n67 A House and a Cart

nThe driver received the money and rode off.

nLin Xiaoyue didn’t have the mood to talk to the others in the cart today. She sat in the corner, lost in thought.

nWhen she left Ruyi Restaurant, she had a total of 105 taels. Adding the 250 taels she got from selling the mirror, she had 355 taels!

nAlso, Liang Chengcai said that he would give her another 20 taels for teaching him. With that, she had a total of 375 taels!

nHaha, she could have a courtyard and an ox cart!

nMaybe she could even upgrade to a horse cart immediately!

nNo one in their village had a horse cart!

nWhen the house was built, she could send Xiaozhi to the school in town. By then, she could bring Xiaozhi to school every day!

nThinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue was overjoyed.

nThen, she heard the driver say, “Daishi Village!”

nLin Xiaoyue came to her senses after being nudged by an aunt next to her.

n“Girl, we’ve arrived at Daishi Village! You’re from there, right?” The woman asked.

nShe thought that Lin Xiaoyuen was pretty, but she kept smiling to herself after getting into the cart. Was there anything wrong with her?

n“Oh, yes! Thank you!” Lin Xiaoyue quickly said.

nShe didn’t mind the way the lady looked at her.

nThen, she got up, took the basket, and quickly got out of the cart.

nThen, she ran toward Daishi Village.

nAfter a while, Lin Xiaoyue was home, panting.

nAt this time, Liu Shi was drying clothes in the yard. She was surprised to see her daughter coming back so early.

nBefore she could say anything, Lin Xiaoyue had already called out to her.

n“Mom!”

nThen, she ran to her mother.

n“Mom, come with me!” She grabbed her wrist and took her into the house.

nLiu Shi looked at the clothes that she hadn’t finished drying, but gave up.

n“Sis!” Lin Xiaozhi called out to his sister and followed her into the house.

nLin Xiaoyue waited until Lin Xiaozhi entered the house before she checked the surroundings. After making sure that no one was around, she closed the broken door.

n“Mom, sit.” Then she brought Liu Shi to the table.

nLiu Shi’s face flashed with fear.

nWhat’s wrong? Why was she so cautious?

n“Good news!” Lin Xiaoyue saw her mother’s worry and whispered with a smile.

nLiu Shi was stunned, then she relaxed and glanced at Lin Xiaoyue.

n“What is it?”

nLin Xiaoyue smiled mysteriously. Then, she took out 15 silver ingots and put them on the table.

nLiu Shi’s eyes almost fell out.

n“Where…where did this come from?!” She was so shocked that she almost lost her voice.

nThen, without waiting for Lin Xiaoyue’s reply, she quickly looked in the direction of the gate.

n“Put it away quickly,” she said to Lin Xiaoyue.

nLin Xiaoyue smiled happily. “Keep it. We can use It to build our yard.”

nLiu Shi looked at her daughter. She was afraid that someone would suddenly barge in, so she quickly put away the silver ingots.

n“Where did you get all this money?” She looked at her daughter.

nLin Xiaoyue’s face was still full of joy.

nThen, she told her mother everything that happened when she went to town today.
