Mingmen Family

Chapter 100
Yu frowned.

She borrowed all the people she could borrow today, and she used all the means of threats, and promised that the money would be the part of the income they would give to the Song family in the future, so she borrowed 600 taels.

After all, those who come to attach themselves to them will not be too rich; people who are rich to a certain extent, such as the Ye family, also have certain power, so there is no need to attach themselves to a small Juren.The living money in the hands of the little landlord was only tens of taels of silver. With her various methods, they basically borrowed all they could, and they really couldn't squeeze it out.

"Why don't you go to Master Wang?" She said, "Tell me about your hardships and see if he can lend us some money? If you can't, then ask him to be a lobbyist and let Ye Jiashao Collect some money?"

Seeing Song Yifeng hesitate, she taught earnestly: "Son, you have to know that only children who can cry can eat. Didn't you say that Mr. Wang cherishes your talent and treats you like his own son? This son has difficulties. Don’t you have to complain to your elders? He doesn’t have any money to lend you, so it’s always okay to intercede for you, right? Even if he can’t intercede for you, he’s full of guilt for you, isn’t he?”

Song Yifeng suddenly became enlightened, and looked at Yu Shi with admiration: "Mother, you are right. I know what to do."

What they want is not Mr. Wang's money or intercession, but Mr. Wang's approval and sympathy.

"Mother, I won't eat anymore. Before it's dark, I'll go to Lord Wang's house first."

"Go, let's go." After watching her son go out, Yu went back to the house with satisfaction. After thinking about it, she entered the bedroom, took out a box from the bedside, and opened the box with the key hanging on her chest. A few pieces of gold, silver and jade objects inside were exposed.

These jewelry are naturally the ones given to her by the original owner.Since she was going to retire, there was no need to keep these jewelry. She planned to pawn them if Song Yifeng couldn't borrow money.

Song Yifeng came back very late and still smelled of alcohol.

Mrs. Yu asked him joyfully, "Did Master Wang let you drink?"

"Yeah." Song Yifeng drank a little drunk.

"Did you borrow any money?" Yu asked in a low voice.

Song Yifeng's face turned dark all of a sudden: "Master Wang advised me to sell the field first, and buy it later when I have the ability."

After a pause, he said, "I sold the field to Mr. Wang."

Yu was taken aback, and asked anxiously, "How much money did you sell?"

"1000 taels."

"What?" Yu's voice suddenly rose.

The fields around Lin'an City are not easy to buy. Over the years, she has put in so much thought and energy to buy these fields, and she has also worked hard to replace all the fields to one place, which is convenient for management.

The fields she bought were all middle and high-grade fields, with a total of 120 mu, worth at least 300 taels.Because they are connected together, you can still buy 400 taels after bargaining.

In the end, Mr. Wang took advantage of the fire to rob and bought these fields for 1000 taels of silver. What is the difference between this and gouging out her heart?
"You agreed?" She stared at Song Yifeng closely and asked.

The mother's screaming and nervousness woke up Song Yifeng's alcohol.

He nodded, ignored his mother, went directly to the room and sat down, and ordered Xiaoxiang to pour tea.

After he drank two cups of tea and relieved the last bit of alcohol, he said: "Since Mr. Wang has opened his mouth, there are still people making noises, so I can't agree."

Song Yifeng can be regarded as having survived the hard times. He values ​​money as much as his mother.

They lost three or four hundred taels of silver for no reason, and Song Yifeng was also very upset at the critical period when they were most short of silver.

"It's okay." He comforted his mother and himself, "What I lost today, I will definitely earn back twice as much in the future."

In the past, he only wanted to compare Mrs. Wang's daughter with Ye Yaming.

But it was probably because he was about to withdraw from the marriage, and because Mr. Wang even took advantage of three or four hundred taels of silver, his situation suddenly opened up.

He had finally withdrawn his marriage, and now he has come to this point. Why is his vision limited to marrying an eighth-rank official?What is Master Wang?It's just a student, an eighth-rank official.When he was admitted as a Jinshi, he was young and ambitious, and I don't know how many senior officials of the third and fourth ranks in Beijing wanted to marry their daughters to him.

It's better to suffer for two years, and it won't be too late to discuss marriage after he is admitted to Jinshi.

When he is admitted as a Jinshi and marries the daughter of a high-ranking official, if Mr. Wang took advantage of him today, he will definitely let him repay it twice.

But he didn't plan to tell his mother about these thoughts for the time being.

Mr. Wang still has to hang there.He was worried that his mother would not be able to hide her words and would bring them out when chatting with others.

Mrs. Yu misunderstood what he meant, and thought he meant to get back from her after marrying the daughter of the Wang family.Moreover, the matter has come to this point, do they still have the guts to regret it?

She sighed and said, "That's the only way."

She asked Xiaoxiang to take out the box from her bedroom, put it on a table, opened it with her own hands, and said: "There is still 500 taels left, I will take these jewelry to pawn tomorrow, and I should be able to make up 3000 taels of silver." together."

Song Yifeng looked at the jewelry inside, frowned, and asked, "Are these the jewelry that Ye Yaming gave you?"

"Yes." Looking at these jewelry, Yu felt a dull pain in her heart when she thought that they would not belong to her soon.

She turned her face away, tried not to think about it, and said to her son: "Although Ye Yaming doesn't have to worry about these things, I will show you to let you know. In case the Ye family mentions You'd better think about how to deal with these jewelry in advance. The money spent when buying a house is the same."

Song Yifeng was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay."

"What about the 1000 taels of silver?" Yu asked.

Song Yifeng took out a bank note from his pocket and handed it to Shi Yu.

"Can it be exchanged?" Yu asked worriedly.

"It should be ok. If you are worried, you can exchange it tomorrow." Song Yifeng was not at ease.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should rest early." Yu Shi said.

The next morning, she took the jewelry to pawn as expected.

She knew that the biggest pawn shop in Lin'an City was run by the Mei family, so she deliberately walked a little farther, went to the west of the city, and found a pawn shop she was not familiar with.For this reason, the price of those jewelry was lowered, and only 300 taels of silver were returned.

"This is 500 taels of silver. You take it. The other 300 taels will be exchanged for bank notes and you will keep them with you. If possible, I will not give you the 300 taels if you can; the Ye family asks for it." , you just write the IOU, and keep the money, our family will have a lot of places to use the money in the future. If it’s too bad, you can take out the thousand 300 taels again." She told Song Yifeng carefully.

Song Yifeng nodded, picked up the banknote and put it in his arms.
