Chapter 21: Paying back debts is a matter of course
After all, she was the woman who gave birth to his son, so Qin Guangjin still had some true feelings for Qin Wan.
?
Seeing that she had given in, his tone softened. "I still have some private money. I'll go get it later. Let's leave Yangzhou and find a quiet place to stay first. The most important thing is to heal Shou'er's injury."
?
"Other things...we'll talk about them later."
?
Hearing that Qin Guangjin had a private room, Qin Wan's face looked much better. She sat down beside the bed and fed Qin Shou medicine.
?
Most of Qin Guangjin's private savings were used up by Qin Wan and her son.
?
The remaining two thousand taels were originally intended for Qin Shou to take with him to make connections when he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. They were hidden in the hole of a crooked tree behind the silver shop he was in charge of before.
?
The alley is lined with backyards of shops on both sides and is very narrow. Usually, there are very few people walking around, so it is the safest to hide here.
?
After dark, Qin Guangjin secretly took out the silver.
?
The heavy weight on the shoulders makes people feel particularly at ease.
?
Two thousand taels is not a lot, but it is not too little either. I can buy a small house in a small town and live there. I will have no problem living comfortably for three to five years.
?
Thirty or five years later, Qin Shou passed the imperial examination and became an official. He would be an old man, so why would he worry about not having money?
?
Qin Guangjin imagined a wonderful life and didn't feel tired even with the weight of dozens of kilograms on his shoulders.
?
Seeing that they were just around the corner to the inn, Qin Guangjin stopped and carried the silver on his other shoulder. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and knew something was wrong. He wanted to call for help, but it was too late. He fell to the ground with his eyes black.
?
I don't know how long it was before I was awakened by the cold wind. My first thought was to check if the silver was still there. But where could I find it? Even my clothes were stripped off.
?
Qin Guangjin fell to the ground, slapping his thigh and crying, "Oh my God! How can I live like this?" His tone was almost exactly the same as Qin Wan's when she was throwing a tantrum, and it sounded particularly miserable in the middle of the night.
?
When Qin Wan heard that the silver had been robbed, she jumped up and down and cursed, and urged Qin Guang to go in and report to the police.
?
Qin Shou growled with a gloomy face, "That's enough. You are an old man, can you use your brain a little?"
?
"How could these robbers come out of nowhere? They were clearly sent by the Xie family to make things difficult for us. If we report this to the authorities, how can we explain the origin of the silver?"
?
"On the contrary, the Xie family will catch my father stealing the Xie family's money and use it as an excuse to bite us back."
?
Qin Wan felt extremely distressed when she thought about the silver being gone. She did not dare to refute Qin Shou and whispered, "That's two thousand taels, two thousand taels! Could it be that the Xie family just took it away for nothing?"
?
"Without money, what will we eat, drink and live in?"
?
"Oh my, this life is unbearable."
?
Even though she had no money, she still had people. So the next morning, Qin Wan dressed up and went to the river.
?
He came back at dusk, bringing with him several handfuls of copper coins.
?
Qin Guangjin had been hungry all day, so he didn't ask where the copper coins came from and went out to buy some food.
?
With Qin Wan's diligence, she could save some money for a few days and rent a small house and live a comfortable life.
?
A few days later, Qin Wan fell ill. A rash appeared on her body, which looked neither like a rash nor like mosquito bites. If you scratched them accidentally, pus would ooze out.
?
Qin Wan was careless and didn't take it seriously at first. She just thought that the place where she could make money was close to the water, and thought that maybe she was bitten by some poisonous insect. She found some mugwort, boiled it in water, and washed her face twice.
?
But it didn't get better, and gradually the ulcer even spread to the base of the thighs.
?
Qin Wan then realized she was scared and took off her pants to show Qin Guangjin.
?
Qin Guangjin was startled, covering his mouth and nose and taking several steps back. "You have syphilis, stay away from me and Shou'er, or you'll die if you get infected."
?
Qin Wan was so scared that she burst into tears. Qin Guangjin endured the nausea and coaxed her, "I'll go find some medicine for you, it's not a big deal." But he stayed far away and refused to come closer.
?
You have to make money even if you are sick, otherwise you will starve to death.
?
Qin Wan was afraid that her patron would discover her illness, so she changed the time she made money to the evening.
?
A few days later, her patron, who had been infected with a dirty disease by her, came to the inn and dragged her out onto the street by her hair.
?
"You damn whore, you have a dirty disease and you still dare to make money from me. You've killed me."
?
Qin Wan was beaten beyond recognition by a barrage of punches and kicks, and rolled on the ground howling until her throat was hoarse. Qin Guangjin and Qin Shou hid in the room without showing their faces, and did not dare to say a word to help her.
?
It was the innkeeper who saw that Qin Wan was about to be beaten to death, and it was unlucky to cause a death at the door of the inn, so he took the waiter forward to persuade the patron to stay.
?
The patron was still not satisfied and demanded compensation from Qin Wan. Qin Wan was afraid of being beaten again, so she paid out all the valuables in the room, and the patron left.
?
When the guests of the inn heard that Qin Wan had contracted a serious illness, they accused her of not caring about other people's lives and demanded that the innkeeper kick her out, otherwise all the guests would have to cancel their lease.
?
Naturally, the innkeeper didn't dare to let Qin Wan stay in the inn any longer. He said a few polite words but drove the three people out in a very firm attitude.
?
One of the three was injured and one was sick. They were penniless and even their only way to make money was cut off.
?
He could only pawn the pair of silver earrings on Qin Wan's ears for a few hundred copper coins and rent a small house of less than 20 square meters under the south city wall to live in.
?
Qin Wan didn't dare go out to earn money from her patrons anymore, and could only rely on washing clothes for others to earn a few copper coins to buy rice.
?
The three of them were used to a good life, but now they were living in a dark and damp adobe house that had never seen sunlight for years. They had brown rice porridge with pickled cabbage for three meals a day. Especially since Qin Shou's injuries had not healed yet and they had no money to see a doctor or get medicine, they could only bear it. They really felt like each day was a year.
?
After Fang Cheng reported to Xie Liuzheng about the current situation of Qin Guangjin and the other two, Xie Liuzheng shook his head and sighed, "How pitiful." But she did not feel any sympathy in her heart.
?
Compared to the suffering that he and his mother had endured in his previous life, what was the suffering that Qin Guangjin and the other two had endured? It was just a drop in the bucket.
?
"You did a good job on this matter. Go and ask the butler for your reward."
?
Fang Cheng bowed to express his gratitude and slowly walked out of the room.
?
Xie Liuzheng called Fang Cheng through the window, "Remember to send that benefactor to Yangzhou."
?
Fang Cheng did not tell Xie Liuzheng that it was he who arranged the patron who caused trouble at the inn, for fear of polluting her ears, and even more afraid that she would blame him for doing things unscrupulously.
?
Unexpectedly, Xie Liuzheng guessed it.
?
Fang Cheng's heart tightened and he wanted to explain, but Xie Liuzheng seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said calmly: "Speak differently to different people and different things to different people. The same applies to doing things. I only look at the results."
?
Fang Cheng felt relieved and at the same time, he became even more in awe of Xie Liuzheng.
?
Only those who are decisive and ruthless can accomplish great things. It seems that I have followed the right person.
?
Xie Liuzheng felt relieved when she knew that Qin Guangjin and the other two were not doing well. She was in a good mood and called the maid to go out.
?
Xie Xiangyu handed over the silver shop that Qin Guangjin had previously been in charge of to her, and put her in full charge, saying that it was to give her some practice, and that the business would gradually be handed over to her in the future.
?
It was only when Xie Liuzheng really got involved in the business that he realized how complicated it was. He spent most of the past few days in the jewelry store.
