Quick Wear: The Gold Digger Was Influenced by Love Brain

Seeing Zhou Caixue's silence, Jiang Wan'er curled her lips into a bitter smile.

"I know places like brothels. Once you're sold in, it's not easy to redeem yourself. They want a lot of money, right?"

Zhou Caixue said, "Money is just a thing outside of one's body. As long as people confiscate it, it's fine. Don't think too much about it."

Jiang Wan'er pursed her lips and didn't continue speaking, but the aura around her became increasingly weak.

Zhou Caixue put down the lunch box and said, "You guys should eat here, or else it might be snatched away if you take it back."

Jiang Wan'er said, "I don't have much appetite, Qiao'er, you can eat it all."

Zhou Caixue said, "Even if you have no appetite, you still have to eat. Eat more so that you have strength. If Xu Qing is not a human being and bullies you while we are not around, you will be able to fight back."

She opened the lunch box.

"Grandma is worried that you won't have enough to eat, so she specially prepared some extra food for you. The portion is large. If you don't eat it, Qiao'er won't be able to finish it either. Do you want me to carry all this back?"

Hearing the word "mother-in-law" from her mouth, Jiang Wan'er frowned.

"She's kind now."

But wasn't what was happening to me now all caused by her?

If she had not sold herself to a man with children and whose wife had died in order to raise money for her father's education, she would not have ended up in this situation now, and she would not be unable to see the way forward like now.

Jiang Wan'er often wondered, what was the point of living like this?

If she hadn't been worried about Qiao'er, she might have taken her own life years ago.

She had been waiting, originally wanting to wait until Qiao'er got married. After Qiao'er was married, she could leave with peace of mind.

But now she really can't bear it anymore.

Zhou Caixue didn't know how to respond.

Regarding Jiang Wan'er's marriage, Yun's behavior was indeed not fair. If I were in his place, I would not be willing to accept his belated concern.

Jiang Wan'er didn't want to embarrass Zhou Caixue, so she ate the food she brought.

At night, after taking a shower, Zhou Caixue waited at the gate of the courtyard. After waiting for a long time, Jiang Xubai came back in the night.

She hurried to meet him.

"Why are you back so late today?"

Jiang Xubai said, "I wanted to make more money, so I stayed in the mountains for a while longer."

Zhou Caixue asked, "How much money did you make today?"

Jiang Xubai smiled, but the smile quickly disappeared from the corner of his lips.

"There will be more prey in the spring. I made 530 coins today."

Normally, I would earn between one hundred and two or three hundred coins a day, so today's income is actually a lot.

However, today is another day gone, and they only have two days left.

How can I collect one hundred and forty taels of silver in two days?

Zhou Caixue said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the Lin family tomorrow."

"If it doesn't work, let's sell the house in town."

Jiang Xubai remained silent.

Now he couldn't refuse any way to raise money.

Zhou Caixue advised, "Just do your best. We can pay you back slowly in the future. There is always a way out. Don't take the risk of going into the mountains."

Jiang Xubai's eyebrows twitched.

"it is good."

In fact, he had this idea today and wanted to go deeper inside to see if there were any larger prey.

However, he stopped when he thought about his wife worrying if he got hurt.

Let’s go in and take a look tomorrow.

I can't rely on my wife to borrow money from everywhere alone.

-

The next day, when Zhou Caixue woke up, Jiang Xubai had already left, even earlier than yesterday.

She sat on the bed for a while, sighed, got up, washed and dressed, put on the clothes that Lin Xiaonuo had prepared for her, then went to the village entrance, got on the ox cart and went to the town.

-

After hearing about Jiang Wan'er's experience, Lin Xiaonuo felt very sympathetic. Although she didn't have 140 taels of silver, she consoled her, "Cai Xue, don't worry. Don't you still have two days?"

"At worst I can ask my dad for it."

She took out her savings and said, "I'm a spendthrift. If I'd known I'd have to spend money earlier, I should have been more frugal. Now I only have 60 taels of silver. You can use it first. I'll find a way to spend the remaining 80 taels."

Zhou Caixue didn't refuse her.

"Then it's hard work for you."

Lin Xiaonuo smiled and said, "It's not that hard. At least I can ask my father for money. You... forget it, let's not talk about this for now. It's time for lunch. Let's stay and eat together."

After lunch.

Zhou Caixue was about to leave, but Lin Xiaonuo insisted that she stay, and the two of them chatted while strolling in the garden.

Lin Xiaonuo said, "You came at the right time. I was just thinking of finding some time to find you and tell you a good news. My marriage is settled and I will be getting married in three months."

Zhou Caixue was happy for her.

"That's great. You're getting married too. Where is your partner from?"

Lin Xiaonuo blushed shyly, which was rare.

"you know."

Zhou Caixue was stunned for a moment and guessed, "Could it be someone from Jiangjia Village?"

Lin Xiaonuo nodded.

"Yes."

"What a coincidence! My father hired someone to repair the pavilion, and the person who came was Jiang Huaili, whom I met once when I went to your house last time."

"Ever since I told my father that I wanted to find a son-in-law, he has been looking for a suitable candidate for me."

"After Jiang Huaili heard about it, he went to my father and said he was willing to be a son-in-law. My father agreed because he had a good character, was practical and capable, and had a handsome appearance."

Zhou Caixue raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Isn't it that simple?"

She knew her friends very well, and she wouldn't feel embarrassed if she just married someone randomly.

Lin Xiaonuo coughed lightly and said embarrassedly, "When I was flying a kite in the yard, it accidentally flew onto a tree. Jiang Huaili climbed up the tree to help me take the kite down. We became friends because of this, and after a few interactions, we became familiar with each other."

Zhou Caixue helped her translate and joked, "You two met while flying kites, so you must have developed feelings for each other after a while, right?"

Lin Xiaonuo threw the handkerchief at her arm in embarrassment.

"Why do you have to be so blunt? Can't you be a little more subtle and give me some face?"

Zhou Caixue said with a smile, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Besides, there are no outsiders here, so it's not okay to talk about some of my daughter's worries?"

The two talked and laughed until the afternoon, when Lin Xiaonuo insisted that Zhou Caixue stay for dinner before letting the family's driver take Zhou Caixue back to Jiangjia Village.

When Yun saw Zhou Caixue coming back, she hurried over to ask, "Did you borrow the money?"

Zhou Caixue said, "For now, I have only borrowed sixty taels of silver."

Yun looked worried.

"I have borrowed money from relatives and friends everywhere. I have borrowed 20 taels of silver in total, but I am still short of 60 taels of silver. The deadline is tomorrow. What should I do?"

Zhou Caixue said, "Xiao Nuo said that she would help me find a way to raise money, so don't worry too much."

Yun grabbed Zhou Caixue's hand and said gratefully, "I had a deep prejudice against you before, and I treated you badly. I didn't expect that at this moment, you would be willing to borrow money from your friends to save Wan'er. After this incident, I will definitely treat you as my own daughter in the future!"

"You are Wan'er's benefactor, and also my benefactor!"

Zhou Caixue didn't expect Yun to say this. She didn't know how to react and was extremely uncomfortable.

"This is what I should do."

"Where's my husband? Hasn't he come back yet?"
