Chapter 141: Taking the Silver Hairpin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Pastries that cost 20 copper coins per piece were not cheap. This was equivalent to more than one tael of silver per catty.

However, the river in Nanchang County made the place convenient and accessible. There was a large flow of people, and Nanchang County belonged to the Jiangnan area. There were many rich people, so Chu Xing was very busy. He drove the mule cart and waited for Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen at the city gate.

“Xing, there’s a letter for you.” When he walked to the teahouse at the city gate, someone called out to him. Chu Xing quickly went to get the letter and saw the words ‘Chu Heng’ on it.

Chu Xing knew at a glance that it was for his sister-in-law. He was illiterate, but he knew the simple words. After all, he ran around doing business. If he did not know how to read, he would be easily cheated.

Thus, he learned some words from Chu Heng.

In the village, Tang Rou had suffered a loss at Ye Muyu’s hands in the morning, so she angrily returned home.

She did not see Madam Wang or Tang Xueren, and there was no one in the house. She turned around and went back to her own room, thinking about what to do in the future.

Madam Ye obviously did not want to get along well with her. It was not appropriate to enter the Chu family by relying on Madam Ye.

In that case, she could only ask Madam Ye to give up their position.

Tang Rou thought about Ye Muyu’s body and gritted her teeth, thinking about how to put a slow poison into Ye Muyu’s medicine.

Before she could think of anything, someone came back from outside.

Tang Rou did not dare to reveal any flaws. Before she married Chu Heng, she make sure Madam Wang would not arrange a marriage for her.

Tang Rou thought this and left the room.

She thought that Madam Wang had returned, but she bumped into Tang Chuan.

When Tang Chuan saw Tang Rou, his hatred instantly surfaced. He walked up to Tang Rou and angrily said, “Tang Rou, it’s great. Because of you, I’m now in Class C.”

“Give me twenty taels. Otherwise, I will definitely tell Father about this. At that time, no matter how you scheme, it will be useless.” Tang Chuan laughed coldly. He was not afraid that Tang Rou would not give it to him.

He even knew that Tang Rou liked Chu Heng.

Tang Chuan did not plan to drop out of school. After all, no matter how bad the atmosphere in Class C was, he could still get into Class B with his own efforts. However, if he returned to the village, his father might not want him to study anymore.

This was not what he wanted to see.

Tang Chuan wanted to leave a way out for himself, and Tang Rou was obviously the best person to use.

“What did you say?” Tang Rou screamed, “Twenty taels? Why don’t you go rob?”

“You still have the nerve to say that. If you didn’t look for me and ask me to help you ask Chu Heng out and complete a good deed with you, I wouldn’t have been schemed against by Chu Heng and thrown into Class C. It’s all your fault, so give me twenty taels. If you don’t have it, don’t blame me for being rude.” Tang Chuan snorted.

Tang Rou was angry and shocked.

“You wouldn’t get twenty taels even if you sold me.” Tang Rou gritted her teeth, not wanting to retreat.

She Imew that the Tang family was a bunch of ingrates with a big appetite. If it was not for the fact that she wanted to get close to Chu Heng and become the future wife of a first-grade official, she would never want to work with the Tang family.

“Then I’ll sell you. You’re not young anymore anyway.” Tang Chuan nodded.

“You!” Tang Rou was so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to strangle

Tang Chuan to death.

“What?” Tang Chuan asked impatiently. “Are you unwilling?”

“I don’t have twenty taels.” Tang Rou took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. “Then how much do you have? Don’t tell me it’s only a few taels. I know you have a silver hairpin that can be sold for at least ten taels.” Tang Chuan smiled at her..
