The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

Then he said in surprise: "Gold!"

Li Xi heard the sound and came over to look inside, and found that the box was full of gold bars.

They were neatly stacked on top. No wonder there was no sound when Xiaomi shook it just now.

"My dear, you have become rich now. This is too much."

Xiaomi looked at the gold and after a little thought she knew who had given it to her. It was the person she had carried down the mountain.

Otherwise, if someone wanted to send her something, they would not go through Magistrate Li, and they could afford gold. Besides Shen Shiqing, the only person Xiaomi knew was Yuan Huanhuan.

But it definitely wasn’t Yuan Huanhuan. She always sent someone to deliver things directly to the Wang family.

Moreover, it has only been half a month since Yuan Huanhuan delivered the gifts, and according to Yuan Huanhuan's habit, it is not yet time.

What’s more, Yuan Huanhuan acted like she was playing with a dress-up doll, giving her clothes, jewelry, supplements, and medicinal herbs.

Even if she were to give gold as a gift, she would only give gold jewelry.

Instead of sending gold bars directly.

After eliminating this possibility, it must have been sent by Shen Shiqing.

"This is a gift from the little brother who I rescued from the mountain on the day I was kidnapped. The fact that he gave me so much gold means that he is home safely now."

Li Xi looked at the gold in the box and sighed, "Then this little brother you mentioned has some stuff at home. You know, it's a bit difficult for my family to take out so much gold at once."

The two of them said just a few words, and then Li Xi took Xiaomi to the mountain to play.

After this time, it seems that she won’t be able to come out before getting married, so she thought that she must have a good time this time before going back.

Li Xi pulled Xiaomi and ran in front, while Chun Tao chased after them and kept saying, "Miss, be careful with your steps. Wait for me!"

After Li Xi had enough fun, he had dinner at Wang's house and then left reluctantly.

When he left, he reminded Xiaomi several times: "My dear, you must come when I get married. If you don't come, I will be angry."

"Sister Li, you've said it several times. Don't worry, we will definitely go when the time comes."

After hearing Xiaomi's assurance, Li Xi felt relieved and got on the carriage back home.

Xiaomi waited until Li Xi left completely before closing the door and returning to the house.

The box was carried out of the room and placed in the main room. When the box touched the table, there was a bang, which attracted several people to look at the box.

Old Lady Wang thought it was some small gift from Li Xi, so she said to Xiaomi, "Why are you taking out something that Li Xi gave you? Put it away quickly because we don't want to see it."

"Oh, this milk was not brought by Sister Li, but was given to me by the little brother who wanted to give me the jade pendant when he stayed at our house last time."

Only then did Old Lady Wang look at the box and opened it at Xiaomi's signal.

"Oh my goodness, how much silver is this!"

The other people also gasped when they saw the neatly arranged gold bars in the box.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that their soap factory is selling soap continuously every day.

Wang Zhuzi’s pig farm can now make money, but the money they have earned in the past few years is probably not as valuable as this box of gold bars.

Old Wang said, "We didn't do anything but let someone stay for one night. We can't accept this. Otherwise, what will become of our Old Wang family?"

Old Mrs. Wang also felt that although it was Xiaomi who saved the man, this amount of gold was too much.

It would be fine if she gave one hundred taels of gold like Madam Li did back then.

This is obviously more than one hundred taels.

Xiaomi poured out all the gold bars, and they made a series of crisp tinkling sounds on the table.

Then Xiaomi saw that there was a silver note at the innermost part of the box, pressed underneath the gold bar, with the back facing up.

Xiaomi took out the silver note and found that it said one thousand taels of gold.

After it was read out, the entire Wang family fell silent in an instant. It was so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped in an instant.

It was not until a clear swallowing sound was heard that the silence in the hall was completely broken.

Wang Zhuzi turned into a screaming chicken and repeated what Xiaomi had just said: "One thousand taels!"

Zhao Lishui, who was next to the loud noise, reached out to clean her ears that were disturbed, and then patted Wang Zhuzi.
