Chapter 180: Losing face is better than losing life

Gu Xiaoxi felt that the man definitely had no good intentions, so she asked Mrs. Tan to go back first and she followed him quietly.

Tan Youcai had heard that the couple wanted to buy the shop a long time ago, but he didn't do it because he didn't have enough money.

When he heard that Gu Xiaoxi had appeared just now, he couldn't help but come over with some worry.

Seeing the shop owner, he asked anxiously, "Boss Zhou, please don't sell your shop for eighty taels. That would be a huge loss. How much is this shop worth?"

snort!

After hearing this, Boss Zhou snorted coldly and asked, "Will you buy it for one hundred taels?"

Tan Youcai's face looked a little ugly. Let alone a hundred taels, he had lost all his money gambling a few days ago and now he couldn't even take out ten taels.

If it weren't for the twenty taels in his wife's hands, he would be starving now.

"I, I'm doing this for your own good, isn't it?" he said confidently.

However, Boss Zhou was not tolerant at all. He coldly waved his hand and cursed: "Get away from me! It's strange that a gambler like you has money!"

Gu Xiaoxi almost laughed out loud while hiding in the dark.

I didn’t expect that Boss Zhou has such a positive outlook on life!

After Tan Youcai left in disgrace, she walked out from the dark.

Boss Zhou saw Gu Xiaoxi and walked up to her with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, I don't need to associate with that kind of person."

"I can see that you are an upright person. Your future will definitely get better and better!" Gu Xiaoxi praised him without hesitation.

Boss Zhou smiled and bowed: "Thank you for your good wishes, thank you for your good wishes!"

The two talked for a while, and then Boss Zhou hurried back to pack his luggage and left.

Gu Xiaoxi returned to Mrs. Tan's shop and told her third brother to help Mr. Tan with his work while she and Mrs. Tan went to clean the shop over there.

They try to clean the shop today so that they can move the goods in tomorrow.

At noon, the two returned to the shop to help and told all the customers that Mrs. Tan's stall had moved to the store, and even if Gu Xiaoxi and the others didn't come, the store would still have dried tofu for sale.

"So will we be able to buy dried tofu every day in the future?" asked a scholar.

"I can only say that I will try my best. Since I have farm work to do at home, I will do as much as I can right now." Gu Xiaoxi didn't dare to guarantee that there would be work every day. What if there were any special circumstances?

After noon, the stall gradually became quiet, so Mrs. Tan and her friends simply closed the stall early and moved it to the new shop. The four of them cleaned it inside and out.

"Xiaoxi, you know a lot of words, so can you come up with a name for our store?" said Brother Tan.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't refuse and gave them a name for the shop: "Let's call it Husband and Wife Noodle House. A husband and wife working together can achieve great things!"

"Okay, let's call it Husband and Wife Noodle Shop. We will pay you back the money we owe you as soon as possible." Mrs. Tan said happily.

"There's no rush to pay me back. We're going to continue our cooperation anyway. When you make money, pay off all the foreign debts first, and then we can make more money together." Gu Xiaoxi told Mrs. Tan.

Um!

Mrs. Tan nodded repeatedly.

After working until the evening, Mrs. Tan insisted on treating Gu Xiaoxi and Gu Nanming to a meal.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't refuse, so she found a pub and the four of them sat down to eat and drink a few glasses of wine.

Gu Xiaoxi found that the wine in the tavern was not tasty, and she wondered if the wine in the bigger restaurant would be better?

After eating and drinking, the couple sent them out of the city and drove back in the carriage.

Gu Nanming drank a few glasses and couldn't be exposed to the wind, so Gu Xiaoxi drove the car on the road.

However, just as they got off the main road, several robbers emerged from the bushes.

"If you want to pass through here, leave some money for the passage!"

"Yo, and a pretty little girl?"

"Girls, let's play first!"

Whoosh whoosh…

Gu Nanming was fast asleep in the carriage and didn't even hear the loud voices outside.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the carriage helplessly and shook her head. She then looked at the idiots who were robbing and said, "Do you really want to end this?"

"Don't worry, we will make the girl happy!" One of the men looked at Gu Xiaoxi and swallowed his saliva.

"I like money. Do you have money?" Gu Xiaoxi smiled mischievously.

Hehehe…

The men burst into laughter after hearing this.

Gu Xiaoxi jumped off the carriage. The man who had just spoken said, "We have money, so why would we use it to rob people? She's another woman who's greedy for money. Damn it!"

After he said that, he pounced on Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi dodged easily, and the man was knocked to his knees.

Gu Xiaoxi saw the man lying down and stepped on his back.

ah……

The man screamed in pain and realized that this woman was no ordinary person.

When the other men saw that this woman was no ordinary person, they all rushed towards her.

However, the scream just now finally woke up Gu Nanming who was sleeping.

Realizing something was wrong, he opened the curtain and saw five men surrounding his sister.

Seeing this, he hurriedly jumped off the carriage to deal with the robbers.

Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to end the battle quickly, but when she saw her third brother getting off the carriage, she decided to let him practice.

He slapped three of them away and left two for the third brother to deal with.

Gu Nanming was a little nervous when he first fought with these people, but later he found that he didn't need to be nervous at all after using Professor Xiaoxi's fists and feet.

These robbers were just ordinary bandits who had almost no martial arts skills and were just used to fighting.

Seeing that his brother was getting stronger and stronger, Gu Xiaoxi kicked the one under his feet over.

About half an hour later, Gu Nanming was exhausted, but he managed to knock down all five robbers.

"Do you want to take out the silver on you, or do you want us to search it?

Take it out yourself and avoid a beating. We'll search it out and beat you up, and we'll definitely not show mercy!" Gu Xiaoxi said nonchalantly.

The bandits were a little confused when they heard this. They came here to rob, but now they were being robbed instead.

So shameful!

It’s better to lose face than to lose your life!

In order to survive, the five bandits had no choice but to take out all the silver and money on their bodies and put them on the ground.

After robbing them, Gu Xiaoxi spat out two words in a heartbreaking tone: "How poor!"

Woohoo…

If you are not poor, you don’t need to rob!

The bandits all wanted to cry.

Gu Nanming couldn't believe that Xiaoxi was so tough and could perform such an amazing trick. He couldn't react for a while and was finally stuffed into the carriage by Gu Xiaoxi.

"You drive the carriage!" Gu Xiaoxi walked into the carriage and counted the silver, which was just over three taels.

She took out two taels and gave them to her third brother: "Take it, everyone who sees it will get a share. Don't tell your parents when you go back, so they don't worry."

"No, no, no, I don't want it. I'm happy to have a chance to practice." Gu Nanming was still immersed in the fight just now, gesturing while driving the carriage.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't care what her third brother was happy about. She stuffed the silver into his hand and told him to go in and continue sleeping while she drove the car.

At this time, it was dark. Chen Qinian and Chen San were waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village. It seemed like something had happened.
