?Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Fierce Battle Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Fierce Battle As night fell, Zhan Lan and her companions waited for the peddler to leave before flipping over the wall into Liu Jinxiu’s backyard from the alley behind her house.
Inside the house, Liu Jinxiu had prepared dinner, and a man cursing and complaining slammed down his chopsticks, “Why are we eating radishes and cabbage again, and even eggs? Are we that poor now?”
Liu Jinxiu responded with a smile, “Son, these past few months, mom has been a bit tight on money. You’ll just have to make do with this for now!”
The man, impatient, said, “What about her, has she not given you any money? After such a big favor you did, she just leaves you hanging?”
Liu Jinxiu also felt uneasy but comforted herself, “She lives in Ding’an City. There must have been some delay.”
She wondered why Mrs. Li hadn’t sent her any silver these past few months.
Their household was completely dependent on Mrs. Li’s silver to survive!
Hearing this, Zhan Lan speculated that the person mentioned by Midwife Liu must be Mrs. Li.
She gently pushed open the door and stepped inside. The mother and son were shocked to see Zhan Lan.
“Who are you?” asked Liu Jinxiu’s plump son, Li Huan.
“Mrs. Li sent me to deliver some money to you,” Zhan Lan said softly.
Li Huan asked excitedly, “Why have you only come now!”
Liu Jinxiu suspiciously eyed Zhan Lan, “Isn’t the money always delivered through the silver bank? Why come in person?”
Zhan Lan said somberly, “Because Mrs. Li was injured and has been bedridden for months. Worried you might be in urgency, she entrusted me to come in her stead.”
