"What a joke. What priceless treasure could her family possibly have? Tell me about it." Tao Dafu didn't believe that a little girl who sold meat could hide priceless treasures in her house.
"Of course it's priceless! It's my family's secret recipe. Those are life-saving spiritual medicines. " As Jin Weiwei spoke, she stepped into the small courtyard of the Tao family.
"You, who let you in?!" When Tao Dafu saw Jin Weiwei, he knew that she must have come with ill intentions.
"Your nephew destroyed my medicine jar and wasted my spiritual medicine. I came here to compensate you!"
Just as Jin Weiwei finished her sentence, Tao Xiaoqing hid behind Tao Dafu with a pitiful look on his face. He said loudly, "I was the one who smashed the item. That's right, but I don't have the money to compensate you."
Hearing this, Jin Weiwei was not anxious. She reached out her hand to stroke the corner of her clothes and slowly said, "As long as you admit that you smashed the thing." You don't have money, but your uncle does, right? You can't afford it, as long as your uncle can. "
The moment Tao Dafu heard that Jin Weiwei intended for him to pay her money, his face immediately fell.
Tao Xiaoqing immediately held onto Tao Dafu's arm and begged, "Uncle, uncle, you have to help me!"
"Help what, you money-losing thing!" Tao Dafu pushed Tao Xiaoqing away, pointed at Jin Weiwei's nose, and cursed mischievously, "Stupid girl, who do you think you are, to compensate me just because you told me to?! Get out, get out, get out! "
With that, he directly wanted to push Jin Weiwei out of the door.
However, before he could even touch the hem of Jin Weiwei's clothes, little Fugui appeared in front of him.
"Aiyo, you stinking beggar, now you're protecting your wife, get up!" Tao Dafu relied on his family's strength and numbers to not put Jin Weiwei and little Fugui in his eyes.
Unfortunately, his courage was no less than a mouse's. He tried his best to push little rich son away, but not only did he not do so, he was even rebounded back by little rich son. He took three steps back with a 'thump thump', and luckily, someone from the back reached out to catch him.
Jin Weiwei was happy inside, but she still wore a serious expression on her face.
"I say, Uncle Tao, I've come today to properly reason with you. Why did you make the first move?" Jin Weiwei pouted. "Isn't it perfectly justified to pay back the debt by smashing things to pay the debt?"
Jin Weiwei swept a glance at the people in the yard. They were all people that Tao Dafu had called over to get from the butcher's shop. The reason why they were gathered here was because they were worried that Jin Weiwei would not let them go, so they wanted to continue causing trouble in the afternoon.
"Brothers, sisters, and uncles, although you are all close friends of the Tao family, I believe that you are all reasonable people. Please give your judgment today."
Jin Weiwei took a look and saw a stocky man in the crowd nod his head slightly. She immediately walked up to him and bowed, "This big brother, tell me, this Tao Xiaoqing smashed my spiritual medicine. Should I compensate him?"
The sturdy man didn't hesitate and nodded his head, "Of course I'll compensate you for smashing someone else's thing."
"Then if Tao Xiaoqing has no money, shouldn't his family's adults compensate him with money?"
"Since his own child caused such trouble, of course his own adults have to pay for it." The brawny man was very shrewd and could say whatever he wanted to say.
When the crowd heard his words, they could not help but nod in agreement.
Seeing that he had hired a helper to help Jin Weiwei, Tao Dafu couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Stinky girl, stop trying to seduce the masses!"
"Sure, as expected of someone who had studied for a few days. He even used the word 'bewitching'." Jin Weiwei sneered, "I'm clearly trying to reason with you, but you said I'm bewitching the masses. Since that's the case, why don't we just report this matter to the officials?"
"A reporter? What big matter? Was it worth reporting? The matter of Xingtian Village shall be settled in Xingtian Village. " At some point, the Village Chief had appeared in front of Tao's house.
"Village Chief, Grandpa, why have you come?" Jin Weiwei immediately limped forward to support him.
"Jin family's girl, you really make people worry." The village chief sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He originally thought that the conflict between the Tao and Jin families had been resolved in the morning at the butcher's shop, and Jin Weiwei promised to release them after noon. He never thought that someone would come and inform him that Jin Weiwei had run over to the Tao family to cause trouble even before lunch.
Jin Weiwei smiled mischievously. "You really can't blame me for this." Furthermore, I knew that grandpa chief was very busy with matters, and was afraid that I would give you trouble. Originally, I had no intention of disturbing you, and wanted to solve the problem myself.
With that, she shot a glance of approval at little Fugui from the corner of her eyes. Actually, the person who informed her of this was someone that had been arranged by the little rich kid in advance. After entering the small courtyard of the Tao family, the person at the back took a coin and ran over to report to the Village Head's house.
"Is it okay if I don't come? "You even said that you would solve the problem yourself. You've already caused so much trouble that you need to report it to an official. Can you solve the problem yourself?" The village chief pretended to be angry.
Jin Weiwei quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake. "The thing is, Village Head Grandpa taught me a lesson. This Tao Dafu is simply unreasonable. I really don't have any other way. I hope Village Head Grandpa can uphold justice for me."
With that, Jin Weiwei recounted the entire sequence of events.
"Tao Xiaoqing, is what she said the truth? Are you sure you broke that medicine jar? " the village chief asked.
"That's right, I did break it …" Tao Xiaoqing admitted it again.
"Since this is the case, the matter is simple. Tao Xiaoqing broke the spiritual medicine jar, and the Tao family will compensate the Jin family with money."
Hearing this, Jin Weiwei smiled brightly, "Village Head Grandpa is right. As long as they pay me, I will be fine. I also don't have much. Just pay me a thousand taels of silver!"
A thousand taels!
Everyone was shocked. They had only heard of this number in their dreams. Perhaps no one in Xingtian Village had seen so much silver before.
"Damned girl!" You are asking for a sky-high price, asking for a sky-high price! "
Originally, Tao Dafu didn't want to pay up. However, due to the village head's authority, he couldn't not accept it. He didn't expect that this girl would ask for an astronomical figure. She was clearly trying to humiliate him.
"A thousand taels?" Isn't that too much? " The village chief frowned.
"Uncle Fu even knows how to use the word 'sky-high asking price'. Not bad, not bad." Jin Weiwei mocked him again, "But a thousand liang isn't a lot. Don't you know that this is the ancestral spirit pellet of the Jin Clan? Didn't you all know how effective it is in bringing the dead back to life? "
Everyone had seen the effects of this Spirit Pill before. It was the time when they had treated Second Fool Wang.
If it was true, a single Resurrection Pill would be worth thousands of gold, but such a large sum of money was something the Tao family could not afford. Even if they sold Tao Dafu, they could not afford it.
