Chapter 75: Change of Taste
The man was wearing a mask and black clothes, looking a bit like the people from last night. He looked around and stayed at the place where the corpses were buried for a while before turning around and leaving.
None of the people he sent out survived, so he had to report this to his master as soon as possible. The masked man suspected that someone was secretly helping the Yue family, and he had to find out who that person was as soon as possible.
Yue Fuli and his group walked for two hours, until everyone was tired and could not walk anymore, and Hu Wei stopped again.
This time, the place where they rested was not far from a town and was relatively convenient.
After learning that the town was nearby, Yue Fuli, who had been eating steamed bread for two days, said directly to Hu Wei, "Hu, I've been eating steamed bread for several days in a row. I want to change the taste. Is that okay?"
"Sure, why not? As long as you have money, you can eat whatever you want." Hu Wei looked at Yue Fuli with a smile on his face.
He knew that he and his brothers were about to make some money.
It didn't matter whether the money was much or little, as long as it was there, it would be fine. With the money, they could change their taste.
"Money is not a problem, but I'll have to trouble Hutou to find a police officer to help run some errands."
"No problem. What do you want to eat?" Hu Wei didn't think it was a hassle at all. How could it be a hassle if he could get paid for running errands?
"Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and meat buns."
"Soy milk may not be convenient as there's nothing to put it in. But fried dough sticks and meat buns are fine. Just tell me more and I'll ask someone to buy as much as you want." Hu Wei is very easy to talk to. If they buy more, they can also benefit from it.
"I have something to pack." Yue Fuli smiled, ran back to the donkey cart, and then pretended to take something out from the luggage, but in fact, he took out a large empty water bag from the space in his mouth.
Seeing the big water bag, Hu Wei was delighted and said, "Okay, with this soy milk, there will be no problem."
"Here, this is the silver. Please ask someone to buy some more, Mr. Hu." Yue Fuli handed the silver and the water bag to Hu Wei and said, "If you have any sesame cakes or something, buy some for lunch."
"No problem." Hu Wei nodded. He didn't want to eat steamed bread anymore. Then he pointed at the team and named three people.
"Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, the three of you go to town and buy what Miss Yue wants."
"Okay!" The three of them ran to Hu Wei, took the water bag and silver, and happily went to the nearby town.
The second wife watched Yue Fuli send someone to buy things again, and she was so jealous that she couldn't help but mutter, "Where did Yue Fuli get so much money?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingxue glanced at Wu who was speaking and said, "Mother, have you forgotten that when we left the city, someone sent a gift to my eldest sister."
"You mean the Song family?" Wu curled her lips and said, "Mrs. Guo isn't a generous person. How much silver could she give Yue Fuli? I think she most likely hid the silver before."
Yue Lingxue was a little unhappy after hearing this, and she directly confronted her mother, "Even if it wasn't given by the Song family, there must have been someone else who gave it to her. Didn't Steward Lin talk to my eldest sister for a while at Shili Pavilion? Maybe it was Steward Lin who gave it to her?"
"If it was given by Steward Lin, then it's public money. It belongs to everyone. If the eldest wife can spend it, we can spend it too."
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let's go and ask Yue Fuli for money."
Jiang and Hu were somewhat tempted. They also wanted to eat something delicious, but unfortunately they had no money.
