Chapter 20 Don't Let Him Suspect You (2/2)



The basket was carried by Chi Dahu, with the pastries and tea placed on top.

Of course, the pawnshop owner was thoughtful; the bottom of the basket was wrapped in a light yellow linen cloth.

Therefore, even outsiders cannot see what is inside through the gap.

Chi Qiao didn't rush to buy anything; instead, she followed Chi Dahu back to the west of the city.

At that time, apart from Chi Erxiong and Chi Sanbao, who came to say goodbye to Chi Yu, the rest of the Chi family members who came to support him all went back.

Seeing that everyone from the Chi family had come except for Huang Dani, who was taking care of her child at the clinic, Chi Qiao said:

"Wait a moment, I'll go check on Xiaoyu first, and I'll have something to say to you later."

Now that she knew there would be various natural disasters coming, she had to get everyone ready.

Only when everyone is well can she and Xiaoyu be well!

No one knew what Chi Qiao was up to, and they exchanged bewildered glances as she hastily left after saying those words.

Chi Yu, who was in her postpartum confinement period in the room, heard her eldest sister's voice.

Seeing her come in, and since there was no one else in the room, he asked, "Sister, how are you?"

If that's not enough, I have seventy taels of silver I just lost; take it to tide you over.

"That's great, five hundred taels was pawned, it's a sure thing!"

Chi Yu has the original owner's memories, and because of Qi Mingyu, she has a better understanding of money than Chi Qiao.

Upon hearing that it was five hundred taels, he couldn't help but gasp.

My goodness, this set costs five hundred taels, and that's in such a small place.

If you were to take it to the prefectural city or the capital to sell, wouldn't it be worth thousands of taels?

In that case, she wouldn't have to do anything in her life; with those crystal jewelry, wouldn't she be able to live a life of luxury without lifting a finger?

Chi Qiao knew what this brat was thinking the moment she saw her.

She immediately lowered her voice and said, "Little Fish, I went to the pawnshop with your older brother."

I figured he might be starting to doubt my identity.

I want to conceal my identity and tell him about this special opportunity.

The wasteland in the left and right spaces needs to be cultivated.

Even if we worked ourselves to death, we still couldn't finish it.

If you agree, we'll take your older brother into the space first, and then tell him about the upcoming natural disasters.

As the eldest brother, you know how much weight his words carry in the family.

Your second and third brothers both blindly believed him.

If he can accept it, then we can divide the five hundred taels into smaller portions and let everyone disperse to make preparations.

Some people hoarded food, while others bought warm clothing, such as cotton.

In addition, there are medicinal herbs, waterproof oil paper and oilcloth, etc.

Unless we stop staying on the mountain and start planning our escape now.”

Chi Yu quickly shook his head: "That won't do! The Great Chu Kingdom has strict population movement management; you need a travel permit to go anywhere."

Why are so many people running out for no reason?

They weren't considered refugees or spies, so they were arrested!

Chi Qiao also nodded: "Yes, that's what I think too."

In ancient times, land was tied to farmers, and population movement was strictly controlled.

"Our Chijia'ao is quite nice. Although it's deep in the mountains, its high altitude and remote location make it safe."

Chi Yu wholeheartedly agreed, "Well, if that's the case, then let's divide the silver!"

Let my older brother know later that I pawned this thing, so he won't suspect you.

Furthermore, my older brothers and sisters-in-law, as well as my nephews, have all been very kind to me.

If she's truly exceptional, I'm unwilling to be a saintly sucker.

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao reached out and tapped her forehead.

"You, a saintly fool? Alright, you can rest now, I'm going out for a bit."
