Chapter 31 A burden

" Besides, what qualifications does your concubine have to own these jewelry? Don't forget that your deed of sale is still in my hand! You are all things of my Qin family, not to mention your jewelry! So it's the wisest choice for you to sit there obediently without saying a word.

Gan's words were fierce enough, and the words only poked the bottom of Aunt Gui's heart, which directly touched Aunt Gui's pain, making her face pale in an instant, and her heart was even more unconvinced...

I think her original family was also a large family in the city. If it hadn't been for a disaster, she would not have been sold as a slave by her father and brother. In the end, she could only be a low-status aunt in a small landlord's house, and she would be bullied and humiliated by the Gan family everywhere!

It's just that the past has become a smoke, and the life of being pampered when she was young has long ceased to exist. Therefore, although Aunt Gui was not convinced and wanted to argue, she finally couldn't say anything, because what Gan said was true, and Aunt Gui's mouth could not change her life no matter how powerful she was.

And this Aunt Gui also did such an ugly thing as stealing money and things because she was poor and suffering. After all, Aunt Gui has been to the Qin family as a concubine for three years, but she still has no children under her knees. It seems that she may not be able to give birth to children in the future. Therefore, Aunt Gui will accumulate money for herself as soon as she finds an opportunity, thinking that when the man is old and charming, she will live on her own savings quietly accumulated.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven. Aunt Gui can't calculate that the fish is so smart and careful at such a young age that she can pull her out; Aunt Gui didn't count her "mantis" to catch the "cicada", and Gan's "yellow finch" immediately took action...

This time, Aunt Gui can be said to have lost a big loss. Now she can only watch Aunt Huang turn the house upside down. In the end, Gan took all the things that should be taken once, and then she took the maid back to the house contentedly, leaving only Aunt Gui to stamp her feet in the room angrily.

So although Aunt Gui took the risk of stealing the fish's money box, she not only didn't get any benefits in the end, but also gave Gan a chance to play on the topic and scraped a good one from her most hated aunt.

Although such a result was a little unexpected, it also verified the saying that "the wicked have their own evil people grind", which finally taught Aunt Gui who stole the money box.

After that, Gan took a big advantage, so he did not pay attention to the unpleasantness that had caused trouble with the fish before. On the surface, he was still as polite as ever to the fish. After all, Qin Liuniang still has to learn embroidery skills from the fish at present. If Gan broke his face with the fish because of the money box, then Qin Liuniang is There is no benefit at all.

Although Yuer is very disdainful of Gan and Aunt Gui's behavior, the cost of returning to her hometown is still much worse. If Yuer is angry and leaves the Qin family, it will only be harmful to her. What's more, Yuer previously signed a deed with Gan, which stated that Yuer had to teach Qin Liuniang embroidery for at least one to two years, otherwise he would have to lose money according to the agreement on the deed.

Since there is the bond of the contract in black and white, the fish will not stupidly break the contract and lose money to Gan for nothing. Therefore, after carefully thinking about his situation, the fish finally decided to teach Qin Liuniang embroidery skills while making money from the beginning to collect travel expenses. When he had enough money, he would buy back the tools for carving shadow carving.

It took only one day to lose the money box, and the fish re-established a new plan to make money, and things suddenly changed...

This morning, the fish got up as usual. After grooming, he opened the door and planned to go to the hall for breakfast. Unexpectedly, the fish opened the door with a "squeak" and saw a figure flashing past her door quickly. Because the man dodged quickly, the fish only saw a corner of the blue clothes and could not see who was sneaking outside the door.

The fish looked in the direction where the figure disappeared with a puzzled face. Seeing that there had been no movement for a long time, she raised her foot and walked outside the house. Unexpectedly, the fish only took a step out and found that there was a small burden on the steps at the door. The position of the burden was very obvious. It seemed that someone deliberately put it There, I want the fish to find it as soon as they go out.

The fish felt strange and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around him, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and subconsciously stopped his footsteps and looked at the burden.

The burden is made of a small blue floral cloth. It looks a little flat and doesn't seem to be full, but the left side of the burden is slightly protruding, as if a small box is wrapped in it.

What on earth is put in such a burden?

Who deliberately put this burden in such a conspicuous place at the door?

The fish couldn't come up with an answer after thinking about it. Finally, driven by curiosity, the fish couldn't help picking up the burden and not taking it into the house. Instead, she sat directly on the steps and untied the burden...

As soon as the bag was opened, as soon as the fish saw the things wrapped in it, more than half of his doubts dissipated - the bag was wrapped in several tools for carving shadow carvings such as cones, hammers, and diamonds of different sizes, and these tools were still what the fish had planned to buy.

When the fish first saw these tools, she guessed that the burden was deliberately sent to the door of her house, because she just lacked these things.

Wait for the fish to carefully count the tools in the bag, and soon guessed that these tools were sent by Qin Henglin - because the fish had previously paid the money first and handed over the list of tools to buy to Qin Henglin. At present, the tools in the bag are exactly the same as what the fish wanted to buy.

After inferring that this small bag was sent by Qin Henglin, the fish took the bag into the room, and then took out the small box still wrapped in the bag. When he opened it, he saw a few pieces of copper coins, a few pieces of silver and a piece of yellow paper in it.

After the fish opened the yellow paper and saw it clearly, she found that it was the list of tools she gave to Qin Henglin before, and there was also an additional account written by Qin Henglin, which stated that it cost about five taels of silver to buy those tools.

After seeing the account, Yuer subconsciously turned her mind and vaguely guessed another thing in her heart. That incident made Yuer immediately count the money in the small box, and finally found that the silver and copper money in the small box were added together, which was exactly ten taels. Silver!

That is to say, Qin Henglin sent back the fifteen taels of silver that the fish had been stolen by Aunt Gui without saying a word!

However, the fish was not happy because the money was sent back - because if Qin Henglin wanted the fifteen taels of silver to come back for the fish openly and righteously, then he would have generously hand over the money to the fish and did not have to secretly put it at the door of the fish house without everyone's attention.

In this case, there is only one possibility left - these fifteen taels of silver is not the fifteen taels lost by the fish, but another fifteen taels of silver taken out by Qin Henglin in private.

After guessing the matter, Yuer understood Qin Heng's intention of sending the burden and subconsciously sighed heavily. Then the fish quietly hid the bag sent by Qin Henglin and quietly went to the hall for dinner.

And when Yuer and Qin's family sat together for dinner, Qin Henglin, who sat next to Yuer, had been a little uneasy. Not only did he not have the mood to eat, but he had been secretly paying attention to the fish's every move. Seeing that the fish's behavior was not abnormal, he was secretly relieved, thinking that the fish should not have guessed that the burden was sent by him... ...

And Qin Henglin's uneasy look suddenly felt funny when she saw it, thinking about why Qin Henglin suddenly became stupid--he presented the list together and wrote the accounts on it. Can't she guess that the burden was sent by him?

However, Yuer had long planned to ask Qin Henglin about the matter, so he was not in a hurry to talk about this matter with Qin Henglin at breakfast, but when the crowd left the hall one after another, he lost the opportunity to say to Qin Henglin: "Brother Qin, come to Liu Niang's room later, and I have something to talk to you."

After saying this, Yuer pulled Qin Liuniang back to the house, leaving Qin Henglin no chance to refuse at all. Qin Henglin was immediately happy and worried when he saw the situation. While he was happy that the fish finally took the initiative to meet him again, he was worried that the fish would ask about the burden. After all, Gan's sheltered Aunt Gui and was not very glorious, so Qin Henglin has always felt ashamed...

However, Qin Henglin finally failed to make a decision against his will, and still went to Qin Liuniang's room with full contradictions and expectations.

When Qin Heng was in a room, Yuer looked at him thoughtfully and thought about how to ask about the burden. In his heart, he even thought about how she should hint that Qin Henglin would understand that it was impossible between them...

As soon as Qin Heng saw the fish looking at him thoughtfully, he immediately rushed to be a little uneasy, and his usual calmness and stability disappeared for some reason!

Qin Henglin didn't wait for the fish to speak, so he said first: "Ba Niangzi, I didn't send the burden at your door. Don't get me wrong."

Hearing this, Yuer raised her eyebrows with a funny face and asked, "I haven't spoken yet. How did Brother Qin know that I had an extra burden at the door early in the morning?"

As soon as Yu's words came out, Qin Henglin not only immediately blushed with embarrassment and explained hesitantly, "I... happened to see the burden in the morning, so... that's why I casually said this to you."
