The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that the eldest daughter of the county magistrate's mansion was holding a martial arts competition to find a husband today. The winner would get a reward of three hundred taels of silver, and he could also marry the beautiful daughter.
"If you know how to fight, you can go to the front and fight in the ring. If you beat everyone, you can get three hundred taels of silver, which is just enough to pay for my meal. You don't have to do odd jobs to pay off the debt."
"And I can marry the daughter of the county magistrate. This is the best of both worlds."
Song Liuli's eyes lit up, and he looked at Chu Nanxi expectantly, "Mr. Chu, you are very good at martial arts, why don't you go to the ring to fight? If you win, you will have money to pay for your meal, and you can also buy a carriage to go home. How nice."
"Are you crazy? If I win the fight, I can get the money, but what about the lady? Why do you want me to marry her?"
"Of course, you're going to be my wife. Don't you have a wife? Your parents will definitely agree to marrying the eldest daughter of the county magistrate."
"My parents would definitely not agree. They have already found a marriage for me at home, so there is no room for discussion. We are trying to find other solutions."
"This is the only way to make money quickly. It doesn't mean you have to steal. You can solve the problem by just putting in a little effort. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Why are you still unwilling to do it? What do you want?"
"You should do this yourself! I can't afford it."
"I don't know martial arts, so I'll just get beaten up if I go, and I won't get any money, which is a big loss."
"I can't do that anyway. My master taught me since I was a child to be upright and kind to others. I definitely won't do anything that just takes the money and runs away without marrying the girl."
"My master and uncle found out and immediately expelled me from the sect."
"Mr. Chu, aren't we in trouble now? I'm not asking you to steal or rob. I'm just borrowing some money from the county magistrate and will return it to him soon."
"What about the marriage? Tell me?"
"I will defeat everyone, and you marry the eldest daughter of the county magistrate. We will work together. I can feel that you have a good family background, and this will be fair to the girl."
Song Liuli hurriedly shook her hands, "I can't, I absolutely can't, my parents have already arranged a marriage for me, I will get married when I return, if my father knew about this he would definitely beat me to death."
"Your idea will never work. Don't try to hit me."
"If all else fails, let your servant marry the eldest daughter of the county magistrate and give him a bright future."
"Master Chu, I can't do that either. I have had an old illness since I was a child and I can't get married and have children in this lifetime, so we have to think of another way."
"You can't do this or that. Go to the backyard and clean the stable. You will live in the stable from now on. You can't leave until you earn enough money. Otherwise, I will report you to the authorities and they will arrest you and put you in jail."
"How can people live in a stable?"
"Should I reserve three upper rooms for you?"
"No, just ordinary ones are fine. We're not picky."
"You're dreaming. You owe me money for meals and you still want to stay in my room. It's already unfair to the horses to let you stay in the stables, and you still despise it."
"I'll give you two choices. One is to go out and earn money and come back to pay for my meal. The other is to go to the backyard and clean the stables. Don't talk nonsense."
"Boss, can you please let me go home first? When I get home, I will ask my servants to give you ten times the money. I will keep my word."
"No, if you run away, where can I find you?"
"My family is in Shucheng. They won't ruin my reputation because of this little bit of silver. Can I go home and ask someone to send a hundred taels of silver over?"
"You guys do odd jobs here first, then send a message back and have someone send the silver over."
"It will take more than a month to travel back and forth from Shucheng to here."
When Song Liuli thought that she would have to live in the stable for more than a month, the meal she had just eaten started to churn in her stomach.
She pitifully pulled Chu Nanxi's arm and shook it, "Mr. Chu, Big Brother Chu, Young Master Chu, I beg you, please go out and earn money and come back to pay the shopkeeper for the meal."
"How can people live in that stinking stable? Not to mention living there for more than a month, even living there for a day is unbearable. The whole body stinks and you will live with the stench for the rest of your life."
"Little one, please, have mercy on me!"
"Don't wobble around like that. You're a grown man acting like a girl. If you're not ashamed of yourself, I am."
Song Liuli hurriedly let go. She tried her best to avoid staying in the stable, but in Chu Nanxi's eyes, she was too effeminate.
"Young Master Chu, please say something!"
"No means no. I will never do such an immoral thing. I have my own bottom line, even if I have to live in a stable."
"Two of you go clean the stables, and one of you go to the kitchen and wash the dishes, quick."
Song Liuli looked at Chu Nanxi and yelled angrily: "You inhuman guy, you didn't have to live in the stable, but you chose not to."
"If your junior sister went to live in the stable, would you still be so principled?"
"If your junior sister knew that you lived in a stable, she would dislike you. Your stench would force her to stay away from you."
Chu Nanxi felt conflicted when she thought of Xi Lingxue. She would definitely not be willing to let her junior sister live in the stable.
If my junior sister knew that I lived in the stable, would she laugh at me for being so incompetent?
It's so laughable to tell others that the money for food is stuck here.
If the master and his uncle knew about this, they would definitely think that their disciple was useless and they would be extremely disappointed in them.
