Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

She took out the purse from under her pillow, took out the two hundred taels of silver inside and took a look at it.

He frowned, but I don't know what he was thinking about.

Then, he immediately stuffed it back.

Early the next morning, Xu Yiyi set up the stall as usual. In addition to fried oysters, there were many other foods, including various pancakes made with batter, filled with various seafood, and small fried buns.

Xu Yiyi stood aside slowly wrapping bite-sized pieces, each containing fifteen, just enough to fill you up.

The lady who originally sold fried oysters couldn't remember when it started, but people often came to her stall to eat.

She was dressed much more luxuriously than before, perhaps because she was no longer selling things at the stall. She looked much better and radiant than before.

Because she is impatient to pay and doesn't like to carry money.

Her son Gao Changyu even came over specially to give her some money, and later asked her to keep an account and settle it every two weeks.

Xu Yiyi got in touch with Gao Changyu because of this matter, and learned from him that Xie Yushu had no hope of passing the imperial examination and had given up on himself.

I saw him running around in the gambling house several times.

Xu Yiyi had no interest in listening to this, but she was not surprised that Xie Yushu had reached this situation today.

He is said to be a scholar, but he doesn't look like a scholar at all.

His eyes were wandering, his mind was not on the book at all, he looked wretched, with a slightly hunched body, and looked like a gangster.

Only someone like Zhan Jilan could be so blind as to see it.

"I think your oyster omelet isn't very good. It's a good thing I stopped making it, otherwise you wouldn't be doing as much business as you are now."

The old lady put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth.

There was no sign that she was obsessed with food just now. Xu Yiyi smiled and agreed.

After hearing the satisfactory reply, the old lady strolled back slowly.

When passing by He Chunsheng's stall, they would hum and roll their eyes before leaving.

Without the relationship with the old lady, He Chunsheng, the old scoundrel, could no longer live his previous carefree life, so he came back to set up a stall.

Xu Yiyi was wondering before, why would this old lady, who seemed to be completely devoted to old man He Chunsheng, be willing to separate?

Later, I heard the diners gossiping and found out that while He Chunsheng was hanging out with the old lady, he was also having an affair with a widow in the back streets.

At first, the old lady didn't believe what her son said, but she caught him red-handed.

From then on, he lost all interest in He Chunsheng.

After the batter was used up and the buns were fried, Xu Yiyi immediately started to pack up the things on the stall.

She asked Xu Anyang to take the children home, and she boarded Qingshan's merchant ship to the provincial capital.

She kept thinking about Xu Yinli's affairs and felt very uncomfortable.

On the second floor, Xu Yiyi sat in front of the window and watched the seagulls playing in the water in the distance.

After arriving at the provincial capital, he disembarked, had his household registration checked by officers and soldiers, and then went ashore.

When they arrived at Zhechou Mansion, Xu Yiyi was taken in by Lin Ke's attendant before he had time to say anything.

"The master ordered you to come here early in the morning. If you come, there is no need to inform us. We can bring you in directly."

Xu Yiyi lowered her brows and thought for a moment. It turned out that he had known that she would come over because of Xu Yinli's matter.

……

"Don't ask, I can't tell you even if you ask me."

Xu Yiyi stood there quietly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and suddenly felt speechless.

"Then what can you say? Could it be that you planned his death?"

Lin Ke nodded imperceptibly.

"It's a military secret, so I can't tell you much about it, but you can rest assured that he's not dead."

Last night, Xu Yinli arrived at the provincial capital overnight, stayed there for less than a quarter of an hour, and then left.

The two of them talked for a long time in the study, and Xu Yinli also learned about some of the things that happened at home after he faked his death.

If he hadn't stopped him, he might have run back to town to deal with Zhan Jilan before giving up.

"This is what your father gave you. Don't you want a big boat? Take this money and go back and book the boat you want."

Xu Yinli felt guilty. If it weren't for the military order, he would also like to see the children.

"Is he a thief? How can he come up with so much money in one go?"

Xu Yiyi glanced at it and was unwilling to answer it.

Lin Ke threw the purse directly into her arms.

This money was borrowed by Xu Yinli by forcing Lin Ke to pay after he heard that his eldest daughter wanted a houseboat.

"Take it. This is his compensation to you. Since he can't be with you forever, this money is a consolation to you."

Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. You have to know that Lin Ke’s monthly salary is only thirty-five taels of silver.

The reason he could come up with so much money was purely because he had a wealthy family.

"Compensation? Zhan Jilan sold all the houses as soon as he died, and Wu Yuan had already contacted the seller. If I hadn't returned in time, this family would have broken up long ago. Is this what he can compensate me for?"

Xu Yiyi recalled the scene when she first arrived and lay on the beach. She thought that the original owner must have been gone by then.

If she hadn't come here by accident, what would have become of these children?

She couldn't imagine it.

Lin Ke watched as Xu Yiyi became emotional for a moment, then quickly calmed down.

"Write a letter to Fang Zhiyi. I want to buy grain in large quantities."

Xu Yiyi ignored Lin Ke's doubts and took the purse.

Although he was dissatisfied with Xu Yinli, he still had to accept the money.

"Why did you buy so much food?"

Lin Ke asked this question, but his hands did not stop moving.

Xu Yiyi didn't explain to her, just took the letter and left.

Later, Lin Ke suddenly remembered something, "The pearl-diving land where we participated in the pearl-diving competition was reported by the pearl girl. Don't go there directly so recklessly, or it will easily cause a dispute later.

Also, pearls aren't very valuable right now, and the old lady has recently become fascinated by ivory Buddhist beads, so pearls can't be sold at a high price."

The high price of pearls in the past was due to the fact that the highly respected concubine in the palace was obsessed with Buddhist beads made of pearls.

As soon as the news got out, the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City naturally took action.

Pearls have become a hot commodity in the market.

The price soared and sold at a staggeringly high price.

Nowadays, toffees are not as fond of pearls as before, so the price of pearls has naturally dropped.

Xu Yiyi came out of Zhechou Mansion, walked along the coast, and came to Qingshan's trading company.

"Uncle Qingshan lent me a small boat so I can go out to sea."

There are many merchant ships here, and there may be many shipwrecks in the nearby waters.

Xu Yiyi found some valuable things in the shipwreck she had encountered before, enough to feed the whole family for a year.

She just wanted to try her luck now.

"You can't sit still either. If I were you, I'd probably make a couple of fashionable clothes and buy some jewelry if I had the time. You're always wearing shabby clothes, you don't look like a young girl at all."

Qingshan kept chattering and took Xu Yiyi out to get a small boat that was 70% new.
