The next morning, with her younger brother's expectant eyes, Shen Wenjiao simply said hello to Grandma Liu and let her go home to rest for a day.

Granny Liu frowned, looked at Daidi who left happily without hesitation, and said with a slight warning.

"Miss, you are usually too nice to Dai Di. Little girls like them need to be controlled, otherwise their minds will wander sooner or later! The Shen family didn't invite them here to be treated like young ladies. It is only natural that they should do more work."

Although Shen Wenjiao felt Granny Liu's good intentions, Granny Liu's serious look was really scary. She quickly nodded to show that she understood.

"I know, grandma. This is all for Uncle Gu's sake! He is so diligent in taking care of his younger brothers and sisters~"

What Shen Wenjiao said was not wrong. There were not many masters in the Shen family, but there were a lot of things to do. Chunya was a little lazy, but now that her brother came, everyone felt a little more relaxed.

"Ah! Sister Daidi forgot something. I'll go give it to her~"

Shen Wenjiao's pretending made Grandma Liu, who had been fighting wits and courage with maids and old women in the inner house for half her life, unable to bear to watch.

However, she thought Shen Wenjiao wanted to go out alone and didn't expose her directly. She waved her hands tiredly. Girls are petty. I'll teach them slowly in the future! You'll know after you've suffered a loss~

"Go ahead, go ahead. Don't walk down the alleys alone. It's safer with patrolmen on the streets."

Although it was a bit chaotic these days, Grandma Liu thought the area where they lived was relatively safe, and she hadn't heard of any accidents happening to anyone. The money paid to the police station every year was not paid in vain. She just casually explained it.

"Thank you, grandma~" When Shen Wenjiao heard this, she knew that her excuse was very bad, and Grandma Liu saw through it.

But, hey, who cares whether the cat is black or white, as long as I can go out and act alone, it's fine.

Shen Wenjiao, carrying a cross-body bag, watched this era alone for the first time.

Xicheng is indeed a place where cultural people gather. Shen Wenjiao sighed silently in her heart as she walked. There are many bookstores, teahouses and so on of all sizes here.

Shen Wenjiao went out at the same time as Daidi. Not long after, Shen Wenjiao saw Daidi's figure from afar. She had just come out of a dim sum shop with a bag of dim sum in her hand.

"Brother, that girl finally came out alone!" The man named Shitou looked at Shen Wenjiao, who was jumping for joy on the road, with resentment. He had been pulling a rickshaw here for a month, and finally got the chance!

Yes, in order to hang around in this area frequently without being noticed by the patrol police, the two brothers spent a lot of money to make arrangements so that they could pull rickshaws in this area.

"Hiss~ This girl is amazing! The other children in her family go to school every day, but she stays at home all day. It seems that she is not favored~"

This man didn't know the specific situation inside the Shen family, but he had eyes to see! Shen Wenjiao's clothes were obviously not as good as Shen Wanting's, so it was easy to think wrongly. There were two similar girls in the same family, one was obviously more beautiful but her clothes were not as good as the other one. Doesn't this explain the problem?

"Yes! Who knows, maybe by taking this girl away we can help the lady a lot!" the man said meaningfully, and then he chuckled.

"Shitou, go and try to see if the girl wants to take a ride. This is on the street after all, it's not very convenient." The man looked at the people coming and going around him, and the shops with their doors wide open on both sides, and was very hesitant. They really didn't have the ability and courage to rob someone on the street!

Shitou nodded obediently, pulled the rickshaw a few steps and caught up with Shen Wenjiao who was looking around at the door of a western restaurant.

"Miss, do you want to take a ride?"

Shen Wenjiao looked at the rickshaw driver in surprise when he asked her if she wanted to take a ride. The driver's face was covered in sweat, and he had a yellowed cloth towel around his neck and a pair of half-worn black cloth shoes on his feet.

He looked very common, except that he seemed taller and stronger than the other drivers, with a simple and honest smile on his face.

"No thanks~" Shen Wenjiao was just out for a stroll, and would go to the post office to mail something and then go back. There was really no need to take a rickshaw. Besides, rickshaws these days were equivalent to taxis, and she didn't know the people there, so how could she dare to take a black car casually? Shen Wenjiao believed that she still had some awareness of prevention.

Shen Wenjiao's usual gentle thank you made Shitou's eyes flicker slightly. He looked at the fair and lovely girl in front of him and hesitated for a moment.

"Ah! Excuse me~" Shitou pulled the cart and ran a few steps, turning into the alley in front. After a while, the boss came over with a bad look on his face.

"That stupid girl just kept looking around on the street and refused to get on the bus. This is really difficult~"

Shi Tou thought of the soft and sweet thank you just now. If he had a daughter, she would probably be about this age.

"Brother, let it go if there's no chance this time!"

"What do you mean, forget it! Have you forgotten how much energy we have spent on this girl? If we can't do this job, our two months of hard work will be in vain!" The two of them have spent money and time to keep an eye on Shen Wenjiao for two months. In fact, Shen Wenjiao is good-looking, and the Shen family doesn't seem to pay enough attention to her. They can make a lot of money by trying it out.

"It's not all in vain! I've made quite a bit of money by pulling the rickshaw for most of the day! The gentlemen here are really generous with tips!" Shitou muttered to himself. Although he couldn't make as much money as they could by getting a girl from the countryside, he felt secure in his heart!

"Bullshit! If you keep pulling rickshaws like this, it will take you forever to save enough money! How nice it would be if we could do something big and return to our hometown to become small landlords!" The man was only trying to make big promises to Shitou, and kept muttering about saving money to become a landlord. But how much would be enough?

While the man was scolding the unpromising Shitou, his eyes never left Shen Wenjiao on the street. He had invested too much time and energy in this girl. Moreover, he didn't have time to make money slowly. He owed too much gambling debt. If he didn't pay it back, he would die. At that time, he would become a commodity in the gambling house. A place like a black coal mine would cost a person's life. He couldn't wait any longer.

Shen Wenjiao didn't feel at all that a pair of eyes in the dark were watching her all the time. After walking around and thinking about what she wanted to buy, Shen Wenjiao looked around and found a small alley to go into.

Shen Wenjiao looked around in the alley and walked a few more steps towards another corner. Well, this corner was just right, there would definitely be no one seeing her.

Shen Wenjiao glanced at the window with the curtains drawn tightly above her head. This was a blind spot, so there should be no problem! She was worried and focused on the system mall, placing an order for the item she had just taken a fancy to.
