Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

After eating two vegetables with white rice on a table at noon, Qiao Shi looked at Ruan Siyi and seemed to turn calm.

After dinner, Mrs. Qiao discussed with him to sell the house. Anyway, there are few people now, so let's move to a smaller house. Ruan Siyi had no objection to this, and nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon when Ruan Siyi went out to sell the house, Mrs. Qiao was worried that Mama Chen would follow her.

When the two came back in the evening, the house was not sold.

Naturally, such a large house cannot be sold in a short time, especially since the asking price is high and no one cares about it. After going out for two days, they failed to sell it. On the third day, someone offered 1,500 taels of silver to buy it.

Ruan Siyi did not agree. The market price of this house is around 2,500 taels, and the lowest target price in his heart is 2,000 taels, and 1,500 taels would be a huge loss.

There was no ink mark on the man, so he turned and left. Ruan Siyi was a little anxious, but because of face, Chen's mother chased after her and talked with her. After several rounds of bargaining, she finally settled on 1,800 taels.

Looking at the sun that had already set in the west, thinking that tomorrow would be the time to pay back the money, Ruan Siyi reluctantly agreed.

Going to the government with that person to go through various formalities, Ruan Siyi took 1,800 taels of silver and left the Yamen. When passing by a restaurant, he thought that his family had eaten rough meals for many days, so he went in and ordered a table.

When paying the silver, I paid more than forty taels. Mother Chen wanted to say something, but she stopped talking.

Ruan Siyi returned to the house and told Qiao's house that it was sold for 1,800 taels, and agreed with the buyer to move in three days, and they will be looking for a house in the next two days.

Mrs. Qiao nodded, and at this moment the person who delivered the noodles came.

Seeing a large table full of seats and asking how much it was, Mrs. Qiao frowned, but said nothing.

"It's too simple to eat at home these days." Ruan Siyi picked up the chopsticks, without looking at Mrs. Qiao, "Eat more."

Qiao's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head to eat.

On the second day, the group of people from the gambling house came again, but this time they said that 1,500 taels was not enough, and they wanted 1,800 taels.

Ruan Siyi quarreled with them no matter how decent he was, the group of big men surrounded him and knocked Ruan Siyi to the ground.

Qiao Shi was so scared that she screamed and cried, and took out all the bank notes to them. After that, she pulled out a few hairpins from her head and threw them over.

With a bruised nose and swollen face, Ruan Siyi yelled, "Why did you give them all the money? They're blackmailing."

Qiao sobbed softly, "What would happen if you were beaten by them? What should you do? Money is not important to anyone..."

Now all the money has been given to others, and they have to move out after three days, but they don't even have the money to buy a house.

Ruan Siyi was sitting in the house, listening to Mrs. Qiao chatting outside and discussing with Chen's mother.

"... Now is not the time to be decent. Mom, you and Chuntao will help pawn all my jewelry tomorrow, and then buy a smaller house. There are only four people in our family, and it is enough for us to live in." .”

"Ma'am, you only have a few pieces of jewelry..."

Qiao Shi was silent for a while, and said, "Now there is no way..."

"... Ma'am, you shouldn't have used your dowry to subsidize the expenses in the yard, but now you don't even have any self-esteem..."

"...Okay, it's too late now, you can go with Chuntao later, see how much money you can get together, and then think about what to do next..."

"...How about Madam go back and beg Master..."

Qiao cried a few times sadly, and sobbed: "Father said he won't recognize me, unless I make peace with him..."

The voices outside gradually fell silent, but Ruan Siyi was on the verge of going crazy...

What is going on in this world? !
