Now, Xiang can no longer be like before.

She changed from going out every day to going out every three days, which saved a lot of money.

However, drinking tea, listening to books, and buying clothes are just for household expenses and are not budget-conscious. It is not enough at all. If you are here in Jeju, 100 taels is really a lot. In the capital, haha!

It's the New Year, and Mrs. Xiang is very particular and ordered a set of clothes for herself.

This outfit alone cost 50 taels, and the living expenses were reduced by half. The two girls only bought an ordinary fine cotton outfit.

In order to hold on until the end of the New Year, she didn't even drink tea or listen to the opera. She sat at the door every day, cracking melon seeds and watching the people coming and going.

At this glance, I could see that something was wrong.

"Zhu Youcai?"

She actually saw him. She had heard that he followed that woman to the capital, and it took several months before she met her.

Mrs. Xiang looked at him as he walked slowly. He was old and walked slowly. Not to mention the wrinkles on his face, he looked very haggard. He was really blind to follow him.

She stood up, patted the melon seed shells on her body, and walked over in a few quick steps.

Without saying anything, he called towards Zhu Youcai's head.

"what"

Zhu Youcai screamed strangely and instinctively covered his head and hid aside. When he saw it was her, his eyes widened in shock.

"Why are you also in the capital?"

"Son of a bitch, I was put in prison by my son, not Fan Shi. How dare you marry another woman without making a sound. What do you think of me?"

Zhu Youcai rubbed his head: "How many times have you been in jail? The first time you ruined the reputation of my Zhu family, and now the second time, do you want me to marry a daughter or a wife?"

"Then you have to hum. Whether it's divorce or divorce, there must be a document, right?"

"Whatever documents we need, let's take it as easy as it can be. It's just a pair of wild mandarin ducks. There's no wedding or church service. You just follow me and sleep together when we get home. You're no better than a concubine."

"You! Okay, just wait. My son is on good terms with the Ji family. I'll let them take care of you."

Zhu Youcai's expression changed drastically, why had he forgotten this matter again.

"Okay, your son just brought you here and stayed away from him. When has he ever helped you?"

"Humph, you didn't help? Then why am I here in the capital, eating and drinking so well, and having girls waiting on you? But you, after coming to the capital, have become such a virtuous person, why are you being bullied?"

"Hmph, it's none of your business, just mind yourself."

Zhu Youcai walked away, and Mrs. Xiang shouted from behind.

"When you can't survive, I have steamed buns in the kitchen, and I can give you one to satisfy your hunger."

Xiang laughed at Zhu Youcai. After hearing this, he wanted to run.

I regretted that I got involved with the Wang family in the past. Now, I might as well live a better life in Qingshi Town.

It was said that Wang's brother would help open a grocery store.

But after I came here, the shop was opened, and no one came to buy it at all. I don’t know why.

Fortunately, the shop belongs to the Wang family and does not require rent, otherwise we would have to pay compensation.

He tried to do other businesses, but no one bought him. Others could sell the same thing, but he couldn't.

He had a large family to feed and had to sit back and forth every day, which almost made him worry to death.

If it weren't for the Wang family's dowry, the Zhu family would have gone to the streets to beg.

Seeing him running away in embarrassment, Xiang giggled, not wanting to be stared at by a man in the distance.

Looking at Xiang's innocent look, he felt itchy in his heart. This woman was different from others.

interesting!
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Ji Li sent a steward to give Xiang a car as a new year's gift.

He did not give it in the name of the Ji family, but in the name of Shitou. For no other reason than he was afraid that Xiang would do anything wrong in the name of the Ji family.

The things are not very expensive, just some things for daily wear, use, and food.

It means worse than the rich and powerful in the city, better than the ordinary people, not enough compared to the superiors, and more than adequate compared to the inferiors.

Mrs. Xiang grinned happily when she saw so many things. She immediately gave two pieces of cloth and two sets of jewelry to the girl, and locked the rest in the cabinet.

This time, my hands were loose again.

After lunch, she went to the teahouse again. As soon as she sat down, a man sat down opposite her.

"Hello"

Xiang was stunned and looked at the man. He looked about forty years old, not short, neither fat nor thin, and very strong.He looks pretty good, and he has a masculine aura about him.

Just like Zhuang Dashan before, Xiang didn't hum, just biting him like this, and the man coughed lightly.

"My name is Qi Yong. I live not far from your home. I saw you scolding that man last time and I thought you were quite interesting. I want to get to know you. It's that simple."

Mrs. Xiang rolled her eyes at him: "I don't want to know you."

"Nothing else. I also like to come to the teahouse and listen to the gentleman above. Let's get together in the future, right?"

"You don't have a wife?"

"No, I'm a escort and I'm often away from home. My wife had one a few years ago and she ran away with someone else."

"What about the child?"

"No, I see you are alone and just want to be with me."

Xiang said in her heart, I think you want to get married, huh, stop teasing me, I've seen through you a long time ago.

"I don't want to have company, I feel quite comfortable alone."

"I really don't have any other intentions. Besides, at your age, I don't dare to make up your mind. If you want to fight, you're going to hit a little girl."

Xiang glared angrily: "Are you thinking that I am too old?"

"It's true, I'm not dissatisfied, it's the truth, so you don't have to worry about anything, just go out and play together."

"Humph"

Mrs. Xiang neither agreed nor disagreed. Anyway, the two of them sat at the same table all afternoon, drinking tea and listening to books. It was this man who settled the account.

A history with Zhu Youcai made her smart.

She likes the feeling of being held in the palm of her hand very much, especially when a man chases after her, which makes her very satisfied and has a sense of presence.

What Xiang didn't know was that her every move was watched by people from the Ji family.

Stone, who is thousands of miles away, knows everything about her clearly.

Also on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, when the Qin family received the New Year's gift, the letter was also delivered to them by the escort.

They don't just deliver goods, they also deliver letters.

After reading the contents of the letter, Shitou snorted softly.

"One hundred taels a month is not enough to spend. It's so exciting. Even in the capital, as long as you plan and spend, your life will be pretty good."

"Did she have a confrontation with Zhu Youcai?"

"I met him once and she beat him up. Zhu Youcai was punished as a dog officer. He was tortured so hard that he looked more than ten years older."

"He deserves it. It's a good thing my aunt didn't kill him."

"Now he wants to go back to Qingshi Town but has no way out. On the surface he is very stubborn, but in his heart he has long regretted abandoning my mother."

"Any more?"

Shitou coughed lightly: "Also, my mother was chased by a man."

"Oh? Hehe, she is destined to have a man. She will never lack a man in her life. She will have many blessings if she leaves your father."

"The man is from the escort agency. His surname is Qi and his name is Qi Yong. His family is relatively well-off and his character is not bad. He has no children and no wife. He is a bachelor. If she knows how to cherish him, he will be a good man."

"Does he know about your mother?"

Shitou shook his head. If he liked it, he would definitely not care even if he knew it.

Qin Yue curled her lips and smiled faintly.

"You must have inquired about the Huang family, right?"

Shitou sighed softly: "The hatred is hard to get rid of, but it has been worn away now. She fell in love with a wealthy businessman in the capital. The man was widowed, so she became his stepwife. However, in such a prosperous place in the capital, her You don’t know if your eyes are not dazzled.”

"Want to visit the capital?"

"Of course I want to go. Growing up, I've only been to Fucheng."

"The Jinshi exam is taken in the capital, so work hard!"

Shi Shi's eyes widened: "My wife wants me to be an official?"

"Just resign after passing the exam. That way your school will have a good reputation. Mr. Jinshi, what do you think?"

"Haha, that's what my wife said."
