The scholar didn't seem to expect that it would be Bai Zhizhi who opened the door. His expression was a little unnatural, and he subconsciously kept some distance.

Bai Zhizhi naturally didn't miss the change in his expression, and her tone became a little stiffer. "What do you want to do by coming here suddenly?"

She is not the original owner, so she naturally won't spoil him.

The scholar frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with her attitude. He suppressed his discomfort and said, "I just came here to buy dried tofu."

"If you want to buy dried tofu, why don't you go to the city? Our stall sells it in the city, not at home."

Although everyone in the village knew that they made dried tofu at home, no one came directly to buy it. This scholar was the first one.

"Who's coming?"

When the third daughter-in-law didn't come back, Qian came out to take a look. The scholar was hidden by half of the door, so she didn't see him.

"Mom, it's okay. Someone just came to our house to buy dried tofu."

When she heard that they were coming home to buy something, Qian looked at her third daughter-in-law with some blame.

"Since you're here to sell something, why don't you invite us inside? What are you standing outside for? Come inside."

Bai Zhizhi touched her nose innocently. She actually wanted to invite the person into the house. Wasn't it an unexpected person she met? If she really invited the person into the house, the old lady would probably be anxious.

Sure enough, when the door was fully opened and the person outside was clearly visible, the smile on Qian's face disappeared immediately.

But since they came to buy something, it was not easy to chase them out directly, so they could only be asked to go into the house.

"I won't sit inside. I just came to buy some dried tofu. My dad is still waiting at home."

As the scholar spoke, he stood in the yard waiting. He didn't want to have too much interaction with this family, especially Bai Zhizhi.

If his father didn't like this dish and it was too far to go to the city to buy it, he wouldn't come here.

Now looking at the person in front of him, he felt extremely uncomfortable and just wanted to quickly grab his things and leave.

"Mom, don't worry about it. I'll get it for her."

As Bai Zhizhi said this, she pushed her stepmother-in-law into the main room.

Qian looked at her several times, and just as she was about to enter the house, she finally managed to utter, "Third daughter-in-law, please don't let your mind wander again."

If the same thing happens again, the third branch of their family will be ruined.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Bai Zhizhi knew what the old lady was worried about, but she couldn't tell her directly that she was no longer the same person, so she could only smile awkwardly.

Qian sighed and walked into the main room and closed the door. What a sin! When will this end?

Bai Zhizhi was also busy. While cooking in the kitchen, she asked the scholar, "How much do you want?"

The scholar didn't even look at her, and just said calmly, "Just take it."

Why bother asking such a hypocritical question? This woman must have attracted his attention.

Bai Zhizhi shrugged, estimated what she had packed and weighed it, and walked out when she felt there was nothing wrong with it.

"Now that the weather is cold, you can keep it for a few more days, but not too long. If it goes bad, you can't eat it."

Adhering to the humanitarian spirit, Bai Zhizhi spoke briefly.

The scholar just glanced at her and took the dried tofu in his hand.

"It's twenty-three cents in total. Do you think you can pay it?"

Bai Zhizhi looked at him in confusion, and really couldn't understand why he didn't pay after taking the things.

Hearing his words, the scholar stopped walking. He thought the woman would give it to him, after all, this had happened many times in the past. He didn't expect that she would actually ask him for money.

"It's not much money. Are you planning to default on your debt?"

Bai Zhizhi tilted her head in confusion. Could it be that this man still thought she was the one who had given away things for free before?

The scholar frowned, his face showing a hint of anger. He quickly took out copper coins from his purse, carefully counted out twenty-three coins and handed them over.

Bai Zhizhi didn't even push it away, but took it directly. Not only did she take it, she also counted it in front of the scholar.

Looking at her seriously counting the coins one by one, the scholar always felt something was strange.
