Ugly Peasant Wife: Money Grubber

The boss calmly walked to the window again, curled his lips, and looked at the Aunt Yang with a blushing face. "Bring me the candied fruit that she just mentioned for me to taste."

"Yes, boss." Aunt Yang gave some instructions and after a while, a plate of dried fruits was served.

With two fingers, the boss picked up a piece, leisurely put it to his lips and took a bite.

He opened his mouth and spat. He looked extremely graceful.

Aunt Yang could only bury her head deeper into the ground as she said hesitantly, "Boss, the people we sent out did not find Fourth Prince's people at the Taibai County."

The boss let out a cold snort, and the light in his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Continue searching. He was heavily injured, and won't be able to run too far. He's definitely still within the Taibai County."

"But our people have been searching for four days. No news." The Aunt Yang said in a low voice.

"So what if it's four days? Even if you have to find the ends of the earth, you have to find him for me. "

"Yes, boss!" The boss's words scared the Aunt Yang and made him retreat.

When Yang Xinyu walked out of the Linghuan Tower s, she felt completely refreshed.

This trip was worth three taels of silver, which made her incredibly happy.

She touched her heavy waist, feeling the heroic spirit, patted her chest and said, "Younger Brother, we have money."

That thick voice sounded as if it was afraid that no one would not know that she was rich.

Hee Zijun was afraid that Yang Xinyu's words would cause trouble, so he tugged on her sleeves, "Fifth Sister-in-law, lower your voice!"

Yang Xinyu looked around, and when she saw that someone was staring at him, she realized that her voice was getting louder.

As the saying goes, one cannot reveal his wealth. "Yang Xinyu lowered her voice and asked," Younger Brother, do you have something you want? Fifth Sister-in-law will buy it for you! "

Hee Zijun looked at Yang Xinyu with certainty, "I don't have anything much I want. Fifth Sister-in-law, save the money for us to use in the future!"

With that said, Yang Xinyu clearly saw him looking towards a bookstore by the side of the road.

The signboard of the bookstore was written by Chen, with the brush beginning and the silkworm beginning, as well as the quill ending. It could be described as a series of twists and turns.

Yang Xinyu could not help but think of a question, "Younger Brother, have you learned the calligraphy from your fifth brother?"

Just now, she said what she had learned from Hee Ziyuan, and it was all to scare Aunt Yang.

But Hee Zijun was different, maybe he had learned from Hee Ziyuan before.

This would explain why his eyes when he looked at the bookstore were filled with anticipation.

It was just like when a child saw something they liked, they were unable to conceal their inner thoughts.

Hee Zijun couldn't think of anything for a while, and mumbled, "Fifth brother said that even if he is poor, he still needs to be able to read, so he taught me some things. It's just that he left early when he was a soldier, and I was only 5 years old that year, so I don't know much about him."

Then, he reacted and covered it up with all his might, "Fifth Sister-in-law, I don't need to buy any books, I just casually swept a glance."

Yang Xinyu did not have the heart to poke a hole in him, and said: "I just so happen to want to buy a book to take a look, Younger Brother, you will follow me to the bookstore!"

Hee Zijun hesitantly looked at the bookstore's signboard. In the end, he was unable to overcome his heart's desire and entered the bookstore in two or three steps.

The bookstore was not too big, it was only thirty square meters. Thinking about it, in the bustling Anlin County, the land here was definitely not cheap.

The rent of thirty square meters wasn't too big, so it required quite a bit of money.

Yang Xinyu once again swept her gaze across the room.

She had seen it before when the branch families signed the agreement, this era where papers were already available.

If the Ephor Gu was able to afford it, the price shouldn't be too expensive.

At this time, Yang Xinyu purposely slowed down her pace and walked over to stand shoulder to shoulder with Hee Zijun, so that she could observe his expression.

Hee Zijun stopped in front of a bookshelf, and a Three Character Classic appeared in front of him.

He was stunned and his nose felt a little sore.

He remembered that when fifth brother left, he taught him the Three Character Classic and taught him half of it.

He had always been looking forward to the day when fifth brother would return and teach him the other half.

However, after fifth brother left, he never came back.

"Younger Brother, you like this book, don't you?" Yang Xinyu noticed his abnormality and extended her hand out to grab it.

There was only a "pa" sound.

Just then, a wooden ruler struck the back of Yang Xinyu's fat hand.

The back of Yang Xinyu's hand immediately turned red, and swelled up.

"Why did you hit my Fifth Sister-in-law?" Hee Zijun widened his eyes in anger.

The man with the wooden ruler had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, his eyes were round, as though he wanted to kick Yang Xinyu out. "I don't know where this beggar came from, and he didn't see the words at the entrance. Don't touch any books you don't want to buy, don't dirty my shop!"

Judging from his nervousness, he must be the shopkeeper of this bookstore.

When Yang Xinyu entered the door, she really did not see a single word.

When she heard this, she glanced back, a cold smile on her face, "You only said that you wouldn't touch it, but I want to buy this Three Character Classic!"

As soon as the two of them entered the store, they were noticed by the shopkeeper. He saw that the two of them were dressed in rags, so he could tell that they were poor families who couldn't read books. He thought that they had no money and wanted to steal books to sell them for a few silver coins.

He never thought that Yang Xinyu would actually know these words. Hearing her tone, she still wanted to buy books?

Could she afford it?

The shopkeeper firmly didn't believe her words, and even had a contemptuous look on his face, "Young lady's family should be taught by the husband at home. This is the first time I've seen someone take a baby and steal something."

It didn't matter if Yang Xinyu was mistakenly treated as a child's mother, she could not be slandered like that.

Her face darkened as she clenched the silver coin in her hand. "People have good reasons for talking. When did you see me steal anything?"

She paused, looked around, and raised her voice three to four times. "I said I want to buy books, but you beat me up and even slandered me. Is this the etiquette of a scholar?"

All of a sudden, the people who bought the books all looked towards the source of the noise.

With such a large Anlin County, government officials suppressed the citizens, the difference between the rich and the poor was huge, and scholars were naturally born superior.

They had an inexplicable sense of superiority. They felt that the poor were not worthy of studying at all, and only the descendants of wealthy families were worthy of being officials.

As a result, when they clearly saw Yang Xinyu's attire, most of the people let out cries of contempt.

They didn't believe Yang Xinyu at all, they only felt that Yang Xinyu was a vulgar peasant woman, that speaking to her would cause him to lose her identity as a scholar.

Naturally, there was no one here to speak up for Yang Xinyu.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper proudly waved the wooden ruler in his hand, "When did I hit you? When did I hit you? I saw you stealing my book, everyone here can testify for me!"

In the end, Hee Zijun was still a child. Seeing such a cruel reality, he was so angry that his entire body trembled, "Fifth Sister-in-law, they are too much.

Without waiting for Yang Xinyu to speak, the shopkeeper snorted: "Go! "You'd better go and report this to the officials right now and have them punish you for stealing things!"
