Chapter 98 Untrustworthy

"Uh... I'm so full!" Niu Quanyou rubbed his stomach that was so full and said with satisfaction.

"What else can you do except eat and sleep all day now?" Aunt Niu said angrily. She had such a disgraceful man and her life was already home. She was old and couldn't move anymore. She had to serve him for the rest of her life. She thought about it and felt wronged.

"My legs are broken, what else can I do? I don't know the man who feels sorry for me at all. Do you want me to die early now? You can find another one?" Niu Quanyou wiped his mouth and muttered.

"You old man, you are not serious, do you think everyone is the same as you? I'm still more comfortable without you. Look at the days you're at home, but can you live a peaceful life for a while?" Mrs. Niu thought about the bad things she had in recent times, mostly because of this old man.

"I'm lazy to talk to you now, I'm bored!" Niu Quanyouzhu raised his cane and went back to the room. When he passed the threshold, he almost tripped and said something cursingly.

Ding Qiaoyun, who had been tired for a day, didn't want to speak at this moment. She felt that her body was tired and her heart was even more tired. She was already working hard to make money and adapt to the life here, but the family was still in chaos. She originally wanted to live such a life, but she always thought that as long as she treated her sincerely, she could get equal sincerity. But the reality was not as good as she imagined. Take her mother-in-law for example. Now she is living a life that is better than when she first came through, but her mother-in-law is still not satisfied. She thought it would be better if she didn't have a worldly vision!

As night fell, Ding Qiaoyun coaxed her two children to bed. Niu Dashan had not yet washed up, and the room was so quiet. She looked at the sleeping child and thought about what she had had today. She felt that this was not a solution. She had to think of an idea to walk out of the house. This would also help the child's growth and education. While she was thinking about the idea, Niu Dashan washed up and came back.

"Madam, are you still worried about what happened just now?" Niu Dashan asked softly when he saw his wife looking frowning.

"No, my husband, no matter what, they are all your parents. I don't care about it. It's just that it's not a solution to keep going like this?" Ding Qiaoyun got up and came to her husband and said softly.

"The shops in the county town and the courtyard behind the courtyard have been cleaned up. I have been inquiring about the school, but Xiang'er is too young and the school does not. Jun'er is planning to enroll in the county town and has to wait until after the New Year, so she still has to go to school in the village before the New Year." Niu Dashan has been inquiring about Jun'er's enrollment these days, and probably has some insights.

"It's after the New Year, it's not a few months anyway. By the way, my husband, what are you going to do with the pawnshop?" Ding Qiaoyun sighed and said.

"When I went to the field, I met Shuanzhu, borrowed some silver from him, and went to the pawnshop to redeem it tomorrow." Niu Dashan said.

"Well, okay, this Shuanzhu is not the same as his parents. It seems that good bamboo shoots have been produced!" Ding Qiaoyun said jokingly.

"Yes, he used to be careless, but he just resisted in his own way because he couldn't stand some of his parents' practices. Now he can find work in the county town, which is considered to be a job." Niu Dashan himself has no brothers, so he still has a lot of feelings for this cousin who is a few years younger than him.

"It's getting late, go to bed early!" Ding Qiaoyun yawned and said with a strong sleepiness.

"Madam, you go to bed first, I'll come soon." Niu Dashan carefully counted the silver and money in the money bag, and confirmed that the amount of jade pendants had been redeemed. He carefully placed it as a ticket and the money bag in the cabinet before going to bed.

Early the next morning, Ding Qiaoyun and Niu Dashan and his wife arrived at the county town early to open the door to do business.

Seeing that it was still early and there were no people on the street, Ding Qiaoyun called Niu Dashan to go to the pawn shop to see if the door was opened.

When Niu Dashan came to the "Xinglong Pawnshop", the servant had just opened the door and was sweeping the floor. When he saw Niu Dashan coming, he didn't say hello, because he could see yesterday that the shopkeeper didn't want to redeem the jade pendant for him, so he dared to be so negligent.

"Sister, is your shopkeeper here?" Niu Dashan asked when he saw that the servant ignored him.

"I lobbyist, have you ever seen a shopkeeper come here in person early in the morning. Wait, and maybe come back in another hour!" the servant said carelessly.

Niu Dashan thought that he must redeem this time. Forget it, just wait here. Anyway, an hour will pass soon.

Just when Niu Dashan was a little impatient, the pawnshop owner slowly came out of it. It turned out that the pawnshop had a back door. If the pawnshop owner deliberately ignored him, maybe he would not see anyone else when he waited here for a day.

"Silence, have you paid enough?" asked the pawnshop shopkeeper.

"The silver is here, and there are also tickets. Where is my jade pendant?" Niu Dashan put the silver and tickets in his hand on the counter and said impatiently.

"Customer, it's a coincidence that after you left yesterday, a generous customer bought it for a lot of money." The pawnshop said slowly, without even looking at the money and tickets on the counter. He thought that this poor countryman really thought that what he said yesterday would fulfill. Now it's really hard to find such a real person! He doesn't know where this jade pendant is now, and he also said he can't do anything!

"Shopkeeper, how can you be untrustful?" Niu Dashan was annoyed, and the anger in his eyes was about to burst out. He thought that since the shopkeeper agreed to him, he would definitely keep his promise, but he was too naive. In this way, this jade pendant was probably as true as the wife said, and had been sold at a high price.

"This is written clearly in black and white on the ticket. It expired yesterday. Isn't it normal for me to sell it to others?" said the pawnshop shopkeeper.

"Are you bullying people? You are so shameless to open such a big pawn shop, but you don't keep your promises!" Niu Dashan was not a quarrel. After holding it in for a long time, he just put these words in his mouth.

"Are you going to finish it? You still want to do business? Look at you so poor, hurry up and find out if there is any heirloom that can be used as a family heirloom. Maybe you can be free for a while." The servant took advantage of the situation and said sarcastically.

"Sooner or later, I will definitely find this jade pendant back!" Niu Dashan knew that it would be meaningless if he was entangled at this moment. He said this before leaving, but in fact he said it for himself.

Niu Dashan was always blaming himself on the way back. For the first time, he felt that he was useless and could not even protect a mere jade pendant, so how could he give his wife happiness? He was thinking along the way how to explain to his wife when he returned to the ready-to-wear shop.
