Qiao's jewelry was not exchanged for much silver.
Those jewels are expensive to beat, but you can't get them back when you go to the pawnshop.
He changed almost 300 taels of silver. This time, Qiao didn't let the injured Ruan Siyi go out. Instead, he changed his humble clothes and went out with Chuntao and mother Chen himself.
After two days, I finally bought a small house in the slum of the outer city.
On the day he moved in, Qiao explained to Ruan Siyi that there was not much money at home. Houses in the capital were expensive. Such places were also bought for more than 200 Liang.
The house is very small. It looks old outside and old inside, but it is very clean. Once you enter the courtyard, there are two main rooms, one main room and one bedroom. There is a small room on the left and right sides, one is a wing room and the other is a kitchen. There is a well in the courtyard and a toilet behind the house. Although the sparrow is small, it has five internal organs.
Then it's time to get serious.
When he bought the house, there was no furniture in it. Qiao took Chuntao Chen's mother to buy some cheap furniture. This time, Ruan Siyi had no good intention of staying in the house, but with them.
He changed into an ordinary cloth shirt. Chen's mother borrowed a board car from her neighbor. Then she went to the market under the guidance of her kind neighbor and came back with some furniture.
A big cart was piled up. Ruan Siyi overestimated his physical strength. Finally, four people pushed it back together.
After buying household belongings, items for the stove and some food, Qiao had little money left in his hand. Two days later, Qiao bit his teeth and pawned some of her and Ruan Siyi's good clothes. Although she didn't have much money, she thought about it. Anyway, she couldn't wear it in the future, and there was no need to wear silk in such a place.
It's not easy to live in Beijing.
Ruan Siyi didn't understand this before, nor did Qiao. They were all born rich and noble. They were born with gold spoons. They ate delicacies and had the best clothes. Who cares how much money a bucket of rice needs.
But now it's different, because Qiao lived on empty land and carefully calculated the last tens of liang of silver in his hand.
She began to lose face and deal with her neighbors, ask where the dishes were the freshest and cheapest, learn how to make delicious and inexpensive food with others, and buy cheap dishes with the women she knew early at the end of the market
Qiao is not like the old lady at all. She has become very ordinary and insignificant, but she has a ruddy complexion and full of spirit.
On the contrary, although Ruan Siyi was wearing a cloth shirt, he was still in the style of glory and the moon.
Just silent, silent, slowly began to lose weight
After a long time of depression, Ruan Siyi finally fell ill.
Unable to get up, Qiao hurriedly went to the doctor. A dose of soup and medicine was poured down, but it didn't help
The more money you spend, the less money you spend
Chuntao once said he would accompany Qiao all his life. Suddenly, he said that there was a family in the alley who was willing to marry her. Although the man was almost forty and had a child, he was a good man. Chuntao said that she was not good-looking and was not young, so she married
When Chuntao said this, Qiao sat outside and cried very sad. She knows that Chuntao is not because she wants to marry, but because she knows that her family can't afford more than one mouth
Mother Chen also cried. She cried that she had no family, only a young lady. She was old and useless
Qiao held her and cried, saying that he would not let mother Chen go even if he starved to death
The next day, Ruan Siyi stood up and trembled to eat.
He could get up in two days, but he was still very thin. When he could get out of bed and move around, he moved in the yard day by day.
Suddenly one day, Ruan Siyi disappeared.
