He touched the coat on the woman. The material was silky and very good, but it was just a plain piece of clothing without even a pattern or embroidery. How much could it be sold for?

He had seen the clothes of the noble ladies in the county town, which were embroidered with flowers in all sorts on the finest silk, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off them, yet they cost only a few taels of silver.

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open and a rough-looking man walked in. As soon as he came in, he shouted in surprise, "Brother Chong, you picked up a treasure this time. The clothes were exchanged for ten taels of silver at the clothing store!"

Meng Chong, "..."

A faint blush appeared on his expressionless face, and he looked embarrassed.

Xiao Tu didn't look at him, but just touched his chin, "Only ten taels?"

Hearing her voice, the two people in the yard looked over at the same time.

The man's eyes were filled with amazement, and he couldn't help but ask, "This must be the girl that Xiaocao picked up, right?"

He sighed and said, "This girl is really pretty, no wonder Xiaocao always calls her Fairy Sister~"

But he only glanced at it twice more, then walked forward and handed the silver to Meng Chong, saying in a hoarse voice, "Brother Chong, take this money. After deducting the money you borrowed before, there are still four taels here. Uncle Niu and I are still busy at home, so I will go back first!"

After that, he paused and whispered, "This girl your family picked up is so pretty. You must have a good talk with her. It's a mess out there now. Don't let her run out and get into trouble again!"

Meng Chong nodded when he heard this, as if he had agreed obediently, but only he knew what he was thinking.

After all, before the other party came, he was trying every means to drive the other party away!

As expected, as soon as the man left, the other party turned cold and handed the money directly to Xiao Tu, "I'll give you half of the silver, take the money and leave quickly."

Xiao Tu didn't take the money. Instead, she held up her chin with her little hand and blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "You change your expression very quickly. From what the uncle said just now, it wasn't you who saved me?"

Meng Chong said expressionlessly, "It's just right that you know this, so I won't keep you here, and I can't afford to keep you here. You should take the money and leave now!"

Xiaotu touched her cheek with her fingertips and raised her red lips, "You are very alert, what did you see?"

Meng Chong still had a cold face, "I didn't see anything, I just knew that the girl was of good status, and my family, who are poor and can't afford to offend her."

Xiao Tu smiled temptingly when she heard this, "Have you ever considered that if your family saved me, it might be a great thing?"

Meng Chong clenched his fist. He was not a man without ambitions, but he just didn't think he would be so lucky.

He didn't have the capital to gamble, so he lowered his eyes and said, "I don't ask for wealth and honor, I just want to live a stable life!"

Xiao Tu smiled when he heard that, then stood up and said slowly, "Being cautious is a good thing, but being too cautious is not good." As he passed by him, he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll only stay at your house for two days, and I'll definitely leave after two days~"

As he said this, he put his hands behind his back and began to wander around the yard leisurely.

Meng Chong looked at her quietly, his lips moved a few times, but he finally stopped talking.

This man looked a bit of a scoundrel, but he had a good temper. He spoke coldly to the other party, but the other party kept smiling and didn't seem angry.
