He hurriedly walked to the door of Xie's mansion.
But he was stopped by the two boys guarding the door: "The aunt in the backyard is not allowed to leave the house without Madam's permission."
He knew that the Xie Mansion had this rule, but he never expected that he would be bound by this rule.
I think back when she was He's mother, because she served the adults and gained their trust, no one in the family dared not give her face.
At that time, she could go wherever she wanted to go to the Xie Mansion. No one dared to stop her whenever she wanted to go to the Xie Mansion. Everyone respectfully called her "Mom" and no one dared to shame her in front of her.
But now, from a servant to a half-master, she is even more statusless than when she was a slave.
In the past, she relied on adults, and she was like a fish in water in the house.
Now that the adults are all impatient with her, she can only rely on herself. First, get some money in hand to make those girls and women willing to do things for her.
Thinking of this, Mr. He went to Shengju again.
After Ting Shuang went in to report, he took He into the side hall.
Yun Chu put down the account book in his hand and said, "What is Aunt He doing out of the house? As far as I know, you are from Jizhou, and your natal family is also in Jizhou. If you want to buy anything, there is a servant girl in the house, please give me instructions." Just one word."
Mr. He lowered his head and said, "I have saved some money in the bank, and I want to take it out. I don't worry about leaving this matter to others."
"You really can't be careless about money." Yun Chu nodded, "But it's still a bit unsafe for you to leave the house as a woman. I'll send you a driver."
He quickly thanked him.
The carriage arrived at the busy city and stopped at the entrance of the bank. He asked the driver to wait where he was. She walked around the bank and went to the alley next to it.
There is a small courtyard that belongs to her in this alley. When she first came to the capital with Xie Jingyu, she was temporarily not allowed to enter the Xie Mansion, so she lived here with her three children for several years. He Xu was thrown out of the Xie Mansion, so he must have come here.
She walked to the door of the yard and took the key to open the door, but it couldn't be opened.
An aunt at the door of the neighboring courtyard who had known her well said, "Ms. He, I haven't seen you for many years. After your courtyard was sold, I thought I would never see you again."
Mr. He was surprised: "I'm not selling this yard."
"Half a year ago, your brother's dentist sold the house for only 1,200 taels of silver." The aunt shook her head and said, "I wanted to tell you in advance, but I didn't know where you lived. I met your brother on the street half a month ago, and he was friends with a few gamblers. Madam He, you have to be careful."
He's heart suddenly sank.
This yard was actually sold at a low price by her bastard brother.
It cost 1,800 taels of silver to buy it originally. Now that the land in the capital is expensive, it can be sold for around 3,000 taels anyway. How dare he sell it for only 1,000 taels.
When he was in Jizhou, he gambled every day, and it took her a lot of effort to get him to change. He promised her that he would never enter a casino after coming to the capital. She always thought that he kept his promise, but she didn't expect it. , he actually sold the yard behind her back.
She still had two thousand taels of silver in his hands. Needless to say, it was definitely gone.
He Shi forced a smile and chatted with his aunt for a few words, then immediately walked towards the Beijing Casino.
As soon as she walked to the door, she saw a man being punched and kicked, covering his head and begging frantically for mercy.
"See, this is what happens if you don't repay the money you owe our casino!" A strong man picked up the beaten man lying on the ground and punched him hard. "This is just a little interest. If you don't repay it within three days, Money, just cut it off with your fingers!”
The people watching on the side were so frightened that they backed away.
He screamed and rushed over: "Let him go!"
The strong man stared at Mr. He coldly: "Who are you? If you help him pay off the debt, we will let him go!"
He Xu seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and said loudly: "I owe them twenty taels of silver, including principal and interest. Please help me pay it back!"
He took a deep breath.
Borrowing two taels and paying back twenty taels. Isn't this stealing money?
Not to mention twenty taels, she didn't even have twenty cents on her.
"Don't you have jewelry on you? Take it out quickly, or I will be beaten to death!"
As soon as He Xu finished speaking, the fists of several strong men nearby came down. After a while, his face was swollen into a steamed bun.
No matter what, he is still his biological brother. He's not so hard-hearted and watched her biological brother being beaten by a group of people. She quickly said: "Okay, okay, I'll pay him back."
She took off the two green bracelets on her wrists, the hairpin on her head, and a ring and handed them over.
The strong man took the thing and shook it: "It's still sensible, so I'll treat it as repaid, and get out of here!"
He Xu climbed up from the ground, pulled He Shi and left.
"The condition I brought you to the capital is that you are not allowed to gamble again, but now you have lost everything, can you be worthy of me?" He really wanted to strangle him, "Go back to Jizhou now, don't Get me into trouble here!”
He Xu sneered: "You have become the aunt of the Xie family, so you don't take me as your biological brother seriously, right? Hurry up, give me money, and I will make up for it."
He's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
Her yard was sold, her two thousand taels of silver were gone, all her jewelry was gone, and all her trump cards were completely ruined. She didn't say anything, but this bastard even beat her up!
"I only have these few pennies left, give them to you, give them all to you!" Mr. He threw the copper plate on the ground, "I will treat you as my brother!"
She turned and left.
She originally thought that He Xu would catch up, but when she turned around, she saw her brother squatting on the ground, picking up the coins one by one, and then walked towards the casino again.
He was so disappointed that she shouldn't have brought He Xu to the capital.
Now that she had no time to take care of herself, she couldn't care about He Xu anymore. Even if he was beaten to death by the casino people, he deserved it.
After Mr. He left, a boy came out from the corner of the street and walked to He Xu: "Manager He can't play twice with just these few copper coins. It's better to borrow more copies."
He Xu sighed: "Those banks require the house's jewelry as collateral before they can lend it."
"I know a place where you can use your fingers and arms to mortgage, and you can borrow ten taels of silver with one finger." The boy was good at gambling, "Manager He is very good at gambling, but he has some bad luck. I believe that if I come here a few more times, I will definitely I can win back all the thousands of taels of silver I lost before..."
As expected, He Xu was moved and followed the boy to a small alley nearby...
Tingfeng reported the matter to Yun Chuting in detail.
Yunchu was lighting incense. She fiddled with the ashes and said in a light voice: "Fingers and arms are only worth a few dollars. You can ask someone to tell him that he can borrow two hundred taels by using the most important thing in a man as collateral."
Tingfeng stayed where he was.
Tingshuang pushed her: "Hurry up and go."
Yunchu closed the incense burner, and the light pine scent spread in the room.
In the last life, Tingfeng and Tingxue were abused by He Xu, so let's get rid of that harmful thing in the crotch first so that He Xu has no chance to abuse any girl in this life.
