Song Shen looked dumbfounded at the ten taels of silver in Song Wan Yue’s hand, and then at Gu Yi, who had a face even more handsome than his and was begging for Song Wan Yue’s praise, and didn’t speak for a long time.
He couldn’t understand, was it possible that fools were more desirable than normal people in this world? Otherwise, why else would Boss Wei have given him a ten taels of silver as a fixed price?
Song Sanxiao was beaming with joy, it was ten taels of silver, real cash silver.
He carefully came up to Song Wangyue and looked at it again and again.
“Take it, Third Uncle.”
Song Wangyue simply handed it to him.
“Huh?”
Song San Xiao froze for a moment, almost jumping up with joy, asking in disbelief, “Really, really let me take it?”
Song Wangyue put the silver in his hand and turned around to mix the cold skin, but the moment she tilted her head, she saw Gu Yi looking at her like a puppy, begging for praise.
Gu Yi’s whole body seemed to light up, especially those eyes, as if they were filled with sunlight, bright and warm, clear and dazzling.
The voice couldn’t stop flying, “Little girl, don’t worry, in the future and Yue Hak Lai restaurant business, if he treats you badly, just come to me, I’ll help you smash it.”
Song family,……
Song Wan Yue showed a rare smile, “Young Master Gu must have something to do today when he enters the city, so we won’t delay you. Thank you so much for today’s matter, Young Master Gu.”
Gu Yi’s eyes brightened even more, glittering, “I ……”
Xiao Si tugged at his sleeve, Gu Yi thought of something, the brightness in his eyes faded, “Alright, when I’m done, I’ll come back for you guys.”
The first thing you need to do is to get back to your carriage.
Only after watching the carriage go eye to eye did the Song family breathe a sigh of relief.
If it wasn’t for Gu Yi today, Mr. Wei would not have been so quick to give the deposit.
But they really didn’t want to owe the Gu family any more favours, lest they be pitted by them again.
……
The carriage went all the way to the entrance of Yue Hak Lai Restaurant, Gu Yi got down from the carriage, and Wei’s boss was standing at the entrance waiting, saluting, “Young master.”
Gu Yi subconsciously looked back, did not see Song Wan Yue, then patted his hand to his frightened little heart, then tensed up his face, ignored the shopkeeper Wei, lifted his feet and walked inside.
He then tensed up his face, ignored his face, and lifted his feet to walk inside. With his heart in his mouth, he carefully followed behind him and arrived at the back of the house.
The house was specially reserved for Gu Yi, and the inside was dressed up quite magnificently, in contrast to the outside of the house. Gu Yi sat down, his body leaning against the back of the chair, not speaking.
Boss Wei deliberated and deliberated before speaking cautiously, “Did my subordinate do something wrong?”
Gu Yi glanced at him, “Do you know, who that little girl is?”
“Please be explicit, young master.”
“That’s this young master’s daughter-in-law! ……”
Gu Yi was furious and poked Wei’s head with his finger, “This young master asked Xiao Si to call you over just to give them a hand, but you’re too good to even give them the ten taels of silver deposit, you, you’re just about to piss me off!”
The shopkeeper dared not move and let him poke his head, but his mind was spinning with countless thoughts.
The young master was only ten years old, how could the master and lady have betrothed him? Is it a cover-up, or is it ……
“I’m telling you, when the little girl sends over the cold skin and chilli oil tomorrow, you must pay more silver, if you dare disobey me, I won’t spare you!”
Wei the shopkeeper returned to his senses and bowed his body even lower, “Young master, I wonder when you and the girl from the Song family were betrothed?”
What, he hadn’t heard anything?
At the mention of this, Gu Yi was deflated, “The marriage has not yet been fixed, it will be three months later.”
The young master, I’m afraid it’s not possible to pay more silver, we are also concerned about the cost of doing business, if we pay more, we won’t make any money.”
“I don’t care, you must pay more silver anyway, or I’ll give you no end.”
“It’s really not possible to pay more silver, so if the cold skin and chilli oil sell well, I’ll ask for more every day, so they can make more money.”
Seeing that Gu Yi still didn’t say anything, the shopkeeper Wei added, “Young master, you shouldn’t make it difficult for me, if you really give more silver, the master won’t forgive me when he finds out.”
“Then, alright, anyway, you have to take more care of them in the future.”
“I understand, young master, don’t worry.”
……
The news that Yue Hakkai had ordered cold skin soon spread, and more people came over to eat it.
Within noon, more than a hundred cold skins were sold out, and those who had received the news but did not get to eat them asked if they would come back tomorrow.
“This is the same time and place, come early tomorrow, we don’t have enough hands at home, we can only make so many. If you come late, you still won’t be able to eat.” Song San Xiao straightened his back and said to the visitor with a joyful smile.
He had been in the county for several years, but his back had never been as straight as it was today.
“Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Second Brother, pack your things and wait for us here when you’re done, Third Uncle and I will go and buy some chillies and come back.”
Song Shu was a little uneasy.
He knew exactly what kind of virtue his third brother was, and if he got the urge to spend the silver, it would really add to their family’s woes.
“Second Uncle will go with you.”
Song Wangyue naturally knew what was on his mind, “Second Uncle, don’t worry, as long as Third Uncle dares to play with the silver, even if he hides in a rat hole, I will bring him out to Grandma.”
Song San Xiao was not happy to hear this, “Yue’er, what do you mean I’m hiding in a rat hole? I tell you, your third uncle I ……”
“Yue’er is right, if you dare to have any thoughts about these silver, not to mention mother, even big brother and I will not let you go.”
Song San Xiao how dare he, one old mother is enough for him, if he added big brother and second brother, he would be beaten to death alive.
He put on a smile, “Don’t worry, second brother, I know that this is money for saving Yue’er, I won’t spend a penny.”
Song Shu didn’t bother to look at his face, “Go now and come back early.”
The two of them left the market and Song San Xiao was just about to walk towards the shop where he had bought chillies last time, when he noticed Song Wan Yue taking a step in another direction and hurriedly called out to her, “Yue’er, that’s wrong, it’s this way.”
“Go to the medicine shop first.”
Song San Xiao was puzzled, “What’s the point of going to the medicine shop, isn’t big brother’s leg healed?”
“Third Uncle don’t ask so many questions, just follow me there.”
“Yue’er, Yue’er ……”
Song Sanxiao subconsciously covered the silver in his arms with one hand and tugged her with the other, “Just don’t make it difficult for Third Uncle, if you can’t buy the chili back, Third Uncle will be killed.”
