Chapter 69: The Blackmailer

"It's her!" The third aunt clapped her hands and said, "I heard it from the Tian family, I can't be wrong! I heard that their family is one of the largest in Shuangliu County! If you speak, most likely you will agree!"

"But, after all, we haven't been in contact for several years, and we don't even remember what that cousin Fang Qing looked like, so rashly borrowing money from others, isn't it..." Lian Ze said hesitantly.

Lian Fangzhou subconsciously remembered the incident when Grandma Liu brought Ban'er into Jia's mansion. Do you want to draw a gourd in the same way?

After thinking about it, after all, the temptation to grow cotton is too great, she gritted her teeth and said, "Since it's not too late, I will go with Aze tomorrow, and you can stay at home with the third aunt!" Lian Fangzhou glanced at two small ones.

"I'll go too!" said Ah Jian, who has not spoken, "this journey is not too close, I'll go with you!"

Everyone invariably remembered what happened on the way back when they first met Ah Jian, and even Fangzhou did not refuse, so he smiled and said, "Okay! The three of us will go together!"

After a pause, Lian Fangzhou said again: "The charcoal burner, I'll tell Aunt Zhang later!"

A few people discussed it for a while. Lian Fangzhou hurriedly went to Aunt Zhang's house to clarify the matter, and when he came back, he asked if he had sent the charcoal to his uncle and aunt. It's enough to hear Lian Ze say that it has been delivered.

A night without words.

Early the next morning, Lian Fangzhou, Ajian, and Lian Ze went out. No one in the village had a horse-drawn carriage, so the three of them had no choice but to rent another horse-drawn carriage when they went to the county seat.

When we arrived at the county seat, the sun had just risen, and the cool mist in the morning was chilly.

The three of them each ordered a bowl of noodle soup from the stall on the roadside, and after they finished eating, they went to the carriage store to pick a carriage.

After quickly negotiating the price, we set off for Shuangliu County.

Lian Fangzhou was actually a little uneasy in his heart. After all, the so-called cousin has no impression at all. She is now rich and rich. She said that she borrowed money, and she will definitely pay it back in the future, but others may not believe it! In other people's eyes, he is just a beater of the autumn wind!

If it weren't for the rare opportunity, Lian Fangzhou would not be able to give up this face no matter what.

"By the way," Lian Fangzhou suddenly asked, "I don't know what happened to our cousin before leaving the pavilion? Should..."

Lian Ze shook his head and said: "The specifics are not very clear, anyway, it is definitely not a wealthy family."

Lian Fangzhou was silent, thinking to himself, how could the Su family be willing to hire her to their only seedling? This thing is too weird. Could this cousin be just a concubine? If so, it will be difficult!

Lian Fangzhou just murmured in his heart, and Lian Ze had already asked: "Sister, you said that the third aunt said that the Su family was so rich, how could she marry Fang cousin as her daughter-in-law? Could it be that the third aunt lied?"

The two siblings have been discussing speculations for a while, but they can't come to a conclusion, but they become more and more puzzled.

In the end, A-Jian couldn't help laughing and said: "What's there to guess? Anyway, it's already halfway there, won't you know when it's over? Besides, our purpose is to borrow money, how did they get married to us? What's the point of saying that?"

As soon as he spoke, even Fangzhou and Lian Ze laughed.

"You're right, you'll know when you arrive!" Lian Fangzhou smiled, and the three of them started talking about other homely things, but they weren't lonely.

Suddenly, the carriage paused heavily and stopped.

The carriage shook violently, and Lian Fangzhou lifted the curtain and looked out. There were green hills on both sides, and it was still halfway there!

"What's the matter?" she asked the coachman.

The driver had already jumped out of the carriage to look at the wheels, and said, "The car is broken, girl, I'm afraid it's a little hard to go!"

"How could this be!" Lian Fangzhou frowned and got out of the car.

Lian Ze and Ah Jian also followed.

"Is it badly broken? Can it be repaired?" Lian Ze asked.

"Look what little brother said!" The driver laughed and said, "Xiu can do it, but how can you do it if you can't go to the village or the store! Hey, I'm really unlucky, this trip was a waste, and I earned this A few hard-earned money is not enough to repair the car, and my horse, I have to rest for several days after such a long trip back, I would have known it would not come..."

Lian Fangzhou heard that the coachman was complaining and complaining, but every word was not separated from a single word of money, so he could hear something different.

Lian Ze was really anxious, looking at the broken carriage with a worried look on his face.

Ah Jian, however, looked at the carriage carefully for a moment, and said lightly, "There is no problem with your carriage at all. How can you say it is broken?"

The driver was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "How come it's not broken? Didn't you feel the big movement in the car just now? I don't know my own car? If it's good, can I stop it? What do you know? ,Freeze said!"

"This way," Ah Jian said, "you sit in the carriage, and I'll drive the car."

"No way!" The coachman said without thinking: "This is my carriage, and the horse is mine too. How do I know if your driver will deliberately go on a rampage and toss my horse and carriage!"

Ajian wanted to say more, Lian Fangzhou gently tugged at his sleeve, looked at the coachman with a fixed gaze, and asked, "Just say what you want?"

Lian Fangzhou's question was direct and explicit. Although the driver was thinking Xiao Jiujiu, he couldn't help but ask her like this, and immediately glared at her a little embarrassedly and shouted, "What do you mean?"

"I should ask you this," Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, "Let me have a good word! Are you going to catch this car or not?"

Although the driver was embarrassed, he had to endure it—who told him that he was thinking about it in the first place?

He didn't give happy words, but said a lot of long-winded words, to the effect that the carriage was broken. If he insisted on continuing to move forward, it would be fine, but it would cause greater damage to the carriage, and the horse would be even more tired. He will also struggle more, so the price can't be agreed before. Three words, the price must be raised!

A Jian and Lian Ze were stunned, and Lian Fangzhou laughed angrily.

The most irritating thing was his tone, but he reluctantly drove the car, and even Fangzhou and the others had to thank him and accept his affection for the price.

It would be fine if he meant it a little bit more. Lian Fangzhou, for the sake of hurrying on the road, swallowed his disgust, but the originally promised four coins became two or four coins, and Lian Fangzhou's three Everyone is annoyed.

"Don't deceive people too much! How can you do this for the price you clearly stated! You are so inauthentic!" Lian Ze said angrily.

"Why am I not being authentic?" the driver said, "Didn't I explain the reason for the extra money just now? I'll take care of it wherever I go! I can't get the extra 2 taels of silver, barely enough for repairs. It's just a car!"

As for what Ah Jian said just now that the carriage was not broken, it was automatically ignored by the coachman.

Thank you for the reward of the beautiful goddess! Ah Jian has come out, I'll do what I say, (^o^)/~
