Chapter 25: Plundering the Bai Family's Silver



The night was very quiet and the children were all very excited. Some of them were still sleeping on the floor. Although it was called a floor, it was actually just a layer of straw.

Tang Youyou got up and lied to go to the toilet. She came to the yard and put her hand on the rush.

[600 jin of rush, 9000 wen, would you like to sell it?]

【yes! 】

[500 jin of Houttuynia cordata, 5000 wen, are you selling it?]

[1000 jin of plantain, 3000 wen, are you selling it?]

Looking at the silver ingot in his hand, Tang Youyou took a bite like the ancients.

I was so excited: Oh my God, I made a fortune. I made twenty taels of silver with a cost of six hundred coins, which is a thirty-fold profit.

I opened the panel, bought a set of night clothes, and spent a huge amount of money on a pair of lightweight running shoes.

That's right, she's going to cause trouble!

It was already dark and everyone was asleep, so I ran along the road I remembered.

He tiptoed into the Bai family's courtyard, saw a light in a room, and quietly hid under the window.

"Old man, why is Tang so evil? Could she really be possessed by a demon?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? She used to be infatuated with Dalang, but now that the engagement is broken off, it's natural that she won't be happy with us!"

Mrs. Wang complained, "Why did you break off the engagement? Otherwise, I could have eaten the pork. I heard she bought a lot of things. Two wild boars are worth a lot of silver!"

Tang Youyou pursed her lips. Damn, he was so shameless. His tone sounded as if she had hunted the wild boar.

The old man glared at Mrs. Wang and said, "Don't mess with her, you short-sighted thing. The clan leader warned me this afternoon."

Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously: "Tsk! What a fool of the clan leader! Why would he side with an outsider?"

The old man's eyes were deep as he whispered to Mrs. Wang: "Dalang is still alive, and he keeps kissing her. Is he going to be a burden to their family?"

Mrs. Wang screamed, "Da Lang is not dead?"

"Why are you being so loud?"

Tang Youyou felt a tingling sensation on her back. No wonder Old Man Tang wanted to arrange a ghost marriage for her and sell out their entire family. In the end, he had no choice but to break off the relationship with them.

Divorce? Divorce? She felt horrified. Could it be that Bai Hansong was a Chen Shimei?

Searching my memory, I only found a smiling face. I shook my head and thought that the filter was too heavy.

I felt a little relieved. It seemed that divorcing was a good thing at the moment.

Just as I was wondering how I could get in without being noticed, I heard the sound of the door opening. I turned around and could vaguely see a hunched man.

It turned out to be the old man. She put on the green-faced and fang-toothed mask that she had prepared long ago and laughed twice imitating a man's voice.

"Hahahaha...Bai Boren, do you admit your guilt?"

The old man paused, turned around and saw a fang, and fainted.

Oil lamps were lit in several rooms. Tang Youyou sneered, picked up a stick, and stood guard at the door of the main hall, ready to hit anyone who came out with a stick.

"Ah!" After repeating this several times, no one dared to come out and they all stood guard behind the main room door.

Tang Youyou rummaged through the old man's body, found some silver and banknotes, lit a lighter, and left.

That's right, she came here tonight to extort money. Her original body was beaten to death, so it's not too much to take some interest? As for killing people, she didn't have the courage to do that.

"Ah! Fire, fire!"

She didn't expect that she would set the firewood pile on fire by just throwing it away.

It only took a quarter of an hour in total.

I went to the bathroom first, but just as I entered, I heard Tang's mother calling: "Youyou... Youyou?"

"Bang!"

"You have diarrhea again, kid?"

"Mom, I'll be fine soon, go to sleep first!"

I quickly changed into my nightgown, but I had nowhere to put it. Could I just throw it in the toilet? That would be too wasteful.

[Ding! Do you need space? One cubic meter, one hundred taels of silver!]

Tang Youyou was a little surprised. One hundred taels? Where did one hundred taels come from?

He opened the tinder box and poured all the silver he had just looted onto the ground. He picked up the banknote and saw the denomination on it, and his mouth curved with a smile.

After hesitating for a few moments, he made a decisive decision. He would need the space sooner or later, so the sooner the better, the sooner he could use it and enjoy it.

"space!"

The one hundred taels disappeared, and she could see a large box of one cubic meter.

He put all the silver, clothes, and masks in it at once.

"That's great! From now on, when I deposit things, I don't have to pay the 10% deposit and withdrawal fee."

I walked into the house feeling happy.

"Child, you should eat light food these two days!" Tang's mother muttered softly.

"Mom, tomorrow I'll ask someone to build two houses!"

Listening to the boys' snoring and grinding of teeth, she felt a little amused and helpless.

Tang's mother nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Go to sleep quickly!"

In another room, a young couple was whispering to each other.

"Da Lang, I always feel that this day is too unreal!"

Bai Ruoyi hugged Huahua and grinned: "Listen to mother, things will get better. I ate too much today!"

Lin Huahua also laughed out loud: "Me too, I'm so scared of going back to the old days."

"No, Huahua, can we consummate our marriage now?"

Lin Huahua was a little shy: "Let's wait a few more days. Things are just starting to get better. What if I get pregnant?"

"Now that mother has changed, life at home is better, you don't have to worry. If she gets pregnant, mother will definitely be very happy..."

A dreamless night...

The next day, Bai Ruoyi got up early, wearing new clothes, and took her old clothes, preparing to cook first and then wash clothes.

Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you really feel sorry for your wife."

Bai Ruoyi's face turned red, and he ran away with the bucket on his shoulder.

"This child..."

She went to the kitchen and bought a bag of yeast flour to prepare steamed buns. After mixing the yeast with flour, she was a little at a loss.

"What should I do? I don't even know how to knead dough!"

If I had known earlier, I would have spent money to buy it in the mall. I was shocked by my own thoughts. It really is the mentality of a nouveau riche. Just two days ago, I was still worried about food.

This steamed bun costs one cent each. If you steam it yourself, you can probably make five. Of course, it is more cost-effective to steam it yourself.

Unable to start, she had to cook the porridge, which she knew how to do.

Looking at the pot on the stove, he sighed. He needed to build a stove to make it more convenient.

As soon as Lin Huahua came in, she saw her mother-in-law sighing.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Huahua, I hurt my head and forgot how to cook."

Lin Huahua breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, Mom, you go and rest, I'll do it!"

"Okay, okay, I've already cooked the porridge. Let's eat steamed buns today." He said happily and left the kitchen.

Lin Huahua grinned and murmured to herself, "Luckily, my mother-in-law injured her head and has changed. Now I have hope for the future."

But then she was dumbfounded. Why not light a fire to cook porridge?
