Embroidered brocade debt
As soon as Chun Mei saw Tang Jinxiu arrive, she immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Tang Jinxiu, are you coming now to voluntarily admit your mistake?"
According to Chunmei's previous understanding of Tang Jinyu, she thought that when Tang Jinyu heard this, she would definitely be furious and rush up to refute. At that time, she would let the two younger brothers who followed her catch her, and properly scold her in front of everyone in the village. This Tang Jinyu, was once the young lady of the Tang family, but now she is being bullied by herself. The corners of Chunmei's eyes and eyebrows were all hooked into a triumphant arc, just waiting for Tang Jinyu to get angry and rush up.
"White flat, hurry up and send your embroidered sister back."
As soon as Bai Qi saw Tang Jinxiu arrive, his brow furrowed. In his opinion, this matter was already settled. If he allowed his niece to intervene again, it would probably lead to unnecessary complications. He knew his niece all too well - she had always been doing foolish things.
He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Bai Qi. At this time, Bai Qi was also looking at him, with a pair of eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes, filled with disappointment and sighs. Seeing Uncle Bai Qi, he changed his pace and went towards Uncle's direction. But halfway through, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
Bai Ping's face was extremely ugly at this moment, staring at the cousin in front of him who had brought such great humiliation to his family. Although he hated her to the core, his expression was also clenched with anger, but after all, he didn't make any excessive moves. He just gritted his teeth and said: "Jinxiu cousin, I'll send you back now. Let's leave this matter to Father, we shouldn't cause more trouble here."
When Bai Ping spoke, he especially emphasized the two words "add chaos".
In the calm lake water, a true reflection of Bai Ping's face, which had turned bright red with anger and shame, appeared in her eyes. In her heart, she couldn't help but complain to the original owner. The original Tang Jinxiu, what kind of mess did she leave behind for her?
"Sister Jinxiu!" Bai Ping saw that Tang Jinxiu didn't say a word, but only looked at him with a pair of clear eyes, suddenly becoming even more enraged.
His expression was calm and gentle on the surface, but at this moment, he didn't have a smile, and in his gentleness, there was a hint of seriousness.
"Big brother, this matter concerns me, I must stay here." An Yan said after finishing the sentence, and saw Bai Ping's face turn even darker, hurriedly adding: "If you find that I have any unusual movements or do anything foolish again, then just knock me out and take me back."
Suddenly hearing such words, Bai Ping was momentarily stunned. It was Bai Ping's sidekick, Liu Shi, who seriously read An Yan's words several times before helping out and saying: "Dàláng, let Jinxiu jiejie stay behind, I think she seems to have become more sensible." "Hmph..."
Bai Ping heard Liu's words and just snorted, but his body did step aside.
An Yan turned her head and smiled warmly at Liu Shi, which was a way of thanking her for speaking up for herself earlier.
Suddenly receiving her gratitude, Liu thought she was dreaming and couldn't help but pinch herself. As a result, she found that it didn't hurt, thinking that she really was dreaming, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief on her face.
"Qī niáng, you're pinching me for what?"
Just as she let out a sigh of relief, she heard Bai Ping's puzzled expression beside her. She turned her head to look, and indeed, her hand was still pinching Bai Ping's face. Her face suddenly flushed red, and she quickly withdrew her hand. Then, she carefully looked around at the people nearby, discovering that everyone's gaze was on Jin Xiu's cousin, and no one had noticed what was happening here, so her expression returned to normal.
An spoke softly, "Uncle, Jingniu already knows she was wrong. Since you've already handled it this way, Jingniu feels guilty towards you in her heart. However, Jingniu also knows that your family truly cares for her, so she's accepted it with a thick face. But since this matter originated from Jingniu herself, she thinks it's better to clarify things personally. Uncle, do you think that's okay?"
She wanted to say that she would handle the matter herself, but as a newcomer, she was still feeling anxious and didn't know how to make money quickly. This sum of money was unavoidable, and now Tang Jinxiu had no power or influence, so she could only be at the mercy of others. If the other party was not in a good mood, they might use some means to put her in a difficult situation. At that time, she would really be crying out for help but no one would respond.
Bai Qi's eyes were filled with shock as he listened to his niece's words. Such knowledgeable and reasonable words, yet they came from the mouth of his own stubborn and arrogant niece. He thought he was hallucinating, but when he looked down, he saw that his niece was staring at him with her bright eyes, and for some reason, he nodded in agreement.
An Yan looked at Bai Qi and nodded, then turned around and went towards Chun Mei's side.
Spring Plum slightly raised her head, with a very proud and provocative look. She just wanted to stimulate Tang Jinxiu, so that the matter would be bigger, and Tang Jinxiu would not be able to mix in this village.
"This time, it was indeed my fault. On that day when I returned from Qingcheng, I deeply regretted my actions. I shouldn't have rushed at the young lady and quarreled with several sisters. After thinking about it at home, I felt ashamed and truly guilty in my heart. So on that day, I wanted to die to apologize. Who knew that fate didn't want me to die? When I came back to life again, I knew that heaven had spared my life so that I could reform and become a better person, serve the people around me with a good heart. Therefore, these ten taels of silver, I will definitely work hard to repay. It's just that I hope Spring Plum sister can have a good talk with the young lady, be understanding. Just one month is fine, after one month, I will definitely return the silver."
Chun Mei was stunned, her eyes widening in shock. She almost thought she had seen a ghost. Who was this Tang Jinxiu? She knew better than anyone else. That used to be the eldest miss of the Tang family, with servants at her beck and call, always with an air of superiority. Even after being kicked out of the house later on, her temperament hadn't changed one bit.
But now, in front of herself, speaking softly and clearly, is really Tang Jinxiu. Did she die once and her brain became more useful?
While Chun Mei was stunned, the people around her were already discussing it.
"This Tang Jinxiu is also pitiful, originally a rich family's daughter, later was driven out of the house, at first couldn't accept doing some things and it's also understandable."
A young woman holding a child couldn't help but speak up for Tang Jinxiu at this time. The people of Green Bamboo Village all knew that Tang Jinxiu had hanged herself before. Since she had already died once, now wanting to make amends and live a good life, everyone was naturally willing to give her another chance.
"That's right, since we already know we're wrong, then giving some compensation to Miss Ruan is fine. I believe Miss Ruan won't keep harping on it either." "Exactly, a young lady's reputation isn't easy to maintain."
There's one, there's two. Most people in Green Bamboo Village are still very kind and simple-minded, and now they all speak up to plead for mercy. Of course, there must also be some people with bad intentions in the village, but now that outsiders are present, they know it's not time to make trouble.
Chun Mei did not expect the final result to be like this, she came wanting to give Tang Jinxiu and the White family a slap in the face, and then let the White family go bankrupt. However, now it has evolved into such a situation, which is somewhat unexpected.
Chun Mei's eyes flashed, thinking it was better to hurry back and report to the young lady. Moreover, today's goal had been achieved, and both the White family and Tang Jinxiu had acknowledged the silver, just waiting for a month later to go bankrupt.
"Miss has always been kind-hearted, so let's just forget about this matter and give you another month of leniency. However, don't take advantage of Miss's kindness to do anything underhanded. And Tang Jinxiu, Miss is doing this for your own good. She remembers the friendship you once shared and can't bear to see you make mistakes again, so she asked me to advise you. I hope you will think carefully about it."
Having finished speaking, Chunmei led the two young servants onto the horse carriage and departed in a cloud of dust.
