At night, after Yu Shu finished today's "homework" at Qing Zheng's place, she told him about her plan to work in Tehen. She didn't expect Qing Zheng to scold her with anger, "You didn't learn well when I was teaching you. You went to that place to learn small subjects just for some money. You're so useless!"
Yu Shu secretly rolled her eyes and comforted him, "Master, don't worry. I won't forget what you teach me, but I also have to support my family. You know that I'm living in someone else's house now. I'm not like you, who can eat and drink for free. I still have a younger brother staying in the Ji family. I'm counting on earning money to bring him out to live a good life."
Qing Zheng said angrily, "Bastard, who said that I'm eating and drinking for free? It's them who are willing to support me."
"Fine, fine, fine. It's them who support you, but no one supports me." Yu Shu reached out to pull Qing Zheng's sleeve and said sincerely, "When I earn money and have the ability, I'll support you myself. I'll buy you good food and clothes and be filial to you. Don't you like to eat chicken feet? At that time, I'll buy chicken feet for you to eat with wine every day."
Qing Zheng was comforted by Yu Shu's words, but he said stubbornly, "Hmph, when did I like to eat chicken feet?"
"Do you think I don't know how many ants the chicken bones you threw under the tree in the yard attracted?"
Being stared at by Yu Shu with a "don't pretend" look, Qing Zheng blushed and glared at her. He took his sleeve out of her hand and waved his hand, saying, "If you want to go, go. Don't blame me for not teaching you well when you can't learn anything."
"Stingy Shifu," Yu Shu giggled and quickly reached out to grab the white beard on his chin. She jumped back two steps and turned around to run out of the room. She heard Qing Zheng scolding her in exasperation, "Stinky girl! You pulled off two strands of my beard again. Where did you learn this bad habit? " The next day, Yu Shu and Cao Zixin went to Vientiane Street to meet Pei Jing. With him around, there was almost no need for Yu Shu to say anything. Pei Jing was experienced and knowledgeable, while Cao Zixin was eloquent. It was the first time these two businessmen met, but they chatted happily and completely ignored her. However, the content of their conversation was mostly about business, so Yu Shu listened with great interest and did not disturb them.
When it was almost noon, the three of them went to a nearby restaurant to have a simple meal. Cao Zixin paid the bill. Yu Shu felt very bad, so she could only silently note it down and return it to him in the future.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, when it was time to leave, Cao Zixin seriously said to Pei Jing, "My little brother is still young. In the future, if there is anything he does not understand, I will have to trouble Mister to give him advice."
Pei Jing chuckled and nodded readily. He had a wealth of experience in reading people and very much admired Cao Zixin, a young man with an extraordinary appearance and excellent conversational style. His tone was rather courteous and seventy percent sincere as he said, "Today's chat with Zixin was very enjoyable. I will call you out for a drink another day. Don't refuse."
Cao Zixin replied with a smile, "My pleasure."
Pei Jing then turned to Yu Shu and said pleasantly: "The Thai Heng Chamber of Commerce is at the north of Vientiane Street. You can find me there tomorrow morning."
Yu Shu replied, "I will have to trouble Mister Pei in the future."
Pei Jing modestly waved his hand and said goodbye to the two of them. The three of them parted outside the restaurant. Pei Jing left first.
It was raining outside. The two of them came out with umbrellas. Yu Shu looked at the gradually disappearing street and said to Cao Zixin: "I want to go to the Kong Yi House's library to copy books. Where is Brother Cao?"
Cao Zixin looked at the rain and said to her: "I will go with you."
Yu Shu stood there motionless and looked at him with a hesitant expression. "What is it?"
Yu Shu said hesitantly: "To go to the second floor, you need to spend ten taels of silver to buy a tablet. Why don't you go back first?"
She couldn't let Cao Zixin go to the Yi House and wait for him downstairs. She didn't think she was so shameless to make him wait for her for two hours. But to go to the second floor and buy a tablet, Cao Zixin didn't study Yi House. What was the point of wasting money with her? Ten taels of silver was not a small amount. It was the income of ten days of fasting.
Hearing that she was worried about his money, Cao Zixin smiled. "Do you think I am as stingy as you? Let's go."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Kong Yi House. Yu Shu was two steps behind him. She wanted to say something but she didn't have enough confidence. After a few steps, she couldn't help but smile. Cao Zixin went to the hall to buy a tablet. Yu Shu was waiting for him at the stairs with two umbrellas. She looked up at the two huge red cloud knots hanging on the pillar in front of her. She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a cold voice: "What are you doing here?"
Yu Shu lowered her gaze and saw the handsome young man who had appeared in front of her without her noticing. She furrowed her brows. She clearly knew that he was just a child and shouldn't be so calculative with him, but this didn't stop her from hating this ungrateful brat. If it weren't for him, she and Little Xiu wouldn't have gone through such a dangerous adventure last time and almost lost their lives.
She turned her head and directly ignored the young man in front of her.
Today, Xue Wenzhe had come to the Kong family's shop to look for a book that was missing from his maternal grandfather's library. After entering the shop, he saw a person standing at the corner of the staircase. Although the person was dressed like a boy, he easily recognized Yu Shu.
After more than 20 days, Xue Wenzhe's mood was quite complicated when he saw Yu Shu again. He was surprised and annoyed at the same time. There was also a bit of happiness suppressed at the bottom. He rushed up to talk to her without thinking. But this bad girl dared to ignore him! "
Xue Wenzhe couldn't hide his joy and anger. He immediately sneered: "I heard that you were beaten for a mistake and driven out by the Ji family. I thought you starved to death outside. It seems that you are alive and well. What are you doing here?"
Yu Shu had never seen such a blind person. She obviously ignored him but he still talked so enthusiastically.
"I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf or mute?" The more Yu Shu ignored him, the more annoyed Xue Wenzhe became. He impulsively stretched out his hand to push his shoulder. But before he could touch him, his hand was caught by someone.
Young Master Xue turned his head and saw that it was a young man who was half a head taller than him. He was wearing a green robe and was dressed appropriately. Just as he was wondering where this person had come from, he heard Yu Shu, who had ignored him earlier, call out sweetly, "Brother Cao, are you done buying?"
Xue Wenzhe had a problem with his ears. Yu Shu was young, and a fifteen-year-old girl's voice was crisp and clear. Everything she said was tactful and pleasant, and she didn't deliberately add sugar.
Xue Wenzhe looked at Yu Shu and then looked at 'Brother Cao'. His face darkened and he tried to twist his arm. But his wrist was pinched tightly like a pair of pliers. He couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. He couldn't help shouting angrily: "Let go!"
Cao Zixin loosened his grip and let him go. He looked at the angry young man and frowned slightly. He asked Yu Shu: "This is?"
Yu Shu casually said: "He used to study in a private school." She thought for a while and added: "I'm not familiar with him."
Cao Zixin: "Oh."
Xue Wenzhe: "!"
Yu Shu was thinking about the book upstairs. She didn't have time to deal with Xue Wenzhe, so she said to Cao Zixin: "Let's go upstairs. The books here are expensive. But you can copy it for free if you buy the paper. As long as you don't damage it, it's fine." Cao Zixin went to the hall to buy a book plate. Yu Shu was waiting for him at the stairs with two umbrellas. She looked up at the two huge red magic cloud knots hanging on the opposite beam. She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a cold voice: "What are you doing here?"
Yu Shu lowered her gaze and saw the handsome young man who had appeared in front of her without her noticing. She furrowed her brows. She clearly knew that he was just a child and shouldn't be so calculative with him, but this didn't stop her from hating this ungrateful brat. If it weren't for him, she and Little Xiu wouldn't have gone through such a dangerous adventure last time and almost lost their lives.

Xue Wenzhe was young and couldn't hide his emotions. He said sarcastically: "I heard that you were beaten for a mistake and driven out by the Ji family. I thought you starved to death outside. But it seems that you are alive and well. What are you doing here?"
Yu Shu had never seen someone so ignorant. She had ignored him, but he still talked so enthusiastically.

Xue Wenzhe had a problem with his ears. Yu Shu was young, and a fifteen-year-old girl's voice was crisp and clear. Everything she said was tactful and pleasant, and she didn't deliberately add sugar.
Xue Wenzhe looked at Yu Shu and then looked at 'Brother Cao'. His face became gloomy. He tried to twist his arm, but his wrist was pinched tightly like a pair of pliers. He couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. He couldn't help but angrily said: "Let go!"
Cao Zixin loosened his grip and let him go. Looking at the angry teenager, he slightly frowned and asked Yu Shu: "This is?"
Yu Shu casually said: "I used to study in a private school." Then she added: "I'm not familiar with it."
Cao Zixin: "Oh."
Xue Wenzhe: "!"
Yu Shu was thinking about the book upstairs. She didn't have time to deal with Xue Wenzhe, so she said to Cao Zixin: "Let's go upstairs. The books here are expensive, but you can copy them for free if you buy the paper, as long as you don't damage it." Cao Zixin reached out and took the two umbrellas in her hands. He handed her the brand he bought and followed her upstairs. Xue Wenzhe stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the two people who didn't put him in their eyes at all. His lungs were about to explode. His eyes were red and he said: "Mouse Yu, you used to be around me all day long. How dare you say that you are not familiar with me!"
Yu Shu stopped and suddenly began to regret bringing the Liu family to save this gigolo that day. Every time she met him, nothing good happened. He was simply like a ghost haunting her.
"Young Master, please be careful with your words." Cao Zixin turned his head and looked at the young man downstairs. He was unhappy and felt uncomfortable in his heart. What did he mean by being around me all day long? What did he mean? Didn't Ashu say that he was not familiar with me?
Xue Wenzhe was usually very polite, but when he saw this man who talked to Yu Shu so intimately, he became angry and provoked: "Who are you? I am talking to Mouse Yu, do I need you to interrupt?"
Cao Zixin raised his eyebrows. He was not a young man who didn't know the world. Of course, he could hear a trace of jealousy in the other person's words. He felt it was ridiculous. Not to mention that he now took care of Yu Shu as a friend. Even if he really had other feelings for her, it was not the turn of this young man to provoke him.
He was about to speak, but he heard Yu Shu's voice: "Brother Cao, go quickly, ignore him."
He turned his head and saw Yu Shu pointing at his head and winking at him: "This person and this place are a bit, hmm, you know."
Looking at her funny expression, Cao Zixin couldn't help but laugh. He didn't have the mood to argue with the young man and nodded his head to follow her upstairs.
The two figures disappeared at the corner of the stairs. Xue Wenzhe was left alone there. He was full of anger but had nowhere to vent it. When he was about to chase after them, he was stopped by a servant who arrived later.
"Young Master, Young Master, where did you go just now? I was looking for you for a long time."
With this servant's interruption, Xue Wenzhe calmed down for a while. Recalling his behavior just now, he was so embarrassed that his neck turned red. He didn't know what happened to him. He wanted to talk nicely, but when he saw that bad girl, he couldn't help but want to get angry. Forget it, I will spare him today. And that man, his face is full of flirtatious. At first glance, I know he is not a good person. But that Mouse Yu still calls him Brother Cao. Tomorrow when he goes to school, he must ask Yu Xiaoxiu who his sister is with!
"Young Master, where are you going? Don't you want to buy books?"
"No, I am going back!"
"Young Master, slow down. The road outside is slippery. I will hold an umbrella for you."
The master and servant ran out one after the other.
