"Jill, what did you call me here for if I can't afford it?"

Cyrus spoke impatiently, picking up the pearl box like a precious treasure, his eyes looking at the Jin family and others as if they were about to snatch it!

"It's not that we can't afford it, it's that we look down on your Haizhu District!"

Jin Yanzhi couldn't hold back any longer. He had just said he didn't want to buy jewelry to avoid any disagreements, but what about now?

Fuck it!

This person is so disrespectful!

They look down on people.

She reminded them again that the pearls in the box were very valuable, and she held the box tightly, as if afraid they would try to steal it!

In Kyoto, he wouldn't even accept a pearl like that as a gift!

"hehe."

Cyrus sneered at these words, looking them over with disdain. His gaze fell on the patches on Jin Yanzhi's clothes, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips: "You? You're willing to spend nine hundred coins to buy ten sea pearls?"

"Your pearls? They're small, and the luster isn't good either. It's only because Kyoto wouldn't want them that you're selling them here, right?"

Jin Yanzhi had previously lived in Kyoto and had seen the tribute items sent from various places.

The largest and best quality pearls were all kept in the palace.

The remaining pearls of good quality were in the hands of the beautiful noblewomen and young ladies of Kyoto.

"you……"

Cyrus's expression changed. He hadn't expected this poor kid to know these things. He was about to speak angrily when Jill pulled him away and said in her native language, "Cyrus, they are my sister's saviors. Since they don't want them, then there's no need to buy them!"

"Jill, are you kidding me?"

Cyrus glared at him irritably, his gaze falling on Jin Yanzhi. He was clearly a poor wretch, yet he was boasting that they could afford it!

He couldn't swallow his anger without retaliating!

"I wasn't playing a trick on you. I thought they would like the sea pearls you were selling. Since they don't, then forget it."

Jill answered quickly, smiled at Jin Yanzhi and the others, and pulled Cyrus aside, saying, "Whether they can afford it or not, they're all locals. What, you want to act like you're at home in someone else's place?"

They crossed the ocean to come to the Great Xia Kingdom, and none of them were pushovers.

"If things really escalate, wouldn't they protect their own people?"

Jill reminded him, her eyes half-closed.

"You..." Cyrus immediately stopped talking.

"Here, sir, right here."

A woman led the officials in.

Everyone in the inn stood up instantly.

Jill, Cyrus, and the others were all startled.

"Madam Cheng!"

As soon as the woman entered, she went straight to Cheng Qiqi: "Sir, it was she who taught her!"

"What are you doing? We haven't done anything wrong."

Although Jin Yanzhi was afraid, he still rushed forward and stood in front of Cheng Qiqi and Liu Suyi. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the officials coming in from behind.

"Master Li!"

Jin Yan stepped forward, smiling and bowing. Wasn't this Inspector Li who helped them when their sauerkraut porridge stall was vandalized last time?

The person Chongshan invited was said to be a man of the county magistrate.

"Thank you, my benefactor!"

A woman holding a child knelt down in front of Cheng Qiqi, startling her.

At this moment, the Jin family members realized that Cheng Qiqi had just taught them how to save someone who was choking, and Fu'an's wife had just returned home to find that the neighbor's child was choking!

Fu'an gave birth to five daughters before finally having a son, but he died from a throat injury!

Therefore, when the neighbor saw this scene, she sat on the ground and cried. Although it was just a little girl, she was still her daughter.

Seeing this, Sister Fu'an immediately tried the method Cheng Qiqi had suggested, and she actually managed to revive the little girl!

So the neighbors wanted to find their savior!

How would Sister Fu'an know who it was?

They started asking around, and just then they ran into Inspector Li. Upon hearing this, Inspector Li immediately took Fu'an's wife and started looking for her.

Many people saw Cheng Qiqi leaving with the overseas businessmen, and they came looking for her.

"Thank you so much, my savior, for saving my daughter!"

"If it weren't for you, my daughter would be gone. Thank you, thank you."

Fu'an's neighbor, holding her daughter, was still in shock, crying and expressing her gratitude.

"Get up quickly."

When Cheng Qiqi saw Sister Fu'an, she already knew what was going on. She helped her neighbor up, glanced at the child with red, tear-filled eyes, and reminded her, "The child is young, so you have to be extra careful when feeding him."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Fu'an's neighbor nodded repeatedly.

Sister Fu'an stood aside, crying even more bitterly than her neighbors. If her son had learned this method of saving lives earlier, he wouldn't have died!

Her little treasure, her son!

The more Fu'an's sister-in-law thought about it, the more upset she became. At the same time, her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Cheng Qiqi. In the future, if she ever had to choke on food again, her dog would definitely be fine!

"Jin Yanzhi, is that method of choking someone to save a life, which your sister-in-law taught you, really that effective?"

Inspector Li found it difficult to talk to Cheng Qiqi, a woman, but it was very convenient for him to talk to Jin Yanzhi.

"It works! It works incredibly well!"

Jin Yanzhi said excitedly, "When my sister-in-law was saving people, she vomited up this huge hawthorn just from these few berries!"

"He saw it with his own eyes!"

Jin Yanzhi pulled Jin Lizhi over.

Jin Lizhi nodded affirmatively and recounted what had just happened.

Inspector Li listened attentively. Every year, many children choke on their food, and then they're gone just like that!

If it really works that well, then shouldn't adults be encouraged to promote this method of saving lives?

By then, it's hard to say how good the leader's political achievements will be, but at least he'll have saved a lot of lives.

……

As Cheng Qiqi and the others left the inn, Jill glanced at Cyrus beside her and thought, "He's still mocking people for not being able to afford it?"

She can even get in touch with the government. Also, when he mentioned five thousand bottles of glass bottles, Cheng Qiqi wasn't surprised at all!

This shows that they had this intention.

If they bought 5,000 glass bottles, it means their family is in business. How could they not afford a few hundred coins worth of sea pearls?

What an idiot.

Jill went straight inside to rest; she still had to make the most of the afternoon selling goods.

When Cheng Qiqi and her group returned home, Jin Yanzhi couldn't wait to start bragging: "Dad, you didn't go to the county today, but my sister-in-law saved two lives!"

Jin Yanzhi held up two fingers and excitedly recounted the situation at the time.

Jin Yanzhi described it so vividly, as if he were there at the time and had witnessed it with his own eyes!

Especially when talking about Sister Fu'an, and how she led Inspector Li to find someone, Jin Yanzhi's voice rose an octave.

"Is Qiqi that amazing?"

Zhuang Li was leading the villagers over to inquire about the maritime merchant when they heard Jin Yanzhi's words. He excitedly stepped forward: "He's choking on food, is there any hope?"
