Chapter 38 Xie Hanchuan has brought the money.

Disappointed, he walked to the herb seedlings he had thrown in during the day, picked them up, and planted them along the edge of the Spirit Dew Spring.

The soil around Linglu Spring was moist, so after Lin Luoxi planted the herb seedlings, she didn't need to come out to fetch water to water them anymore.

Just as he was about to leave the space, he remembered the silver money he had plundered from Old Lin's house. He walked over to a small bundle wrapped in fine cotton cloth, opened it, and raised an eyebrow.

It seems the Lin family has squeezed Lin Dayou quite a bit over the past few years. This pile in front of him adds up to more than thirty taels. Hmm, quite a windfall.

However, because she had money in her purse, Lin Luoxi slept soundly in bed after she came out.

This was the deepest sleep Lin Luoxi had ever had since she came to this era.

When she was about to regain her senses, she heard Lin Dayou talking to someone in the yard.

Hearing something about finding his daughter, Lin Luoxi immediately opened her eyes.

"ah!"

"Lin Luoning, what are you doing so early in the morning? You scared me!" As soon as Lin Luoxi opened her eyes, she saw Lin Luoning staring at her with her almond-shaped eyes wide open. She was terrified, thinking she had seen Sadako.

"Hehe, sister, I've noticed that you've become more beautiful. Your skin is fair, and you don't look like a child from our country family at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I don't look like a country kid, whose child do I look like?"

"By the way, who's talking to Dad outside?" Lin Luoxi rolled her eyes at Lin Luoning and quickly stood up.

"Oh! It's Brother Han Chuan!" Lin Luo Ning, whose topic had been successfully diverted, didn't remember what she had just asked and followed Lin Luo Xi's train of thought.

"Oh! Looks like the God of Wealth has arrived to bring money!" Lin Luoxi casually tied her hair up with a strip of cloth and opened the door to the room.

"Creak!" The simple door opened with a loud noise, successfully attracting the attention of the two people talking in the courtyard.

"Xie Hanchuan, you've arrived!" Lin Luoxi looked into the courtyard and then at Xie Hanchuan, who was looking over. After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered that the young man had mentioned her name last night.

Yesterday it was too late, and I was in a rush, so I didn't notice what the boy in front of me looked like.

Seeing it today, Lin Luoxi was quite surprised.

Her fair skin makes her look nothing like a country bumpkin. To borrow Lin Luoning's words, this is what modern people often call "cold-toned fair skin."

With his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, coupled with his chiseled facial features, he was quite handsome.

He was dressed in the kind of short shirt that rural men wore in this era, his arms were exposed to the air, his muscles were visibly bulging, and he was full of power. His two long legs were straight and strong against the backdrop of the coarse cloth.

I can hardly believe it, beneath those clothes, that muscular chest hides abs honed through years of hard work.

Broad shoulders and narrow hips—experienced women often say this figure is like the best of the best, a source of female sexual happiness.

An indescribable scene flashed through Lin Luoxi's mind, and she almost drooled.

"Yes, I'm here today to pay for yesterday's wild boar." Xie Hanchuan's eyes widened slightly in surprise when he saw Lin Luoxi.

But now that Lin Dayou was still by his side, he didn't have the same boldness as Lin Luoxi, who kept staring at the girl, and after being amazed, quickly looked away.

He glanced at Lin Dayou again, then took out the money from selling the wild boar and handed it to Lin Luoxi.

After all, this money was earned by Lin Luoxi at the risk of her life last night, so naturally he had to hand it over to her personally. As for who would ultimately receive the money, that was not his concern.

"Okay! Thank you!" Lin Luoxi accepted the money without hesitation, right in front of Lin Dayou.

"Here's one tael of silver." Lin Luoxi took out another tael of silver from the five taels and handed it to Xie Hanchuan.

The reason that wild boar could fetch such a high price is definitely because Xie Hanchuan is a regular customer; that's why the buyer paid so much.

Otherwise, if she had gone herself, she wouldn't have been able to sell it for such a high price. Because of this personal favor, Lin Luoxi paid very readily.

Last night, Lin Luoxi told her family that she wanted Xie Hanchuan to help sell the wild boar and promised to give Xie Hanchuan 10% of the proceeds.

Therefore, Lin Dayou, who was standing next to him, did not say anything when he saw Lin Luoxi give money to Xie Hanchuan, even though he felt sorry for the one tael of silver.

"No need for that, I only helped out with a small matter." Xie Hanchuan's ears turned slightly red when he saw the large, fair hand extended in front of him, and he dared not reach out to take the broken silver from that hand.

"What do you mean by 'small favor'? You carried two to three hundred pounds of wild boar to the county to sell all by yourself. That's a huge help, okay? Hurry up and take it."

Lin Luoxi saw that Xie Hanchuan refused to take the money and even glared at him.

After being cleansed by the spiritual dew, Lin Luoxi was radiant, and her most captivating feature was her eyes, which seemed to speak volumes.

Xie Hanchuan's ears turned even redder after being glared at by Lin Luoxi, but fearing that Lin Luoxi would notice something, he reached out and took the broken silver.

"I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." Lin Luoxi smiled with satisfaction after Xie Hanchuan accepted the money, and added that she hoped they could continue to cooperate in the future.

"Okay, I see you have things to do at home, so I'll head back now." Xie Hanchuan said goodbye to Lin Luoxi and Lin Dayou before hurriedly leaving.

God knows, his heart was pounding as he touched Lin Luoxi's palm.

If he didn't leave soon, he was afraid that Lin Dayou and Lin Luoxi would hear his heart pounding in his chest.

"Da Ya, you need to stay away from him from now on." Lin Da You told Lin Luo Xi after watching Xie Han Chuan's figure disappear around the corner of his yard.

"Why?" Lin Luoxi disagreed with Lin Dayou's words, so she asked for the reason.

"Everyone in the village says he's a jinx, and if you get too close to him, you'll be cursed and suffer bad luck along with him," Lin Dayou told Lin Luoxi what the villagers were saying.

"Hmph, do you know what it means to be a cursed lone star, Father?"

"Also, you said that when he was born, he killed his parents, and that bandits took their lives."

This is not the outcome he wanted, you know?

He was born without parents, which is already pitiful enough. You're using these feudal ideas to coerce a child; it's completely unfair to him.

Hearing Lin Dayou's words, Lin Luoxi felt sorry for the boy, but was also furious at the villagers' feudalistic thinking.

"People say our family is the poorest in the whole village, and the villagers are afraid to do anything with us."

Lin Luoxi wasn't afraid to hurt Lin Dayou's feelings, and honestly told him what the villagers thought of their family.

"This, this..." Lin Dayou was speechless, feeling frustrated after being rebuked by Lin Luoxi. He didn't know what to say in response.
