We parted in a hurry, and I didn't expect to see Song Yuehua again.
Ah Xing just felt an incomparable sense of familiarity.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Song Yuehua whispered, "The Chen family has been raided, but your ancestral home in Qingzhou is still in my hands. Do you want to buy it back?"
"Qingzhou..."
Ah Xing was stunned for a moment before she chuckled and shook her head.
"No need. Now that I'm married in Wenzhou, my husband and his family treat me very well. I don't have to worry about being harassed when I set up a stall here every day. There's no need to go back. Wenzhou is close to the sea, so it's just right for me to do business here."
Song Yuehua looked around and smiled, "It seems that the customs of the people here are good."
"Not really..." Ah Xing leaned closer and said, "My husband is the instructor of the Wenzhou Prefecture soldiers, so..."
Although the instructor of the palace soldiers is not as good as those real big shots, as long as he is in Wenzhou City, he has no problem protecting his wife and children.
"Seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
"By the way, I've discounted the bunk bed and the pots, pans, and bowls you left in Qingzhou. Add to that the 20 taels of silver I owe you, and I'll give you another 35 taels."
Song Yuehua was about to take out the money, but Ah Xing held her hand and shook her head.
"Miss Song, I want to accept your money, but I'm afraid that grandma will be so angry that she will die. If it weren't for your help, how could we be where we are today?"
Seeing that Ah Xing was determined not to accept it, Song Yuehua did not force her.
"There is an embroidery shop called Yuyanfang on Ginkgo Street. It's my second sister's shop. I've left the money with her. You can go get it anytime. I'll bring her over for fish ball noodles tomorrow so you two can get to know each other."
Ah Xing smiled and said, "It's rare that we are all in Wenzhou City, so feel free to bring it over. If nothing else, the fish ball noodles will make you full."
As they were talking, Song Yuehua was curious about how she ended up in Wenzhou.
“After leaving Qingzhou, the three of us didn’t know where to go for a while. Fish ball noodles are our specialty. Wenzhou is near the sea, so we naturally came here.”
When talking about what happened after coming to Wenzhou, Ah Xing's face turned red and her tone became much more shy.
Before they entered the city, the three people's bags were robbed.
At that time, all the family belongings were in the bag, and Ah Xing got excited and chased after them.
I didn't notice that it was getting dark and ended up chasing someone on a deserted path.
Just when Ah Xing thought that he was going to die here, a man dropped from the sky and easily knocked down several thieves.
Ah Xing was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she was rescued by this man, now her husband.
"My husband's family is simple, with only his mother and sister. I saw that he was in good health and was a martial artist, so I agreed."
Ah Xing touched her face shyly.
Is this a hero saving a beauty?
Song Yuehua saw Ah Xing with her hair tied up in a bun and a radiant face, and thought that she must be living a good life.
After eating the fish balls, Song Yuehua made an appointment with Ah Xing to come back tomorrow. She also went to several businesses to ask if there was any business that would take her back home.
There is a caravan going the same way, but it will leave in a month.
One month definitely won’t be enough, Song Yuehua thought, it looks like I have to go back by myself.
The journey here was relatively smooth, and this time, nothing should go wrong for her and Pei Feng going back together.
Song Yuehua walked two more streets and came across a particularly popular pastry shop. With so much popularity, the food must be delicious.
When Song Yuehua came out of the store carrying a bag of pastries, she felt unwell.
A bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cake costs 800 Wen. What a damnable price!
Song Yuehua suddenly lost all desire to buy anything.
Not long after walking a short distance with the cakes in her hand, Song Yuehua unexpectedly saw Hou Xiaoer again. He was being abducted into an alley by a group of people.
Out of curiosity, I followed them quietly and saw the leader slap Hou Xiaoer's head hard.
"You almost got caught. Are you a fucking loser?" a tall and strong man said fiercely.
Hou Xiaoer covered his head and said, "Brother, I met a martial artist this time. There is really nothing I can do!"
The tall man glanced outside and whispered, "If you keep being so useless, I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish."
"Don't worry, big brother. I will practice diligently from now on and will never let anyone find out." Hou Xiaoer promised solemnly.
The tall man said in a cold voice, "Meet at the usual place tonight, come early."
Hou Xiaoer quickly agreed.
Hearing that he was so obedient, the tall man softened his attitude a little, patted Hou Xiaoer on the face and said, "Work hard, and when we make achievements, you will definitely be indispensable."
After saying that, the tall man led a group of people into the alley, and there was no one in sight.
Hou Xiaoer, who stayed where he was, breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he took two steps forward, he was dragged away by someone.
If you don't think about it carefully, at first glance, it looks like a theft gang, but Song Yuehua always felt something was wrong, so she arrested Hou Xiaoer.
"Sister, I didn't offend you this time!" Hou Xiaoer struggled out and said.
Song Yuehua asked, "What do those people do?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Hou Xiaoer pulled at the clothes that were tangled into a ball.
Song Yuehua pressed him against the wall with one hand and asked, "Hurry up and tell me."
"He is my elder brother and he taught us how to steal things." Hou Xiaoer said helplessly.
There isn't a single word of truth coming out of this kid's mouth.
Song Yuehua thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the old place?"
"Outside the city."
Outside the city?
"You've been caught once before, and this is the second time. How are you going to get out tonight?" Song Yuehua asked.
Hou Xiaoer, "..."
Reluctantly, Hou Xiaoer said that the river he jumped into today could lead to the outside of the city.
