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!
