Song Shulin was already afraid of his aunt, and now he didn't dare to go in and offend her.

So he turned around and went to the east end to see Chunsheng and the other children.

He saw Chunsheng's legs from a distance. When Chunsheng got on the ox cart, he fumbled out a few copper coins and wanted to pass them over, but when he saw the village head uncle actually took out a tael of silver, he couldn't afford to give him the copper coins.

But even if he took more, he wouldn't, and he really didn't have any. His wife managed the family's money, and he only had a dozen copper coins on him to buy cigarettes.

He secretly put the money back into his pocket and listened to the women scolding Sanzhu. He couldn't help but want to explain. After all, he was his cousin.

"Bah! What do you mean by no restraint? Song Shulin, how could you have beaten your son to death without restraint?"

"I, I, ah!" Song Shulin sighed, speechless.

He couldn't bear to beat his son, and when his wife scolded him, he wanted to persuade her.

Songjia Village was more than ten miles away from the county town. It was already noon when we arrived there.

Song Fuquan is the third grandson of the village head. He is not very old and is one year younger than Song Chunsheng.

"Brother Chunsheng, should we go to Xinglin Hall or the Li Family Clinic?"

Xinglintang is a government-run clinic for the benefit of the people. It is good for treating headaches and fevers, but if you want to treat your legs, Li's Clinic, which is famous for treating injuries, is of course a better choice.

Song Fuquan asked this because Xinglintang was cheap.

Chunsheng and his sister were obviously poor. The one or two ounces of silver their grandfather gave them was not enough to go to the Li family clinic.

"Of course, let's go to the Li family clinic." Song Jinxiu said without waiting for her brother to speak.

"Brother Fuquan, please take me to the pawnshop first. My mother left me a hairpin, and I'm going to pawn it first."

Song Fuquan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, there are hairpins, that's great, there's a pawnshop in front, wait for me to park the car, I'll go with you."

Although he didn't know whether the hairpin was valuable or not, he followed her to give San Ya courage.

"No, no, there are too many people in the county. If you leave, the cows will become disobedient and hurt people, which will be bad."

Song Jinxiu quickly winked at her brother, signaling him to stop the car, and then she got out of the car in a hurry without waiting for it to stop, pocketing the things in her clothes and ran to the pawnshop.

What a joke! How could Song Fuquan see her things?

Letting his brother know was to reassure him. Besides, his brother would not tell anyone else. But if Song Fuquan knew about it, he might spread it out.

"Hey... slow down. Wait..."

Seeing Song Jinxiu quickly turn across the street and enter the pawnshop, Song Fuquan shouted worriedly from behind.

He was still worried, this was a pawnshop.

"Brother Chunsheng, I'd better go take a look. If the pawnshop doesn't want it, I can help mediate."

He thought about how Chunsheng's mother had lived a hard life. He didn't know if her hairpin was worth much. If it was a wooden hairpin, the pawnshop might not even want it.

Because he often drove an ox cart to the county town, he thought he was knowledgeable. Song Fuquan was afraid that San Ya was timid and would not dare to bargain, so he wanted to help.

"It's okay. When my legs can't move, she'll have to take charge of the household. Let her practice more. Besides, there are really a lot of people on the street right now. You should lead the cow."

My sister lied and said she was going to be a hairpin, so we really can’t let Fuquan follow her, otherwise the truth will be revealed.

Song Chunsheng was also worried that his sister would be cheated by the pawnshop people, but he had no way to do anything. He didn't know how much the silver bowl, silver spoon and silver chopsticks could be pawned for.

Ten taels, that should be enough, right?

In the pawnshop, a shopkeeper with a goatee was looking at a glass cup.

A young man in a long gown said with reluctance, "Mr. Liu, this is a luminous cup, an heirloom in our family."

Song Jinxiu consciously lined up and stood behind the young man.

The goatee man said, "Well, it is indeed a luminous cup, but it has a lot of impurities. If it is a dead pawn, fifty taels, this is the highest price I will offer."

The counter was very high, and Song Jinxiu stood on tiptoe to look over.

A glass with impurities and spots on it is actually worth fifty taels.

Song Jinxiu couldn't help but feel something in her heart, and her thoughts probed into the space.

She tossed the silverware aside, rummaged through the trash can, and pulled out a crystal ball.

There was a landscape painting in the crystal ball. It was originally a decoration, but later the base broke and she threw it away.

The young man left with fifty taels of silver, and the man with the goatee looked at Song Jinxiu.

"Little girl, are you redeeming or pawning?"

"when"

Song Jinxiu quickly handed over the crystal ball.

"Boss, can you show me how much this is worth?"

The man with the goatee took the crystal ball and was shocked when he saw it. He stood up excitedly, and his movement was so big that the chair behind him fell over.

"Little girl, come in and talk."

The man with the goatee quickly invited Song Jinxiu to the VIP room in the teahouse.

"Little girl, where did you get this? Do your parents know that you came to the pawnshop?"

Song Jinxiu looked at the crystal ball owner whose eyes were rolling around, looking at her and then at her.

I thought, could this old man suspect that I stole it?

"This is my family's ancestral crystal ball. It was originally given to me by an immortal, but it's a family heirloom."

"A blessed land? Yes, it is indeed a blessed land."

Goatbeard looked at the beautiful scenery in the crystal ball and became more and more reluctant to let it go.

Song Jinxiu curled her lips. This was a small gift from someone when she bought her phone. She had just placed it on the table because she liked the landscape painting inside.

"Boss, give me a price. I need the money urgently to treat my brother. If the price is right, I will give it to you. If not, I will have to find another buyer."

The man with the goatee pondered for a long time, glancing at her with his small eyes, and said, "If it's a pawn, I'll give you this amount."

As he said this he gave a thumbs up.

Song Jinxiu: What does this mean? Is it one hundred taels or one thousand taels?

Song Jinxiu didn't understand and asked, "Ten thousand taels?"

When Goatbeard heard this, he immediately showed a look of horror and said exaggeratedly:

"Oh my, little girl, you're really asking for too much! Do you know how much ten thousand taels is? My entire pawnshop isn't worth that much."

"How much is that? One thousand taels is too little, isn't it? This is something left by the immortal. It's too cheap. What if the immortal gets unhappy and takes it back?"

Song Jinxiu also blinked and pretended to be innocent. Who asked you to stretch out a finger for people to guess?

Goatee was speechless as he looked into the crystal ball.

The material is crystal clear and flawless, and I don’t know how the scenery inside got in. It is indeed a treasure.

But one thousand taels...

If it was a poor young lady from an official family who came to do this, he might not dare to bargain too hard.

Looking at Song Jinxiu's patched and tattered jacket, he had a plan in mind.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Little girl, although this thing of yours looks nice, it's just a plaything. I was originally going to give you a hundred taels, but since you're in urgent need of money, how about I give you a hundred and fifty taels?"

"If I didn't need the money urgently, I wouldn't be willing to sell it for a thousand taels. What you're offering is too little. I won't sell it to you."

As Song Jinxiu spoke, she pretended to take the crystal ball.

"Aiya, aiya, we can discuss this."

Goatee quickly stopped her.
