The group returned to the village in the Zheng family's carriage, which attracted the attention of many villagers, and some even took the initiative to ask for an opportunity, which greatly increased Zhao Qianyun's vanity, and felt that Yang Ziqing was her beloved.

Yun Shi was very worried about Zhao He being left in the town and not coming back. Zhao Yi explained it and knew it was for Zhao He's sake, so he let go of his worries.

As for the others, even if Zhao Jinyu was there to help, Yang Qin was repaired. He had to kneel in the firewood room without food for the day. Zhao Yi was severely scolded, but he was indispensable for heavy work at home. Punish him not to eat.

Mrs. Wang wanted Zhao Chengping to go to the town to bring him back. Zhao Qianyun whispered in Mrs. Feng's ear: "Mother, it's good for us that that kid Zhao He stays in the town." In the evening we went to Yang Ziqing's grandfather's house. The guest room in his house was as big as the main house, and there were a lot of servants. The Yang family married the daughter of the Zheng family, so it must not be bad. Zhao He was left with Yang Ziqing's little uncle. , in the future, we can take advantage of the opportunity to visit Zhao He to establish a good relationship with the Zheng family, and it will not be easy to meet the Yang family again."

Feng felt that what her daughter said made sense, and was dazed by what Zheng's family said, so she patted Zhao Qianyun's hand and said, "Don't scholars often say that you get the moon first, your brother is Yang Ziqing's senior brother , talk to your senior brother later." Zhao Qianyun nodded with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Feng said to Mrs. Wang: "Mother, Zhao He can't do much work at home when he is young, and he saves food when he is away."

Wang wanted to reprimand, but she thought it made sense, so she put the matter behind her.

Zhao Zhongsheng's husband, father and son were not there, and Zhao Chengbao hadn't come back yet.

Yang Qin only had one breakfast at Zheng's house, because of his poor appetite due to what happened last night, he only ate a few mouthfuls.He didn't eat lunch, and his hungry stomach screamed, but he was locked in the woodshed.

At night, Zhao's family could be heard, but no one mentioned to release him, and Zhao Yi was nowhere to be seen.Yang Qin gritted his teeth: A bastard who doesn't know how to repay kindness.

In the middle of the night, the boredom was pried open, Yang Qin was already hungry and couldn't speak, his nose moved, um, it smelled of meat.

Zhao Yi held up a roasted chicken leg and handed it in front of him: "Mr. Wang hid everything that was edible. It was given by a gray wolf in the cave before I went to you."

Yang Qin was quite touched in his heart, this wolf is much better than a human.

Zhao Yi didn't say anything, but he was frightened at the time. After wandering around the mountain for a long time without finding anything to eat, he remembered the cave that Yang Qin took him to. He thought it was still the same three before, but he didn't expect that there were more in the corner. The two big wolves threw themselves on him suspiciously and sniffed him before they let go of their paws. They picked the thinnest chicken for him and immediately urged him to leave.

After Yang Qin finished eating the chicken, his stomach felt much better, and his mouth felt dry, so he sent Zhao Yi to get him some water.

Zhao Yi handed the water to Yang Qin and said: You are patient, you should be able to come out tomorrow.

Yang Qin replied with the word "en" in a muffled voice, while Tuan refused to say any more.Zhao Yi also squatted aside to accompany him.It was very cold at night, and the firewood room was a little drafty. Zhao Yi wanted to hug him, but Yang Qin stared at him, stopped his hands and hugged him again.

The body is so hard that you can feel it through your clothes, but it is indeed much warmer.

Zhao Yi woke up Yang Qin before dawn, fearing that he would fall asleep and catch cold.He secretly took away the bones on the ground, closed the firewood gate again, and left quietly.

Yang Qin sat on a piece of wood and counted the firewood in front of him.

Before Mrs. Wang woke up and let him out, the door of Zhao's house was kicked and slammed, and Yang Qin was startled.Wang's yelling and cursing came from outside the door: "Which shameless person knocks on the door early in the morning, Da Fang's family, you go and open the door."

The people outside the door were still kicking, Feng kicked Zhao Chengping a few times, Zhao Chengping turned over and tightened the quilt on his body: "Go and open it." Feng cursed and put on a piece of clothes casually and went to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he was knocked to the ground by someone, and he was furious instantly: "Who, my old lady dares..." Looking at the big men standing outside the door, he swallowed his saliva and swallowed the next words .

A middle-aged man in his forties walked in behind the big man, with a mustache, and looked at Feng with a smile: "This is the Zhao family, right?"

Feng Shi nodded tremblingly.

The middle-aged man suddenly changed his face: "Zhao Chengbao is from your Zhao family."

Feng shi subconsciously shook her head when she saw the vicious looks of several people, but was stared at by the big man behind the middle-aged man and nodded again.

Feng's cautious middle-aged man: "May I ask what happened to my uncle."

The middle-aged man put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly: "It's nothing. Yesterday Zhao Chengbao lost a total of 340 taels of silver in our Fugui gambling house, but he only paid ten taels. Let's send someone to his house to pick it up." Return the remaining 330 taels."

"What?" Feng's eyes darkened and he almost fainted. 340 taels, the whole family's annual income does not exceed 30 taels. This is not money, it is life.

Mrs. Wang also ran out hearing the voices outside, and when she saw someone coming, she cursed: "Why did our Bao'er go to the gambling house? Where did the liar come from? Get out of here."

When the middle-aged man was told this, his face darkened: "Liar? Since you guys don't want to take the money, don't blame us for being rude, just hit me." As soon as the words fell, he stood still just now Several big men pushed Wang away and rushed into the main room that looked the best. After a while, there were sounds of various objects falling to the ground.

The Zhao family members had already gotten up, and Zhao Zhongsheng said cautiously to the middle-aged man: "My lord, did you make a mistake somewhere, Bao'er is just a scholar, and she should be studying at a classmate's house now, why would she go to you?" Casino?"

"That's right, our Bao'er is a scholar, and we don't kneel down when we see officials. You dare to slander Bao'er. When Bao'er comes back, you must look good to me." Wang stood up from the ground in an instant, and said with high toes.

The middle-aged man looked worried, and his face was even colder: "Let's not talk about a small scholar, even the master Juren would not want to pay back the money. A scholar, a scholar must be reasonable."

Just as Mrs. Wang was about to say a few more words, a big man came over: "Second Master, only these 20 taels of silver were found, and there is still a copper coin."

Wang immediately cried, "Who asked you to take my silver?" As he said that, he wanted to rush up and grab it back, but the big man kicked up, and Wang fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man called the second master gave Wang a disdainful look, and said coldly: "These will be used as interest, you'd better collect the rest of the money as soon as possible, and I'll chop off a finger one day later. After chopping off the hands, there will still be feet until you pay back the money." After speaking, he took a group of people and left.

Frightened by the chopping of fingers, Wang grabbed Zhao Zhongsheng and told him to find a solution quickly.Zhao Zhongsheng was also terrified.Zhao Chengping has been hiding in the house and did not come out, and Zhao Chengcai was also dragged by Xiao Wang.

Zhao Yi waited for the others to leave, picked up the key that had fallen on the floor and opened the chaimen door, and Yang Qin came out. Just now, Yun Shi was asked to stay in the room obediently, but there was no sound outside the door, and Yun Shi also walked out of the house worried.

The whole main house was in a mess, and the floor of Zhao Chengbao's study and room in the west was covered with all kinds of books. Black ink was splashed on it, and the words could not be read clearly.

Yang Qin watched coldly.

Feng said: "Mother, it's more than 300 taels, don't think about asking us to pay it back, let alone hand in all the usual money, and there is no such thing as my uncle owes money at the gambling shop, and the brother who is married will help repay the debt."

Xiao Wang was very unwilling, but held back and didn't say anything.Yun Shi glanced at Zhao Yi and also lowered his head silently.

Zhao Jinyu was indeed shameless towards his little uncle, but the way of Confucius and Mencius he had been immersed in for many years forced him to say: "Grandma, I still have the five taels of silver I saved over the years."

"Jinyu, that's what you saved. It's none of Zhao Chengbao's business." Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied. Her mother-in-law was eccentric, and every time she gave her brother-in-law a lot more money than she gave to Zhao Jinyu. There are many more in town.

"Bao'er is your uncle!" Zhao Zhongsheng, who had been silent all this time, spoke before Wang.

"Father, to be ruthless, my family's Jinyu is also a scholar. Even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about my son. You have spent all your family money for my uncle. How will our family live in the future?" Zhao Chengbao was dissatisfied, and now he wanted to owe so much money.

Zhao Zhongsheng couldn't reply, and Wang yelled: "Bah, Da Fang's family, you are usually very filial. Helping my uncle pay off the debt is what you should be sisters-in-law. If you talk nonsense, Cheng Ping will leave you."

Feng Shi was also angry, pointing at Zhao Chengping and yelling: "Okay, I have been married to your family for more than ten years, and my first child died in less than three months, and I gave birth to Jinyu. Urine raised your son-in-law to be a scholar, so you can rest if you say so, and let me do the job of being a daughter-in-law." While talking, he rolled on the ground.Mrs. Feng was pregnant with her first child shortly after entering the house. Later, Zhao Chengping suddenly went home one day in a state of embarrassment and said that she would not be a scholar. At the beginning, Mrs. Feng was interested in Zhao Chengping, who was likely to become a scholar. , I fell down when I was excited, and the child was gone. This has always been a thorn in Feng's heart, and it is really sad to be turned over.

Zhao Jinyu frantically tried to help Feng Shi up, Feng Shi was fat and strong, Zhao Jinyu, a weak scholar, not only failed to help him up, but also fell to the ground, Feng directly lay on Zhao Jinyu's shoulder and cried loudly.Zhao Chengping hid aside and said nothing.Just as Zhao Chengcai was about to go forward, he was grabbed by Mrs. Wang and shook his head at him. More than 300 taels is not a small amount. If Zhao Chengbao was redeemed, his family would not be able to live. Before, he secretly saw the doctor, the doctor He said that he was pregnant, and wanted to surprise Zhao Chengcai, so he didn't rush to say it, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

Zhao Qianyun over there suddenly said, "Isn't the sister-in-law of the lobby very familiar with the Zheng family, can I ask his family for help?"

Zhao Zhongsheng and Wang Shi turned their gazes to him instantly.

Yang Qin sneered in his heart, and after a while he said: "It's just because I did a little favor when I was working at Zheng Lao Bookstore, and I don't know him very well."

Wang quickly said, "Then why is he willing to accept Zhao He?"

Yang Qin was not in a hurry: "I didn't agree to accept it, I just said it depends on my qualifications. When I begged Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng also lost his temper. I took the promise with me first for the sake of that little busyness."

Seeing that Zhao Qianyun wanted to speak again, she said first, "My cousin is still Mr. Yang's senior brother, maybe I can ask him for help."

Zhao Qianyun didn't want her relatives to leave a bad impression in front of Yang Ziqing, so she suddenly lost her voice.

But Wang's stared at Zhao Jinyu, Feng's and Zhao Qianyun glared at him angrily.

Yang Qin didn't think it was too much, Zhao Jinyu didn't do anything to make you think of me, but in order not to make life difficult for him, he can only suffer, and I can only blame you for having such a disgusting person younger sister.

Zhao Jinqin didn't know what Xiao Wang said, and kept silent all the time, but when she looked at Zhao Qianyun, her expression was a little bit wrong.
