Chapter 43 Money moves people’s hearts

Li Erya smiled. She was not stingy. After all, it was worthwhile to invest in the future champion, but the money had to be used for other purposes, so she handed over two taels of silver and went out.

She still had to buy some things with the remaining money, but if she didn't give it to her, Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingrou wouldn't say anything, so Li Erya still explained.

"Just keep the money you earn. The family doesn't need your money." Mrs. Shen probably understood what she was doing and said nonchalantly, "As long as you have the heart."

"Studying costs money, I will work hard to make money." Li Erya nodded, turned around and went to weed the vegetable garden.

When the sun went down, Su Yue came back from collecting herbs. He greeted them outside the door and went back.

Soon after, Sun Ji also came back. Two large pots of jelly were sold for 268 cash. He wanted to give some to Li Erya, but Li Erya asked him to pay off the debt first.

"How could this happen?" Sun Ji looked at Mrs. Shen with some embarrassment.

"Just take it if I tell you to." Mrs. Shen knew his difficulty, so naturally she wouldn't argue with him.

"Come early tomorrow and I'll make more for you. You can go to the city and sell it, sell it to a restaurant, or sell it yourself." After Li Erya said that, he drove the person away.

Seeing that the sun was about to go down, Sun Ji had to go home first with so much money in his pocket.

Less than half of the load of fairy grass he brought was used because there was not enough alkaline water. The remaining ones can be used to make jelly tomorrow because the alkaline water pipe is enough.

Because making alkaline water occupied a tank, Shen Qingrou felt a little sour when she saw her busy and asked her why she was so nice to Sun Ji.

"Okay? It's just a piece of cake. He has fairy grass, and I just know how to make jelly." Li Erya carefully covered the linen cloth and answered her question seriously.

"By the way, how do you know how to make jelly?"

"I heard what others said."

"..."

Because the jelly sold well, Sun Ji collected three taels of silver in less than a month and stopped selling the jelly. He specially came to ask Shen Nanzhou to be a witness. He wanted to pay off the money he owed Li Laosan.

Shen Nanzhou was not good at refusing and had no reason to refuse, so he agreed to his request.

However, Shen Muyin was a little worried about his father confronting that scoundrel Li Laosan, so he asked them to wait while he went to the study to make some preparations, and then followed them to Qingshui Village.

Sun Ji originally planned to go directly to Li Laosan, but both Shen Nanzhou and Shen Muyin felt that it would be most appropriate to go to Li Zheng first and let him administer justice.

Li Laosan was still dreaming about getting both people and money, but he didn't expect Sun Ji to collect three taels of silver in less than a month. He didn't believe anything he said and insisted on getting the money first.

"Look if you don't believe me." Sun Ji took out his bulging money bag and opened it for him to see, "Three taels of silver, one tael is a lot, they can testify."

"If you want to get money, take out the IOU first." Shen Muyin blocked Li Laosan's extended hand.

"The IOU is gone." Li Laosan rolled his eyes and said, "Give me the money. If you dare not give it a try, I will sue you."

"Why do you sue him if he doesn't have an IOU?" Shen Nanzhou smiled.

Li Laosan wanted to be a rogue and forced Sun Ji to pay back the money but refused to take out the IOU.

Shen Nanzhou was shocked by his rogue appearance. No wonder Sun Ji wanted to ask him to testify. If he came alone, he might get into trouble.

Shen Muyin didn't want to argue with him. He wanted money, but he had to sign the receipt and promise not to trouble Sun Ji again in the future. Otherwise, it was Sun Ji who would sue him.

Li Laosan looked at the money in Sun Ji's hand, which was three taels of silver. He would be lying if he said he was not moved. Compared with the three taels of silver, an innocent woman seemed insignificant. He couldn't wait to get the money immediately.

Seeing that the Shen family's father and son had blocked all the loopholes for him, he had no choice but to go home reluctantly and take out the IOU. Shen Muyin still insisted on asking him to sign and pledge on the receipt before he would give the money.

Li Zheng also knew Li Laosan's character, so he had to urge him to sign and seal the matter quickly.

Li Laosan had no choice but to sign and post.

Sun Ji then gave him the money, tore up the IOU in front of Li Zheng and Shen Nanzhou, and kept the receipt.

Having solved a problem on his mind, Sun Ji was extremely grateful to the Shen family and his son.

If Li Erya hadn't taught him how to make jelly, he wouldn't have earned three taels of silver in such a short period of time. Naturally, he would be grateful that he didn't have to go to the step of selling himself.

"Ahem." Shen Muyin interrupted him. They were still in Qingshui Village, and there were people following them. They didn't know how much the other party heard.

Sun Ji was at a loss for a moment. He looked back and saw only a sneaky figure. He couldn't help scratching his head in annoyance. He was so happy that he regretted it now. He didn't know if it would cause trouble to his benefactor. " What are they trying to do?"

"Money makes people's hearts move. Naturally, they want to know where your money comes from. You can't hide it. Even if you don't tell it, the kids in the school will see it." Shen Nanzhou sighed.

"Then, what should we do?" Sun Ji was anxious.

"You've almost made enough money. I wonder if you can give up the recipe for making jelly?" Shen Nanzhou thought for a moment. This matter will definitely involve Li Erya. Her identity is embarrassing. Li Zheng It's not easy to explain there.

"As long as I don't embarrass you, it doesn't matter to me. Being able to repay the debt is beyond my imagination." Sun Ji lowered his head and made his choice in a moment.

Li Erya originally taught him the recipe, and he had no reason to dominate. In fact, when selling jelly in the city, there were wine shops who wanted to make jelly recipes, but he rejected them all.

Because of this, he also offended the young master of Jixianglou. When Sun Ji thought of this, he told Shen Nanzhou and the others, "Actually, I also know that the recipe for making jelly can't be hidden for long."

Shen Muyin's heart skipped a beat. The owner of Jixiang Tower and Magistrate Sun were brothers-in-law. In her previous life, her sister married into the Hu family, but unfortunately she married an unlucky man.

Magistrate Sun can be said to be a good official, but he usually turns a blind eye to some matters involving his brothers-in-law. The Hu family relies on Magistrate Sun's relationship to act in a high-profile and arrogant manner in Taichuan County.

Sun Ji might be in trouble if he offends Hu Shaojing.

But Shen Muyin still told him not to worry. They would go back and discuss it, and they would definitely find a way to deal with the people who caused trouble for them.

Sun Ji went back with great gratitude.

Shen Nanzhou and Shen Muyin discussed it and had an idea in mind, so they went back to convince Li Erya.

I thought it would take a lot of effort to convince her to make the recipe public, but she agreed without saying a word.

Seeing that they were dumbfounded, Li Erya expressed her thoughts. First, there was no trace of fairy grass around Qingshui Village. They wanted to sell jelly and needed raw materials. Second, they didn't ask her. explain.

Besides, Sun Ji needed money urgently, so she gave him a head start.
