MTL - Back Off, Let Me Come-Chapter 48 0: Waiting for your three taels of silver
Chapter 48 048: Waiting for your money
The young man meanderingly went downstairs, and from the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure disappearing from his sight
Isn’t that the young gentleman who is suspected to be Gong Cheng’s wife and brother?
Why did this person leave now?
The young man recruited a handyman to ask what was going on, what was the purpose of Shen Tang's stay in Yuehua Building, but the handyman replied enviously: "You mean that little lady? She came to redeem her, Aunt Lao Chu, who does chores in the back kitchen, is really filial."
The young man lowered his eyelids when he heard the words, thoughtfully.
"Who are you talking about, Lao Chu?"
Since he is the heir of the Shen family, even if there is a Weng, he would be guillotined, so why would he do odd jobs in the back kitchen of Yuehua Building?
There are already many doubts about this person. At this time, I still don’t forget to buy servants. Why buy an elderly handyman and go back?
The young man's eyes darkened slightly, and his thoughts turned a thousand times.
He was already careful and suspicious, so naturally he would not let it go.
"This... the young one has only been here for three months, and I don't know much about it. I know that Lao Chu works in the back kitchen and is a weird person who doesn't talk much."
If he couldn't answer, the young man didn't make things difficult for him.
"Call your master."
Outside Yuehua Building.
Mr. Chu held an old package in his arms, and looked at the empty street with a calm expression, while Shen Tang stood aside and said nothing.
The shopkeeper deliberately gave the space to the "grandfather and grandson" who had been separated for many years to reminisce about the old days, and it was daytime, even in the Goulan cottage where fish and dragons were mixed, there should be no danger, so he said goodbye with confidence. Go back and see that the store is busy with business.
Watching the shopkeeper away, Shen Tang looked up at Mr. Chu again, who still had the same expression. She opened her mouth, worried that she didn't know how to find a topic to break the awkward atmosphere, and her little motorcycle trotted forward with the rein in its mouth, and its head was lightly bumped into her arms.
Shen Tang took it subconsciously.
She thought of how to find a topic.
"Old Mr. Chu, there is still a long way to go back. Why don't you get on the... mule's back first?" She wanted to say "horseback", but no matter how tall and beautiful her motorcycle looks, it is still a mule instead of a horse.
You can’t refer to a mule as a horse…
"Mr. Chu?"
Shen Tang called out again softly, which could be regarded as waking up the old Mr. Chu who was suspected to be in a daze and absent-minded.
He glanced at the motorcycle, and the motorcycle was looking at him.
He looked at Xiao Langjun, who was not as tall as his chest, who was also the new master, and the master was also looking at him.
Being stared at by the same person, he was in a delicate mood, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "I dare not."
Shen Tang: "..."
He called him "slave" in his mouth, but his temperament and his eyes were incompatible with this self-proclaimed, very inconsistent, no matter how she heard it, she felt uncomfortable. So he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Chu, there is no need for this 'slave', you can call yourself by name or character."
Mr. Chu was taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't refute anything, he just followed suit.
"yes."
"Then what's your name? My surname is Shen, my name is Youli, and I'm good at home..." Exchanging names is one of the signs of further acquaintance. Shen Tang opened his mouth according to the standard format of self-introduction, and paused when he mentioned the ranking—
How long have you been traveling at home?
Forget it, I can’t remember it for a while, it’s not important.
She made up a number.
"Xingwu, you can call me Goro."
If you call her Fifth Lady, she has no objection.
only-
A beautiful girl who is always mistaken for a handsome man, the eyes of the natives in this world are more or less wrong.
Mr. Chu said: "Chu, Chu Yao, the words are not obscure."
"Chu Yao? What a good name. 'The banners and flags disturb the clouds, and the forests of sharp blades are wrong. Yang Hui breathes out fire, and the wilderness obscures the lake'. Yao Zhe, Yao Ye, has brilliant Yaoyu, and the word 'no darkness', no darkness and no darkness , the meaning is very good." Shen Tang habitually gave a wave of commercial compliments, and swallowed his complaints back.
Blessings are good, names and characters are also good, but unfortunately reality often contradicts blessings. The person who chose the name hoped that his life would be "brilliant, without darkness and darkness", but at an early age, he was bought to wash dishes in the back kitchen, and he seemed to be abandoned and lost his literary heart.
Alas, it is capitalized miserably.
She brought up the old story again, pointing to the motorcycle with innocent eyes: "Sir, do you want to ride? The motorcycle is good, and the ride is not bumpy."
Chu Yao took the reins of the motorbike from Shen Tang, and signaled her to get on the mule with his eyes. After she sat down firmly, she said softly: "There is no such thing as a master walking while a servant rides. This is against the rules."
Shen Tang muttered: "How can there be so many rules..."
She bought Lao Chu back to take over from Qishan's "guiding NPC" team. She really didn't plan to let the elderly man take care of herself, not to mention that this person will play the role of "half teacher" in the future.
Chu Yao said: "It's not the same."
Shen Tang wondered: "What's different?"
Respecting the old and loving the young is the same wherever you put it.
Chu Yao held the rein in one hand and held his worn-out package in the other, and walked towards the street, instead of answering "what's the difference", he asked a somewhat strange question instead.
"How much did Goro spend to buy it?"
This is asking how much money was spent to buy him?
Shen Tang looked hesitant: "Although, I should take into account my husband's mood and quoted a higher price, but this is dishonest... The master originally planned to bid five taels, but he misunderstood the relationship between you and me, thinking that we, grandson and grandson, sympathized with each other. I took the initiative to reduce it by two or two."
But I didn't know that Chu Yao, who was facing her back, had a strange expression on his face for a moment, seeming suspicious and struggling, complicated and incomprehensible, and she didn't respond for a long time. Shen Tang was wondering if he was ignoring people, but he heard him muttering: "So... it's two or three?"
Shen Tang: "..."
Five minus two equals three...
Is this math problem so difficult?
Hesitating for so long?
Be confident, it's three or two!
"That's right, two or three, you shouldn't have made a mistake..." Shen Tang broke his fingers, convinced that he had made a mistake, and then wondered if he had found the wrong person—you have to hesitate and hesitate again and again for an arithmetic problem of this level. Is the old man really as awesome as Qishan said?
Or, praying for her?
So Shen Tang asked a question that he had held back for a long time.
"Yuanliang said before that Mr. is talented. A talented person, even if he is in a trough, can always find a way to make his life better. Why doesn't Mr. redeem himself? Or can't he redeem himself?"
Although pigs, cattle and sheep are sold cheaply, no matter how cheap they are, they still have to spend money to buy them. How many ordinary people can’t afford to eat them. It can be seen that Chu Yao’s life is poor but not without income.
After working in the back kitchen of Yuehua Building in Xiaocheng for so many years, he never thought about finding a part-time job, earning a little money to redeem himself?
He is educated and capable, and he is more popular than ordinary people wherever he goes, so Shen Tang is puzzled.
"Before Xin Guo is destroyed, a sinner like me cannot redeem himself."
"The country of Kexin has been destroyed."
This rule is naturally abolished.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yao said something that puzzled her.
"It's either unwilling or impossible."
"ah?"
In this case, why not act?
Chu Yao smiled a little puzzled and helpless, sighed with a bit of resignation that Shen Tang couldn't figure out, and the next sentence succeeded in making her bewildered and full of question marks.
He said: "I'm waiting for three taels of silver from Wulang."
The monthly ticket is 868, let’s get a few more tickets to add up to 1,000. Next month, we can draw a prize of 100 yuan more
PS: It’s getting closer and closer to the release of 9.1, and I’m a little excited. Regarding the addition of updates in the first month of the new book's release, monthly ticket rewards, etc., what is the market standard now?
