"Xiao Yu!"
Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. If being forceful didn't work, she would try being gentle. She said softly, "I know I was in the wrong first, but we used to be good friends. You don't need this thousand taels. Give me a few more days. After I get married to Brother Can, I will return the money to you."
Bai Can felt like he was being taken advantage of.
A dowry of 200,000? Haha!
These betrothal gifts do not belong to the Chu family, nor to Chu Tianjiao, nor to Bai Can... This money is all to be given to Xiao Yu!
Thinking about all this, Bai Can couldn't help but want to slap himself a few times. How could he have been so blinded by greed and taken on this debt?
Why make me sign an IOU when I've already taken it on?
Now there are almost no people defaulting on their debts!
"Have you realized your mistake?"
Xiao Yu looked very surprised.
"yes……"
A look of joy appeared on Chu Tianjiao's pretty face. Sure enough, there was a chance. Xiao Yu, that fool, was only responsive to gentle persuasion and didn't respond to force. He still harbored illusions about her.
"It's good that you can recognize your mistakes!"
Xiao Yu's tone was full of satisfaction as he nodded and said.
Suddenly, his tone changed again, and he said, "Mistakes always come at a price. I'm taking this silver. You have ten days to prepare 150,000 taels of silver, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"you!!!"
Chu Tianjiao then realized that he had been tricked by Xiao Yu.
She could no longer restrain herself, walked over to a guard, and drew his sword.
"A prodigy!"
"sister!"
Bai Can, Chu Tianyou, and all the members of the Chu family all changed their expressions.
At the same time, the two guards that Xiao Yu brought also drew their swords and stood guard on either side of Xiao Yu, their eyes wary.
"You just need to move the silver."
Xiao Yu looked relaxed and sneered, "He's just a defeated opponent, he poses no threat to me! Chu Tianjiao, are you sure you want to draw your sword against me?"
At this point, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Tianjiao, no!"
Bai Can grabbed Chu Tianjiao's hand and whispered, "Xiao Yu even dared to kill Liu Guogong's own nephew. If you push him too far, he won't care about your status!"
Chu Tianjiao was just an ordinary general, whose status was far inferior to that of a duke.
Xiao Yu dared to kill the Duke's own nephew and confront the Duke, who was helpless against him!
Afterwards, His Majesty showed no intention of punishing Xiao Yu...
Thinking of all this, Chu Tianjiao felt a chill run through her limbs. She slowly released the knife from her hand and said dejectedly, "Take the money!"
"Oh."
Xiao Yu let out a sneer, as if to say, "Is that all?"
Then he had the guards carry the silver and left the Chu family directly.
"It seems that after killing Liu Yunfei, I've also gained a bit of a fearsome reputation!"
Xiao Yu walked leisurely down the street with his hands behind his head, muttering to himself, "In this cruel world, having a fearsome reputation is actually quite good. Kind people are bullied, and good horses are ridden. Ha!"
This thousand taels was nothing to Xiao Yu.
News of the MSG and chicken essence has spread, and the Jade Liquid Pavilion is booming, with queues stretching from the hotel entrance to the street corner every day.
At the same time, many restaurants approached Xiao Yu to discuss cooperation. They admired the sound of Jade Liquid Pavilion and, after witnessing the effects of chicken essence and MSG, placed large orders.
In less than an hour, all the MSG and chicken essence produced by Prince Xiao's mansion were sold out.
In just one day, the Xiao Prince's Mansion earned tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Business won't be this good every day, but once they run out of chicken bouillon and MSG, they'll still rush to buy it. Over time, MSG and chicken bouillon will become necessities!" Xiao Yu muttered to himself.
After negotiating prices with the restaurant owners, Xiao Yu handed over the management rights of chicken essence and MSG to his sister-in-law, while Xiao Zhan and some trusted brothers were responsible for production.
For the time being, Xiao Yu doesn't need to manage it; he just needs to count the money.
...
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!"
Watching Xiao Yu leave with the silver, Chu Tianjiao stomped her feet in anger. She grabbed her knife and chopped hard at a big tree to vent her rage.
"Why……"
No one spoke; they simply let out a long sigh.
Their hearts were equally heavy, and they were unable to comfort Chu Tianjiao.
"A prodigy!"
After a moment of silence, Bai Can decided to comfort Chu Tianjiao and then go home.
"Brother Can".
Chu Tianjiao, as if grasping at a lifeline, said, "The Chu family is out of money. Now we can only rely on you. You... don't need much. Just help the Chu family get through this period, okay? After we get married, everything will be alright."
"???"
Bai Can's expression froze for a moment, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
I just want to leave here!
"Good son-in-law, the Chu family can only rely on you!"
Chu Qingshan chimed in, saying, "You can't just stand by and watch Tianjiao's mother get worse without medicine, can you? Tianjiao is about to marry into the Bai family, and we need money to prepare her dowry so we can give our daughter to you in a grand manner!"
"???"
Bai Can's expression froze as he looked at Chu Qingshan with an incredulous gaze.
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
Are you asking me to pay for your daughter's dowry?
Go to hell! Am I marrying Chu Tianjiao, or your entire Chu family?
Bai Can was already cursing in his heart... no, he had started cursing his grandmother!
"Brother Can..."
Chu Tianjiao held Bai Can's hand tightly, and used the same trick again, bringing her red lips to his ear and whispering, "Why don't you stay at the Chu family's for dinner tonight? I'll have a few drinks with you. Although I'm not available these days, I have a way to make you happy."
The warm breath blowing on Bai Can's ears, combined with that seductive voice, made Bai Can's bones go weak instantly, and his body felt lightheaded.
He took out a few silver notes from his pocket and said, "I only have a few hundred taels left. I'll bring some more tomorrow."
"Good, you truly are my good son-in-law."
Chu Qingshan smiled and took the silver note from Bai Can's hand, saying, "Remember to take more tomorrow!"
"Uh... okay."
Bai Can felt a chill run down his spine, but after glancing at Chu Tianjiao's beautiful face with a flushed cheek, he still agreed.
It must be said that Chu Tianjiao is indeed very beautiful; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so infatuated with Xiao Yu before.
Given her status as General Bai Yu, every time she displayed her alluring side, she could completely captivate Bai Can.
"A few hundred taels of silver isn't enough to buy medicine for Mother, let alone provide her with dietary supplements!"
Compared to the joy of the others, Chu Tianyou just pursed his lips speechlessly and muttered under his breath, "When he called Xiao Yu 'brother-in-law' before, he wasn't so stingy with his money!"
The poor are scholars, the rich are warriors; if one wants to quickly increase their cultivation level, consuming various tonics is the fastest way.
After being expelled from the martial arts academy, Chu Tianyou was severely punished by Xiao Yu. He already knew that his talent was very weak and only hoped to break through by supplementing his diet!
However, when Bai Can heard this, the smile that had just appeared on his face turned extremely ugly again!
