"Is five taels of silver not enough? I can add a little more."
Seeing her shaking her head to refuse, Ye Shaoqing hurriedly asked another question.
Hua Shi clenched her palms lightly and explained, "It's not about money. Black cats are very spiritual, and we have a connection. This fate is indescribable, so how can we buy and sell it so easily?"
Ye Shaoqing stared blankly at the smile on her face, touched the back of his neck, and felt his ears feeling a little hot.
He coughed lightly to hide his discomfort. "Well, I really like this black cat. I also have a black dog and a talking parrot at home. I also think it's very spiritual. I've heard that the small animals in Linhai Mountain are very spiritual. This cat came out of the mountains, so it must be full of spiritual energy..."
He spoke a long speech, and several people's eyes were on him.
Ye Shaoqing felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, and his face seemed to be a little hot. He coughed again and asked reservedly,
"Where do you live? How about I take you back? I often come to the village when I have time. Next time I come, can I go to your house to see the cat?"
After thinking for a while, he seemed to have found a plausible reason for himself to connect with others.
Hua Shi raised an eyebrow, and after hearing what he said, she seemed to vaguely react.
It doesn't seem right...
Ye Shaoqing looked like a wealthy young master in town, always asking for five taels of silver. He had no shortage of money, no worries about food and clothing, and whatever he wanted came with just a wave of his hand...
Besides, she remembered that Shoushan Village was not very close to Taohua Town. It would take almost two days to go back and forth. Why would she endure this hardship and travel all the way to the village just to see a cat...
Hua Shi looked at his red ears and evasive eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be... that he's attracted to her face...
It's not that she is narcissistic. The original owner's face is indeed one of the most beautiful in the village.
Because Mrs. Li rarely let her work in the fields, she never touched water or got much exposure to the sun, so her skin was naturally fair and delicate, and her eyes were big and watery...
Ye Shaoqing waited for a long time, but there was no reply from Hua Shi. His face turned red. When he raised his eyes, he met Hua Shi's gaze, and his face turned even redder.
Hua Shi looked at his increasingly red face and became more certain of her guess.
His eyebrows moved slightly, and his grip on his palms tightened a little bit. He said, "If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."
As she spoke, she tugged at Hua Yu with her free hand, and the two siblings left, one in front and the other behind.
Ye Shaoqing was still dizzy and before he could react, the person was gone.
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
He Jiang touched his chin, clicked his tongue lightly, and looked at Ye Shaoqing with a strange look and a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
Ye Shaoqing was in a state of despair when he was stared at by his teasing eyes. He felt a little embarrassed and angry, "He Jiang, what are you looking at me with?"
He Jiang chuckled, "Hahahaha... Master Ye, you are attracted by the beauty, right? When you see a pretty girl, you want to get close to her... Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Ye Shaoqing's face flushed. "What do you mean by lust at first sight? You don't allow me to fall in love at first sight!"
He yelled, and He Jiang's amused look intensified. He bumped him with his shoulder, his gaze fixed on the brother and sister who had already walked away. He lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know who she is? Did you fall in love at first sight?"
Ye Shaoqing frowned, still a little annoyed, "Who else could it be? Isn't it the eldest daughter of the Hua family?"
He Jiang touched him again and said mysteriously, "I just realized that she is Li Lianxin's granddaughter. I didn't recognize her at first glance. She has changed a lot. I have seen her a few times before. How come she is like a completely different person? Her temperament and demeanor have changed a lot. No wonder I didn't recognize her..."
He Jiang muttered to himself for a long time.
Ye Shaoqing didn't understand what he was saying. He frowned and pushed him impatiently, "What on earth do you want to say? You're talking nonsense."
He Jiang looked at him, sighed, and said with a hint of disgust, "I think you should just give up. Not to mention that your father doesn't agree with you marrying a country girl, even this girl from the Hua family is not a good person.
You saw the boy's foot just now, right? It was her fault. He was her own brother, and she left him half-disabled. She also has a little brother at home who is now five years old and still mute and can't speak. It's also because of her.
This girl looks kind, but her heart is actually very vicious. This is what they call… you can only know a person’s face but not his heart!”
Ye Shaoqing's eyes widened when he heard this. "How did you know that?"
He Shan sighed, "How can I know? I'm from Shoushan Village, how could I not know?"
Ye Shaoqing still didn't quite believe it. He frowned and said unhappily, "You heard it from others, right? It might not be true. You can actually say such slanderous words about a girl's reputation. Aren't you afraid of ruining her life?"
He Shan was also a little unhappy. "Although I heard it from others, I have no regrets. Since others can spread it, it is probably true. Besides, her reputation in the village is extremely bad. If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask around. She is vicious and has bad intentions. It is obvious that this girl is not a good person..."
Xie Mingchi, who had been silent all this time, frowned gradually as he saw that He Shan's words were becoming more and more excessive.
She interrupted him, "Alright, there are so many rumors in the village, and not all of them are true. Don't go too far. Since she can form a bond with the mountain cats, it shows that she is not a bad person."
