" Yu 'er, put it down!" Li Cuihua grabbed Peng Yu's hand and shouted desperately.
" Little Yu, let go!" A beautiful woman rushed over and looked at Peng Yu anxiously.
" Brother, are you feeling better?" A little girl beside her tilted her head and looked at Peng Yu curiously, her face full of surprise.
" Xiao Yu, don't mess around. I'm here. Go back to your room and rest." A young man in his twenties was also anxious.
Peng Yu let go of her hand. Her gaze swept across Li Cuihua, the woman, the little girl, and the young man.
This was all his family in this life!
The elder sister was Peng Xiaoshan, the younger sister was Peng Xiaolin, and the elder brother was Peng Yong.
" Mother, sister, sister, brother." Peng Yu looked at their gazes and suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. She remembered that she was an orphan in her previous life and struggled alone in the world.
Peng Yu was very happy that there were suddenly so many people who cared about her in the Great Tang. She also felt that it was her responsibility to lead this family to live a happy life.
Although the people in front of him could not hide the haze in their eyes, they were more surprised.
"Little Yu, are you really alright?" Li Cuihua's hands trembled as she rubbed Peng Yu's face. Her eyes were filled with love and surprise.
" Mother, I'm fine. Really, look." Peng Yu raised her right hand and hammered her chest a few times, making banging sounds.
" Silly child!" Li Cuihua quickly grabbed Peng Yu's hand and glared at her son.
"Yo, this fool is really good. He's really lucky. Li Cuihua, hurry up and pay up!”Before the family could recover from their surprise, a strange voice said.
Other than Peng Yu, everyone else's faces were immediately covered with a layer of shadow. All their smiles froze at this moment.
"Mother, what's going on?" Peng Yu frowned and looked at Li Cuihua.
" After you fainted, we used up all our money to treat your illness. In the end, we had no choice but to borrow money from the Cui family. We used your sister as collateral to become their maid," Li Cuihua said as she wiped her tears and stole a glance at Peng Xiaoshan.
"What?" Peng Yu stood rooted to the ground as if she had been struck by lightning. Her mind was blank.
Peng Xiaoshan lowered her head and didn't say anything. Peng Yong and Peng Xiaoling looked pale.
He did not expect to encounter such a tragic thing as soon as he transmigrated.
Peng Yu's mind was in a mess, but he had a firm belief in his heart: He definitely couldn't let these two servants take Peng Xiaoshan away from this courtyard!
Money? Suddenly, a thought flashed across Peng Yu's mind.
"Mother, how much did we borrow from the Cui family?”Peng Yu asked Li Cuihua anxiously.
" Five strings of money. Yu 'er, your body has just recovered. Go back and rest. Don't worry about the things here. This is your sister's life. Sigh." Li Cuihua wiped her tears and sighed.
"You sold my sister for just five strings of money?”Hearing that it was only five strings of coins, Peng Yu's heart immediately relaxed.
In his memory, the money of the early Tang Dynasty was 1000 copper coins. According to the productivity of the early Tang Dynasty, it could buy 200 buckets of rice. If converted to the modern era, it would be 3500 yuan.
Five strings of money was 17500 yuan. It was too exaggerated to buy someone for less than 20000 yuan.
Isn't it just five strings of money? Watch me fight for you!
At the thought of this, a smile appeared on Peng Yu's face. He grinned and went up to the two servants, bowed and said,""You two, I was too reckless just now. Please forgive me! May I know how I should address the two of you?"
The servant in black glanced at him. Although Peng Yu's clothes were tattered, his actions and demeanor still had the temperament of a scholar. He did not dare to be too impudent.
"I'm Cui Lin, the butler of the Cui family. Young Master Peng, do you want to hand over the money or the person? I can report to the old master."
Peng Yu saw that he only introduced herself and did not introduce the person beside her. Based on Peng Yu's social experience in her previous life, this person was just a follower. She only needed to deal with Cui Lin.
"So it's Uncle Cui Shi. I heard that Uncle Cui Shi used to live in this neighborhood and is very nostalgic, right? Mother?" Peng Yu said to Cui Lin with a smile. Then, she turned to look at Li Cuihua.
Although Li Cuihua didn't know what her son was planning, she still nodded quickly.
Cui Lin's tense face eased up a little, and he waved his hand slightly.""That's just nonsense. It can't be taken seriously."
However, he was secretly on guard in his heart. This kid suddenly used the past to get close to him. He definitely had bad intentions.
" Uncle Cui Shi, as the saying goes, it's only right to pay back what you owe. I won't dare to go back on my word. However, I have a small request that I hope Uncle Cui Shi can fulfill." Peng Yu stopped smiling and looked serious.
"Oh? What request? Tell me first.”Cui Lin didn't comment and looked at Peng Yu.
"The day before yesterday, I sent a letter to my schoolmate and good friend, saying that I can bring the money to Luoyang in two days. Uncle Cui, can you help me ask Master Cui to give me two more days?”Peng Yu said as she observed Cui Lin's expression.
As expected, Cui Lin's expression turned awkward after hearing Peng Yu's request. He thought for a while and replied,""I'm afraid this request is not possible. No matter what, I have to take the money or people with me today."
"This…" Peng Yu didn't expect her request to be rejected.
"Uncle Cui Shi, are you really not going to make an exception? It's not like I don't want to pay. If you really take my sister away by force, it'll be bad for the Cui family's reputation, right?”Peng Yu's expression slowly darkened. If it didn't work, she could only use force.
"This?" Cui Lin lowered his head and thought for a moment. After all, the Cui family was a century-old family and attached great importance to their reputation. It was definitely not a scene that the old master would want to see for a servant girl to make a big fuss.
