The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

As she spoke, she pointed her slender finger precisely at the blank space in the contract and suggested, "Here, let's add another clause. If Mr. Zhou's bid is lower than the fair market value, he must pay the seller double compensation!"

Faced with Su Yu's relentless pressure, Mr. Zhou seemed a little helpless, but he had to admit her cleverness.

In the end, he compromised and added the terms proposed by Su Yu to the contract as he said.

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction and signed his name on the contract stroke by stroke. Although the handwriting was as sloppy as a dog's crawl, it was full of the pride of a winner.

She left Zhouji Antique Shop contentedly, carrying a hundred taels of silver and a gold needle.

Grandpa Zhou watched Su Yu leave. Looking at her crooked signature, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed in his heart: Oh, it would be better not to let her write.

As soon as Su Yu stepped out of the store, Zheng Jun followed closely behind him like a shadow.

He deliberately kept a distance that was neither too far nor too close, with an attentive smile on his face.

"What are you following me for?"

Su Yu stopped and stared at him with dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun hurriedly explained: "I see the journey is long, and I happen to have a carriage, why don't I take the young lady home? So you don't have to travel so much."

Su Yu smiled coldly and declined politely: "No need, I have other things to do."

It was a rare trip to the city, and now that she had money, how could she miss this opportunity to go shopping? The prosperity and bustle of Ning County and the dazzling array of goods were an irresistible temptation to her.

"Young lady, you do your thing. I can wait for you and will never disturb you."

Zheng Jun still did not give up and insisted.

Su Yu saw through his intentions and said bluntly: "Doctor Shen, please go back. I have signed a contract with Master Zhou. From now on, anything I have will be sent directly to him and will not pass through your hands. Even if you try to curry favor with me, it will be useless."

Her words were as cold as iron, leaving no room for leeway.

After saying that, Su Yu turned around and left, her steps brisk and resolute. Zheng Jun looked at her back, his face uncertain, thinking that he would teach Chang Liu a lesson when he got home, for ruining his plans.

The streets and alleys of Ning County are bustling with all kinds of vendors set up along the streets, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining interweave into a vivid symphony of the market.

Su Yu walked around, finding everything new, with a pair of bright eyes sparkling with curiosity and joy.

After a while, she bought many small items and planned to give them to Xier as gifts.

I only bought a few things and I can’t hold them all in my hands, let alone take them back to Liushu Village.

Su Yu couldn't help but think that it would be better to buy a carriage first so that it would be convenient for traveling in the future.

But then he thought again, he didn't know how to drive a carriage, so he decided to hire a coachman to take him back.

I still need to buy a lot of things anyway, so I might as well take them all away at once.

Just as Su Yu was immersed in this joy and longing, suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a rough sack instantly covered her head. She was instantly dragged by a powerful force to an alley far away from the crowd, and the items in her hands scattered all over the ground with a crisp crashing sound.

She was terrified and struggled hard: "Let me go! Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Her cries echoed in the narrow alley, sounding particularly mournful.

"Help me..."

Su Yu shouted with all her might. Although she knew that her voice might be drowned out by the hustle and bustle of the city, she still tried her best to attract the attention of passers-by.

At that moment, Su Yuqing felt a piercing coldness quietly spreading from her neck, as if countless fine needles were piercing through her flesh, followed by a piercing pain, as if a sharp blade was ruthlessly cutting her skin.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an unprecedented fear and panic surged into her heart like a tide.

"Shut up!"

A deep and fierce male voice exploded in her ears, and the voice was so close that she could almost feel the hot breath from the other person.

She could feel the man whispering threats at her ear: "Hand over the banknotes!"

Encountered robbers! Su Yu's brain was like a wheel in the wind, spinning madly, trying to find any possible way to escape.

At this moment, her sight was bound tightly in a dark world. The knife across her neck was like the soul-snatching chain of the god of death, which made her dare not make the slightest rash move.

Su Yuqiang suppressed her inner fear and tried her best to make her voice sound calm and innocent: "What, what banknotes? I only have some loose change on me. If you don't mind, feel free to take it!"

She tried to use this humble tone to ease the other party's violence and buy herself a glimmer of hope.

However, her plea did not bring her a moment's peace.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

The gangster's force suddenly increased, and the blade was like a cunning poisonous snake, instantly tearing Su Yu's delicate skin. Bright red blood slowly slid down her white neck, leaving a shocking mark.

He sneered viciously, his words full of sinisterness and greed: "Hand over the 100 taels of silver you got from Jishiguan!"

The pain in his neck was like a sharp ice pick piercing deeply, causing Su Yu to gasp.

She realized that the other party had obviously planned it and knew her whereabouts very well.

She was deeply afraid of angering this mad man, who could easily end her life with just a flick of the knife...

Su Yu hurriedly raised his trembling hands and promised repeatedly: "Okay, okay, don't kill me, I'll get it for you!"

She deliberately let her hands tremble like dead leaves blown by the autumn wind, and her voice became trembling: "Brother, you, you move the knife away, I, I'm so scared!"

The gangster looked at her trembling with fear and seemed to think that she had completely surrendered, so he moved the knife away slightly.

After all, he was just seeking wealth and had no intention of actually taking anyone's life.

As the oppressive coldness subsided slightly, Su Yu felt his tense nerves relax a little.

She groped her way into his sleeve. Although her head was covered with a cloth bag and she couldn't see anything at the moment, judging from the footsteps before, there should be only one person on the other side.

If this man really wanted to take her life, she would probably have been beheaded long ago.

Therefore, she concluded that the other party's purpose was only money, but she could not rule out the possibility that he would kill her to silence her after he succeeded.

Su Yu took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve, skillfully wrapped a ten-liang silver ingot in between them, and then threw it forward with force.

She took advantage of the brief moment when the criminal bent down to pick up the money and took off the cloth bag on her head in a flash.

I thought to myself: As long as I can see him, even if I just find a handy weapon, maybe I can give this criminal a fight.

Unexpectedly, after picking up the money, the criminal turned around and ran away. He was so fast that Su Yu didn't even have time to see his face clearly. He only remembered that the back seemed to be a young man.

By the time she reacted and ran out the door, the criminal had disappeared without a trace.
