pastoral wedding

Chapter 139
After a few days of peaceful days, another accident happened at home.Originally, Su Jin was also thinking about this matter. Since the second uncle came to Suzaku City, he must have been too honest and responsible. This is not his character.Who would have thought that just now, seeing Sangu Su Cui rushing into the mansion, first went to see Mrs. Liu, and then the two of them went straight to her yard.

"Jin'er, get up quickly, something happened to your second uncle."

Su Jin and Liu Ya'er played chess last night, you win a game and I win a game, but neither of them is willing to admit defeat, so they just lie down until midnight, so it's hard to get up this early in the morning Come, she was dragged off the bed by Mrs. Liu, but fortunately there was a cold wind today, so Da He went to see Steward Wen early in the morning to get the silver frost charcoal for the masters, lit the stove, Otherwise, Su Jin would never have gotten up so quickly.

"What's wrong with Second Uncle?" Su Jin yawned and drank the hot porridge brought by Liuli, "What can happen to him?"

"You child," said Liu, who had already turned around in a hurry, seeing her so calmly, "Your second uncle was taken away by the people from the gambling house!"

Su Jin was still extremely calm, "If you take it away, you can take it away. Even if he doesn't have money in his hands, he still gambles every day. It will be a matter of time before he is caught. After scaring him, he will take the money to take it away." He redeemed it."

"My little ancestor, do you know how much money your second uncle owes the gambling house this time?" Liu stamped anxiously.

Before Su Jin asked, Su Cui stretched out a finger aside, "1 taels!"

"1 taels?" Su Jin was dumbfounded, and didn't care about drinking the porridge. She stood up hurriedly and was about to go out. Liu Shi grabbed her, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, mother, let go, I'll go to my father to discuss countermeasures," Su Jin broke free from her mother's hand and hurried out, Da He hurriedly followed with her cloak, unexpectedly Su Jin walked to the door and folded back, "Mother , How much money does our family have now?"

Mrs. Liu has always been in charge of the accounts, so she opened her mouth and said, "There are only three or four thousand taels of silver, and there is also the silver that your father wants to buy."

"I remember that a batch of goods from Guazi Workshop was delivered to the capital two months ago, Sangu, how much did it cost?" Su Jin immediately targeted Su Cui.

"2000 taels." Su Cui hurriedly said, "Our family can share 1000 taels, but our second son-in-law didn't send someone to send over the money. He only said that we will settle it together after this year's melon seeds are delivered. Now that he and Miss Shuang have gone to the Jianghang area, even if they urge to ask for it, they probably won’t dare to make decisions there.”

"I see," Su Jin nodded, "Third Aunt, go back and call Second Aunt first, I'll go and find my father, let's ask about the specific situation before we can make a plan." .

When Mrs. Lu arrived, Su Wenshan, Mrs. Liu, Su Jin, Jiang Run, and Liu Ya'er were already waiting, "What's going on? Why do you owe so much money?" Su Wenshan Ask right away.

When Xiao Lu saw that he had lost his temper, she shivered in fright. After looking at him again, she stammered and said: "A few days ago, the moon silver was issued, and he said that he wanted to gamble with itchy hands. I stopped him." If he was not allowed to go, he said that if he went out to earn money, he would... buy me a gold hairpin, and I... I agreed. Unexpectedly, he never came back after this trip. At first I thought he was gambling He became addicted, and he came back after earning money or losing it all. Unexpectedly, he didn't come back for two days, so I asked Cui Niang to discuss it. We were in a hurry, and someone came from the gambling shop over there, saying that he owed it. 1 taels of silver, if you don’t pay within three days, then… cut off one of his fingers, and if you don’t pay within five days, you’ll kill him!” He wiped away his tears.

"I know how to cry, I know why I'm crying now, it's okay if you stopped him at that time, I know how to be greedy, you say, let us get the 1 taels of silver there ?" Liu interrupted her crying impatiently, and yelled at her angrily.

"How come you don't even have 1 taels? Look at your big business. I can see that not only 1 taels, but also 3 taels and 5 taels. Big brother, don't you be so If you think she wants too much, you can ignore her father, right?"

Even Su Wenshan slapped the table angrily, "Look at me, I have 3 taels to 5 taels, but you don't know the difficulty of earning money. It's not 300 taels or 500 taels, even if it's 3000 taels or 5000 taels, I'll take it." I can figure it out, but the 1 taels is really embarrassing for me, if you think it’s not much, you can take it yourself!”

Only then did Xiao Lu realize that Da Fang couldn't come up with so much money, and she became anxious, "Then what should I do, if someone really chops off his finger, what's the use of it?"

"Shut up!" Liu Shi was annoyed, "Don't cry, let him and his father discuss it and see if there is any way."

Su Wenshan talked for a while, then turned to look at Jiang Run, "How much cash do we have on the cabinet now?"

"Uncle Su, we originally had more than 2000 taels of silver in the cabinet, but two days ago, we took 1000 taels to go to the government, and took 500 taels to buy rice grains. Now there are only 500 taels left." Jiang Run said I remember everything in the account clearly.

"500 taels, the savings at home are more than 3000 taels, plus the profit of 800 taels from the tofu workshop, and 600 taels from the melon seed workshop, the total is only 5000 taels." Su Zhen quickly calculated the total, " This is only half, where do I get the other half?"

"How about this, I'll go to the gambling shop first to see that Wen Hai is safe and sound. Jin'er, why don't you go to Zi Cheng's and see if you can borrow some for urgent use?" Su Wenshan considered said.

Su Jin shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "Father, you haven't noticed that Han Zicheng hasn't come to our house in the past few days. He has gone back to Qingshi Town. I don't know when he will come back. He is not here. The shopkeeper in his shop must not He lent us money."

"Then go find Miss Tang, her family is not short of money, right?" Mrs. Lu came up with what she thought was a good idea, but was rejected by Mrs. Liu and Su Jin at the same time. Su Jin even gave her a glare. "Don't think about my eldest sister. When the second sister got married, she already took out a lot of money. How can I get money now? You will be implicated in our family?"

"What are you doing with being so stingy!" Xiao Lu said unwillingly.

Su Cui couldn't stand it any longer, and glared at her, "No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak. Pay back the loan. What are you going to pay back after borrowing it?"

return?Xiao Lu shrank her neck and stopped talking, she never thought about paying back the money at all!

According to the agreement, Su Wenshan first went to the casino to negotiate to see Su Wenhai's situation. Su Jin was worried, so she changed into men's clothes and followed with Liuli.The Shunfeng Gambling Workshop Xiao Lu mentioned is in Jucheng District, which is the site of the Ju family. Although the Ju family belongs to the four major families of Suzaku City, like the Mei family, the Lan family and the Zhu family, compared with the other three families, this The Ju family is the least respected. The reason is that most of the Ju family's business is underground business, which is not visible, such as gambling houses, brothels and the like. As for what else is in private, it is unknown.

Su Wenshan took Jiang Run, Su Jin and Liuli to make money in Jucheng District, and wanted to find someone to inquire about this Shunfeng Casino, but those people shook their heads when they heard the words Shunfeng Casino, and refused to do anything. explain.The four of them were worrying when suddenly a beggar bumped into them, followed by people chasing and beating them, shouting to catch the thief.Su Jin grabbed him, and wanted to hand it over to the people behind, but who would have lowered his head to realize that this beggar was actually one of the two beggars who took the lead in making trouble when Su Ji Restaurant first opened, looking at him with begging eyes , Su Jin immediately hid him behind him.

When the person chasing him ran far away, Su Jin reached out and grabbed his ear, "Stealing things, right? I told you not to learn well!"

"What do you know, I'm hungry, otherwise who would want to steal something! Let go of me, it hurts like hell!" The little beggar bared his teeth in pain, Su Jin was embarrassed to twist again after hearing this, and let go, But he refused to let him go, "Let me ask you, do you know Shunfeng Casino?"

The little beggar tilted his head to look at her, "Why are you asking this?"

"Where is Shunfeng Casino? Who is the owner? Tell me I have something urgent." Su Jin patted the back of his head, "Don't tell me you don't know."

"I really don't know." Seeing that Su Jin let go, the little beggar turned around and was about to run, but Liuli, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, brought him back. Su Jin rewarded him with a chestnut, "You have been on the street for so long Now, don’t you know? If you tell me, I’ll let you go home with me and have enough food every day, okay?”

"Go home with you?" The little beggar looked at her in surprise, "Can I have enough food every day?"

"Of course it's true, I won't lie to you, tell me quickly." Su Jin used threats and temptations, because she knew that this guy must know the background of Shunfeng Casino.

The little beggar thought for a while and then said: "This Shunfeng Gambling Workshop is the property of the Ju family, and the owner is the young master of the Ju family. Then the young master Ju is not easy to mess with. He is notoriously cruel and merciless, and he has done many harmful things behind his back. If you want to trouble the Ju family, I advise you to forget it, I heard that there are people in his family."

Hearing the news, Su Jin frowned first. If it was okay to talk about the other family, but it was the Ju family, the Ju family must not be messed with. The 1 taels of silver seemed not to be discounted.Su Wenshan also said after hearing the words: "Whether the Ju family deliberately framed it, or your second uncle asked for it, we are afraid that we will have to spend some money, Jin'er, let's go see the young master of the Ju family, and look at you Second uncle is urgent."

Su Jin nodded, turned around and patted the little beggar on the shoulder, "What's your name? How old are you?"

"My name is Dou Zi. I'm ten years old. Will you take me back to your house?"

"Success, but can you take us to Shunfeng Casino first, and then I will take you home with me. Our family owns a restaurant, and we have all kinds of delicious food, how about it?" See, Su Jin has to be said to be a big bad wolf who seduces lambs, but she doesn't realize it, and she is very proud.

The little beggar is naturally willing. He has no home and no relatives. Whoever has wandered outside for a long time does not want to have a home, let alone a child who is only ten years old, and he hopes to be loved by others, not to mention that he believes in Su Jin. , because she didn't lie to him last time.
