Song Tian left the pharmacy and hurried to a pawnshop.

The owner of the drugstore only cares about money. He probably won't help without money. She has to hurry.

"Little Second Brother, I want to pawn something."

Standing on the tall counter of the pawnshop, Song Tian felt his heart pounding from running.

The waiter behind the window looked up at her lazily and felt that she didn't look like something that could be worth money.

"what--"

He stood up, yawned deeply, and asked:

"What?"

Song Tian was about to speak, but was interrupted by him:

"First of all, let me make it clear that if you have tattered clothes or jackets, forget it. We won't accept them here!"

Song Tian rolled his eyes. Is this a case of looking down on others?

She pulled out a hairpin from the small package in her arms. It was crystal white and was obviously made of top-quality jade. It was also decorated with cloud patterns on the top.

The waiter immediately woke up, stood up, picked up the jade hairpin, looked at it, and said:

"Wait a moment, young lady. I'll ask our shopkeeper to come and take a look!"

He is just a shop keeper and he is not very good at judging things.

"Please hurry up!"

Song Tian shouted towards the window.

Speaking of this hairpin, it has quite a story behind it.

This was given to the original owner by the young man who had promised to marry her. It was a token of love.

The original owner found out that her affair with the young master was discovered by her sister, and she became suspicious and told the young master about it when she met him.

The young man advised her not to be anxious and that he would find a way to marry her as soon as possible. The two even exchanged tokens of love.

This hairpin has always been carefully treasured by its original owner.

But after waiting for a long time, her lover did not come to marry her, but she was secretly harmed by her sister.

When she was thrown into the Xie family and was looking for death, she was still hoping that the young master would come to save her.

But Song Tian understood that the man would most likely not come.

The young man has a prominent family background. Some of his uncles are officials in the capital. He is also a good student, so he will most likely pursue a career in politics in the future.

Marriages in this era are all decided by parents and matchmakers. Even if the young man really likes the original owner, his parents and relatives will not agree to him marrying the daughter of a merchant.

"You want to be a hairpin?"

The pawnshop owner then appeared in the window.

Song Tian nodded quickly:

"Yes, please give me an estimate!"

The shopkeeper touched the hairpin and asked:

"Are you pawning it alive or dead? The workmanship of this hairpin is pretty good, but the quality is a little off. If you want to pawn it..."

He casually held up four fingers:

"Four ounces of silver."

"Only four ounces?"

Song Tian couldn't accept it.

"Shopkeeper, you are too ruthless. Such a good jade hairpin would cost at least ten taels in a jewelry store. You only gave me four taels. Isn't that a bit too much?"

And it’s not enough to pay for Haoer’s medical expenses.

The shopkeeper stroked his moustache, obviously a little impatient.

"Girl, you are really joking. A hairpin of this quality is only worth seven or eight taels of silver even if it is new. And you also said that it was in a jewelry store. This is a pawnshop."

Business people always treat people differently based on their personalities, not to mention that this boss was a shrewd man who had seen countless people, and he must have seen that Song Tian was in urgent need of money.

Song Tian cursed the pawnshop owner in his heart, but still bargained for the price in a nice tone.

"This is the dowry my ancestors left me. If I wasn't in urgent need of money, I would definitely not be willing to sell it. Shopkeeper, please increase the price. Seven taels, seven taels, I will give it to you, dead or alive, how about it?"

The shopkeeper laughed when he heard it:

"Miss, you are such a joker. This jade hairpin is obviously a new product that the Treasure House just put on the shelves at the beginning of the year. Now it is everywhere on the street. May I ask how old your ancestors are?"

Song Tian was embarrassed, and her attempt to show off hit the steel plate.

"Boss, please be kind. My brother is seriously injured and his life is in danger. He is waiting for this little money to save his life. Please give me a little more money..."

"Four ounces and three cents, no more, and I have to pawn it to death!"

After a lot of nice words, the shopkeeper finally agreed to add three more coins of silver.

For Song Tian, ​​it didn't matter whether she lived or died. She had no relationship with the young man anyway. It was just that the money was too little.

"Boss, how about you give me five taels? I'm really waiting for this money to save my life!"

Song Tian had a sad face and almost knelt down in front of him.

The pawnshop owner was helpless and shook his head:

"Four ounces and five cents, it really can't be any higher.

We businessmen have to eat, right?"

It seems that this is really the highest price. I can only find another way to get the remaining five cents of silver. Fortunately, the difference is not too big.

"Okay, please help me get the money quickly."

The shopkeeper gave Song Tian the pawn ticket and asked her to put her fingerprints on it. Then he took the hairpin and gave her four taels and five cents in change.

Song Tian took out a handkerchief, wrapped it up and left quickly.

"Be careful. The most worrying thing about injuries like this is that your internal organs might get hurt when you move them. Be careful not to squeeze or collide with them when you move them."

When she returned to the pharmacy, the shopkeeper was directing the clerk to carry Hao'er, who was lying on the counter, to the treatment room at the back. When he saw her coming, he asked:

"Have you collected enough money?"

Song Tian quickly shook her handkerchief bag and promised without any guilt:

"Don't worry, it's worth every penny!"

The shopkeeper looked at her bulging bag and thought it must be enough.

"Okay, then I'll treat his wound first, and then I'll pay you the money after I'm done."

This was exactly what Song Tian wanted. She thought she would have to talk for a long time.

"I will always remember your kindness, boss. Don't worry, you will definitely get the money."

She looked at Hao'er who was still in a coma with concern, while she did not forget to put sweet words on her lips and write a blank check.

Xie Yunzhe was standing aside in a daze, watching them move Hao'er. When he saw Song Tianzhen bring the silver back, he came over with a wooden face and asked:

"Where did you get so much money?"

Song Tian really wanted to give him a cold look.

You know it's hard to get money, but you still ask in public. Do you want her to be exposed?

But when she looked up and met his gloomy eyes, she couldn't help but think of the ruthless villain in the book, so she suppressed her anger and whispered:

"This is the dowry my parents gave me!"

You can't just pawn your ex-boyfriend's token of love.

Xie Yunzhe obviously didn't believe it, and asked again with a frown:

"Did your parents give you a dowry?"

That family obviously wanted to get rid of this woman, and when they saw that he had been fooled, they couldn't wait to throw her over to him. When she was sent to him, she had nothing but the clothes on her back and not even a bag.

Her stepmother wanted to ask him for a betrothal gift, but gave up when she saw that he was penniless.

Song Tian smiled awkwardly:

"My stepmother really didn't want to give it to me, but my father is my biological father, so he still gave me some jewelry."

Xie Yunzhe still didn't believe it. She was tied up when she was sent here, so why didn't he see any jewelry on her head?

But looking at Song Tian's expression, I'm afraid the origin of this money is a bit suspicious.

He took a breath and didn't continue.

Now, as long as she can save Hao'er, it doesn't matter even if she robs or steals.

He kept silent for a while and was about to go to the back to see how Hao'er was doing when he saw Song Tian quietly turn his back and open the handkerchief wrapped in silver.

Pick out a few small stones from it...
