Chapter 761: Greed

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Unlike Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, Li Yan, who was in the capital, was in a desperate situation.

Li Yan thought that after Pei Xuanxin entered school, she would be one step closer to the rich life she dreamed of.

However, after living in the capital for a while, Li Yan realized that she was wrong.

Although Pei Xuanxin brought back his salary every month, this salary couldn’t support her expenses at all.

She couldn’t even afford a beautiful silver hairpin. She could only return the silver hairpin to the shopkeeper reluctantly.

What made Li Yan even more desperate was that in the beginning, Pei Xuanxin would give her his salary and let her take care of everything at home.

However, Pei Xuanxin’s salary was quickly spent. When the family really needed money, they couldn’t take out any money.

In a fit of anger, Pei Xuanxin put away his monthly salary himself. Every day, he only gave Li Yan the money for buying groceries.

Li Yan was very annoyed.

She didn’t want to cook or sweep the courtyard.

Li Yan couldn’t understand why Li Xiaoran could live a good life and become a noble after marrying Pei Xuanxin.

But why was it different after she married Pei Xuanxin?

What had gone wrong?

Just as Li Yan was feeling puzzled, she saw a servant pacing in front of her house.

“Who are you looking for?” Li Yan walked forward and asked.

“Excuse me, is this Pei Xuanxin’s family?”

Li Yan nodded and replied, “That’s right. This is Pei Xuanxin’s family. I wonder why you’re looking for my husband?”

As soon as he heard Li Yan call Pei Xuanxin her husband, the servant quickly placed the basket in front of him in Li Yan’s hand.

“Madam Pei, my master asked me to give this to Mr. Pei! Please accept it!” With that, the servant put down the things and ran away.

Li Yan was about to ask when her gaze landed on the basket.

After picking up the basket, Li Yan felt the heavy weight in her hand.

No matter what was inside, Li Yan felt that she had profited.

Li Yan quickly picked up the basket, opened the door, and went home.

As soon as she closed the door, Li Yan eagerly pulled open the cloth covering the basket.

The golden ingots stunned Li Yan.

To be honest, she had never seen so many gold ingots in her life!

Overjoyed, Li Yan quickly covered the golden ingots with the cloth cautiously.

After looking around and making sure that no one saw her, Li Yan carried the basket into the house with a smile.

Mrs. Pei had recovered a lot, but she could only walk around the courtyard for the time being.

Seeing Li Yan return with two baskets, Mrs. Pei couldn’t help but say, “Daughter-in-law, our family isn’t very rich now, so we should save as much money as we can!”

Mrs. Pei had some objections about Li Yan!

Most women tidied up the home so that her man could work without worries.

However, Ll Yan, wno came trom tne countryside, didn’t act 11Ke someone trom the countryside at all.

She wasn’t thrifty. Instead, she caused trouble all day long.

Seeing her argue with her son over money all day long, Mrs. Pei started to dislike her daughter-in-law.

Although Mrs. Pei was very grateful to Li Yan for marrying her son when he was down and out, why did their life change after that?

If she had known that Li Yan was so lazy and spendthrift, she wouldn’t have let her son marry her back then.

Mrs. Pei didn’t want her son to feel upset, so she gave advice to Li Yan occasionally, but she didn’t dare to be too harsh, for fear that her daughter-in-law would cause trouble again.

With the gold ingots in her hand, Li Yan was in a good mood.

“Mother-in-law, don’t worry! Our family’s life will get better and better in the future! I’ll cut some meat later! Now, I’m gonna go buy meat!”

“You want to buy meat?! Do you have enough money?” Mrs. Pei asked hesitantly.

“Mother-in-law, my husband leaves early and comes back late all day. He’s already so tired that he’s lost weight. No matter what, he has to nourish his body!” Li Yan said with a smile.

Mrs. Pei felt sorry for her son, so when she heard Li Yan’s words, she didn’t object anymore.

“Alright, take the money and buy some meat!”

With Mrs. Pei’s permission, Li Yan carried the basket into the house happily.

Because there were a lot of gold ingots in the basket, Li Yan looked around. After confirming that no one was following her, she carried the basket containing the gold ingots to the room where she and Pei Xuanxin lived.

After closing the door and window, Li Yan lifted the cloth over the basket.

Previously, she had only taken a cursory look. Now, Li Yan held every ingot of gold in her hand and weighed them.

Afraid that these gold ingots were all fake, Li Yan even took a bite of them.

As expected, it was soft. It must be authentic gold ingots.

After confirming this, Li Yan smiled.

Previously, she was worried about what to do if she didn’t have any silver in her hand, but in the blink of an eye, someone came and stuffed a basket of gold ingots to her.

The heavens had helped her achieve her wish.

Li Yan wrapped these gold ingots in cloth happily and wandered around the house.

She had to find a safe place to hide the gold ingots.

After thinking about it, Li Yan simply took out a small crock and placed the gold ingot in it.

After that, Li Yan packed some sand in the crock, buried the gold ingot, and placed it under the bed.

After doing all this, Li Yan left with the money in satisfaction.

There was still a lot of money left from helping the young masters of those two rich families, so Li Yan didn’t use the gold ingots. Instead, she went to buy things with the leftover money in her hand.

This action saved Li Yan from a crisis.

When Pei Xuanxin returned, he smelled the aroma of meat.

When he walked in, he saw his mother resting in the courtyard with her eyes closed.

“Mother, did Yan’er buy meat today? Where did she get the money from?”

Mrs. Pei said, “I don’t know! Something good might have happened today! I saw my daughter-in-law smiling when she came back from buying groceries. Later, she even said that she wanted to nourish your body, so she ran out to buy a large piece of meat! ”

Pei Xuanxin felt that this matter had happened too suddenlv.. This wasn’t like

Li Yan at all!
