I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

You could hear a pin drop in the cabin. Song Anning understood what he was saying and was panicked for a moment.

But soon, she pretended not to understand and asked:

"We are discussing business. What is Mr. Su talking about?"

"If you want to talk about business, you need to come back from the beach alive, right?"

Su Chen's face showed a bit of restlessness. He didn't know where this little girl heard the news from, and how dare she go there alone.

"Our ship will stop at Linhai Town for half a day. You can get off there and walk around the town. As for the rest, don't ask. Just go home early."

"My little sister likes toy toys made of shells. When I go to Linhai Town, I plan to buy more for her to play with.

As for business matters, we can discuss it when you have made up your mind."

With a smile on his face, Song An Ning bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, then left the cabin.

"You old fox, you're trying to trick me. You're dreaming!"

After muttering this to himself, he returned to his original position and continued to hide.

Inside the cabin, Su Chen smiled with an ambiguous smile and said softly, "Not really stupid..."

"Master, what are you talking about? Xiangxiang doesn't quite understand. Is the venomous man a good person?"

"We're not like the Wanhetang, who kill and rob people, but we're not pushovers either. We're just doing business, using each other, and making money is all that matters. Whether it's good or bad is none of my business."

Just like the last time at the county government office, having Zuixianju behind me can save me from a lot of trouble.

Zuixianju makes a fortune with her things, and that’s enough.

Half an hour later, the ship slowly docked at the pier. After Song An Ning came out of the cabin, she never saw Su Chen again. Only the housekeeper was waiting at the exit and handed a wooden box to her.

"Miss Song, my master said: The East China Sea is too vast, be careful not to get lost.

If the girl gets into trouble in Linhai Town, the things in the box can save her life at any time."

After saying that, he bowed to Song An Ning and personally escorted him off the boat.

Before leaving, Song An Ning said to him, "Uncle, please say thank you to Su Chen for me."

Linhai Town, nestled at the mouth of a river, resembles a pearl set on the shores of the East China Sea. Although small, it thrives, thanks to its unique location, making it a hub for merchants traveling from north to south.

The streets in the town are narrow and winding, with shops scattered on both sides. The salty sea breeze mixed with the smell of fish hits you in the face.

Standing on the street, Song Anning was confused for a moment. Strange places always make people feel uneasy.

"Miss, do you need a guide? It's only fifty coppers a day. I know the most comfortable inn and the best restaurant in town."

"Miss, I'm cheaper than him, only forty-five cents."

As soon as Song An Ning walked out of the dock, a group of half-grown children surrounded her, holding wooden signs in their hands and trying to promote themselves.

In the crowd, a smaller boy was pushed aside. He didn't say anything, but stood on tiptoe and held up the wooden sign, hoping that his employer could see him.

This aroused Song An Ning's curiosity. Others' prices were forty-five or fifty cents, but his was the only one with thirty cents written on his sign.

"The thirty-cent one is yours."

Song An Ning hooked her finger at him, which caused dissatisfaction among many people.

"This noble man, cheap goods are not good. He even has a burden..."

"That's right. His sister walks slowly. Don't let her delay your business. You should choose me. Forty-five cents will do."

"Besides, he's only been in town for a short time. Unlike me, he was born and raised here. Ninety percent of people in Linhai Town know him. Feel free to ask around."

Only then did Song An Ning see that next to the boy, a little girl of five or six years old was tugging at the corner of his clothes, looking up at Song An Ning with pleading eyes.

Hearing others say this, her eyes turned red and she loudly retorted: "You are talking nonsense. Xiaoyu walks very fast. My brother knows a lot of fishing villages and recognizes many places! He is very capable!"

"Get lost, you beggar without parents, trying to steal our business."

Someone said this, but a burly boy grabbed the fish in the basket and started to eat them.

Using fish as a weapon to hit someone, she had only seen this scene in a TV series in her previous life, where a man beat someone to death with a frozen fish.

The boy knew about the fishing village outside the town and might be able to find out something that the children in the town didn't know.

In the blink of an eye, Song An Ning rushed forward and pulled the little girl over.

"Everyone, these two brothers and sisters are mine today. If they get hurt, I won't allow it."

In terms of age, Song An Ning was only two years older than them, but with her size and extremely fast speed, she managed to scare quite a few people.

At this time, another boat docked at the shore, with quite a few people on board. A group of people no longer paid attention to Song An Ning and rushed forward.

"Here are thirty copper coins. Let's go..."

When she saw the brother and sister just now, she thought of Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue. If she hadn't traveled through time, A Yuan would now be like this boy, taking his sister to the mountains and rivers to earn money.

"My name is Yu Xiaochuan, and this is my sister Yu Xiaoyu. Please give me fifteen cents first. By this time tomorrow, if you are satisfied, you can give me the remaining fifteen cents."

Song An Ning nodded, counted out fifteen coins and handed them to him, then said with a smile, "Just call me Sister Aning. Let's find an inn first. It should be quiet and moderately priced."

Yu Xiaochuan thought about it carefully, then replied respectfully, "Sister Aning, I know of two relatively quiet inns with decent staff. One is 200 wen a day, and the other has a slightly worse room, 150 wen a day. If you think that's expensive..."

Before he could finish, Song An Ning immediately ordered the one that cost 200 wen. He had over 200 taels of silver in his pocket. How arrogant! He had no shortage of money!

"Sister Aning, is this your first time in Linhai Town?"

"Yes, I'm from Ping'an Town. It's not far away, but the only way is by water. You should have heard of it, right?"

The street was crowded with people and the dazzling array of goods was dazzling. Song Anning looked around curiously and replied to him casually.

Unexpectedly, the Yu Xiaochuan siblings who were following Song An Ning changed their expressions after hearing the three words "Ping'an Town" and took a big step back in panic.
