Chapter 43 Trouble
In her previous life, Bai Jingwen had also heard that seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasures, but she didn't expect it to refer to 16 taels, and the five taels she took can only be regarded as ordinary ginseng.

Then he said, "Okay, trust Master Li."

"Miss Xiaowen, the total is 110. I don't know if you want bank notes or silver." Master Li went to the counter and asked after pulling the abacus a few times.

Bai Jingwen thought about exchanging money now, not only would there be no interest, but the money would be deducted, so she said: "I want silver. Five of them are 20 taels, 35 taels, and the rest are broken silver and copper plates."

"Okay, wait a moment."

The three siblings took the money and happily went to the grain store to buy some rice noodles and miscellaneous grains, went to the bookstore to buy a few knives of paper, and each of them bought a pair of shoes before rushing home.

And behind them, not far from the town, a young man was being violently beaten by two big men.

"Big brother, third brother, don't hit me. I really know them. That girl is really good at fighting. Last time, Liu Zi and I were knocked down by her in a few strokes. Now that we know who she is, we should steal it at night." It's safer." The young man who was beaten screamed back.If Bai Jingwen was here, she would definitely recognize that the one who was beaten was one of the three people hired by Mi Li last time.

"Shuanzi, Shuanzi, stop and I have something to ask you." Not long after the carriage entered the village, Mrs. Zhang stopped the carriage with Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Zhang and shouted.Looking at this posture, Bai Jingwen knew that she knew about their purchase of land.

"Hey, grandma, what do you want?" Shuanzi asked after getting out of the carriage and calling to stop the horse.

"What else can I do? I heard that you bought nearly [-] mu of land. Where did the money come from?" Mrs. Zhang asked confidently.

"I said grandma, it's not from you that you have too much control over the money." Bai Jingwen hurriedly got out of the car when she saw the real thing and asked, she knew Shuan Zi couldn't stand it.

"I'm your grandma, so I can't ask. You have so much money, why don't you say that you are filial to me, and you have your father and a big family? We can't even thirst for soup because you only eat meat every day. "Lao Zhang stood in front of the carriage and pointed at her nose and cursed.

"I said, grandma, you need to have a longer memory, okay? How many times have I told you that you got 20 taels of silver from me. How much did your other grandchildren give you, 100 taels or 1000 taels for you?" So look down on the 20 taels of silver.

Go to the village and ask who can give you so much, even one tael a year for your son’s pension is enough, 20 taels is worth it in 20 years, I beg you, stop making trouble every day, you In that mood, I don't have the time yet. "After Bai Jingwen finished speaking, she bowed with her palms together.

"As for my father, he has six acres of land to support Mrs. Zhang and the others. It's good enough for me to give some meat and cloth from time to time. But I still have to raise two children? Why don't you think about it? What is my difficulty? Is it easy for me? I am a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and I have to raise two and a half children when I go home. Do you think my life is easy?

My two younger brothers and I are also of the blood of the Bai family. Do you have to drink porridge or eat grass roots and bark every day to be happy? God, come and kill me. What is this? kill us. "Bai Jingwen pretended to cry, but seeing that the three of them showed no sign of softening their hearts, they also threw up.

"Xiaowen, that's not what you mean. Since you bought the land, you should rent it to relatives like us. Why would you rent such a good land to outsiders?" Wu stepped forward to persuade Bai Jingwen.

"Auntie, you still love me. A while ago, didn't you say that there was too much work in the field at home? How could I burden you again.

Besides, the land is rented out now, and the deed is signed, what can be done.But if you can give us [-]% of the rent when it expires, it is not impossible for me to rent it to you. "Bai Jingwen grabbed her arms with both hands and sobbed.

"Um, we are all close relatives, how can we still ask for so many rents." Wu did not expect such a high rent to be the same as that of the landlord's house.

"Isn't it all at this price? Otherwise, how will the three of us live, don't you think so?" Bai Jingwen looked at Wu Shi with tears in her eyes, and after a while, Wu Shi defeated Chen Lai.

She always felt that the back of Bai Jingwen's tears was colder than ice knives, so she couldn't look directly at them. If it was someone who came out of the line of life and death, she would immediately see that it was cold and murderous.

Seeing that the little Mrs. Zhang couldn't take advantage of it at all, the old Mrs. Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were humiliated and quietly withdrew from the crowd.

"I'm going to ask you where the money came from right now, and whether you got it by doing some shady things outside." Old Mrs. Zhang ignored her rhetoric and said directly to the target.

"Since grandma really knows, I can only tell the truth. I risked my life to climb over two mountains to collect some precious medicinal materials. Didn't I tell you? If you want to go, I will People who can take you in will also tell you what they look like." Bai Jingwen replied with a normal expression after wiping her face clean with a handkerchief.

"My God, Xiaowen, you really went into the mountain behind. I heard that it is dangerous not only there are poisonous substances, but also wolves come and go from time to time." Bai Yulan exclaimed after hearing this.

"I can't help it. Although it's too slow to get money for embroidery. We need money urgently. But there are good things everywhere in the mountains. If everyone dares to go, I can take it with me and have a companion."

"Yes, I have seen Xiaowen come back with a basket of dog meat on her back several times. I heard that it is quite valuable to sell at the pharmacy. It is a pity that there are no outside, only in the mountains behind." Aunt Wang stood at this moment Come out and say.

"I really know that. I've seen it in many prescriptions. It seems that what Xiaowen said is true. I didn't expect to make money so much by collecting herbs. It seems that we can also form a team into the mountains to look for it when we are free. .”

"Come on, I've heard of it. Last year, Yangzhuang teamed up and went to the mountains to find more than 20 strong laborers. I heard that they encountered wolves. Only twelve came back and five were seriously injured. That's true. Let's exchange our lives for money, we who have houses and land should live our lives well." Seeing that many people were tempted, Bai Yulan told what she heard from her father-in-law, hoping to persuade some people.

"That's right. We have been guarding the mountain for so many years and we know that there are many treasures inside, but no one has gone behind the mountain except those who can't survive in the year of the catastrophe. I think Xiaowen is also recovering now. Don't go into the mountain in the future. Although it will Some punching skills, but you can't help it when you meet a pack of wolves, right?" Aunt Wang came out to persuade.

"I know, I feel at ease when I have the land. From now on, I will embroider some things at home and sell them in the back mountains." Bai Jingwen knew that she was kind and hurriedly agreed.

"Okay, let's go home when it's time to cook. Aunt Zhang, I know that you are soft-hearted, but you can't go on like this, or you will be used as a gun." Bai Yulan Walking over to persuade, at the same time glance at Wu from time to time.Bai Jingwen understood in seconds and said that the powerful ones will come later.

"There are a lot of walnuts, chestnuts and persimmons on this mountain. If you pick them, I'll take them too. The shelled walnuts cost ten cents a catty, the chestnuts cost three cents a catty, and the whole persimmons cost a penny a catty. If you have time If you want, you can look for it." Bai Jingwen thought that more than half of the people in the village were hit by hail today and the harvest was not good, so she mentioned it to make her life easier in the village.
