Chapter 60 was really found.
He did intend to use this matter to manipulate the Han family; since he was in the right, what was wrong with that?
But he wasn't deliberately preventing the Han family from coming, as people speculated.
After he explained, people quieted down.
Xu Daxian found it strange that these people seemed to genuinely believe this little girl could tell fortunes.
It's unbelievable that they didn't even consider this possibility.
People quieted down, and some bought noodles with fish-shaped fillings, as if Xu Daxian and his son didn't exist.
Qin Tianhai focused intently on writing, seemingly unaffected.
Qin Jin'an happily helped the Qin family weigh the food, occasionally adding an extra bite to the plate, which made the guests smile.
When Mrs. Han arrived with her elderly relative and youngest son, she saw her husband already standing in front of the stall and felt somewhat uncomfortable: "Didn't I tell you to wait for us?"
Why not wait? Is it because you don't trust her?
Xu Daxian looked at Han Shi with some guilt, and without daring to reply, he lowered his head.
"Sister, did your husband just come to the fortune teller to get a refund?"
Someone offered a reminder.
Xu Daxian looked at Han Shi with a nervous expression.
Madam Han was a little disappointed, but considering the importance of the matter, she didn't say anything. She led the old man to Qin Jin'an and said, "Little immortal, this is my father-in-law. He put the things there. Please check where they are."
Xu Daxian was annoyed that she still wanted to calculate, so he watched her warily, waiting for the right moment to turn the tables!
They searched the whole house but couldn't find it, so he refused to believe that fortune telling could find it.
The old man smiled foolishly, and when he saw the dough fish in the Qin family's large basket, he reached out to grab it.
Han stopped her in time, saying, "Father, this belongs to someone else. Be good, I'll buy you one later."
Han took out a piece of candy and put it in the old man's hand.
The old man put it in his mouth and quickly calmed down.
Qin Jin'an looked at the old man and soon saw some images.
She looked at Madam Han and said, "Auntie, come here, I'll tell you."
Han smiled and stepped closer to Qin Jin'an.
Qin Jin'an whispered a location, and Madam Han was shocked: "Really?"
Qin Jin'an nodded.
Xu Daxian looked at all of this with sarcasm, increasingly convinced that it was all a scam.
Han glanced at Xu Daxian and said, "Let's go, we can go home now."
Xu Daxian didn't know what Qin Jin'an had said to Han Shi, but he suppressed his anger and said, "You said you could go back after she told you something? She hasn't even refunded the money yet! Are you bewitched? She's still a child, and you believe everything she says?"
"I must be crazy to have followed you here today."
Xu Daxian was filled with anger but had nowhere to vent it. The discomfort of being stared at made him even more irritable.
Han was also holding back. She took a deep breath and said, "Can we go back first? If we can't find it, we'll come back first thing tomorrow morning to get a refund!"
"What if she tries to fool you again, and you believe her, then you won't get your money back!"
Xu Daxian stared at Qin Jin'an with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.
That's over six hundred coins! He's already been patient enough, but his wife has clearly been fooled. He has to do something.
Xu Daxian's gaze was too hostile, and both Qin Shi and Qin Tianhai looked at him warily.
Qin Jin'an looked at Xu Daxian and suddenly said, "Uncle, you're asking for the money back because you don't believe me, right?"
"How about this, I'll return the money to you first. If you find the money when you get home, come to me tomorrow and give me six taels and sixty cents. Otherwise, you'll have bad luck for a year, okay?"
After Qin Jin'an finished speaking, he said to Qin Shi, "Mother, get the money."
Qin counted out the money deftly.
Qin Jin'an handed the money to Xu Daxian, saying, "Here, if you take the money, it means you agree."
"Can you trust me this once? I'm begging you."
Han grabbed Xu Daxian's hand. Why pay a higher price when 660 coins could solve the problem?
Xu Daxian couldn't bear to meet Han's disappointed gaze, but he firmly believed he was right, so he took the money from Qin Jin'an's hand: "Only liars are unlucky."
"Little fairy, we're sorry, we'll definitely come tomorrow."
Han looked at Qin Jin'an with a heavy heart and a sense of guilt.
Qin Jin'an waved his hand to indicate that it was alright.
"Dad, let's go home."
Xu Daxian helped the old man up and left.
His two sons followed, and Han also went back, but from the occasional wiping of tears she made, it was clear that she was very sad.
This little incident had no impact on Qin Jin'an's family.
People quickly came to buy the noodle fish.
There were significantly more than before, but they were still sold out by noon.
The family packed up and then went home together.
...
Xu Daxian wanted to say a few words on the way, but seeing that Han was walking quickly and ignoring him, he also remained silent.
The two sons sensed the awkward atmosphere between their parents, but there was nothing they could do.
Han was the first to return home, and as Qin Jin'an had instructed, she took the fire tongs and started rummaging around on the stove.
Xu Daxian entered the house and saw it, and immediately said, "It can't be inside, our stove is solid."
Han ignored her and patiently tapped and knocked. When she hit a hollow spot, she reached in and scooped it out.
She quickly removed a dark stone brick, and her sleeves were covered in soot from the bottom of a pot.
She reached in again to rummage.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"
The old man suddenly became angry, grabbed a stick, and went to hit Han. He looked nervous, as if he was worried that someone would take away some treasure.
Xu Daxian quickly pulled him back.
The old man shouted anxiously, "Son, Xiaofen, come quick! There's a thief!"
"Father, look carefully, this isn't a thief, this is your daughter-in-law!"
Xu Daxian felt somewhat helpless, his heart pounding. His long-confused father was suddenly acting like this; could it be that the silver was really hidden inside?
Han took out an iron box, which was about the size of a brick and was locked.
With a sob in her voice, Han said, "Look, look, you saw it!"
They already had the key, which was hanging around Xu Daxian's neck.
Xu Daxian was dumbfounded.
The old man only had a brief episode of illness before calming down.
"Dad, hurry up and get the key to open it and take a look."
The Xu brothers urged Xu Daxian to hurry up.
Xu Daxian guiltily removed the rope from his neck. He squatted down and opened the iron box, which contained gleaming silver nuggets and a small amount of gold. This was all the wealth of the Xu family.
"Waaaaah..."
Han suddenly burst into tears and started hitting Xu Daxian with her fists.
"Are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied now? You thought 660 coins was too much, but now you want to give the little immortal 6.6 taels."
Madam Han felt heartbroken. She was saddened by her husband's distrust and by the money she was about to give away. If only she could save it.
Six ounces and six ounces—that's more than the family could earn in a year from farming and selling grain. Han was heartbroken.
Xu Daxian lowered his head guiltily, thinking about how much money it was. He said in a low voice, "She doesn't know where we live. We can just stop buying fish from her place in the future. Now the money is back, and we've found it..."
