Chapter 197: Sincerity of Chopped Hand 1

Qi Qingyao touched her chin and said, “They’re still willing to accept my three babies~ Not bad~!”

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t consider it if there’s no money involved?” Jiang Yeqian asked sourly.

“Yeah.”

“Then, now you…”

“They don’t have money. So, I didn’t consider it. Wait till I meet a rich, good-looking, and generous person in the future, then I’ll have to think about it.”

After Qi Qingyao said this, Jiang Yeqian turned around angrily, grumbling that he was going back to the house to see if the children were okay.

Qi Qingyao asked confusedly, “Why is his temper so bad?”

“Isn’t he always hot-headed?” Si Jin said.

Just a moment after sending Madam Liu away, Qi Qingyao took a sip of tea. She thought about how there was no food at home and whether or not she should head back to the inn. Just then, someone knocked on the door again and was shouting at the door.

“Eleventh Daughter!”

Qi Qingyao spat out the sip of tea. “Could it be that someone has come to introduce me to potential partners again?”

Si Jin quickly buckled on his mask and opened the door.

After a while, Si Jin ran back.

“No, it’s Old Man Zhang.”

“Who is Old Man Zhang?” She did not know any Old or Little Zhang!

Si Jin smiled and said, “Old Man Zhang’s isn’t just anyone. Old Man Zhang is Zhang Tieyuan, the one whose field and land you won from your gambling last time.”

Oh, that person. “Call him in.” Qi Qingyao did not bother getting off the chair; she even pulled her blanket a bit higher up.

Zhang Tieyuan had poked nearby the village previously but he did not dare to enter the village because he was ashamed! He did not want the villagers to talk about him. Nonetheless, when he looked at this five-story building, he found it exquisite and magnificent! Visually, it was even more beautiful than the Qingyun Pagoda in Qingzhou City! Zhang Tieyuan was moved.

The Eleventh Daughter was not an ordinary person.

He wanted to return to the village.

Hence, he came back alone today.

Many people spotted him upon his entering the village. However, Zhang Tieyuan did not greet anyone. He walked toward this building alone.

When he reached the door, Zhang Tieyuan stood silently for only a second. He then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After the young man wearing a horse-face mask came to open the door, Zhang Tieyuan followed in very awkwardly. He then stood in the courtyard. Looking at this building so closely, Zhang Tieyuan felt the majesty of this structure; he was shocked.

He was then led into the parlor inside.

Having never entered such a luxurious house like this before, Zhang Tieyuan felt inexplicably nervous.

He did not know where to look.

Then, he heard a voice coming from in front of him.

“Want to gamble with me again?”

Zhang Tieyuan looked toward the source of the sound and saw the lady sitting cross-legged on a chair with a blanket on her lap. She was holding a heating pack in her arms and a cup of tea in her hands. She was looking at him with a smile on her face. She also took a glance at the kitchen knife around his waist. Si Jin was standing beside Qi Qingyao quietly, making sure this person would not cause any trouble.

“Eleventh Daughter.” Zhang Tieyuan swallowed and said nervously, “I want to make a deal with you.”

“Deal? What will you be offering me with the deal? Could it be that you have other lands? Do you have any fields left?” Qi Qingyao asked.

Zhang Tieyuan raised his eyes. Looking at the smiling lady, he said firmly, “My left hand.”

“I’m not interested in your left hand.” Qi Qingyao said lightly.

“But, you must be interested in the land that you own.” Before Zhang Tieyuan came, he had already made preparations.

“Let’s hear it.” Qi Qingyao looked at him with a casual expression.

“You won my land, but don’t you still need someone to work it for you?” Zhang Tieyuan asked.

Qi Qingyao did not say a word; she was just looking at him.

Zhang Tieyuan said, “I think with your current financial resources, Eleventh Daughter, you surely will not work on the fields by yourself.”

“Oh?” Qi Qingyao was still looking at him with a sweet smile.
