"Not much. Anyway, my daughter and I have already spent our expenses for this month. Give us three hundred silver taels!" Xia Chunhua stretched out three of his fingers, staring at the Lee's as he replied.
"But, but how can I have that much silver, the silver on me is all Xia Li gave me for my daily expenses, now that I have given all of it to you, why are you spending so much now? Can't you save the flowers? "
The Lee's tried his best to persuade Xia Chunhua.
"Sister-in-law, think about it. Your daughter is a good person, if she knows how to make money, what would happen if we spent more?" You wouldn't care about this small amount of money, right! " Xia Chunhua argued.
"I don't have any money left, it's not easy for Xia Li to earn money." Lee's refused to give Xia Chunhua money.
"Then go and ask Xia Li face to face, since we have helped your family manage their business before, it is only right that we ask for money." Xia Chunhua said as he walked outside, unexpectedly meeting with Xia Li.
"We were talking about you just now, and it turns out you were just outside the door. Xia Li, are you spending the money for us?" Xia Chunhua looked at Xia Li, and asked for money.
"Aunt, you've only helped us for less than ten days, and our family has already given you and your daughter a hundred silver taels as expenses. You've taken three hundred silver taels from my mother, and you've only lived here for less than three months. Our family has treated you well, so why bother asking!" "You've lived here for so long. It's time for you to leave."
"Tonight, you can bring Jin Xi'er and leave my house!" Xia Li coldly started to order them to leave.
"I was just joking. Actually, a hundred silver isn't a problem." When Xia Chunhua saw that Xia Li was angry, his attitude immediately softened.
"I'm a bit tired tonight, so I'll go back and rest." As Xia Chunhua said that, he pulled Jin Xi'er who was still eating and ran into the room and closed the door.
The courtyard quietened down, Lee's did not expect Xia Chunhua to know about the money she gave Xia Chunhua.
"Mom, I only feel pity for them."
"We are the ones who are pitiful. The hard-earned homes all have these idle people, and they only helped us for ten days. The rest of the time, they were shopping, buying clothes, going to the tavern to drink tea and listen to the show. The work in the yard is all done by you alone, why bother, Mother!" Xia Li was helpless, but she had to knock her out.
"I don't have any money left. What should I do next to help my daughter?" She felt that she had always been doing the wrong thing, dragging Xia Li down. At this moment, she was more willing to listen to Xia Li's arrangements.
"I will discuss this with my aunt and cousin later. As long as you don't bother with their affairs, letting them learn how to support themselves is a good thing." Xia Li warned the Lee's.
"Alright, Mom will listen to you." Lee's's personality was soft, he could not be a bad person, and even more so, did not want to make Xia Li unhappy.
When the sky brightened, Xia Chunhua pulled Jin Xi'er and went to find Xia Li. At this time, Xia Li and Sun Chun were preparing to go out but they were blocked by Xia Chunhua.
"Aunt, what are you reluctant to part with? "I can help you do a small business and slowly expand it in the future. At the same time, you'll earn a lot of money." Xia Li said with goodwill, as she wanted to deal with this matter slowly.
"No, I mean, in the future, as long as we reduce our living expenses to one hundred silvers, at least fifty silvers, we can accept it. You also know, when Xi'er's father doesn't have any early, when we are both helpless and helpless, we even relied on Xi'er's singing and singing to trade for some money, but you see, she has already reached the age of a married woman, so it would be difficult for her to find a good family in the future."
"I beg of you, aunty, please don't chase us away." Xia Chunhua pulled Xia Li's hand and pleaded.
Jin Xi'er was actually quite disgusted with Xia Chunhua's begging posture, she felt that she was a little short too, so she quietly glanced at Sun Chun, but his gaze had been on Xia Li the whole time, and she had not even glanced at him once.
Xia Li pushed Xia Chunhua's hand away and calmly replied: "Aunt, let's split up. I've said it before, I can give you some money to do business, but, it's really not suitable for us to live together."
"Aunt is begging you!" Xia Chunhua immediately knelt in front of Xia Li.
"Mother!" Jin Xi'er was shocked as well. He stepped forward to pull her, and she mercilessly pushed him away.
Sun Chun tugged on Xia Li's hand, reminding her: "Today, do we need to go pick medicinal herbs?"
Xia Li looked at Xia Chunhua who was kneeling on the ground, feeling troubled, she helped Xia Chunhua up: "Aunt, why don't you think carefully about how you plan to live your life in the future, you should also be my period of time, let me think, we still have things to do, we need to go out first."
After Xia Li finished speaking, he and Sun Chun left the room together, and headed out the door.
Lee's felt that he could no longer stay in this place anymore. He made up an excuse and went to the ice shop to help entertain the guests. Xia Chunhua and his mother were the only ones left in the courtyard.
"Mom, let's just take the money and leave. There's no need for us to stay here and beg them. Just look at their faces!" Jin Xi'er said bitterly.
"Shut up, what do you know! In these two months, where did you get all this money from by buying rouge, clothes, and jewelry? It was all because of that woman from Lee's and I, little by little, and now that you have been caught by her daughter, she doesn't dare to give us any money. She's a coward, and when she's old, she wants to listen to her daughter, she's so useless! "
Xia Chunhua could not help but frown as he thought of the days to come. He took out his pipe from his waist and started smoking.
"Mom, how did you learn to smoke?" Jin Xi'er was speechless.
"It was taught by the God of Fortune." Hearing that, Jin Xi'er became even more afraid, "It's that creditor who forced uncle to jump off the cliff. Mother, why are you interacting with that kind of person!?"
"You don't know shit! If he doesn't find the prescription for the painkiller, he'll falsely accuse us. We're the ones who pushed your uncle off the cliff and dragged us into the yamen to meet the county magistrate! " When Xia Chunhua brought up this matter, he couldn't be bothered to smoke anymore. He blew out the starfire inside, and started to lose focus, no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Is there nothing we can do? You can tell Xia Li and Sun Chun, after all this is related to them. " Jin Xi'er thought about it and suggested.
"We are meat on the chopping block. At that time, if we really cause a ruckus at the yamen, with that Xia Li girl's personality, she would definitely think that we were the ones who did it. That Master County Yamen took the Rich Man Yang's bribe and wanted to beat us up even more so, so how could we possibly survive?"
Xia Chunhua sighed worriedly.
"In these past few days, you've been trying to please them, bowing and kneeling. Are there any traces of the prescription? What did we get? I don't want to live like this at all. " Jin Xi'er clenched his teeth in anger.
"Don't talk nonsense, you should get dressed properly now. How can you say you don't like money!" Didn't you say that you want to snatch Sun Chun away from your hands?
Xia Chunhua tried to agitate his own daughter.
"I cannot take back that sort of man. He is a human, not an item. He is not something that I can take away just because I want him. However, if I cannot obtain him, I can destroy him." She pulled Xia Chunhua's hand and reminded him, "Mother, they said that they were going to pick the herbs. I remember that they often go to Nine Dragon Mountain, where the Tianshui Village is located.
"You're right, let's hurry up and leave." This time, Xia Chunhua reacted and both of them ran to chase after Xia Li and Sun Chun.

Kowloon Mountain
He had been to Nine Dragons Mountain countless times before, but the water was still flowing here, and the vegetation was verdant and verdant. As he strolled down the mountain, he was startled by the sound of birds flying, and the fragrance of flowers filled his nose.
Along the way, Xia Li and Sun Chun picked all sorts of medicinal herbs that they could see, and as they were leaving from the foot of the mountain, in less than an hour, they had already climbed all the way up to the middle of the mountain.
Xia Chunhua and Sun Chun, who had promised to catch up with Xia Li and Sun Chun, and who had obtained the prescription, had only climbed for a short while before their waists and backs started aching, and they hid in the shade to take a breather.
All the way until Xia Li and Sun Chun came down from the mountain, Xia Chunhua and Jin Xi'er had no choice but to hide, they kept following him.
"I seem to have eaten too much ice water. My stomach is a bit uncomfortable." Xia Li was just about to find a reason to leave so that he could enter the space when he shot her a glance. Xia Li only felt that it was a little strange, and did not understand what he meant.
"Come with me!" Sun Chun said as he pulled Xia Li away.
"What are you trying to do? We haven't taken the medicine we collected." Xia Li muttered to himself, but still followed Sun Chun and left.
"She left together with Sun Chun. This is our chance." Xia Chunhua said as he pulled Jin Xi'er away.
"Mom, this medicinal formula is such a secretive matter. They shouldn't be so careless, right?" Jin Xi'er obviously did not believe it.
"Regardless if it is true or not, we should at least take a look at it. We can't do anything about it!" Xia Chunhua did not bother to pay attention to Jin Xi'er as she ran over by herself. Looking left and right, she took the opportunity when no one was around to flip Xia Li's basket upside down.
After rummaging with great effort, Bara immediately carried a bundle, hid it in his bosom, and ran to Jin Xi'er's side, pulling her along.
"Mom, how about we follow them for a while longer? Maybe we'll find something else after that?"
Jin Xi'er wanted to stay a little longer.
"No, we've already been out for a long time. If we don't go back now, it will arouse suspicion." Xia Chunhua said, his heart racing as he pulled Jin Xi'er away.
When the surroundings returned to silence, Xia Li and Sun Chun came out from their hiding place.
"Looks like there's another person who is concerned about your medicinal formula." Sun Chun smiled.
Xia Li didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, "So that's why my mother and I used money to raise two ingrate? Eat what's ours, wear what's ours, and still think about my medicine. "
"Mhmm, you're very lucky." Sun Chun walked forward with large strides, unrestrained and unrestrained, his footsteps light and light, yet Xia Li's every step was as if he was filled with lead, heavy and heavy.
"What are you still standing there for?" Quickly chase after them! "
