Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 65 What does your 1000 tael silver note look like?

Seeing that Li Ruru did not believe her, Granny Hua said loudly, "Li, you won't go back on your word, will you? You said you would marry Zhang Laizi if you had 1000 taels of silver."

As a small business owner, Li Ruru still values ​​credit very much.

She got up and went to the door. Qiqi was already squatting there, baring its teeth. No wonder the two of them kept shouting at the door; they were afraid of the dog.

Li Ruru leaned against the door frame and said to Zhang Laizi, "Come on, let me see what your 1000 tael silver note looks like?"

She had never seen a 1000-tael silver note before.

Let alone Li Ruru, none of the people present, except for Chu Xiu, had ever seen her before.

Chu Xiu crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe on the other side, amused, and said, "Do you know how much 1000 taels is? If you earn 1 tael a day, it would take you more than 3 years to earn that much!"

Zhang Laizi straightened his neck and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"

Granny Hua tugged at him and whispered, "That's Li's distant nephew."

After saying that, she glared at him again. Since he was going to marry Li, he definitely had to get along well with her family. This scoundrel was really a headache.

Zhang Laizi, though not very bright, still got her meaning and quickly changed his tune.

"Hey little brother, hehe, we're family from now on."

Li Peipei immediately launched into a tirade, "What the hell are you? Why are you barking like a dog in front of my house every day?"

I still want to be with their family? What a load of crap.

Zhang Laizi wasn't annoyed by the scolding; instead, he laughed and said, "This girl really knows how to talk."

If I sell it later, or marry it off, I'm sure I'll get a lot of money.

He peeked inside a few more times and saw two maids who could also be sold.

Seeing his shifty-eyed appearance, Li Ruru said irritably, "Let me see the silver note."

Zhang Laizi arrogantly tossed the silver note into Li Ruru's hand. Granny Hua tried to stop her but was pushed away by Chu Xiu.

Li Ruru looked at the silver note from left to right, but couldn't figure it out.

So he handed it to Chu Xiu, saying, "Xiu'er knows a lot, take a look and see if this is real or fake."

Chu Xiu took it without even looking at it; he could tell it was fake just by touching it. The texture was wrong, and the seals on it were all messed up.

He smiled and said, "It's true!"

Granny Hua was stunned. "Is this real?"

Chu Xiu affirmed, "My family is in business, I've seen a lot, so it's definitely true."

He wouldn't admit it was fake; he wanted to make fun of these two annoying people first.

Granny Hua snatched Zhang Laizi's silver note, looked at it again and again, touched it again and again, and muttered to herself.

"How could this be? This is impossible."

Zhang Laizi snatched the silver note, saying, "Of course it's real."

This was given to him by his father; how could his father possibly lie to him?

Li Ruru's eyes lit up, "Wow, Brother Zhang is amazing! He actually has 1000 taels of silver. Let's get married tomorrow!"

After getting married, I stopped doing this lousy business. I could barely make any money even if I worked myself to the bone all day.

"Why don't we put this money in a money exchange and earn interest?"

He was about to snatch Zhang Laizi's silver note when Zhang Laizi dodged him.

He frowned as he carefully considered Li Ruru's words.

Is she going to lend her money to a money lender to earn interest? And isn't she planning to stop selling konjac tofu altogether?

Then why did he marry her?!
With so much money, why would he marry a middle-aged woman who can't have sons?!

"I'm not marrying you. Just pretend I never said anything about the marriage proposal."

Zhang Laizi was about to run away when Xiao Yishan grabbed him.

Holding a sharp wood-chopping knife in his hand, he whispered, "Zhang Laizi, are you trying to renege on your promise?"

First, ask him if he agrees or not, based on the knife in his hand.

Zhang Laizi was grabbed by the collar, and Xiao Yishan's cold face appeared before him. He was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. "Auntie, save me! This evil star is going to kill me!"

Granny Hua was still in shock at the fact that the silver notes were real and hadn't come to her senses yet.

She completely ignored Zhang Laizi's pleas for help, snatched the silver note, and ran towards the main road.

Zhang Laizi hurriedly tried to chase after her, but Li Ruru stopped him, saying, "Brother Laizi, you promised to marry me, you can't go back on your word."

Zhang Laizi forcefully pushed Xiao Yishan away, pointed at Li Ruru and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, who would want to marry you, you divorced woman who can't bear a son?"

Li Ruru got angry and slapped him across the face— *smack*

A crisp slap landed on Zhang Laizi's face, knocking him to the ground with blood trickling from his mouth and a tooth knocked out.

Even so, he still threatened, "You dare hit me? You crazy woman! I'll beat you to death today, fuck your mother!"

"Watch your mouth!" Xiao Wu rushed over and kicked him to the ground.

Yinyin immediately unchained Qiqi, and Qiqi howled as it rushed forward and tackled Zhang Laizi.

"Ah, don't bite me!"

Qiqi didn't bite anywhere else, but specifically targeted Zhang Laizi's crotch.

Zhang Laizi covered his pants and howled wildly. Qiqi chased after him, but didn't go far, just standing in front of Li Ruru's house for everyone to watch the commotion.

Everyone laughed so hard they almost fell over, and Xiao Yishan silently put down his cleaver.

"Look, he wet his pants!" Yinyin pointed at Zhang Laizi and laughed.

"Ugh... How embarrassing! You're such a grown man, and you still wet your pants!" Peipei added insult to injury.

"If word gets out, who would dare marry him? Wouldn't marrying him mean having to clean up his excrement and urine?" Chaochao chimed in.

"You just wait!" Zhang Laizi shouted as he ran, pulling up his pants with one hand.

His disheveled appearance reminded Li Ruru of a classic line from the cartoon character Grey Wolf.

She smiled and said to everyone, "He will come back."

Chaochao frowned, "He's so annoying."

Peipei laughed and said, "Next time we'll just release Qiqi."

Qiqi chased Zhang Laizi away, but after chasing him for a long time, she came back.

She willingly lay down next to the chain, waiting for Yinyin to put it on her.

"Wow, this dog is practically a spirit!" Chu Xiu said with a laugh.

Li Ruru thought for a moment and said, "We don't need to tie it up, it won't run away."

Of course, Qiqi wouldn't run away. Here, it gets meat and bones to eat every meal, whereas on the mountain, it would go hungry every few days.

"Then I'll go build it a nest." Xiao Yishan has his own house at Li Ruru's house, but Qiqi doesn't.

“Brother Yishan, you are… inherently good.” Yinyin’s little brain worked quickly, and she actually put into use what Chu Xiu had just taught her.

"Oh, you've put your knowledge to good use! I'll reward you with something delicious tonight." Li Ruru patted her little head.

Chu Xiu patted her little head and said, "Tomorrow, Master Chu will buy you candied hawthorns."

Everyone came over and patted Yin Yin's head. Yin Yin wasn't annoyed because everyone had promised to give her something delicious and fun.

The next morning, Li Ruru went to the market to sell konjac tofu as usual.

The plump aunt pointed across the street and said angrily, "Aru, look, they're copying us again!"

Following the direction Aunt Pang pointed, Li Ruru saw that Ren Si Niang's stall also had a sign selling set meals.

She ordered a broad bean set meal with the person selling spicy soup next door.

When Ren Si Niang saw Li Ruru looking at her, she said loudly, "Li Shi, why are you staring at me? Do you think you're the only one allowed to sell meal sets on this street?"

An elderly woman selling spicy soup nearby chimed in, "That's right, this street is yours to run, you can't be so domineering, can you? You can't be the only one making all the money, can you?"

Their words were full of resentment.
