C5 It Really Did Come

"How dare you splash water on me!" Zhang Cuihua's heart turned cold after being splashed with cold water. Her voice was as sharp as a chicken with its throat choked.

"I'm going to die! Su Yunchuan owes me money, but she still wants to kill me!"

A trace of disgust flashed across Su Yunchuan's beautiful eyes. She took two steps back and said, "I'm splashing water in my own house. Why is Sister-In-Law Cuihua standing in my house?"

"Oh, so it's Aunt Cuihua who came uninvited. Then I'm really sorry, please forgive me."

"Is there still justice in this world? Not only did you not return the money you owe, you even dared to hit people. What a sin!" Zhang Cuihua plopped onto the ground, the fat on her body trembling. She slapped her thick thighs and cried as more and more people gathered around to watch the show.

"What is this all about?"

At some point, Yamen runner Wang had arrived on patrol. When he saw the fat woman on the ground, he shouted angrily, "Who is this?! This is outrageous!"

Ever since the ancient people were afraid of officials, Zhang Cuihua had been no exception. She was scared out of her wits and did not dare to speak. She could only bite the bullet and explain, "The Su family owes money and does not pay it back. I had no choice but to do this..."

Yamen runner Wang felt helpless. At this moment, Su Yunchuan walked over and handed two taels of silver to Zhang Cuihua, "We never said we wouldn't pay, right? You, on the other hand, came without saying a word, and almost made my mother faint with anger. Not only that, but you also slandered my innocence."

"Is that true?" When Yamen runner Wang asked this question, Zhang Cuihua was like a mouse that had seen a cat: "It's my fault, I won't dare to do it again, but this money isn't enough. Her brother borrowed ten taels of silver."

Su Yunchuan said, "Aunt, you don't have to worry. Our Su family is an upright and upright family, so we will naturally pay back the money we owe. Please give us two days. Two days later, my brother will personally come to return the remaining eight taels of silver to you, okay?"

She was neither servile nor overbearing. On the other hand, Zhang Cuihua's face was full of scoundrels. Everyone sighed at how the Su family always encountered these thieves.

"Then do you have any objections, Zhang Cuihua?"

"No more, no more." With yamen runner Wang here, she did not dare to ask for fifteen taels of silver, so she could only leave dejectedly.

After they left, Su Yunchuan bowed to Yamen runner Wang and thanked him. She had encountered a lot of difficulties in the past two days, but fortunately, she still had this kind uncle.

Yesterday, Boss Tu was indecisive because Su Yunchuan asked Yamen runner Wang to take a walk in the city to spread rumors that the only son of Xie family was looking for his benefactor so that Boss Tu would have some scruples.

How else could she, a helpless little girl, have resorted to the stratagem of the empty city?

However, she had nothing now, so she could only remember Uncle Wang's kindness in her heart and repay him in the future.

"I came here this time to tell you something, Yunchuan. Do you know that the Xie family has sent someone to Suzhou and is now a guest in the City Lord's Mansion?"

When these words came out, the Sus were stunned. Could it be that the Xie family really sent someone to find Su Yunchuan?

After all, Su Yunchuan was about to die in another year. Could it be that the Xie family still remembered the agreement?

Su Yunchuan also fell silent. If Yamen runner Wang did not lie to her, then if the Xie family really came, would she choose to fulfill this engagement?

However, she was a modern person after all, and she could not accept this kind of arranged marriage.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yunchuan earnestly asked Uncle Wang, "I know about this, but I don't think it has anything to do with me. I plan to find Boss Tu and exchange this piece of jade for some money."

"Part of it will be used to pay off the debt, and the other part will be used to change places. My mother's body is getting weaker and weaker, and we plan to go to Suzhou to find a better doctor."

Yamen runner Wang knew that after this incident, the Sus could no longer stay in L City, so he stopped persuading her. Everyone had their own ambitions.

In the afternoon, Su Yunchuan brought Su Tunan to Boss Tu and told him about her idea of exchanging jade for money.

Boss Tu had long known that the Xie family was in L City. At this time, Su Yunchuan sent the jade over, which also gave him the chance to get on the Xie family's boat. He couldn't ask for more, so he gave Su Yunchuan two hundred taels of silver.

Walking out of the side door with the heavy silver in his hand, he came upon a group of people entering through the front door.

The man walking in front wasn't very old, but his face was as cold as ice.

Even Su Yunchuan, who was used to seeing all kinds of handsome men in modern times, was surprised and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

As if he sensed her gaze, the man turned his head and met Su Yunchuan's clear eyes.

Su Tunan coughed, trying to pull her attention back.

Su Yunchuan's face turned red. She did not expect to see a man distracted one day. It was so embarrassing.

Tu Manor.

Just as Xie Baishi entered, Boss Tu welcomed him with a smile: "Young Master Xie is tired from the long journey, and the mansion has just prepared some food. Please go in and rest!"

"Who was that woman just now?"

He did not expect Xie Baishi to ask such a question. Boss Tu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "He's just a poor relative in trouble."

When Su Yunchuan returned home, she opened the package that contained the silver taels. A few shining silver ingots made everyone exclaim in shock.

"Mom, Qingqing wants to eat the ice-sugar gourds!"

"Alright, I'll get your father to buy them for you in the market later!"

Su Tunan could not stop smiling, but he had gotten used to listening to Su Yunchuan's words for the past few days. He turned his head and asked her, "Sister, how are we going to spend this money?"

Only Mrs Su had a worried expression on her face. That piece of jade was Su Yunchuan's token of marriage. Now that it was gone, how could she hope to reunite with the Xie family?

Su Yunchuan hugged her and said, "Mom, there's still one hundred and sixty-seven taels of silver left after we pay off the family debt. You've been in good health these past few days."

"Boss Tu told me that there is a doctor in Suzhou who is best at treating palpitations. As long as Mother's health is good, we will be happy. Don't think too much about it."

"That's right, Mother. In the future, we will find a good family for sister. It would be best if he stays close to us. If he dares to treat my sister badly, I will beat him to death!" Su Tunan waved his fist, and his serious look made everyone laugh.

Liu Mulan also tried to persuade her, "Mom, let's not talk about anything else. The Dream Window is also at the age to go to private school. No matter what, Suzhou is better than L City. Maybe in the future, you will even be bestowed with a title!"

"But there is one more thing that I can't let go of."

As Mrs Su spoke, she started to sob, "Your father has nothing to lose. How could he be the one who stole the money? It's a pity that no one asks the words of us orphans and widows. Now that we're leaving, leaving your father alone here, I have three requests that you must fulfill.
