Fate of the Stupid Son Chapter 23

“No need for the silver in your hand.”

“Huh?”

Song Wangyue stepped forward.

Song San Xiao reacted as an afterthought. June’s day broke out in a cold sweat as two large steps caught up with her, “Yue’er, you’re crazy, that’s money that has to be returned to the Gu family.”

One hundred and thirty taels was enough for their Song family to drink, if they spent the rest as well, he couldn’t even imagine.

After the three months were up, if she couldn’t pay back the money and Yue’er was really betrothed to that fool, how would Mother and Big Brother react?

“With just a little bit of cold skin we sell, to pay back the Gu family’s silver in three months is a pipe dream, we can only think of another way.”

This was Song Wan Yue’s purpose, coming to sell cold skin was just a front, pharmaceuticals and medicine was her real purpose, and this purpose could not be told to the family, only to let Third Uncle know.

Song San Xiao already felt that he was close to being killed, so he stood in front of Song Wan Yue, saying that he would not let her take another step forward: “Yue’er, third uncle, please, don’t let third uncle be the only one in the pit, okay? Why don’t we go back and let your second uncle accompany you?”

He was a bit unprofessional and lazy, but he couldn’t take all the blame for this, could he? If Yue’er spent the rest of the silver today, no matter who in the family found out, a beating from him would be inevitable.

“Your second uncle is the main labourer in the family, even if the family found out, they wouldn’t break his arms and legs. Not so with Third Uncle, who would literally be beaten to death.”

Song Wangyue looked at him, a smile slowly surfacing on her face.

For some reason, Song Sanxiao felt a little creepy, the back of his spine was cold, “Yue, Yue’er, you, don’t look at Third Uncle like that, Third Uncle is scared, scared ……”

“Third Uncle, ah, you say, if I go back to my family and tell them that you cheated the rest of the silver out of my hands, guess what grandparents will do to you?”

What would they do to him? That’s no need to ask, they would definitely be righteous and beat him to death as an unfilial son.

No, that’s not right! When did he cheat on the silver?

Song San Xiao’s eyes were wide, “You, you, you ……”

“Third uncle ah, anyway how you are still beaten up, why not follow me and bet, if we earn big money and make up the three hundred taels of silver, grandparents will naturally no longer blame you, it doesn’t matter if we can’t make up the money, anyway, you are now kicked out of the house, how much worse can it get?”

“That’s easy for you to say, I’ll stay out for a month or two, and I’ll be able to go back when my family’s anger subsides. But if the silver is finished by you, I won’t be able to go back for the rest of my life.”

Song Wan Yue sighed, “Third Uncle, I always thought you were the most understanding person in the family, why are you suddenly confused? As long as the silver can’t be raised and I’m forced to settle with the Gu family, you’re a sinner and you won’t be able to go home for the rest of your life.”

Song San Xiao froze, as if he saw the scenario that he would not be able to enter his own family’s door for the rest of his life, he suddenly let out another cold sweat of fear, “I, I ……”

“Come on, let’s put up a fight, maybe we can pay back the silver.”

The first thing you need to do is to tell your uncle what you want to do, so he can have an idea in his mind.”

“Third uncle just give me a cover, don’t worry about anything else.”

He just wanted to know what Song Wangyue wanted to do with the medicine. But no matter how much he asked, Song Wangyue just wouldn’t say.

Song Wangyue went to the Jishi Hall, where she skillfully named a few herbs and asked the man to wrap them up.

When he saw that just a few herbs had cost more than ten taels of silver, Song San’s heart throbbed with pain.

After leaving the hall, she muttered, “This is an immortal herb, is it so expensive?”

Song Wan Yue pursed her lips, “This is silver.”

Song San Xiao brushed her lips, “You just know how to fool your third uncle.”

The two of them went to buy something to pound the herbs and a scale to weigh the herbs, before going to the spice shop from last time and buying a lot of dried chillies.

The spice shop owner was so happy that he automatically reduced the price for the two of them without waiting for the price to be quoted, and gave them a free cloth pocket.

Song Sanxiao put the medicine bag in the pocket and carried it back to the marketplace.

Song Shu had already packed up, there were too many tables, chairs and benches to fit on the ox cart, and they were worried.

Song Sanxiao directly patted his chest, “You don’t need to worry about it, go back first, just ask my brothers to come and move it later, and have them send it over in the morning.”

Song Shu was not sure, he had spent a lot of silver on this.

“Let’s go, Second Uncle, I’m tired and want to go home early to rest.”

As soon as he heard Song Wan Yue say that she was tired, Song Shu immediately ignored the table, chairs and benches, took the ox cart, told her to get up and sit down quickly, and drove the ox cart out of the city.

It was the hottest time of the year and there were no pedestrians on the road, so Song Shen couldn’t help himself, “Mother, take out the money from today’s sale and let’s count it.”

Song Shen had never seen such a large amount of coins before and was so excited that she wanted to shout out loud.

Song Shu and Liu Cui Lan were also very happy, although in the past, their elder brother had been able to sell several taels of silver at once after hunting, but that was not often. From today onwards, they would be able to earn so much money every day. No, counting what they gave to Yue Hak Lai Restaurant, it was even more than that.

Although her heart was happy, Liu Cui Lan knew the principle of not revealing her wealth, “What’s the hurry, we’ll count it at home.”

“Mother, I’ll count it in secret! Not to mention people, I won’t even let the birds in the sky see it.”

Song Shen begged.

“Shut up!”

Song Shu barked, Song Shen immediately became honest, only his eyes were still moving and he kept giving Song Wan Yue a wink, signalling her to speak, he really wanted to count the money.

Song Wangyue lost her smile and softened her voice, “Second Aunt, I want to count it too.”

The soft voice of Nong entered her ears, and Liu Cui Lan, who still remembered the principle of not revealing her wealth, immediately took out the money bag and placed it in front of her, “Here.”

Her greatest wish in life was to have a daughter, but the gods had turned against her and given her two boys. If this kid hadn’t taken her place, she would have given birth to a daughter.

Song Shen had long been accustomed to being treated differently, and looked at the money bag with bated breath.

“Second brother, you help me.”

Before Song Wan Yue’s words had even fallen, Song Shen had already impatiently stretched out his hand and poured out all the coins with a clatter, tossing the money bag aside and starting to count them one by one.

……

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the other side.

“Old man, do you think they will be able to sell out today?”

Grandma Song had asked this question countless times before, but the old man was holding a dry tobacco bag and looking into the distance, “I’m sure they’ll sell out! That’s the food our Yue’er has worked out.”
