Lin Jinyue sold them cheaply; one pack for you, one pack for me, and they were all gone in no time.

It was almost noon, and there were only about twenty packs left in the basket.

It looks like it's selling quite well. We can sell more tomorrow and just bring the pot over to cook it fresh.

The aroma of that stir-fry is guaranteed to make your mouth water.

Just then, a familiar person came over.

Xie Hong looked at Lin Jinyue and said, "Oh, couldn't find a shop, so you're here to rent a stall?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinyue was almost 100% certain that Xie Hong was behind her inability to rent a shop.

She's both vain and stingy; there's no one else like her.

Lin Jinyue would never thank him for helping the people of Linjia Village spend so much money to buy land.

If she hadn't been able to meet such demanding requirements, everyone in Linjia Village would probably have had to run around the village, shouting that they were pigs as they ran.

Lin Jinyue felt no burden at all in acquiring so much land.

She won that bet through her own abilities.

Seeing that Xie Hong had ruined her plans, Lin Jinyue was certain she wouldn't let it go so easily.

Xie Hong picked up a snail with a hint of disdain.

Finding the taste quite good, Xie Hong said, "I'll take the rest."

Lin Jinyue hated this person with a passion, but her eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled. "Alright, five taels of silver a pack, and there are twenty packs left. Do you want some?"

Xie Hong, used to being lavish, didn't think much of it and scolded the stiff-faced, slow-moving women, "What are you standing there for? Wrap it up for me."

As he spoke, the servant took out a silver note containing one hundred taels of silver.

Lin Jinyue: "If you want money, we don't accept banknotes here."

The servant took a deep breath. If he hadn't seen Lin Jinyue talking to General Gu before, he would have kicked the whole thing over long ago.

After the others gave them the silver and walked away, the other women panicked.

The wealthy wife asked, "Er Ya, that's a high-ranking official. Is it really okay for us to be so heartless as to cheat him like this..."
