautiful that Dad and Mom felt more honored than ever before.
After everything was neatly arranged, the maids and the servants bowed to the father and mother, called them Master and Madam, and then stood in front of them and said all kinds of auspicious words.
Dad has seen some of the world, and since people treat them like this, they should at least give him some money as a reward.
