Chapter 26 Steal money!

The carpenter and the blacksmith made all the tools out, with a total of more than 30 taels of silver. Bai Wei paid the money and found a peddler to take the things back to Shiping Village tomorrow.

She went to buy a few pieces of cloth and asked Jiang to make some new clothes for her family.

The clothes worn by Jiang and Mrs. Bai were sewn and patched, and the clothes were filled with patches.

Bai Meng's clothes also have patches, which are slightly better than Bai Li. He jumped first, and Jiang made new clothes for him, but the old clothes that he couldn't wear were changed to Bai Li.

The best thing she wears at home is her, she makes two new clothes every year.

Bai Wei chose two materials: fine cotton and coarse cotton, and made several pieces each. She wore coarse cloth to work, while fine cotton was usually worn.

I was about to pay the money, but finally thought about it and chose a piece of black cotton for Chen Yu.

This pile of fabric cost seven or eight taels of silver.

The shopkeeper carried it to Bai Wei and placed it on the ox cart.

Bai Wei was about to climb onto the ox cart, but she saw people not far away, screaming and begging for mercy.

She doesn't like to meddle in other people's business and let people drive a car.

At this time, the crowd made a way out and several strong men who hit people left.

The people watching the fun dispersed.

Bai Wei saw clearly that the boy lying on the ground was Bai Li!

Her face changed and she ran over immediately. Bai Li held her head, curled up on the ground, trembling all over.

"Why are they trying to hit you?" Bai Wei pulled his hand away. Bai Li was beaten to the point of bruising and swollen with tears and snot and blood.

Bai Li was almost dead after being beaten, and was afraid and painful. When he heard Bai Wei's voice, his soul was almost scared away.

He didn't dare to tell the truth, endured the pain and picked up the two books scattered on the ground, "I... I went to the bookstore to copy books as you said, but the shopkeeper thought I was not good at writing and was unwilling to copy them for me. I asked him to borrow books and sell them. These people said I occupied their territory and asked me for money. I refused to give it, so I beat me up and snatched the copper coins I sold!"

Bai Wei was full of evil fire and was about to chase those people.

Bai Li hurriedly grabbed Bai Wei. When she went to stop people, she would know that those were people in the gambling house and asked him for profit.

Tomorrow is the final deadline. If he can't take it out, he will chop off his hands.

Bai Li looked at the cut marks on the back of his hand, and the two strands fought.

"Sister, I want to go home." Bai Li's voice was trembling.

Bai Wei pursed her lips tightly and met Bai Li's stubborn and panicked and scared eyes. She was helping him get on the ox cart and go home.

Jiang saw Bai Li's nose and face swollen, and tears fell down, "Who did you hit you? Why are they so ruthless? They beat you to death!"

Bai Li was always frightened and anxious. He heard Jiang's concerns and immediately cried.

"Mom, I don't want to go to the town to sell books, and I don't want to study!"

"If you don't sell, you won't sell. Our family doesn't need these two money for you. If you don't want to study, just rest at home and weave straw sandals with your father." Jiang was so distressed that Bai Li was seriously guilty and she followed whatever he said.

Bai Wei sneered, and Bai Li was so scared that his neck shrank and he didn't dare to cry anymore.

She went to the room to take out the injured medicine she bought for Chen Yu, and threw it to Bai Li and asked him to apply the medicine by himself.

Bai Li hid back to his room.

Jiang complained to Bai Wei, "Li'er is simple-minded. As a sister, you should take care of him more. He is already timid, and he doesn't dare to go out even if he scares him."

Bai Weixin said: He dares to go to the gambling house, but he is still timid?

I didn't say much, took out the cloth I bought today, "Mom, I bought some cloth, how many clothes do you make for your family."

Jiang looked at seven or eight pieces of cloth in shock, "Is this a lot of money?"

"Mom, I earn a lot of money, but these cloths can't cost much money." Bai Wei knew that Jiang felt sorry for the money spent. In order to comfort her, she said truthfully: "The jade Guanyin that Xie Yuzhuo and I carved for Mr. Zhao, I got thirty taels of silver. Our family hasn't worn new clothes for a long time, so we should change it."

Jiang's eyes widened, three...thirty taels of silver?!

"Viwei, no matter how much you earn, don't spend it randomly. This is all hard money. You have to save it well and put it on the blade." Jiang advised Bai Wei to save money, but did not ask Bai Wei to hand over the money like other parents.

"I see."

Bai Wei responded, returned to the room, put more than 110 taels of silver in a clay pot, stuffed it under the bed, and then held a small broken box to block it.

She couldn't buy the raw stones and planned to build a new house.

Bai Meng might get married when he will live with Bai Li now, so he can't squeeze together, right? Bai Li is not young anymore, he is about to talk about marriage, and only if he has a new house will the girl be willing to marry.

Before repairing the house, she had to take Dad Bai to the county town and find a doctor to treat him.

All of this money was arranged.

She carried a bamboo basket and went to the field to peel rotten vegetables and leaves to feed the chickens.

Bai Li leaned against the door panel, holding the medicine bottle tightly in his hand, and his ears were filled with Bai Wei saying that she had earned thirty taels of silver.

He was thinking, but when Bai Wei's methods were taken, the wound on his body started to hurt again.

Quirky!

That night, Bai Li couldn't swallow it.

I tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep.

He lay on the bed, watching the night tear apart by the light, and the sun shining all over the room, and the fear in his heart almost swallowed him with the sun.

Seeing that it was almost time to pay off the debt, Bai Li got up depressedly.

He saw the family carrying wooden shelves and iron tools to the shed.

Bai Lijiao held his palm, looked at the shocking bloodstains on the back of his hand, took a deep breath to suppress the fear in his heart, and slipped into Bai Wei's room.

It would rather be a blow to Bai Wei than chop off his hands.

He felt agitation in his heart, searching for silver in panic, and finally found a clay pot under the bed, and took out the silver with his fingers trembling.

After counting, there were more than one hundred and ten taels.

Bai Li swallowed and spitted, he had never seen so much money in his life!

He stuffed all the silver into his sleeves, put all the clay pots back in place, and prepared to open the door and leave.

Caught off guard, he met Bai Wei's cold face and scared him to fall to the ground.

"You, you..."

Bai Wei frowned, "What are you doing in my house with sneaky eyes?"

Bai Li's face was pale. Seeing Bai Wei rolling up her sleeves and preparing to fight, she was almost scared to pee.

“I, I…”

Bai Wei directly touched his sleeves and found silver notes and silver ingots from it. Her face was gloomy and her forehead was beating.

Bai Li knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his tears, "Sister, sister, listen to me..."

"Is Bai Li's home here?" A rough voice sounded at the gate of the yard.

Bai Li grabbed Bai Wei's trousers tightly and begged, "Sister, you want to save me. I owed thirty taels of silver in the gambling house. If I don't pay it back today, they will chop off my hands!"

Bai Wei looked ugly. She lost fifty taels and borrowed thirty taels? Is his gill swollen?!

Several strong men walked to Bai Wei's house and saw Bai Li crying with tears in his eyes. He showed a fierce look in his eyes.

"Bai Li, have you collected all the money?"

Bai Li was both nervous and brave. He hugged Bai Wei's legs and refused to let go, "Sister! I beg you! Save me this time! I dare not! I will never dare to do it again! I will listen to your order in the future!"

Bai Wei looked at Bai Li, trembling, and looked up at the strong men, with big bull noses and big eyes, and fierce and evil spirits.

I recognized it at a glance that it was these people who beat Bai Li in the town.

She asked, "How much money does he owe you?"

"Not much, one hundred taels!" Qian Laosi looked at Bai Wei's beautiful appearance. Although it was a little darker, it did not affect the price. "If you can't pay it back, you will either chop off his hands or use you to pay for the money!"

"No... don't chop my hands!" Bai Li's hands and feet were cold and he hid behind Bai Wei, "I... I only borrowed thirty taels..."

Qian Laosi sneered, "You borrowed money from profit, profit. It was thirty taels before, but now it's 100 taels!"

Bai Li was stunned. He didn't know that he would have to pay so much money. He crawled and knelt in front of Bai Wei, kowtowed, and cried: "Sister, you have money, you have more than a hundred taels of silver. If you pay it back for me, I will repay you!"

Bai Wei recognized money but not people. Bai Li realized desperately that Bai Wei would not save him!

He took the initiative, grabbed Bai Wei's hand, and snatched the silver from her sleeve.
