Chapter 42 An Unusual Obsession with One Thousand Taels (First Update, Please Add to Favorites)



What is Bai Nuo's life motto? To be a rich, womanizing woman with big, wavy hair who flirts with young, handsome men!

What are Bai Nuo's hobbies in life? Making money, counting money, and smelling money!

So when the ten taels of silver slammed onto the table, Bai Nuo was stunned. The sound was so pleasant. Although it was only ten taels of silver, it was still money. Especially since she only had ten taels of silver on hand, the ten taels of silver that Bai Dalin threw out was a huge sum of money.

The question is whether she wants it or not.

No way! We're short of money right now, but these ten taels of silver can be a lifesaver. If something happens that requires money, these ten taels of silver can be of help.

But should he? The way Bai Dalin threw the money out was like he was giving alms to a beggar. No, no, it wasn't just like that, Bai Dalin was giving alms to a beggar. He used to never give these people a single penny, but now Bai Dalin had a thousand taels of silver, making him arguably the richest man in the village. He didn't care about ten taels of silver anymore, so he gave Bai Nuo ten taels of silver to amuse himself by looking at Bai Nuo's greedy expression.

Taking it is a matter of dignity; not taking it is a matter of survival!

"What's wrong?" Bai Dalin laughed even harder when he saw Bai Nuo standing there dumbfounded. He teased Bai Nuo, "You think your father's money is too little? Hey, Bai Nuo, have you ever seen so much silver before?"

Of course I've seen it! She has ten taels of silver on her right now, okay? If she wants to hear the sound of ten taels of silver, she can just throw it around and make a clanging sound, okay?

"Yes!" After much deliberation, Bai Nuo still chose to take the ten taels of silver. She quickly reached out and grabbed the ten taels in her hand, looking somewhat bewildered, and said woodenly, "Thank you, Father."

Survival and dignity are always more important than survival. Besides, she still had ten taels of silver worth of fabric that she couldn't sell. With those ten taels of silver, she could openly take out the fabric. If the couple asked, she would say that Bai Dalin gave it to her and that she used it to buy fabric because she wanted to wear new clothes.

Everything can be explained now.

"Hahaha, you really are just like your mother, equally worthless." Bai Dalin laughed incessantly when he saw Bai Nuo like this. He originally wanted to call Bai Nuo a bastard, but then he thought that this idiot was his own child. If he called her a bastard, wouldn't that mean he was also a bastard?

"Dad, my mom isn't presentable, does that mean Dad isn't presentable either?" Bai Nuo asked blankly. "I heard Aunt Yanfen say that people of the same kind eat the same kind of food. Is it because Dad isn't presentable that you two are together?"

Bai Dalin choked, completely unexpected by Bai Nuo's words. Just as he was about to fly into a rage, Chen Qiuling nudged his arm and said, "Let's eat!"

Bai Nuo sometimes looks silly, but sometimes she's not silly at all. Don't be fooled by her silly appearance now; just listen to what she says. Da Lin only cursed her mother once, but she cursed both Da Lin and herself in the process.

What did she do? She's innocent, okay?

She was so happy today that she didn't want to argue with Bai Nuo. Now she had money, but what about Bai Nuo? Ha, he and his younger brother were still struggling to make a living under her.

Why bother with all that arguing? You'll only make yourself angry.

Bai Dalin didn't know what Chen Qiuling was thinking, but seeing Chen Qiuling bring him food, he also started eating in silence.

Dinner passed in an eerie atmosphere, but apart from Bai Nuo who was in a good mood, the others were probably not.

"By the way, Dalin!" After finishing her meal, Bai Nuo was called away by her grandmother to clear the table. Chen Qiuling and Bai Dalin sat at the table, and Chen Qiuling said, "Let's find a better doctor for Zhi'er. Zhi'er was injured so badly in such a short time. If we don't find a good doctor, I'm afraid he won't recover."

"Okay, you handle it!" Bai Dalin nodded readily. Hiring a doctor wouldn't cost much. He was a rich man now, so he didn't care about that little bit of money!

"Let's find one for Ayu too?" the old woman said hurriedly from the side. Poor Ayu had been beaten until his skin was torn and bleeding, and he was only able to survive on Bai Nuo's little bit of herbal medicine.

"Alright, let's watch it together!" Bai Dalin waved his hand, and the nouveau riche's arrogance instantly erupted on his face.

Early the next morning, Chen Qiuling found a doctor. Those who needed to see a doctor went to see a doctor, and those who needed to take care of other things went about their business. While Chen Qiuling was at this time, Bai Nuo stood guard at Chen Zhi's door. After watching the doctor finish examining Chen Zhi, she immediately dragged the doctor into A Yu's room. Only after watching the doctor prescribe medicine for A Yu did she go to town.

Going to buy supplies, hey.

Bai Nuo bought glutinous rice flour, white sugar, a large jar of oil, as well as red beans and sesame seeds. He carried a sack full of these things, slung it over his shoulder, and walked slowly.

It was already midday when she returned. The sun was blazing and the temperature was scorching. Bai Nuo's face was covered in fine beads of sweat from the heat. To get home as quickly as possible, she took a shortcut. She was now in a grove of trees, where she could hear no one talking except for birdsong. The sun shone through the leaves, its rays burning her skin. Occasionally, a sultry breeze would blow by, making Bai Nuo feel even hotter.

These days, it's really inconvenient not having a car; you have to rely on your own two legs for everything. But some places are incredibly far away, and you might not even be able to get there even if you walk until your legs break.

"Help...help!" As she walked, Bai Nuo suddenly heard a faint cry for help. There was something lying in front of her. When Bai Nuo got closer, she realized that it was a person, and the cry for help was coming from this person.
