88 Who Has No Story?

Looking at a large ingot of silver, Tangchi was a little moved. Wasn't it just for the money that she worked so hard to sell mushrooms?

However, since she is selling something, she has to compromise on her reputation. Besides, she is an honest person, so how can she just sell it to someone else?

But the money in front of me...

In fact, Tang Chi had long expected that Li Yuanwai's sworn enemy would come looking for her, but she didn't expect that he would take action so quickly and so generously.

"How?" Mr. Zhou looked determined to win.

Tangchi thought for a while, stretched out his hand, and his fingers touched the silver.

Just when Mr. Zhou was smiling proudly, Tang Chi pushed the money back.

"What? Not enough?" Mr. Zhou frowned.

Mr. Zhou is the second richest man in the city. If you offend him, your life will not be easy. At least you can't offend him like this without any protection or backing.

"Let me think about it first, and you can take the money back first."

Although businessmen are all profit-less and greedy, Tang Chi has also inquired about it. Mr. Zhou is more selfish and will go to all lengths for money.

Although he has more money, Tangchi is still not willing to cooperate with such a person.

Master Zhou looked at the soup pool, took back the money and said, "Then you should think about it." After saying that, he led the people away.

Tang Chi continued to close the stall, looking at the Zhen Gourmet House opposite from time to time.

It is estimated that Mr. Li will know about Mr. Zhou coming to see her soon.

As soon as she returned to the village, Tangchi met Widow Zhang who came to see her.

"Sister Zhang, why are you here?"

"I sold my eggs recently and raised some chickens. I'm very busy, so I have time to come and see you." Widow Zhang sent a basket of eggs to Tangchi.

Tangchi declined and refused to take it.

"I've brought them all, and you want me to take them back? If you don't want them, I'll throw the eggs away!"

Tangchi sighed, took the basket and put it away.

Widow Zhang then smiled and walked in with Tangchi.

"You're a very well-behaved rabbit." Widow Zhang said when she saw the rabbit rubbing against the feet of the running pool.

Tangchi put down the basket and bent down to pick up the rabbit and rubbed his face against it. "Yes!"

"But be careful. The village chief is still catching rabbits. If he finds out, no matter whether this rabbit is the other, the village chief will not let you go. If you say that you deliberately commanded the rabbit, he might really kill you.

If you are tied up and burned, no one can save you at that time." Widow Zhang reminded.

Tangchi nodded. It’s not that she hadn’t thought about this problem. The last time the village chief came to check, she was also frightened. But since she saw this rabbit, she couldn’t let it go. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

I feel close.

"Sister Zhang, don't worry, I will pay attention."

Widow Zhang patted Tangchi's hand and said, "I think Aunt Xia and the others still don't want to let you go, so you'd better be more careful."

Tangchi couldn't help but ask: "What are they doing recently?" Are they still preparing to harm her?

"It seems you really don't know." Widow Zhang pulled Tangchi to sit down and said, "Recently, Aunt Xia has been telling people in the village that you have a man hiding in your house. She has seen it!"

"Hiding men?" The only man who has been to her place recently is Zhixian Wenlou. Could someone have seen him?

Seeing that Tang Chi looked a little unnatural, Widow Zhang thought she was scared, so she patted her comfortingly and said, "But that's what she said, but she didn't say anything. She probably got better after reading your diary."

Jealous."

"Yeah." Tangchi nodded.

Widow Zhang had warned her not to be obsessed with Wen Lou a while ago. If she now knew that Wen Lou had come to her home for dinner several times in private, I don't know how she would react.

Tangchi was not prepared to tell her either.

In fact, Tangchi doesn't have such a sense of hierarchy in her bones. It's just that her current status is too low. Anyone can easily kill her, so she has to be careful.

Seeing Tang Chi's solemn expression, Widow Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a rumor, and she has no evidence! People's hearts are unpredictable, I'm just telling you to be careful."

Tangchi nodded gratefully to Widow Zhang and said, "I will be careful."

Widow Zhang quickly changed the topic and said with a smile: "You have become so capable recently. You actually sold mushrooms for more than one tael of silver per pound. I thought I could exchange one egg for eight mushrooms for you!"

Tangchi also laughed when he thought about changing the mushrooms in the first place.

"If Sister Zhang wants to change, she can exchange one egg for eight mushrooms now!"

Widow Zhang hurriedly smiled and waved her hands and said: "It's more than one tael of silver per catty! Everything I eat is silver! I'm not so lucky and can't afford it!"

Tangchi explained with a smile: "Actually, I was lucky. I met a rich man who opened a restaurant in the city and was willing to accept my mushrooms."

At this point, Tangchi suddenly thought of something and said: "Sister Zhang, do you need to go to the city to sell eggs? I think the eggs are sold very well in the city, and they should make more money than others who come to the village to sell them."

Seeing Widow Zhang lowering her head in deep thought, Tangchi thought Widow Zhang was embarrassed. She looked down at the rabbit lying obediently on her lap and said, "My stall will only be used for half a day anyway, and it will be empty in the afternoon.

You can go sell eggs."

"In the city...it's good to wait in the village for someone to collect it. I have enough to eat now." Widow Zhang said with a smile, her whole person a little more gentle.

Tangchi caught the unnatural expression on Widow Zhang's face and felt puzzled.

Looking up to see Tang Chi with a puzzled look on her face, Widow Zhang returned to her usual appearance, patted her hand and said, "I will remember your kindness! I will also consider this matter! It's getting late, at home.

The chickens haven’t been fed yet, so I’ll go back first.” After saying that, she stood up.

"Would you like to stop sitting around and eat together?" Tang Chi also stood up and hugged the rabbit, urging him to stay.

Widow Zhang shook her head. "Next time! I have to go back to feed the chickens today!"

Seeing that Widow Zhang insisted on leaving, Tangchi no longer tried to persuade her to stay. "Then be careful on the road."

"Why!"

After Widow Zhang left, Tangchi stood in the yard in a daze holding the rabbit.

Widow Zhang left in such a hurry, and when she was asked to enter the city, she looked a little unnatural. What happened to her?

Recalling what he heard about Widow Zhang and her occasional behavior, Tang Chi felt more and more that she was more than just a simple widow.

"Alas..." Tangchi lowered his head and touched the smooth fur of the rabbit.

The rabbit's small nose rubbed against her hand, making her palms itch.

"Forget it...who doesn't have a story?" Tangchi said with emotion as he looked at the rabbit.

Just like she also has secrets that she can't tell, it's natural for Widow Zhang to have them too.

"You'll always know when it's time to know, right, Rabbit!"
