Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Just when everyone was shaking their heads and sighing with regret, an even more annoying voice rang out unwillingly.

"Wait a minute, Zhao Cuihua can't leave. If she does, she has to compensate me. I worked so hard to build the workshop, but ended up with nothing. Zhao Cuihua must compensate me, otherwise no one can leave. The worst that can happen is that both of us will perish."

The voice came from the shopkeeper Ren of Baililou. Everyone was angry and amused at the same time. Before anyone could cause trouble for him, he jumped up on his own, and the owner of the Xiao family hadn't said anything yet.

Just kidding, Manager Ren didn’t mention the one hundred taels given to Zhao Cuihua, he invested three hundred taels of silver in the workshop alone.

Zhao Cuihua told him about the tools made by Xiao Wan, but only gave a general idea and no pictures.

This was because Xiao Wan asked Xiao Tiequan to keep the tool drawings secret for her. In order to ensure accuracy, Xiao Tiequan memorized the contents of the drawings and burned them.

Zhao Cuihua was very angry at that time. Without the drawings, the money given to her by Manager Ren was less.

So she told Manager Ren only the general appearance of the tools made by Xiao Tiequan.

Poor Xiao Tiequan thought that Zhao Cuihua missed him during that time, so she came to the blacksmith shop frequently, which touched him.

Unexpectedly, this courtesy was not for him!

When Zhao Cuihua heard the voice of Manager Ren, she remembered this matter. However, Yao Linlin had already been killed by the village head for the sake of justice. What should she do?

How could she afford the compensation? Even if she could, would Xiao Tiequan still want her?

Can she still get away with it?

Zhao Cuihua fell into despair again, and she felt a little numb.

After hearing this, Xiao Tiequan shot a cold look at Manager Ren, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze people.

Shopkeeper Ren was so frightened that he took a step back, his eyes panicking as he pretended to be tough and said, "You must return it!"

This shopkeeper Ren is new. He is not like the previous shopkeeper Zhou, who has his master to protect him. If something happens to him, according to Baililou's style, they will definitely draw a clear line with him.

In order to please his master, he invested most of his fortune. His family was not very wealthy, so Zhao Cuihua must return the money to him!

Xiao Tiequan stared at him gravely, his face expressionless as he said, "All my wealth is three hundred taels, all of it is given to you. If you don't want to, you can report it to the authorities. I don't mind. It's up to you whether you want to or not."

After listening to this, Manager Ren weighed it over and over again in his mind and hesitated for a long time.

The money was about right, but only one hundred taels were given to Zhao Cuihua, and it was just wasted.

But if you don’t want it, you won’t be able to escape if you really go to see the official.

The Xiao family is watching us closely.

He thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take the money."

After hearing this, Zhao Cuihua collapsed to the ground, realizing that she had finally escaped.

Xiao Tiequan went home to get money.

As for the head of Yao Linlin's village, he also rushed over. He was a plump old man with a kind face. He had always had a good relationship with Zhao Lizheng.

As soon as he arrived, he bowed to Zhao Lizheng and asked what exactly had happened. He had heard about it from others on the way here, but not in such detail.

Zhao Lizheng also bowed in return, "Brother, you know the general situation now. This Yao from your village colluded with outsiders to steal the secrets of our village workshop and was discovered. She is related to my daughter-in-law and is also related to me. You should take her back and don't let her set foot in our village again."

This was something Xiao Wan had discussed with him before, and it was also a way of giving face to the family. Otherwise, he would definitely have to face the authorities.

The old man who had just finished listening also blushed with embarrassment.

He used to envy the better lives of the people in Dahuaishu Village, but he never thought of stealing the secrets of their workshops.

He had originally thought of bringing some things to Zhao Lizheng and asking him if he could help his village grow potatoes together, but he didn't expect to be humiliated by his own villagers.

Oh, how can he speak now?

The villagers knew his plan and were looking forward to it.

Thinking of this, he became furious and looked at Yao Linlin angrily.

Yao Linlin trembled when the village head looked at her.

She bowed and apologized to Zhao Lizheng, then took Yao Linlin back. It was up to her, the Yao family, to bear the anger of the villagers.

Yao was horrified when she saw her sister being taken away. She was afraid that she would not be able to return to her parents' home in the future!

After Xiao Tiequan took the money back, Zhao Lizheng asked Manager Ren to write a receipt and sign it with his fingerprint before asking Xiao Tiequan to give it to him.

Xiao Tiequan smiled gratefully at Zhao Lizheng, then changed his expression and handed the money to Manager Ren.

Shopkeeper Ren took the money, glanced at Zhao Cuihua, and said "Pooh" harshly. He then looked at Xiao Tiequan with sympathy and said to him, "Brother, you are a man, but you have to deal with such a vicious woman. It's really wronged you."

Xiao Tiequan gave him a cold look, and Shopkeeper Ren didn't dare to say anything.

He took the money and left anyway. As for the Xiao family, that was a secret leaked to him by Zhao Cuihua. They still had to settle the score with Zhao Cuihua, and it had nothing to do with him.

After figuring this out, Shopkeeper Ren took the money and prepared to leave.
