"Hmph, a bunch of poor fellows, you are not qualified to know the identity of my young lady." The maidservant beside her said arrogantly.
The servant also raised his chin high, as if there was an extraordinary identity behind this young lady.
The pink-dressed woman raised her chin in agreement when she heard her maid's words. She was certain that Xiao Ling'er couldn't come up with the money, so she suggested in a condescending tone:
"How about this, if you can't come up with one hundred and eighty-nine taels of silver, you can take off your coat and your shirt in exchange for the money."
Gu Yunting, who had been standing there, had a cold light in his eyes. He walked over to Xiao Linger and ordered:
"Gu Bei, give them five hundred taels of silver and take off all her clothes."
"Yes." Gu Bei appeared, eager to try.
"You dare, if you dare to take off my young lady's clothes, our master will make sure you can't stay in Jianzhou after he finds out."
The servant and the maid stood in front of the woman at the same time, and it was the servant who spoke.
Xiao Ling'er's mouth twitched, and she finally understood that these people were either stupid or frogs in the well.
Anyone with a little knowledge should be able to realize at this moment that Gu Yunting's identity is not simple.
A person who has secret guards in the dark and can casually take out five hundred taels, is he someone they think is not allowed to stay in Jianzhou?
Didn’t you notice that the other people had all moved away a little? They were looking at Gu Yunting with suspicion.
"Wait." Xiao Ling'er called Gu Bei.
He took out one hundred and eighty-nine taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the woman. He looked at her and said, "Okay, just take off her coat."
"Why?" The woman covered her clothes.
"Because I've compensated you, this dress is mine now since I bought it. It doesn't seem right for you to wear it."
"Then, I don't want the silver." The woman regretted.
"You don't have the final say on everything." Xiao Ling'er said coldly, and the woman's clothes automatically exploded.
"Ah--" the woman screamed and quickly stripped off the clothes of the maid next to her and put them on.
"Miss, don't you want it? I'll buy it for you right away." The maid covered her collar tightly.
"Come and help." The lady ordered the servant.
"Yes." The servant came over to help, and in a few seconds he stripped off the maid's coat and put it on himself.
A strange thing happened. The maid's clothes worn by the woman exploded automatically.
"Wow, what's going on?"
"Is it because I've done too many bad things and this is my retribution?"
"This is obviously God punishing her."
The onlookers began to discuss quietly again, and Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting returned to the Misty Village.
She needed to go and see the Xiao family's land. The thousands of acres of land should be planted with all kinds of vegetables, herbs, and fruits.
A large pile was built next to the land. This pile was more than twice as large as the Misty Village. All the people living in the farm were the people who planted and managed the farm.
The contract that Xiao Ling'er asked Wei Zheming to sign with them was a three-year, 50-50 profit split, meaning that the profits from all the crops they grew would be divided equally.
Of course, the operators are all Wei Zheming's people. They are the ones who come to collect vegetables, medicinal herbs, and fruits every time, and the income of Xiao Ling'er's family is also given directly by them.
Every transaction is recorded to facilitate reconciliation of the account book. In fact, Xiao Ling'er trusts Wei Zheming as a person, but it is hard to say about his subordinates.
Now that the contract terms with these farm workers are about to expire, she plans to review them and decide whether to renew them. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
