Splendid Peasant Girl: The Reborn Husband Asks for a Hug

Chapter 23

Zhu Zi smiled and said to Chu Ning, "When the wild boar was pulled back yesterday, several clan elders saw it, and they all said they wanted to taste the game, so our old man decided to let it go..."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows.

That's not what the little fat man said earlier.

"Oh, don't worry, big girl, the half that belongs to you has been discounted by the old man according to the market price."

As Zhu Zi spoke, he took out a navy blue money bag from his sleeve pocket, "This is a tael of silver, young lady keep it."

Naturally, Chu Ning would not be polite to him, and directly reached out to take it, subconsciously thinking about it.

One or two shards of silver don't weigh much in your hand, and are even pitifully light, but the sound of collision and friction that belongs to metal is quite pleasant.

Thinking about the purse in his hand again, Chu Ning's brows were filled with joy.

Less is less, better than nothing, isn't it?

"Thank you young master for me."

"Hey."

Zhuzi agreed and said, "Our third young master said that you don't have to be polite, the eldest girl. Originally, the wild boar belonged to you, and he just helped sell it."

Speaking of it, their young master took advantage of it.

That pig was kicked to death by Miss Chu.

Xu Shi thought of the scene at that time, and subconsciously glanced at Chu Ning's lap.

How can such a skinny little girl have so much strength?

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

Zhu Zi came back to his senses in an instant, "Oh, our young master wants to ask the eldest girl to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow."

Chu Ning motioned him to turn his head to look, "Do you think you can go up the mountain in this situation?"

Yesterday's snow was not light, it fell flutteringly in the middle of the night, and a thick layer was accumulated on the ground. It is not easy to walk on the flat road, let alone go up the mountain.

Speaking of snow, Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he looked into the yard behind him. He didn't pay attention to it, but now he saw that the yard was clean and the snow had been swept away.

Thinking of Chu Jing's red nose from the cold, her complexion turned black visible to the naked eye.

Zhu Zi still thought that she was dissatisfied with Fang Shengyu, and repeatedly explained for Fang Shengyu that their young master also knew that the mountain road was difficult, so he didn't want to go deep, but just wandered around the foot of the mountain or in a gentle area. It would be better if he could catch a pheasant or a rabbit, and there would be no harvest. It's nothing, just take it easy.

Seeing that Chu Ning was still stern and silent, Zhu Zi thought for a while and then talked about Fang Shengyu's slingshot. He said that even though it was just a toy, it was exquisitely crafted and made of high-quality materials. Let's just talk about the seemingly ordinary wood , It was also the lychee wood that was transported from the south with great effort, and so on, I talked a lot.

To sum it up, it's one sentence.

That slingshot is a real gem.

Chu Ning looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you showing off to me?"

Zhu Zi choked and almost lost his breath, "The big girl is joking, but the little one means that."

"Then what do you mean?"

Hey, this temper.

Thinking of Fang Shengyu's explanation, Zhuzi took a deep breath, "Our young master said that as long as the eldest girl is willing to accompany him to go hunting in the mountains, I will allow you to borrow it to play..."

"Say it earlier!"

Chu Ning waved his hand, "Okay, I understand, you can go back."

Zhu Zi almost choked again, "Well, I'll call the eldest girl tomorrow morning..."

"alright, I got it."

Chu Ning stuffed the purse into her bosom, and was about to go back, but what she thought of, she asked in wonder, "Since your young master wants to go up the mountain so much, why don't you go today?"

"Fang Yuanwai in the town is celebrating his birthday today, and the young master is going to visit the old man."

"Oh, go to town?"

Chu Ning suddenly became interested, and she asked, "How far is it from the village to the town?"

Zhu Zi asked, "Miss Chu is going to the town too? Or with the Fang family's carriage..."

Chu Ning waved his hand, "That's not necessary, just tell me how to get to Qiaodong Town and leave."

Pillar……

Ok.

After inquiring about it carefully, Chu Ning knew what was in his mind, waved his hand to send the pillar away, and walked briskly back to Chu's courtyard.

"Where is the silver that the kid gave?! Bring it!"

Turning around and meeting someone asking for money, Chu Ning's good mood disappeared immediately.

"I owe you!"

She said casually that she was about to leave, and the cold wind was blowing on her face with a knife, it was really not a good feeling, she was stupid to blow the cold wind with this kind of person.

Seeing Chu Ning's arrogance, Kong yelled, "Of course you owe it! Not only do you owe it, but you owe it a full 50 taels! You bastards can't afford to pay it off..."

Chu Pinggui coughed forcefully through the window, Kong's tone paused, and he stopped mentioning the seller, but he still reached out to block Chu Ning's way, "Don't talk so much nonsense, pay back the money quickly!"

Return your sister!
Chu Ning sneered, "Is there something wrong with your brain? Chu Shouxin is the one who owes foreign debts. You need money to find him."

Last night after old Xiucai Fang left, the Chen family quarreled with the old Mr. Chen for Chu Dalang's money. In the end, the exhausted Chu Pinggui made the decision and asked the old Mr. Chen to return the money to Chu Dalang.

He also said that the 50 taels of silver was a gambling debt repaid for Chu Shouxin, and had nothing to do with the third party.

And in the future, no one is allowed to mention the matter of selling people, and whoever dares to mention it will be kicked out of this family.

Chu Shouren and Kong were naturally dissatisfied with this result. Chu Shouxin, that bastard, let alone had no money, would not obediently pay back the money even if he had it, so the two fought hard with Chu Pinggui and insisted on paying the money from the public.

The old Chen family kept yelling that the family had no money, so the two proposed to sell sisters Chu Ning again. Not wanting Chu Pinggui to be furious, Chu Pinglin also reprimanded sharply, and threatened to drive out the clan if anyone made another wrong idea.

Chu Shouren and Kong almost died of anger.

It was a good idea to sell the maids of Sanfang to compensate Dalang for the loss. As a result, Fang Laoxiu just walked away, and the two old things changed their minds.

If he had known this earlier, he should have let Black Three take him away.

But thinking about it carefully, the reason why they didn't send people away at that meeting seemed to be because Fang Shengyu made trouble... So, did the Fang surname come here specifically to do right to them?
Chu Shouren and his wife were full of complaints, Chu Dalang saw it in his eyes and said lightly, just keep such words in your heart, don't say it out of your mouth, or your husband will find out, and his future will be really worrying.

So no matter how much dissatisfaction and complaints Chu Shouren and his wife had, they could only swallow them in their stomachs.

But the resentment did not dissipate, but shifted.

It turned to Chu Ning.

In fact, it is not appropriate to say transfer, because they were already annoyed by Chu Ning, but they were just hindering Chu Pinggui and Chu Pinglin, so they didn't dare to make up their minds to sell others for the time being.

But it also annoyed her even more because of this, even more than Chu Shouxin, the object of her anger.

Especially Kong Shi, simply hated her.

Although he was afraid of her brute strength and did not dare to attack her easily, but she had caught her, so he couldn't let it go.

She couldn't get the money, so she led the old Mrs. Chen out loudly, "Mother, this damn girl actually wants to hide money from her own house, and won't hand over money to the public if she has money."

Chu Ning was about to be laughed at by her, "What? You are only allowed to save some pocket money because your big house hides your private house? You have such a big face."

Speaking of Chu Dalang's private money, Mrs. Kong quietly went to see Mrs. Chen with a guilty conscience, and sure enough, she saw her wrinkled old face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Kong secretly thought it was not good.

She knew her mother-in-law's temper well, and knew that it was Chu Ning who poked at her sore spot and wanted to take her to the knife, so she quickly changed the subject and scolded Chu Ning, "What are you, how dare you talk to Da Lang?" Compare!"
