In the inn, everyone in the Zhao family was almost going crazy with joy. Afraid of being discovered, the two elders of the Zhao family wanted to laugh, so they took out their handkerchiefs and bit them hard to make no sound.
His expression was very ferocious.
When I knew it, I was so excited that I couldn't express it in words. When I didn't know it, I thought I was being subjected to one of the ten cruel tortures of the Qing Dynasty.
"Oh my God, so much money, do you think we are rich? What if we get robbed with so much money?" Old Mrs. Zhao said worriedly.
The money has always been with Zhao Taohua.
Because it was Zhao Taohua who initiated the incident, everyone trusted Zhao Taohua.
She had taken the money to the bank and exchanged it for small silver coins of one tael each, which she then placed in the space. She felt that the space was safe, but outsiders didn't know that she had a space.
For example, their daily sales could earn them more than ten taels of silver.
If you really encounter a robbery, it will be very difficult to deal with.
Everyone has worked so hard for so long, if they are robbed, it will be a fatal blow.
Although the three pillars of the Zhao family have some fighting ability, Zhao Taohua has been with them day and night and has long regarded them as her closest relatives. How could she bear to see them get hurt?
"It was my mother who reminded me."
Zhao Taohua thought about it calmly and had to be more careful.
He asked the waiter at the inn where they were staying to go out and quietly hire a luxurious horse-drawn carriage for them. In that era, ordinary people rode in ox-drawn carts.
Horse-drawn carriages were mostly used by officials and wealthy families.
However, recently, due to the poetry and prose conference in the county, more and more distinguished people have been riding in carriages.
So Zhao Taohua hired the carriage to pretend to be a nobleman. Ordinary thieves did not dare to attack the nobleman during the poetry and prose conference in the county town.
But if someone really did spot them, and the carriage was moving very fast, if it really rushed, the thief would definitely be able to catch up.
After all, a thief who can rob people on horseback will definitely not look down on their dozens of taels of silver.
"How much does it cost to hire a horse-drawn carriage? We can hire an ox-drawn carriage, and the most expensive one is only two or three hundred coins."
Old Mrs. Zhao felt distressed and gasped, thinking how mean she was to talk so badly.
"Mom, if you don't sacrifice your child, you won't be able to catch the wolf. If you really encounter a robber, you won't be able to save a single pound."
Zhao Taohua was relieved. After the waiter hired a carriage and gave him some tips, the Zhao family got on the carriage from the back door, quickly left the county town, and headed towards the town.
Arrived at Jinhua Town.
Li Erniu had been waiting for a long time, but he didn't expect that they would come back in a carriage.
"Uncle Zhao, Brother Zhuzi, you can't go back to the village. Everyone in the village knows about your affair. If you go back now, you might just fall into the tiger's mouth," Li Erniu hurried over and whispered.
After all, there was too much noise in the morning.
"By the way, where is the bucket when you came back in the carriage?" Li Erniu asked casually.
Zhao Taohua said indifferently: "Since the horse carriage couldn't fit it, we found an ox cart to transport it. If we can send it back, we'll send it back. If not, we'll buy another cart."
A wooden barrel costs only twenty or thirty cents.
But Zhao Taohua's wealth still made Li Erniu gasp.
Just as they finished talking, they saw a man who had just arrived in the town get off the car and shout, "This is terrible! There are robbers outside the county town. An ox cart pulling a wooden barrel has been hijacked... It's been a peaceful month, and this kind of thing still happens..."
When the Zhao family heard this, their expressions changed.
Using an ox cart to transport the goods was actually... a trick of Zhao Taohua, I didn't expect it.
"Did anyone get hurt?"
Zhao Taohua hurried over to ask the man.
The man had clearly never seen anything like this before. Just as he was recovering from the shock, he shook his head and said, "The driver was an old man. Those thieves seemed to be after money, not life. When they saw we had no money, they ran off. They stopped a few ox carts along the way, asking if they were looking for anyone selling iced drinks."
Everyone in the Zhao family looked even uglier when they heard this.
