Duan Xiaohe was no longer calm, why was he everywhere? At that time, the Begonia who was still asking Qin Rui, didn't even make a sound when he saw Qin Rui. Other than Liu Wang who didn't understand the situation, the others were all feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Doctor Qin, why are you here?"
Liu Wang greeted them, and then Qin Rui saw them. He was fanning himself as he walked over. Looking at the people with different expressions, he couldn't help but feel relaxed.
"If a friend wants to open a shop, I'll come and take a look." Why are all of you here? "
Liu Wang did not know about the situation, and continued to chat with Qin Rui. Duan Xiaohe pursed her lips tightly, raising her eyes to look at Liu San. Seeing that was also looking at her, her heart stifled, and subconsciously reached out to grab ahold of him. Liu San scoffed, and held both of their hands tightly.
"Sister He, why didn't you say that you two were going to open a store together? Let's go and take a look. "
When Liu Wang heard Begonia mention it before, he thought that they were here to open a shop together. He came over and grabbed Gouzi, wanting to go into that shop. The Begonia thought for a moment, then followed. Duan Xiaohe stayed in place, pondering and pondering, hesitating and hesitating.
"How about I not open this shop, I can open a restaurant with Qian Qiaoqiao."
The Liu San was silent, until the other side started to urge them, only then did they turn their gaze towards that side.
Qin Rui casually glanced at the two holding hands, then lifted his heels and walked over. Duan Xiaohe tugged on Liu San's hand, shook her head and said: "Forget it, let's not go in anymore."
The two of them went back the way they came from. Neither of them said a word along the way. They were both silent. When they reached the most quiet place in the bustling city, she finally opened her mouth and said: "There's nothing going on between Qin Rui and I, he was drunk the other day. "Agreeing to let him buy shares was just a spur of the moment, although he really did help me …"
Liu San replied, "Yes, I know."
The topic seemed to be stuck, Duan Xiaohe was so anxious that she almost scratched her ears and cheeks.
"So it's like this, you still have to open this store, you still have to earn money. "When the time comes, you give the shop to him and we'll still be living in the countryside."
Duan Xiaohe shook her head again, "No, I can't let my hubby be stumped by this. "Even if I don't have this shop, I can still earn money."
After making up her mind, Duan Xiaohe went back. The few of them were still in the store, but the expressions on the faces of Xia Tang and Liu Wang were a little strange, causing her to be confused.
"Sis, let's go back."
"Wait a moment, I want to talk to him." Duan Xiaohe shouted to Qin Rui who was standing there minding his own business, "Come over, I have something to tell you."
Qin Rui faked a flirtatious expression, "I heard you had a wound on your waist? Do you still have any medicinal wine? Just ask Third Brother Liu to come and get it from me, I don't want money. "
Duan Xiaohe looked at her beautiful face and thought back to what had happened that night. She calmed herself down with much difficulty and said: "I won't be opening this shop for the time being. I'm sorry to have to have to trouble you, Doctor Qin. My money is still tight in every way, and I can't give a damn about it. I promised you I would buy you a share, and I'm afraid I can't get it now. I'll tell you when I'm sure I'm going to open a shop. "
These official's words caused Qin Rui to be stunned. He sneered, closed his fan and pointed at the shop, "You think this is for you to rent a shop? You didn't give me money, and I don't have much myself. Where did I get the ability to rent a shop for you? "
Seeing her confused expression, he explained: "I asked for you on behalf of a friend, you really think that you have a big face."
Duan Xiaohe's face turned red, she awkwardly snorted and said that this place was not good either, so she left after shouting at Liu Wang and the crabapple. On the way back, she made another round of worries. She had already agreed conditions for Liu Wang's family, and now that she had been beaten up by others, what was the difference between this and slapping her in the face!
"Brother Liu Wang, I don't have enough silver now. How about this, you guys wait for me to prepare more silver before we open a shop?"
Liu Wang hugged Gouzi, in Gouzi's arms, there were toys that a few people bought that children liked. He looked down at his son and smiled. "It's fine. You just have to have this mindset. This kind of thing cannot be rushed. Just take it slowly."
On the way, Begonia didn't say a word, only when they were standing at the Liu Village entrance to bid farewell did they scold Qin Rui angrily, saying that he didn't say it clearly, causing everyone to be happy for nothing.
After returning home, Duan Xiaohe sat in the courtyard and watched as the Liu San went back and forth. She called him over and sat down, saying that he had something to talk to him about. Liu San put down the things in his hands and walked towards her, "What, what do you want to eat tonight? Order one for me, hubby will make it for you. "
Duan Xiaohe laughed unrestrainedly, "It's already not bad if you can eat like that, what else do you need? Sit down, I have something to ask you. "
The moment Liu San sat down, he heard her ask in a low voice: "You knew from the beginning that there was a problem with that rich businessman?"
Seeing that he did not say anything, it further confirmed his thoughts. Duan Xiaohe pretended to be unhappy: "Why are you hiding this from me, can it be that I can let you go and steal from me through County Government Office? You're hiding this from me, wouldn't I be begging someone else? "You're worried that I'll be implicated? If I didn't know about it this entire time, then I really would have been implicated."
She poked Liu San's head and sighed. I mentioned this matter to Little County Princess. I don't know what that ancestor meant. If only she could save Father. "
Liu San looked at her and said solemnly, "Your father will be fine."
Duan Xiaohe looked at him and suddenly felt at ease.
Ever since she made money, Duan Xiaohe had hidden all her money in a broken gray jar at the bottom of the brick bed. Who would have thought that there would actually be someone who would hide their money in this kind of place?
He took out all the money he had earned during this period of time and counted them. Along with the money he had yet to split between them after buying the clothes today, there was a total of nearly sixty taels of silver. Begonia's money can wait, but the thirty percent that Qin Rui has promised …
Duan Xiaohe thought about it, and decided to reduce the amount of thirty silver she earned from the afternoon to one of Qin Rui's by ten. She took two deep breaths and put the rest of the money away.
Looking at the clothes that were casually stuffed in the Liu San's closet, Duan Xiaohe knew in her heart that those rough men were rough men, if there were no women in the house, they wouldn't even know how to pack. When she took out those clothes, she accidentally took out a small box from the corner. She took it out and looked at it, and it looked like a rouge box. But when she opened the lid, there was nothing there. She put her nose down and took a sniff, but there was no smell.
It wasn't for her, so she left it there as a souvenir?
Duan Xiaohe casually placed the thing on the brick bed and started to tidy up his clothes. The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. Liu San only married her for twenty odd years, could it be that he had never liked other girls before?
He picked up the rouge box again and examined it twice. The box was finely crafted and decorated with flowers. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked, especially the flowers carved on top, it was exactly the same as the ones carved on the models the Liu San made for the Water Steamed Bun.
Therefore, Duan Xiaohe reckoned that this was not something that the Liu San sculptures used to give to the young lady previously, but the young lady thought the gift was too light and did not accept it?
It was really a souvenir!
Just as he was thinking about this, the Liu San pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that she was helping him tidy his clothes, he chuckled. Wife, don't bend over if your waist hurts, I'll do it myself. "
She pointed to the rouge box. "This is yours?"
Liu San was startled, "I used it to practice before."
He knew that Liu San's cooking skills were excellent, but he didn't think that he could do this again. Thus, he teased him and said that even if he didn't till the land in the future, he would still be able to have a trade and beg for food. Not bad, not bad.
Liu San said that the box was lost and was worthless.
Duan Xiaohe seemed to like it. Although she didn't need to put on makeup, it was hard to say when she would get rouged.
The next morning, Liu San went up the mountain to hunt. Duan Xiaohe followed him to the place where they went to pick the osmanthus flowers and picked some more. While waiting at the foot of the mountain, he accidentally bumped into Qin Rui.
"About that, I have already allocated the money I bought yesterday. I will get Liu San to send it over to you later."
Qin Rui looked at her with a heavy gaze and did not speak for a long time. Duan Xiaohe felt a little uncomfortable, she said that she was going back, and did not wait for Liu San.
As she passed by, she brought with her a burst of fragrant cinnamon flowers, which made her feel extremely comfortable.
"Yesterday's shop, I was originally there for you to see."
She stopped in her tracks, frozen in place.
The two of them just stood there, one talking while the other listened.
"The transvestite excitedly told me yesterday that you were going to wait until the shop was opened for Liu Wang to be the shopkeeper. I know you want to open a shop, but not with me... Why? Because I was drunk that night? Or did I hold your hand because of the beggar festival? "
Duan Xiaohe felt that this man was simply poisoned. He had an innocent look on his face, but what she said was the most lethal of them all.
Qin Rui's face was full of self-blame, "Perhaps it's because I didn't agree to save your father?"
Duan Xiaohe was startled, she did not think that she would be going there. She had only been blabbering about wanting him to give it a try, so he didn't have much hope for it. She felt a little embarrassed that he was blaming herself so much.
"No …"
"I have my own difficulties." After pausing for a moment, Qin Rui said with a heavy tone. It would be better to stay away from me, in case we get into trouble. "
With that, he left.
Duan Xiaohe kept on looking at the figure until it disappeared before retracting her gaze. Why did she suddenly feel like she owed him?
Just as he was thinking, Liu San came down from the mountain with a person on his back. Seeing that she was still waiting for him, he called out to his wife repeatedly. Duan Xiaohe was shocked, only when Liu San walked up to him did she see clearly that there was a girl on his back.
"Why did you come back with a girl on your back when you were hunting?"
