Looking at him with disdain, "Just you?"

An infuriating smile appeared on his lips.

Cao Jingui became more and more angry, squinting his eyes with vicious eyes.

"Who is your husband's family?"

Bai Xueru chuckled and raised her eyes to look at him, "Why, you want to find him!"

"So what."

Cao Jingui stared angrily and spoke in a bad tone!

Bai Xueru couldn't help but smile brightly, "Okay, that's good. Go ahead! Go over and say hello to him for me."

Cao Jingui didn't know why, and looked at Bai Xueru with his eyes, "Where is he?"

What kind of husband can leave his wife alone to run a business?

It's not easy for me to hit her, and it's the same for her husband.

Bai Xueru suppressed her laughter and leaned back, "Go to the underworld!"

Some people in the hall just couldn't hold back their laughter and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Cao Jingui's face was livid, and he looked sideways at the wealthy households in the room who were suppressing their laughter.

Several people looked at his expression and immediately stopped laughing. After all, their family's property was not as good as his, so it was not easy to offend him.

Only Uncle Mu Wu laughed, not caring about Cao Jingui's cannibalistic gaze, and looked at Bai Xueru with admiration.

Looking at her niece who was still standing next to her, she didn't know how her niece knew her.

I have never seen such an interesting woman in the city. When did she come to the city?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Huocheng, he was invited by the county magistrate to join them.

What is your identity?

Cao Jingui's uncontrollable anger burst out.

"It's just that I have a powerful mouth. There is no one here that you can compare to. If I have to pay, I'm afraid you will have to cry."

"If you don't cry for me, I will reward you with a tael of silver."

Bai Xueru looked calm and chuckled, "Are you in a hurry to see my husband? Do you want to make arrangements for all the mourners?"

"Don't worry, I will pay all the beggars in the city to cry for you. Let you go on your journey in peace."

"you!"

Cao Jingui slapped his hand on the table, his nostrils were rough and his face turned dark.

"Haha!" Mu Yiyun couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

Thinking back to the time when he and she fought for a man before, in comparison, she was still too friendly to him!

"Hmph, with your little family fortune, you can still afford to be a beggar, so you should buy your own clothes first. They are even worse than what my maid wears."

Bai Xueru did not wear any jewelry on her head or body at this time, nor did she apply any makeup.

Wearing a plain moiré dress, she wears a simple hairpin made by a small blacksmith. The whole body is dressed in a low-key and simple style.

Bai Xueru smiled lazily and indifferently.

"The family fortune is not big, just a hundred times or a thousand times that of yours."

"Hmph, it's easy to talk big words. If you have the ability, really spend the money."

Bai Xueru looked towards the door, stood up casually, and looked at Cao Jingui with contempt,

"Okay, no matter how much you offer, I will offer ten times as much."

"Just you?" Everyone present did not believe Bai Xueru's words, and their eyes looked like they were watching a good show.

Bai Xueru didn't explain either. Looking up, he saw Mu Yiyun's trusting eyes. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Go back and sit down!" he instructed.

"Oh!" Mu Yiyun nodded and walked back to Uncle Mu Wu.

Uncle Mu Wu looked at his niece's well-behaved appearance and was quite curious about Bai Xueru. This niece had a flamboyant personality at home and was difficult to discipline.

How could he be so obedient in front of her?

Zhou Lingxing heard the commotion in the house when he was outside. Just as he was about to enter,

When he saw Bai Xueru pouring water on his head, he couldn't help but stop and go in later.

Listening to the bickering in the room, I understood Bai Xueru's character better and better. It’s really aggressive, but it’s a good fight! Appreciative eyes.

At this moment, as he stepped into the hall, the rich people in the room stood up to greet him...

Zhou Lingxing walked straight into the room, sat down at the main seat, looked at the people below, and went straight to the topic.

"I've called you all here today because I want to raise some money to give porridge to the beggars in the city. This is an act of good deeds. You can feel free to say whatever you want and contribute as much as you can!"

The wealthy households below looked at each other in confusion. In fact, they had already guessed in their minds the purpose of the county magistrate calling him here.

It's just because of the money. After all, I have nothing but money, and the people who come here are all rich people, so naturally I want everyone to give me the money.

With a measure in mind, I had already thought about how much I would spend in a while.

Cao Jingui looked at Bai Xueru with an evil look on his face.

"Didn't I say that you would pay ten times as much as I paid? I will pay three thousand taels!"

His face was full of pride and arrogance,

I didn't believe that she could offer more than him. Originally, I only wanted to offer a thousand taels.

But since she said how much she would pay, she would pay ten times as much.

I want to see where she comes from? snort!

Bai Xueru smiled contemptuously and straightened her clothes unhurriedly.

"Aren't you saying that the Cao family is the second richest family in the city, so why do you have the nerve to say it?"

When other people saw her like this, they thought she was really arrogant. They looked down upon the woman more and more, wondering if she didn't even know how to settle accounts and just came here to show off.

How much can you do with three thousand taels of silver? The annual income of an ordinary shop may not be one thousand taels. The annual expenditure of an ordinary family is less than ten taels.

The Cao family is indeed rich and powerful. Although they are not very good-tempered, the money is real. The family business is also real.

I am indeed not as good as him. I can only contribute 500 taels at most. The head of the Wu family calculated it all.

"Didn't you say that you want to pay ten times what I pay? You start with the amount you pay and then count. Thirty thousand taels, can you afford it?"

Cao Jingui's eyes were sarcastic, trying to make this boastful shrew look embarrassed.

"Everyone here has heard it. Are you the head of the Bai family, a person like you who doesn't mean what you say?" After saying that, he laughed out loud.

"Otherwise, you should go home quickly. Don't be embarrassed here. You are a widow, how can you get so much money." His eyes were contemptuous and sarcastic.

"Yes, yes, if you don't have the ability, don't say such big words, it's not a shame!" Others echoed.

"My sister can take it as long as she says it. What does thirty thousand taels count?"

"She just thinks it's embarrassing that you don't pay enough." Mu Yiyun spoke up in defense and said arrogantly:

"If you can get 30,000 taels, my sister can get 300,000 taels! I don't know who it is, it's embarrassing here."

She still has great faith in Bai Xueru's financial resources. She can casually give away ten thousand taels of money to a stranger she just met.

How could he care about these three melons and two dates?

Cao Jingui didn't believe it at all, he just thought she was bluffing, with disdain on his face.

"Hmph, I don't believe she has that kind of money. If she can come up with 30,000 taels, I'll give as much as she can!"

Mu Yiyun smiled and asked for Bai Xueru. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, the county magistrate will bear witness."

Cao Jingui raised his hand to salute the county magistrate. With a face full of determination, Bai Xueru couldn't afford so much money.

Zhou Lingxing watched silently and did not interrupt. He nodded lightly and motioned for them to continue.

I don’t know how much she can take out? But it was so easy for her to increase the price when she bought the house, so she must have had a lot of money...

He picked up the tea cup, brushed the floating powder on it, and took a light sip.

below,

Bai Xueru looked at Cao Jingui calmly, the corners of her lips curled up slightly,

"Oh? How much do you pay for me?"

"Hmph, you can afford thirty thousand taels first," Cao Jingui replied, glaring at Bai Xueru with fierce eyes.

Bai Xueru casually took out a hundred thousand taels of silver notes from her arms, walked a few steps forward, and placed it on the county magistrate's desk.

His posture is calm and his voice is striking,

"Then I will give you one hundred thousand taels. I am willing to work hard for you and do my best for the people of Huocheng."

After saying that, he looked sideways at Cao Jingui, the smile on his lips deepened, and his eyes indicated,

It's his turn...
