Chapter 33 Wife, I Can Do It

Boom!

Under the dim oil lamp, the little kid secretly put a fried peanut into his mouth, chewed it up, and had a happy face.

The small eyes looked at the two adults under the oil lamp.

At this time, the two adults were seen. The elder sister looked worried, and the brother-in-law was silent, looking a little angry.

"Just be it."

Su Yunjin spoke, as if she had made a great decision, and placed her mother's copper-plated silver hairpin on the table.

Then he added, "I didn't eat much of the jar of meat oil at home, so I should be able to sell it for some money."

"As for the food at home, keep five pounds for emergencies, and sell the rest. Ask the neighbors if they want any. Also..."

Su Yunjin told Chen Jie that there were things at home that could be sold.

But no matter how you calculate it, all these belongings added together can't be sold for more than two taels of silver.

But the gap is twenty-five taels. What should I do?
Su Yunjin was so anxious that she saw a blister forming under her lip.

Looking at Su Yunjin who was constantly calculating, she didn't even notice that her hair was loose. A strand of hair floated to her lips, and was eaten into her mouth while she was talking.

Seeing this, Chen Jie reached out and helped her lift her hair away.

She was stunned, then looked at Chen Jie anxiously and said, "Did you hear me?"

"Yeah, I heard that."

"So what do you think?"

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Don't worry, I have thought of a solution."

"You really can't borrow twenty-five taels from Doctor Bai. You've just become his apprentice, and you're asking him to lend you that much money. He won't lend you that much money."

Chen Jie said at this time: "Well, you are right, but I didn't ask Doctor Bai to lend me money, my lady, do you believe me?"

Su Yunjin was stunned and looked at him.

Chen Jie looked at her with eyes as soft as water. Under the dim oil lamp, their eyes met and ripples appeared in their eyes.

Su Yunjin seemed to melt under this gaze.

Boom!

Just when the two were looking at each other affectionately, a discordant voice suddenly sounded, and the little kid put another peanut into his mouth and chewed it with satisfaction.

Su Yunjin came back to her senses, her face flushed slightly, she lowered her head and continued to settle the accounts.

Chen Jie glared at the little kid fiercely, but found that the little kid ignored him. He picked his nose and saw his brother-in-law looking at him.

She grabbed a peanut with her little hand that had just picked her nose and said, "Brother-in-law, want some?"

"Eat it yourself."

"Oh."

Put it in your mouth, pop...

The little mouth moved up and down like a hamster.

Chen Jie was helpless. Seeing Su Yunjin starting to settle accounts again, he said, "My wife, it's getting late. Go to bed. I can handle this myself."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin frowned and asked, "How do you solve it?"

Chen Jie knew that if he didn't reveal some truth, his wife would not be able to sleep.

"Tomorrow, give me the eight cents in your pocket, and I'll go to my uncle Erba to borrow another two cents. When I have one ounce, I'll go find my master. I was actually framed in this matter. At the beginning..."

Chen Jie explained how he was framed.

Su Yunjin frowned, bit his lower lip, and looked thoughtful.

"If this happened in the past, we would definitely not be able to do anything, but now I have a master. My disciple has been tricked like this, so my master will definitely help me."

"But Doctor Bai..."

"My master certainly can't do that, but don't forget, my master's son-in-law is Wu Zhong, the manager of the fish pen, and he can talk to Yu Biao directly. Isn't it just a matter of a word from them? And I'm going to pay back the principal, can't we just accept our bad luck?" After hearing this, Su Yunjin finally relaxed her brows and nodded, "Husband, if that's the case, it would be great."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "You can rest assured now, Ruirui. Serve your sister some food. You didn't even have a good dinner."

Hearing Chen Jie's call, Xiao Douding immediately stood up and said, "Yes."

Then she quickly took the pork elbow and steamed buns that her brother-in-law didn't allow her to eat, put them in front of her sister, and then stared at her sister eagerly.

Chen Jie then cut the bun with a knife, stuffed a few pieces of pork elbow into it, and handed it to Su Yunjin, saying, "Try it."

Su Yunjin took the steamed bun with pork elbow from Chen Jie and took a small bite.

The little kid at the side was drooling: "Sister, what does it taste like?"

Chen Jie looked at the little kid and said, "Want to eat? This belongs to your sister."

"I'm not eating it, I just want to smell it."

Chen Jie laughed when he heard that. Su Yunjin glared at him and said, "Don't tease Ruirui. Sister can't eat it. I'll give it to you."

"No."

As Chen explained, Xiao Douding also said, "Sister eats, Ruirui is just asking, he doesn't want to eat."

Chen Jie patted Ruirui's little head and said, "You are so good. This one is for your sister. Brother-in-law will pick another one for you, okay?"

"Uh-huh."

Ruirui nodded vigorously.

Chen Jie made another one in the same way, and the two sisters ate it with great relish.

Seeing them eating so happily, Chen Jie felt a little satisfied, but when he turned around, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. Ma Liu and Yu Sanliu, these two bastards who were thinking about his wife, must not be kept.

He would never allow Su Yunjin to fall into the same situation as Cui'er who jumped into the well.

At this time in Xiantao Town, at the Yu family mansion.

Yu Sanliu was sitting in front of a table with all kinds of delicious food on it. A pretty young woman was feeding him.

Ma Liu stood behind him with his hands hanging down.

Yu Sanliu chewed the shrimp that the young woman had peeled, took a sip of wine and said, "Are you saying that Chen Jiusi became Bai Wenjing's apprentice?"

"Yes."

"Oh... this is a bit troublesome, what did you do?"

Yu Sanliu tapped his brow with his little finger.

Ma Liu said, "Then Chen Jiusi said to give him some time to repay the money he borrowed, and I agreed on my own initiative, saying that in three days, he should repay twenty-five taels including the principal and interest. If there is anything wrong, please punish me, young master."

Yu Sanliu nodded and said, "Well, since you have made the suggestion, then let's do as you say. In three days, bring people to ask for money."

"This, Master, he is Bai Wenjing's apprentice, what about Wu Zhong?"

"What happened to Bai Wenjing's apprentice? It's only natural to pay back debts. As long as there's an IOU, I dare to ask for the debt even if he's Bai Wenjing's biological father. What's there to be afraid of? We'll do what we have to do."

"Yes, Master, I understand."

Ma Liu nodded immediately, and then he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "But young master, what about the master?"

Yu Sanliu looked at Ma Liu and said, "Ma Liu, remember, you are my young master's man, and I, the old man, can handle it. Besides, the old man is searching for natural treasures in the mountains these days, so how can he have time to care about me? Haha..."

"Yes, Master, I understand. I will do as you command."

Yu Sanliu said, "Go ahead and do it."

Yu Sanliu stood up and pointed at a beautiful young woman standing behind him who had obviously cried and said, "You, come back to the room with me."

"Ah~"

The beautiful young woman was startled. Yu Sanliu came over, stared at the woman and said, "Young lady, you don't want your man to have his limbs broken, do you?"

"Be good, dear~ It's time for evening class."
