Chapter 153 Exchanging Money, Being Targeted by Thieves
The two men were preconceived notions about Lin Luoxi's status, thinking that giving her the position of concubine would be an honor, let alone the position of wife.
I never imagined that Lin Luoxi would have no feelings for these men at all.
They could even be designated as dangerous individuals, and avoided from meeting them in the future as much as possible.
If Lin Luoxi knew that these two men were plotting against her, she would definitely show them what she was capable of.
Even if we can't do it openly, we can secretly poison them, and I guarantee the doctors here might not be able to cure it.
On the way, Lin Wenqian finally snapped out of his shock at the stack of silver notes that Meng Huai'an had handed him.
"Second sister, a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. Isn't it wrong for you to accept so much silver from them?"
Lin Wenqian believes that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and that saving lives is a good deed that cannot be measured in money.
"I think Sister Luo Xi did the right thing. Although saving a life is said to be more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, people like Young Master Meng can only feel at ease if they take their money."
“I think people of their high status certainly don’t want to get involved with ordinary people like us, but they’re also afraid of being criticized for being ungrateful. So, it was right for Sister Luo Xi to take the money; using money to repay a debt of gratitude, and everything is even…”
Xie Hanchuan thought Lin Luoxi's behavior was right. Only by cutting ties with those people could she avoid trouble.
However, Xie Hanchun had his own reasons for saying this, as he didn't want Lin Luoxi to have too much interaction with someone like Young Master Meng.
He was afraid that if Lin Luoxi spent too much time with Young Master Meng, they would develop feelings for each other, and then he wouldn't even have a chance to compete with him.
"Yes, Brother Hanchuan is right. I think repaying a debt of gratitude with money is the most appropriate thing to do."
"Besides, who said his life isn't worth this much money? You should know that before I saved him, he was on the verge of death, barely clinging to life. Then there were assassins chasing him. If it weren't for me, he probably wouldn't even have a complete corpse."
“If my medical skills were so great, he would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago. How could he be standing here alive and kicking in front of you?”
“I not only saved him, but also his subordinates. It’s not unreasonable for me to take this little bit of money from him.”
Lin Luoxi didn't tell Lin Wenqian that she had mixed a lot of spiritual dew into Meng Huai'an's medicine.
If she hadn't used the Spirit Dew Water, Meng Huai'an would definitely still be lying there, and whether he could have survived is another matter entirely.
Thinking of the thickness of that stack of silver notes, Lin Luoxi did not go home immediately. Instead, she took Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan and went to the county town again, taking a detour.
We've hired so many helpers to clear land and plant crops, and we've promised them daily wages. But we don't have enough copper coins. We should hurry up and exchange some silver notes for copper coins.
When Lin Luoxi, Lin Wenqian, and Xie Hanchuan returned to the city, they found that the clothes worn by the girls on the streets of the county town looked somewhat familiar.
Watching them strolling down the street with smiles on their faces, Lin Luoxi suddenly remembered that the style of clothing those girls were wearing was exactly the same as the sketch paper she had drawn for Fang Zhixia some time ago.
I never expected the girls in this county to be so receptive and brave enough to wear them out. It's clear that the clothing designs based on those two blueprints have been a huge hit.
Thinking about how thriving the fabric shop must be now, I couldn't help but feel happy for Fang Zhixia.
Lin Luoxi, Lin Wenqian, and Xie Hanchuan first went to the money exchange and exchanged one hundred taels of copper coins.
One hundred taels of silver yielded a lot of copper coins, so they had to be packed into sacks.
Lin Luoxi looked at the sack of copper coins in front of her, and with the money exchange manager's mocking expression, she didn't need Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan's help. She reached out, slung the heavy sack over her back, and swaggered away.
"Hiss~" The money shop manager gasped when he saw Lin Luoxi effortlessly lift the large bag of copper coins that would have taken two strong men to carry.
This girl is no ordinary person; judging from her steady steps, she must have a solid foundation in martial arts.
"Shopkeeper, what are they going to do with so many copper coins?" The shop assistant looked greedily at the departing figures of Lin Luoxi and her companions.
"Hmph, why do you care what they use them for? Mind your own business." Manager Qian seemed to notice the servant's gaze, snorted coldly, turned around, and went back behind the counter to fiddle with his abacus.
The servant seemed oblivious to the meaning behind his manager's words. After watching Lin Luoxi and the other two disappear around the corner of the street, he tossed the towel in his hand onto the table and turned to leave.
"What a fool! Always eyeing things that don't belong to him..." The money shop manager snorted as he watched Xiao Si leave, then lowered his head to continue working on the unfinished ledgers.
It wasn't that the money shop manager disliked the servant; it was mainly because the servant was a relative of the owner's stepmother, a good-for-nothing who was all talk and no action and all he did all day was engage in these underhanded schemes.
As long as it doesn't affect the money exchange's business, he chooses to turn a blind eye.
"Second sister, how about I carry it?" Lin Wenqian saw that the sack containing copper coins was even bigger than Lin Luoxi's, so he stepped forward and tried to take the sack from Lin Luoxi's back.
"It's okay, big brother, I can do it."
"Besides, we're on the street now, and the noise we make will let everyone know what's inside. It's not safe." He glanced casually at the people around him and quietly explained the situation to Lin Wenqian.
Lin Luoxi refused Lin Wenqian's help, after all, Lin Wenqian's shoulders looked even thinner than hers, and Lin Luoxi didn't think Lin Wenqian could carry her.
"Well, okay, then when you can't carry me anymore, let me take over." There were many pedestrians on the street, so Lin Wenqian didn't insist anymore.
"Why don't you take it from me?" Xie Hanchuan stepped forward and offered his services when he saw the huge sack that almost bent Lin Luoxi under its weight.
"It's alright, Brother Hanchuan, it's nothing for a girl like me to carry." Since she, a girl, could carry it so easily, passersby would only think she was carrying something worthless.
"Oh, right, we need to buy a lot of things today. You and my older brother go buy meat, and I'll go buy rice and noodles..."
After saying that, without giving Lin Wenqian and Xie Hanchuan a chance to refuse, he turned around, turned into a small alley, and walked towards the shop where he had bought rice before.
In a corner unseen by Xie Hanchuan and Lin Wenqian, Lin Luoxi first looked around, and when she found no one, she slipped into her spatial dimension.
The first thing I did upon entering the space was to empty all the copper coins from the sack, and then...
