Chapter 64 Payment
Li Jiaojiao felt both contempt and regret.
If I had known I shouldn't have agreed so quickly, I should have offered fifty taels. Maybe Ye would have been willing to sell it.
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If I change my mind, Ye’s stubborn personality will definitely not allow me to agree.
Now she just wants to get the jade as soon as possible!
"Aunt, have you guys discussed it? Hurry up!"
"Okay." Ye Caiping immediately took off the jade pendant from her neck.
The moment it fell into her palm, the jade token was quickly retracted into space, and a fake one appeared in her hand at the same time.
Although the space has recognized its owner and the jade token has become an empty shell, it is impossible to give it to Li Jiaojiao.
When she learned that Li Jiaojiao had set her sights on her jade token, she was prepared.
The last time she went to Chengfu, after she sold the bottles, she found an old jade craftsman and asked him to polish and carve the jade plaque.
The quality of the jade for the jade pendant is very poor. It is not easy to find a similar one. You can get a lot of them for fifty cents.
The expensive ones were imitations and antique ones, which cost her five taels of silver.
Until now, Ye Caiping still remembers the way the old jade craftsman looked at her, as if she were a fool.
Originally, she hadn't thought of using the imitation jade pit Li Jiaojiao had.
He just wanted to smash the imitation jade to pieces when Li Jiaojiao came to ask for the jade, so as to put Li Jiaojiao off from thinking about it.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhiyuan actually took the initiative to provoke them!
And Li Jiaojiao...
If nothing unexpected happened, it was Li Jiaojiao who caused the ox cart to overturn.
A cold look flashed across Ye Caiping's eyes. It was not just Li Jiaojiao who was vindictive!
So is Ye Caiping!
Ye Caiping picked up the imitation jade and said, "Li Jiaojiao, I have to make it clear to you before the transaction. We all know how much this jade is worth. It is not valuable for itself, but for the feelings we have for it."
"You can't buy it home and then feel you've lost out and come back to complain. Fellow villagers, please be my witnesses."
As he spoke, he raised the jade in his hand.
Li Jiaojiao was almost dying of anxiety, her hands clenched tightly: "Don't worry, I, Li Jiaojiao, keep my word."
"Okay, take it." He said, and walked over.
Ye Caiping took the banknote, and Li Jiaojiao immediately snatched the jade away with an excited look on her face.
She was also cautious, and handed the jade to Li Zhiyuan: "Dad, take a look, is this the one?"
Li Zhiyuan was almost suffocated by himself. He glanced at him and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Putting aside his current condition, even if he was fine, he only remembered that the jade token was white, slightly yellowed, and had the word "Endless" engraved on it. How could he remember anything else?
Li Jiaojiao also felt that it couldn't be fake.
She was the one who suddenly proposed to buy the jade. Before that, Ye had been wearing it on her body, and no one knew the real purpose of her trip. Even if I really wanted to fake it, it's too late.
Ye Caiping put the money away and said, "The money and goods have been paid, why don't you leave quickly?"
Li Jiaojiao quickly put the jade pendant around her neck, supported Li Zhiyuan, and left amid boos.
After the three members of the Li family left, the villagers immediately covered their noses and dispersed.
If it weren't for the show, who would want to smell this shit?
…
It took Ye Caiping's family a full hour to clean the door.
Then, I spent another half an hour taking a shower and changing clothes.
The men were more convenient and went straight to the river to wash, and have not returned yet.
In the main hall, Old Lady Ye sighed: "Although it was sold for 200 taels, it was a peace jade... Alas..."
Ye Caiping would not tell her that it was fake, she just needed to know it herself: "I'm fine, mother is really worried, why don't you find a temple or Taoist temple and ask for another one for me."
"Yes, why didn't I think of that! I can ask for another one!" Old Lady Ye's eyes lit up, "It would be a waste if I don't make money from those two hundred taels."
Ye Caiping looked at Mrs. Du and said, "Now I have the money. I will go to the bank tomorrow and exchange it for silver and return it to my sister-in-law immediately."
She had been rich for a long time. She made 100 taels from selling bottles a few days ago.
But the money she earned from her business was less than thirty taels, so it was not easy to take it out.
"Really?" Mrs. Du's face was full of excitement. Soon, she would have thirty taels! "Then I have to propose marriage to Yonger quickly!"
At this time, Old Man Ye and the other men, including Daquan and Erquan, came back from the river, wearing their tattered coats and saying:
"The river is freezing cold."
Ye Caiping looked at their tattered clothes and said, "The weather is getting colder, it's time to buy some cloth and make some clothes. I had this idea a few days ago, but I was so busy that I forgot."
Ye Daquan said: "No need, the clothes are still warm."
"Of course we don't need them. I see they're all leaking." Ye Caiping laughed. "I'll go to town tomorrow and make two sets of clothes for everyone."
Sisters Jinhua, Yinhua and Jin'er's eyes all lit up. There is no woman who doesn't love clothes.
Wei said expectantly and timidly, "Are you sending it to us, little sister?"
"Yes," Ye Caiping smiled, "My parents and my elder and second brothers used to buy me cloth every year. Now I also buy clothes for you, my parents and my brother and sister-in-law."
Ye Daquan was originally reluctant to let Ye Caiping spend money and wanted to refuse, but he swallowed the words back. For some reason, he suddenly felt that he was spoiled by his little sister!
Old Mrs. Ye and her husband were also very touched, and felt a little sorry for the money, but when they thought that Caiping had just earned two hundred taels, they didn't feel so sorry anymore.
"Let's go to town to buy clothes together tomorrow." Ye Caiping said.
Old Man Ye smiled and said, "You women can go, we men won't go."
"good."
Ye Jin'er looked worried: "We are going to set up a stall tomorrow..."
Ye Caiping said, "Let's not put it up for now. Let's take a rest for three days."
Old Lady Ye said, "The county town can rest, but the business in the town cannot stop. Tomorrow you can take your two sisters-in-law and the girl with you, and I will make the soup. Jin'er can't go, so stay at home and take good care of your injuries."
Be it seasoning or controlling the heat, Grandma Ye can now perfectly replicate Ye Caiping's cooking skills.
"Then I'll trouble you, mother."
Ye Jin'er pursed her lips with regret, "Alas, it shouldn't have been hurt earlier or later, but it had to hurt now."
The Ye family was in a happy mood, but the Li family was in chaos.
…
After Li Zhiyuan and his three companions escaped from Qinghe Village, they wanted to get on the car and go home.
The man driving the ox cart covered his nose and refused to let him get on the cart, asking him to wash the shit off his body first.
Li Zhiyuan had been proud for half his life and had never suffered such humiliation, but the feces on his body were indeed very stinking.
Li Zhiyuan had no choice but to jump into the river to wash his dirty clothes.
Soaking in the cold river water, Li Zhiyuan's eyes were full of resentment.
It was not until this moment that he really saw clearly that Ye had actually let him go!
Li Zhiyuan felt humiliated!
He should abandon her and divorce her! And she still has to think about him and look forward to returning to him every day, which is a problem!
That bitch, what right did she have...
snort! Bitch! A vulgar peasant woman who cannot recognize gold and jade!
When Li Zhiyuan passes the imperial examination, becomes a juren, and then a jinshi, and is granted a title of nobility and appointed as a prime minister, she will regret it!
He will return the humiliation she suffered today a thousand times over!
