Chapter 5 Zhou Si
"Miss Su..." Widow Li was secretly stopped by Su Luo when she was pressing her fingerprints. She saw Su Luo pressing her fingerprints while turning around, and she felt something was wrong.
"Didn't Xiangji say that he would pay for you to go to Nanjing? Just think of it as his travel expenses." Looking at Widow Li's embarrassing face, Su Luo smiled, "Of course you don't have to go, it's up to you."
Widow Li was in a trance for a moment, "But...but this contract, there are so many people watching..."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Su Luo laughed. "Then find an excuse for yourself. I set the price and I pressed the fingerprints. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, what credibility can you talk about with a profiteer? Hai Qingtian has always punished evildoers. This time someone died, and the profiteer intended to settle it with money. I think this is the thing that Hai Qingtian can't tolerate the most." Widow Li was still a little hesitant. Su Luo snorted and didn't want to say anything more. She waved her hand, pulled Su Yi and was about to leave.
Widow Li called out, "Miss Su! Miss Su...thank you..."
Su Luo did not look back, on the contrary she quickened her pace. She did not need any thanks, nor did she want to hear any excuses for the helplessness of life. She stepped forward to bargain for Widow Li because she was willing to do so, because she wanted to find a sense of integration into the times, and it had nothing to do with justice. Just as Widow Li knew that she would be looked down upon if she compromised, but still couldn't bear to give up those copper coins, she wanted to live, which was to recognize the reality, and there was nothing wrong with that. As for whether Widow Li would go to Nanjing to file a complaint after taking the money, it was not within the scope of Su Luo's service.
She is just like this, she does whatever she wants, at first it was because she wanted to attract some people's attention, gradually the deliberateness turned into a habit, and the habit turned into nature, and the name Su Luo became a synonym for spontaneous. After returning here, she still did not lose her habit, and she did not want to lose it. It is a very comfortable thing to be able to live spontaneously.
Pulling Su Yi around the market and asking about the market prices of firewood, rice, oil and salt, Su Luo squatted in the corner, picked up a wooden stick and did calculations on the ground. He was used to using RMB and had no idea about copper coins and silver, so he decided to convert them to have a rough idea.
Su Yi watched for a while, and seeing Su Luo drawing talismans on the ground, he couldn't help but worry. He stood up and pulled Su Luo's clothes, "Sister, go and see if Brother Zhou is back." He always remembered to ask Su Luo to comfort Brother Zhou's wounded heart.
"No." Su Luo said without raising her head, "Go to him later and get the evidence back."
Su Yi was anxious, "Sister, why don't you know how to seize the opportunity?"
Su Luo looked up helplessly, waved at Su Yi, and asked him to squat down, "Okay, even if I liked Brother Zhou before, I don't like , so you should worry less."
Su Yi thought for a long time, and suddenly became serious, "Sister, do you really not like Brother Zhou anymore?"
Seeing him suddenly become serious, Su Luo became curious, "What did I do before that made you think I like him?"
"If you didn't like him, why would you give him all our money for safekeeping? Sister, don't be discouraged just because Brother Zhou asked Miss Xie to marry him. He's a good person..."
Su Luo stood up suddenly, so suddenly that she felt a little dizzy, but she still heard the first half of the sentence clearly, "All our family's money is with him?"
Su Yi was startled and answered, "I secretly saw you give him money once." After he said that, he regretted it and covered his mouth, looking at Su Luo carefully.
Su Luo put her hands on her hips and paced twice, looking like a shrew scolding on the street, how shameful! Before this, she thought that although this family was poor, it was still full of humanistic care, so she hypnotized herself every day to force herself to accept the current situation of being penniless, thinking about not disappointing Su Luo's dedication to the family and not marrying, thinking hard about the way to a well-off life every day. I didn't expect that this unmarried old girl actually used the money she worked hard to earn to support the family to support a gigolo, no wonder she searched the house and didn't find a single copper coin.
"Xiao Yi!" Su Luo rolled up his sleeves boldly, but then he felt that the weather was not suitable for boldness, so he put them down again, but still pointed in the direction the two came from and shouted, "Go to Zhou's house and ask for money!"
There were not many people on the street at this time, and there were also fewer vendors setting up stalls. They might have gone home to eat, but there was a person standing in the direction that Su Luo's finger was pointing.
The man was about 23 or 24 years old, male, wearing a washed-out green robe, carrying a fishing rod, two small fish in one hand, and some neatly wrapped gifts in the other. The most eye-catching thing was the few strings of copper coins hanging around his neck, which looked quite like metal rock.
The world is really small, and Baolai Village is even smaller, so small that as soon as you mentioned this person, this person had heard it and ran to you.
Brother Zhou.
Su Luo heard Su Yi call him that.
Life is full of ups and downs. After Su Luo confirmed the other party's identity, he didn't even say hello, but stared straight at the few strings of copper coins hanging on Zhou Chongwen's body.
"Miss Su." A peaceful and warm voice sounded in Su Luo's ears. The voice reminded Su Luo of the male host of "Midnight Soul Match".
Su Luo then looked up and took in his appearance. Gentleness was the first impression Zhou Chongwen gave her, and the second impression was elegance.
It's very strange. When people meet, their first impression should come from their appearance. Zhou Chongwen is fair and handsome. If he dresses up four hundred years later, he can run for Super Boy or Super Girl. But Su Luo obviously saw his inner temperament. Temperament is not something that everyone has, but Zhou Chongwen has it.
This made Su Luo curious about Zhou Chongwen's origins. With just one sentence and one encounter, Su Luo concluded that he was definitely not a native villager.
No wonder Su Luo wanted to give him money. Compared with the villagers who were just watching the fun , Zhou Chongwen's level was obviously much higher than them. It seemed that he was educated, but this was what Su Luo despised the most. He was educated but still a gigolo. She suddenly felt that the failure of this guy's marriage proposal might have nothing to do with money. It was very likely that Mr. Xie had seen through Zhou's bad character a long time ago, so he deliberately made things difficult for him.
Su Luo had a rough evaluation in her mind, but she didn't show it. She called "Brother Zhou" with a smile, and then went straight to the point, saying that I had put some money in your place before, and now I want to take it back. Although Su Luo didn't know how much money Su Luo had given away before, considering that Zhou Chongwen couldn't even take out the ten taels of money for marriage proposal, it shouldn't be too much, so she used offense as defense and planned to let Zhou Si take the initiative to show his bottom line.
Su Luo was already prepared for a battle of words, so when Zhou Si nodded happily and asked her to go home with him to get it, Su Luo almost stuck her tongue out.
There is a conspiracy, maybe a beauty trap.
Su Luo pointed at the copper coins on Zhou Chongwen's body, meaning that you have them ready-made, so why are you going back home?
Zhou Chongwen smiled kindly and said, "I have recorded the accounts, and I have to let you see them to feel at ease."
Su Luo understood this guy's trick at that time. It seems that Su Luo and Zhou Si had had more than one transaction. It is not known whether it was a physical transaction or a spiritual transaction, but it is obvious that Zhou Si is very scheming kept an account and maybe even asked Su Luo to sign a contract, saying that both the physical and financial transactions were settled and he could not regret it.
Su Luo hardly had any mental struggle and decided that if he saw something like a signed paper, he would not admit it. There was no need to be honest with unscrupulous merchants or gigolos.
