The cannon fodder of fast time travel has to struggle

Chapter 19 Counterattack Cinderella (21)

Several people looked back and saw that the old woman who had been sipping tea at the table came behind them at some point. When Xiang Wan and Xiang Xia looked over, she nodded slightly to them and frowned at the shopkeeper: "Look. These two little girls don't seem to be short of money. I'm afraid they encountered something and it's not as convenient as the shopkeeper's. I let them go and I paid for the meal for them."

Hearing this young voice at this time, even if it is a beggar saying this, the person being helped will feel like it is the sound of nature, not to mention that it is equivalent to saving a life, and his eyes will be filled with gratitude.

Unfortunately, Xiang Wan didn't think so.She quietly pulled Xiang Xia's hand and signaled her to be silent.

When the shopkeeper saw someone coming out to mediate, he frowned, as if he was unwilling to have his fat meat cut off. He let go of Xiang Wan's hand and said to the old woman, "Do you know how much they have to pay for food?" Money, can you afford it?”

"What can't you afford for just a meal?" The old woman seemed dissatisfied with the shopkeeper's attitude and frowned, "My home is not far from here. If you don't have enough money, you can ask the waiter to get it with me. "

"Well, they spent a total of 103 taels of silver. Since you want to pay for them, I won't be that evil person. I'll just erase the change and just pay 100 taels." The shopkeeper motioned to the waiter to bring the account book and handed it to the old woman. The person looked at it and put it back.

"A meal costs 100 taels, why don't you go and grab it?" When Xiang Wan heard that he wanted 100 taels of silver to settle the bill, he immediately lost his temper.Even if I knew this was a trap, I still had to break out.

She recalled the experience of going out for a festival in modern times and eating lobster for more than 1 yuan. Compared with that time, the methods of robbing customers here were even worse.

The higher the price was, probably it was to make her and Xiang Xia feel more grateful to the old woman who paid for them, and then fall into the cage she had carefully woven.

However, Xiang Wan still has to struggle a little more. If he takes it too seriously, it will inevitably become unreal.

"Little girl, you should be lucky if someone pays the bill for you. Besides, how much time have you wasted by making trouble here, and I don't have to pay?" The shopkeeper sneered, and then said, "It is only natural to pay back debts, if you If you don’t want to leave, I can just sell you to pay for it.”

"You..." Xiang Wan was so angry that he wanted to argue again, but Xiang Xia stopped him and shook his head at her.

When something like this happens, there is no other way but to admit that you are unlucky.This place is not as modern as you can call the police at any time.The two of them were unfamiliar with each other here, and now they were penniless. Xiang Xia's idea was to find a way to escape first, and then worry about it later.

"Okay, come with me to withdraw the money." After the old woman finished speaking, she motioned for the waiter to follow her and walked out.

Xiang Wan and Xiang Xia looked at each other and decided to wait here and let the waiter follow the old woman to get the money.

"Still not leaving?" the shopkeeper looked at the two of them coldly and said disdainfully, "You can't even afford a meal, and you still want to pretend to be a young lady. I paid the bill for you so kindly, are you still waiting for others to treat you to another meal? You’re really thick-skinned.”

Xiang Xia's face turned red when he heard this, and he pulled Xiang Wan and ran in the direction of the old woman.

The two of them were kicked out of the restaurant by the shopkeeper. They didn't see the look of regret and pride on the part of the shopkeeper behind them.Even if he saw it, Xiang Xia would probably just think that the shopkeeper was sorry that he didn't sell them, and he was proud to cheat a lot of money.

After all this fuss, the sky gradually darkened.The old woman walked leisurely. Xiang Xia was worried that she would not be able to find Qin's carriage, and she was also afraid that if they moved separately, they would not be able to find each other.After discussing while walking, they decided to go back with the old woman first, remember her home address, and then find a way to return the money after returning.

Along the way, Xiang Wan and Xiang Xia tried their best to chat with the old woman and learned that the old woman's husband's surname was Liu and that she moved here from another place.Mr. Liu was in business in his early years, but his business gradually declined. He wanted to return to his hometown and enjoy his old age. Unexpectedly, he fell ill and passed away on the way, leaving Mrs. Liu to take care of the home alone with several maids. She passed by Anyang City and bought a yard here. Lived.

Mrs. Liu had no heirs, so she couldn't bear to see Xiang Wan and Xiang Xia being made things difficult for them, so she came to help them.

When Xiang Xia heard this, she felt sympathy for Mrs. Liu and saw her generous help. Just when she didn't know how to repay her, she heard her say that she wanted the two of them to stay with her and talk to her all night.After Xiang Wan hesitated for a moment, he agreed.

If you want to see the subsequent moves, you can't refute the old woman's face.

The waiter took the money and glanced at them inexplicably before going out.Xiang Wan snorted coldly and turned away.
