1Not only was Little Cat not afraid of Qingfeng, he also admired her.
He also wanted to be as powerful as Qingfeng.
He was obediently carried by Qingfeng to Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong looked at him gently and reached out to touch the top of his head. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to treat your injuries.”
When Little Cat heard her words, he, who was very strong and did not cry just now, at this moment, had tears flowing unconsciously.
Qingfeng took Little Cat to the pharmacy.
Bai Wutong looked up at the mountain in the direction of Lintian Village. There were many people hiding there. She said to the dark guards, “Go and capture them.”
“Yes.”
The dark guards rushed out like shadows. The children were dumbfounded and even forgot to cry.
Lin Chenghai squatted in the bushes at the top of the mountain. The man beside him asked anxiously, “Will it work? Will that woman give us money?”
Lin Chenghai’s head hurt from his nagging. “Women are soft-hearted. She will definitely give it to us. Besides, she’s already earned so much money. What’s wrong with giving us some?!”
If not for the fact that there were so many experts in the village, Lin Chenghai would have asked for more.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark shadows that descended from the sky restrained the dozen or so men on the mountain.
Everyone was shocked. Before they could even resist, they were lined up like caterpillars and chased to the entrance of Youjia village by the dark guards.
Lin Chenghai did not have any confidence, but he still gritted his teeth and said, “What are you trying to do? Don’t think that just because Lord Yang is supporting you, you can be arrogant!”
Bai Wutong looked at him coldly. “We helped you find the children. You should thank us and give us an appreciation fee. How can you call it being arrogant?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Chenghai was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was here to ask for money, not to deliver it.
He said angrily, “Our children knows to come back. It’s none of your business!”
This was what Bai Wutong had been waiting for. “Really? They’re blocking the way here and crying. I thought they were unwanted children. I almost called the authorities.”
The villagers of Lintian Village were intimidated by Bai Wutong. Afraid that she would report to the authorities and take their children away, they hurriedly picked up their children and rushed back.
In a short while, only Lin Chenghai and his child were left.
He knew that it was impossible for Bai Wutong to spit out the money she had received, nor did he dare to ask for it personally. He looked at Bai Wutong indignantly and could only bring the dejected Lin Yao back.
Youjia village entrance was at peace again.
Village Chief Zhao spat at their backs. “Shameless!”
Auntie Yang nodded. “It’s not that he’s shameless. A married man can even get a young lady pregnant. How can such a person be worthy of being the village chief? No wonder everyone in Lintian Village is poor.”
She returned what Lin Yao had said about Little Cat.
Her words were harsh and loud. Lin Chenghai and Lin Yao heard it.
Lin Chenghai almost broke his teeth from gritting too hard. Lin Yao hated his father even more. Why did he bring that woman, Wang Mingyue, home and make himself a laughing stock? Why did he have to give birth to a little bastard to compete with him for the family assets?
…
When Bai Wutong returned home, she sent someone to gather the people who were going to help her make wine.
She had specially prepared exquisite money bags for everyone to exchange for new money at the bank.
Chu Tianbao contributed the most. Bai Wutong prepared 20 taels of gold for him.
Before everyone arrived, Bai Wutong had already given it to him in advance.
“The salary for brewing wine. This is for Tianbao.”
He opened the bag and was overjoyed. “Thank you, my wife. You’re the best.”
Bai Wutong asked him to put it away and reminded him, “Don’t put it away casually. Be careful not to lose it. If you have anything you want to buy, don’t go into the mountains to catch bears. Just use this money.”
Chu Tianbao nodded and placed the money bag in Bai Wutong’s hand. “Wife, help me put it away.”
Bai Wutong chuckled. “Aren’t you afraid that it’ll be gone if I keep for you?”
Chu Tianbao chuckled. “It’s for my wife anyways.”
Bai Wutong looked at his serious expression and pinched his face. “Thank you, Tianbao.”
When everyone was here, Bai Wutong began to pay them according to their salary.
Cui Lingyi, Cui Muzhi, and Lin Yue did not expect them to have a share. They looked excited, but they politely declined.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “If not for everyone’s help, we wouldn’t have been able to earn money. This money should have been given to you. If you don’t accept it, I won’t let you help next time.”
Since Bai Wutong had already said so, they could not refuse and could only accept the money bag.
This was the first time Cui Muzhi had earned money on his own. He opened the bag and saw that it was two taels of silver.
He had only done some light work casually, but he had actually obtained two taels. This was too good!
He immediately picked up the money bag and showed off to Cui Lingyi. “Sister, look, I’ve earned silver!”
Cui Lingyi smiled and praised, “Yes, you’re amazing!”
The other onlookers looked envious. Bai Wutong was too generous. There were so many of them. If they all received two taels of silver, it would be at least a few hundred taels.
This was more than what the carpenters earned from working in the workshops!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Yue also stole a glance at his money bag. Good lord, Bai Wutong had given him five taels of silver!
He glanced at Qingfeng’s money bag again. Looking at the heavy weight, it was probably even more than his.
Lin Yue asked her curiously, “How much money do you have?”
Qingfeng handed the bag of money to him. Lin Yue took it and opened it. His mouth widened.
Bai Wutong was too generous!
...
There were actually ten taels of gold in the money bag for Qingfeng!
Gold!
He was jealous!
Although he had kept a lot of money, Qingfeng was actually also good at earning money.
He looked resentful. A smile flashed across Qingfeng’s eyes. Her good-looking appearance was tinged with gentleness. Lin Yue looked up and was stunned.
Qingfeng saw that he was clutching the purse. “Do you want it?”
Lin Yue suddenly came back to his senses and stuffed the money bag into her hand. “Who wants it? I have plenty of money!”
His gaze landed on his own money bag and he quickly turned around. He stuffed his money bag into Qingfeng’s hand and said nervously, “Here, here!”
Qingfeng was stunned. She looked at the bag of money in her hand and raised her eyes again. Lin Yue was already hiding somewhere in the corner.
Everyone was very happy to receive the silver. When the young masters and young ladies of the 30 families of Qinghe saw Cui Muzhi holding the silver with a smile on his face, they were very envious.
Although their monthly allowance was two taels, they really wanted to earn money on their own like Cui Muzhi.
...
They were envious, and some of them were even more envious. Zhao Erwa’s father did not know carpentry. Previously, the 30 big families in Qinghe would hire small workers, so he could earn some money. Now that everyone had settled down, his father did not have any skills, so he could only watch others earn money.
Zhao Lanzhi had yet to get married. Her reputation was not good now, so her parents had to prepare more dowry. The school in the village was about to finish building. Zhao Erwa had to go to school and they would need to pay for his tuition fees, daily expenses, and everything else. How could they count on the few acres of land they had been allocated to?
Zhao Erwa’s mother couldn’t help but ask Bai Wutong, “Madam, are you still going to make wine next year? Our family can also help. Our Old Zhao can do two people’s work!”
