After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

"Brother Cui, this banknote..."

Lin didn't expect that the two men would be so quick to pay this time. She was holding the banknotes in her hand, feeling a little helpless.

"Don't you still need to buy something? Go quickly, and let me take care of the banknotes first."

Uncle Cui took the banknote from Lin's hand and handed the purse that had caused controversy back to her.

Everyone had checked the purse before, and there were only two small coins in it.

Even after handing over such a large banknote, Lin did not show any sign of reluctance or pain. Instead, she seemed to be relieved.

Although she hadn't seen a banknote of such a large denomination for many years, it didn't originally belong to her.

On the contrary, if she hadn't happened to meet Uncle Cui who came to help, she would have lost her own money, let alone other things.

So Lin didn't have anything to feel sad about. After giving the things away, she felt relieved all over. She sincerely thanked Uncle Cui and several yamen runners, and then left in a hurry.

There were still many people watching the fun. Uncle Cui glanced at the crowd and put the fifty-liang silver note into his arms.

"Brothers, thank you for enforcing the law impartially today. We will drink together next time we have the chance."

As he spoke, he winked at the leading yamen runner and, taking advantage of the opportunity when they passed each other, slipped a ten-liang silver ingot into his hand.

"Hahaha...Okay, okay, this is our duty. No need to be so polite."

The yamen runners were no longer surprised by these things and were very satisfied with Uncle Cui's sensibleness. The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries before bowing and taking their leave.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed one after another when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch.

Although he escaped unharmed, Lin still lost interest in buying anything else. He just bought a few necessities and hurried home.

Before I walked two blocks, I saw Li Xiao jogging towards me.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Seeing Lin, Li Xiao pulled her around to look at her, and confirmed that she was okay, then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hoohoo... Li Xiao, you... you're running too fast..."

Just as Lin was about to say that she was fine, she noticed a few teenagers in their teens running over. They were all kids from the north of the city and were Li Xiao's good friends.

"Auntie, I'm glad you're okay..."

Several young men ran up to Lin, panting, and were relieved to see that she was indeed fine.

"I'm fine. Fortunately, I met your Uncle Cui who helped me, so I was able to get out of this situation smoothly."

Only then did Lin realize that these children had come to pick her up specially. She couldn't help but feel touched. There were still people coming and going on the street, so she didn't say much and walked towards the north of the city with the boys.

After arriving home, Li Xiao first closed the broken wooden door of the small courtyard, then pulled Lin into the house, took out a silver note from his arms and handed it to Lin.

"Mom, Uncle Cui came to me specifically and said that someone was causing trouble for you, and he gave me this banknote."

"Your uncle Cui is such a good man."

Lin held the banknotes in her hand, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart and her eyes were sore.

She thought her son came to pick her up because he heard from others about what happened to her outside, but it turned out that the man had made a special trip.

Not only did he help her deliver the letter, he also sent her the silver bill.

Seeing that her son was still looking at her with curiosity, Lin was afraid that he would think too much, so she told him in detail what happened outside today.

"This is simply too much."

When Li Xiao heard that his mother was framed and insulted in public, he was so angry that his face turned red. He walked around the room twice and finally wanted to rush out with the stick that was pushing the door, but was quickly stopped by Lin.

"Don't be impulsive. We are not their opponents yet."

Lin calmed Li Xiao down and took the stick from his hand before she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, your Uncle Cui is here today, so Mom didn't suffer any loss. When we have the chance in the future, we will repay him well."

It was only at this time that Lin figured out why Uncle Cui took the banknote on the street today and now gave it to her son.

There were quite a few people watching at that time, and there might be some thieves among them. Fifty taels of silver is a lot of money, and there is no guarantee that someone would take the risk.

After Lin figured it out, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, and her gratitude towards Uncle Cui grew even stronger.

The man looked serious, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful in doing things.

In order to calm down, as it was New Year's Day, Lin and her son simply cooked a large table of delicious food.

There were sausages and smoked meat given by Yuxiu, as well as a few side dishes they made themselves. Lin also took out half a pound of rice wine that she had bought earlier, and the mother and daughter had a great New Year together.

Yuxiu's family is also celebrating the New Year tonight.

Old Mrs. Cui has been taken back by Uncle Cui. Since Mrs. Cui cannot be exposed to the wind, they simply set up a table in Mrs. Cui's room.

The dishes were very rich. Yuxiu took Xu Qinghe into the space and let him pick out a bottle of good wine and some of his favorite side dishes.

Cui couldn't eat these and couldn't drink alcohol, so Yuxiu asked the kitchen to make a special soup for her and add a few light side dishes.

In order to allow the maids and women who were taking care of the two children to concentrate on taking care of them, Yuxiu had arranged for them to have dinner in advance, and gave each of them a big red envelope when they came back.

As for the other servants in the mansion, Xu Qinghe asked Zhang Wentang, the chief steward, to make arrangements. He also set up several tables in the front yard, with good wine and delicious food for everyone to enjoy. Later, he would go out and give everyone a big red envelope, which would be considered as the New Year celebration.

Xu Qinghe was in no hurry to drink. After Yuxiu finished her meal with Cui, she heard the small system calling her.

"Host, host, everything is finally going to be upgraded..."

Yuxiu's heart moved. She didn't expect that this small system would be upgraded during the Chinese New Year. Seeing that there was nothing to do here, she said hello to Cui and returned to her own yard.

"This upgrade requires points from the host system mall, but the exact amount is not yet determined."

The small system also sounded very excited. It didn't know how long it had been waiting for this upgrade.

"I agree. You can deduct it yourself when the time comes."

Yuxiu was also very happy because she had put Lingquan Water and Peiyuan Pills on the shelves several times in the past period of time, and now the points in the mall have accumulated to a very high number.

The last upgrade took so much time, but this time it only took a few hours. In the middle of the night, Yuxiu was woken up by the small system.

"Host, host, wake up quickly. The system has been upgraded successfully. You can check it anytime..."
