Chapter 153 There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain

Early the next morning, Bai Ruozhu found that everyone in the family was not in good spirits, and even Rong Erniang had a tired look on her face. She felt guilty because she had caused the whole family to have a bad rest by herself, which was really a sin.

Lin Ping'er was also very concerned about Fang Guizhi's situation. She took Bai Ruozhu, who had just gotten up, to the main room to ask questions. She couldn't wait for Bai Ruozhu to brush her teeth and wash her face first.

"When I went there, Guizhi was tied to a chair, and her mouth was gagged. She couldn't even sleep well and kept crying." When Bai Ruozhu thought of that scene, her heart felt as painful as a knife, "She The person fucked by her mother doesn’t look like a human or a ghost.”

"What? Why is there such a cruel mother? I'm going to talk to the village chief. I don't believe that no one can take care of their Fang family!" Lin Ping'er was impatient and was about to run away, but was stopped by Bai Bai. Ruozhu was stopped.

"Mom, don't go. The village chief can't take care of other people's housework. Even if Guizhi's mother wants to sell her, the village chief can't interfere. At most, it will just make her family unhappy in the future."

"Then, let's just let it go?" Lin Pinger wiped her tears as she spoke, and kept saying that Guizhi was a poor child.

Bai Yihong sighed and said, "I will talk to Guizhi's father today. Although he is afraid of his wife, we cannot leave Guizhi's mother to do this."

"Dad, no need, you must pretend not to know about this. I have other arrangements, so I can't scare the snake away." Bai Ruozhu said.

The whole family looked at Bai Ruozhu, wanting to wait for her to explain why, but Bai Ruozhu said, "I still have to think about it carefully, and then I can ask everyone for help."

After breakfast, the men continued to go to the ground. Lin Ping'er felt much better and started to do housework. Bai Ruozhu coaxed the child while thinking about how to rescue Fang Guizhi.

Her plan was to find a buyer, Guizhi, as a maid, and find a way to make Guizhi's mother feel that marrying Guizhi to Yang Laosan would make more money than selling her. In this way, after getting Guizhi's deed of sale, she could return it to Guizhi. She was cleared of slavery.

Fang Guizhi had money of her own, which meant that she bought herself. From then on, she could decide her own destiny, and the money from selling herself was regarded as repaying her parents for the gift of childbirth. From then on, the two of them had no debt to each other.

In this era, children who were sold by signing a death contract had nothing to do with their parents. From now on, they were just members of the master's family.

However, the person who buys Guizhi must trust it, otherwise what if Guizhi really becomes a slave? Also, this person must have a certain identity, otherwise Guizhi Niang will not be tempted.

Bai Ruozhu first thought of the Book of Eucommia, but unfortunately the Book of Eucommia was not in town, and the second thought of Mr. Li, the county magistrate, but she felt that she and Mr. Li were not familiar enough to talk about this kind of thing. If you open your mouth, Mr. Li may not even be willing to agree.

The third one, she didn't know why she thought of someone with the surname Jiang, but when she thought about it again, someone with the surname Jiang didn't quite fit.

In addition to the choice of Guizhi, there is another problem: money. Gui Zhiniang was greedy, and Bai Ruozhu guessed that the betrothal gift given by the Yang family was at least fifteen taels of silver, and she had been spending a lot of money recently, and she didn't have much money left, even with Guizhi's private money.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruozhu became even more anxious to make money. If that didn't work, she would go to the town to sell some more dried fish.

By the way, she still owes Jiang the dried fish, so let’s settle it together today.

She found a gap when no one was around and quietly went into the space to get some dried fish. Then she said hello to her mother and was about to go to town.

Rong'er's mother walked out with Rong'er and said: "I and Rong'er have been bothering you for a long time. Today I just went back to town with Ruozhu, and the house needs to be tidied up."

Lin Ping'er really wanted to keep Rong'er's mother here longer, and the two women had company to talk to together, but they had their own home after all, and Zhang Liliang might be back soon after he went on a business trip. His home had been empty for a long time and needed to be tidied up. one time.

"Then I don't want to keep you anymore, but you must come back when you are free. I'm not used to you leaving." Lin Ping'er said sincerely.

"Okay, you must come when you have time, and you should also come to my house often." Rong Erniang said with a smile.

So, when Bai Ruozhu went out, she went with Rong'er and her daughter, and Deng Deng fed her milk and entrusted it to her mother. Seeing Bai Ruozhu carrying a baggage, Rong'er Niang took the initiative and said, "What are you carrying? I'll carry it for you. Don't be tired now, lest you run out of milk."

"It's okay, it's not heavy. It's something Guizhi put here before and asked me to help her sell it." Bai Ruozhu found an excuse to explain it.

After hearing this, Rong'er Niang didn't press any further. The three of them took a donkey cart and arrived at Anyuan Town in a short while. Rong'er Niang wanted to invite Bai Ruozhu to her home for a sit-down. Bai Ruozhu felt that time was tight and she had to go home to take care of her children, so she declined.

After saying goodbye to Rong'er and her daughter, Bai Ruozhu planned to go to the county government office and hand the dried fish to Mr. Li, but she soon hesitated again. She asked Mr. Li to deliver the dried fish to the man named Jiang. If Mr. Li asked, she would How to explain?

Also, would it be bad if she only gave some to Mr. Jiang but not Mr. Li? But she planned to give twenty pieces of dried fish to Jiang, so how much would she give to Mr. Li? Mr. Li would definitely be unhappy if he didn't know about it, but if he knew it too much, would Jiang think that his money was wasted?

Anyway, this matter was a bit tangled. Bai Ruozhu hesitated for a while, and finally decided to walk around the town. Maybe she would meet someone named Jiang, and she could give him the dried fish directly.

She walked around without encountering the sharp-tongued man, but she finally saw the Du's Pharmacy. She suddenly slapped her head. Sure enough, there must be a way to the mountain. How could she forget that she still had one month's bonus left? , with the bonus, won’t you worry about money to save Guizhi?

Bai Ruozhu became happy and strode towards Du's Pharmacy. As soon as she walked in and saw shopkeeper Zhou, she directly explained her purpose. Shopkeeper Zhou laughed and said, "I still want it, do you want Zhou Fu to deliver it to you?" Afraid of being seen and ruining your affairs."

After saying that, he took out the account book from the cabinet and showed it to Bai Ruozhu, and then took out the dividend money. Bai Ruozhu didn't look at the account books carefully. She was very content and pragmatic. If Du Zhongshu really wanted to steal her money, what would she do if she found out? It's better to be happy and everyone will be happy, and she also feels that Du Zhongshu is not that kind of person.

Last month's business was very good, and her bonus was a full seventy-two taels. She sighed in her heart. If she had taken the money earlier, she could have bought a few more acres of land. But if she had spent the money earlier, She has no money to save Guizhi now.

It seems that she will still have to have dozens of taels of cash on her in case of emergency.

Bai Ruozhu asked again when Du Zhongshu would be back. When she learned that it would be about half a month, she took the silver and left with some disappointment. She found a place where no one was around, flipped her wrist, and put all the silver into the space. , this is safe.

She took the dried fish and walked to the West Market, thinking that she might meet someone named Jiang. However, she didn't go far when she heard someone behind her shouting: "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
