After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"Yes." The boy's eyes fell on the oil paper bag in Gu Ji's hand.

The fragrant aroma aroused the appetite in his stomach.

"Want to eat? Then you have to tell me first, how did you end up in such a situation?"

The little boy pursed his lips and looked away from the oil-paper bag. "My father disappeared, and my second uncle occupied my home and drove my mother, sister and me out. We had nowhere to go, so we had to seek refuge with my grandfather. But on the way, some villains robbed us of our money, and we had to sleep in the open all the way, which is why we are in this situation."

"Sister, we haven't eaten for two days. My mother is fainting from hunger. Can you give me two buns and lend me some money for the journey?"

Su Ruanruan touched her chin, "You are really pitiful, but I have never been kind, and I will never do business at a loss. I can give you the buns, I can also open a room for you and your son to rest for a night before you set off, and I can also give you enough money, but you have to promise me that you will pay me five times the money afterwards. Can you accept it?"

The little boy hesitated for only a moment before making up his mind, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

Su Ruanruan nodded, "Very good."

She stared into the boy's eyes and said word by word, "I know you don't have anything to mortgage to me, but I am willing to trust you with the greatest kindness. You won't let me down, right?"

The little boy bowed to Su Ruanruan and said, "Thank you for your generosity, sister. I will never let you down. I will repay you with a spring of gratitude."

"Sister, where can I find you then?"

Su Ruanruan smiled with satisfaction, "I believe you. Go to the largest tofu shop in the east of the city and find Su Ruanruan. If I'm not here, just find the shopkeeper Ziwu."

Gu Ji pulled Su Ruanruan's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Ruanruan, you are too kind-hearted. Things are much cheaper these days. Aren't you afraid that you will be wasting money and never come back? Besides, the place he is going is so far away. Where can you get the money to pay for their travel expenses?"

"Don't worry about the money. I have it here. Also, what you're worried about won't happen. I'm very good at judging people."

Although the little boy was wearing shabby clothes, he had an extraordinary demeanor and looked like the young master of a wealthy family.

It's just that something unexpected happened in the family, and this kind of "rich and powerful" struggle is found in storybooks.

The ancients paid attention to the matching of family backgrounds. Although his mother was ill, she could still be seen as a lady of rich family.

This noble attitude is ingrained in one's bones and cannot be acquired overnight.

So, she guessed that the little boy's grandfather must be a wealthy man.

She didn't lose anything from this investment.

Besides, even if the above conclusions are overturned and invalid, she believes that a filial child will not be too bad.

She took out two taels of silver from her bosom and gave it to Gu Ji. "There is an inn ahead. Please help him settle his mother and sister. Buy them three sets of clothes. You also know medical skills. Please help them. I will go to the inn to find you after I finish my business. Okay?"

Gu Jin pursed his lips, "Oh no, I finally got out with you."

Su Ruanruan pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Good brother, just obey me, I will buy you some candied haws later."

"I don't want candied haws." Gu Ji's eyes were indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Then what do you want?"

"I want……"

Su Runrun blinked and looked at him curiously, but she didn't expect that he would kiss her on the cheek so quickly that it was impossible to react.

He grabbed the stunned boy and ran away quickly.

Su Ruanruan: ...

Only Su Ruanruan was left standing alone on the street in a mess.

She didn't have anything to do, except that she met an "acquaintance".

Some things you have to face sooner or later.

She slowly raised her head and met a pair of smiling eyes and another pair of calm eyes.

In fact, she had already noticed him at that time, but because his gaze was so sharp, it was difficult for her not to notice him.

She went upstairs nervously and looked for the private room on the second floor.

After hesitating at the door for a while, he finally knocked on the closed door.

But I heard a voice from inside: "Get out!"

Even with a door between us, the anger could no longer be suppressed.

"Neuropathy!"

Su Ruanruan walked away, cursing. She owed him a gem, but that didn't mean she deserved to be humiliated by him again and again. She still remembered that he bullied her in the grove.

But the next second, the door opened and a man in a dark blue brocade robe came out. He had fair skin, a pair of sparkling peach eyes, and a faint smile on the corners of his lips.

He made a gesture of invitation. Su Ruanruan raised her eyes to look at the man sitting in a chair drinking tea and paused.

Across the threshold, Su Ruanruan touched her chin with guilt, "Sir, I went to that place again today, but I didn't find what you lost. I also know that it is very important to you and it is very valuable, but even the most valuable things have their value... I really have nothing to compensate you."

"How about you name a price? I'll write you an IOU? I'll definitely pay you back bit by bit."

Wei Zheng looked at the two people with a confused look on his face, but he didn't know that they not only knew each other, but also seemed to have something interesting happen that he didn't know about.

Huo Yan was already in a bad mood, but when he heard her mention the dagger, he immediately threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. The crisp sound startled the other guests.

They all stretched their necks to look over here. Su Runrun's face immediately turned red, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"Go away, I told you to go away, are you deaf?"

Su Ruanruan lowered her eyes and said, "Sorry to bother you."

She quickly went downstairs and came out of the restaurant.

Although she is very poor now, she doesn't want to owe anything to others.

She couldn't return the original item and could only use silver instead. Was she wrong?

He doesn't even know how much his repeated shouts of "get out" hurt people's self-esteem?

"Cried?"

Su Ruanruan raised her head, only to see that the man with the captain had already chased out.

Su Ruanruan shook her head. "Which eye of yours saw me crying? I was just blinded by the wind and sand."

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, "I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Wei and my given name is Zheng. May I know your name, young lady?"

Su Ruanruan stopped talking.

Wei Zheng smiled awkwardly, "Miss, please don't misunderstand me. It's just that I happened to hear the competition between you and the boy. I was just curious about who you are and why you are so talented."

Su Ruanruan then looked him in the face. "I am just an ordinary farm girl, and I have not read much. It was only when I was selling tofu in the city that I met a talented scholar. He became my mentor and taught me how to read and write. The two poems you just heard were just what I happened to hear when he was reciting poems with his classmates. I didn't expect that I would actually use them today."

Wei Zheng understood and asked, "What about the missing penny?"

Su Ruanruan smiled faintly, "This is what I heard from everyone when I was selling tofu in the streets. If you change your way of thinking, the mystery will be solved. It's just like being a person. Sometimes when you reach a dead end, you should turn back and find a new way out."

Su Ruanruan saw Gu Ji walking towards her, so she said goodbye, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I won't bother you anymore."

Wei Zheng watched the two figures leave side by side, then turned around and went upstairs again.
