Agriculturist businesswoman reborn in the countryside

Chapter 73 Silver Hairpin (5)
"Oh, you mean silver hairpins?" The little apprentice thought for a while, and just as he was about to speak, a man in his fifties walked out of the room. The man was very thin, wearing a long gown It looked nondescript, and the squinted eyes were thin and long, falling on the person's body, making people extremely uncomfortable.

"Little girl, we have never been a silver hairpin here before. You must have misunderstood the place. You are not allowed to come here. Get out quickly." The man squinted his eyes as soon as he came out, and his voice sounded dry like Said hoarsely like a rice field that has not been irrigated by rain for many years.

Tang Mai frowned, what's going on?Could it be that they really planned to swallow her mother's silver hairpin?

Although the silver hairpin was worth a little money, it was only 50 taels at most. She brought 50 taels to redeem it this time. What do they mean by that?
"Uncle, this is a pawn ticket. My father was pawned here."

"What is the pawn ticket, show me." The man stretched out his hand to snatch the pawn ticket from Tang Mai's hand, but fortunately Tang Mai dodged it quickly, using the light work of a three-legged cat and quickly took two steps back, "Uncle , my father said, you take out the silver hairpin, so I can give this to you."

"You little girl, don't be ignorant of good and evil. If I say no, then there is no! Dazhu, hurry up and drive her out!"

"Ah?" Hearing this, the little apprentice was stunned for a moment. He clearly remembered that there was such a silver hairpin. It seemed that just a few days ago, the shopkeeper took out the silver hairpin. The smile there was very calculating.

"Ah what? I invite you back and pay you. I didn't want you to stand here in a daze. Why don't you drive me out quickly? Do you want to go home and farm for me immediately!"

"Uncle, you can't drive me out!" The more Tang Mai heard this, the more he felt that the shopkeeper was guilty, "My father asked me to take 50 taels of silver to redeem my mother's silver hairpin, and he was waiting for me outside. If you don't give it to me, Daddy will be angry!"

"Don't hurry up? Don't let this kind of person in in the future!" The shopkeeper heard Tang Mai say that Tang Yuanshan was outside, his heart skipped a beat, and he yelled at the little apprentice.

Tang Mai was kicked out, looking at the door that was closed with a bang, her brows became tighter and tighter, her mother's silver hairpin was not worth 50 taels, why did the shopkeeper of the pawnshop insist on occupying it instead of silver? Looking at her mother's silver hairpin, and still categorically denying the fact that the silver hairpin is here?
Inside the pawn shop, the shopkeeper saw that Tang Mai had been kicked out, so he left the room in a hurry, and took out Lian Xiulan's silver hairpin, and put it with the silver hairpin, and there was a notice on it that was exactly the same as the silver hairpin. The hairpin, the reward on it is 300 taels of silver.

The shopkeeper hid the silver hairpin and the notice like a treasure. If he hadn't seen this notice, how could he have given Tang Yuanshan 30 taels of silver?

He bullied Tang Yuanshan for being illiterate, and asked Tang Yuanshan to press his fingerprint on the pawn ticket that was due to die. Originally, when the time came next month, he could take the silver hairpin to receive the reward, and by the way, catch up with the person who issued the notice , Since then, the wealth has been abundant, but I didn't expect that at this time, the seemingly honest man would let a little girl of a few years old come to redeem this silver hairpin.

This is his guarantee of wealth in the future, how could it be possible for that little girl to really redeem him?
At this time, Tang Mai didn't know that what was really valuable was not her mother's silver hairpin, but the notice, the person who issued the notice.

Tang Mai didn't give up on this, she had to redeem her mother's silver hairpin no matter what, and it seemed that the shopkeeper didn't intend to give it back, so she could only ask Tian Feng and Li Lan for help. Feng can help her in any way, but the silver hairpin is to be taken back.

Tang Mai thought that he would not delay here, so he went to the landlord's house, found Li Lan, told Li Lan about the silver hairpin, and asked her for help.

Hearing Tang Mai's words, Li Lan immediately called Tian Feng.

Tian Feng took Tang Mai to that pawnshop again, but the pawnshop was closed. He asked people nearby, and someone said that Tang Mai had just left this morning, and the shopkeeper hurried out with his ox cart.

As for where, no one knows.

"Brother Tian, ​​that is my mother's most precious thing, you must help me get it back." If she can't even keep the silver hairpin that her mother cares about most, what is she talking about coming back to pay off the debt and protect the family?Is the shopkeeper crazy?Just to occupy her mother's silver hairpin, she closed the door and ran away.

"Mai'er, don't worry. How about this, I'll go back and talk to your sister Li first, and then tell your parents, I'll take you to the town to find your sister Li's father, your Uncle Li's family also runs a pawn shop, I'm sure you can I found it for you."

"it is good."

Tian Feng took Tang Mai back home, told Li Lan about it, and went to Tang's new house, but told Tang Yuanshan that Dr. Qian bought herbs from Tang Mai and wanted to thank Tang Mai in person. Mai went to town for a few days.

Hearing the words, Tang Yuanshan naturally agreed, and only told Tang Mai to be careful on the road.

After Tang Mai agreed, he followed Tian Feng and drove the ox cart towards the county town.

The county seat of Longlin County is much larger than the town where Tang Mai is located, and the clothes of passers-by are also of a higher level. When they arrived at the county seat, it was already night, but there were still many passers-by on the street. The development is also very magnificent, but now Tang Mai doesn't have the heart to pay attention to these things. Now her mind is full of her mother's most precious silver hairpin.

The bullock cart moved along the street, and many shops on both sides were still open for business. After a few streets, Tian Feng parked the bullock cart in front of a big house with two red lanterns hanging in front of the door.

"Mai'er, we're here." Tian Feng stopped the car, carried Tang Mai down, and said to Tang Mai.

Tang Mai stood at the door, looking at the high courtyard. This was the first time Tang Mai came to Shopkeeper Li's house. Looking at the courtyard, he thought to himself, Li Lan's family is really rich. She gave birth to a daughter, so she had to earn a lot of money in order to make her younger brother a future wife.

But yes, if you are not rich, how can you be so generous, and the shopkeeper Li's brother-in-law, Dr. Qian, also settles the money in one go every time.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law!" Tian Feng stood at the door and knocked, and soon someone opened the door, and the person who opened the door was a little girl dressed as a maid.

Tang Mai had met her before, she remembered that this little girl seemed to serve Li Xin, her name was Xiaohua.

"Young Master, you are here!" Xiaohua welcomed him in, and shouted towards the room, "Master, Madam, it is Uncle and Miss Maier who are here."

Shopkeeper Li quickly came out of the room to greet him. He was a little surprised to see that it was really Tang Mai. Behind Shopkeeper Li was a middle-aged woman of medium build. The temperament makes people like it.
