Fate of the Stupid Son Chapter 154

Xiao Si went out quickly and saw Song Wan Yue standing in the doorway, subconsciously he was about to cover the silver hidden in his possession, but then he held it back and tried hard to squeeze out a smile, “Miss Song, Miss Song.”

“Go and carry those backpacks to my room.”

Not hearing his words with the young master, Xiao Si’s heart fell back, “Wait a moment, I’ll have them sent up.”

Gu Yi tiptoed behind the door and eavesdropped, hearing that Song Wan Yue was not asking for silver, his heart palpitated as he patted his chest and lifted his feet to go out, “Little girl, what are we having for dinner?”

Song Wan Yue glanced at him and turned towards her house, “What does Young Master Gu want to eat?”

Gu Yi followed him in with three or two steps, taking Song Si’s word for it, “Big brother is about to enter the examination hall, his body can’t be in trouble at this time, we must give him a good tonic, why don’t we go outside and find a restaurant and have a good meal.”

“If he agrees, we’ll go right away.”

Gu Yi’s small face fell, if he dared to talk to Song Si, he wouldn’t have come to encourage Song Wan Yue.

But he wasn’t dead yet, “Little girl, my father always said that silver is for spending, not for saving, and besides, it’s not safe to carry so much silver with us, in case we attract thieves again, disturb big brother and delay his exams, we’ll lose more than we gain. So, it’s better to go and spend it.”

“How much silver did Master Gu give you?”

Song Wangyue asked coldly.

“Two ……”

Noticing that he had almost spoken out of turn, Gu Yi hastily covered his mouth, and when he saw Song Wan Yue looking at him, he hurriedly put it down again and blinked sheepishly, “Five or five thousand taels, didn’t you take them all?”

“Is that so?”

Gu Yi nodded his head in a feigned calm, his feet moving quietly towards the door, his thoughts telling Xiao Si to hurry up and hide the silver tickets.

“Come and have a cup of tea, the mate has just brought it up.”

“I, I have some in my room too, I, I’ll go back and drink it.”

As the words left his mouth, he had already moved to the door and was about to go out with his feet up when Song Wangyue’s unhurried voice rang out from behind him, “If you go out, don’t come in later.”

Gu Yi’s foot, which had been raised above the threshold, swished back and turned around, putting on a flower-like smile, “I don’t want to go out, I’m just afraid that Xiao Si and the others will accidentally bump into the basket when they go upstairs and damage the mint oil inside, so I’ve come over to watch over them.”

Song Wangyue bowed her head and poured the tea.

Gu Yi quietly turned her head to look out, not seeing Xiao Si coming up, and slowly moved back to the table step by step to sit down, absentmindedly picking up the tea.

The sound of footsteps came, Gu Yi subconsciously about to put down the tea jar and get up, put it halfway, saw Song Wan Yue’s smiling gaze, heart a stirring, and quickly put it back, as if nothing happened, took a small sip.

Xiao Si and the other two boys came in with their backpacks, Gu Yi winked at him desperately, Xiao Si wondered, “Young master, why are you blinking?”

Gu Yi almost smashed his tealight over, this silly thing, not being smart when he should be, didn’t he see that this was his cue?

Song Wan Yue pointed to a corner of the room, signalling for the boy to put the back basket over, and said without slowing down, “Your young master has an eye cramp, it’s not something he can control.”

Surprisingly, Xiao Si believed it and busily put the backpack down, “I’ll let the fellows go and get a doctor.”

“No need, it will be ready in a moment.”

Xiao Si looked carefully at Gu Yi’s eyes and saw that he was really not blinking, so he was relieved and carried the basket and put it down.

The two boys had already put the back basket away, saluted and then retreated.

Xiao Si put it away and was about to follow suit when Song Wan Yue shouted at him, “Close the door and pour a cup of tea for your young master again.”

Xiao Si did not doubt it and went to close the door, then came back to take the tea from Gu Yi’s hand, only to be glared at by Gu Yi several times.

Xiao Si was puzzled by the glare and was about to ask when Song Wan Yue reached over from the side, “Bring it over.”

Xiao Si didn’t react for a moment, and Gu Yi kicked him in anger, “Take out the silver ticket.”

Xiao Si immediately covered his money pouch hidden in front of his chest, “Young master, how did you give it to say?”

Gu Yi wanted to hold the tea jar over his head, he was stupid to tell the little girl, but on his lips he said, “Cut the crap, take it out!”

Xiao Si wanted to cry, if he had known that young master would give it to Miss Song, he would have hidden some in advance when he went downstairs just now.

“Song, Miss Song, this, this silver is for the young master to buy things, can I not give it to you?”

Gu Yi also turned his head abruptly to look at Song Wan Yue, hope rising vaguely in his eyes.

“I can’t!”

Song Wan Yue’s categorical words cut off the two men’s hopes, Gu Yi’s heartache lowered his head to drink tea, Xiao Si still attempted to struggle, “Then, then can you keep some, in case ……”

“Good.”

Xiao Si was very happy, nimbly took out the money bag tucked in his arms and handed it to Song Wan Yue with both hands respectfully.

Gu Yi also turned his head again with a whoosh, watching Song Wan Yue open the money bag with glowing eyes.

Song Wan Yue counted the money one by one and put it back in. After she tied the money bag, she took out the twenty taels of silver from her body and handed it to Xiao Si, “Take it, save it, we’ll be here for half a month.”

Xiao Si looked at the silver ticket in front of him incredulously, his eyes were about to tear up. The silver tickets in his money bag were all one thousand taels each, he thought Song Wangyue would give him at least one, and stammered, “This, this is too little.”

“I’ll pay for the room, and I’ll pay for the meals, what do you need so many silver tickets for?”

“To do, do, do ……”

Xiao Si peeked up to look at Gu Yi.

The bright light in Gu Yi’s eyes had receded at the sight of the twenty taels of silver ticket.

He knew that Song Wangyue would say no, so even if Xiao Si struggled, he would not ask for an extra tael of silver, and pretended not to see Xiao Si’s pleading eyes as he lowered his head to drink his tea.

Xiao Si only had to withdraw his gaze, “What not to do, just be afraid of something.”

“Come back to me when something happens, I’ll give you as much as you need.”

Xiao Si answered with a cry, took the silver ticket, put it away carefully, and dragged his heavy footsteps outside.

Gu Yi also put down his tea and got up, “I’ll go back and rest for a while.”

He grabbed Xiao Si’s clothes when he reached the door and dragged him straight to his room, letting go of his hand and poking him hard in the head with his finger, “Are you stupid? I’ve given you a wink and you didn’t even understand? Now we don’t even have a bit of silver.”

Xiao Si covered his head and spoke back discontentedly, “Can you blame me for this? Young master, if you hadn’t given Miss Song the word, how would the silver ticket have been taken away?”

Gu Yi was furious and poked his hand covering his head, “How could I have such a stupid boy like you! If I had told the little girl, how would I have given you the wink?”

Xiao Si was a beat slower to react and his eyes widened, “Young master, you didn’t say that?”

Gu Yi hit him in anger.
