Yipin Farmer

Hearing what she said, Ting Shuang finally cried out, "It's all my fault..."

"If you don't do your business, it's hard to predict the merciless situation. It's common for banks and money shops to go bankrupt. Who would have thought that the magistrate would also fall into ruin? It's not our family who deposits money in his house, which is also unexpected. It’s just a coincidence that the two things came together.” Yang comforted, and made a decision, “You go find a good buyer and sell Zhuangzi, Xiaolan’s dowry can only be paid later. Think of a way, probably not enough, and then sell the house, almost can return the money to others.”

The more she was relieved, the more guilty and uncomfortable Ting Shuang felt. For the first time, she realized the greatness of Chinese women. Facing the sudden disaster, her frail body burst out with strength that cannot be underestimated. That kind of resilience supported the family through the disaster. It is sincerely admirable.

Feeling the power coming from her mother, Ting Shuang calmed down and no longer panicked or despaired.

"My God, what can I do?" A shrill female voice came from far to near.

It was Fu Rong, the concubine, crying and crying: "The shop burned down, and I still owe a large sum of money, so I can only sell the house and the land. How will I live in the future..."

"Shut up." Yang yelled to stop her, and Fu Rong was overwhelmed by her nonchalant arrogance, and she didn't dare to speak again.

Yang continued to teach her: "At this juncture, the whole family is going to work together to tide over the difficulties. Why are you howling? Hurry up and quietly."

Fu Rong lowered her head and dared not say any more.

But Meng Kejian's voice could be heard from the inner room: "What happened?"

Ting Shuang glanced at Yang Shi nervously, not daring to speak.

Fu Rong curled her lips: "The eldest young master is in charge of the business outside, and he has made a name for himself. He is really capable."

"What the hell happened?" Meng Kejian stared at him sternly, "I can still think of ways to tell." Ting Shuang thought about such a big matter, it was impossible to hide it from the head of the family anymore, so she had to say it tactfully I couldn't lift my head with guilt.

Meng Kejian was silent all the time after hearing this, the silence was like a huge boulder weighing down on everyone.After a while, he said: "At this point in the matter, there is nothing else to do. The Zhuangzi just bought the land a few years ago, and it is not enough to pay for the purchase. Go to Mr. Feng on Gulou Street, ask him to find a buyer, and sell the Zhuangzi. , then sell this house..."

"My God..." Fu Rong screamed, "Then where do we live?"

"Change to a small house, we can't stay in the city, let's go back to the countryside."

"What? Go back to the country?" Fu Rong called again, "I don't want to go back to the country to live a hard life."

"If you can't live through the hard times, you'll get out." Yang said unceremoniously, "You can go with whoever has money."

"Okay, don't make any noise." Meng Kejian said solemnly, then turned to Ting Shuang, and said, "Shuang'er, go and find Uncle Feng to help find a buyer. Then appease the buddy, no matter where you move a sum of money." Come to dismiss, if our family still has hope of reopening the shop in the future, we still have to rely on the old man, so please comfort him."

Ting Shuang listened to his calm, steady and methodical arrangements, but didn't complain to herself in a single word. She was moved and ashamed, and hurried back to the house to prepare to go out.

Ting Hui cried bitterly: "What? Go back to the countryside? What are you doing back to the countryside? Farming? I don't know how, and I can't do it."

Ting Shuang changed out of her clothes and said, "At this time, we must find a way to get over this difficulty. If you are worrying and complaining here, you might as well try your best to help."

Ting Hui scratched his head: "I want to help too, but what will I do?"

For the first time in his life, Ting Hui also felt that he was useless and useless at all.

Ting Shuang went out to find his father's old friend, Uncle Feng, and asked him to help find a buyer.Then I went to a friend to help me borrow money. If I can raise 3000 taels, I can barely reopen the store, and his family has a chance to turn around.

Unexpectedly, after running around for a few days, none of my former close friends would lend a helping hand. This one said that he was not in charge of the family, and the other said that money was tight.I went to find my father's old friends and customers, but when the other party heard that they were from the Meng family, they just said they were not there and couldn't even get in.

Ting Shuang personally felt the coldness of the world, saw all the cold eyes of the world, and didn't care about complaining about others and herself, but didn't give up any opportunity, and kept running.

He went to Zheng's house that day. The son of Zheng's family was a classmate of Meng Tingshuang's when he was in school, so he received Tingshuang readily.

"Mr. Chen has always wanted to make friends with you. It may be useful for you to ask him for help." Mr. Zheng said.

"Which Young Master Chen?" Ting Shuang was puzzled.

"It's Chen Antai, the second son of the Chen family on Datong Street. You have met him a few times. Last time he bet on arrows, he made a fool of himself."

Ting Shuang remembered that it was the dude who caught the target's thigh and said strange things while archery, and he was hiding in the room with his husband to do that kind of thing.Ting Shuang didn't like him very much, and had always avoided him, but now that she was in trouble, she had to grab even a life-saving straw.I had to agree to meet him in the restaurant at night.

Ting Shuang and Chen Antai met in a restaurant, accompanied by Mr. Zheng.

Chen Antai kept staring at Ting Shuang and smiling, his eyes made people uncomfortable, like a snake staring at an innocent frog.

Ting Shuang felt very uncomfortable, so she still bit the bullet and chatted with him.

Chen Antai seemed to be very concerned and said, "What are you going to do with such a big incident happening in your family?"

Ting Shuang endured the humiliation and said: "There is still a small farm at home, and if we sell the current house, we should be able to make up the money owed."

"Where does your family live after selling the house?"

"Change to a small house. Borrow some more money and try to reopen the shop."

"How are you going to borrow it?" Chen Antai looked at him and smiled, "There is no guarantee, no collateral, and the bank will not make mistakes in the money. If you borrow usury, you might not have a chance to turn around."

Ting Shuang naturally knew this, and kept her head down without saying a word.

Chen Antai went on to say: "The only way to borrow money is to borrow money from good friends. I wonder if there are any close relatives and friends in your family who can lend money?"

This is clearly asking the question knowingly. Ting Shuang has been running around for a few days and has not borrowed a penny. Otherwise, how could he bite the bullet and drink with someone he doesn't like.

I had no choice but to bear the humiliation and said: "Not yet, my family has fallen into this situation, and relatives and friends are far away."

Chen Antai ate melon seeds leisurely, and said with a smile, "That's because you didn't ask the right person. In fact, there are still people who are willing to borrow money."

Turning to the topic, Ting Shuang looked at him expectantly.

However, Chen Antai changed the subject and said: "Your family has fallen to this point, I am afraid that life will become a problem in the future, and Xiaolan will not be able to live a good life in your family. It is better to let her follow her mother. My stepmother misses children." Think hard, you won't suffer a lot if you come to my house and stay with your mother."

Although Xiaolan won't suffer from following her mother, Ting Shuang recalled that when she heard him talking about Xiaolan's beauty in the archery field, she planned to wait for Xiaolan to grow up and take her as a concubine. Now hearing what he said, I'm getting more and more disgusted, if I don't ask for something from others, I really want to turn against him.I had to suppress my anger and say with a stern face: "I can't make up my mind on this matter, I have to report to my parents to make up my mind."

"In this case, you can go home and report to your relatives before making up your mind." Hearing what he said, Chen Antai didn't continue this topic.He added: "If you need money, I can take out 3000 taels for turnover."

Ting Shuang couldn't believe her ears, she was surprised and delighted: "Really?"

"That's natural. I remember the first time I saw you in Daxiangguo Temple. At that time, I wanted to make friends with you. Now I finally have the opportunity to express my heart." Chen Antai put his hand on his hand.

Ting Shuang only felt goosebumps all over her body, and that hand made her feel chills like a spider crawling over it.

There are many things in this world that he doesn't understand. Although he doesn't understand, he can still feel that something is wrong. This Mr. Chen doesn't seem to be an ordinary friend to him.I don't know what the relationship between the former owner of this body and Mr. Chen is. Anyway, he doesn't want to have anything to do with this person.

Ting Shuang got up to leave.

Chen Antai and Mr. Zheng held him back and persuaded him, "Since you're here, let's eat before leaving."

After a while, the next meal was served, and Chen Antai personally persuaded him to drink.

"You don't want to make friends with me, don't you even want to drink with me? As long as you drink this glass of wine, I will help your family get through this difficult time. If you break your promise, you will die without a place to die."

Ting Shuang thought about it. The ancients respected the heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and they were extremely solemn about oaths. He had already made a poisonous oath to help, and besides, if he wanted to hang out in this place in the future, this person should not be offended. .Only had a few drinks.

Chen Antai kept persuading him to drink, but Ting Shuang refused, thinking that he could drink a catty of baijiu because he had a large capacity for alcohol. This ancient wine was like honey water, and it was no problem to drink a few cups. Unexpectedly, after a few cups, he felt dizzy and had a fever. , his body was weak in a daze, and he couldn't exert any strength.

In the drowsiness, it seemed to hear the sound of heavy objects falling, as well as screams and fights.Ting Shuang couldn't tell what happened, she just felt a headache and body heat, her lower body was swollen very badly, just wanted to vent, her hands touched it unconsciously, suddenly the scorching hot lower body was caught by someone, the most fragile and sensitive The place where he was rubbed, the sensation of numbness spread from his crotch all over his body.He twisted his body unconsciously, catering to him, like a trapped animal that has been teased to the extreme.

I don't remember how long it took for Ting Shuang to wake up slowly, feeling pain in his buttocks, and when he touched it, blood was wiped from his hands. Thinking of what happened when he was drowsy, he couldn't help but shudder, although he had never experienced such a thing before, But when he comes to this world to play with some good and bad friends, he understands some things that are not on the stage. He is obviously drugged by someone that is not conducive to the construction of spiritual civilization.

Thinking of this, it felt like being struck by lightning immediately, and a cavity of anger burned.

"you're awake?"

a clear voice asked him.

Ting Shuang followed the sound and looked over, and was taken aback when he saw that this person was Mr. Bao whom he met at the archery field last time.

Immediately, his body regained his strength, and he punched him hard in the face.Cursed: "Beast!"

After scolding, he got up from the bed and went outside.

When I got home, I fell powerlessly on the bed as soon as I entered the door. A feeling of despair was almost suffocating like a huge stone.

"Brother..." After hearing an anxious cry, the second eldest Tinghui appeared at the door in panic.

"What happened?" Ting Shuang asked worriedly.

"What happened to you?" Ting Hui asked him back.

"It's hard to explain in one word." Ting Shuang didn't want to say anything. She made friends carelessly, was framed by others, and was even thrown into trouble by others. She really didn't want her family to know.

"Did you look for that surnamed Chen?" Seeing that he didn't deny it, Ting Hui said anxiously and worriedly: "That Mr. Chen has a very bad reputation, but he is a man. Two years ago, he had bad intentions for you. You It’s true that you don’t hide from him and even take the initiative to send him to your door.”

That Chen, who was surnamed Chen, had any unhappiness with the owner of this body, Meng Tingshuang. He, a traveler, didn't know about it. Besides, even if he knew, he was reluctant to grab at straws when he was in a desperate situation. Seeing that Ting Hui was so worried, Ting Shuang didn't say anything, but only agreed: "Understood, I will guard against him in the future."

Ting Hui felt relieved, sat beside him, and said, "Today I went to my best friend Su Peng and asked him for help."

Ting Shuang hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

"What else can I do?" Ting Hui was extremely discouraged, "At this point, all my friends have become strangers. Su Peng said he couldn't help, so he bought me wine and told me not to look for him in the future."

Ting Shuang sighed and lay powerlessly on the couch.

Ting Hui continued: "However, he told me some things. He said that the prefect Luo was short of a large amount of public funds as soon as he took office. , Inhale a large sum of money and put it in the treasury as official money, deal with the treasury check, and then try to make up for it, as long as he has worked in Kaifeng Mansion for three years, at least [-] silver will definitely be obtained. Who knew what he was doing at the time. I just didn’t expect that it would be exposed so quickly, but it would hurt a lot of people. I don’t know if the government will leave some of the money to the depositors.”

Ting Shuang sighed. In this modern situation, the state may not necessarily bear the losses of users. It seems that the Jinsui Group illegally raised funds a few years ago, and many people were cheated and even jumped off the building.This is still the case in modern democratic societies, let alone feudal societies.If you want to count on the country to make up for the money lost by users, there is really little hope.

Ting Hui leaned over again and whispered: "He also said that the fire in our shop was caused by the Chen family on Datong Street."

Ting Shuang thought about it and said: "This is just hearsay, there is no evidence. It was a festival at that time, and the streets were full of fireworks and lights. It is hard to say that someone did it on purpose. Even if we have no evidence, there is no way to sue him. "

"If the Chen family really did it, I won't let him go." Ting Hui clenched his fists viciously, and said, "Su Peng also said that Chen Antai, the second son of the Chen family, has always harbored ill intentions towards you and wanted to take advantage of you." This time our family was in trouble and attacked you. He asked you to go to the restaurant just because he wanted to drug you and do something rude. I was in a hurry to find you, but he said there is no need to worry. After hearing about it, Mr. Bao has already rushed to rescue you... ..."

"What?" Ting Shuang exclaimed, "Master Bao saved me?"

"Yeah, I heard that I hurried home after I heard that I am relieved to see that you are fine. Was it Mr. Bao who sent you back?"

"Oh... ah... ah..." Ting Shuang didn't know what to say.

Ting Hui was very excited: "That Mr. Bao looks very extraordinary, like a rich and powerful man, and on the day the fire broke out, he sent you home and said to go to him if you had any difficulties, remember? Brother Go find him, maybe he can help us."

Ting Shuang thought about the indiscriminate punch just now, and didn't know what to do for a while, she just said: "It's just polite words, many old friends ignore us, let alone I only saw you He met twice, didn't even know his full name, and didn't have any friendship."
