Chapter 197 Madam Sun's Trouble
After Jiang Yuwei sat down reluctantly, she saw that Granny Sun's expression had calmed down a lot.
"Well, my eldest wife, how much silver do you think is appropriate? Just give me a straight answer!"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Daya with disdain, then looked into Grandma Sun's eyes and said:
"Two taels of silver."
Granny Sun hesitated and said:
"Isn't two taels a bit too little..."
Jiang Yuwei immediately stood up and stretched out her hand in front of Grandma Sun.
"Pay back the money!"
Seeing this, Granny Sun hurriedly pushed Jiang Yuwei back onto the chair.
"Come on, why are you in such a hurry? I have never sold anyone before, so I asked a few more questions, right?"
Jiang Yuwei pouted and pointed at Ning Daya and said:
"Have you never eaten pork, or seen a pig run? This girl is selling for only one or two taels of silver! You feel you are losing money and don't want to sell it, but I don't want to buy it either, so just pay me back as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Granny Sun glared at Ning Daya and said through gritted teeth:
"Sell it, I'll sell it, two taels is two taels!"
Seeing that Mrs. Sun agreed, Jiang Yuwei took out a pen and paper from her bosom, wrote a contract of sale, asked Mrs. Sun and Ning Daya to sign it, and signed her name on it as well. Then she took out two taels of silver that she had prepared long ago from her purse and handed it to Mrs. Sun.
"Now we don't owe each other anything!"
As soon as Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, she stood up and was about to take Ning Daya away, only to see Granny Sun suddenly kick Ning Daya in the stomach and curse:
"You are such a jinx, you are only worth two taels of silver. Pah, I have raised you for nothing for so many years!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly pushed Granny Sun away and said angrily:
"Now Daya is mine. If you touch her again, you have nothing to do with her now. Do you understand? You old bitch, if you dare to be dishonest again, I will slap you to death!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei took Ning Daya's hand and said domineeringly:
"Come on, Daya, let's go home!"
Ning Daya looked back at the angry Grandma Sun, and followed Jiang Yuwei out of the yard. As soon as they got out, Jiang Yuwei took Ning Daya's hand and asked with concern:
"Daya, are you okay? Did I hurt you just now?"
Ning Daya had tears in her eyes, and she looked at Jiang Yuwei gratefully and smiled:
"Sister Yuwei, I'm not hurt, thank you. I know you are doing this for my own good. If it weren't for the drama we just performed, I'm afraid my grandma wouldn't let me go so easily."
Jiang Yuwei patted Ning Daya's hand and said:
"Just don't blame me."
The two held hands and returned to the courtyard. Jiang Yuwei went to the backyard and saw Tiezhu and Ning Wu busy making the remaining paper, so she said:
"When you finish your work today, go back early and dig a few traps outside your house. This way it will be safer. Got it?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded and quickened their hands. Jiang Yuwei thought for a moment and continued:
"If there really comes a day when we want to escape, we must have an ox cart. Tiezhu, if your family has some spare money, go to town and drive an ox cart back in the next few days. If you don't have enough money, tell me."
Jiang Yuwei said as she lowered her head and looked at Zhang Tianhe who was making a fire.
"Tianhe, you should also go back and discuss it with your wife. Your family needs the ox cart the most. After all, you have a child. Don't be reluctant to use it now. When the time comes, we will have an ox cart to carry some food and bedding, which will be convenient for us when we are on the road."
Zhang Tianhe felt that what Jiang Yuwei said was indeed reasonable, and nodded quickly:
"Okay, Sister Yuwei, I will go back tonight and discuss it with my wife and the others."
Seeing that everyone was busy working, Jiang Yuwei didn't disturb them. She went to the front yard and began to knead dough, make pancakes and prepare dry food. Jiang Yuwei planned to use up all the flour at home and make dry food to store in the space.
If one is really forced to flee, it would be most convenient to take it out and eat it while on the road. Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei made a lot of pickled vegetables to eat with the cakes.
Jiang Yuwei planned to go to the town tomorrow to buy more rice, flour, grain and oil and store them in the space, so that she would be prepared for any eventuality. Even if she had to flee temporarily, she could ensure that everyone would have something to eat on the road.
After Jiang Yuwei finished her busy work, she fell into a deep sleep.
next day
Jiang Yuwei was planning to go to the town to do some shopping today, and was also planning to go to the Sun Mansion to discuss some matters with Sun Yuanwai, so she followed Ning Huaizhi's carriage to the town early in the morning.
Jiang Yuwei didn't have time to take care of the things in the shop at the moment, so she handed over everything to Ning Huaizhi to manage. She drove the ox cart to the Sun Mansion first.
This time, the gatekeeper boy was sensible. He knew that the old lady in the mansion adopted Jiang Yuwei as her goddaughter on the day of the birthday banquet. Although they didn't know what abilities she had to please the old lady, the servants and maids showed Jiang Yuwei due respect and courtesy on the surface.
The servant brought Jiang Yuwei directly into the mansion. At that moment, Mr. Sun was paying his respects to the old lady at her residence, so the servant took Jiang Yuwei directly to the old lady.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei entered the room, she bowed and greeted the old lady. When the old lady saw that it was Jiang Yuwei who came, she was also very enthusiastic and hurriedly invited her to come in front of her to chat.
"Yuwei, I haven't seen you and Wan'er for a few days, and I miss you so much. I heard from your second brother that you opened a new shop on North Street. Look at me, I'm an old man, and I can't go to your shop to show my support."
Jiang Yuwei took the old lady's hand and said with a smile:
"It's enough that godmother cares about me. It's my ignorance that I waited so long to come and see you."
The old lady laughed and said:
"I'm an old woman now, it doesn't matter whether I read it or not. You guys are young, making money is important, making money is important. Hey, why didn't you bring Wan'er with you to have some fun today?"
Jiang Yuwei shook her head helplessly:
"My shop can't do without Wan'er, the little smart girl. She is helping with the work in the shop. I didn't dare tell her that I would come to see you today. If she knew, she would insist on coming to see you. I'm afraid she would disturb your peace."
The old lady glared at Jiang Yuwei in a reproachful manner.
"You said that, kid, I wish Wan'er could come to accompany me. You must bring Wan'er with you next time."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded.
"My daughter was wrong. I will bring her to see you next time."
Jiang Yuwei turned her head and looked at Mr. Sun who was standing beside her and said:
"Actually, I came here today because I want to ask my second brother for help with something."
Before Mr. Sun could speak, Madam Sun, who was standing beside him with a look of disgust, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said:
"Sister Yuwei, you are busy with so many things and you can never finish helping them. Right now, our Sun Mansion has made you a good helper. A few days ago, in order to help you establish a reputation, our master specially swallowed his pride and asked the county magistrate to support your small shop. You came here today to ask us for help again. What do you think..."
