Chen Xin looked at Tang Chen, who usually wore a cheerful smile, but this time had a blank expression on her face. Thinking that she might be angry, he tentatively asked Wang Yanzhou, "Master, do you want me to..."
Wang Yanzhou shook his head slightly, "No need." Knowing Tang Chen, he knew she wasn't the type to get angry over something like this. Technically, her temper was actually quite to his liking. Although she was always grinning and didn't seem bright, she never acted on impulse. She had her own opinions about different people and things.
Wang Yanzhou's prediction was correct. This time, Tang Chen did not disappoint him either. Tang Chen turned and left, but soon returned with a pen and paper.
"Boss Wang, come here and sign this," Tang Chen handed the paper in his hand to Wang Yanzhou.
Wang Yanzhou saw that the words were densely packed on it, and the writing was a bit awkward and ugly, so he simply asked Tang Chen directly: "What is this?"
Tang Chen explained, "If you break the contract, you must pay liquidated damages. Also, during this period of time, I have been pursued by one suitor after another of yours. Now, whenever I see a beautiful woman on the street, I am afraid that they will sharpen their knives and attack me. I still have to pay for mental damages, right? As a result, I no longer dare to casually flirt with young ladies, and I have lost a great pleasure in life. It has also caused me to lose many future friends. And..."
Wang Yanzhou saw that Tang Chen was talking endlessly, thinking that he was just trying to cheat him out of something. Instead of wasting words, he decided to get straight to the point: "I want to remind you of one thing. From today, there are only five days left until the deadline we agreed on."
Tang Chen knew Wang Yanzhou was trying to bargain with her. This stingy man, she would never give in this time. Even if she couldn't convince him, she couldn't let him convince her in return. "Yes, but one day less doesn't count as sixty days. No matter how you calculate it, you've broken the contract."
Wang Yanzhou chuckled. "Okay, that's not a big deal anyway." She had a reason for listing the amounts one by one, so it was quite organized and not overly exaggerated. "Oh, okay, you're not particularly stupid. Be calm."
"Valley Master." Wang Yanzhou called Chen Xin over and suddenly asked, "Do you want cash or banknotes?"
Tang Chen's first reaction after hearing this was, "Do you want cash or card?", as if buying something. "My money is all in the bank. You can just give me half in cash and deposit the other half for me."
"Please remember carefully, which bank is it?"
"Yongtong."
Wang Yanzhou and Shen Xin glanced at Tang Chen at the same time. Shen Xin then looked at Wang Yanzhou. Wang Yanzhou shook his head slightly and said, "...Write it down."
"yes."
Wang Yanzhou didn't know who he was hiding from, and it was still the middle of the night when he left. Tang Chen was very considerate and also went to the back door to see him off.
Wang Yanzhou saw Tang Chen's procrastination and couldn't help but want to say a few more words: "I'm leaving soon, and I have a few last words to say to you. You can stay here temporarily for a few days. Remember, it's temporary. Pack your luggage, find a house to live in, and think carefully about how to live without me."
"Know."
Although Tang Chen looked impatient, his heart was already in turmoil: You've already given me enough instructions today. If I want to leave, leave quickly. Who knows if I'll go crazy and beg you to go with me? Don't give me the chance to commit a crime!
"Zhang Xiaohua won't come back unless it's a major festival. If you encounter something you can't resolve, it's best to go to the county government office."
"Yeah, I know."
"...Then, let's say goodbye." Wang Yanzhou had also thought about why he cared so much about her after knowing her. Now he finally had the answer. Isn't this scene tonight exactly what he and his brother looked like when he left? The man who was still nagging before leaving had a temper very similar to Tang Chen. But he was smarter and more decisive than Tang Chen. However, after saying goodbye, the two of them went their separate ways; in the end, he couldn't even find the man's body. He just hoped that history would not repeat itself on him.
Wang Yanzhou had just boarded the carriage when Tang Chen suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Wait!"
"Anything else?"
Tang Chen reluctantly let go of his hand, bowed his head and saluted, saying, "Thank you for your care and companionship these days, brother. Tang Chen is very grateful."
Wang Yanzhou smiled softly: "We are just destined to be together. Take care."
"...Take care", no matter what you are planning, I wish you all the best.
When Wang Yanzhou left, he asked Chen Xin to take care of Tang Chen for a while. Tang Chen was not shy either. Whenever he had something he couldn't solve, he would go to harass Chen Xin with a flattering face.
Tang Chen had been staying in the backyard for the past two days. All the food, clothing, and daily necessities were provided by Chen Xin himself.
Of course, Tang Chen herself wasn't idle either. She counted all her belongings and belongings. After getting a rough idea of the total, Tang Chen thought back to the day Wang Yanzhou left. As she thought about it, she remembered Lin Chongrong and the "Green Dragon Gang" that had chased her halfway down the street.
That day, Tang Chen was squatting under a tree in the yard, holding a small branch in her hand, as if she was playing with ants. Chen Xin saw that she was having a good time alone, so he didn't disturb her. After checking that she was fine as usual, he turned around and planned to leave quietly.
Tang Chen was distracted when he saw Shen Xin tiptoeing around. He quickly dropped the branch in his hand and chased after him: "Brother Shen, please stay!"
"Miss Tang, is there something wrong?"
Tang Chen stuck out his tongue and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
Chen Xin touched his nose, feeling that the favor the little girl wanted from him this time was a little difficult to handle: "Miss, it's okay to ask, but I need to think about whether to help or not."
Tang Chen waved his hand playfully and said, "Don't worry, Brother Shen, it's just a small matter."
...The autumn noon sun was no longer as scorching as before. Seeing that the weather was just right, the Qinglong Gang simply moved out all the tables, chairs, and benches and had lunch in the courtyard.
The Qinglong Gang is not actually a gang. To put it bluntly, it is just a few dozen helpless people gathered together to get by.
"Boss, something bad has happened, Boss!"
The boss who had previously led the "hunt" for Tang Chen saw these people making noises as soon as they had eaten their fill. He scolded them while shoveling the food in his bowl: "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm still eating? Why are you howling?"
"Boss, something terrible has happened!"
The eldest brother picked out the small piece of lean meat left in his bowl and put it in the bowl of the kid at the same table. He urged impatiently, "What happened? Stop yelling!"
The messenger took a bowl of cold water from him and drank it before hurriedly saying, "Last time, that woman we were chasing on the road last time came here with a large group of people!"
