At this moment, Tao Dafu began to use his reneging skills again. He raised his neck and said, "With so much money, even if I were beaten to death, I wouldn't be able to afford it." "In short, if you want money, you don't have one. If you want life, you only have one!"
Who knew that not only did Jin Weiwei not get angry, she even went along with his words and said, "Fine, since you don't have any money, you can give your life to me. I also want it."
The crowd burst into an uproar.
Tao Dafu was even angrier. "Damned girl, you must have come on purpose to go against me. If you want to force me to death, then so be it!"
"Who wants to force you to death? I said I would pay with my life, not because I want you to die. "Since you guys can't take out that much money all of a sudden, then use work to repay the debt. If you come to our butcher's shop to help out, then I'll deduct the money until the debt is completely deducted."
What if he sold himself to the Jin family as a slave?
Tao Dafu clenched his teeth and hatefully said, "Damn brat, it's impossible for you to make me your slave!"
When he saw Tao Xiaoqing standing there silently, his anger flared up. Therefore, he pushed Tao Xiaoqing out of the room. "He smashed this thing. If he wants to repay this debt, he will have to pay it back!"
Jin Weiwei blinked and said, "It's still the same for everyone, but there's no proof. Since the Village Head is here today, we can prepare a written proof of how much debt we owe and how long we have to help him. We can do it clearly so that some people won't go back on their word."
Thus, the Jin and Tao families began negotiating under the leadership of the village chief. After a round of bargaining, Tao Dafu finally agreed to Tao Xiaoqing helping the Jin family for ten years.
After writing the documents, both sides pressed their hand seals. Jin Weiwei carefully hid Tao Xiaoqing's' indenture contract 'in her bosom.
"Since you have made everything clear, I will take Tao Xiaoqing away now."
No one had any objections.
Jin Weiwei added, "From today onwards, Tao Xiaoqing is my man. I'll control food when you're hungry, I'll control medicine when you're sick, and bury him when he's dead. No matter what happens, you Tao family must not interfere, remember?"
At this moment, Tao Dafu couldn't wait to chase Tao Xiaoqing, this unlucky star, as far away as possible. Naturally, he agreed quickly.
Only then did Jin Weiwei nod in satisfaction. She thanked the village chief, led little Fugui and Tao Xiaoqing, and swaggered home.
When Jin Weiwei had disappeared, Tao Dafu was stunned for a moment before he suddenly shouted, "This is not right!"
Everyone was puzzled. However, Tao Dafu pounded his chest and stomped his feet. "How did I end up falling for this stinking girl's trick?"
"What's going on?" Everyone asked.
Tao Dafu gritted his teeth and said, "Did you not see that this was a play that the three of them had agreed upon?"
In the morning, Jin Weiwei had agreed to let Tao Xiaoqing go home, and she immediately assigned him to her house to retrieve something. What a coincidence, she didn't smash the vat, but she did smash that jar instead?
And was the jar filled with elixirs or not? From beginning to end, Jin Weiwei had been the only one talking. No one had seen it.
However, Tao Xiaoqing insisted the moment he came back that he had smashed a jar of elixir, leaving him no room for debate. He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death if he said that these two people had not been agreed upon beforehand!
When everyone heard Tao Dafu's words, they also came to a realization. Together with Jin Weiwei and Tao Xiaoqing, they performed this act in order to allow Tao Xiaoqing to escape from Tao Dafu's clutches.
"What a cunning little girl!" Tao Dafu cursed Jin Weiwei a thousand times in his heart, but everything was set in stone.
This time, Tao Dafu could only admit defeat.

"What makes you so happy?" The Village Head's daughter-in-law Zhen asked as she poured wine for the Village Head.
The old man had been smiling merrily ever since he came back. It was as if he had met with some happy event.
The Village Chief took a sip of the old wine, smacked his lips and said, "If I told you, you might not believe me. Today, I was played by a little girl."
Zhen Shi heard and laughed, "Are you sick? To be so happy when you've been tricked by others. "
"She not only tricked me, she also tricked a large group of people. All of us, ten or so people, all accompanied her as she sang a great play." The village chief threw a peanut into his mouth and said, "This girl, she's not simple …"
The more Madam Zhen listened, the more curious she became. She pestered the Village Chief to explain everything that had happened this afternoon in detail.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk …" Madam Zhen could not help but click her tongue, showing a look of disdain. "This girl from the Jin family is way too scheming. A girl like her, I'm afraid that her family's man will not be able to control her."
"What do you know?" The village head stared at Zhen Shi and said, "What are you talking about? This was called intelligence, this was wisdom! For a girl to be able to come up with such a good plan despite knowing how to use her wits, she definitely wasn't simple … "Ai, if she wasn't already married, she would be a good match for the heroes of our family …"
"How is she worthy of our family background? I think you're really too old and muddleheaded!" Zhen Shi's face was filled with displeasure as she snatched the wine cup from the village head, "Who are we? This was a dignified Elementary Scholar! That teacher in the county's private school didn't praise him for being smart? "He's going to be a great official in the future. He's going to bring glory to our Fan family and bring honor to our ancestors. How could he possibly marry a wild girl like Jin Weiwei?"
"Look at you, why are you in such a hurry?" It's not because I see that the Jin family's girl has some knowledge, but because she's not bad looking and is also smart and quick-witted, that's why she said so casually. "
The village chief snatched back his glass and took another sip of wine. "Furthermore, she's already married to that little beggar. How could I let Shiying marry her …"
After the village chief finished speaking, he burped and looked outside the gate with a regretful expression.

Tao Xiaoqing has worked even harder since he followed Jin Weiwei home. After two days of paving in the butcher's shop, Jin Weiwei finally brought him home. She vacated the small house beside the sheepfold that used to contain all the junk, and cleaned it so that Tao Xiaoqing could live inside.
"Little Qing, I made two sets of new clothes for you. Come and see if you like them or not." Jin Weiwei came to Little Qing's room with two sets of new clothes.
Tao Xiaoqing ran over quickly and stared at the clothes in Jin Weiwei's hands with a look of disbelief. "Big Sister, are these new clothes that you made for me?"
Ever since Tao Xiaoqing had settled in his uncle's house, he had never bought a new set of clothes. His clothes were sewn and patched, and the original fabric of his clothes could no longer be seen.
Jin Weiwei smiled. "Of course it's for you. Hurry and take it."
Tao Xiaoqing rubbed his hand against her body before taking the clothes from her, "Thank you, thank you, Big Sister Dong!"
