"Please don't worry, Miss. After you left, I started fishing for shrimps and fishing for river clams in the lake, and then took them to the township market to sell. I got a lot of harvest, so I should have no problem paying off my debts."

"real?!"

Liu Yufang exclaimed, her eyes still seemed to be a bit unbelieving, "Tugen, you don't have to act like a hero with a sullen face, tell me how much more you have to do."

"No...there really is no eldest lady. What I said is all the truth. Look...I still have a rare big pearl." Chen Tianhua tried his best to defend.

As he spoke, he took out a small piece of flannel from his arms and opened it gently, revealing a crystal clear chicken blood red pearl.

"Wow...what a big pearl...rare in the world..."

When Liu Yufang saw the real thing, she opened her mouth in astonishment. She took the flannel from Chen Tianhua's hand and moved to the window to look at it carefully.

"What is it...is it rare in the world?" A baritone voice sounded from outside the door, and then a young man wearing round gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

Chen Tianhua raised his eyes and recognized at a glance that the foreign minister, a gentle and impressive young man, was the teacher who had just taught mathematics in the classroom.

"Yingshi... you came just in time. Come and see what this big pearl is worth?" Liu Yufang waved.

"Ouch... let me see..." The young teacher named Yingshi came closer and his expression changed immediately, "Wow... these are the best chicken blood red pearls. Look at the size... they are really rare in the world, Fumio... you

Where did you get it?”

He seems very knowledgeable.

"Don't tell me where it came from. First, how much is this orb worth?"

The young teacher took the flannel from Liu Yufang's hand, moved closer to the window and looked at it carefully, muttering:

"My second uncle is very good at appreciating pearls. I have only learned it for half a year with my eldest brother, and I only know a little bit about it. I think this pearl is worth at least two to three hundred yuan."

"Okay... let's just say it's two hundred dollars. I bought it and put it in my gold necklace as a pendant, hehe..." Liu Yufang smiled happily, her smile was so bright.

"No, no... I specially gave this pearl to the eldest lady. The money cannot be calculated." Chen Tianhua, who had been watching with cold eyes, finally spoke anxiously.

He kept the largest pearl, and specially took out a second size, over 1.5 centimeters in size, white jade inlaid with chicken blood, and wrapped it in flannel. It was a gift to Liu Yufang when he made a special trip to visit her.

Swords are given to heroes, pearls are given to beauties.

Unexpectedly, she wanted to buy it with money. Chen Tianhua's feelings were about to fade away. Could he not be in a hurry?

"You gave this treasure to Fumio? You...who are you?"

Only then did the young teacher named Yingshi pay attention to the strange man beside him. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was the man who had been peeping outside the classroom just now, with a sullen look on his face and a slightly sinister look on his face.

"Oops... I forgot to introduce you, Yingshi... His name is Chen Tugen, he has the same surname as you, and he is a fellow villager in my hometown of Xibutou Village." Liu Yufang quickly introduced.

"Oh, you are the Tugen who survived the catastrophe. I heard Wenxiong often mention it. Oh, what a pleasure to meet you. My surname is Chen, Qimei, and Yingshi. I am from Wuxing, Huzhou, Zhejiang."

When Chen Yingshi heard that it was Chen Tugen from Xibutou Village, he breathed a sigh of relief. His unfriendly expression suddenly faded away, and he immediately changed to a gentle and elegant posture. He bowed with his hands and announced his surname.

For a person like Chen Tianhua, he could guess one or two of the other person's personality with just a slight expression.

This young man named Chen Qimei, whose chronological age should be around twenty-two or thirty, appears to be gentle and gentle, but in reality is ruthless and has a cruel personality. He will definitely be a man of great influence in the future and a ruthless character who will enter the world.

"I am ashamed of myself for letting you trouble me. My surname is Chen and my name is Tianhua. Tugen is a nickname I am used to calling in the countryside. It is truly a blessing for Tianhua to meet this distinguished gentleman here."

Chen Tianhua responded to the situation and emphasized his own name.

Tugen must have been called Tugen by people in the village when he was a child. Over time, it became his famous name. However, no one calls his famous name Tianhua anymore, and perhaps they have all forgotten it.

Here, his current identity and status are a bit lowly. Although Liu Yufang and others are new, the concept of family status is still deeply rooted in the society of the late Qing Dynasty.

This earth root is called as a famous name, because it is indeed too rustic and rustic, so it is looked down upon by others.

At this moment, Chen Tianhua felt a faint sense of inferiority in his heart, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Oh, it turns out your name is Tianhua. It's such a famous name. It's obvious that you attended a private school."

Chen Qimei didn't expect that this country boy named Tu Gen not only had a famous name, but he could also speak it well. He looked gentle and knowledgeable. How could he be a country boy?

"By the way, Yingshi, don't underestimate Tugen. He should be called Tianhua. Not only did he go to a private school, but he also studied literature in a foreign church in Shaoxing."

Liu Yufang clearly felt that Chen Qimei looked down on Tugen, so she quickly rectified her name.

"That's right, brother Tianhua, a man must be educated and ambitious. Wenxiong, Yingshi is willing to accept Tianhua as his brother."

Chen Qimei has a bold personality and is also a very trouble-making person. He saw that Liu Yufang cared about her fellow villager Tu Gen, and this young boy Tu Gen also seemed to be in love with her.

Otherwise, how could he, who was heavily in debt from foreign countries, make a special trip to send a rare chicken-blood red orb?

"Of course you can. Tianhua, don't call me Miss. It's very awkward in this Chinese and Western school. Just call me Sister Yufang, or Sister Wenxiong. I'm twenty-two years old this year, and I'm much older than you."

Quite a bit." Liu Yufang replied casually without thinking too much.

She has a cheerful personality and is not very wealthy. Not only does she ask to be treated like a sister and brother, but she also declares her age.

She is of the new school, and the age she reported is of course her full age, not false.

"I'm only two months older than Wenxiong, and I'm also twenty-two years old this year. What about you, Tianhua?" Chen Qimei asked with piercing eyes.

It can be seen that this guy is pursuing Liu Yufang.

Chen Tianhua felt very bitter, so he could only tell his age, "I am eighteen years old this year."

He should be one year older to support his age.

"Oh, what a real little brother, haha..."

After hearing the age reported by Chen Tianhua, Chen Qimei seemed to have eliminated another love rival in her heart, so she seemed very happy.

Liu Yufang also smiled happily.

In her eyes, she may have always treated Tugen as her brother, and she only sympathized with him.

But who knows that Chen Tianhua's complicated and bitter mood at this moment is difficult to describe.

His mental age is twenty-eight, and when he looks at Liu Yufang in front of him, he definitely does not feel like a younger brother or older sister.

Now, he can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"Oh, by the way...Tianhua, I like this orb very much, but if you give it to my sister, it's too expensive and I can't accept it. Just sell it to me for two hundred yuan at a cheap price."
