Chapter 30 Thanks

Zhang's understanding of giving away money to ward off disasters.

It was just a matter of giving the county magistrate more silver and asking him to help catch the bandits.

Or he could make more friends with the landlords and gentry in the nearby villages and towns. After all, Liu Fugui had so many daughters, and they would be useful when they got married in the future.

If one fails, I'll send another one to the magistrate...

"Mrs. Jiang, could you please give me some pointers?"

"Madam Liu, what your husband owes will eventually have to be repaid, sooner or later. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you can't keep your wealth but insist on holding on to it, who knows if it will become a death warrant..."

"Now that the cracks have been opened, the further we wait, the more uncontrollable it will become..."

Lu Qingyao had said all she wanted to say, she didn’t believe that Zhang hadn’t understood yet.

Zhang lowered her eyes in thought.

They originally thought that once Liu Fugui fell, the Liu family property would belong to them and their son.

Unexpectedly, one day, this easily obtained money would become a hot potato.

I once tried every possible means to hope that Liu Fugui would die, but he really became a living dead.

She has to clean up the mess.

Spend money?

She couldn't bear to do that.

She had endured for so many years just to find a way to survive for her stupid son and daughter.

Let them have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

She bit her lip and said nothing more.

He nodded slightly towards Lu Qingyao, "Thank you, Madam Jiang, for reminding me. I know what to do now."

After hesitating for a moment, he took the two pieces of brocade from the maid and personally carried them to Lu Qingyao and Liu Yu Niang.

"Madam, please accept these two pieces of cloth. This will be Madam Jiang's token of gratitude for guiding me today."

Liu Yu Niang looked at the cloth and then at Lu Qingyao.

Her sister-in-law has always had her own ideas. She accepted it before she dared to accept it.

Lu Qingyao looked down at the baby in her arms and smiled helplessly.

Without even looking up, he whispered, "Put it there!"

Zhang was puzzled as to why her attitude changed so quickly, and without thinking much about it, she led the maid away.

Jiang Miaomiao looked at her mother with curiosity, which was unlike her usual style.

It can be seen that mother doesn't like this cloth.

I don't like Mrs. Liu either.

But why should I take her things?

Do you want to exchange it for money?

No matter what, don't waste it...

Liu Yu Niang smiled happily, wiped her hands, and then gently stroked the delicate and smooth brocade.

Afraid of getting it dirty or damaged!

Liu Fugui cheated her family of a lot of good land and almost ruined Qiaojie's reputation.

She accepted the brocade with a clear conscience.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of dress do you want to make with this brocade? I want to make a dress for everyone in the family."

Lu Qingyao looked at Liu Yuniang with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law, this is Shu brocade, produced in Shu. It is a rare item among the nobles. An ordinary piece of Shu brocade is worth thirty or forty taels of silver, and the best ones are worth more than that."

"What?"

Liu Yu Niang jumped up and quickly retracted her hand, with an expression of disbelief, "A piece of cloth is worth thirty taels of silver!!"

As a former embroiderer, she had heard of Shu brocade, but had never seen it.

I didn't think it would be so expensive.

Jiang Miaomiao was so scared by her that she peed herself...

Her aunt had to be so exaggerated. She always scared away the flock of birds outside.

If it is real Shu brocade, it is indeed very precious.

But as soon as my aunt made the clothes and wore them out, I was afraid that her house would be robbed.

Liu Yu Niang lowered her voice, as if she had done something wrong. "Sister-in-law, do you think Madam Liu is as ignorant as I am and gave us the wrong fabric and then came back to ask for it later?"

She couldn't understand why Mrs. Liu would be willing to give up such precious fabric.

She still had some doubts.

"That's possible." Lu Qingyao smiled at her.

Jiang Miaomiao thought her aunt was silly and cute.

Look, Mrs. Liu is wearing this Shu brocade, and her Liu family runs the largest cloth shop in Qingshi Town.

No matter how expensive it is, there are still a few pieces of Shu brocade in the store.

How could she possibly be wrong?

However, why did Zhang give such expensive Shu brocade?

She doesn't seem like such a generous person.

Jiang Miaomiao was a little confused.

Liu Yu Niang stood up and paced around the room, muttering as she walked, "What should we do? Sister-in-law, why don't we hide the Shu brocade so she can't find it."

“Well, that’s a great idea!”

Lu Qingyao agreed while changing Jiang Miaomiao's diaper.

Liu Yu Niang thought for a while and changed her mind.

"Sister-in-law, why don't we exchange it for money? This is thirty taels of silver!"

Jiang Miaomiao fell asleep in her mother's arms, listening to her aunt's snoring.

There was still a pacifier in his mouth.

The birds were particularly quiet today, and it was dark when little Miaomiao woke up again.

Lying in big brother's arms.

She turned her little head and looked around, her mother should not be at home.

It’s so late, where would mother go?

When I saw the oil stains on the eldest brother's chin, I knew they had eaten.

But she was still hungry.

She pouted her little mouth towards her brother and said, "I want to eat... I want to eat..."

"Miaomiao, be good. Mommy will be back soon. Drink some goat milk first."

The little girl danced with joy as she watched her second brother give her the warm goat milk.

I fell asleep while eating.

She felt like something was whispering in her ear.

When they opened their eyes, they saw a chirping bird circling above their heads, finally landing on the green bamboo.

Chirping.

[A lot of people came to Liu Fugui's house... a lot of soldiers...]

[Hiding quietly...]

Jiang Miaomiao was completely confused.

There were soldiers hiding in Liu Fugui's house.

Are you trying to catch a thief?

It seems that Madam Liu has invited officers and soldiers from the government office.

Jiang Miaomiao felt that it had nothing to do with her family, so she didn't think much about it.

Fell into a deep sleep again.

Chen time.

It's already daybreak.

As soon as Jiang Miaomiao opened her eyes, she was lying in her mother's arms again.

Her mother said that children would easily catch a cold if they slept alone, so she was tied up in her mother's arms.

When the baby wakes up, put him in the cradle to dry his butt in the sun.

As long as there is sunshine, you should bask in it.

There were many birds in the peach trees today, and the discussion became quite heated.

Fortunately, Jiang Ziyan was not studying, otherwise he would have disturbed him.

Jiang Miaomiao pricked up her ears and listened.

[At four or five o'clock in the morning, the two thieves entered the Liu family's house...]

[It seems he was caught stealing cloth.]

[That cloth is so beautiful...]

Suddenly a few birds flew over.

[Hurry up! Landlord Liu's wife is leading soldiers here...]

Jiang Miaomiao was shocked when she saw the flock of birds suddenly flying away from the peach tree.

Thinking back to what the bird had just said, she wondered why the soldiers came to her house.

I feel like my little head isn't enough.

Shu Brocade...

It must be the trouble caused by those two pieces of Shu brocade yesterday.

Jiang Miaomiao babbled and stretched out her little hands asking her second brother to hold her.

Jiang Ziyan carried her around the house and yard, and only then did Jiang Miaomiao stop.

He lay back in the cradle obediently.

She didn't see the Shu brocade.

I wonder if my mother hid it or sold it for money?

Jiang Miaomiao's face was wrinkled with worry.

The door was half-open, and she could already hear footsteps not far away.

Getting closer.

Many people...
