11 Rob

"Jin'er, take a break, don't tire yourself out." Mother brought a bowl of tea and passed it to Su Jin.

Su Jin took the cup of tea and hurriedly drank it. She then replied, "Mom, I feel that there's something wrong with this. It's better for me to quickly save the money."

"But I can't tire myself out. Let mom do it." Meng Qin took the work from Su Jin's hands.

Su Jin was exhausted. She gave up and sat to the side to watch her mother.

"We've also saved up two to three taels now. Just put in a little more effort and sell the cloth at the market the day after tomorrow. After that, we'll immediately return it to those usurpers." Su Jin said.

His mother just nodded without stopping.

Su Jin felt a bit guilty. Her mother didn't know that she had borrowed a tael of gold from the cloth shop, otherwise, she would have been able to save it up. Now, she had to fill up a portion of it and sell it to her parents.

"No worries, it's good to return them as soon as possible. Otherwise, Jin'er, you would have been taken away by those people." Meng Qin was actually even more anxious than Su Jin. If she didn't pay her debt, she would not be able to do so.

"I'm done resting, let me do it." When Su Jin saw her mother continue to hold on even though her waist was in so much pain, she frowned and took over the job without any explanation.

"You child …"

Within the Dai Family's courtyard, there was still the same small courtyard. At the center of the room, a voice could be heard.

Although it was already late autumn, there was no trace of chilliness in the room. The land dragon was burning brightly, and the owner of the house was comfortably lying on the bed with only a single garment on. He closed his eyes to listen to the report of the person who had collapsed.

"Young Master, the girl you told us to investigate that day has been investigated."

"Speak." Dazhi's eyes narrowed and he glanced down at the servant.

The servant wiped his forehead and said, "Yes, young master. That girl was called Su Jin. She lived in the slums to the east of town. She had a mother, a sister, and a younger brother. "Her father was a peddler who broke his leg six months ago and suffered from a strange disease. He couldn't be cured no matter how hard he tried.

"What else?"

"Also, in order to treat her father's illness, her family borrowed a usury and owed a lot of debts. The usury they borrowed was from the Black Tiger Gang, the most ferocious gang in town. They could do anything."

"So he was in debt." Daizhixian seemed to be deep in thought

"Young Master, we've discovered that this family has a strange background." The servant looked at Dai Zi Shi's face and said hesitantly.

Dai Zixian opened his eyes and stared at the servant.

"The head of the family is dead and no one can make money. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been paying off the loan, he should have been pursued for debt last month. However, according to the small observation, nothing happened to the family. Furthermore, when the younger one asked around, he found out that, about a month ago, the family members had already started taking out cloth to sell, earning quite a bit. It should be because they used these cloth pieces to pay their debts. "

But what's strange is that, their family takes out too many cloths at once. If it's the first time, then it's still okay to say that it's the same, but if I go to her house for the first time, I'll go to her house and quietly squat there for half a year, and her family weaves cloth day and night, and the sound is urgent and hurried, it doesn't sound like any ordinary voice. In three days or so, Su Jin will bring out seven or eight cloths and sell it's really unheard-of.

"From what I see, there must be some treasure in the Su Clan that can allow them to obtain so many cloth so quickly!"

"Three days?" Dai Zi Shi was also surprised, he waved for the servant to get down, he sat up, picked up the brush on the table and began to draw.

Thinking back to the times he had met this girl called Su Jin, Dai Zixian realised that in his heart, he was actually treating her as someone of the same age as himself. She had a calmness that didn't match her age, and there was even a hint of an invisible transcendent aura, these characteristics had left a deep impression on his heart.

His fingers couldn't help but prop up his chin as he pondered. Dai Zixian felt that he had discovered a very mysterious and interesting person.

"Young Master." The servant who had just left hurriedly said.

"What is it?" Dai Zi Shi rolled up the paper in his hand and asked.

"Replying to young master, there is something new about the matter with Su Jin."

"Come in." Dai Zi Wu said solemnly.

The servant came in and knelt down respectfully: "I have a brother in the Black Tiger Gang. He came over to tell me that tomorrow they are going to snatch something from Su Jin's house. They must have also discovered the abnormality in the Su Family."

"Then did they say when to act?"

"I don't know." Young Master, what should we do? The servant shook his head and cupped his hands.

Dai Zi Shi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Young Master?" Young Master? "

"Oh, get someone to keep an eye on the Black Tiger Gang. Don't alert them." Dai Zi Shi regained his senses and ordered.

"Yes." The servant obeyed and left. Dai Zi Wu stared at the burning brazier for a long time, then laughed and threw out a ball of paper from the table.

The dry ball of paper drew an arc and accurately fell into the brazier. "Peng" a flame rose and engulfed the ball of paper.

The temperature in the room unknowingly increased a bit.

On the second day, when the weather was good, Su Jin added some firewood to the charcoal brazier that had been burning all night and then went to get the woven cloth from the machine.

After working hard for a few days, he had accumulated more than twenty pieces of goods, which he planned to sell at the market tomorrow. It was almost New Year's, and the surrounding people would all come to the town to purchase new clothes, and with the cloth they produced, they would be able to buy them themselves. Su Jin could even guarantee that these pieces of cloth would be more expensive.

After tidying up the cloth, she picked up the wooden bucket and prepared to fetch some water to make breakfast.

The sun had just risen and the fog was still shrouding the area. The surrounding scenery was hazy, and only the long and narrow passageway was penetrated by the sunlight, letting the fog fade a little.

Su Jin was swinging the empty bucket while humming a tune in a good mood, enjoying a rare moment of leisure and solitude.

Suddenly, she stopped.

The passageway became a little dark, and the fog slightly dissipated. A lot of people could be seen walking in from the alleyway, and there was a nervous smell spreading in the air.

Su Jin tried her best to identify those people. Suddenly, she felt that the figure at the very front looked very familiar.

Who was it? She searched in her mind, and the next moment, her eyes widened.

It's Brother Wang! The loan collector! Why did he bring so many people here so early in the morning? Su Jin thought about it for a moment and still felt that these people were here for her family. With their aggressive looks, she didn't think that they came to her house to drink tea.

She quickly retreated out of the alley and waited at the place where the residents were gathered.

"Yi, little girl Huang, are you waiting here?" After Wang Ge's group came out, Su Jin quickly took a step forward and stopped seven or eight meters in front of them.
