Chapter 474 Good news?
He had touched the coat on the woman. The material was silky and very good, but it was just a simple plain coat without even a pattern or embroidery. How much could it be sold for?
He had seen the clothes of the ladies in the county town, embroidered with flowers in clusters on the finest silk, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off them, yet they only cost a few taels of silver.
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open and a burly man walked in. He exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Chong, you've found a treasure this time! I took that piece of clothing to the clothing store and it actually sold for ten taels of silver!"
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.
The man's eyes were filled with amazement, and he couldn't help but ask, "This must be the girl Xiaocao picked up, right?"
He sighed, "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 busy at home, so I will go back first!"
After saying that, he paused and whispered, "This girl your family picked up is so pretty. You have to have a good talk with her. It's a mess out there right now. Don't let her run out and get into trouble!"
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's face turned cold and he 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, saying, "You change your expression very quickly, little one. From what that 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. You should take the money and leave quickly!"
Xiao Tu raised her cheek with her fingertips and raised her red lips, "You are very alert, what did you see?"
Meng Chong's face remained stern. "I didn't see anything, but I knew she was of high status. We are a poor family that 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 ambition, 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 a peaceful 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 will 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 rogue, but he had a good temper. He spoke coldly to the other party, but the other party kept smiling and didn't seem angry.
