《A Path of Business: My Loyal and Lovely Husband》C27. Priceless Treasure
Advertisement
Proofread by Peter Gong
"Are you kidding? How could her family have priceless treasure? Tell me!" Tao Dafu doesn't believe that a little girl who sells meat can hide priceless treasure in her family.
"Priceless, of course! It's my family's ancestral secret recipe. It's a life-saving panacea." Jin Weiwei says, and steps into the small courtyard of Tao.
"You, who let you in?" Seeing Jin Weiwei step in, he knows that she is coming to make trouble.
"Your nephew broke my medicine can and destroyed my elixir. And I come here for compensation!"
As soon as Jin Weiwei finishes her words, Tao Xiaoqing quickly hides behind Tao Dafu. He looks pitiful and shouts loudly, "I admit that I broke your medicine can. That's right. But I have no money to pay for you."
Hearing Xiaoqing’s words, Jin Weiwei does not worry at all. She strokes her cloth corner and slowly says: "it’s good for you to admit that you smashed the can. You don't have money, but your uncle does. Since you can't afford it, let your uncle help you. "
When Tao Dafu hears that Jin Weiwei is going to ask him to pay for her medicine, his face is suddenly distorted.
And Tao Xiaoqing immediately hugs Tao Dafu's arm and begs, "Uncle, uncle, you must help me!"
"What can I do for you? You can only let me lose money!" Tao Dafu pushes Tao Xiaoqing away, points to Jin Weiwei's nose, and curses, "Stinky girl, you let me pay for it, who are you?! Get out, get out, get out! "
Then he even intends to pushes Jin Weiwei out.
However, before he touches Jin Weiwei, Little Rich stops him.
"Ouch, you stinky beggar, now you want to protect your wife. Get away!" Thinking his family are around him, Tao Dafu doesn't pay attention to Jin Weiwei and Little Rich at all.

Unfortunately, he is brave, but as weak as a mouse. He pushes Little Rich, but being bounced back by Little Rich, he steps back. Luckily, someone catches him, so he doesn't fall down.
Jin Weiwei is happy in her heart, but she still looks serious.
"Uncle Tao, I’ve told you that today I only come to discuss a solution with you. Why are you so rude?" Jin Weiwei twitches her mouth and goes on, "It is reasonable for you to pay for my medicine, just as bills need to be paid, isn’t it?”
Jin Weiwei scans the people in the yard, who came with Tao to her house this morning. Now
they gather here, preparing to make trouble for Weiwei again in the afternoon if she doesn’t let Tao Xiaoqing come back.
"My brothers and sisters, although you are all relatives and friends of Tao family, I believe you are all reasonable people. Today, please judge for us."
Jin Weiwei looks around and finds a stout man lightly nodding in the crowd. She immediately walks and bows to him: "Brother, in your opinion, Tao Xiaoqing smashed my magic medicine, should he pay for it?"
Without hesitation, the strong man nods and answers, "If you smash someone's things, of course you need to pay."
"Now, since Tao Xiaoqing has no money, should his family pay for that?"
"Of course, we should be responsible for the trouble caused by our children." The strong man with solid eyes honestly says what he thinks.
Hearing this, people around him begin to nod and agree with him.
When Tao Dafu finds his helpers turn to support Jin Weiwei, he suddenly becomes angry and shouts: "Stinky girl, you are misleading people!"
"Good, only educated people can use such words as ‘misleading people’." Jin Weiwei sneers, "I'm trying to talk with you reasonably, but you say ‘I'm bewitching people.’ In this case, I think I can only notify the police."

"Notify the police? It’s not a serious matter, is it? The matters of Xingtian villagers should be solved in Xingtian village.” The village head appears at Tao's door.
"Dear village head, why are you here?" Jin Weiwei immediately limps forward to support him.
"You are a real worry, Jin." The village head sighs and shakes his head helplessly.
He thinks he has already resolved the contradiction between the two families in the morning. Jin Weiwei has promised to let Tao Xiaoqing go back after noon. But unexpectedly, before lunch, someone came to inform him that Jin Weiwei went to Tao’s house to make trouble.
Jin Weiwei smiles playfully: "It’s not my fault. Besides, I know you are busy, and I don’t want to cause you any trouble. So, I don't intend to disturb you at all. I want to solve it by myself. However, you are so well-informed and come by yourself. "
Then she takes a look at Little Rich with her eyes full of praise. In fact, the informer was arranged ahead of time by herself with the advice of Little Rich. As soon as she went into Tao’s yard, and the informer ran to the village head's house to report with a penny as the payment.
"Of course I need to come. How could you solve the problem by yourself? Notify the police? " The village head pretends to be angry and asks.
Jin Weiwei quickly bows her head and confesses: "my dear village head, you are right. But Tao Dafu is so unreasonable. I really have no other choice. Please uphold justice between us."
Then, Jin Weiwei tells him what has happened.
"Tao Xiaoqing, what she said is true? Did you really break the jar of the elixir? " Asks the village head.
"Yes, I did..." Tao admits his mistake again.
"In that case, the problem is easy to be solved. Since Tao Xiaoqing broke the jar of miraculous medicine, then Tao’s family compensates for Jin’s family."
Jin Weiwei says with a smile: "Since dear village head said so, then I’ll only ask them to pay me money. I don't want much, just a thousand taels!"
One thousand taels!
All people are shocked. They only hear about such a huge sum of money in their dreams. It is likely that no one in Xingtian village has seen so much money.
"Stinky girl! You're demanding an exorbitant price, it’s a sky-high price! "
Tao Dafu doesn't want to pay Jin Weiwei in cash, and now considering the village head's authority, he has to obey the decision. But he can’t image that the little girl asks him to pay her so much money. She is obviously robbing him.
"A thousand taels? Is it too much? " The village head frowns.
"Well, well, Uncle Tao even knows ‘a sky-high price’, not too bad." Jin Weiwei once again says sarcastically, "But a thousand taels is not too much. Don't you know that the elixir of Jin is handed down by our ancestors. It’s extremely priceless, isn’t it? Don’t you remember its effect of reviving the dead? "
To say the effect of this elixir, everyone has witnessed it. It has saved Wang Rush from death.
If taken seriously, such magic medicine is worth more money. But Tao can't afford such a large amount of money, even if they sell Tao Dafu.
