Chapter 6 Value for money

Along the way, I was used to seeing men in rags with children and daughters in tow, who were bent down by fate. Now seeing this suave man with a sense of weakness, Jinchu's mouth twitched.

The fox man's eyes flashed slightly and his thin lips curled up slightly. Jin Chu hurriedly got under the table: "I don't know you! I don't know you!"

"You scared her!"

Chu Li glared at the man fiercely. When the man saw the girl in the room blushing as if she had taken aphrodisiac, she tried her best to wink at him. Then he looked at Jinchu who was hiding under the table, shivering and sticking out his butt, and touched her. Touch your chin.

"Chu Li, does your girl have any eye problems?"

The fox man's voice was as clear as a mountain spring, and his tone was as light as a feather. When it fell into Jin Chu's ears, it was like a thunder.

Taishang Laojun!He likes to dress like this and go to the mortal world to eat fish. Jin Chu covered her head. It seemed like she was going to be cooked after all!
Since meeting the fox man, Jinchu has been sick, has a high fever, and talks nonsense. Caiyi is confused by what he hears. What a good boy, he must say that he is a fish!

When Jinchu's fever subsided, Caiyi gave her a pendant and left the money, and ran away with her lover without hesitation. The madam had nowhere to vent her anger. When she was scolding Jinchu, she was killed by Chu Li's subordinate Jiang Hua. It was blocked.

Jiang Hua raised his foot and kicked the madam on the knee. The madam immediately knelt in front of Jinchu's bed and said, "Apologise!"

Without saying a word, the Madam kept her head on the ground and wanted to kowtow to Jinchu. Jinchu quickly shouted: "No, no, no, don't kowtow to me, or my life will be shortened! I don't blame you, get up quickly!"

The madam knelt and did not move, looking at Jiang Hua, who had an angry look on his face and held his sword.

"Don't you understand what people are saying? Get up!"

After Jin Chu begged, Jiang Hua led her to an alley where beggars were squatting and lying down. Chu Li actually stayed with them.

"Daddy!" Jin Chu hugged Chu Li's thigh and cried heartbreakingly.

"These are Jun Yan's people and have nothing to do with dad."

The beggars nodded happily and dispersed.

"Dad, let's go."

The next day, Jinchu thanked the old bustard, took the money Caiyi left for her when she left, and ran to the Dragon King Temple.

With Chu Li away, could it be that she has changed her mind, or is she planning to sell her into a brothel to take Cai Yi's place?
woo woo woo...

While crying, a pair of old boots stopped in front of Jinchu's eyes. Chu Li, wearing a faded lake blue gown, looked down at her.

Jinchu grabbed her and said, "Daddy! Wuwuwu..."

"I went to the brothel to look for you but you were missing. Why are you running around? We agreed to meet here and Daddy will not break his promise!"

Chu Li's tone was a bit harsh, and Jin Chu cried even harder.

When she looked up, she saw that the black air on her father's head had faded to the point where it was almost invisible. Her fate had really been reversed!
"What's Jinchule?"

"I think we are getting better and better, so happy!" Chu Li took Jin Chu's hand, and yes, the two of them escaped and headed west.

"If you're so happy...make some clothes for Xiao Jinchu!"

"New clothes?"

Jinchu hadn't worn new clothes for a long time, and Caiyi had modified her outfit with her own clothes, looking like a butterfly.

"Let's go buy some cloth."

For five coins, I bought a piece of fine cloth and a piece of coarse cloth. I also asked the shopkeeper of the cloth shop and bought two old clothes.

Old clothes are clothes that rich people don't wear. They are worthless, regardless of size. They only cost twenty coins for two clothes.

"It's winter when we arrive in Kyoto. If we didn't starve to death on the road, we certainly can't freeze to death."

Jinchu nodded repeatedly and left the brothel and Taishang Laojun. What else was she dissatisfied with?
Jinchu didn't expect that her father would use her huge sum of money to buy a carriage, rice, cotton and needlework.

"Dad, how much money do we have left?"

Chu Li smiled and handed the remaining few coins to Jin Chu: "Our family's money will be kept for you from now on."

Jinchu was stunned for a moment while holding the copper plate. Is it gone now?

Prodigal Daddy!

The advantage of having a car is that you don't have to walk. You sit in the carriage and drive while your father makes clothes. Occasionally, he teaches Jin Chu how to read and write and tells her stories. The two of them have a tacit understanding and do not talk about Chu Li's past.The two of them walked leisurely to Xizhou Kyoto. After eighteen days, they finally arrived.

It was already early winter. Chu Li made two jackets and a set of underwear for Jinchu. She herself had a cotton coat and an underwear. The remaining coarse cloth was used as a quilt. The larger one was given to her and the smaller one was given to Jinchu. early.

He also used the remaining scraps to piece together and made two pairs of shoes, one large and one small. Jinchu's toes were embroidered with hibiscus flowers.

At this time, the black energy on Chu Li's head had already dissipated, and the purple energy became deeper.

The two of them were not cold to death, but they did indeed have no money in their hands, and they might have to live on the streets in the next few days.

After entering Kyoto, Chu Li drove the carriage to West Street.

"This is a slum area, and the security is pretty good."

Jin Chu blinked: "Dad has been to Kyoto?"

Chu Li shook her head, with a mysterious smile: "My dear daughter, this world is actually a book, and I am the one who wrote the book!"

"what?"

"I'm kidding you!" Chu Li rubbed Jinchu's head and continued driving.

When they arrived at West Street, Chu Li asked from house to house, and finally asked a house that had a yard for rent.

"Where are you with your daughter? This child is so cute."

"Life is not easy, aunt. If you can be more accommodating with the rent, I can buy my daughter a meat bun later."

Jinchu was ashamed. Her father had said that a man can bend and stretch. Did she learn her bargaining skills from books?

"One tael of silver, no more!"

"Thank you ma'am."

Dad clasped his fists, and Jin Chu also said, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

"Oh, you have a sweet mouth."

But her father only gave her two copper coins, saying it was a deposit and she would pay the remaining rent tomorrow.

Originally, her mother-in-law was reluctant, so Jinchu followed Caiyi's example, holding her arm, staring and telling lies: "My mother-in-law is as beautiful as the Queen Mother..."

"Kacha!" A bolt of lightning struck down, scaring Jin Chu into shutting his mouth.

"Oh, what a world, the sky is clear and there is thunder, you two... Okay, I will come over at noon tomorrow to collect the rent."

After tidying up the small courtyard and placing things in place, Chu Li locked the courtyard door and went shopping!
Although the journey was difficult, the growing horse's butt became fat and round.

"Buy a horse and give a carriage, not ten taels, not eight taels, just seven taels of silver!" Dad shouted standing at the market.

Jinchu pulled Chu Li's sleeve: "Dad, you feel embarrassed, why don't you let me shout?"

Chu Li thought for a while and nodded: "We, Jin Chu, are the best at yelling." Then, she walked far away.

Jinchu stood on the carriage and cleared his throat: "Uncles and aunties, don't miss it when you pass by. Selling a horse at a loss only costs ten taels of silver. You don't have to ask or bargain, and you don't have to worry about being ripped off. Really. Great value for money!”

"Horses for sale! Fat horses! Buy a horse and get a carriage for free!"

"Hey, little girl, where are your adults?" Jinchu raised his eyes and looked at his father.

At some point, Dad wrapped a piece of cloth around his head and winked at her.

"My dad went shopping and will be back in a minute."

"Really buying a horse and sending a carriage? Is it your decision?" The old man shrewdly circled around the carriage.

"Dad said, sell it at a loss and buy me new clothes and white flour steamed buns. No matter how good the horse is, we have raised it since we were young. We are reluctant to eat meat..."

"I'll buy it!" Dad rushed forward and pushed the old man away, "Little girl, I'll pay ten taels!"
