Chapter 218: The Three Dirty Hooligans
Seeing these people, Ling Yin's face looked a little unnatural, and Ling Xiao also frowned.
"Don't worry, Uncle Shi, our family is working hard to make money and we will definitely pay you back."
The young one looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a long face, three white eyes, and a sunken face like a shoe handle, making him look silly.
He touched his chin and looked at Ling Yin, unwilling to take his eyes off her face for a moment.
It's like looking at one of your own possessions.
Ling Yin pursed her lips and turned her face away.
"Fifty taels! Just with the cabbage you guys sell and the handicraft your father does, it'll probably take three years, even three months, to pay it back." Shi Lao Er, who had just spoken, was practically convinced of the fact: "When the time comes, your family will just have to accept the compensation."
"That's impossible. Our family will definitely raise enough money, even if we can't sell enough." Ling Yin said firmly.
"Yes, our family will definitely be able to raise enough money. We will never let you succeed." Ling Xiao was small, with his head held high, full of confidence.
The other fatter man was Shi Lao San, who had a string of beads on his hand and a naturally sinister face. "Oh, you little brat, you haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you don't know how hard it is for adults to make money, yet you're talking nonsense. Who dares to lend you so much money? When will you pay it back?"
"Now all your relatives are avoiding you as if you were the plague. They avoid you as much as possible. Aren't they worried about you borrowing money?"
"I see that by then, all your relatives will have to close the door quickly. Rather than embarrassing yourself in front of the whole village, it's better to agree to it and save yourself so much trouble."
Shi Lao Er's rough tone seemed very straightforward: "Just think of it as our family spending fifty taels to marry you. In these ten miles or so villages, no other girl has such a large betrothal gift as you. Telling others about it will bring you honor."
"There's no way I'll agree to it, and my family won't agree to it either." Ling Yin said word by word.
"Uncle Shi, the time hasn't come yet. Our family is still raising money. I hope you won't say these words anymore. I believe there is always a way out."
Ling Yin's face had turned blue.
She even suspected that these people appeared here to persuade her.
Seeing her determination, the three men's faces changed, and even the fool twisted his body and stomped his feet.
"Humph, Dad, Yin girl doesn't want to marry me, she's so mean."
"Girl, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Nod your head and agree quickly. Once the two families have arranged the marriage, our family will feel at ease, and your family won't have to work so hard. Second uncle's family is not poor, they don't owe you anything. Your country brother is a little stupid, but fools have luck. You will never suffer any loss in your life if you follow him." Shi Lao Er said seriously.
When Shi Zhenxiang heard this, he quickly nodded to Ling Yin: "Yes, yes, Yin girl, please agree quickly. I want to marry Yin girl and have children with Yin girl."
When he mentioned the word "giving birth to a child", he put on a lewd smile, and drool flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Ling Yin almost vomited.
Ling Xiao was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but was stopped by Ling Yin.
She also wanted to deal with these three people, but how could they be their match?
Her stomach was churning and Ling Yin's face turned the color of liver.
She is now anxious to leave here and get rid of these three people as soon as possible. She still has her parents and uncles at home. Everyone is afraid that they will borrow money, but they will not stand for outsiders to be so arrogant.
Hearing the sound of a carriage approaching, he looked up and saw Qiao Jianer.
Ling Yin seemed to have seen a savior, her eyes lit up, and she waved at Qiao Jianer.
While pulling his brother to the side of the road.
The three people followed. They also wanted to go to the county town to buy things and give Ling Yin a lecture, so two more people came.
Seeing that they seemed to be arguing just now, Qiao Jianer slowed down the carriage, pricked up his ears, and listened to what they said.
I got some key information: Ling Yin's family owed money, fifty taels.
This amount of money is a huge sum of money in the village.
She thought to herself, given the character of Ling Yin's family, it is impossible for them to borrow so much money from others. Is there any reason behind this?
And looking at these people, they don’t look like good people at all.
Qiao Jianer stopped the carriage and signaled the brother and sister to get in quickly with her eyes.
The two men almost ran into the carriage.
The three men also wanted to catch up, but Qiao Jianer flicked the reins and the carriage drove away.
"Hey, little girl, we are going to the county town too. We haven't gotten on the carriage yet." Shi Lao San was stunned and stopped counting the beads in his hand.
"Oh, you guys wait for the next one." Qiao Jianer's cool voice came.
"Oh, this, she hasn't given us a ride yet, what's the grudge she has against us?" Shi Lao San couldn't figure it out: "Second brother, do we know this girl?"
Who would leave the car money unprofitable?
"They don't know each other. They are just two girls going to the county town. Maybe they don't feel comfortable letting a man get in the car." Shi Laoer didn't think much about it.
What he cared about was whether Ling Yin and Shi Zhenxiang's marriage could go as expected.
This girl is not very pretty, but she has a decent appearance, is strong and capable, and is very skillful. Marrying her into the family will make her a good helper. Shi Zhenxiang is a fool, and having such a wife can share a lot of his hard work.
So, Shi Lao Er decided on this daughter-in-law.
Besides, who told Ling Lao San to be so blind and cause such trouble?
He had hit a spider web.
However, this girl has a stubborn temper, so she needs to be taught a lesson when she comes in.
Like a she-wolf, pull out her teeth.
"Dad, I want to marry Yin girl, I want to marry Yin girl." Shi Zhenxiang stamped his feet and pouted.
Not to mention outsiders, even his father found it difficult to look him in the face.
She turned her face slightly away and said, "Don't worry, there's no way their family can come up with that amount. When the time comes, they'll have to marry Yin to you."
"I want to have a baby with Yin Yatou, I want to have a baby with Yin Yatou."
Shi Zhenxiang was so happy that he spun around in circles.
Sitting in the carriage, Ling Yin couldn't calm down for a long time. It was not just that the people of the Shi family were disgusting, but the Qiao Lianer sister must have heard what the Shi family said just now.
She was now on pins and needles, feeling uneasy all over.
However, Qiao Jianer didn't ask any questions along the way and sent the brother and sister all the way to the West Street Tile Market.
The brother and sister each carried a large jar on their backs and held a dismantled wooden stall.
"Thank you, sister Jianer. I'm glad to meet you."
Ling Yin wanted to give her money, but Qiao Jianer pushed her hand back: "I'm just giving you a ride. If you pay me, I'll really become a coachman."
It was originally a joke, but Ling Yin couldn't laugh.
"Sister Jian'er, just now——"
"I didn't see anything, and I won't tell my family. You take care of your own business."
Qiao Jianer heard that if she could collect enough money, she could get rid of that family, but this required Ling Yin's own efforts.
She also couldn't imagine that if Ling Yin married that stupid man, her life would be ruined.
