LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 2 Going to town to raise money
Song Tingran felt that the era of female supremacy had really traveled into her heart.
She opened the closet and found that in addition to the big green one she was wearing, she also had another earthy red one.
This is all due to the "good sisters" who always invite the original owner to listen to ditties and gamble.
Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived and shouted outside the door: "Sister Song, the money you owe me should be paid back today. If you still can't pay back, I will take your fourth son Sang Cheng away!"
Song Tingran dragged her body weighing 200 kilograms and ran into the yard as fast as she could. She happened to see her so-called good sister Wang Ying stretching out her hand to touch Sang Cheng's face.
"Put your hands down, you dare to touch my people!"
Song Tingran stood in the courtyard with great force. She pulled Sang Cheng behind her and asked, "How much money do I owe you?"
Wang Ying saw that she was very angry today, so she didn't think much about it. She knew this fool well. She praised her for looking good in red and green, so she wore it. She couldn't tell if she was cheating on her.
"Two taels of silver!"
Song Tingran had no idea about silver, but when she heard the two liang, she didn't feel much. However, seeing the surprised, worried, and resentful expressions of several husbands, she knew that in this village, it might be an astronomical figure.
Shi Yan was the big man in the family. He said angrily to Song Tingran, "Didn't you say you wouldn't sell Sang Cheng? Why did you push him out again!"
Sang Cheng felt sad, but he still pulled Shi Yan's arm and told him not to argue with his wife to avoid being beaten.
"Repay the money quickly!"
Wang Ying's voice was loud, and her shouts attracted many villagers to watch, all watching Song Tingran's joke.
"Wang Ying, I'll pay you back today, but today's not over yet. You openly come to harass my Sang Cheng. Be careful, I'll beat you up, and then you can complain to the village chief."
The village chief is the biggest official in Daniu Village. He is the one who usually resolves cases. Everyone is convinced. Although Wang Ying was afraid, she stood up and took out an IOU, which was clearly written in black and white.
Song Tingran took it over and took a look. Shi Yan was also peeking at it. The handwriting was crooked, but it was indeed his wife's signature.
"Just wait, I'll get the money for you."
As soon as Song Tingran said this, the surrounding villagers and Wang Ying all laughed. Who didn't know that her family was so poor that her husband who couldn't afford it all returned to his parents' home and was looked down upon.
"Shi Yan, Xiao Yuchen, you two keep an eye on the door and protect Sang Cheng. If anyone dares to rob someone, beat him out with a big stick!"
"Wen Li, you carry the kitchen basket and follow me to get the money."
Song Tingran was so powerful that she calmed everyone down. She pulled Shi Yan aside and said, "Do you have any money left during your teaching days? Use it for emergencies. I will pay you back double when you come back."
Shi Yangang was moved for a second, feeling that his wife had fallen down and knew she was protecting her family, but she was actually trying to rob and defraud him of his money.
"Master Wife, you know, the family really has no money."
Song Tingran's credibility was always low. She had no choice. She needed money to ride a bullock cart to the town, so she threatened: "If you don't give it to me, I will divorce you."
The ends of Shi Yan's eyes turned red instantly, which made Song Tingran feel very distressed, but she couldn't tell from her fleshy face.
"that's it."
Shi Yan took out two cents from a worn purse and handed it to her with despair.
The purse looked familiar, but Song Tingran couldn't remember it for a moment, so he left the Song family with Wen Li.
"Hey, the fat man is going out with the ugly guy."
A child of five or six years old shouted in the crowd, causing everyone to laugh. The scar on Wen Li's face was left when he was working as a child. He has always had low self-esteem, and now he lowers his head even more.
Song Tingran walked over, slapped the adult on the face, and said: "It's the mother's fault if the child doesn't teach. If your child talks nonsense, I will try to educate him."
Her slap knocked the person unconscious, but the wife of the Zheng family couldn't beat Song Tingran at all, and she only clamored to tell the village chief to judge.
Song Tingran took Wen Li away without looking back, and the two of them got on the bullock cart going to the town with exactly two cents.
"Master Wife, you can just take the bullock cart. I can walk there."
Wen Li's voice was very low. There were other people on the bullock cart, and he almost lowered his head into his collar.
"Wen Li, raise your head, you are just like everyone else, there is nothing wrong with us."
Hearing Song Tingran's words, Wen Li only raised his head and glanced in surprise, then lowered his head again. You know, it was she who spread the word that people in the village called him ugly.
Everyone in the car was covering their mouths and laughing, and even the mother-in-law deliberately joked: "The wife of the Song family is really generous when she goes out this time. In the past, she made them run behind the bullock cart."
"It's none of your business. Your husband is ugly and old. It would be embarrassing to take him out."
Song Tingran was firing on all cylinders, and when he got off the bus, no one dared to say anything.
Wen Li had never been to the town. When he first came to the Song family, he walked all the way from the trail and took three days and three nights to arrive.
Song Tingran walked into an alley, took the backpack over, and said, "Wait here for me to come back. Don't run around."
"Yes, wife master."
Wen Li was very afraid, firstly because he was afraid that others would see his ugly face, and secondly because he was afraid that his wife would abandon him if she left.
Song Tingran took out a bunch of ripe and plump lychees from the space in this remote alley. This was a rare thing here.
With the backpack fully loaded, she came back happily. When she saw Wen Li was still there, she walked to him and showed him the contents.
Wen Li's face turned green, and he said tremblingly: "Wife, wife, this, this, this..."
"Shh, I picked this from the mountain by chance. I hid it here. I thought you were the most stern, so I took you out. Do you understand?"
"My wife, I understand."
Song Tingran then asked Wen Li to take her to the restaurant where she was the biggest in town. Wen Li clasped the corners of his clothes with both hands and said, "My wife, don't make fun of me. This is my first time in town."
Well, she brought the wrong person. She just wanted to choose someone who was honest and could lead the way.
The original owner's memory was only about the locations of places like gambling houses, taverns, and theaters. Song Tingran had no choice but to ask along the road, and Wen Li followed closely.
Zuixianglou has arrived.
Song Tingran walked in grandly, and the waiter immediately greeted him and asked: "You two distinguished guests, are you in the wrong place?"
As expected, it was the style of a big restaurant. The waiter didn't chase her away directly and spoke quite tactfully.
"I'm looking for your shopkeeper to discuss business."
Song Tingran took out a lychee from her palm and waved it in front of the waiter's eyes. He immediately opened his eyes wide, nodded and took it with both hands, and quickly entered the inner hall.
Soon, a well-dressed woman came out and said, "I'm the shopkeeper Lin from Zuixian Tower. Please come in."
