Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Old Lady Lin looked at Ting He with a sad face, watching her hand the heavy ten taels of silver to Liu without hesitation, and she couldn't help but feel helpless and sigh in her heart. She slowly raised her head, looked at the distant sky, her lips trembling slightly, and whispered softly:

"Second brother, you have such a miserable fate in this life! Why did you marry such an unreasonable, trouble-making woman? I'm afraid the reputation of our Lin family will be ruined by her..." There was endless regret and resentment in his voice.

As Mrs. Lin's mutterings echoed in the air, it seemed as if time had frozen. Everything around became exceptionally quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze, as if mourning for the family's misfortune.

Ting He didn't think too much about it, but blinked meaningfully at Old Lady Lin and said mysteriously:

"Grandma, just wait and see. Our family doesn't need the ten taels of silver. After all, they are my parents. How can I not show my filial piety? It's okay if she doesn't sign the severance document. Let's wait and see how she will deal with the ten taels of silver."

After listening to He's words, she happily returned to the dilapidated house. The departure of Lin Laoer's family was a good thing for her. Suddenly, there were three less people competing with her for the house. It was much more convenient for her to live here alone. However, there was also a burden who could not be killed or driven away - Nan Tangqing, which made her a little angry.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Nan Tangqing sitting on the shabby bed in a daze, and Ting He asked unhappily:

"Are you feeling better? Why don't you leave? I have already found a way to save you, so you should repay me. If you don't leave quickly, what if the black-clad men who are chasing you come again? Wouldn't our Lin family be in trouble?"

Nan Tangqing's extraordinary demeanor did not conceal his brilliance even in the dilapidated environment. He smiled slightly and responded modestly and helplessly:

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I am indeed feeling much better. I just don't know if I can ask you what kind of medicine you used. My body is miraculously getting better. If I can find the black blood Ganoderma lucidum again, I think I will get better even faster."

Ting He pouted, showing no sign of timidity on the surface, but in her heart she kept criticizing this greedy guy. The black blood Ganoderma lucidum that she brought back from the back mountain was still planted next to the planting space, and it was now growing lushly. She definitely couldn't let this guy get away with it. But since he asked, could it be that his appearance in the back mountain was not accidental, and he came for the black blood Ganoderma lucidum, so she accidentally ran into him?

Ting He thought of this and asked, "What Lingzhi? I see that you are almost cured. You are not looking for an excuse not to leave and want to stay at our house. We have accommodated you in a remote place with food and drink, so it is not worth it for you to stay here. Don't talk to me about non-existent Lingzhi. Leave as soon as you are cured. This jade pendant of yours is only enough for half a month's food and accommodation expenses, and it will be used up soon. It would be embarrassing if I chased you away. You should leave as soon as possible."

Nan Tangqing's expression did not change at all. He nodded, "Okay, since the lady has said so, then I have no choice but to..."

He paused at this point, and Ting He Zheng stared at him without blinking. Seeing this, he blurted out, "You're leaving, right? Then I'll go pack your things for you, but I won't return the jade pendant. Just consider it as a life-saving fee."

As she was about to run out in two steps, Nan Tang Qing grabbed her sleeve at the right time and whispered in her ear:

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, young lady. I don't plan to leave Linjia Village until I'm fully recovered. I've decided to... renew my lease and stay for a while longer to recuperate until I recover."

Ting He paused when she heard that and was about to start cursing, but the piece of paper with a few words on it was dangling in front of her. Ting He stared at the crooked words for no reason and started to mutter, "Ten thousand taels of silver?"

"What? Ten thousand taels? This is a ten thousand tael silver note. Renewal payment, right? OK, OK, you can stay however you want. I'll take it."

Ting He quickly snatched the ten thousand taels and ran to the room of Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin, and said to them mysteriously:

"Grandpa and grandma, did you know that we've become rich? Look what this is? Ten thousand taels of silver, have you ever seen it? Haha, your granddaughter is amazing, this is the rent and food money paid by my savior."

Old Man Lin's hands were shaking slightly as he held the banknote. After a while, he said, "I can't read, so why is this banknote different from the others? Is it a real banknote?"

Mrs. Lin frowned and thought for a few moments, then took the banknote in her hand and said:

"It's true. There's a gold seal on the lower right corner. You have to go to the bank to exchange it. If you really take out 10,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid our house can't hold so much money. Zhaodi, although grandma didn't teach you since you were a child, you shouldn't take other people's money easily, do you know? The person who can take out so much money at once must be of extraordinary status. If he is of noble status, why did he come to our back mountain, and what did he do in the back mountain? He not only helped you get the wild boar back, but also saved your life. Moreover, he paid so much money as rent and food. Why do you think he is so unreliable? Could he be a bandit? What is he doing in our Linjia Village? No, no, we have to send him away quickly. It is unreasonable to let an unidentified man stay in our house, and he gave us so many silver notes for no reason. Grandma always feels that there is fraud. Quick, send the silver notes back to him. We don't want to be greedy for this advantage. What if we are greedy and we die? No, no, grandma has to let him leave. We can't take this money..."

Before Ting He knew how to explain, Old Lady Lin came to the shabby house with 10,000 taels of silver and said to Nan Tang Qing in a haughty manner:

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to keep you, but my farm can't take good care of you. You saved my granddaughter, but why do you have to give me so much money? Take the banknotes back. If you get better, I think it's not convenient to see a doctor in this poor and remote place. Why don't you take the banknotes back and find a prosperous place to recuperate and leave here? This poor and remote place is really not suitable for you to recuperate."

When Old Lady Lin said that he was Tinghe's savior, Nan Tangqing glanced at the guilty Tinghe with amusement, a hint of pleasure in his eyes.
