Chapter 7 Money and goods are cleared
The guy looked around with a shocked expression.
"This thing...wait a moment, girl." He quickly entered the inner room.
It was the first time for Mrs. Xu to come to such a place. She was a little nervous. She said: "Be polite when talking to people. Don't offend the boss. How many collectors are there in this world? You young people..."
Li Yinwan smiled, "Don't worry, Mom, I know what's going on."
Standing quietly aside, Xu Yuanhan's eyes were as bright as a torch.
The jasper earrings were of average quality, and he had seen better ones.
However, the polishing process and style are very novel and cannot be completed by ordinary skilled craftsmen.
He looked at Li Yinwan with a deep look in his eyes, wondering what other secrets his "pillow person" had.
Not long after, a slightly fat middle-aged man walked out of the backyard. Seeing Li Yinwan's withered face and the attire of the two people behind him, he was slightly startled and put on a smiling face.
"If your surname is Zhang, just call me Boss Zhang. How do you call this person?"
"Surname Li."
"Miss Li, this thing..." Boss Zhang chuckled, "Does it have a good origin? We don't accept things that come from evil ways here."
"It's my mother's relic." Li Yinwan looked as usual, "I know this is a good item. Boss Zhang will give me a sincere price. Although there are no other pawn shops, some wealthy families should want it."
After saying these words, the contempt in Boss Zhang's eyes subsided slightly, "Miss Li, these days there is war and chaos, and there are successive years of famine. Although the things are good, we don't have the price to give them to you, at most five taels of silver."
"What, it's worth five taels of silver!" Mrs. Xu's eyes widened, she must have known that it took her family three years of continuous work to save so much money!
Xu Yuanhan remained calm and glanced at Li Yinwan.
In normal times, the craftsmanship of this piece of jasper would be worth fifty taels, but now... five taels is considered a relatively fair price.
Li Yinwan raised his eyebrows and directly misinterpreted Mrs. Xu's meaning, "Boss Zhang, I think you are an honest person, but my mother can see that this thing is more than five taels. I don't want more, besides five taels of silver,
Plus a bag of black noodles, a bag of sweet potatoes, and a cart for traveling."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Boss Zhang's face, "The supplies you want... are not easy to get."
"This jasper can earn Boss Zhang several times the profit when the war subsides." Li Yinwan did not let up at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Boss Zhang agreed.
The two quickly signed a death contract, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.
While waiting for Boss Zhang and his assistant to prepare carts and supplies, Mrs. Xu and Xu Yuanhan stared at Li Yinwan intently, as if they had a lot to ask.
Li Yinwan curled her lips and said, "Mom, husband, I am not a fool. You have also seen the situation of the Li family. I don't dare to show any cleverness to Yinqiao. Now everything is just to survive..."
The original owner was actually not stupid either.
It's just that she was sucked out of luck, and coupled with Li Yinqiao's aura as the heroine, she looks weak and unclear, but occasionally she is a little smart.
Now what she said can be explained as everything is done to protect oneself and survive.
Mrs. Xu sighed, "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite."
Xu Yuanhan was noncommittal, the suspicion in his eyes never dispelled.
After nearly a stick of incense, Boss Zhang rushed back panting. The waiter pushed a cart with a bag full of sweet potatoes and half a bag of black noodles.
"Miss Li, food is expensive these days, so I can't even get a bag together at once. Look..." Boss Zhang was embarrassed.
Li Yinwan thought for a while, "I just saw some unused linen at Boss Zhang's place. Can you give it to me?"
Boss Zhang agreed immediately.
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
It’s just that this car is a bit heavy... The original owner was thin and it was very difficult to push it.
"I'll do it." The man's voice was gentle and clear.
Li Yinwan hesitated to let go. Taking advantage of the lack of people in the alley, he divided the money into two parts and said, "Mom, these are for you. Our family also needs to buy something to supplement the family income."
Mrs. Xu didn't answer and rolled her eyes, "Are you here to please me? If you're lame and can't keep up, there's nothing I can do. I can't kill our whole family just because of you."
"I don't mean that." Li Yinwan smiled, "Mom, just take it. After all, I am also our daughter-in-law."
After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Xu slowly accepted it.
In fact, this also implies that on the way to escape, as long as the safety of others is not harmed, Mrs. Xu will not leave her alone easily.
This is enough.
Li Yinwan has already researched the prescription, but it only requires ingredients and time. As she is about to escape, there is a high probability that she will not be able to recover in a few days.
"Finally come to town, let's go buy something." Mrs. Xu now has money in her hands, and she has to make better plans, "Why didn't you let him give you more money just now? Half a bag of black noodles was missing.
.”
"It's hard to find this food, and I'm probably not willing to pay for it. Linen... I'm of great use." Li Yinwan smiled mysteriously.
The three of them went to the market to do some shopping.
There are many people in the market, but most of them are selling their sons and daughters, or holding livestock in search of a way out...
There are a few vendors selling grain, and the prices are extremely high.
Mrs. Xu bought some seeds and a bag of stick noodles, and she only had one tael of money left in her hand. "This money is like running water... How can I eat this on the road?"
Xu Yuanhan looked at Li Yinwan and saw her squatting in front of an old man, pointing to a pair of shriveled cows and calves and asking for their price.
Cows can pull carts, and calves can also be used as laborers when they are raised. If that doesn't work, they can still be killed for meat.
Just looking for food along the way...
In his opinion, it's not a good idea.
Xu Yuanhan completely regarded himself as a bystander and had no sense of danger of escaping. After rebirth, he knew where to find water and food.
Everyone will die except him.
Li Yinwan finally spent a tael of silver to buy the cow mother and son, and directly tied them with chains to pull the cart. Xu Yuanhan was also laid off with honor.
She went to the pharmacy to buy some needed medicinal materials, but she could only afford ginseng slices.
Li Yinwan was not discouraged.
In the book, Li Yinqiao found a century-old ginseng in a deserted house due to his luck and physical constitution, and later saved the life of the male protagonist in the book, the national master Shen Mouyuan, because of this ginseng.
Judging by the time, the ginseng should still be there.
Li Yinwan would never let go of an advantage.
The three of them returned to Lihua Village before the sun was about to set.
Before entering the yard, I heard a noise.
Someone is causing trouble at their house?
"Village Chief Liu, believe me. I am the head of the Li family. I have known you for many years. You know my character. I am already old. Yin Wan is also my granddaughter. How could I talk nonsense? ?Yin Wan’s temper has changed drastically, she must have been possessed by evil spirits!”
"Yes, Yinwan is just telling lies now." Li Yinqiao's voice was particularly outstanding. "She also said some crazy words and didn't even recognize us family members. If you don't believe me, ask her brother if he is the same as her. It’s like a different person!”
After being quiet for a while, Li Yufu whispered: "She is a little different, but..."
Before he could finish his words, he was overpowered by a louder scolding. Zhou Dazhuang lost his fear in the morning and said, "Fuck! I'm a rough talker, but Village Chief Liu, listen, this married girl has been tricked." Evil, that’s it, the Li family is also willing to take responsibility! Her mother’s family is her mother’s family, unlike some people who don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup they poured into her!”
Thanks to the readers for correcting their mistakes. After re-reading, I discovered the line between mother and child. There will be chapters that echo this in the future.
Chapter completed!
