Chapter 30: Why are you pretending to be a big shot if you don’t have money?
Gu Xiaoxi ignored them and asked Mrs. Tan where to buy oil paper. Mrs. Tan asked them to wait for a while, as the students would return to the academy after an incense stick of time, so she took Gu Xiaoxi for a walk.
Seeing Mrs. Tan's kindness, Gu Xiaoxi did not refuse. It was still early anyway, so the two of them stayed to help them.
After finishing this work, Mrs. Tan took the two of them to the next street, where there were grocery stores, pharmacies and rice shops.
Gu Xiaoxi discovered that Mrs. Tan was familiar with many people in the shops. After asking around, she found out that the couple lived in an alley on this street.
The couple has moved to the city for two years and has been making a living from this stall. However, their craftsmanship is too ordinary, so it can only support them.
Along the way, Gu Xiaoxi and his sister discovered that Mrs. Tan was a kind-hearted person. She not only took them to buy the oil paper they needed, but also told them about the general situation in the city.
Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Tan sent them out of the city. After they got on the ox cart, she turned around and went back to her stall.
"Xiaoxi, Mrs. Tan..." Gu Nanming had a lot of questions he wanted to ask his sister, but he was interrupted before he could finish.
"Third brother, take a break. We still have to go back to the mountains to work!" Gu Xiaoxi knew what the third brother was going to ask, but many people got on the ox cart one after another, and some things could not be said.
Gu Nanming understood what his sister meant, shut up and took a nap on the ox cart.
When the oxcart finally stopped outside the village and he got off, he started asking a bunch of questions: "Sister, why is Mrs. Tan so kind to us that she even returned the money she spent on porridge this morning?
Also, there are so many leaves on the mountain, it would be a waste to buy oil paper, why would you do this?"
Gu Xiaoxi replied to the third brother: "Third brother, Mrs. Tan is a businessman. She treats us well because we bring them business while doing business.
As for why I insist on buying oil paper, it’s because city people like cleanliness. When business is good today, haven’t you seen the boss of the shop opposite, his eyes are almost popping out.
We will continue to do business there in the future, and there will definitely be a lot of people finding fault with us, so we can't save this little money."
After listening to his sister's words, Gu Nanming thought about it carefully and felt that they were all correct.
"It's still early, you go back first, I'll go up the mountain." Gu Xiaoxi wanted to go up the mountain to take a look, maybe there were other chestnut trees.
Now that we have found a place to do business today, we can’t run out of supplies so quickly.
But she likes to eat chestnuts and can tell which kind of chestnuts are sweet and sticky enough. If she can't find any, she can go to the nearby village to collect them.
"I'll go with you!" said Gu Nanming.
"No, I have a foundation in martial arts and I'm fast enough, you can't catch up with me. Give me this backpack, and take the things inside back." After saying that, Gu Xiaoxi took the backpack off the third brother.
Ever since Gu Nanming learned about the leg skills his sister had learned, he was not so worried about going up the mountain.
He took the things and went home first to tell his parents the good news that the chestnuts were sold out.
Gu Xiaoxi went around to the back of the villagers' house and followed the path next to it to the foot of the mountain.
She climbed halfway up the mountain in one breath and found several other chestnut trees in the forest where she had found the chestnut tree before.
It seems that no one has ever come to this place. The wind blew down a lot of thorn balls, and I could pick up several boxes of them directly.
That’s right!
Did she remember that the spaces she had used to read novels could be kept fresh?
And there is also spiritual spring water?
At present, I have not discovered any spiritual spring water, and I have never tried its preservation function.
She turned around and went back to the space to check the thorn balls she picked up from outside yesterday. She found that the color of the thorn balls had not changed. Some of them were emerald green, and they were still emerald green.
However, the two wolves thrown in the yard did not change at all, and it seemed that they also had the function of preserving freshness.
Ouch!
I almost forgot about the big money man in the house.
She walked into the house to see the unconscious Ye Lixuan, and she had to get this guy to give her the money as soon as possible.
With this plan in mind, when she went out again, she looked around and found a cave.
There was a lawn outside the cave. Taking advantage of the good weather, she got Ye Lixuan out of the space.
"Hey, wake up, wake up..." She patted Ye Lixuan's face.
Ye Lixuan opened his eyes in a daze and found himself lying outside a cave, with the woman who saved him sitting in front of him.
"Sir, I have saved your life. Can I pay you the medical fee?" Gu Xiaoxi said straight to the point.
Ye Lixuan touched his body and found that the silver bag on his body had fallen off at some point. Now the only valuable thing on him was the jade pendant that represented his identity.
However, if I give her the jade pendant, it will be troublesome if I can't find it.
"I have no money. Why are you acting so high and mighty if I don't have any money?" Gu Xiaoxi said, and then she reached out and pulled off the jade pendant from his waist angrily.
When she was treating this guy's injuries before, she had taken a fancy to this jade pendant. Holding the jade pendant in her hand, she smiled and said, "Since you don't have money, use this to pay off your debt!"
"No, no, this is given to me by my mother!" Ye Lixuan reached out to grab it, but it was in vain.
"Okay, when you get better, you can redeem the jade pendant. I used a lot of good medicine on you. One hundred taels is just the consultation fee, and the medicine fee is another one hundred taels.
Give me two hundred taels of ransom, or I won't give it to you." Gu Xiaoxi raised the price directly.
However, Ye Lixuan was not angry. First, people saved him twice, and second, he knew that his life was on the line both times. Without the hundred-year-old ginseng, his life would definitely be over.
Those are expensive things, and asking for two hundred taels is already very generous.
"If you don't say anything, it means you agree." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi put the jade pendant on her body and went to get the chestnuts.
Ye Lixuan really wanted to sit up and see what was going on around him.
However, he now had no strength at all, and he thought it was probably because he was seriously injured.
In fact, this was because Gu Xiaoxi had put cartilage powder on this guy to prevent him from running around after coming out and wasting her time.
Although Ye Lixuan couldn't stand up, he could see what Gu Xiaoxi was doing?
Crash...
The thorn balls on the tree kept falling to the ground, and in less than a moment, the tree full of fruits became bald.
"This woman is so strong!" he muttered with emotion.
However, imagine that a woman who is not even strong enough to tie a chicken would not be able to carry a man who is over 1.8 meters tall.
Others traveled through time and space to become a prince, a marquis, or a young master who lived a comfortable life, but he traveled through time and space to become a debt collector, being hunted every day, and no one knew when it would end.
Why……
He sighed dejectedly and closed his eyes.
After Gu Xiaoxi finished shaking the chestnut tree, she planned to store the chestnuts in the space. She jumped down from the tree, walked over, activated Ye Lixuan's sleeping acupoint, and put him into the space before starting to act.
When it was almost dark, Gu Xiaoxi went down the mountain.
We are in a hurry today, so we have to go up the mountain tomorrow and pull out all the remaining trees.
As night fell, the Gu family was immersed in the joy of good business today when there was a knock on the yard door.
Xue opened the door and saw that it was Mo's eldest sister-in-law. She hurriedly tried to close the door, but the other party pushed the door open with force.
