Chapter 1966 Da Bao Carries the Big Bag

Erniu sighed, looking dejected. "His money bag was still intact, so the three of us used his money and were very frugal. We couldn't even afford a chicken leg."

Da Bao said angrily, "A Rui is so unfair. He's really good at hiding money. The money bag hanging on his waist was stuffed with small stones and a few copper coins, but his whole body was filled with real money."

He was stunned when he saw it: copper coins he pulled from his sleeves while eating, loose silver from his belt while staying at a hotel, silver notes from a hollow wooden hairpin while buying things, and loose change in his shoes, collar, the gaps in his satchel, and the covers of his books.

Da Bao said, "I don't know how he can be so cunning at such a young age, and how he knows how to hide money so well."

Shu Rui said smugly, "This is all based on my life experience. When we were in exile, it was much more chaotic than here. Besides, if I hadn't hidden the money so well, the three of us would have starved."

Shu Yu turned her head to look at Ying Dong. Ying Dong always accompanied the three boys when they went out.

However, Shu Yu had already instructed that Ying Dong was only responsible for their safety, and that they should decide for themselves everything else, such as whether they had money for food, travel, or socializing.

Therefore, even if his money was stolen or he was cheated, Ying Dong could only... watch from the sidelines with heavy hearts.

Seeing the young lady looking over, Ying Dong nodded, "Indeed, the three young masters have had a very difficult trip."

Da Bao nodded in grief and indignation, "That's right, we still have to go and earn money. I even have to help people carry heavy bags. If my mother knew how much suffering I've endured, she would cry herself blind."

"Carrying heavy bags?" Meng Han found it exciting. "You guys actually went to carry heavy bags?"

This time, even Shu Rui and Er Niu felt embarrassed. They had no choice but to be more frugal.

The main problem was that their money was stolen and they were scammed, all due to their own mistakes. After only two days out, the three of them were left with only a single purse. They were all people who cared about their reputation; how could they give up because of a small setback?

If they go out for two days and then come home, wouldn't people laugh at them if they asked?

Although Shu Rui still had money, it was definitely not enough for three people, so after thinking it over, they decided to go and earn money themselves.

They weren't exactly rich kids, so they didn't feel any pressure to find work; having money was the most important thing.

Aside from Da Bao, he really hadn't suffered much hardship. But compared to going back and being laughed at by Shu Yu, it wasn't a big deal for him to do some small errands like running errands or delivering letters to earn a little money.

Who knew he would end up carrying heavy bags? Da Bao cried uncontrollably that night.

Even so, the three young boys, who were not very old, were disliked after carrying heavy bags all day, and were no longer needed the next day.

Later, they washed dishes and did odd jobs for others. They didn't earn much, but at least they got a taste of the hardships of adulthood.

It was at this time that they encountered Xun Sheng.

Xun Sheng was very curious as to why they had come here looking for work. Had something happened to the county magistrate's family?

The three of them were too embarrassed to admit that their money had been stolen or they had been scammed, so they said they had come out specifically to experience the various aspects of life.

Xun Sheng believed it when he saw that Ying Dong was following behind them and did not offer any help.

He later told the three that there would be a poetry gathering soon and invited them to attend.
