Chapter 28: The whole family leaves the city

When Liu Yue found Xianxianlou, Qiu Yan wrapped plates of food in lotus leaves and oil paper, tied them up and lifted them. He ignored the ridiculed gazes of the scholars around him and walked casually.

"Brother Yan, are you?"

Seeing Qiu Yan's appearance, Liu Yue couldn't help but ask.

When Qiu Yan saw this, he smiled and said, "Cousin, you are here, come and help me carry two of these dishes. These dishes were all served by those who just now. But they left in advance and didn't even move the chopsticks. It's a pity to throw them away. I haven't seen any meat at home for a few days, so I just took them back."

"Didn't you say that this would be a disgrace to be gentle?" Liu Yue found that his cousin was vaguely different from before. If Qiu Yan had not only refused to do it himself, but also stopped others from doing so.

"Is it a disgrace?" Qiu Yan smiled, "This will not a disgrace. It is shameful to waste extravagance. Okay, let's hurry up, otherwise the food will be cold."

In this way, Qiu Yan and Liu Yue took home a lot of bags. Of course, the family members were also confused, but they couldn't resist Qiu Yan's persuasion and quickly put the food on the table and sat together.

The atmosphere at the dining table was a bit dull, but Qiu Yan spoke deliberately, which quickly relaxed the atmosphere.

"Yan'er, are those people just now really your friends?" After almost the meal, Liu Huai couldn't help but ask. He had been worried about this matter at this moment. "Those people, who are rampant on weekdays, are cunning people, and are the counter-attacks in the play. The clown is the most fickle and can't be close friends."

Qiu Yan heard this and put down his chopsticks: "Don't worry, uncle, I know that I know very well about those people's nature. At the moment, they are just tolerant. When the limelight passes, they will definitely not give up and will definitely provoke trouble."

"Since you know, why are you still interacting with them?" When Liu Huai heard this, he became angry. Since something happened to Qiu Yan's family and fled to Yuanning, Liu Huai has regarded him as a member of the family and cared for him. Now when he heard Qiu Yan's words, he couldn't help but feel regretful.

"Don't be angry, uncle," Seeing Liu Huai getting angry, Qiu Yan left the bench. "Now the family is in trouble. Qiu Yan lives in the yard every day and can't help. He feels very guilty, so he came up with this bad plan."

"If you have something to do at home, I will be the head of my family. You don't need to worry about it." Liu Huai's anger subsided, "Besides, if you have trouble at home, what's the use of finding some thugs?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout outside the yard. When he heard the sound, Liu Huai was worried, put down his bowls and chopsticks and walked out, Qiu Yan and Liu Yue followed closely behind.

As soon as I left the house, I saw Li Bo and Wang Qiaoer standing outside the door, holding two packages in my hand. When I saw Qiu Yan coming out, I immediately walked up and handed over the package.

"Young Master Qiu, you have everything you want. I hope you can keep your promise."

Looking at the package with a reluctance, Li Bo gritted his teeth and withdrew his gaze, bowed to Qiu Yan, and took Wang Qiaoer away.

"What's this?"

When Qiu Yan heard Liu Huai's inquiry, he put the package in the other party's hands.

After taking the bag, Liu Huai paused slightly. The package was much heavier than he thought. When he touched it again, the sound of collision was heard inside, and his expression immediately changed.

“These are…”

After detecting the thing in the bag, Liu Huai took a deep breath and turned around and saw that Li Bo and others were gone. He wanted to chase him, but Qiu Yan pulled him into the house.

When he returned to the house, Liu Huai wanted to speak but stopped, but suddenly asked Qiu Yan's aunt, aunt and others to remove the dishes and chopsticks, leave first, and then put the two packages on the table.

With a "slam" sound, the package scattered, revealing what was inside. They were strings of copper coins and a few small silver cakes!

"What's going on?" Liu Yue was stunned when he saw these things.

In this world, 770 coins are Yiguan, Yiguan is equal to one tael of silver. The size of several silver cakes is different, which is obviously made of a private kiln, but it also needs six or seven taels to add up. A brief look at it, the more than ten taels of silver there are in the two packages!

More than ten taels, that is, seven or eight thousand coins, this is a huge number. You should know that although prices have risen, in Yuanning Mansion, you can buy a dou of rice for seven cents and sell a pound of miscellaneous salt for twenty cents. The acre of land in the suburbs of the city is only eight or nine hundred cents!

Unlike Liu Yue who was shocked, Liu Huai stared at Qiu Yan and said angrily: "You actually blackmailed others?"

Qiu Yan was calm and said, "My uncle clearly saw that if he had nothing to do and took the initiative to find others, it would be blackmail. But today it was Li Bo and the others who came to him, not only threatened me, but also acted against the Liu family. Even his aunt, aunt and sister-in-law were frightened. He was reasonable and could not let them go."

After hearing this, Liu Huai shook his head: "You have taken so much money, how can they rest? From now on, there will be no peace! It's better to send it back quickly..."

"Relaxed and strict, moral and punishment cannot be achieved. If you have kindness, you must repay it, and if you have revenge, you cannot tolerate it. Being tolerant is not kind, but indulging," Qiu Yanxian said with the flow, and then changed the subject, "But what my uncle said is reasonable, and those people must have a grudge. For safety reasons, I can't stay in Yuanning City. Please ask my uncle and his family to clean up the details and go to Qingchang with me to settle for the time being."

"You..." Liu Huai was speechless. These days, Qiu Yan had mentioned that Liu Huai's family had temporarily left Yuanning and stayed in Qingchang for a while to avoid the limelight, but the old Liu family took root in Yuanning, so of course he would not agree.

However, in the past few days, he has been out looking for life, but he has encountered walls everywhere. Those shops and acquaintances know that Liu Huai and his son were kicked out of the Pan Mansion, how dare they take him in? On the other hand, Liu Huai, who was quite old, was already unable to bear it. Now that he heard this proposal again, he remembered his experience in the past few days, and did not immediately refuse.

Next to him, Liu Yue looked at the money on the table and was a little moved, but his father did not agree, so he certainly did not dare to interfere.

At this time, Qiu Yan said again: "If my uncle doesn't want to, then Qiu Yan can only walk alone, but with these money on him, he is abusive. Military gangsters can return to Qingchang County alive. It's a big deal. Moreover, I don't know much about finances. If you let you cheat the money, it would be bad."

"This..." Liu Huai pondered.

"Father, what my cousin said is not without reason..."

Seeing that his father was a little moved, Liu Yue also comforted him. With Qiu Yan's words again, Liu Huai finally made up his mind.

"Then let's go to Qingchang for a while and wait for the limelight to pass..."

After making a decision, the Liu family father and son began to plan when they set off, but were interrupted by Qiu Yan's words—
Chapter completed!
