C70 (1/2)
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.
