All right... the man took the ginseng and turned away, without being polite at all.
Tang Shiyue finally coaxed the young lady to stand up.
She looked to be about fourteen or fifteen, with fancy clothes and hairpins, obviously from a good family, and she managed to thank her in a steady voice.
Tang Shiyue said, "It was just a coincidence. It's nothing." She helped her tidy up her clothes and hair. Seeing that everything was fine, she helped her walk out and comforted her, "Don't worry. No one will know about this."
She nodded while choking with sobs, and asked, "What's your name, benefactor?"
Tang Shiyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Just call me Ayue."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the alley, several people ran over. One of them, dressed as a maid, looked anxious. When she saw her, she cried, "My dear, my dear, I finally found you. I was so scared!"
Tang Shiyue saw that there were enough people there and nothing would happen, so she quietly left.
She didn't seek any reward from them, but she just saw that she would not be able to get over the hurdle in her heart if she didn't take action.
As she walked away, she saw the man from before appearing from the side of the alley, holding a straw in his mouth. He looked at her from behind and smiled: "Interesting."
...
...
Tang Shiyue bought a bunch of things here and there and went all the way to Sifang Restaurant. From a distance, she saw Qi Jing and Manager Shen standing at the second-floor window waiting for her.
This time they came here to discuss with Shopkeeper Shen how to package this batch of bayberry wine. She came a little late, and Qi Jing had obviously already done the job.
Shopkeeper Shen looked at her strangely and kindly invited her to stay for dinner.
Of course, Tang Shiyue didn’t know that the two of them already knew each other, and she didn’t know that Qi Xiaolang was being ungentlemanly this time and told Manager Shen what she said.
She confirmed that Shopkeeper Shen had no ill intentions, so she agreed.
They sat in the private room, separated by a screen, and almost everyone who came in asked about the Fushou wine. Apparently, in this short period of time, Shopkeeper Shen had already hyped up this wine and made it very popular.
Tang Shiyue was a little surprised.
She thought that Shopkeeper Shen would wait until the second batch of wine was delivered before he dared to sell the wine with confidence.
However, being trusted by others is always pleasant, so they talked happily. Before leaving, Shopkeeper Shen also gave them a food box with some delicious dishes, and Qi Jing took it silently.
As soon as they left the restaurant, Tang Shiyue said to him, "I just saved the beauty!"
Qi Jing was stunned, his expression darkened: "What happened?"
Tang Shiyue described the incident vividly. Qi Jing listened with a frown on his face. Only after she finished did he nod and said, "This is a good way to deal with it. Fortunately, you didn't act rashly."
Tang Shiyue snorted, "Of course I won't! Saving someone and getting yourself into trouble is not bravery but stupidity, okay? If I hadn't happened to run into that big idiot, I would have thought of other ways. Only when the goal of 'saving someone' is achieved can it be considered a success!"
She suddenly became interested, so she walked backwards while singing to him with a smile: "It's not good to be strong when there are people outside of you. There is no need to worry about running out of firewood when you keep the green mountains. When you see injustice on the road, you are alone and weak. Find help before you draw your sword~~"
When she sang the last line, she jumped onto the mounting stone next to her and made a sword-drawing gesture that she thought was extremely cool.
Qi Jing couldn't help but smiled.
Tang Shiyue was very dissatisfied: "Hey!"
Qi Jing quickly stopped laughing and coughed, "How impressive."
She squinted and said, "Hmm?"
Qi Xiaolang straightened his face and said in a very serious tone: "Good! Awesome! Wind!"
Tang Shiyue: “…”Puff!
The two of them walked back talking and laughing. Qi Jing suddenly tilted his head slightly, as if he noticed something, but he did not stop and continued forward.
They got on the mule cart and headed back, and behind them, the skinny little beggar trotted back and quickly went into a small shop.
A tall man in brown clothes was sitting in the middle. The little beggar stepped forward and said, "Boss Han, they left. I asked around and found out they are from Jubao Village. The owner of the mule cart is named Qi and he bought it not long ago. I don't know anything else."
The tall man nodded, waved his hand and told the little beggar to leave, and asked the person next to him: "Is Song Ping jumping around again recently?"
"How dare he jump around?" the man laughed. "Since the last fight, Song Ping's legs have been broken. I don't know where he has gone to hide." He poured him a bowl of wine. "What's wrong? Someone dares to mention Song Ping in front of you?"
"Of course not," the tall man raised his eyebrows and smiled, "pointing at me and saying that I am Boss Song's man."
"Puff!" The people below laughed: "Boss, who is so brave? Didn't you break his leg?"
"No," the tall man said with a smile, "I am soft-hearted."
He was originally a gangster, and gangsters of course had no money, so he couldn't afford to buy good ginseng. He just happened to need it, so he met someone on the road and took one away...
Not robbing it by force was already a sign of righteousness on his part. He didn't expect that the young lady dressed as a young man was quite tough and used sharp words to force it back. However, in order to save a stranger, she gave it back to him.
For the sake of this ginseng, next time we meet, I can tell her that there is no Boss Song in the town now, only Boss Han!
My name is Han Yi. Next time you encounter any problems, you can tell me my name!
…………
The weather for wheat harvest was good this year, with sunny days for half a month in a row.
Tang Shiyue didn't know how to do farm work, so when she had free time, she would help her uncle Tang to watch over the crops drying in the sun. She made a big umbrella out of leaves and carried it wherever she went without having to compete with other people for the shade. When the villagers nearby saw this, they also followed suit.
Ever since the clan leader personally cleared her name, her popularity has become better and better. The villagers have very simple thoughts. Seeing that she could not take a penny of so much silver, they thought that this Miss Tang was a person worth making friends with.
So from time to time someone came to talk to her.
The Tang family had been bustling with activity recently, and she could hear about it from time to time.
It is said that Li Shunzi and his wife left that night. They did not hold back and beat Tang Guizhi at their daughter-in-law's parents' home, even leaving her leg lame.
It is said that they wanted to hire someone to harvest wheat, so they hired a family named Chen from the same village. There were many men in that family, including seven bachelors from the oldest to the youngest. They also had their own land, so they finished harvesting early and came out to work. It was agreed that they did not want food, but money.
They were also hired by Fourth Uncle Tang's family. After the work was done, they helped to remove the materials and winnow them. They were all good hands. Fourth Uncle Tang was also generous in giving them money, and both families were very happy.
As a result, when it came to Grandma Sun, she immediately kicked out the old man who was less than 50 years old, fearing that he would not work hard, which made the Chen family very angry.
Later, he continued to lower the price.
After all, he had just worked for Fourth Uncle Tang's family. The man from the same village offered him two lower prices, but he was afraid that Fourth Uncle Tang would mind, so naturally he refused to give in. Later, Mrs. Sun did something magical.
She ran to find Fourth Uncle Tang and forced him to say that he didn't mind and lower the price. He finally took the job. But after the job was done, Grandma Sun delayed paying the wages for two days and even said she would pay with food.
If it were any other family, they would just harvest the crops if they really couldn't do it. But the Tang family didn't have a good farmer. They didn't put in enough effort in the fields, and the crops they grew were not good. They refused to do so, and the two families had quarreled several times over this matter.
The sister-in-law said to her, "I want to tell you something. Don't be angry. I heard that your grandma was crying at the door. She said that your father had corrupted the family tradition and now there is no one in the family who can farm... or something like that."
Tang Shiyue smiled and said she didn't mind.
She thought that her cheap dad could make money, which meant he had the ability to do so. Others...didn't they have any self-awareness? There are so many ways to make money, you have to have the ability to do so!
Just as I was complaining in my heart, I heard someone behind me say with a smile: "Yuer, your brother is back!"
Tang Shiyue turned around and saw Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen walking towards her side by side.
Tang Shiyue stood up and said with a smile: "Brother!"
She gave them the tree stump to sit on. The three of them chatted for a while, harvested the wheat and went home. In the evening, Tang Shiyue forced another ten taels of silver on Tang Shirong.
The monthly salary is close to two taels, plus the two taels that Tang Shiyue cheated Tang Shijin out of, that makes four taels of silver. I don't know how Grandma Sun plans to raise the money for Tang Jinjin.
When I think about it this way, I’m quite looking forward to it.
