Although Su Ling kept emphasizing that it was not because the family could not afford the food, Su Wenlin still forced her to sit down.
"Tell the truth to the eldest brother, has something happened to the Zhu family?" After all, it was the eldest brother. Su Wenlin was just not angry. With a serious face, not to mention Su Ling, even Yuan Bao, who was chewing the drumstick silently, was a little angry.憷.
Su Ling shivered.
But still refused to speak.
After so many years of vanity, she still couldn't lower her head, even when facing her own eldest brother.
"Mingyu, come and talk to uncle." Seeing that his sister couldn't open her mouth, Su Wenlin called Zhu Mingyu to his side.
He held a big fragrant pig's trotter in his hand and asked Zhu Mingyu: "Tell uncle what happened at home, and this pig's trotter will be yours."
The child hasn't seen any oil or water in his belly for a long time, so he can't resist the temptation of such a big pig's hooves.
He nodded hurriedly and said: "Uncle, let me tell you, I will tell you now -"
After a while of burning incense, Su Wenlin heard from the niece who had just finished chewing the pig's trotters what the Zhu family had experienced in the past two years.
It's too detailed for a little kid to know clearly. Anyway, Zhu Mingyu knew that since the Mid-Autumn Festival two years ago, the food at home had plummeted, and even the clothes her mother bought for herself were much cheaper.
"Uncle! Let me report! The pearls and jade my mother wore for me today were all rented from the jewelry shop for one tael of silver! She said they have to return them before the Lantern Festival, otherwise they will have to add one tael more!"
Zhu Mingyu stared at the half-elbow on the table this time.
In the blink of an eye, his daughter was sold out.
Su Ling's face was so ugly that she wished she could dig a tunnel and go back to her parents' home.
But at this moment, she was pinned down on the chair by her two nephews and couldn't move...
Her husband just passed away some time ago, so why did it start going downhill two years ago?
How come the young owner of a pawn shop can't even afford to support his wife and children?
Su Wenlin found it incredible, and turned to ask Su Ling: "Ling'er, tell me, what's going on!"
At this point, Su Ling broke the pot and told Su Wenlin what happened two years ago.
Two years ago, the youngest son of a noble family was in need of money and stole a jade mirror from his home and pawned it at the Zhu family's pawn shop.
Chao Feng from Zhu's pawn shop thought it was not a valuable thing, but he gave it a good price for the noble man's sake.
But within a few days, the noble family discovered this and called for redemption.
Originally, according to the procedure, it was enough to give money and redeem it.
Unexpectedly, this object disappeared from the Zhu family pawn shop...
After running a pawn shop for so many years, something like this has never happened, but it happened this time.
The Zhu family searched for it for several days, but couldn't find it.
The young master of the Zhu family, Su Ling's husband, also offered to compensate with items of equal value, but the other party said that it was a good treasure with a price but no market, and they simply could not afford the money.
"Then what?" Su Wenlin heard anxiously.
Logically speaking, this matter should be reported to the official, but Su Ling also said that the noble family has very strong connections with the court, so it is probably useless to report it to the official.
At this point, Su Ling finally couldn't help it anymore, and she burst into tears: "Later... Later, they kept stumbling upon my family's officials, and my pawnshop was ruined, and our industry was also ruined. Even the house is about to be sold! My officials were so anxious that they couldn't save themselves..."
When he wrote a letter before saying that he was gone, Su Wenlin also complained that his brother-in-law was not very old, so why did he leave earlier than himself.
No matter what, there are still these twists and turns.
"What?! That's unreasonable!"
This time it was Su Junting's turn to get angry.
Mistakes in business are inevitable, but why would someone's family be ruined because of a broken mirror?
Su Ling cried so hard that people would shudder.
At this moment, Zhu Mingyu seemed to finally realize that something was wrong, and put down her elbows, sobbing and crying.
The men in the Su family also looked solemn.
Only little Yuanbao still sat obediently on the chair, swaying his legs and chewing on the chicken legs in his hand.
This is the last chicken leg on the plate.
When she finally finished the last bite, she burped with satisfaction, and then said to Su Ling: "Aunt, what do you think that mirror looks like?"
Su Ling was stunned for a moment when he was asked, but when he saw that everyone in the room was looking at him, as if they were curious about this question, he replied: "A very ordinary mirror made of jade, with brass embedded in it, oh, by the way. By the way, there are a few words engraved on the back of the mirror, what are they called... Tiandi Wuji,... Qian, Qian,..."
"Qiankun borrows the law." Yuanbao said every word.
"Ah, yes, yes!" Su Ling nodded hurriedly, then was stunned again: "How do you know?"
Yuan Bao shook his little head and sighed: "It's no wonder that family is so anxious to find it back. It's a demon mirror. There has only been one since ancient times. It is indeed a marketable and priceless treasure. They didn't lie to you."
Demon-looking mirror, demon-hunting whip, demon-suppressing tower, and demon-tying rope are the four magic weapons to eliminate demons.
They were all originally in Xiyun Temple, but later they became homeless.
The demon-hunting whip is in Yu Xuanzi's hands, and the other three are living in the world. Yu Xuanzi also said before that he hoped to have the opportunity to see these four treasures taken back into his hands in his lifetime.
Unexpectedly, this demon mirror actually arrived in Mingyue Town and brought disaster to the Zhu family.
What's wrong with looking into a demon mirror? Su Ling only knew that it was the broken mirror that turned his home into this mess.
She shed tears and said angrily: "My husband's family is down now, and my husband is dead now. I don't believe it anymore. How can I be worse?!"
This is obviously a sentence of resentment, and I hope everyone can comfort me.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Bao blinked his big eyes and answered her seriously: "Yes, you will face something worse soon."
Su Ling almost died out of breath.
She pointed at Yuan Bao's nose and said to Su Wenlin: "Brother, is this the good daughter you trained? Why is she still cursing me! What kind of bastard is this? Bah, bah, bah!"
Now that we have talked about this, everyone was very sympathetic to her just now. This time it is time to join in scolding this little one.
Su Ling was filled with determination.
Unexpectedly, several men from the Su family looked at Yuan Bao solemnly as if they were worshiping gods, and asked cautiously: "Really? When will it happen? Tell me and let your aunt make preparations."
Yuan Bao stretched out his little hand, pinched his fingers and said, "Tomorrow, there will be a bloody disaster."
