The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!

41 Trouble

“Ah, alright!” The old lady immediately wiped her tears and hurriedly walked forward with her hunched body. She trembled as she handed the black jade over.

Seeing that everything was fine, Zhou Xiaoli and the others prepared to leave.

At this moment, the old lady’s unbelievable voice sounded. “It’s a stone? Shopkeeper, you said that this is a stone and not jade?”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoli frowned and walked over. Then, she heard the shopkeeper say, “That’s right. This is a stone carved with patterns. It’s everywhere. It’s just that the color is a little rare and not worth much. I can’t take it. You should take it back.”

As he spoke, he handed the stone over.

“How could this be? How could this be?”

The old lady trembled as she took the stone back, feeling a little dejected.

The shopkeeper shook his head. “If you don’t believe me, go to another pawnshop. Sigh! I can’t help you.”

With that, he closed the door.

Zhou Xiaoli thought for a moment and asked, “Granny, how much did your son spend on this?”

The old lady sighed. “It’s 1,000 copper coins. I knew it. One shouldn’t buy anything from the stone gambling den. My son just won’t listen. I’ll break his legs when I get back!”

The old lady gritted her teeth.

Zhou Xiaoli pursed her lips. “Well, how about this, granny? I’m going to make a hairpin for my mother and I happen to lack a piece of decoration. I quite like this stone. Why don’t I give you one tael of silver and you sell it to me?”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only was the old lady surprised.

Even Liu Yan, who was in the car, almost fell down in surprise.

She immediately called out, “Little Li!”

Then, she felt that it was inappropriate and whispered, “Come here.”

Zhou Xiaoli said to the granny, “Granny, wait for me. I’ll go get the money.”

With that, she walked back to the cart. “Auntie, what’s wrong?”

“Little Li, don’t be stupid. I know you’re kind, but this isn’t being kind. Whose money comes from the sky?” Liu Yan whispered in her ear.

Liu Yan’s daughter-in-law and Old Madam Yang also persuaded her in a low voice.

“Didn’t you hear what the pawnshop said about it being a stone? They’re everywhere. Only a fool would spend a tael of silver to buy a stone.”

“Don’t be stupid.”

Liu Yan glanced at Wei Chiyu and immediately said, “Chiyu, you should talk to her too.”

Wei Chiyu looked up and said calmly, “Auntie, she’s rich.”

Liu Yan: “… Child, even if you have the money, you shouldn’t spend it like this.”

Then, she went to persuade Zhou Xiaoli again.

However, Zhou Xiaoli smiled and said, “Auntie, I know, but the color of that stone is very rare. I want to polish it and embed it into a hairpin for my mother. It will definitely look good.”

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli was so insistent, Liu Yan and the others did not try to stop her again, especially since they were not her family.

Zhou Xiaoli took the money and went to look for the old lady.

Although the old lady was in a hurry to use the money, she felt a little apologetic nonetheless. “Miss, do you really want to spend one tael of silver to buy my stone? Won’t you suffer a loss in that case.”

Zhou Xiaoli smiled and said, “Granny, don’t worry. I have my own use for this stone so it won’t be a loss for me.”

As she spoke, she handed the money to the granny. “Granny, here, this is the money.”

Looking at the silver nugget in her palm, the old lady’s hands trembled and she was about to kneel down to Zhou Xiaoli. “Miss, you’re a really good person. I don’t know how to thank you. I’ll bring my grandson to bow to you!”

As she spoke, she was about to kneel herself.

Zhou Xiaoli quickly pulled her up. “Granny, you can’t do this. I’m a junior. Won’t you be doing me a disservice by kneeling?”

The old lady thanked her profusely before leaving.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli bought the stone with one tael of silver, Liu Yan and the other two could not understand her thinking.

Zhou Xiaoli only smiled and did not say anything else.

She knew that the three of them were concerned about her, but her intuition told her that this stone might not be a simple stone.

This was because she had just seen traces of spiritual energy on this stone.

The first time she saw spiritual energy was when she saw it on the vase in the mayor’s house. The mayor said that a master had painted the painting on the vase.

Other than being able to see the future, the Heaven’s Eye could also see things that ordinary people could not.

For example, some famous calligraphy paintings, literature, and antiques would emit a unique spiritual energy around them.

Ordinary people would not be able to see it.

As such, Zhou Xiaoli smiled and did not say anything. Wei Chiyu, who was at the side, also focused on driving the cart. He was very quiet.

The journey back was smooth and they reached the village an hour later.

As soon as the donkey cart entered the village, Liu Fengfeng and Zhou Junjun ran over. Liu Fengfeng shouted, “Sister Xiao Li, go home quickly. The bad guys want to hit Auntie!”

Zhou Junjun also ran over. He was holding back his tears just now, but when he saw Zhou Xiaoli, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into tears. “Sis, someone hit Mother, someone hit Mother!”

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoli immediately jumped off the donkey cart.

Liu Yan and the others immediately said, “Don’t be anxious. Let’s go take a look.”

After hearing that someone had caused trouble at her house and even hit Zhang Lan, Zhou Xiaoli could not wait any longer. She instructed, “Brother Jun, go back with your Big Brother Wei!” Then, she ran off immediately.

—

Before she reached home, she saw from afar that a group of people had surrounded their house.

...

As soon as she walked in, she heard a sharp voice coming from the courtyard, cursing.

“Tell your little wh*re to get out here! How dare she frame my son, causing him to be punished? If she can’t give me an explanation today, I won’t leave!”

“Let me tell you, if anything happens to my son, I’ll make your entire family suffer!”

…

Zhou Xiaoli pushed through the crowd and squeezed her way into the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw six people surrounding the courtyard. Two of the women were blocking Zhang Lan from going out.

On Zhang Lan’s face, there were obvious five-finger marks.

There were two men standing next to them. There were two stretchers on the ground with two other people lying on them.

However, Zhou Xiaoli recognized these two people. They were Sun Er and Wang Gou, who had been forcibly brought to the county office by the mayor and were punished.

Needless to say, the two couples must be their parents.

No wonder they turned out as such. Their parents were not reasonable at all!

...

At this moment, Zhou Yu was extremely anxious while he’s on the roof. The ladder, which was originally propped against the roof, had been thrown to the ground at one side. He was anxious and yet he could not come down.

Now that he saw that Zhou Xiaoli had returned, he became even more anxious.

This morning, Zhou Xiaoli heard from Zhang Lan that there had been strong gusts of wind recently. As such, the thatch on the roof had been blown away by the wind, and a hole was revealed.

She had asked Zhou Yu to repair the roof today.

They were probably repairing the roof when the two families came to make trouble for them.

At this moment, the Village Chief and Liu Liangcai were trying to mediate, but Sun Er’s mother, Madam Wang, and Wang Gou’s mother, Madam Zhu, seemed to have gone crazy and refused to listen.

The two crazy women were about to hit Zhang Lan again after hearing their son cry out in pain.

Zhou Xiaoli was instantly enraged.

She rushed up and kicked the two women in the stomach.

The two of them were caught in surprise by Zhou Xiaoli.

They clutched their stomach and howled.

“Ah, it’s that little wh*re who dares to kick me!”
