I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Brave man, don't worry. It's easy to find people. I'll go find them for you right away. How about this, it's almost time for dinner. There's a noodle shop next door that has good food. Go eat there first. When I come back, I'll make sure to find the people for you."

The man with rosacea smiled and said attentively.

Ji Xiaobei laughed and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper. I don't know how to calculate the price."

"20 wen for the introduction fee, 12 wen per person per day, and one meal is included. This is the price at our bank..."

"How about 15 cents per person, without meals?" Ji Xiaobei said. She really didn't want to have meals, it was too much trouble, and with her cooking skills, 3 cents per person would definitely not be enough.

"Oh, no food? This..."

Ji Xiaobei pulled the scarf down on his head, revealing his chubby face.

The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "Brave man, let's talk it over!"

Hearing him calling her a warrior all the time, she sat down on the stool in annoyance. With a crack, one leg of the stool broke. If Ji Xiaobei hadn't had a stable chassis, she would have almost fallen on her butt.

The shopkeeper was terrified. If a warrior of such huge weight broke his arms or legs, he would not be able to take responsibility.

He felt relieved when he saw Ji Xiaobei standing steadily like a monk.

"What's wrong with your stool? Is it so bullying? My legs break when I sit on it." Ji Xiaobei said angrily.

"Brave man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Forget about the meal, 15 cents per person..." the shopkeeper said hurriedly, and brought out the sturdiest jujube wood stool in the store to Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei originally wanted to pay more agency fees, but forget it, it was his stool that was so fragile that it scared her fragile little heart.

Ji Xiaobei paid the money and walked out.

"Hello, brave man. See you later!" The man with rosacea laughed so hard that his nose became crooked.

Ji Xiaobei turned around suddenly and stared at the man with red nose with an angry snort.

The man with the red nose took a step back and leaned against the door frame, looking puzzled. He didn't say anything. Why did the warrior suddenly change his expression?

Ji Xiaobei pulled the scarf down from his face: "Look, I'm a woman! Not a warrior!"

"Ah!" The rosacea nose became even redder and bigger, and he looked embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, lady warrior, no, lady guest, please walk slowly, see you later!

……

It was windy outside, so Ji Xiaobei pulled his scarf up again.

"Didn't find it?" Fu Jichang asked Ji Xiaobei with a gloomy face.

"Do I look like a man?" Ji Xiaobei answered the question irrelevantly.

Fu Jichang said leisurely: "It's hard to tell male from female at this moment!"

"How about this?" Ji Xiaobei pulled his scarf down, revealing his cheeks and chin.

Fu Jichang's gaze did not fall on her face, but moved to her chest. He could not see anything and really could not tell whether she was a woman or a boy.

Seeing him staring at him, Ji Xiaobei shouted angrily, "Have you seen enough? Be careful of getting stye!"

The two women who passed by her were startled and ran away, holding their chests.

Fu Jichang withdrew his gaze and thought to himself, this woman is actually not that ugly, it would be better if she was thinner.

When I looked again, Ji Xiaobei had already walked far away.

"Hey, where are you going?" Fu Jichang hurriedly urged Ma Debiao to catch up.

Ji Xiaobei turned into a noodle shop.

Fu Jichang tied Ma Debiao to a big tree and followed him in.

The dozen or so men I saw when I first entered the market were squatting under the shade of a tree at the door of the noodle shop, gnawing on black steamed bread, and watching Fu Jichang walk into the noodle shop.

Several people exchanged glances.

Three people squatted at the door and continued to eat steamed bread, while the others slipped to the back of the noodle shop.

Ji Xiaobei stroked the bench and found it was quite sturdy. Breaking the bench was a small matter, but falling down was a big deal.

The two men sat down, and Fu Jichang took the initiative to order two servings of noodles, the largest one, and asked the shopkeeper to add two taels of pork head.

"Two bowls of noodles cost 14 cents, and four ounces of pork head costs 10 cents, the total is 24 cents." The waiter said with a smile.

Fu Jichang was about to take out money when he was stopped by Ji Xiaobei.

"Why is it so expensive? Isn't a bowl of noodles 5 cents?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"Sir, you don't know, it's so difficult to buy food now. We plan to close the business next month. The food prices have risen too much, and we can't afford to open the noodle shop!" The waiter was about to cry.

Recently, there are obviously fewer people eating noodles, and those who come to eat noodles all ask why it is so expensive.

This business really can't be done.

Fu Jichang knew all of this and took out the silver to pay the bill.

The hand under the table was held by a pair of big hands.

Fu Jichang was terrified: What does she want to do? In front of everyone, this woman wants to molest me?

Before he could figure out what was going on, the silver in his hand was taken out and replaced with a handful of copper coins.

Ji Xiaobei gave him a sharp look: Cousin Yaozi, you think too much!

Fu Jichang's face flushed slightly, and he quickly handed the copper coins in his hand to the waiter.

The boy walked away thanking him profusely.

The noodles arrived, a big full bowl, and Ji Xiaobei gobbled them up in gulps.

Fu Jichang picked up the noodles with chopsticks, blew on them while eating, and his face turned red and swollen. The noodles were so hot, and that woman must have a sharp tongue and steel teeth, so she wasn't afraid of the heat?

Ji Xiaobei: He has lived in the Ji family for quite a few days, and he cannot be infected by the Ji family's eating habits. Heita's eating speed has improved greatly, but because of his own physical defects - a small throat, he is still very different from Haixia.

Fu Jichang finally finished eating. He raised his head from the bowl of noodles with sweat all over his forehead and looked at Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei looked alert, staring at the three men at the door.

Fu Jichang's eyes were frighteningly cold and he stepped out of the noodle shop.

One of the men whistled and ran away.

Several people not far away jumped out and jumped onto the donkey cart. One of them sat on the shaft, tightened Ma Debiao's reins, and kicked Ma Debiao in the butt.

Ma Debiao was suddenly frightened, and with a neigh, he spread his hooves and jumped out, running away with the people in the car.

Ji Xiaobei was so angry that he started to chase after him, but Fu Jichang grabbed him by the collar and pinned him to the ground.

Ji Xiaobei snorted with his eyes wide open. Damn it, I came to this world only to grab other people’s collars…

Fu Jichang put his finger to his mouth and whistled in the direction where Ma Debiao disappeared. The sound was melodious and echoed in the woods for a long time.

Ji Xiaobei:……?

A moment later, I heard terrified screams coming from the woods in the distance...

After a while, Ma Debiao came running over like a cheetah, pulling two bare cart shafts.

Ah... uh... it braked suddenly and stopped in front of Fu Jichang. Due to inertia, the shaft of the cart hit Ji Xiaobei directly...
