Yu Huan came out of He's house and wandered on the street for a while. He had no money and didn't even know where to go.
Suddenly, she felt hungry. Although the He family's dim sum was delicious, she knew her limits. This was her first time sitting around with the He family's sons, so she had to be polite to leave a good impression.
He didn't eat much for lunch, and now that he was hungry, Yu Huan thought of a dim sum shop.
In the past, I could just send my maid to buy whatever I wanted, but now I have to consider my money first. The ingredients used in that pastry shop are all high-quality and taste good, so the prices are also high.
The silver in Yu Huan's hand was just enough to buy one bag.
She walked to the door of the dim sum shop. The seller was a handsome young man in simple blue clothes. He smiled when he saw Yu Huan.
He remembered Yu Huan, she was a regular customer of theirs.
But I rarely saw her before.
Only when he handed the snacks to her maid and looked out, could he see her standing in the shade of a tree in the distance waiting. She had a slender figure, delicate and charming eyebrows and eyes, and her smile had a charming air.
After the shop closed, several servants in the shop couldn't help but joke with each other about her, wondering what kind of talent must have to catch Miss Liao's eye.
Then he thought, if there really was a good thing that happened, and he could have a chance to meet Miss Liao... he really didn't dare to think about it any further.
The servant seemed to look at her twice more and even smiled secretly.
Yu Huan suspected that the other party was mocking her in her heart because she saw that their Liao family had fallen on hard times.
She was unhappy and secretly angry, and decided not to buy from them next time.
But I still have to eat this time.
Just as he was about to hand over the silver, he suddenly heard a broken and hoarse male voice: "This is the shop my mother left me. Don't even think about taking it away..."
Before he could finish his words, a resounding voice drowned him out: "Your mother was a gambler. I paid for her burial. This bookshop is her debt repayment."
"Besides, you're a man, what use is there for this shop? It's not decent for you to show your face in public. You might as well let me take care of it."
"That's right. You haven't even gotten married yet and you're still relying on us for support. You're also responsible for spending your share of the money this shop earns. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yu Huan's attention was drawn to him. The servant who was serving the snacks casually told her, "The Shu family is trying to wipe out the entire family. They've been making trouble for a long time. I don't think they can keep Shu He."
The onlookers also started talking about it. Some felt sorry for the man, while others thought what the relatives said made sense.
Yu Huan gradually understood.
The frail man was called Shu He. He had a miserable life: his father died young, and his mother was a gambler who had lost all the family fortune. He had only managed to keep the shop by secretly hiding the deed, but he had no idea that it would eventually be taken away by his aunt.
The matter was a foregone conclusion. Aunt Shu brought people to occupy the bookstore and even took down the signboard, planning to sell buns. The onlookers had already dispersed.
Shukaku was left standing on the street, watching them easily destroy the things he cherished most, his eyes empty.
If only he could earn a living, at least he wouldn't be as helpless as he is now. But he is just a man, and everyone is waiting for a woman to marry him with a gift of money.
"I don't want any snacks for now." Yu Huan said suddenly.
The servant was stunned for a moment, then guessed what she was going to do, and his heart began to beat fast.
Shu He had never had a good life since he was a child. He was not well fed and clothed, and his body was thin and frail. Even though he had a good-looking face, he looked haggard and weak like a broken porcelain.
Yu Huan couldn't help but feel sympathy, walked up to him, and asked softly: "Are you okay?"
Shu He actually noticed that she was looking at him a long time ago.
She was so outstanding that every move she made was conspicuous in the crowd.
Shu He should have been embarrassed to be cared for like this by a strange woman, but unfortunately he had been subjected to strange looks since he was a child, greedy, disgusted, pitiful, and had long been numb and had no feeling at all.
He just shifted his gaze slightly to look at his feet without saying a word.
"Don't be sad." Yu Huan persuaded him, "There's no point in being sad. Here's the money."
In the past, Yu Huan gave out silver as a reward to others, always in ingots, but he had never given silver in such small pieces.
She initially felt she couldn't afford to give it to him, so she explained vaguely, "This is all I have now. You can take it for now. When my situation improves, I'll give you more."
She didn't know that what she mentioned was already very important to ordinary people.
Shu He's eyes finally moved, and fell lightly and dimly on the two silver coins.
Seeing that he didn't take it, she became a little anxious, so she pulled his hand and put the silver in his palm.
Shu He was stunned, feeling the heavy weight, and suddenly a tear slid down his pale cheek. It quickly stayed on his thin and sharp chin for only a moment before dripping down.
But Yu Huan, who had done a good deed, had already left and didn't see it.
.
The next day, Yu Huan went to find He Yanqing again.
She had to coax He Yanqing into agreeing to marry her before the heroine met him.
Of course, it may not be possible in the end, but the process still has to go through.
He Yanqing was just taught a lesson by the head of the He family the day before yesterday not to show up in public, so today Yu Huan invited him out for a trip.
He Yanqing should have refused directly, simply saying it was against the rules. But he was silent for a moment, then said softly, "No."
There is a huge difference between these two sentences.
When he said something against the rules, it meant that he wanted to follow the rules and didn't want to go out with her; but when he said something was not possible, it meant that he wanted to go but couldn't.
Yu Huan naturally asked why.
He Yanqing didn't want to criticize his mother in private, so he simply explained that his family had strict rules and his mother would not agree.
