What he didn't expect was that a few kids from the country could cause such a big trouble in the store.
The bookshelf collapsed and the books fell, which was not a big deal. What made him most upset was that a precious painting in the store was ruined and smeared with ink. What should he do?
When the shopkeeper comes back, he won't be able to keep his job, and he will be lucky if he doesn't have to pay money.
But he only earned two yuan a month, so how could he afford the compensation?
Li Mengyue ignored the servant's anger and prepared to take her three younger brothers to Tongxin Hall to check their injuries, just to make sure they didn't break any bones.
"Hey, how can you leave without paying the price?"
The servant in the bookstore stopped Li Mengyue and yelled at her to pay compensation.
"It wasn't me who knocked over the bookshelf, what does it have to do with me? If you want someone to pay you back, you should ask someone else for compensation. How ridiculous."
Li Mengyue pushed the servant aside and left with her three younger brothers. She had no intention of buying the books she was choosing.
Chen Bao watched people walk out of the door. He was so envious that the three little peasants had such a beautiful sister. Not only did the beautiful sister not scold them, but she also vented their anger for them.
He has only one older brother, who is more than thirty years older than him, and his brother and son are both married.
Although he was spoiled since childhood, he never experienced the love of his brothers or the care of his sisters.
When Li Mengyue took her three younger brothers out, Chen Bao remained silent. His servant, Awang, covered his chest and said cautiously, "Master, are we going back to pick someone up?"
Chen Bao reacted and said proudly: "Who are you? I can't beat you, so why do you say you are my father's father?"
Awang wanted to say yes, but when he saw his young master's grim expression, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and nodded, saying, "Yes, young master is right."
Chen Bao glanced at the bookshop boy and said impatiently, "Calculate the losses and see if this is enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ripped off the purse from his waist and threw it at the bookshop's servant.
The bookshop servant opened the purse and saw five thousand tael silver notes. He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's enough, that's enough. I guess there's still a lot left."
"That's enough."
Chen Bao didn't want to stay here any longer, so he took Awang away.
"Master, where did you get several thousand taels of silver?"
"Make a detailed record of the store's losses and deduct any damages that should be incurred. Send the remaining damages to Chen's residence."
The book boy in the bookstore was calculating how much money he had lost. If it was only three thousand taels, the remaining two thousand taels would be in his hands.
But when he was feeling complacent, he heard what the young master of the Chen family said, and immediately suppressed his greedy thoughts.
What a joke! He is not tired of living, so how dare he provoke the young master of the Chen family?
Chen Bao and Awang were walking aimlessly on the street, while Li Mengyue had already taken her three younger brothers to Tongxin Hall.
"Miss Li, your brother's injuries are just superficial. Just apply some bruise ointment."
Li Mengyue certainly knew that her three younger brothers were not seriously injured, otherwise her actions would not be as simple as just kicking them.
She brought her brothers to the clinic to let them know that they should not ignore their own safety and force themselves to show off their abilities just for the sake of showing off their eloquence.
This time it was her, and if she hadn't followed, who knows what would have happened in the end.
But this also reminded her.
