C63 (1/2)

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.
