Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 275 The sister of the control group in the imperial examination

"girl……"

Nanny Zhou's voice came from not far away, and the voice was getting closer and closer.

"Mammy, I'm here."

Liu Wenxi quickly responded loudly.

She smiled and nodded gently to Yuan Wei, Yuan Lao Er and Wang Xiaocao beside her.

Then he walked in the direction of the sound with calm yet hurried steps.

After turning a corner, Yuan Wei vaguely heard the nanny's voice full of surprise.

"Miss, why are you here? Why are you alone? Where did the girl who followed you go?"

Liu Wenxi explained to Madam Zhou calmly:

"I just happened to see a cat on the street. It looked so cute, and on a whim I chased it into this alley. Who would have thought I'd lost my way?"

Then, she asked casually, "How did Mammy know I was here?"

"My cousin told me." Nanny Zhou answered truthfully.

"Oh! Is that so?" Liu Wenxi's tone was somewhat unfathomable.

"But is there something wrong?" Nanny Zhou couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked quickly.

"Let's talk about it when we get back..."

As the sound of the two people's conversation gradually faded away, it finally disappeared without a trace.

The second elder and Wang Xiaocao, who had been on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

The extremely nervous mood finally calmed down.

“Puff… hehe…”

A clear and pleasant laugh rang out, and Yuan Wei could no longer hold it back and burst out laughing.

Her lively eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she said to Yuan Lao Er and Wang Xiaocao in a coquettish tone, "Dad, Mom, why are you so nervous?"

The second elder beside him scratched his head, a simple yet cheerful smile on his face, and replied, "I don't know why, but I just feel nervous."

At this time, Wang Xiaocao walked up quickly and looked Yuan Wei up and down eagerly.

After a careful check, I confirmed that my baby daughter was not injured, and I felt a little relieved.

But he soon frowned again, stretched out his finger and tapped Yuan Wei's smooth forehead heavily, his face full of disapproval.

In Wang Xiaocao's heart, no matter who is in danger, it is not as important as the safety of her own children.

She really didn't like seeing Yuan Wei charging forward recklessly like she did today.

Even though Yuan Wei is very strong and can easily deal with these thugs in front of her, what if one day she meets an opponent who is stronger and more ferocious than her?

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

Yuan Wei naturally understood Wang Xiaocao's thoughts and knew that her behavior was reckless in their eyes.

She quickly put on a flattering smile, and like a child who had done something wrong, she hugged Wang Xiaocao's arm tightly and started to act coquettishly.

"Mom, mom, I'm fine, aren't I? My dearest mom, please don't be angry. You won't be beautiful if you're angry..."

Wang Xiaocao finally softened her heart, and after being coaxed by Yuan Wei, her originally tense expression gradually relaxed.

The family waited there for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual around them, they slowly walked out.

As for the three guys lying on the ground, they were completely left aside and no one paid any attention to them.

Just let them continue lying there, they won't wake up for a while anyway.

If you wake up and find yourself tied up, can't you save yourself?

When Yuan Wei and the other two returned home, Yuan Lao Er was immediately called away by Old Lady Zhuang without saying what happened.

The second elder went next door without even entering his own house.

After Yuan Wei returned to her house, she handed the heavy purse that Liu Wenxi had given her to Wang Xiaocao without saying a word.

And said sweetly: "Mom, this is for you, use it for our family's daily expenses!"

Wang Xiaocao took the purse and gently untied the thin rope that tied the bag.

The moment it was opened, her eyes widened with astonishment, and her mouth unconsciously opened into a big "O" shape.

There were two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels lying neatly in the purse, with some gold and silver peanuts scattered around.

She thought that this purse contained only a few taels of silver at most.

But I didn't expect that there were silver bills and gold inside.

That gold is solid.

Wang Xiaocao swallowed, raised his head, and made a series of gestures to Yuan Wei beside him.

Seeing that Wang Xiaocao disagreed with taking Liu Wenxi's money, Yuan Wei quickly took her hand and patiently explained:

"Mom, just look at how Sister Liu is dressed today, and you'll know she's definitely not someone who's short of money."

"I helped her, and she treated me sincerely. If we insist on returning the money, it might end up making her sad."

Yuan Wei tried to persuade her.

"Mom, this was given to me by Sister Liu. We can use it without worry."

Although everything Yuan Wei said made sense, Wang Xiaocao still had some concerns in his heart, and his face was full of indecision.

Is this really appropriate?

Will this cause me to owe a debt of favor that is difficult to repay?

Yuan Wei seemed to see through her thoughts and continued to persuade her:

"Mom, our family is in urgent need of money right now! Why don't you just think of this money as a loan from my sister for an emergency?"

"Once Brother successfully passes the imperial examination, he'll be able to earn money. Then, I can find a suitable opportunity to return the money to Sister Liu. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

At this point, a hint of confidence and expectation flashed in Yuan Wei's eyes, as if she had already seen the day when Yuan Feng would pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family.

Wang Xiaocao was lost in thought.

She knew very well that the current financial situation of her family was indeed a bit tight, and if she could get the help of this money, it would undoubtedly solve many urgent problems.

After a fierce inner struggle, Wang Xiaocao finally let out a long sigh.

As if she had made up her mind, she slowly put the silver and money back into her purse and put it away carefully.

Just as my daughter said, I will treat it as a loan first and return it after two years when I have enough money.

Yuan Wei noticed that although Wang Xiaocao had agreed to accept the money, he still felt uneasy and at peace deep down in his heart.

She felt that Wang Xiaocao could only feel at ease and confident if she had her own career and earned wealth through her own efforts.

"Mom, you've already bought the needle and thread, right? Why don't you start embroidering now?"

Yuan Wei reminded Wang Xiaocao in time.

"When your needlework becomes more proficient and your hand feel improves, you can make some exquisite embroidery for me as a gift!"

Wang Xiaocao's eyes, which were originally a little dim, suddenly lit up, and his whole body seemed to be injected with a powerful force.

She couldn't wait to take out the needle and thread she had just bought today and started dividing the threads.

She was so focused that she didn't even have time to pay attention to Yuan Wei beside her.

Seeing that Wang Xiaocao was no longer worried about the money, Yuan Wei couldn't help but smile, then turned back to the table, ready to start today's calligraphy practice journey.
