Pick up a princess to be your wife

"What?"

He Xianzhi was completely confused, but he quickly understood what Li Mu meant.

Even the most skilled person can end up with nothing after gambling on stones.

Perhaps Li Mu had tasted success today and wanted to make a fortune through gambling on stones.

In this chaotic world, a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver won't last long.

Perhaps he'll come back someday after he's had a bad experience gambling on stones.

“If you change your mind someday, come find me anytime,” He Xianzhi said.

"Oh, by the way, if Miss He has any antiques for sale, feel free to sell them to me. However, I don't have any money, so I can only exchange them for rice," Li Mu said.

"You also collect antiques?" He Xianzhi was a little surprised. Judging from Li Mu's attire and demeanor, he didn't seem like someone with the capital to do antique business.

"Take it if you can," Li Mu said.

"it is good."

He Xianzhi ordered his men to take away the glass, and Li Mu finally received a pair of earrings after waiting for a whole day.

The workmanship is impeccable, extremely fine, comparable to the Yiwu small commodities of later generations.

Li Mu exchanged the silver for banknotes with He Xianzhi and then went home.

Yesterday, Li Ertie made a large batch of couches according to the blueprints given by Li Mu.

Today, after receiving the cushions from Li Mu, I began selling them.

In the afternoon, Li Ertie's men found him cheering and excitedly said, "Boss, boss, we sold it all! We made seven days' worth of money in just one day! And we even received several hundred deposits!"

Li Ertie didn't actually have high expectations for this deal; he would be content if it could increase his profits a bit.

But the profits for that day increased sevenfold!

The idea that kid gave him actually worked!

Li Mu was on his way home when a carriage blocked his path.

"Brother!"

Li Ertie jumped down and tried to pull Li Mu onto the carriage.

"Come on, come on, I've made a lot of money today, let's go for a drink! We can also talk about our future cooperation." Li Ertie said excitedly.

"No need for alcohol, I'm going home for dinner tonight, my family is waiting for me," Li Mu said.

"Don't be like that! Home is nowhere near as good as outside. I'll invite you to a brothel for drinks and pleasure!" Li Ertie said.

"No, no, brother, I appreciate your kindness. But why not use the money you'd spend on drinks tonight to do me a favor?" Li Mu said.

Li Ertie then remembered that Li Mu needed his help.

“I almost forgot about that. Brother, just tell me what you need to do. As long as it's not murder or arson, I'll do anything,” Li Ertie said.

Now that Li Mu has the goods he wants, he's practically his God of Wealth.

He may be arrogant, but he is not a despicable person who is ungrateful.

“Li Tian is my elder brother, do you know him?” Li Mu asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Ertie was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Oh! So Li Tian is your brother. I knew you looked familiar," Li Ertie said, slapping his thigh.

"I heard you withheld a lot of my sister-in-law's salary. I'd like to ask you to return her money and give her a raise. That way, we can work together more smoothly in the future," Li Mu said with a faint smile.

“I was a bit annoyed yesterday and fired Wang Xiulian. How about I bring her back and make her a foreman with double the salary?” Li Ertie suggested.

"no problem."

"Then I'll go to your house with you."

"No, don't let my brother and sister-in-law know that I know you."

This puzzled Li Ertie.

"Why?"

"I wanted to help my brother and sister-in-law, and I didn't want them to feel indebted to me," Li Mu explained.

"Just because you're so loyal, I've decided to be your friend. You go ahead, I'll come to your house later."

"Thank you for your help, Brother Er Tie."

"Haha, no problem."

……

When Li Mu returned home, Wang Xiulian immediately gave him a harsh look.

Li Mu now realizes that his sister-in-law is actually quite strong.

She didn't even mention that she had been fired by Li Ertie.

This woman, who is sharp-tongued and only thinks of herself, actually has a strong side that is unknown to others. Her older brother is indeed insightful.

There was no more white rice porridge on the table; it was all millet porridge, plus a plate of wild vegetables.

Just then, the fat man swaggered in.

"Have you raised the money yet?" the fat man asked with a squinting smile as he entered the room.

"Boss, didn't you say three days? This is only the first day," Li Tian said with a troubled expression.

"I was just passing by and thought I'd ask. If you can't come up with the money today, I won't make things difficult for you..."

As the fat man was speaking, a silver note was suddenly handed to him.

Upon seeing this, Li Tian and his wife immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

A silver note worth one thousand taels!

Li Mu actually managed to scrape together the money in just one day?

The fat man never expected that the impoverished Li family would pay him compensation.

Upon seeing the silver notes, the fat man's smile widened.

He took the banknote, examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was genuine, he put it into his sleeve.

That's a thousand taels! How did he get it?

"Our debts are now settled," Li Mu said calmly.

The fat man's eyes darted around, and he said with a friendly expression, "The debt is paid off, but the interest isn't."

"What interest rate?" Li Mu asked.

"You owe me a thousand taels of silver, and you'll have to pay at least five hundred taels in interest every day," the fat man laughed.

"No, boss, you can't be this unreasonable! How can you raise interest by 500 yuan a day?" Li Mu immediately became anxious.

"It's my debt, and I decide what I'm doing. If I say five hundred taels of interest, then it's five hundred taels of interest. What, you have a problem with that? If not, just kidnap these two young ladies and sell them to pay off the interest," the fat man said with a sinister smile.

This fatso's facial expressions kept changing, making Li Mu want to tear his face to shreds.

His greedy and demanding attitude was as ugly as could be.

In his previous life, Li Mu was treated like an ATM by his relatives and friends.

In this life, he was once again treated like an ATM by the landlord.

Li Tian looked troubled and glanced at Wang Xiulian. Wang Xiulian was also at a loss, after all, this fat man was targeting her.

"Alright, I'll give you five hundred taels of interest as a final payment, and we'll be even from now on," Li Mu said with a sigh.

"Okay, you have two more days."

After finishing his sentence, the fat man swaggered away.

Earning a thousand taels of silver feels so good.

"This is outrageous!" Li Tian exclaimed angrily.

"Why didn't you dare to scold them when they were here? Now that they're gone, who are you showing off to?" Wang Xiulian scolded.

"Sigh!" Li Tian sighed heavily before coming back to his senses.

"Erlang, where did you get a thousand taels in just one day?" Li Tian asked.

Clearly, he was somewhat worried.

No one gets rich without windfall gains. Li Mu probably didn't get so much money in such a short time by taking the wrong path.

Li Mu smiled slightly, took out a small brocade box, and pushed it towards Wang Xiulian.

"Sister-in-law, this is for you."
