Chapter 45 When did we split up
When everyone heard that they could rest, they were all energetic and quickly accelerated their pace.
After arriving at the place, Yun Yi took Xiao Chenrui to find a corner and sat down, handed him the water bag: "Drink a few sips of water first, and then eat slowly."
A yamen runner shouted, "In two quarters of an hour, line up to get food, go to the front to pay the bank according to the head, five taels per person."
When Mrs. He heard that she had to pay the money, she thought a lot after a while. She thought that there were so many people in her family, and she paid the money for 75 taels of silver. It was because Brother Hao was too young and didn't have to pay it.
It was also the yamen runners in charge of their team that gave them convenience. They didn’t look at other teams, no matter how old you were, they were all based on the head.
On the day of the accident, He grabbed a handful of silver from the box in a panic and hid it on his body. He wanted to take it again, but the officers and soldiers broke in and didn't give her a chance at all.
Because I was panicked at that time, I didn't find that there was less money in the box.
I only regretted that I was slowing down one step and did not get the silver notes in the box.
Seeing that everyone was already queuing up to pay the money, He turned his eyes and whispered to the old lady: "Mother, the incident happened suddenly that night, and my daughter-in-law didn't bring much money. Now she has to pay the money. There are so many people in our big house, but I really can't afford it in the second house."
The old lady looked up at her: "What do you want?"
He looked at Yun Yi not far away: "Before leaving the capital, I saw the young master of the Lu family sending Yun Yi a bag of things. I guess there was also money in it, so it would be better to let them pay the money by themselves."
The old lady narrowed her eyes and said, "There are only four people in the second house. Brother Hao doesn't have to hand over it yet because he is young. You can't tolerate them now?"
Now that this is the case, He doesn't care about anything else: "Mother, now it's not as good as before in the mansion, and his daughter-in-law really doesn't have the ability to care about them anymore."
The old lady was also a little angry: "Don't forget that you were managing everything in the mansion before. Are you trying to make someone poke the backbone of our Xiao family?"
He said, "One time and another time, we were in the mansion before, but now we are on the road to exile. We don't know if we can survive, so we have no mind to take care of others."
The old lady looked at the eldest son beside her: "Renli, what do you mean?"
Xiao Renli was devoted to reading the books of sages before, and he had almost never cared about the affairs of his family. In this situation, he really didn't know what to do.
Just looking at He: "Do you really have no money to pay the second house?"
He said, "The young master of the Lu family clearly stuffed a bag of things to them, so why did we have to pay the money unless the siblings handed over the bag to the roadside for safekeeping."
Although Yun Yi was a little far away from them, they could hear the conversation clearly, thinking that He was really good at calculating, just dreaming.
The yamen runners began to urge people to pay the money quickly, otherwise there would be no food to eat in the next day.
He made up his mind and shouted at Yun Yi: "Yun Yi, come here."
Xiao Chenrui wanted to follow him, but Yun Yi did not let him follow him, but handed him Brother Hao in his arms: "Don't move around, have a good rest here, I will do everything."
Yun Yi stood up and went to the old lady: "Grandma, aunt, call me over, but is there something wrong?"
He said, "The yamen runners asked to pay the money from the head, and your second wife gave the money to your uncle, so that he could pay it together."
Yun Yi looked at her grandmother: "Grandmother, what does this mean? When did we split up?"
