Chapter 107: Watching the Rare Sight

  Zhen and the others finished shopping and rushed back to the big car store, while Ye Luyuan and Hu Zi were still looking at the wonders.

  In the big car store, a merchant bought two large turtles that were several years old. It was said that they not only nourished people but also had a good reputation, and this news caused a small commotion as soon as it spread. Everyone crowded around to watch, discussing and gossiping in all directions.

  "This thing is so big?"

  "This is still considered big, I heard that some places specialize in raising them and they can grow even bigger than this."

  "Raising this, won't we get rich?" The crowd let out a sigh of amazement.

  "This gets better with age, the one I'm raising can last for several years, and its effect is naturally not as good as this." The merchant said proudly, seeing that everyone envied him.

  Everyone thought about it and asked curiously: "Where did this tortoise come from? We shouldn't have such a big tortoise here, should we?"

  As soon as he mentioned this, the businessman was excited again. Good luck came and it was unstoppable. He went to visit an old friend yesterday, how did he know that he would encounter such a good thing?

  "This was bought at the dock this morning, I heard it was transported from Jinhua, there are not many, I'm not talented, just happened to catch up, so I bought these two."

  What good luck! Such a valuable thing was just bought at the right time, and everyone felt sentimental about it. However, they also knew that even if they had encountered such a good opportunity themselves, they might not have been able to afford it.

  Ye Luoyu and Hu Zi were both at an age where they loved to join in the fun, hearing people discuss and gossip, and couldn't resist such temptation, so they followed along. They were small and weak, and of course couldn't push their way through with brute force, but fortunately they were young and agile, and the two of them slipped through the crowded throng like a fish, quickly squeezing their way to the very front.

  People say that this thing is precious and nourishing, Ye Luyuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the soft-shelled turtle, full of longing.

  Zhen and the others searched around but couldn't find Ye Luyuan and the others, and they were worried. Fortunately, that young man remembered that they were together. He told Zhen that Ye Luyuan and the others might be watching turtles.

  He was just passing through Zhongyang County, and he himself disliked the big broken-down inn, so he only arranged for a few followers to stay here. He went to visit friends and stayed at their home. At this time, he bought this turtle, couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, didn't expect one show-off would cause such a stir. His heart was both excited and worried. As an old hand at traveling, of course, he understood the principle that wealth should not be exposed, and now that he had committed a taboo, it was naturally more stable to leave early.

  As people's enthusiasm dissipated, the peddler packed up his tortoise and hastily called out to his followers before quickly leaving.

  Ye Luoyu saw that there was nothing special to see. Just as he felt a little disappointed, after the crowd dispersed, he caught sight of Zhen'er and Ye Baiji, and suddenly had an idea.

  "Is it good-looking? Is it rare? Is it precious? Why don't you take a look?" Ye Baiji started to scold as soon as she saw Ye Luyuan, asking one question after another, leaving Ye Luyuan no room to defend himself.

  Zhen'er sympathetically looked at Ye Luyuan, clearly knowing that the anger he had just received from Liao San hadn't dissipated yet. How could you be so stupid and rush into the fray like this?

  Ye Lu felt guilty and thought to apologize. However, looking around, he saw people intentionally or unintentionally glancing over. Suddenly, he felt that if he apologized, it would be too humiliating, after all, he was a man of pride.

  "It's a good look, unfortunately you can't see it, little girl." Ye Luyuan said proudly with his head held high, but his eyes were fixed on Ye Baiqi's movements.

  Ye Baiji was furious, today everything went wrong. Liao San is not a good thing, he cheated her out of four taels of silver to buy rouge, she originally only wanted to spend two taels of silver, as a result, she didn't even have the money to buy cloth.

  And also Ye Lu is far away, running to join in the fun without even leaving a message, doesn't she know that Zhen Er will worry?

  Zhen'er saw Ye Baiju's face turn red, and she was afraid that she would do something, so she quickly pulled her and said in a low voice: "Let's talk about it when we get back." After all, they still have to give Ye Luyuan some face outside. He is a good big brother who can talk in front of them, but at the same time, he is also a young man who loves face.

  Ye Baiji also understood this truth, and glared fiercely at Ye Luyuan before gathering her things and leaving the carriage shop first.

  Zhen Er rushed out with a smile, holding Hu Zi's hand, leaving only Ye Luoyan with a worried heart, slowly moving his feet.

  "Sorry, Bai Zhi's sister, Zhen Er's sister, brother was wrong, it won't happen again." After leaving the car store, in a place with fewer people, Ye Luoyuan immediately apologized.

  Ye Baiji learned from him just now, raised her head high, looked at him with the corner of her eye, and didn't say a word.

  Zhen'er smiled with pursed lips, knowing that Ye Luyuan was a responsible person and that Hu Zi would be fine with him. She had just been worried and anxious when she complained to Ye Baiju earlier.

  “…Sister Bai Zhu, brother will apologize and give you a gift. How can I be forgiven by you?” Ye Luoyuan said a lot of good words, but Ye Bai Zhu just ignored him, he had to spend some money, preparing to lose some wealth to get their forgiveness.

  "I just heard that the things on the dock are very novel, why don't we go to the dock to take a stroll, I want to see what's interesting, Brother Lu, you can buy it for us." Ye Baiji had been wanting to go to the dock since she heard about the new goods, but her silver money was almost all spent, and Zhen'er would definitely not let her spend more money recklessly, so she could only give up. Now that someone offered to pay, of course, she wanted to take a look.

  "Alright." Yelu Yuan responded crisply, with a hint of anticipation in his tone. He actually wanted to go take a look too; if Ye Baiyi didn't mention it, he would have pestered them into going anyway.

  There were not many people on the street in the late afternoon, and Liao San had already packed up his stall early to go home and help. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother carrying a large ceramic jar, preparing to take it to the workshop, so he quickly put down the pushcart by the wall corner and ran over to take the jar from her.

  "Mother, didn't I say that these things can wait until I get back?" Liao San put down the ceramic jar and turned around to complain to his mother with a helpless tone.

  Liao Danni panted heavily, sitting on the stool, slowly patting her arm and said: "You're so hardworking, you should rest when you come back, I can do it, don't worry."

  Liao San didn't say a word, how could he not know that his mother was saying this to avoid making things difficult for him? His mother was already so old, where would she have the strength to carry such a heavy ceramic jar, wasn't it just to avoid tiring him out?

  "Girl, you're getting older and your waist is still not good. If you get hurt somewhere, won't it be a loss? " Liao San persuaded, "From now on, just take care of the cosmetics, if you need anything, tell me, being able to make good rouge is already a big help to me."

  Liao San said, remembering the four taels of silver he had sold today, and hastily took them out to hand over to his mother, saying: "Mother, look, this is the silver money I sold today, four taels of silver, all from selling your rouge made with flower juice."

  Liao's wife looked at the silver and was overjoyed to tears. It really sold for money, now the old man's medicine expenses for tomorrow are settled.

  Liao San looked at his mother's tears of joy and felt a pang in his heart, but he was also very happy. Fortunately, he didn't chase that girl away today for the sake of his worthless pride, or else they would have started worrying again tomorrow.

  Just as they were rejoicing, a heart-wrenching coughing sound came from inside the house. Liao San and his mother rushed towards the house.
