“How could I not trust my sister-in-law?” Zhang Shun said, but he still couldn’t help but count the copper coins again. After making sure the number was correct, he said goodbye and left with the bundles of snake meat wrapped in grass.
Su Qingyue entered the master bedroom, “Third Brother, how much more do we need to make up five taels?”
“We borrowed one and a half taels from Fuquan, plus the 200 copper coins saved from our home, the 1,496 cents from selling things, the 400 copper coins from Fourth Brother, and the 576 cents from selling snake meat. The total is four taels of silver and 672 copper coins.” Xiao Yuchuan frowned, “We are still 128 copper coins short of five taels.”
Su Qingyue was not in a hurry, “We can still pawn our silver needles. If we pawn them, we’ll have enough and more.”
Xiao Yuchuan looked at her, “Wife, you never really intended to pawn the silver needles, did you?”
“You’re a little smart.” She did not deny it, “You should thank my silver needles for waking you up today. And Second Brother, who was poisoned by the snake, also needs to slowly take medicine and receive acupuncture. We can sell our house, but we can’t sell the silver needles.”
The atmosphere in the room became silent again.
Xiao Yishan made a decision, “Yue’er, let’s sell the silver needles after all. My snake poisoning is not a big deal, my body is strong and will gradually heal.
With the silver from the needles, we can spare some money to buy medicine for
Third Brother first.”
Xiao Yuchuan was moved after hearing this, “Second Brother…” He didn’t want his wife to sell the silver needles either, but there was nothing else of value left in the house, and they were running out of options for the remaining money. “wny so serious”‘ su Qingyue put on a DOI( race, “12b copper coins, 1 Will go earn them!”
Xiao Yuchuan looked at her with a puzzled face, “Wife, how will you earn it?”
She patted her chest, “I created this mountain, and I paved this road!”
Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan both looked confused. Yuchuan stared at her skeptically, “Wife, you got it the wrong way round. It’s ‘I created this mountain, and I paved this road.’ You said ‘paved the road and created the mountain,’ which is wrong.”
“Wrong is wrong, as long as others understand it.” Does robbing need to be reasonable?
Chuan worried, “Wife, is your next line going to say, ‘If you want to pass through, leave behind some money to buy the way’?”
‘Yes.”
He was shocked, “Wife, do you want to be a robber?”
She counter-questioned, “Is there a problem?”
He couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Wife, with your small stature, let alone being a robber, you standing there with Guan Gong’s broadsword wouldn’t be intimidating. If you really become a robber, you would be flattened without knowing… ‘
She nodded, “That makes sense. So, I’ve decided not to be a robber…” Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan hadn’t even breathed a sigh of relief when she added another sentence, “I’ve decided to be a bandit.”
Chuan asked coldly, “Is there a difference?”
“Bandits only need to rob, while robbers also need to steal. Being a bandit is simpler.” She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go out with a spirited air. “Hold on!” Xiao Yishan hurriedly called out to her, “Yue’er, are you serious?” “When have I ever joked?” She said, reassuring them, “Second Brother, Third Brother, don’t worry. I’ll be fine. No one can flatten me. They say, ‘A cent can kill a hero.’ I’m being pushed by over a hundred cents, my pressure is a hundred times heavier! Even if I sadly come across a matchless expert that kills me, I’d have died for a good reason.”
Xiao Yishan struggled to sit up, his face full of anxiety, “Yue’er, don’t go. I’d rather die than let you risk your life..”
