I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

The old stall owner took the key to open the door lock in front of him, pushed the door open and walked in.

Turning around, he saw Wei Miao following in. The strange look on his face had disappeared, and he exclaimed in his heart again.

Wei Miao looked around the small courtyard with a patio. The layout was surprisingly similar to their home in the alley, with three main rooms on the upper and lower floors, and four side rooms on the left and right.

However, the yard was overgrown with weeds, covering the wellhead. On the only osmanthus tree, pale yellow osmanthus stamens hung on the branches, but because they were not in full bloom, the fragrance was not strong.

There was also a rough bird's nest, and a magpie standing on a branch, looking at the two people who broke in vigilantly.

The old stall owner pushed open the door covered with spider webs, and a musty smell rushed in.

He fumbled for the light switch, and the dark room instantly lit up.

Wei Miao looked up at the simple French chandelier on the ceiling, which was much brighter than the lowest-wattage tungsten filament lamp in their home.

"Girl, tell me."

The old stall owner brushed away the thick dust on the mahogany chair with his sleeve and sat down on it calmly.

Wei Miao was not embarrassed by his identity being exposed. He stood in front of him calmly, bowed to the old eunuch and said:

"I was presumptuous today. If I had no other choice, I would not have intentionally interfered in your affairs."

The old eunuch suddenly laughed when he saw that she seemed honest but said nothing.

Maybe it was because the dust was too heavy and I choked while laughing.

Wei Miao went forward to give him a back massage. After a long while, he finally coughed until his eyes were red.

The old stall owner waved his hand, signaling Wei Miao to stop hammering, and asked her:

"How do you know the markings inside this thing?"

Wei Miao pursed her lips, her dimples shallow, "I heard someone talk about it by chance, and I kept it in mind."

The old stall owner did not comment on her answer and asked again: "Do you know that this thing was bought by that young master and sold at a sky-high price?"

Wei Miao nodded.

"Then you're not tempted?"

Wei Miao shook his head again and said slowly: "Money can move people's hearts. I can be moved, and so can others. I am afraid that I may be able to get it but not spend it."

The old stall owner smiled again on his fair face and said with emotion:

"You are very smart at such a young age, but you are a little girl, and you come here with an old man like me. Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes, which had been smiling just now, became extremely cold, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Wei Miao had been a lion, so the ability to warn of crises was ingrained in his bones.

Although the old stall owner had a sinister expression, he did not make her feel in danger.

"I don't want much, just to solve my current predicament." Wei Miao looked at the sky outside which was already dark and spoke softly.

The old stall owner didn't see any fear on her face, and he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or happy.

He took out two stacks of US dollars from his pocket, pushed one stack to Wei Miao, and said calmly:

"To be honest with you, I didn't intend to sell the bottle for a high price. Maybe five dollars, maybe ten dollars. I just wanted to kill time and repay someone a favor."

Wei Miao looked at the thick stack of green banknotes, and he didn't know what he felt.

She had been here for two years. She did nothing in the first half year, and in the next year and a half, she tried every possible way but only managed to save forty silver dollars.

He spent a total of twenty silver dollars on buying cigarette boxes and paying protection fees, and the rest was exchanged for medicine.

Judging from the aggressive look of Mr. Dong from the car dealership, she might not be able to keep her home.

She had no other options but to resort to this desperate measure, using her clan's talent, the Qi-observing skill.

Although this time she had used up all the little bit of fireworks she had collected from the lion group when she was a lion, she still wanted to come and try her luck.

Fortunately, she waited for the person she was waiting for.

Wei Miao looked at the US dollars on the dusty table, took out five from the stack, and returned the rest:

"These are all I need. I've borrowed them from you. I'll pay you back when I have money."

Wei Miao would have money sooner or later, but cause and effect cannot be easily entangled. The cause and effect between her and the old stall owner was something she forced.

She forced him to get a considerable sum of money, and he gave her some compensation. The two were cause and effect, and the matter was settled on the spot.

If she took $10,000 from the old stall owner, she would be in debt to him.

If she cannot repay it, it will be very detrimental to her cultivation in this life.

The old stall owner walked Wei Miao to the intersection. Under the dim street lights, he stretched out his hand to stop a rickshaw for Wei Miao.

"Go up."

Wei Miao got on the rickshaw obediently. The old stall owner gave the rickshaw driver a dollar and said, "After you drop me off, go to Huizhong Hotel to find Mr. Huang. There will be a reward."

The rickshaw driver took the money and was extremely happy. He promised loudly:

"Don't worry, I will definitely send the young master home."

"Julanli Alley." Wei Miao said the address.

"Okay, young master, hold on tight." The rickshaw driver stood up slightly and ran away.

Huang Baoquan continued to stand hunched under the dim street lights until the rickshaw was no longer visible.

Occasionally, there were fashionable ladies and gentlemen in gorgeous clothes walking back and forth around him, but he didn't care at all.

"Godfather, why don't you take her away?" Huang Xiaoan, who had followed all the way, was puzzled.

Huang Baoquan retracted his gaze and looked at the only disciple he brought out from the palace, and sighed faintly:

"Her eyes are so clear..."

He didn't say the rest. Their trip to the Northeast to find their master was not only difficult, but the future was also very bleak.

It's rare to face such an intelligent and non-greedy child, so just treat it as one of his few acts of kindness.

After a whole day of hard work, Wei Miao sat in the rickshaw and reviewed everything carefully. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there were no loopholes.

She never thought about interrupting the reconciliation from the beginning to the end. Getting the bottle must be the cause and effect.

Second, this bottle could be sold for 35 yuan in the hands of the Lu family, but in her hands it could only be sold for yuan at most.

Just for this 35,000 yuan, she has to worry about the lives of her entire family and change her relatively stable life. Why bother?

After thinking for a while, she took out a key and five hundred dollars from her pocket.

It was the key that the old stall owner used to open the door and the extra five hundred dollars.

Wei Miao sighed softly; this cause and effect continued uncontrollably.

It was only when the rickshaw had gone a long way away that she discovered these things in her pocket. When she turned her head, she could no longer see the people on the roadside.

She was such an alert person, but she didn't even know how the old stall owner put the money in her pocket.

When the rickshaw passed by a cafe in the French Concession, they were processing the leftover baguettes and some snacks from the day outside.

The bread in this coffee shop is all baked by themselves. Although it’s not as popular as the Russian bakery not far away, nor as crispy and soft as the Lao Dachang bread, it has its own flavor.

Especially when closing time is approaching every day, they will take the items out for charity sale at low prices.

Wei Miao would sometimes come here to pick up bargains, buy some filling baguettes and cheap cakes, and take them home to feed his children.

"Please wait for me for a moment." Wei Miao said.

The rickshaw driver stopped his rickshaw with a courteous attitude and said:

"Young Master, you go."

Wei Miao walked towards the door of the coffee shop, and a waitress standing at the door came out with a smile.

"Ah Miao, I haven't seen you for a few days."
