Xie Shian walked around the street for a day.
He went to teahouses, restaurants, dental rooms, gambling houses... As soon as those people heard that his name was Xie Shi'an, they immediately laughed at him and kicked him out.
The Xie family's affairs came out one after another. It was so big that most people in the capital knew about it.
It was impossible for him to find a job to make a living.
I finally found a bookstore that could help illiterate people write letters. They only paid ten cents for a letter. Even if I wrote a hundred letters a day, I would only get one tael of silver.
One tael of silver can't even afford the inkstone that Fang used in the past.
Such a hard job can't even earn the daily necessities, so why bother?
Xie Shian returned to Xie's house with a dejected look.
He returned to his yard, and Sanjiu still served him food. After eating, he got up and went to the yard where Yuanshi was.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard voices coming from inside.
"Madam, our life is getting more and more difficult..." Tingyu held the handkerchief and cried, "When Brother Yun and Brother Kang are growing, Brother Yun is just fine, and Brother Kang is growing. It’s time to drink milk. I can’t afford a wet nurse... Look at Brother Kang, he’s lost a lot of weight. If he continues like this, I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive.”
Ever since Aunt Tao left, Brother Kang has been taking care of Yuanshi in the yard. Yuanshi is also served by a loyal old woman. With her mother-in-law helping her in everything, she feels more relaxed. Otherwise, she would not know how to live like this. How to survive.
She said: "My family doesn't have any income now. If we spend money recklessly and lavishly, sooner or later we will be left with nothing..."
All the men in the family were dead and all the money was spent. She pawned her jewelry over the years to get a hundred taels of silver.
I think back then, the Xie family’s monthly expenses were more than a thousand taels of silver. Such good days were gone forever...
In the past, with Yunchu as her daughter-in-law in charge, she didn't have to worry about anything. Now that it's her turn to be in charge, every penny she spends can be divided into two pennies to spend...
"Madam, do you know that Madam eats and drinks every day..." Tingyu bit her lower lip, "Madam, she chose to stay in the Xie family, but she didn't consider the Xie family at all. She Obviously I can take care of Brother Kang, I can obviously make everyone less miserable, but yet..."
Before she finished speaking, Xie Shian walked in from the door.
"Are Aunt Yu blaming mother?" He said in a clear voice, "My mother married into the Xie family, that is, the Xie family. My Xie family should support my mother, but now my mother relies on the Yun family's support to maintain her previous life. Life, is it possible that Aunt Yu still wants the Yun family to support the entire Xie family? Why? Why? Why did you betray your mother and crawl into your father's bed? Why do you think I'm not your mother's biological son? Why?"
His words made Tingyu's face turn red and white.
She never expected that Xie Shian would defend his wife...
Madam's life is the same as before the Xie family's accident, and Xie Shi'an is in such a state of desolation. Doesn't such a comparison make Xie Shi'an feel the slightest resentment?
"Brother An is right." Yuanshi nodded, "When people are down and out, they will be less able to ask for help, otherwise they will always be inferior to others in the future."
Tingyu wrung her fingers.
She is a slave, she doesn't care if she is inferior to others, she just wants to make the life in front of her easier.
She said: "But if you don't ask for help, you will always be under others. Without my wife to step forward, our Xie family will be like this for the rest of our lives. Young Master, your life will stop here."
Xie Shi'an looked at Ting Yu and said, "Aunt Yu, the reason why you are so eager for your mother to help the Xie family is because Brother Yun has debts from the court. How about this, I will take care of Brother Yun's debts."
Tingyu's face burst into disbelief: "Is this true?"
Brother Yun had a huge sum of more than 80,000 taels of silver on her head. This debt crushed her completely.
She never expected that Xie Shian would take the initiative to recognize the money.
She didn't dare to show too much surprise and asked cautiously: "Are there any conditions?"
"Aunt Yu is really smart." Xie Shian said calmly, "I plan to do business and need capital. Aunt Yu gave me one hundred taels of silver, which will be used to deduct the one thousand taels of silver I owe. In other words, Aunt Yu only needs Give me more than eight thousand taels of silver, and Brother Yun will be debt-free from now on."
"Eight, eight thousand taels..." Tingyu smiled bitterly, "The young master thinks too highly of me."
She has been serving in the Yun family since she was a child, and the monthly silver plus the daily silver reward, accumulated over the years, is less than a thousand taels.
After becoming the aunt of the Xie Mansion, although she was half a master, because she had no dowry, she had no other income except monthly silver...
How could she afford eight thousand taels of silver?
"Aunt Yu can't come up with it, so I'll find a way to raise the capital on my own." Xie Shi'an said every word, "I gave Aunt Yu a chance. Aunt Yu, please don't blame me for not shouldering the responsibility of being the eldest brother in the future. "
He said and left.
Tingyu grabbed him and said, "Can I give you some first and then slowly later?"
Xie Shi'an nodded very kindly: "Okay, then Aunt Yu will give me the IOU from the court. When the eight thousand taels are cleared, I will put my fingerprint on the IOU."
Yunchu returned home at nightfall.
Tingfeng told her everything that happened in the Xie family.
She sighed once again, Xie Shi'an is really a talent, he can find a way out in such a desperate situation.
Although Tingyu was just an aunt, she was also a mother. For Brother Yun, she would definitely go out of her way to collect eight thousand taels of silver.
"Ting Yu is really not a thing. Why did Madam treat her so badly? She insists on dragging Madam with her to plot against Madam!" Ting Feng said angrily, "She didn't even think about it carefully. The Xie family has become like this. She Shouldn't I come to Madam to confess and seek a way out?"
"Because she knows Madam won't pay attention to her." Tingxue changed the subject and handed over several drawings, "These are some locations sent by Uncle Chen. Please take a look at Madam."
This was the place chosen for the shelter. Yun Chu looked at it seriously.
Before doing this, she read ancient books from past dynasties. Since the Southern Dynasties, those in power would build some shelters. However, due to the funding being passed down through the layers, there was a big problem of corruption. The money was actually used for widows, widows and lonely people. There are very few people, and besides, the court only allocates one-time funds to the shelter institutions. It is almost impossible for the court to provide money in the future...
Wars require money, floods and droughts occur from time to time, money is needed to resettle refugees, and city walls and official roads are built from time to time. Money is everywhere...the money needed by shelter institutions is always placed at the back and is always ignored...
This is why, even though there are court shelters, beggars can still be seen everywhere on the streets.
She doesn’t have that much ability to help all the homeless people.
Being a widower and lonely, she can only choose to help the least capable orphans, that is, children who have lost their parents, or children who have been abandoned.
