After Jiang Yaojie heard Jiang Ling's order, he picked up the abacus and began to count the copper coins on the table.

Jiang Ling leaned back on the chair and continued to take a nap.

"Ah! Mother!" Jiang Yaojie screamed suddenly, almost frightened Jiang Ling to sit on the ground.

Jiang Ling frowned, covered her chest, and moved her eyes to Jiang Yaojie. Jiang Yaojie's expression was a little excited, and his breathing became a little short.His whole body trembled a little, and he walked towards Jiang Ling with the same hands and feet.

This was the first time that Jiang Ling had such a reaction when she saw Jiang Yaojie. She asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong with Yaojie?"

"Mom... earning... making money." Jiang Yaojie was so excited that even his voice trembled.

"Make money? This is not the first time." Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Yaojie with a puzzled expression and whispered.

"No, mother! It's really a lot of money!" Jiang Yaojie said excitedly, pointing to the most hidden table.

"A lot?" Jiang Ling hammered her trembling calf and tried to stand up and came to the corner with Jiang Yaojie.

The copper plate in the corner hit the table.

"Mother! There are a total of nine hundred copper coins here! We earned nine hundred copper coins in an hour and a half! In this way, nine hundred copper coins per day, nine thousand in ten days! Wouldn't it be a month..." Speaking of this Jiang Yaojie quickly figured out his plan.

Jiang Ling wanted to say 30 copper plates, that is, [-] taels of silver, but Jiang Ling held back. After all, Jiang Ling planned to hand over all these transactions to Jiang Yaojie in the future!

"Mother! It's 20 coppers a month! Even if we deduct [-] coppers as the cost, we can earn at least [-] taels a month from this shop alone. That's not counting the shops I usually talk about." Business!" Jiang Yaojie became more and more excited as he spoke.

Jiang Ling just wanted to rest now, she yawned and looked at Jiang Yaojie and said: "Yaojie, this copper plate plus the copper plate you delivered before will save a tael of silver, and the remaining copper plate will be your pocket money. You're not too young, you should save up some money yourself!"

Jiang Yaojie nodded and carefully walked towards the bank with the copper plate.

"Sorry, it's closed today, come back tomorrow!" Not long after Jiang Yaojie left, a sound of messy footsteps came from far and near. Jiang Ling thought it was a diner, so he closed his eyes and said without looking up.

"Save... save me!"

Jiang Ling only felt that someone rushed towards him like a gust of wind, and then his clothes were grabbed fiercely.

Jiang Ling was startled, and opened her eyes suddenly, only to see a teary-eyed girl in ragged clothes begging herself.

"What are you?" Jiang Ling was a little dazed, and she looked at the girl suspiciously.

Just as the girl was about to answer, there were suddenly hurried footsteps and noisy people at the door of Jiang Ling's shop.

The girl shuddered when she heard it, and hid behind Jiang Ling's counter without hesitation.

"Hey...you..." Just as Jiang Ling was about to say something, a man with a thick face and a scar on his face rushed to Jiang Ling aggressively.

"Hey, do you see a little girl?" The man's tone was very unfriendly, even full of threats.

Jiang Ling calmly said: "Brother, if you want to find someone, you should go to the government, not my snack bar!"

"You...stinky bitch, don't toast or eat fine wine, I'm asking you, have you ever seen a little girl!" The man scolded impatiently.

"I've said it before, you're looking for someone to go to the government, not come here to mess with me!" Jiang Ling slapped the table fiercely and stood up.

"You..." The man glared at Jiang Ling angrily, and his original hand gradually clenched into a fist. At this moment, a tall, slender and pale man suddenly walked up to the leading man, and the two whispered.

The man's expression was obviously taken aback. He sized Jiang Ling up in surprise, and said through gritted teeth, "Okay! You'd better pray that the little girl isn't hiding with you, otherwise! Huh, you're the best!"

Then he turned around with a big hand and said to the people behind him, "Continue to search!"

The group of people left Jiang Ling's booth in a flash. Jiang Ling walked to the door and looked around. After confirming that the other party would not come back, he walked carefully behind the counter and whispered: "Okay, come out first." !"

The girl didn't seem to trust Jiang Ling very much. She kept looking at Jiang Ling with eyes full of fear, and at the same time shook her head from time to time.

"Mother, I'm back! Mother, I just heard from the owner of the bank that..."

Just as Jiang Ling and the girl were in a stalemate, Jiang Yaojie ran in from the door. He saw his mother standing at the counter, and walked straight in Jiang Ling's direction without thinking much.

When Jiang Yaojie walked up to Jiang Ling, the moment he saw a teary girl in ragged clothes, his heart suddenly jumped and his cheeks turned red.

He was dazed and quickly turned his back, closed his eyes tightly, and kept muttering: "See no evil! Do not see evil!"

The situation on the girl's side was not very good either. Jiang Yaojie's sudden appearance frightened the girl into a daze, and she cried out with a "wow" for a while.

The girl's crying sound was extremely penetrating. Jiang Ling was worried that the group of people would be brought back, so he knelt down and covered the girl's mouth and whispered to her: "Don't cry, if they lead you here, I want to help you." You can't help it! You promise me, if you don't cry, I will remove your hand!"

After a long time, the girl nodded slightly, and Jiang Ling slowly removed her hand from the girl's mouth.

"Help... help me!" The girl said tremblingly, her eyes were red and her lips were trembling.

"I can save you, but you have to tell me what happened to you! Otherwise, I won't help you!" Jiang Ling didn't want to involve himself, but finally agreed with a soft heart when he saw the girl's terrified eyes. .

"That group of people are thugs from Yihongyuan..."

"What? So it's you?" Jiang Yaojie suddenly turned around after the girl said something, and interrupted with a nervous expression.

"Turn around! Shut up!" Jiang Ling knew that a girl's reputation was very important in ancient times, especially now that the girl is still dressed in rags. If Jiang Yaojie sees something she shouldn't, then this matter can be big or small. Thinking of this, Jiang Ling quickly scolded.

Jiang Yaojie also realized that he had lost his composure, and turned around while covering his mouth.

"Yaojie, go to the door and watch out for me first. If you see a man with a scar on his face, come over and let me know!" Jiang Ling ordered.

Jiang Yaojie nodded and ran towards the door.

"Tell me! There is no one now!" Jiang Ling worried that the girl would feel uncomfortable after squatting for a long time, so she took the girl to the most hidden corner and said softly.

"I...Auntie, will you believe what I say?" The girl seemed to be a little worried, she looked around and quickly lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her tattered clothes.

"Tell me first, how would I know if you don't tell me?" Jiang Ling began to look carefully at the girl's clothes.
