My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.
Chapter 23 Nobody will turn down money.
Baima Town.
As Lin Mo alighted from the carriage, she saw Madam Han, pale-faced, carefully stepping down from the carriage, her hand supporting her severed arm.
A wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips.
She managed to persuade Lao Wei to agree to let her see a doctor, so she must have paid for it.
The town probably isn't very big.
Lin Mo smiled with ill intent.
Lin Mo, whose attention was entirely focused on Madam Han, did not notice that Xu Wuyan was sizing her up.
Is she looking at her aunt?
Xu Wuyan walked up behind her and lowered his voice:
"Want revenge?"
Lin Mo's body tensed instinctively, then she looked away, giving Xu Wuyan an innocent look:
"What revenge?"
They were relatives, family members who had lived together for twenty-two years. Lin Mo didn't know if he would stand on her side.
Therefore, she wouldn't let him easily know her thoughts.
Xu Wuyan glanced at her, then turned his head to look elsewhere. He knew she was still wary of him, so he didn't press the matter.
At this moment, Lao Wei spoke up.
This time he didn't waste any time. After telling them the meeting place and time, he let them go and buy things on their own.
Of course, before disbanding, Lao Wei emphasized once again the consequences of running away.
Upon hearing that they could disband, everyone scattered in a panic.
They all rushed to the town, and clothing stores and grain stores became the main places they visited.
On the way here, Lin Mo and Xu Wuyan had already decided to split up.
He was responsible for buying the pot and other miscellaneous items.
Lin Mo was responsible for going to the grain store to buy grain, and then waiting at the door for Xu Wuyan to come and meet her.
After watching Xu Wuyan drive away in his carriage, Lin Mo went to the steamed bun shop.
With the weather so cold, steamed buns and mantou (steamed bread) keep well.
With a wave of her hand, she wrapped it up.
Just after she paid, two other families came to ask about the steamed buns.
Upon hearing that Lin Mo had sold out, the two looked regretful.
The steamed bun shop owner was a shrewd businessman. As soon as he saw an order, he said he would start making steamed buns immediately and asked them to come back in half an hour.
The two families agreed and then hurriedly went to buy other things.
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Boss, you're a savvy businesswoman."
The steamed bun shop owner grinned, "There's nothing I can do, business is tough."
"Business is a rare opportunity; who wants to let it slip by?"
Then, seeing that Lin Mo was alone with two large bags of steamed buns, he asked if she needed help and offered to deliver them to where she was going.
Lin Mo shook her head, picked up a bag in each hand, and left.
The boss was speechless.
This girl is not very old or very tall, but I didn't expect her to be so strong.
Thinking about the business deal that was about to take place, he turned around and shouted into the house:
"Wife, father, mother, come out and help! We've got a big business opportunity!"
……
When Lin Mo arrived at the grain store, everyone was scrambling to grab the grain.
The Han and Shen families fought the fiercest, and almost came to blows.
Lin Mo immediately lost interest and simply didn't go in, choosing instead to stand in a corner outside the grain store.
At this moment, Han Yushu, along with the shop assistants from the grain store, was carrying bags of rice onto a horse-drawn cart.
He sneered when he saw Lin Mo standing in the corner:
"Sorry you're late, I've already bought all the rice here."
As he spoke, he patted the rice bag with a smug look on his face:
"If you kneel down and beg me, maybe I'll be in a good mood and give you a bag."
Lin Mo glanced at the five or six bags of rice piled on his carriage and grinned:
"no need."
A dark glint flashed in her eyes.
Five or six bags of rice filled half a carriage, which meant that half of the people who had been riding in the carriage had to get off and walk.
Who's leaving?
Who's sitting?
It seems the Han family is about to start a fight.
All she had to do was watch the show.
Han Yushu sneered, "What, you really think I'd give it to you? Dream on."
After saying that, he drove the carriage away.
If he hadn't been short on time and had so many other things to buy, he would have stayed and thoroughly mocked the woman.
Lin Mo glanced at the departing carriage and shook her head. Some people just love to be self-righteous.
Han Qingyun also came out, but he only managed to grab two bags of brown rice.
He glanced at Lin Mo with an arrogant expression, then drove off in his carriage.
Meanwhile, others carried out some grain and headed to other places.
The last one to appear was Elder Mu.
Old Mu managed to snag a bag of flour.
Lin Mo told him to leave the flour with her, and then she would go buy other things.
If he's carrying flour, he won't have a chance to buy anything else.
While she waits for Xu Wuyan, she can keep an eye on things for him and put them directly onto the carriage later.
After putting down the flour, Old Mu left, expressing his deepest gratitude.
Lin Mo moved Old Mu's flour to a different position, and when no one was paying attention, she secretly took out a bag of rice from her spatial storage and mixed it with the flour.
Very good, we've had enough food.
And wine...
Lin Mo thought for a moment, then took out several wine sachets from her spatial storage, which were filled with fine wine.
This is not enough.
Then he took out another jar of wine and placed it on the ground to the side.
Looking at this pile of things, Lin Mo was satisfied.
I chose to wait in this corner just now so that I could sneak something out when no one was looking.
It's a blind spot, after all; you wouldn't know how much stuff is stored there unless you get close.
Moreover, this is a corner, sheltered from the wind.
She stood there, sheltered from the wind, so it wasn't so cold.
Oh, right, meat.
Lin Mo thought for a moment, then took out a bag of dried meat from her spatial storage and put it in the same bag.
A sturdy piece of fabric and a pile of cotton were also taken out.
Looking at the supplies that had suddenly turned into a small mountain, Lin Mo felt a little guilty.
After looking around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there weren't many people around on such a snowy day.
Otherwise, her behavior of constantly taking things out would have been exposed.
At this moment, Lin Mo dared not take anything out anymore.
She squatted obediently, waiting for Xu Wuyan to arrive.
Bored, Lin Mo looked around at everything in the small town.
But soon, her eyes narrowed dangerously.
Across the street, several men who looked like thugs were menacingly approaching her, brandishing wooden sticks.
Lin Mo slowly straightened up.
These people are probably after her.
The leader was none other than Lai San, the local tyrant of Baima Town.
Lai San stopped, sized her up, and raised the wooden stick in his hand:
"I'm asking you, are you Lin Mo?"
Lin Mo didn't answer his question, but looked at him instead:
"Who asked you to come?"
"Who you are doesn't matter, what matters is that you're Lin Mo." Lai San raised an eyebrow.
"Brothers, it looks like we can make a good five taels of silver today."
Let's get started, and then we'll go eat and drink our fill!
After saying that, he shouted to his brothers to get to work.
but……
Seeing the silver Lin Mo took out, Lai San, who was about to make a move, stopped and raised an eyebrow:
"What do you mean?"
"Double the amount. Break the leg of the person who sent you here, and the silver is yours." Lin Mo said calmly.
Anything that money can solve isn't a problem.
After all, she had emptied the entire palace; she had plenty of silver.
"Ten taels..."
"Then twenty taels." Lin Mo took out another silver ingot.
He then shook his head, "As a person, don't be too greedy, otherwise..."
Lin Mo moved swiftly and snatched the wooden stick from Lai San's hand.
Then he slammed his fist against the wall next to him.
Click!
The wooden stick broke in two.
Lin Mo threw the remaining half of the wooden stick on the ground. "Do you understand?"
With a single blow, Lai San broke a wooden stick thicker than a baby's arm, and he knew that the woman in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.
He reached into her hand, took the silver from her palm, weighed it in his hand, and a smile crept onto his lips.
"No one would turn down money."
After saying that, he turned and left with his men.
"Brothers, let's go, we've changed jobs again."
Lin Mo watched the thugs leave with a cold expression, but the chill in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Come and go without indecent!
In a moment, we'll see who's unlucky.
Just then, a carriage stopped beside her.
It is Xu Wuyan.
Xu Wuyan jumped down from the carriage and glanced behind her:
"Have you bought everything?"
Lin Mo nodded, "Except for one bag of flour which belonged to Grandpa Mu, I bought the rest."
After saying that, he started moving the things onto the carriage.
Lin Mo didn't say anything when she saw the pot and seasonings on the carriage.
After the two of them worked together to load everything onto the carriage, Xu Wuyan told her to get on the carriage and that they would meet at the town entrance.
Lin Mo shook her head:
"You go ahead, I still have things to buy."
"Is there anything else you want to buy? I'll go with you," Xu Wuyan said.
"I'm going to buy menstrual belts, are you sure you want to come with me?" Lin Mo looked up, a hint of mockery flashing across her eyes.
Xu Wuyan blushed and coughed lightly:
"Then be careful, and come meet me at the town entrance as soon as you buy it."
Lin Mo nodded and watched him leave before her face fell. She then walked forward.
She's going to see who it is!
