Chapter 98 That Kind of Place
"Okay, okay, write them all. Then you have to practice your handwriting and write the letter beautifully." Liu Mingxuan said with a smile.
The brother and sister nodded heavily and said they would definitely write it well.
Liu Lin, who is being targeted, is now facing pursuit.
Their group sold too much goods at one time, and was targeted by a local gang, who disguised themselves as bandits to rob and kill them.
Liu Lin, who had been protected by Ding Si, was pushed away by those people. No one could defeat him with his mediocre kung fu, so he could only run around like a headless fly.
Three ferocious-looking men behind him were chasing him with big knives and slashing at him, cutting his sleeves.
He now regrets very much why he followed Long Qi out.
Liu Lin was extremely tired, but she didn't dare to stop. As she was running, she accidentally touched the two small purses in her bag.
This was put in there by his little daughter before he left, saying it was a "secret weapon". He didn't take it seriously. Children are always innocent and their words should not be taken seriously.
Now he really hopes that this is really a secret weapon.
I took out a small purse, opened it, and saw that it was full of chili powder!
In just a moment, he understood the use of this thing. Without caring about anything else, he grabbed a handful and turned around to throw it back.
The three gangsters were chasing him closely, but he suddenly did this. The chili powder was thrown at them and fell into their eyes. It hurt so much that they couldn't open their eyes. They were still crying and could only raise their sleeves to wipe their eyes.
Liu Lin took advantage of this opportunity, kicked a gangster to the ground, snatched the sword from his hand and chopped at him, killing one of them.
Ding Si rushed over at this time, quickly killed the other two, dragged Liu Lin, found a car for him to hide under and pretend to be dead.
Lying under the car, Liu Lin couldn't help but kiss the little purse and said thank you to his precious daughter in his heart.
If it weren't for this chili powder, he might have died here today.
At the end of the battle, no one on Long Qi's team died, and only five people were slightly injured.
Liu Lin crawled out from under the ox cart and whispered something to Long Qi, who nodded continuously.
His plan was very simple. He asked Long Qi to pass a message to other teams, telling them that if these bandits dared to do something stupid on the first day, they should not blame them for it. He would contact them and find a way to break into that gang and rob them.
After listening to his plan, Long Qi sighed in his heart: It turns out that scholars have dirty hearts!
But he very much agreed with this plan. How could selling things make money faster than robbing those bad guys?
……
……
At the end of the month, people who went out to sell goods began to send money back. At this time, Pan Yingying and her group were in Lingyun County.
Although Lingyun County is not as prosperous as Huaian, it is also a wealthy place. They booked two inns not far away.
The main reason is that the inn in Lingyun County is not as big as the one in Huai'an. It only has two floors, and one inn cannot accommodate everyone, so they have to stay in two places.
The money for renting the inn was funded by Yu Chaosheng. Everyone bought goods from Pan Yingying and made a lot of money. He didn't feel bad at all to give the money to renting the inn. After all, he was a generous wholesaler.
They just need to solve the problem of eating by themselves, just like when they were in Huaian County.
After settling down in the inn, everyone washed up and went out to the street carrying their belongings.
Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng had just finished taking a hot bath when they heard Honglian come to tell them that the team that went out to sell goods had returned.
A total of seven teams returned this time, each team sent five people, and each person carried a box.
The box was full of golden ingots, showing that everyone had a good harvest.
Yu Chaosheng recorded the accounts, and Pan Yingying took out the silver notes and gave each person 500 taels of silver, asking them to take them back to the team for living expenses. She also gave another taels of silver to each person, asking them not to lose money on the road. When the people left to rest, looking at the boxes of gold ingots in the room, Pan Yingying smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
It seems that the decision to drive people out to earn money was not wrong, otherwise how could so much gold be brought back.
After taking the gold back into the space and feeding Batian, the two ignored Batian's protests and quickly closed the door and left.
After receiving so much money in return, I have to go out and spend it well.
……
……
Qi Fang was carrying a backpack, walking with Xiao Wang and several other women. Half of their backpacks were filled with cosmetics, half were mirrors, and there were also some new styles of silk flowers.
Cosmetics are not cheap, and mirrors are even more expensive. A small round mirror the size of a palm costs five taels of silver.
Walking along the main street, everyone felt a little worried. This place was not as prosperous as Huai'an County, and they probably wouldn't sell very well.
After walking forward for another quarter of an hour, Qi Fang noticed a small building with carved beams and painted rafters.
The plaque reads "Yuchun Tower" and two young men with makeup on are standing at the door.
Several women also discovered this place, and when they saw Qi Fang stop, they looked over.
Qi Fang swallowed and looked at her sisters-in-law.
"I think... we can try somewhere like that..."
Liu Guihua hesitated, "This... isn't good, right? If the men at home find out..." There will be a fuss.
They are decent women, how could they enter that kind of place?
Qi Fang didn't say anything and looked at Liu Juhua. She knew that Sister Juhua was always the most active and was the one who could make decisions among the sisters-in-law today.
Liu Juhua's expression changed several times, and finally she gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and said, "Done!"
She glanced at the women present one by one, and said with a hint of warning, "Those who want to go should follow, and those who don't want to go should keep their mouths shut. If you tell anyone a word..."
In fact, she didn't know what she could do to others if they revealed the secret, but every time her mother-in-law said this, she and her sisters-in-law were inexplicably scared, so they just followed her example.
Little Wang looked around and saw that there were no villagers. She pulled Liu Juhua's sleeve and said in a low voice, "If you want to go, hurry up and don't delay any longer. Be careful not to run into the villagers."
The women became instantly nervous because of this sentence. They looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.
Qi Fang took the lead and followed Liu Juhua who had already turned and walked towards Yuchun Tower.
All the goods she brought this time are expensive, and she has to find a way to sell them. Compared with making money, rumors are nothing!
Little Wang pursed her lips, reached out to push the hair that was blown onto her face by the wind behind her ears, and followed without saying a word.
Next were Zhao Meixiang and Yang Juanzi. They often did needlework together and had a closer relationship, so it was natural that they would advance and retreat together.
Liu Guihua glanced at the other two hesitant women, gritted her teeth and followed them, but her head was almost buried in her chest, and even her neck was red.
The two women were cousins, one named Xie Qionghua and the other Zhang Laidie. They were both refugees who arrived later. Both of them had lost their husbands, so they simply lived together with their half-grown children.
"Cousin, are we going too?" Zhang Laidie spoke in a whisper as she watched the few people approaching the small building.
Xie Qionghua weighed the hand cream on her back. This thing was not cheap. If she didn't go to the building, she might not be able to sell it. She could only accept her fate and said, "Let's go too!"
