"Hmph, to think that you are someone who has read a lot. To think that you open a bookstore, don't you know that even a reader would have difficulty reading? Since we are both scholars, why do you have to make things so difficult for us? " Chu Ying'er didn't like the attitude of the owner of the bookstore very much, so she continued to criticize him.

"Since you are so loyal and willing to help others, then you have to pay for this book!" The owner of the bookstore directly asked Chu Ying'er for the money for the book after hearing what she said.

Chu Ying'er pointed to the book that Tang Gu wanted to buy straightforwardly, and said to the shop owner: "I'll give you two coins. I'll buy that book for him."

The shop owner's face changed colors faster than a book. Upon hearing that Chu Ying'er wanted to buy the book, she immediately replied: "Alright, please wait a moment, I'll bring it over for you right away."

"Humph, snob." Chu Ying'er could not stand the shop owner's bullying attitude. If she did not rush over in time, she might have been bullied to this extent.

Taking the book, Chu Ying'er handed it over to the scholar.

"Miss Chu, thank you for helping me buy this book." Tang Gu said gratefully.

He had originally thought that he wouldn't even be able to make a copy of it, much less buy it today. He did not expect that the Miss Chu would rush over to help him, and was extremely grateful in his heart.

"Small matter, didn't you help me just now? If I'm not wrong, the money you just gave me is for buying books! " Chu Ying'er was usually a little smart, so she was naturally not going to be vague about it at this time.

"Yes, that's right, Miss Chu, how did you come to this bookstore as well? Could it be that you found out about it?" Tang Gu asked curiously.

Hearing the scholar's words, Chu Ying'er did not know whether to laugh or cry. She thought to herself: Why is there only book in this bookworm's heart?

He then explained, "Young Master Tang, you misunderstand. When we parted ways, I saw that you dropped a piece of jade. I chased you here all the way, wanting to return the jade ornament to you. "

Chu Ying'er said as she took out the jade pendant in her hand and showed it to the scholar.

"So that's how it is. Thank you young lady, this jade pendant is of great importance to me." If it wasn't for you discovering it today, I would have found out that the jade pendant was lost in the future and it would have been a great regret in my life. "

Tang Gu rejoiced when he took back the jade pendant, and he was also very happy that he did such a good deed.

Just when Chu Ying'er wanted to say something to Tang Gu, she was pushed towards Tang Gu with a "Ah" sound by the crowd.

Seeing that Miss Chu was about to fall, Tang Gu did not think much into his thoughts, his hands moved faster than his brain, his long arms wrapped around Chu Ying'er's body, and pulled him into her embrace.

Chu Ying'er originally thought that she would fall, she never expected that the weak scholar in front of him would have such a strong sense of responsibility. She felt a sense of security as her body was grabbed by a pair of large, warm hands.

The intimacy she brought with it made Chu Ying'er extremely embarrassed. She had never been so close to an unfamiliar man before, and her small face was flushed red, looking extremely bashful.

And by the time Tang Gu realized what he was doing, it was already too late. In his arms was a pair of soft body, his heart felt like it was on fire. His delicate face was also flushed.

Chu Ying'er and Tang Gu looked at each other, Tang Gu saw that Chu Ying'er was avoiding her gaze and realised that it was not right, she immediately let go of Chu Ying'er's hands and bowed, "Miss Chu, just now, I was in a rush, and was rude.

Chu Ying'er regained her senses and immediately waved her hands: "Young Master Tang, Ying'er understands that Young Master Tang wanted me to fall to the ground earlier, and did not mean it as an offense. He didn't even thank you in time, how could he be angry?"

Tang Gu felt that this lady truly understood the general situation after hearing what Chu Ying'er said. Not only was she straightforward and understanding, she was also a good girl that was hard to come by.

He returned the gesture and said, "This is great. Thank you again for sending the jade pendant. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first. Miss Chu. We'll meet again in the future. "

"We will meet again, Young Master Tang." Chu Ying'er quickly said goodbye and waved goodbye.

After Tang Gu left, Chu Ying'er also hurried back to the stall, afraid that her elder sister Chu Pann'er would worry and quickly rush back.

When Chu Ying'er returned to the stall, she did not even bother to greet Chu Pann'er. Instead, she stood by the side fiddling with the fungus, in a daze.

Chu Pann'er, who had a sharp mind, blanked out on the side when she saw her sister return without even saying a word, and guessed that something must have happened.

Chu Pann'er thought about what would happen as she looked at Chu Ying'er.

She saw her own sister thinking of something and her face turned slightly red. She had a silly smile on her face, as if she was a young girl who had just opened her heart to love and was about to meet her beloved.

The intelligent Chu Pann'er immediately thought that her sister went to chase after a scholar to return the jade pendant, that was why she did this. It was probably because her sister had just started to have feelings for that scholar, and had fallen for him.

So, Chu Pann'er wanted to tease her sister, who had always been carefree, so she teased: "Ying'er, big sis saw that the scholar named Tang Gu looked not bad, did you notice?"

"I hate it, sister."

Sure enough, when Chu Ying'er heard the words "scholar", her face immediately flushed red.

"Yo, my family's Ying'er has fallen for him?" Chu Pann'er continued to speak in an unrelenting manner.

It was because she felt that her younger sister was attracted to a man so quickly. She felt a sense of novelty.

"Big sister, why are you so hateful? If you keep talking, Ying'er will be angry." Chu Ying'er's face was flushed red, she pursed her lips and pretended to be angry.

She was extremely embarrassed after being teased by her sister. Even though she had just thought about it, she still couldn't escape her sister's eyes.

"Alright, big sister is joking. Our Ying'er is also touched, this big sister does not have enough time to be happy! However, we will discuss this matter in the future. After half a day has passed, I should hurry back home after selling all the germs. "

Chu Pann'er said to her sister.

Chu Ying'er was also a sensible girl, and normally would completely listen to her elder sister's words. After tidying up her emotions, she immediately threw herself into selling the fungus.

The two sisters were shouting loudly in the busy street. Soon, all the germs were sold out and they earned quite a bit of money.

Chu Ying'er counted the money, the little girl had never come out to earn money before, she was extremely happy, and worshipped her sister: "Big sister, I never thought that the fungus would be worth so much money."

"Yes, there are also many things that people can ignore and sell for money. When I have time in the future, I will teach you."

Chu Pann'er was very satisfied with her sister's excited look.

"Yes, sister. Let's pack up and go home."

Chu Ying'er was proud of having such a capable sister.

Thus, the two sisters quickly finished cleaning up the stand and went to the side to call Xing Luan and the Grandpa Niu who were changing shifts to get ready to go back.

The few of them chatted and laughed along the way, returning home in high spirits.

When they almost reached home, Chu Pann'er bid farewell to Grandpa Niu. In order to thank him for driving the carriage with them, she gave him a few coins. Grandpa Niu could only accept it helplessly.

"Eh? Sister, Xing Luan, quickly look, it seems like someone came to our house. " Seeing that the house was bustling, Chu Ying'er told the two of them.

Chu Pann'er and Xing Luan had noticed this long ago, and they had their own suspicions.

As the few of them walked closer and saw the smiling face of the Madam Liu welcoming them, their intuition told them that something bad was about to happen.

Chu Pann'er then went forward and asked the Madam Liu: "Second Aunt, what are you doing?"
