Chapter 245: Every Step is Immoral
"She can't tell east, west, south, or north, but she can tell left from right. When she said left, she meant walking left out of the mansion gate, which means east. Our little genius doctor Jin's next bad love... happens to be in the east~"
After hearing this, Bi'er also became curious: "Princess, don't you want to go and take a look?"
Bu Ruo shook her head: "I want to, but we can't go. If we go for two days, it will be no fun. But I can tell you first, our little doctor Jin's peach blossom is in trouble this time... It's a big one~"
It would have been fine if Bu Ruo hadn't said anything, but after hearing what she said, Bier became even more curious.
…
"Brother, candied haws."
"purchase."
"Brother, osmanthus cake."
"purchase."
"elder brother……"
"purchase."
Xiao Jin is a man who dotes on his sister. As long as Bu Bu asks for something, he will never refuse, let alone just spending a little money.
Bu Ruo would also give them silver from time to time, for example, if they helped to get some fruit, move a small stool, go to bed on time, or massage their legs, he would reward the two little ones with silver every time and let them keep it themselves.
Bu Bu spent money lavishly, especially when he saw food, he could hardly walk. He never had enough money to spend. Xiao Jin's money naturally became a reserve for his sister, and he was willing to spend it.
Jin Congcong followed along and ate and drank for free, saying that Meiying didn't like it anyway and the two children couldn't finish it.
The two adults and two children ate as they walked until they were tired and went into a teahouse to rest for a while.
"Hey, you, why don't you pay for tea and snacks?"
"I don't care, you have to give me money. This is in Kyoto. If you don't give me money, I will report you to the police."
A woman dressed as a maid and carrying a bag looked unhappy: "I... I forgot to bring it when I went out. Please wait three days, and I will have someone bring it to you after three days."
The waiter looked the woman up and down and sneered, "Send it in three days? How do I know who you are? Send it in three days. If you don't come, where will I find you?"
"I...I can write you an IOU."
"I'm sorry, but we don't accept credit for small business. You'd better find a way to pay the money quickly."
The woman was anxious: "Why are you like this? Why don't you know how to adapt? Didn't I tell you that I can write you an IOU and send it to you in three days? Why are you still so persistent? Can't I give you a little more in three days?"
"It's not that I don't have any money, I just forgot to bring it with me when I left in such a hurry. How about this, I won't leave. Isn't this an inn up there? I'll stay here and leave when the money is delivered. That way you don't have to worry about me running away."
The waiter slammed his hands on the table in anger, "Do you think I'm stupid? You're eating and drinking for free, and now you want to stay for free. You can't even pay for tea and snacks with your luggage, so you have nowhere to stay even if you leave. You're trying to cheat me."
"You...you are so bold!"
"I'm bold? You're the bolder one! I've never seen anyone eat for free and act so confidently. If you don't give me this money today, we'll go see the official!"
The woman was also anxious: "Your shabby shop, I am giving you face by letting me in to drink tea. If you know what's good for you, please let me go immediately, otherwise I will tear down your shabby teahouse in a few days!"
Jin Congcong stood at the door, frowning as he watched the two people arguing inside. He said, "Look at this little girl carrying a bag, she must be here to seek refuge with her relatives. Everyone has difficulties. I'll pay for her, and you, Xiao Er, can let her go."
Phantom: ...
The waiter was just a laborer, so he was naturally happy to hear someone pay money. "Okay, as long as you pay the money for this girl, we will let her go. We promise not to make things difficult for her or report her to the authorities."
"I'm also a laborer. If the shopkeeper knew that someone was eating for free without paying, I would be the one to leave. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I rely on this job to earn money to support my family. Please understand."
Jin Congcong acted like a savior: "I understand. Tell me, how much silver is it in total? I'll pay for this girl."
"Okay, young man, you look so handsome and you're obviously a good person. Good people are rewarded. I'll give you eight taels of silver."
Jin Congcong: ...
"How many?"
"Eight taels of silver~"
Jin Congcong's eyes almost popped out of his head: "Didn't she just drink a pot of tea and eat a few plates of snacks? How come it's eight taels so much?"
The waiter pointed upstairs and said, "She asked for the best room upstairs. She drank Junshan Yinzhen and ordered all four of our signature cakes."
"Old customers who frequently come to our teahouse know that our pastries are all made fresh daily with fresh milk. We can only make so much each day, and the chef was hired from Jiangnan at great expense. All prices are clearly marked, and we don't charge anything arbitrarily. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the menu..."
Jin Congcong's face flushed red. He only had two taels of silver now. He thought that no matter how much a little girl ate, it would probably only cost one tael of silver. But he didn't expect... Not only did the little girl have no money, but she also chose to eat expensive food.
"Sir, you..."
Jin Congcong coughed lightly: "I'll pay, you wait a moment."
After saying that, he turned to look at Bu Bu with a flattering face: "Bu Bu, look how pitiful that sister is, let's help her pay the silver, okay?"
"Your mother always said that we should accumulate more merits and help the poor people to the best of our ability. Now that the young lady is in trouble, shouldn't we help her?"
Bu Bu nodded firmly: "Yes."
Seeing that Bubu agreed, Jin Congcong continued to persuade him: "Then Bubu should also contribute some money. After all, whoever contributes the money gets the merit. Senior Brother can't take all the merit for himself. He should share some with Bubu and Jiner."
"It's eight taels in total. Senior brother will contribute two taels, and you and Jin will each contribute three taels. Okay? All the great merit will go to you and Jin."
The reason why Jin Congcong discussed with Bu Bu was because he knew that Bu Bu had always been in charge of Xiao Jin's money, and all the money given by his master today was in Bu Bu's hands, so he just had to convince Bu Bu.
But he forgot that Bubu has been a complete money-grubber and miser since he was a child. When he was just a few months old and still held by Bier, he held onto Bu Ruo's most valuable hairpin and refused to let go, and no one could get it back no matter what.
Bu Bu narrowed his eyes, and his expression was exactly the same as Bu Ruo's.
"To my senior brother, my mother said that every step is not lacking in virtue, and my brother is not lacking in virtue, but my senior brother is lacking in virtue."
"Bu Bu and my brother won't compete with my senior brother."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Look, Bubu, I'm your senior brother and I have to think about you. Of course, the more merits the better. Be good, Bubu, let's help that young lady, okay?"
"good."
"That silver..."
"The money belongs to Bu Bu! Bu Bu is not wicked, so please help me, brother."
Jin Congcong: ...
I would like to help, but I don’t have enough money.
