Queen of flowers - Chapter 36

Yong Qiao was also very puzzled about Yong Ruo’s decision to return all the gifts, and asked her, “Why didn’t you keep the silver?”

Yong Ruo explained the security issue to him, “That kind of money left at home is enough to attract criminals!”

Yong Qiao was stiff, but he still refused to accept her answer, “Why aren’t those big families who have more money at home afraid of criminals?”

“Stupid brother, those big families have huge house courtyards, high walls, and gates, family guards … Does our family have those? If hundreds of silvers were left in our house, there would be no place to hide them.”

“That … that …” It took a long time for Yong Qiao to think of an idea, and his eyes flashed immediately, “We can take silver, jewelry and take our mother and third brothers to run away and fly high!”

Yong Ruo laughed.

“Not to mention that mother is ill and should not be moved. Even if our mother was in a good state, how would we go? How do we fly? Do you remember how much six hundred and twenty silver? Will you carry it, or should I carry it?”

One or two silver ingot in this era was equivalent to more than 30 grams in modern times, and 600 became 20 kilos.

Carrying more than 20 kilograms of silver ingots and running around? Haha, it would be the best method to find death!

“We can hire a carriage!”

“Where to hire a carriage? What if we couldn’t get out of Beijing?”

Yong Qiao hesitated a moment then tentatively asked, “What if we couldn’t get out of Beijing?”

“You need a road guide to get out of Beijing. What if the people who we hired turned out to be robbers or thieves. Even if we went out of Beijing smoothly, how will we survive in the wilderness and countryside? Also, where do we go after leaving the capital city? Mother is so sick, how can she travel a long distance? “

Yong Qiao was discouraged, “Then we will not go out of the capital, we will change to another place and rent a bigger house.”

Yong Ruo sighed, “Our house has women and children, sick and small. If we moved suddenly, wouldn’t it make people suspicious? People who are interested would just need to follow us quietly to get in touch with our new residence. The neighbors will not be familiar with each other. It will be more convenient to rob us. They would just turn over the wall in the middle of the night, pry in the door, and draw a knife to our neck. What else can we do? “

“Sister can put up another bamboo nail array!”

“If the thieves are prepared, those bamboo nails won’t be of much use. Besides, how will we go out? When someone in our family goes out, they would kidnap them and threaten the rest. After taking the silver, it would be better if they killed us with a knife, if they sell us to such a dirty place, life will become hell! “

Yong Qiao’s face was startled, angry, and in disbelieve, “Who dares to abduct people under the broad daylight, and in the capital?”

Yong Ruo sighed again, hesitating in her heart, ‘Should she give Yong Qiao a safety awareness class, or vaguely shouldn’t scare the child?’

In the end, she chose the former, “There are many ways to tie people in the street. For example, the simplest one: a human figure walks around you, and he will use a stick to stun you; a person next to you will come out, patting you calling you their “good son” and “nephew,” and then hurriedly will take you’ home to find a doctor’, what can you do? Other people around will think that they are your parents and relatives, who will know it’s a criminal?”

Yong Qiao was stunned, and it took a long time for him to say, “Sister … how do you know these harmful methods?”

Yong Ruo smiled at Yong Qiao, “Listen more, watch more, talk more with the elderly, and you will know more when you are as old as me.”

Yong Qiao had nothing to do with it.

Yong Ruo rubbed his head and comforted him softly, “Don’t think about the things that don’t belong to you! The money you earn is only practical when you use it.”

Yong Qiao groaned, “I’m not distressed with silver!”

He looked up at Yong Ruo, and there were tears in his eyes, “Good people like my sister have been humiliated by them for nothing!”

Yong Ruo secretly sighed, ‘Their situation is stronger and can only endure it temporarily.’

Let’s see if she would get a chance to repay them in the future!

She didn’t want Yong Qiao, Zhou and Yong Miao to be sadder. She raised her voice and said in a lively and cheerful tone, “It doesn’t matter! Your sister will find a better person to irritate in the future !”

Yong Qiao imagined the scene, feeling better he replied, “Okay! Sister, you must find me a better brother-in-law to irritate!”

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he thought resentfully in his heart, ‘As for Yang Qi, who wanted to be happy, let him die!’

The sister and brother returned to the main room, where Zhou was crying in silence.

Yong Miao stood beside the bed, pulling Zhou’s sleeve with a tearful face.

“Mother, don’t be sad! Marriage is destined by fat, it’s the daughter’s fate, and in the future, I will find my Mr.Right!” Yong Ruo comforted Zhou, “Furthermore, mother was also against Chongxi. Maybe God doesn’t have the heart to make me a widow, so this marriage is broken! “

The possibility that Yang Qigong would be rescued by the “Chong Xi” was about zero.
