The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 108: Getting the Materials
I stared at my brother's mouth, afraid that he would say something bad.
"Just say what you want to say. What could possibly happen to my Shuanzi?"
The uncle looked around and saw so many people around that he was embarrassed to say, "Let's go out."
If the eldest brother just snatched the bag away, I would have no place to complain. If the brother snatched the sister's things, other families would think he was just joking and no one would help.
For the safety of his things, he didn't care about face anymore. "Just say it here. It's not something shameful."
Boss Niu didn't care about it anymore. Getting the things was the most important thing. It wasn't a big deal to talk about it here. "Sister, do you know who Big Brother offended this time?"
Meiyu thought, it was just some soy milk, if she got an upset stomach after drinking it, who could she offend? Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, could it be related to Shuanzi's future? Could she have offended some big shot?
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his face, and he asked tremblingly, "Who... did I offend?"
The boss squatted down, lowered his head, and let out a long sigh.
This tone was like a heavy punch to Meiyu's heart, making it difficult for her to see clearly. "Why don't you speak quickly?"
The eldest brother said whatever he thought was the most serious. Miss Lin's sister might not take it seriously. The county magistrate was the highest official here. If he offended him, Shuanzi's future career would be affected.
Besides, the two families were relatives, so it was not too much to say that he had offended him, "I had offended the county magistrate."
Meiyu thought, what does the person you offend have to do with my son Shuanzi? At worst, she will stop associating with him and stop recognizing you as her brother.
The eldest brother saw what his sister was thinking and came up with a plan, "Have you ever heard of a punishment called collective punishment?"
How would Meiyu know about this? Why was there any punishment? This had nothing to do with her. She had never done anything against the law.
Shuanzi didn't have any either. My elder brother always kept people in suspense when he spoke, which really annoyed me. I blurted out, "I haven't heard of it."
Although I don't understand it very well, it is more than enough to fool my sister. I hope other people don't understand it either and don't expose me.
"Collective punishment means that if one person makes a mistake, the whole family, or even the whole clan, will suffer together."
"You've offended the county magistrate this time. Do you think you can stay out of it? It's very easy for the county magistrate to investigate a person. He must have checked his ancestors thoroughly."
"Do you think he doesn't know who Shuanzi is? You won't let him farm for the rest of his life. He must go to school in the future."
"When the time comes to take the imperial examination, the county magistrate will see that this person is the one from the Niu family who offended him. Even if he passes the exam, he can remove him without anyone noticing. Do you think it has nothing to do with you?"
Meiyu felt cold all over when she heard this. Shuanzi was definitely going to pursue a career in politics. He had already contacted a school and went to school to pass the imperial examinations. How could something like this happen to him?
I hate my elder brother so much. Why didn't I pinch off a piece of his flesh just now? It's really hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart.
The eldest brother looked up at his sister's eyes which were gradually turning bloodshot. He clenched his hands tightly, and his back teeth were almost broken. He looked as if he wanted to skin himself alive.
Fortunately, I didn’t go out and tell anyone just now. Now there are people around who can help me.
But my sister's behavior means there is a chance and the material will be in our hands soon, so I feel excited.
But I still acted as if I was embarrassed to say it but had to say it, as if I was doing it for your own good but was a little embarrassed.
Mei Yu was really furious. How could she have to deal with such a family member who always held her back? Not only herself, but even her son was dragged down. Why was her life so miserable?
I was about to beat my chest and cry, but after thinking for a moment, I realized that it was no use and forced myself to hold back the tears.
Since crying is useless, I should think of a solution. "Brother, do you have any good ideas?"
Finally, the boss said this, which meant that it was very likely that the matter would be successful. He suppressed his excitement and said, "There is a way, but... you may not be happy about it."
When Meiyu heard that there actually was a way, she thought it didn't matter whether she was willing or not, as long as Shuanzi wouldn't be implicated.
He will be the first scholar in his family and will definitely bring honor to the family. How can he let such a thing ruin his future?
"Brother, please tell me quickly. As long as it doesn't delay Shuanzi, I'm happy to do it."
Nier felt that her uncle was more suitable to be an actor than her master.
He doesn't dare to look up at others because of his own mistakes, and he is heartbroken that others cannot pursue a career in politics. Every expression is just right.
And he can speak so fluently, touch on people's pain points, and use the law to justify his actions.
It really scared people and made my aunt fall into the trap step by step. It was amazing.
"This man got a stomachache from drinking too much, which is not a big deal. It's just that the compensation is quite large. As long as the compensation is paid, the county magistrate will not pursue any further matters."
"It's not a big deal that someone has died. Just say some nice things and pretend it never happened. Don't you think so?"
Meiyu felt that what her brother said made sense. Having a stomachache was not a big deal, but since the county magistrate was involved, he must pay compensation, otherwise his son would be affected. "How much compensation do you want?"
The boss almost laughed out loud, but immediately lowered his head so that others wouldn't see his expression.
"It will take ten... twelve taels."
Meiyu thought that even if she sold those materials it would not be enough, and where could she get another two taels of silver?
No, my mother must have more money. I can't pay for it by myself. I estimate that my mother can come up with twelve taels of silver by herself. Is there a hidden reason? "Brother, why don't you let my mother take the money?"
The boss didn't want to elaborate, he just wanted to get the material quickly, he covered his face with both hands, rubbed his face back, "Alas~ I lost everything~"
It didn't specify who the compensation was to or how it would be paid, but just say that there was no money now.
Meiyu was shocked when she heard this. Oh my God, she had already paid so much in compensation and it was still not enough. The county magistrate was really asking for too much.
Wait, the third brother can lend him money, just sell the tables, chairs and donkey cart.
No, the eldest brother has ruined the third brother's reputation. If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to help. It is not clear whether Niu Li can go to school, but Shuanzi will definitely go to school, and he has to pay for it himself.
Forget it. For the sake of her son, she gritted her teeth, looked down, and was very reluctant to part with it. "Brother, these are all I have. You can take them to the town to exchange for some money."
The eldest brother stood up quickly, ignoring the dizziness, and thought about taking the bag. He tried once, but failed. The second time, he pulled the jade and stumbled before he got it.
He opened the bundle and counted them, confirming that there were five pieces of material. He grinned, with his gums clearly visible.
Meiyu's arms felt empty, and when she saw the bag was in her eldest brother's hands, she almost burst into tears, but she forced herself to hold back so as not to let others laugh at her.
