The coachman nodded his head and immediately took out a small purse bag from his sleeves, then handed it to Bai Zhi: "Miss Bai, this is money that the treasurer asked me to give you. It's a total of 5 silver coins, the treasurer said the price will be the same next delivery."

Hu Changlin's eyes widen in shock: "5 silver coins?"

The coachman opened his mouth again: "Yes, 5 silver coins, I was shocked when I first hear it too. 100 pounds of melons cost 5 silvers coins. Once I get back home, I will tell my wife to plant melons next year."

Bai Zhi readily accepted the money. Their payment was indeed much higher than the market price, but she gave four new menus to the restaurant, which was priceless.

The restaurant will earn much more than 5 silver coins with those four new menus. So this transaction is a win-win solution for both parties.

Boss

Chen boss is really interesting!

Hu Feng helped the coachman to move the melon to his carriage. And then, went up to their carriage.

Two carriages, left Huangtou Village one after another.

As soon as Bai Zhi left, Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu went to the cabin house where the mother and daughter lived. The door of the cabin house was open. A woman was crouching in front of the door was.h.i.+ng the clothes.

Mrs. Liu went close and asked: “Where is Zhao Lan?"

Zhao Sue looked up and saw two women looking at her badly. She stood up and answered: "Lan'er is not here. She went outside, why are you looking for her?"

Mrs. Liu stepped forward and walked around Zhao Sue. She looked at her from head to foot: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Zhao Sue replied: "I'm staying here in Laner's house for the time being. My daughter is sick and we don't have a place to go. Zhi'er is very kind, she let us stay here until my daughter recover."

Mrs. Liu coldly snorted: "She is kind, she has money to help irrelevant people!"

Old Lady Bai coldly glared at Zhao Sue, as if Zhao Sue ate their Bai Family's food.

“Don’t talk about this first, go and look for that dead girl first and ask for money." Old Lady Bai said and pulled Mrs. Liu towards Hu Changlin's house.

At this time, Hu Changlin was alone in their house.

"Hu Changlin, where is my family's Lan'er and Zhi'er?" Old Lady Bai said while trying to squeeze a smile on her face, in front of Hu Changlin's courtyard.

Your family

's

Lan

'er

and

Zhi'er

?

Hu Changlin almost laughed, as if it was the best joke he had heard in his entire life.

"Is there something you need? Why are you looking for them?" Hu Changlin asked.

Mrs. Liu said: "Of course, there is something we need. If not, why would we look for them early this morning?"

Hu Changlin shrugged his shoulder: "Unfortunately, Zhi'er went to the town, she will not come back any sooner. She might be here at night time."

Mrs. Liu's face drastically changed. She pushed open the gate of the courtyard and asked: "What about Zhao Lan? Is Zhao Lan there?"

Hu Changlin shook his head: “She went outside to work, I don't know when she will come back." At this time, Zhao Lan and Awu were giving breakfast to the workers in the construction site. She was busy. She doesn't have time to deal with these two evil women.

Mrs. Liu looked at the old lady and said: "Niang, what should we do?" The old lady promised to look for a doctor to cure Bai Dazhu's legs, but she couldn't bear to take out her money. She thought of Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan, but the two were not here. She doesn't know what to do. Bai Dazhu fainted twice in so much pain earlier.

Old Lady Bai was also so anxious inside her heart. After all, Bai Dazhu was her most valued son and Bai Xiaofeng's father. She doesn't want anything to happened to him, but she only has few silvers, which was reserved for Bai Xiaofeng's schooling.
