Red Dust Daqian

Since the pawn ticket of the ceramic kiln factory was given to Zhou Sen, and she had said so much, Mrs. Xiao no longer hesitated, and simply took out all the pawn tickets from her sleeves, handed them to Zhou Sen, and said, "Master Mu, see if there are any other pawn tickets that can be used, you can take them all."

Zhou Sen took the pawn ticket from Madam Xiao, looked through it carefully, and secretly sighed in his heart that Xiao Zhuyu's father was really a spendthrift. Such a large family business was pawned and squandered in just a few years. Zhou Sen smiled and said to Madam Xiao and Xiao Zhuyu, "You won't need these for now, so keep them first. When the glass kiln factory is up and running, I will help you redeem all of them."

Xiao Zhuyu was so moved when she heard Zhou Sen say such responsible words that she shed tears. If Madam Xiao was not here, she would have wanted to hug him and bite Zhou Sen's mouth hard. Madam Xiao hurriedly declined and said, "It has already cost a lot to redeem my mother and me. How dare I trouble Master Mu to spend more money? If it can be used, just use it directly. If it can't be used, keep it for now." Madam Xiao and Zhou Sen still have some distance. Zhou Sen knows that it is better to do more than to talk more, so he doesn't say anything more. After carefully checking the pawn ticket, it is from a pawn shop in Changnan County. The ceramic kiln factory is also between Changnan County and Xiaojia Town, and may be closer to Changnan County. Zhou Sen found a box and collected all the pawn tickets of the Xiao family.

"The matter of Xiaojia Town is settled, so let's set off to Changnan." Zhou Sen stretched and said to everyone with a sense of relief. Mrs. Xiao seemed a little hesitant, and said to Xiao Zhuyu: "Zhuyu, you go to Changnan County with Taoist Mu and help Taoist Mu run the glass kiln factory." Then she bowed to Zhou Sen, Xiangcao, and Zhao Tiechui and said: "My daughter is away, I hope Taoist Mu and you will take good care of her and treat her well in the future." Zhou Sen did not hesitate and replied directly: "Of course, I still count on Zhuyu to help me run and manage the kiln factory."

Madam Xiao continued with some difficulty: "Well, okay, then I won't see you off." Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. Xiao Zhuyu hurriedly shouted: "Mom, what are you doing?" Zhou Sen also asked in confusion: "Madam Xiao, don't you plan to go to Changnan County with us?" Madam Xiao replied bitterly: "Master Mu, I am very grateful for rescuing my mother and me. I can't help you there, so I dare not cause trouble for you."

Xiao Zhuyu looked at Zhou Sen expectantly. Before Xiao Zhuyu could ask, Zhou Sen blurted out, "We need you! And we need you very much." Although everyone didn't know how they needed you, they all nodded. Zhou Sen continued, "Xiangcao, Tiechui, Zhuyu, and I all have our own things to do. Our home and yard are unattended, and the four of us don't know how to take care of them. Our home will be your home in the future, and you will still be needed to take care of the household affairs. Without you, when they are busy, no one will care about me, and I will probably starve to death." Everyone looked disgusted, what a lame excuse.

Although the reason was lame, everyone nodded sincerely to show their agreement. Xiangcao followed Zhou Sen and said, "Mrs. Xiao, please follow us to Changnan County. You can also help me take care of Zhang Mumu, the scoundrel, in the future." Although she was scolded, the reason was reasonable. Zhou Sen secretly gave Xiangcao a thumbs up. Mrs. Xiao was moved to tears. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and agreed, "Well, okay." Xiao Zhuyu's hanging heart was finally relieved.

Back to the city. Madam Xiao, Xiangcao, and Xiao Zhuyu took the carriage. Xiangcao didn't want Zhou Sen to ride the carriage at first, but Zhao Tiechui was too big and too heavy. Now with Madam Xiao, the horses would have a hard time pulling the carriage if Zhao Tiechui got in. Zhou Sen had to drive the carriage instead. On the way back to Changnan County, everyone was talking and laughing, and the sky was much brighter. Zhou Sen looked at the carriage and sighed, "It seems that we need to add more horses and change to a bigger carriage, otherwise there will be no room." How big a carriage should we get in the future?

It was already evening when he returned to Changnan City. Zhou Sen did not rush to redeem the Xiao family kiln factory. He bought some food and returned to his residence. He had been busy and tired for the past two days, so he needed to rest well. After Mrs. Xiao had chosen a room and tidied it up, they arranged for everyone to rest.

On the second day, the family members started their own busy work. The five people were divided into two groups. Mrs. Xiao and Xiangcao went to the market to buy items. After all, they planned to live in Changnan for a while, so the quality of their daily life had to be guaranteed, and they had to buy all the items.

Zhou Sen, dressed in casual clothes, Zhao Tiechui, dressed as a servant, and Xiao Zhuyu, dressed as a young lady, came to the largest pawnshop in Changnan County - Houde Pawnshop, where the Xiao family's ceramic kiln factory was pawned.

"Three distinguished guests!" A clerk at the door of the pawn shop shouted, and then came over and said, "Three distinguished guests, please come in." The three were welcomed into the pawn shop by the enthusiastic clerk. After entering the door, the clerk at the counter glanced at the three people and said to Xiao Zhuyu enthusiastically, "Miss, do you have anything to pawn?" Xiao Zhuyu didn't say much, took out the pawn ticket of the Xiao Family Kiln Factory, put it on the counter, and said, "Redeem the pawn."

The clerk at the counter picked up the pawn ticket and carefully identified it. His face became a little solemn. If you don't look carefully, you won't find it. Xiao Zhuyu saw that the clerk at the counter was a little hesitant, so he asked: "Is there any problem with my Xiao family's pawn ticket?" The clerk at the counter pretended to be calm and replied that there was no problem with the pawn ticket, but the amount was huge, so he needed to ask the shopkeeper. Then the clerk left the pawn ticket, asked Xiao Zhuyu and the other two to wait for a while, and then ran to the back hall.

The pawnshop clerk refilled the tea for Zhou Sen and the other two three times, but the pawnshop owner still didn't come out. Zhou Sen, Xiao Zhuyu, and Zhao Tiechui were all a little anxious. Zhou Sen hinted to Zhao Tiechui, who understood Zhou Sen's meaning and started to shout, "Where is your pawnshop owner? How long do you want us to wait? The pawn ticket of Xiao's kiln factory is here, and the owner is also here. If you collect the ransom and return the kiln factory title deed to us, then it will be settled. What's the point of making us wait here?" "Go, go, call your owner out quickly and complete the redemption procedures for us today!"

The waiter smiled and said, "Dear guests, don't worry, I'll go and urge them right away." After a while, the counter clerk came out with a smile, greeted Zhou Sen and the other two, and said, "Dear guests, we've been waiting for a long time. We will redeem Miss Xiao's pawn right now. Please come in. The shopkeeper is waiting for you three in the VIP room."

Zhou Sen immediately felt something was wrong. There must be something fishy going on. He thought, if I had known earlier, I would have brought Vanilla with me. If we had to fight, I would have another powerful helper. However, since the pawnshop hadn't made trouble yet, it was not a good idea to just leave. I could only take it one step at a time. He also hinted to Xiao Zhuyu and Zhao Tiechui to be careful. If they found that the situation was not good, they should run away first. Safety was the most important thing.
