Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

When Fang Yu came downstairs, Fang Xin had already packed up her stall and was counting the money.

"Sister," Fang Xin said, having just finished counting, "this is the money I earned today. Can I use this money to apologize to Lord Xiao?"

Unexpectedly, this silly girl still remembered this matter. Fang Yu took her arm with one hand and carried the basket with the other: "Lord Xiao lacks nothing, and he is really not angry. It's still early, let's go shopping first."

Fang Yu wanted to buy some cloth so that Li would make two new outfits for her.

As Fang Xin entered the silk shop, she glanced down at her own clothes, recalling the patched clothes that Li Shi had worn for three years and then at Fang Yu's equally worn-out clothes.

Fang Yu put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Let's go, Xin'er. Now that we've earned some money, we should treat ourselves better. Our clothes are too old."

Fang Xin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister, my clothes are still new, so I'll just buy yours and Mother's."

Fang Yu lowered his head slightly and cupped her face in his hands: "Little girl, we will all wear new clothes, and the house will be built, so you don't need to worry about money."

Fang Xin thought about it again. Earning money is quite easy now, so she stopped thinking about it and smiled, "Okay, wear them all."

She said that, but then she turned her head and looked at the worst quality fabrics.

Fang Yu picked out several bolts of fabric in colors that suited them and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll take all of these bolts of fabric."

"Sister, isn't this too much..." Fang Xin muttered softly again.

Fang Yu paid the money readily and pressed her down with his arm: "Xin'er, have you forgotten the jar of wine I sold to the man surnamed Zhang? Don't worry about spending the money; once it's in my hands, it's ours."

Fang Xin hadn't forgotten about it, but she felt that the money was too much, and that the man surnamed Zhang would eventually return, so she never even considered it.

Fang Xin still felt a pang of heartache after buying so much fabric at once.

Fang Yu actually wanted to buy ready-made clothes directly, but the change was too big, and she was afraid that Fang Xin and Li Shi wouldn't be able to accept it.

Looks like I need to speed up the process of making money.

"Xin'er, let's go to the general store."

As the two sisters walked out of the silk shop, they didn't notice a figure lurking in a corner, following them closely.

Perhaps because this person had no martial arts skills, he did not attract Fang Yu's attention.

"Shopkeeper, pack some of all the seeds in your shop for me."

Fang Yu said as he entered the grocery store.

The shopkeeper and Fang Xin were both taken aback. Fang Xin asked, "Sister, it's not planting season now. Why are we buying so many seeds?"

The shopkeeper remained standing nearby, wanting to confirm whether Fang Yu really wanted that many seeds.

“I know I have a use for buying these seeds.”

The shopkeeper then hurriedly went to pack it.

After leaving the general store, the two sisters wandered around for a while. Fang Yu wasn't just there for shopping.

She is still observing the pedestrian traffic on various streets, looking for a suitable location to open a shop.

"Kill him, you filthy beggar!"

A crowd had gathered in front of them, and the voices came from within the crowd.

Fang Yu had no intention of meddling in other people's business and pulled Fang Xin to continue walking forward.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Fang Xin saw the person lying on the ground being brutally beaten. She suddenly stopped, let go of Fang Yu's hand, and ran over.

"Xin'er!"

Fang Yu didn't call out to her, so she had no choice but to follow.

Fang Xin ran and pushed through the crowd, shoving away the people who were beating someone: "How can you beat someone in broad daylight? Is there no law anymore?!"

"Cough cough!" The beggar on the ground coughed twice, clutching his chest, and looked up slightly at the small figure protecting him.

The man who was hitting her then stopped and said, "Young lady, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. A beggar who steals things like this doesn't deserve any sympathy."

"Impossible!" Fang Xin retorted without even thinking. "There must be some misunderstanding. He couldn't possibly have stolen your things."

The man touched his waist and said, "He bumped into me just now, and my purse disappeared. Who else could it be but him?"

Fang Xin was stumped by the question and was speechless.

Fang Yu pushed through the crowd and walked in, saying calmly, "You're concluding he stole your money just because you bumped into him?"

"Judging from your actions just now, did you search people while you were beating them, and find nothing?"

"How did you know?" the man asked instinctively.

"I guessed." Fang Yu glanced at the beggar on the ground, whose face was covered in dirt. His dark eyes clearly held only resentment. Moreover, he was not long for this world. Why would someone who couldn't survive steal money?

The man then said, "Even if the silver isn't on him, who knows if he has accomplices? There are so many people on the street."

The man's eyes darted around, and he looked at Fang Yu with an all-knowing gaze: "You two are so protective of this beggar, you might be his accomplices. I advise you to honestly hand over the silver you stole from me, or I'll take you to the authorities."

These people are really unreasonable. Fang Yu also lost his previous good tone: "Of course we need to see the officials, but not us."

Her narrowed gaze swept over the crowd of onlookers, finally settling on the man who looked both guilty and gloating.

The man was startled by Fang Yu's gaze. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he turned to leave, but after taking only one step, his ankle was struck by something, and he fell to the ground.

The commotion immediately attracted a lot of attention from the surrounding area, and at the same time, a money bag fell out of the man's waist.

Fang Yu had already walked over, stepped on the back of the man's hand as he was about to pick up the money bag, and then picked up the money bag.

"This is my purse, what do you want to do with it?"

The man, ignoring the pain in the back of his hand, tried to snatch the money pouch from Fang Yu's hand.

The man who claimed his purse had been stolen approached and said, "This is my purse, how did it end up here?"

Fang Yu weighed the money pouch in her hand, scoffed, and looked at the beggar on the ground: "So you still think he stole your purse, and that we are his accomplices?"

The man was a little embarrassed: "Perhaps I misjudged this beggar. I apologize. Young lady, my purse..."

Fang Yu opened the money box and took out two taels of silver: "We can't let people beat each other for nothing. Consider this as medical expenses."

The man was a little distressed, but with so many people watching, he was too embarrassed to argue with the woman and could only accept his fate.

After the onlookers dispersed, Fang Xin turned around to look at the beggar behind her and, without caring whether he was dirty or not, helped him up.

"Are you alright? Aren't you supposed to be very strong? Why didn't you fight back?"

As Fang Xin asked him questions, she ignored the dirt and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

For some reason, the beggar suddenly pushed her hand away, struggled to his feet, and staggered away, clutching the spot where he had been hit.

Fang Xin chased after her, saying, "Don't go. You're so badly injured. You need to see a doctor."

Fang Yu stopped Fang Xin and said to her, "Xin'er, don't chase after him, he won't die."
