eached into his bosom, only to realize halfway through that he had fed the poison to the bandits on the road. The old man was so angry, he was about to explode."You bastard, you're lucky to be alive t...Three peddlers were so heartbroken they wanted to cry. They had scraped and saved for a whole month, only to have it all taken away.

But no matter how good silver is, life is more important!

Just when they thought "spending money to avoid disaster" was successful and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the woman got up and found a stone nearby. Then she broke each of their legs one by one...

Screams erupted from the beach, so horrifying they caused a flock of seabirds to take flight!

The woman threw a stone, clapped her hands, and warned the three vendors in a low voice.

Since you haven't committed any major evil deeds, I'll spare your lives this time. But if you dare to bully women again and I find out, I will personally come for you and send you to meet the King of Hell!

Having said that, she kicked the wounded legs of several people again, causing them to be in excruciating pain and almost fainting. Only then did they pick up the sea goods, turn their heads, and leave.

From beginning to end, she didn't say a word, not letting the three see her full face.

He is decisive in his actions and ruthless!

Until the woman disappeared down the path leading from the beach, behind that rocky outcrop, a man emerged.

It wasn't a stranger, but Jia who was searching everywhere for a future daughter-in-law.

And that woman just now, needless to say, was Coral!

Jiayi's expression was strange. He stared for a long time, then suddenly smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

When she first saved Coral, she was wielding her swords in the midst of bandits, facing danger head-on without changing expression.

It was in that very moment that he fell for this extraordinary woman...

But afterwards, she entered the camp of wounded soldiers, as if having avenged herself, her spirit seemed to have been drained. She became a woman who endured humiliation and acted cautiously, becoming an ordinary woman suppressed by rumors and unable to raise her head.

But looking at her today, perhaps marriage has rekindled her hope for life. The valiant young woman from before is slowly returning!

Henceforth, we shall have to support her in venturing out of the house. Otherwise, confined to the backyard, such a charming and unique woman will be wasted...

Coral didn't know her little secret had been discovered. She sold the sea goods and, with the silver in hand, returned home with a smile on her face.

Twenty taels of silver wasn't much, but it was enough for her to buy bedding and clothes for herself.

Although such a dowry is still quite meager compared to the Li family's status.

But she believed that the Li family wouldn't despise her, wouldn't look down on her for this.

The remaining task is to prepare a proper gift for the Li family's meeting.

To be honest, she still wants to find an opportunity to try her luck...

When Mistress Mi saw her young mistress return, she hurried forward. Before the young mistress could speak, she caught a whiff of the strong smell of sea salt and asked, "Young mistress, did you go to the beach You smell strongly of saltwater!"

Coral, fearing exposure, was about to take a bath and casually asked, "Is everything alright at home"

Mi Saozi quickly replied: “Shortly after you left, General Li came and brought two boxes of snacks for you. Then he returned to the camp.”

Coral's originally high spirits immediately dropped. She happily ate a piece of pastry before going to take a bath.

The next day, she used the same excuse to go shopping and went out alone. She went to the fishing village to retrieve her stored belongings and continued diving into the sea.

She didn't see that two old soldiers had been following her from afar, always ready to protect her...

The Li family's preparations for welcoming their new daughter-in-law are going smoothly.

Tao Hongying was in charge of food and miscellaneous supplies, Zhao Yuru was in charge of thread and cloth, so it wasn't too busy.

Occasionally, I can also lend a hand to Aunt Liu.

Quanzhou is not like Suijin Beach, where you can stroll through the fields or pop in to chat with neighbors.

Although the ocean is vast and the customs and people of different places are diverse, they lose their novelty after a while.

In this way, when there are many things to do, people feel that time passes faster.

And though Coral dove into the sea many times, she longed for time to pass more slowly.

But hard work also pays off. She's been lucky lately, with many merchants from the north coming to play and travel at the dock. Her sea goods have been sold several times at high prices, bringing her another thirty taels of silver.

Thus, her dowry became even more substantial, and all the gifts for the meeting were also prepared.

Needless to say, those merchants were also the work of Jia Yi's hands.

He several times thought of sending the silver his family gave him to Coral's hand, but every time he saw her selling sea goods and skipping home, he changed his mind.

He was willing to carefully maintain the girl's self-esteem. Such a girl was worth loving and even more worthy of respect.

It was quite strange that Old Madam Li, while her grandson was at home, pulled him aside and secretly questioned him.

"Jīyì, I see your money box is still at home, how come you haven't given it to Coral"

You're probably getting worked up about your daughter's dowry, aren't you Hurry and get it ready so she can start preparing her things!

Jia Yi thought about it and didn't hide it from his grandmother. He said, "Grandma, during this period of time, Miss Coral secretly snuck into the sea to collect seafood, wanting to save money for her dowry..."

When Li Lao heard this, she became anxious. She had seen it with her own eyes at the seaside. Those fisherwomen would use a spherical bag made of fish skin and glue, inflate it with air, and then fasten it to their waists before diving into the sea.

Underwater, it was really stuffy, I needed air, so I took a breath from the bag.

If the fishskin bag were to be torn apart at the bottom of the sea, or some other accident occurred, this person could possibly drown.

It can be said that every dive is like walking before the gate of hell.

"How can this be allowed! You must stop them! If anything happens, it'll be too late to regret!" Li Laotai grabbed her grandson's hand and was about to go out.

Jia Yi quickly soothed her, "Grandma, don't worry. I've already found someone to secretly protect her. And the seafood that was salvaged, I also had someone buy it at a high price."

Li Lao Tai let out a slight sigh, and Jia Yi continued, "Grandma, I hope you won't stop Coral from going to sea. She wants to earn her dowry with her own abilities. Perhaps she feels that by entering our Li family this way, she will have the confidence to stand tall."

"I gave her silver, but she wouldn't accept it. Besides, she already has enough silver; she hasn't gone to the beach these past two days."

Only then did Old Lady Li completely relax and patted her grandson's back heavily.

"You little brat, can't you just say it all at once You're making me anxious!"

Jīyì hehe smiled, rarely blushing as he showed off to his grandmother, "Grandma, I have good eyesight, haven't I I found such a good daughter-in-law!"

Grandma Li glared at her grandson, "You, you've never been a good listener since you were little. Luckily, you still have good fortune!"

"In the future, if you have such a capable daughter-in-law managing your household, you won't have anything to worry about."

Li Lao Tai's words were spoken from the heart.

Those who rely on mountains, when the mountains fall, they will have nowhere to go. Those who rely on people, when people leave, they are left alone.

Only oneself is the most reliable!

Although she previously praised Coral for her loyalty and righteousness, deep down she still had some reservations.

Now that Sunzi has spoken, Coral's temperament is exactly what she desires!

Such a woman is more than worthy of her grandson, and capable of helping the Li family establish themselves firmly here!

And at this very moment, the small courtyard where Coral was staying also welcomed Dr. Sun, who hadn't visited in a long time.

Compared to before, Dr. Sun had lost a lot of weight and was much thinner, but his face was full of joy when he smiled.

He didn't even bother to drink the hot tea his daughter had poured him. He directly took a money bag from his waist and shoved it over.

Coral was startled and asked, "Uncle, where did you get so much silver"
