The surrounding crowd buzzed as they whispered to each other.

Jin Xiaolou was suddenly enlightened in her heart. The matter with Gui Qi was originally unclear, maybe Liu Jiedi did not even have a hairpin, and what she wanted to prove was only herself.

She continued: "Jin Dacheng is not stupid, since he agreed to let us go, then it must be beneficial for him, the benefit is three hundred silver."

With that said, the crowd immediately became rowdy.

Three hundred silver taels, this amount was something that no one in the village had ever heard of.

"I traded the three hundred taels of silver that I earned from selling the canned food with Jin Dacheng for a letter for his wife. Jin Dacheng gave the money to Golden Fragrance, who brought the money to the Xin Ning to donate to Jin Dacheng."

Jin Xiaolou explained everything in detail.

"Sir Li Zheng, if you investigate now, you will definitely be able to find three hundred taels of silver from Golden Fragrance. Give this banknote to He Zheng for confirmation, and everything will be clear."

Liu Yuyan's face suddenly became very unsightly.

Liu Yuyan thought that Jin Xiaolou would probably say three hundred silver, but when Jin Xiaolou took the silver that evening, it was just a passing gesture on her part. She immediately brought it back to the Xin Ning through the night with Golden Fragrance.

This was something that only the people from the Jin Family knew. Liu Yuyan knew this, but Jin Xiaolou definitely would not know.

Like this, even if Jin Xiaolou brought up the matter of the banknotes, Liu Yuyan could just let Jin Zheng search through the house, when she could not find anything, it would prove that Jin Xiaolou was lying.

Only, Liu Yuyan did not expect Jin Xiaolou to know about the locations of the banknotes so clearly, even knew about the location of the donation.

When he glanced at the expressions of the people in the courtyard, he had already come to a conclusion.

Snorting coldly, he rushed to the Jin Family and said, "Make all these moths for me! Today, I will be the one in charge, all the villagers will testify, Huang Guizhi and Jin Dacheng have completely left each other, where is the one who let go of his wife? "Take it out!"

The Madame Wu glanced at Liu Yuyan, who staggered two steps and said unhappily: "I threw it into the fecal pit."

"Then write another one, otherwise return Jin Xiaolou's silver back to her!" There was a bellyful of fire inside.

He was already stressed over the matter of the plague, and at this critical juncture, he had to keep repeating the same thing with his Jin Family!

Jin Xiaolou saw how serious she looked and knew that he was going to make an example out of her and teach her a lesson.

He seized the opportunity and gave chase, "Not only did you send me a letter, Jin Family also took away one of my things, which has yet to return."

"What?" He was touching the space between his eyebrows.

"A jade pendant." Jin Xiaolou said clearly, "That was left to me by my child's father. It was a certificate that our family recognized, but it was snatched away by the Madame Wu."

Jin Xiaolou had wanted to get back at Madame Wu for that jade pendant a long time ago, but she didn't have the chance.

With that, the Madame Wu shouted, "Everyone listen to me, listen to me! Jin Xiaolou, the one who was struck by lightning, actually openly calls out my name. Our Jin Family has truly been struck with bad luck for eight lifetimes, to have produced such an unfilial son, Blood Sucking Worm! "

"Don't yell yet!" Li Zhengzhi's head hurt even more. "Are you going to take it or not?"

"I did." Madame Wu did not hide anything, and admitted it immediately, "However, Jin Xiaolou was still not married at that time, and was even the granddaughter of my Jin Family, so the jade pendant was personally given to me by her, I have already pawned it over for a long time. I don't have the jade pendant now, if you have the ability, then call that evil being Jin Xiaolou to take my life!"

As Madame Wu spoke, she threw the staff away and sat on the ground, looking like a dead pig unafraid of being roasted in water.

"Impossible!" You can never be that jade pendant! "

Jin Xiaolou did not believe what the Madame Wu was saying. In the Madame Wu's heart, that jade pendant was an important object in marriage, how could she take it to be?

"How is that impossible?" Madame Wu was determined not to let go, "Such a big family needs to be fed, and you are also a free living loser, if I don't use my jade pendant to exchange for food, you will already be starved to death, now that you have eaten mine, you still want me to spit out the jade pendant for you, Jin Xiaolou, you truly are a blind wolf!"

Liu Yuyan and Zhou Qing Xia immediately went to help the Madame Wu.

Liu Yuyan even shed two streams of tears: "Lou, this is your grandmother! Are you really heartless? "

The villagers who were watching the show outside the courtyard immediately stood at the Jin Family area and pointed at Jin Xiaolou.

No conscience, no filial piety, a jackal, a tiger, a leopard...

The words jumped into Jin Xiaolou's ears one by one.

Jin Xiaolou was clear that the jade would not return today.

"Alright, alright." Li Zheng could no longer bear it any longer. "Sign the letter for your wife yourself. This matter shall end here."

He then coaxed the people at the door, "If you have the spare time, you might as well go and dig in the ground, and disperse!"

When Jin Xiaolou returned to the thatched cottage, she did not bother to tidy up the place and immediately went to check on Gui Qi.

The cold wet clothes clung to the osmanthus branch and blew a gust of cold wind in the yard, causing the osmanthus branch to tremble uncontrollably from the cold.

Jin Xiaolou wanted to boil some hot water to bathe Gui Qi, but she remembered that the stove in the backyard was smashed by the Jin Family.

Seeing that, the Madame Ye hurriedly said: "Let's go to my house, Lou, your house cannot be slept in tonight."

Jin Xiaolou had no other choice, so she nodded: "Then I'll be troubling Aunt."

Madame Ye was anxious: "There's no need to be polite. My house only has two old things, they are always cold and cheerless. You guys have added more liveliness to it, I am very happy!"

He then turned to leave, "You guys pack up the osmanthus twigs and change clothes. I'll go back and cook first!"

The Sun family had made some money by making caskets, corking, and making some money. They went into the town to buy several kilograms of pork, chopped down cypress leaves, and smoked some cured meat for several days.

After the Madame Ye left, the taciturn Zhou Shuli slowly spoke: "I'll leave the things here, this child ..." Zhou Shuli sent the Lin'er into Jin Xiaolou's embrace. He was worried about Gui Zhi, but didn't even dare to look at her. "I have to go back, if not my mother would be worried.

Before he left, he finally raised his head. His gaze swept past Gui Zhi and only caught a glimpse of a person's shadow. He didn't dare to look any further and lowered his head. Then, he walked away.

"Thank you." Jin Xiaolou thanked him after he quickly left.

After Gui Zhi had changed into a clean set of clothes, he tidied up a warm overcoat in the messy clothing room and came out. With one hand holding Lin'er and the other holding the fish and crab, he and Gui Zhi then walked towards the Carpenter Sun's house.

Just as he arrived at the courtyard entrance, he could smell the fragrance of roasted meat.

Madame Ye tied up her clothes and came out of the kitchen to let Carpenter Sun pour the hot water into the wooden basin.

"Gui Zhi will first take a bath, only then will he be warm." Madame Ye took the Lin'er and Fish Crab.

Carrying an oil lamp, Jin Xiaolou and Gui Qi arrived at the back of the mud hut.

Behind Carpenter Sun's house was a row of grapefruit trees. There was a bamboo wall surrounding the two slabs of stone and a curtain was hung over it. This was the place to bathe.

The wooden basin was already filled with steaming water. Two small basins beside it held cold water and a large ladle of water. Clean handkerchief hung on the wall.

Jin Xiaolou hung the oil lamp on the bamboo wall and was about to leave when Gui Zhi suddenly called out to her. "Little Lou, accompany me outside. I'm a little scared. "

There was a night wind blowing the grapefruit forest, the tree shadow swaying between the bamboo walls.

Jin Xiaolou laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so timid."

In the dim light, Huang Guizhi's face was completely red. Jin Xiaolou did not agree, nor did she leave, instead she leaned her back against the bamboo wall and looked at the pitch black night sky between the grapefruit trees. All she could hear was the crashing of water behind him.

A warm atmosphere rose up from the cracks in the bamboo wall, scratching Jin Xiaolou's neck.

Jin Xiaolou stretched out her hand to scratch it, but suddenly remembered that there was another letter in her arms.

He joked: "Gui Qi, Zhou Shuli wrote a love letter for you, I'll read it to you!"

"What .." "What love letter .." Huang Guizhi was embarrassed.

Jin Xiaolou held the letter in her hand properly, without tearing it open, but pretended to read it. "My dear Gui Zhi, I am Zhou Shuli, and have liked you since many years ago. Mn, I have liked you for a long time, as if I liked that .."

Jin Xiaolou raised her head and looked at the moon shrouded in clouds, and held back her laughter.

"Lou..." Stop reciting it! " Huang Guizhi was both embarrassed and anxious, she never expected that the bookworm Zhou Shuli's writing skills would be so bold.

"It's like liking the moon in the sky!" Jin Xiaolou continued to make it up, and she felt that Gui Zhi looked really cute and knowledgeable, so I guess you must be Chang'e who came down to earth. I also want to be Wu Gang and chop down a thousand osmanthus trees in front of your house for you! "Just for..."

The bamboo wall was not high, and Gui Zhi, who was standing on tiptoe, could see Jin Xiaolou's furry head. When she heard the bold words read out by the house, she became extremely anxious, but she could not get out of the house in her birthday suit. She could only jump up with all her might, but she managed to grab Jin Xiaolou's letter just in time.

When Gui Qi held the letter in his hand, he realized that Jin Xiaolou was just teasing him. He unhappily scooped up a spoonful of water and splashed it towards Jin Xiaolou.

The laughter of the two people could be heard by the Madame Ye in the front row of the courtyard.

Madame Ye also had a smile on her face. She only wished for the two girls to be this happy forever.

Inside the room, Jin Dacheng suddenly sat up on the bed with the medicinal paste on his neck: "Didn't you promise that you would bring back the Gui Qi for me?"

Madame Wu and Madame Zhou immediately snatched it and pushed Jin Dacheng back onto the bed.

The Madame Wu repeatedly said, "Aiyo, why are you in such a hurry? The wound has split open again after careful observation."

Madame Zhou had already wiped away her tears, "Mother, please review your logic. Yuyan's words are very pleasant to hear, but when it comes to our matured wives, not only did we not talk about it, she even injured us. I am truly bitter in my heart .."

Liu Yuyan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "They are all shallow people, but I, Liu Yuyan would rather die than live. I gave three hundred taels to you, Jin Dacheng, as a donor, what good will I, Liu Yuyan, get?" "When Jin Dacheng becomes an official, what kind of daughter-in-law wouldn't he be able to marry? Why would he care about a mere Huang Gui?

After Zhou Qing Xia heard this, she immediately stopped crying. She looked at Liu Yuyan and said: "Son, your Third Aunt is right.

"No way!" Jin Dacheng sat up again, "I don't care, I just want Huang Guizhi! I only want her! You lied to me and let her out, so you have to think of a way to take her back! "
