Three hundred liang, no more, just right.

Jin Xiaolou sneered in her heart, this Jin Family was truly well-calculated.

”Lou, don't believe him. I only gave him 3 taels of silver for a deposit when I got married. After that, I gave him some cloth and wood tools, as well as some tea cakes and fruits. How could there be 300 taels of silver?”

Jin Xiaolou was not stupid, shshenaturally knew that her Jin Family could not afford three hundred liang of marriage. Back then, she had spent three liang, but now, he was going to repay this debt a hundred times over.

Jin Dacheng swung his arm, and immediately gave Huang Guizhi three or four slaps: ”Cut the crap!”

Jin Xiaolou hurried forward and pulled Jin Dacheng back: ”What are you doing?”

”What for? If I beat up my own wife, do I need your permission? ” Jin Dacheng laughed shamelessly, ”If you don't want Huang Guizhi to get beaten up again, then go and redeem her. Otherwise, from today onwards, I will hit her every night until she dies!”

The corner of Huang Guizhi's mouth split open from the slap. She wanted to smile at Jin Xiaolou to indicate that she was alright, but the corner of her mouth twitched in pain as she bit her lips and endured the pain. Huang Guizhi said: ”Lou, don't be stupid. I've been here for more than three years. I'm not afraid of another thirty years. ”

Jin Dacheng looked at Jin Xiaolou, his lips moved slightly, and he said slowly: ”How about this, this money is also a large sum, I will give you time to consider, you have a lot of time, you can think about it however many days you want. In any case, from today onwards, I will hit her every night at the turn of the night for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Jin Dacheng reached out to pat Huang Guizhi's cheek, and just happened to bounce at the place where it was swollen. Then, he grabbed onto Huang Guizhi, and pulled her back.

Jin Xiaolou laid on her bed and opened her eyes to look at the completed roof above her head.

The roof was mended by Gui Zhi. Gui Zhi spent several days sitting in the yard under the sun, knitting the dried grass, and then going to the stream to dig up the sticky soil and put it on the woven grass.

And spread them over the roof, and add a few layers of broad bark, and finally cover the outside with thatch, so that the roof will not leak again in the rain.

It was just that recently it had been raining heavily. The osmanthus twigs had long since left behind some straw. If it was swept away by the wind and rain, it would then be added to the grass.

Jin Xiaolou looked at the corner where the grass had been woven and covered with mud. She stood up at once, picked up the grass and walked out the door.

After a while, the wind settled and the clouds turned black. In the autumn, the desert turned dark.

Jin Xiaolou went up the ladder to the roof and carefully made up the thatch, little by little, until the roof that was messed by the autumn wind became thick once again.

Then, Jin Xiaolou silently sat on the roof and gazed at the distant horizon and the continuous fields.

At the end of autumn, the fields were desolate and desolate. The grayish-white was now a part of the sky. She took a deep breath, and the air was cold and fresh.

Watching the sun set bit by bit, Jin Xiaolou's heart also darkened inch by inch.

”My wife, the roof is big and cold, you can't do this without me.”

Gao Lang was wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothing and clumsily climbed up the roof.

Jin Xiaolou reached out and pulled him up, and just as Gao Lang sat down next to him while grinning, he immediately took off his cotton clothes and draped it over the back of the person beside him.

”Don't worry my wife, I'm wearing thick clothes!”

After saying that, she tilted her neck and leaned her furry head on Jin Xiaolou's shoulder.

The two of them leaned against each other as they sat there quietly. Neither of them spoke a word as they watched the white clouds gradually merge with the sky and light gradually began to shine.

Jin Xiaolou had already made her decision in her heart long ago, and she chose to choose Huang Guizhi almost without hesitation.

Three hundred taels of silver was nothing to Lou Lan who could freely exchange it for a osmanthus twig. Lou Lan was willing to pay any price.

It was just that this silver was given to Jin Dacheng, no matter how he thought about it, Jin Xiaolou felt that it was too much for him.

The majority of Gui Zhi's suffering was caused by Jin Dacheng, but right now, he was even being threatened by Jin Dacheng to hand over the two story house that was within reach to him …

”Is my wife unhappy?” Gao Lang moved his head, and rubbed it on Jin Xiaolou's neck, ”Are you lacking silver? ”If my wife is short on money, then just sell me. I am worth a lot of money; earlier, that auntie wanted to buy me for 500 taels of silver!”

Jin Xiaolou did not know whether to laugh or cry. She still remembered what happened at Nan Feng Hall.

Jin Xiaolou remembered Gao Lang's thoughts, it was just those words she said, and it was just a child's nonsense that was blown away by the wind.

Jin Xiaolou scratched her ears and casually asked: ”If you had been given the choice to choose, which one would you choose, opening a two story shop and a branch of the small house?”

After saying that, he lowered his head and laughed.

After staying with Gao Lang for a long time, he had become foolish himself, and actually asked Gao Lang such a question. I'm afraid he doesn't understand what a shop means, or what osmanthus means to him.
