Reborn 1980's Petite Wife

Chapter 146 How much is your life worth?
As soon as Jiang Shuzhi brought the boy in, a tall and fierce man walked in outside the door.

"Little girl, have you seen such a tall boy?" The person who came in gestured with his hand.While asking, a pair of eyes searched the shop.

"No! Uncle, is your baby lost?" Xu Jiaren asked innocently.

Another young guy with a watermelon knife came in behind the tall man. He glanced at the shop coldly, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wan, the family courtyard is right in front of you. I've sent people to look for it. This is the last one." shop."

Hearing this, the tall man who came in first entered the shop.

"Are you alone here?" The man came in and asked.

Xu Jiaren nodded, then shook her head again: "And brother Shuzhi! He just said he would go in and change his pants!"

Xu Jiaren took the initiative to stretch out her little hand and pointed to the room next to her.

The man opened the door and walked in. Just as he was about to search carefully, the little girl at the door followed.

The little girl went straight to the corner behind the curtain and shouted, "Brother Shuzhi, someone is going to make clothes! Come out quickly!"

"Understood! I'll come out after changing my pants!" Jiang Shuzhi agreed loudly.

"Uncle, wait outside for a while. Brother will come out soon." Xu Jiaren turned and said to the two men carrying sticks and watermelon knives.

The tall man hesitated while staring at the curtain in the corner, then turned and walked out of the house.

Seeing that he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and rushed to the curtain with a few steps, stretched out his hand and pulled the curtain open.

"Ah!!! What are you doing?" Jiang Shuzhi screamed while clutching his belt.

The tall man glared at Jiang Shuzhi, seeing that there was only room for one person in this corner.Moreover, there are a lot of messy rags piled up, it is impossible to hide people.

Then he opened his mouth and said contemptuously: "They are all men, what are you calling? As if I can take advantage of you?"

"Then you can't rush in suddenly!" Jiang Shuzhi argued with a red face.

The tall man tightened his grip on the wooden stick, only to hear a burst of laughter from the little girl standing next to him: "Brother Shuzhi, why are you shyer than Big Sister?! Shame-"

"You still say! You can't watch the door even if I change my pants? If you keep the shop alone, won't you be emptied!?"

"Where do I have it! This uncle is in a hurry to make clothes!"

"I've said it several times, our shop is not accepting work now! Can't you remember?"

"Wow - woo woo - why are you attacking me? Wow -"

As she was talking, Xu Jiaren seemed unable to stand the accusation, and sat on the ground and began to cry willfully.

The sharp cries and scolding made the tall man frown.

The attendant next to him was also a little annoyed, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wan, this palm-sized place can't hide a single person, he might have jumped into the family courtyard in front."

"Well! Let's go!" The tall man turned around and left.

As soon as he turned around, his cuff was grabbed by someone.

When he looked down, he saw the crying little girl on the ground dragging him.

"Uncle! Don't leave! My brother will measure you right away!" Xu Jiaren cried pitifully.

The tall man pulled out his cuffs and said coldly, "I don't make clothes!"

"Wow woo woo woo—"

The little girl wailed again, this time harsher than before.

The tall man left the shop quickly and irritatedly, this time he never looked back.

Seeing the vicious two people walking away, Jiang Shuzhi quickly closed the door of the shop, then went into the back room, lay down on the ground, pulled out two bags of luggage from under the bed, and shouted inside: "Come out, people are gone."

The boy crawled out from under the bed in some embarrassment.

The dark grid suit on his body was covered with a lot of dust, and his hairstyle was a little messy.

Standing up and patting the dust off his body, the boy sincerely said to the two in front of him, "Thank you for saving me!"

Jiang Shuzhi waved his hand, shaking his head a little shyly: "You're welcome...we..."

"Thank you? Did you thank you with your mouth?" A slightly cold voice said.

Only then did the boy notice one thing. The little girl who was crying loudly just now had her hands clasped on her chest, staring at him indifferently.

If it weren't for the red eyes, who would have thought that she was crying so hard just now.

"I can give you a reward. What do you want?" The boy was also very generous, as if he was not afraid of Xu Jiaren's big mouth.

The more this happened, the more Xu Jiaren felt that this boy was not simple.

There were at least twenty or thirty people who ran past the alley just now, each carrying sticks and weapons in their hands.

So many people, just to chase a little boy?

Ah……

"Don't you introduce yourself to your savior?" Xu Jiaren asked with her chin raised.

It wasn't that she wanted to make such a shocking appearance, it was because Xu Jiaren was too short, if she didn't hold her head up and her chin up, she wouldn't look intimidating at all.

The boy hesitated for a while, and then said: "My surname is Luo, and my name is Luo Yiran. Those people just now were bad guys and wanted to steal my money...Thank you very much for saving me!"

Probably to show his sincerity, after saying this, the boy bowed deeply at 90 degrees to Jiang Shuzhi and Xu Jiaren.

Jiang Shuzhi suddenly felt embarrassed, and quickly helped the boy.

Luo Yiran felt that his words and deeds were enough to convince the two of them.

Unexpectedly, the moment he raised his head, he met a pair of big eyes full of sarcasm.

The corner of the little girl's mouth was raised slightly to one side, and she looked at him with a half-smile.

Although she didn't say anything, she told Luo Yiran with every movement that she didn't believe him at all.

He is obviously a child of four or five years old, why does this little girl in front of him make Luo Yiran feel so much pressure?
"So many people come to rob you, so you are rich?"

"Er - a little bit."

A little? !

Xu Jiaren sneered again.

This boy named Luo Yiran looked sincere, but what he said was half-truth and half-false.

If he wasn't wearing the famous Zlin custom-made suit, perhaps Xu Jiaren would have believed his words.

It's a pity that the small suit on his body alone may not be affordable for ordinary working-class people in this era without eating or drinking for more than ten years!

Just a single piece of clothing can cover someone's salary for more than ten years. This is not "a little" money!

"Okay, so how much do you think your life is worth?" Xu Jiaren continued to ask.

Luo Yiran's eyes flashed coldness, but there was a smile on his face, and he asked politely: "Little sister, how much do you want as a reward? As long as I can afford it, I will definitely give it to you!"

"Wow—brother, are you so generous?!" Xu Jiaren suddenly showed a surprised look that had never seen the world, and turned her head to ask: "Brother Shuzhi, how much do you think we should ask for?"
