Three hundred silver! Only half! Jin Xiaotao's legs seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move an inch.

Canned food? The plain canned potato and beef?

That can actually sell for six hundred liang?

Jin Xiaotao was speechless. She passed the rinsing bowl in her hands to the servant girl and leaned on the flower pillar at the side of the hall as she listened to the activities in the hall.

"Urgent use? What happened to Lady Xiaolou? " Seeing that Jin Xiaolou was serious, she immediately put down her chopsticks and asked in concern.

Jin Xiaolou could tell that He Yu's concern for him was real, so she shook her head and replied, "Everything in the house is fine, there's nothing wrong with it.

"So that's how it is." He Zheng nodded, "Then tomorrow, how about we hand over the money and hand over the goods?"

"Really?" Jin Xiaolou was extremely happy.

And Justice laughed: "Originally, you should have paid for the canned food first, but that's only because we agreed on the rules beforehand. Since we are in need of money right now, we will each take a step back and pay you half. At that time, if anything happens to your canned food, you must return the money to me. "

He was not wealthy, but three hundred silver taels was still a small sum to him.

The reason why he wanted to say this was because he had always followed the rules with righteousness, especially the rules that had already been set. He wanted to believe in Jin Xiaolou this once, and he hoped that his belief in Jin Xiaolou would not be wrong.

"Thank you and your excellency. We'll have the goods ready tomorrow morning and await your excellency's order."

Jin Xiaolou stood up, cupped her hands, and thanked justice.

Jin Xiaotao took a deep breath, one hand holding onto her thumping heart, he held onto her clothes while she walked towards the hall, then turned and said to her servant: "Qiu Li, call Jin Xiang to my room, tell her that I have something to talk to her about."

Jin Xiaolou opened the door of the thatched hut while holding the Lotus Root Starch and osmanthus candy in her hands.

A hot stove was lit inside the house. As soon as he entered, he felt warm all over. The chill from the autumn frost that covered the room vanished in an instant.

Madame Ye had already gone back a long time ago, so Gao Lang squatted in front of the stove in the backyard to boil some hot water. Huang Guizhi snuggled onto Jin Xiaolou's green bamboo bed in the cottage, patting Lin'er as she taught him to speak.

Lin'er looked at Gui Qi and started laughing. He started babbling, but before he could finish, he spitted out a bunch of bubbles.

Gui Zhi wiped Lin'er's face clean and placed the little girl under the blanket. Then, he extended two fingers and started to tickle Lin'er.

Before they could scratch it, the Lin'er was already giggling non-stop. The two of them, one big and one small, instantly fell into an uproar.

Seeing that Jin Xiaolou had returned, Gui Qi immediately stood up and picked up Lin'er with one hand and knocked on the window with the other. He called out to Gao Lang who was in the backyard: "Lou is back."

Then, he sent Lin'er into Jin Xiaolou's embrace, "Look Lin'er, whose mother has returned?"

Lin'er turned his small face to the left and right, looking at Jin Xiaolou at the side, his eyebrows immediately opened up, like a new moon that had just revealed its cloud head, his bright and gentle eyes made people's heart soften, and he extended his two small arms that seemed like lotus roots, towards Jin Xiaolou.

Jin Xiaolou immediately caught it and kissed Lin'er in her arms. She passed the butter paper bag in her hands to Gui Qi and said, "I went around to the back street to buy it. People in Xin Ning County say that the candy is the best."

Gao Lang was just about to bring in some hot water and pour a cup of steaming hot tea for Jin Xiaolou: "My wife, drink it quickly. It's cold and chilly outside, drink a cup of hot tea and be careful not to feel cold."

Jin Xiaolou took the tea and wanted to blow on it, but unexpectedly, when it was brought to her mouth, she realized that the temperature of the tea was neither hot nor cold. She laughed and said to Gao Lang: "Hey, Lotus Root Starch sweet cake, you must love it, quickly come and taste it."

Jin Xiaolou looked at Gao Lang who was in high spirits and was opening a paper bag like a child waiting for candy to be eaten. Her eyes blinked, "While you guys are eating the candy, I'll tell you a good news!"

Gao Lang took out a piece of sweet cake. It was white like snow gum, and its surface was stained with some yellowish osmanthus flowers. The moment it was taken out, a fragrant smell filled his nose.

He tore off half of the piece and threw it towards Jin Xiaolou's mouth.

Jin Xiaolou grinned as she opened his mouth to speak. The sweet fragrance of the osmanthus flower and lotus juice gushed into his mouth in one go. This Gao Lang seemed to have brought in the whole autumn as if it had turned into a sweet cake.

Gui Zhi also broke off a small piece and instantly tasted the sweetness from his mouth. It was unknown if it was because the candy was so delicious or because they were by his side, it naturally became sweet.

Gui Zhi looked at the three people in front of him. Jin Xiaolou was carrying Lin'er while Gao Lang stood beside the mother and daughter pair, his head lowered as he fed the candy.

Even though this Gao Lang was a fool, he truly cared for Xiao Lou.

Compared to himself... Gui Qi sighed lightly. It would be better to spend his days with a normal person who didn't love him than with a fool who cared about him wholeheartedly.

Just as she was about to rub it, she heard Jin Xiaolou say: "Tomorrow, Zhixian will come and get the canned food, and at the same time, give us three hundred silver. Once I have obtained the money, we will go and buy the two story building on Soundwave Street."

With that, Jin Xiaolou's moist eyes turned towards Gui Qi: "Gui Qi, when the time comes, we will move to the county. You don't need to live with Jin Dacheng anymore!"

Gui Zhi's eyes itched even more and he cried, "Lou …" "You …"

Before he could finish his sentence, the wooden door of the thatched cottage was kicked open from the outside with a bang.

The man's indignant voice was met with a biting cold wind.

"Master Li Zheng, I'm not spouting nonsense, am I? Jin Xiaolou said those words word for word, Master, did you hear me clearly? "

Outside, Jin Dacheng and Jin Lei were standing right beside him.

Before Jin Xiaolou could figure out what Jin Dacheng was thinking, he heard him continue to speak. "This Jin Xiaolou, ever since she separated from our Jin Family, has been holding a grudge in her heart. This time, she has set her mind on my wife, and did everything she could to incite Gui Qi to leave home. Master Li Zheng, you have to seek justice for me! "

He then shook his robe and walked into the thatched cottage. After looking around, his gaze landed on Jin Xiaolou and slowly said: "Lou, do you want to explain?"

Jin Xiaolou pushed the Lin'er into Gao Lang's embrace and cupped her hands towards Li Zheng. "Li Zheng, you've come at the right time, I was about to look for you.

"Sir Li Zheng, please listen!" Jin Dacheng immediately hooted, "He Li? Does our village have any precedents of separation? This Jin Xiaolou is determined to not let our Jin Family go, and is determined to make me, Jin Dacheng, lose face! "

Jin Lei also spoke up: "Sir Li Zheng, our Jin Family is unique at large. He only has this wife, Gui Qi.

Her eyebrows raised and her voice immediately became stern: "Jin Xiaolou, do you know your crime? "If a woman is incited to disobey the ways of a woman, she will have to suffer the consequences!"

Jin Xiaolou knew about the punishment for the staff, so she pulled the woman in front of everyone and stripped her of her pants and spanked her butt with a stick.

In the ancient times, the death of a staff was small, but it was a big loss. To expose one's ass in front of others was already a great shame, and it could be said that one could not maintain one's innocence.

When Gui Qi heard the two words "Barbarian Staff", his face immediately paled and he rushed over: "It was my own idea to not instigate anyone. I was the one who suggested it, and I wanted to leave Jin Dacheng. It's none of my business."

Jin Dacheng stared intently at Huang Guizhi with his sinister eyes. Gui Zhi didn't dare to look at Jin Dacheng's eyes and only lowered his head, staring at the tip of his shoes.

Jin Xiaolou held onto Gui Qi's hand, and raised her head: "Li Zheng, Jin Dacheng has always beaten Huang Guizhi up, his mood is not good, even when he's drunk he beats up, hitting Gui Zhi and injuring himself. Yesterday, we invited a doctor from the town to treat us, the doctor said that if this goes on, Gui Zhi will die."

Jin Xiaolou took a step forward, her eyes blazing. "Righteous Bestowal, even if you lost Gui Qi's life, you still won't let them leave?"

Li Zheng frowned as he looked at Gui Zhi. He moved his gaze from her pale face to her neck. Her collar was covered by a faint bruise, which could also be seen on the back of her hand.

She knew perfectly well that Jin Dacheng was not only going to beat up Jin Dacheng, but also that there were quite a few men in the Wellhead Village who wouldn't beat up their own women.

It was difficult for the officials of the Qing Dynasty to break up family affairs. As a husband and wife, they were fighting at the head of the bed. When had they ever heard of someone voluntarily leaving because they were beaten up?

You can leave, but you need the consent of the husband and wife to have the man sign the marriage contract. Jin Dacheng, are you willing? Just by knowing, Jin Dacheng was definitely not willing.

Sure enough, Jin Dacheng waved his hands: "If you don't want to, I definitely won't let you go. Huang Guizhi, just give up on this idea, you must follow me, Jin Dacheng, for your entire life!"
