Chapter 23 I'm Looking for Sister Su
Su Yu gained a general understanding of the currency of this world from the conversation between the Qiao sisters.
One tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, which are commonly known as one string of coins. Ten taels is equal to ten strings of coins.
According to Qiao San and Qiao Si, their monthly salary is only three taels, which is considered a high salary in Cangzhou.
Wangjia Village is just a remote small village. The only place where they can spend money is to go to the nearest Anhe County to buy some daily necessities such as salt.
Anhe County is at least 200 miles away from here. Jin Xuerong and the Qiao sisters drove a carriage from Anhe County to enjoy the mountains and rivers, which took them a whole day and a night.
The people in Wangjia Village have no means of transportation, so it will take them longer to go to Anhe County to shop than Jin Xuerong and the others.
When Su Yu heard the news, he was stunned.
I don’t know whether I should first lament that Jin Xuerong is good at spending money, or that Village Chief Wang and the others have no place to spend their money.
Or maybe she was glad that she didn't blindly escape the village. If she had walked aimlessly and not met anyone, she would have collapsed. She was almost exhausted after that day and night in the woods the day before yesterday.
Su Yu is sincerely grateful to the Qiao sisters.
"Third Sister Qiao, Fourth Sister Qiao, thank you so much! If you hadn't told me this, even if I could leave the village, I don't know how blind I would be!"
Qiao San patted Su Yu's shoulder and said with emotion,
"This is fate! Sister Su, we're leaving the village tomorrow. Why don't you come back to Cangzhou with us? That place is big! Very prosperous! That's where we women can show our skills!"
When Qiao Si heard what Qiao San said, he quickly agreed.
"That's right! Sister Su, come with us to Cangzhou! What a coincidence that we met in Wangjia Village, and you even saved me! It's God's will that we become sisters! Come with us sisters to Cangzhou! We'll protect you!"
Qiao San said excitedly,
"Yes! From now on, we sisters will protect you! I can't say you will be very successful in Cangzhou, but we will definitely make you live a rich life and have no worries about finding a husband! We will leave tomorrow, and if anyone dares to stop you from leaving the village, we will beat him up!"
Su Yu looked at the way Third Sister Qiao and Fourth Sister Qiao were thinking about her and thanked them.
"Thank you so much, Third Sister Qiao and Fourth Sister Qiao! If it weren't for you, I would still be wondering what to do after I leave Wangjia Village.
Now that I have two sisters, I feel more confident. I'll trouble you to take me to Cangzhou! When we get to Cangzhou, I will definitely save up ten taels of silver as soon as possible to return it to your master."
Qiao San and Qiao Si were wondering when they heard Su Yu say that he would return ten taels of silver to their master, when Qiao Er pushed the door open and came in.
Qiao Er obviously heard Su Yu's words at the door.
"What ten taels of silver?"
Su Yu looked at Qiao Er who came in and explained,
"Just now, Village Chief Wang came over, and Master Jin asked Sister Qiao to give him ten taels of silver as a thank you gift for me staying with him for one night."
When the Qiao sisters heard this, they looked at each other.
What could they say? The master usually didn't care how much he spent, so he probably didn't think there was anything wrong with giving out the ten taels of silver on behalf of Sister Su Yu. But Sister Su Yu just said she wanted to return the money to the master, so no wonder she asked them about the money just now.
Qiao Er confirmed her guess. Just now, Huaizhi asked her why Su Yu suddenly became distant from her master. She vaguely guessed that Su Yu did not want to contact their master without money.
I never thought that there was such a thing as these ten taels of silver. These ten taels are nothing to the master, but they are indeed not very friendly to Sister Su Yu's current situation.
Qiao Er thought for a moment and said comfortingly,
"It's okay, Sister Su. It's only ten taels of silver. When we get to Cangzhou, my future sister-in-law will have opened many shops. She has many profitable jobs. As long as you are willing to work hard, although your monthly salary may not be as high as our sisters, you will definitely be able to pay back the master's ten taels in less than a year!"
After hearing what Qiao Er said, Su Yu suddenly felt that her future was bright. As a modern person, she had a lot of good things in her hands. If the shop was opened by someone who was familiar with the Qiao sisters, then when she sold some good things, he would definitely not cheat her!
Then wouldn't she be able to quickly accumulate initial capital and then win the beauty sooner?
Su Yu thanked, "Thank you so much!"
Qiao Er touched his nose guiltily. What was meant by the shop opened by her future sister-in-law was actually the shop managed by her future sister-in-law on behalf of the master.
The master inexplicably asked Sister Su Yu to bear a huge sum of money, and also took a fancy to someone else. As servants, they have to keep an eye on the master.
The Qiao sisters talked to Su Yu about Cangzhou and the shops opened by their brothers and sisters.
Su Yu silently calculated what he could sell. He would have to go to Cangzhou to see the shop and see what the sales were like.
It was getting darker and darker, and Qiao Da came back after patrolling the yard. Now that everyone was together, the four Qiao sisters and Su Yu went to bed.
There were a lot of people, and several of them slept on a large bunk bed, so it wasn't too crowded.
Su Yu slept on the outermost side, closest to the gate. He didn't know when it happened, but suddenly there was a loud knock on the gate.
Su Yu was the first to be woken up, followed by Qiao Da, and the other sisters of the Qiao family were also woken up one after another.
Qiao Da stood up and lit the oil lamp, and said to the others on the bed,
"I'll go out and take a look. You guys can continue to sleep. There's no danger in Wangjia Village."
After hearing what Qiao Da said, Qiao San and Qiao Si turned over and continued to sleep, but Qiao Er got up.
"Sister, I'll go with you."
Qiao Er got out of bed and turned around to see Su Yu half-rising in bed. He smiled at her and said,
"It's okay, go to sleep first, we'll be back soon."
Without waiting for Su Yu to answer, Qiao Da and Qiao Er went out with oil lamps.
Su Yu could see the faint glow of fire in the yard, and the moonlight was actually quite bright.
Although Qiao Da and Qiao Er said it was okay and asked them to continue sleeping, Su Yu still felt uneasy.
Qiao Er walked behind Qiao Da with an oil lamp. Qiao Da reached the door, and people outside the yard were still knocking on it.
Qiao Da said impatiently,
"Stop knocking! The door is open! Who is it? Why are you knocking on the door so late at night?"
Qiao Er also said in a bad tone,
"That's right! Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?!"
Qiao Da suddenly opened the gate and saw a man outside who took two steps back in fright. He looked like a young man.
Qiao Er walked forward with an oil lamp, wanting to see who was coming.
In the light of the oil lamp, a young face with tears in its eyes appeared in front of the two of them. It was not as handsome as their brother, but compared with other people in the village, it was quite good-looking.
This person was sobbing softly, with a crying tone,
"I'm looking for Sister Su. I heard she's here."
Qiao Da and Qiao Er looked at each other, and both could see the shock in their eyes. Qiao Er turned to the man and asked,
"Is this man talking about Miss Su Yu?"
The man nodded slightly.
"Yes! It's Sister Su."
When Qiao Da heard this, he couldn't help but suck his teeth. This girl Su Yu is so charming!
Seeing his eldest sister's strange expression, as if she was not going to speak, Qiao Er consciously tried to persuade her.
"It's not convenient at this late hour. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"
When the young man heard this, he shook his head and cried even harder.
"No! It will be too late tomorrow!"
Seeing that the man would not leave until he saw someone, Qiao Da and Qiao Er did not want to embarrass the man, so Qiao Da sighed.
"Second sister, please take him to the main hall first."
