I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

After the old woman finished speaking, the officer smiled, then cupped his hands and said, "Of course I came here to congratulate you. I wish you a prosperous business!"

Hearing that Mr. Gui came to congratulate her, the old woman's face became even uglier. She immediately knelt on the ground and said to Mr. Gui beggingly, "Mr. Gui, I have already paid the tax for this month! You can't do this!"

Hearing the old woman's words, Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel a little strange, wondering why the world was so particular about collecting taxes? It was strange that the old woman knew that she was here to collect taxes as soon as she saw the old woman's wish.

"Hey, Mrs. Chen, I'm not here to collect taxes today! Your taxes have already been paid this month, and I know that I always act according to the tax rate and never collect a penny more! Today I just come to congratulate you!" After saying that, the middle-aged man with a fierce look bent his body slightly, put one hand on his chest, and stretched the other hand slightly forward with the palm facing up, looking quite gentlemanly.

Qiu Yan didn't know much about this kind of etiquette, but it seemed that this kind of etiquette was quite good, so he whispered to Xiao Nan behind him, "The etiquette of your Xichui Town is quite good, very aristocratic!"

After hearing what Qiuyan said, Xiaonan was speechless. She glanced at Qiuyan and wanted to say something but was afraid of being heard, so she said nothing. Anyway, even if she said nothing, Qiuyan would understand it later. Sure enough, when Old Lady Chen saw that Gui Chaye made this move, her originally ugly expression became a little desperate. She naturally knew what Gui Chaye meant. It was not polite for Gui Chaye to stretch out his hand. He was asking her for money. Although the money he asked for was not obvious, he was Gui Chaye, a man from the town government. How could an old woman like her afford to offend him? So although she was a little reluctant, Old Lady Chen still took out two silver coins from her purse and put them in Gui Chaye's hand, and then said, "Gui Chaye, take these two silver coins to have tea."

When Gui Chaye saw that Old Lady Chen took out two silver coins, he seemed very happy. He stood up and shook the two silver coins in his hand, then smiled and said to Old Lady Chen, "Old Lady Chen is so polite and straightforward! In this case, I will not disturb you from doing business. I wish you a prosperous business!" After saying that, Gui Chaye turned around and was about to leave. At this time, the sinister-looking young man lay beside the middle-aged man and said, "Brother, the old woman is still holding two gold coins in her hand!"

Hearing the young man's words, Gui Chaye instantly felt that the two silver coins in his hand were not worth much. He glanced at the old lady Chen's hand, and the old lady's hand was clenched tightly, but he still saw two golden coins from the gap between her hands. So Gui Chaye pushed the young man away, and then looked at the old lady Chen with a fake smile and said, "Old lady Chen, I came to congratulate you on your prosperous business, but you only used two silver coins to fool me. Do you really think I am so easy to fool?" After saying that, Gui Chaye threw the two silver coins in his hand to the ground.

Seeing this, Qiu Yan finally understood that the gentlemanly demeanor of Gui Chaye just now was not a real gentleman, but just a disguised way of asking for money! And he was the kind who was insatiable.

After hearing this, Old Lady Chen's face changed drastically. She said to Master Gui in horror, "Master Gui, I haven't sold many clothes in the past few days. This is all I have left."

"No?" After hearing what Old Lady Chen said, Gui Chaye snorted coldly, then pointed at Old Lady Chen's hand and said, "Then what's in your hand?"

When she heard Guichaye asking what was in her hand, Old Lady Chen quickly put her hands behind her back and pleaded, "Guichaye, I can't give you these two gold coins. If I give them to you, my whole family will starve to death! Besides, these two gold coins are not mine. They are the money for this young man to buy clothes, so I can't give them to you!"

"Money for clothes?" After hearing what Old Lady Chen said, Gui Chaye glanced at Qiu Yan next to him, and then said to Qiu Yan in a bad mood, "Take as many clothes as you want with two gold coins, and get out of here when you're done!" Gui Chaye's purpose in saying this was very clear. He wanted Qiu Yan to consider the two gold coins as Old Lady Chen's money after he took the clothes. Then, when he asked Old Lady Chen for the two gold coins again, Old Lady Chen would have nothing to say. As for whether Old Lady Chen and her family would starve to death because of the two gold coins, that had nothing to do with him.

Hearing what Gui Chaye said, Qiu Yan smiled. He did not go to get his clothes, but looked at Gui Chaye in front of him and said, "Gui... Chaye, right? I have a question for you."

Hearing Qiu Yan's neither humble nor arrogant words, Gui Chaye smiled, looked at Qiu Yan and asked, "Hey! There are still people who dare to ask questions to me, Gui Chaye, this is rare!" After saying that, Gui Chaye smiled, and then continued, "But today I am in a good mood, you can ask anything you want to ask, and after you are done, quickly take your clothes and leave, don't delay my business!"

Asking for money is considered a business. It seems that this Gui Chaye does this a lot. However, Qiu Yan has no control over this and does not want to care about it. So after listening to Gui Chaye's words, Qiu Yan just smiled and said, "Gui Chaye, what do I want to ask you for money?"

After hearing what Qiu Yan said, Chief Gui couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then he said directly to Qiu Yan, "Are you stupid? What do you think I need the money for? Of course I spend it!" After saying that, Chief Gui and the young man beside him laughed again at the same time.

Qiu Yan ignored the two men's laughter and looked at them seriously and continued, "Master Gui, ordinary people may ask for money, but with your style of doing things, Master Gui, you shouldn't need money in this small town, right? Just eat and drink whatever you want, why bother asking for money?"

Qiu Yan's words were full of sarcasm, which everyone could hear. Gui Chaye could also hear it. He was very angry, but Gui Chaye did not lose his temper at this time. He just sneered and said to Qiu Yan, "Boy, you are very brave. There are not many people in Xichui Town who dare to say this to Gui Ye! Tell me your name, so that Gui Ye will know who you are from and why you are so arrogant!"

"I'm just an unknown person. Mr. Gui doesn't need to know my name!" Qiu Yan's tone was still flat.

"You kid, our Master Gui has given you face, right? Believe it or not, Master Gui can make sure you don't survive this night!" These words were not said by Master Gui, but by the sinister man next to Master Gui. When he said this, the sinister man's hand almost pointed at Qiu Yan's face, but Qiu Yan still stood there motionless, neither angry nor hiding.

After listening to the sinister man, Qiu Yan wanted to say something, but he heard Xiao Nan hiding behind him suddenly whispered to him, "Brother, why don't we go! They are from the town government, we can't afford to offend them!" After listening to Xiao Nan's words, Qiu Yan thought about it and felt that what Xiao Nan said made sense. Let's not talk about whether he could offend the town government, even if he could, he didn't want to offend them. So Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, and then pushed away the sinister man in front of him, and said to the Gui Chaye, "Gui Chaye, it's not easy for this old woman to sew twenty pieces of clothes. If you just want gold coins, I can give them to you!" After that, Qiu Yan took out five gold coins and handed them to Gui Chaye, and then continued, "Gui Chaye, I have five gold coins here. I hope you won't bother this old woman again after you get the gold coins!"

After listening to Qiu Yan's words, Gui Chaye took the gold coin handed over by Qiu Yan, looked at it, and then said to Qiu Yan with a smile, "Don't worry, Gui Chaye is not the kind of unreasonable person. Since she has given the gold coin, we will naturally not cause trouble for her again!"

After hearing what Gui Chaye said, Qiu Yan just nodded without saying anything else. Then he picked up a few clothes from the ground and prepared to leave with Xiao Nan. But as soon as he turned around, he heard Gui Chaye say, "Wait a minute!" Qiu Yan, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and asked lightly, "Gui Chaye, do you have anything else to do?"

Qiuyan's tone was very polite from beginning to end. When Guichaye heard what Qiuyan asked, he smiled first, then took two steps forward and said, "I think what you said just now makes sense. It won't cost much to cause trouble to an old woman, but it will also be bad for your reputation if it gets out. So I plan to cause trouble to you directly. This way, I can get the money, and if it gets out, people won't say that I'm bullying the old, weak and disabled!"

After hearing what Gui Chaye said, Qiu Yan nodded and smiled, then said, "It seems to be true. I am richer than the old woman, and I am not old, weak or disabled. You can get more by bullying me. I just don't know how many gold coins Gui Chaye wants from me?"
