Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 125 Proposal

Ye Shuyun kept it a secret, "Do you know who went to his house to collect the debt?"

"How would I know? I wasn't there to see it."

However, no one in this area knows who is going to collect the debt better than Jiang Ci.

"I heard it! It's someone from the gambling house!!"

Just as Ye Shuyun thought, Jiang Ci looked surprised.

"He owes the gambling house 40 taels of silver. The gambling house asked him to pay it back tomorrow, and we don't even know when he started going to the gambling house. If he gets involved in gambling, it's going to be a disaster!"

"40 taels, that should have emptied his family's savings."

Ye Shuyun looked at Jiang Ci with a distressed look.

Even though it was dark and she couldn't see clearly, Jiang Ci could still sense it.

"If I get that money, I would rather he pay it back to the gambling house than watch them live comfortably with that money."

"But after tomorrow, if his family doesn't sell anything or land and pays back the 40 taels of silver, then the villagers will know whether he embezzled your family's money that year."

"Once you get involved in gambling, it's not that easy to stop. Then I'll just wait and listen to their stories."

Ye Shuyun looked at Jiang Ci, who was leaning against the door panel, gazing at the distant sky with a faint smile on her face, and felt as if she was out of the matter.

In the evening, Lin Jingsheng also talked about this matter with Jiang Ci.

Whenever something big happens in these villages, the speed of spread is comparable to that of the Internet in later generations.

"Strangely enough, the gambling house people came to collect the debt from him but didn't break his arms or legs. They just threatened him. Then he has to collect 40 taels of silver tomorrow."

"Why? Do you usually break the arms and legs first as a day's interest before collecting the money?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I've heard that people who owed money to gambling houses didn't have their arms and legs intact. If they couldn't pay it back later, they would just chop off their arms and legs."

Jiang Ci shrank into Lin Jingsheng's arms, "It's so bloody."

Lin Jingsheng stroked Jiang Ci's hair to comfort him, "You really can't go to the gambling house."

"Well, don't give in to temptation next time and let them drag you to my house and ask me to help you pay back the money."

"How could I."

Jiang Ci touched Lin Jingsheng's face and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously, don't be sad!"

He kissed the palm of Jiang Ci's hand, "I know."

The two of them made a fuss for a while and then went to sleep.

Before falling asleep, Jiang Ci thought in her dazed mind that she would have a good dream today after hearing such good news.

He dreamed that his good uncle was going deeper and deeper according to his plan, and he dreamed that his good aunt...

Every time they came to Xiaoye Village, their grandparents would always linger at the door waiting to see them coming, and this time was no exception.

Grandma touched Jiang Ci's face and said, "You must be tired from picking corn. You look tanned. If you ask me, there are so many men in your family. You should just stay at home and don't go anywhere."

There is a kind of thinness that makes your mother think you are thin; similarly, there is a kind of darkness that makes your grandmother think you are dark.

"Grandma, are you seeing things? I didn't contribute anything to the recycling of corn, so how can I get tanned?"

Farmers in this dynasty dealt with the land all their lives and still worried about their livelihoods. Even when they were old, they had to work hard to contribute to their families.

Grandma and grandpa are both no more than 65 years old this year, but they look similar to the or -year-old people that Jiang Ci has seen in modern times.

Fortunately, grandma and grandpa are in good health. The old lady, who is now in her 60s, is still very energetic and pulls Jiang Ci towards the yard.

Lin Jingxuan ran up to the two of them, put her hands on her hips and asked, "Now that I have Brother Ci, does grandma not like me anymore?"

Grandma narrowed her eyes and touched Lin Jingxuan's head with her rough hands, "Oh my! Our Xuanxuan has grown taller and more beautiful. How can grandma not like Xuanxuan?"

A group of half-grown children gathered together to play and eat the cakes and candied fruits they brought with them.

Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng asked their eldest uncle and second uncle to find out what kind of families made toothbrushes in their village.

In fact, Jiang Ci felt that there was no need to tell all those families, and wanted to hand over the toothbrush-making business in Xiaoye Village to his two uncles.

Jiang Ci handed the drawings with patterns on them to her two uncles.

"My uncle would give these patterns to whoever he saw who had good carpentry skills."

Jiang Ci brought over a few more carved samples.

"It's engraved right here. When they're done, my uncle takes them back and sends them to me. They have these simple patterns. Each toothbrush handle costs two cents. Like these two complicated ones..."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely find one that's good at carpentry, and it has to be pretty."

Jiang Ci told her two uncles everything about the distribution and collection of toothbrushes.

They also made it clear how much shipping fee they collected for each basket sent to Linjia Village.

At first, the two uncles shook their heads when they heard about such a high shipping fee. They were making toothbrushes at home when they had nothing to do, and there were always people at home. It was not a big deal to collect the toothbrushes, so why would they spend so much money?

The task of persuading the two uncles was given to Lin Jingsheng.

Lin Jingsheng: "Why is it not troublesome? Especially in the past period of time, the toothbrushes they sent over had to be checked one by one to see how they were made. If they were not up to standard, they had to be sent back.

Also, we have made money and we want to help you, so don’t put it off. Besides, you never know what work will need to be handed over to your two uncles in the future. If you don’t want the money now, I won’t hand it over to you in the future.”

"Well, don't worry, this will be done."

Both uncles had wrinkles on their faces from smiling. Who wouldn’t be happy to be able to earn more money?

Jiang Ci handed the matter over to his two uncles. As for how they would divide the money given to them, it was not within Jiang Ci's consideration.

Jiang Ci believed that they would get it done and would not fall out over such a small profit.

Everyone knows that if they quarrel over such a small amount of money, they must not be broad-minded people. How can they get a good job in the future?

After all, these businesses were all thought up by Jiang Ci, and there is no blood relationship between Jiang Ci and these two families.

After finishing the serious business, we started talking about the interesting things that happened in the past few days.

Ye Wan asked her second aunt, "So when will Ye Bei go to Xige'er's house to propose marriage? They have to get married before Tingge'er and Lin Chuan can get married."

"I asked someone to calculate the date, and I went to Xige'er's house to propose marriage six days later. Xige'er's family also agreed."

My second aunt smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

"After going to Xige'er to propose marriage and set a date for the wedding, Lin Chuan can only come to my house to propose marriage first."

"That's fine, it's all happy news."

Jiang Ci listened carefully. He could go home and ask Lin Xi why he had never told him about this.

But now he went to the subject of another person.

"Ting'er, the headband on your head is so beautiful. The flowers embroidered on it look alive. Ting'er looks even better with such a headband."

Ye Yunting raised his hand and touched the hairband on his head, his face flushed a little.

"Yeah."

"Really, it's very beautiful. Did you embroider it yourself?"

"No, how could I possibly embroider such a beautiful headband? This is... given to me by Lin Chuan."

It wasn't until I heard the last sentence that I felt so embarrassed that my face turned red.
