Zhou Qing was now really embarrassed.

“You already paid for saving your life yesterday. How can this be a good thing? Besides, it’s not a life-saving action. It’s just a little help.”

Zhou Qing took half of the pile of paper and held it in her arms.”Just pick up the worst pen and inkstone in your store and give me one.”

“The kindness of saving a life is not a mere silver can repay. Young lady, just accept it. For the young lady, it is a simple task. For me, it is a blessing in the snow. Young lady, accept it, so I can rest assured that I can recuperate from my injuries. Young lady, take it all as a good deed.”

Zhou Qing ……

This young man could talk.

“OK, you’ve said it. If I resist again, I’m being pretentious.”

Zhou Qing put the silver on the counter.

As she was talking, Cheng Wu entered from outside.

“Have you bought it?”

Zhou Qing turned for a look, “You’re done so soon?”

Cheng Wu wiped the sweat on his forehead, scratched his head, and laughed nervously, “I was afraid you would wait too long.”

Saying that, his ears burned. Cheng Wu immediately moved his gaze away from Zhou Qing and looked toward the paper in her arms.

“Bought that many?”

Zhou Qing gave a hmmm, and pointed to the remaining half pile of paper and the box that contained the pen and inkstone, “That too. Take them to the cart.”

Cheng Wu gave Zhou Qing a shocked look.

When did Sister Qing become so rich?!

How much did all this paper cost?

Although his thoughts shook briefly, Cheng Wu did not say much and went forward to pick up the things and turn around to go out.

“Thank you, Mr. Shen.” Zhou Qing and Shen Li nodded before taking their leave.

Shen Li retracted his gaze at Cheng Wu’s back and smiled, “That is your brother?”

Zhou Qing was stunned, “Huh? Oh, a friend.”

“Wouldn’t he be a fiancé?”

Zhou Qing ……

What a lovely young man, but why so gossipy!

Uncle ……

It was as if she had discovered something.

Chuckling a little, Zhou Qing said, “Boss Shen is joking.”

“Sister Qing, you ready?”

Cheng Wu carefully placed the things, sat on the cart, and shouted towards the Pen and Ink Store.

Zhou Qing and Shen Li said goodbye and excused themselves.

As soon as Zhou Qing left, Shen Li sat on the rattan chair in the inner room of the store and lifted his robe to reveal the blood-stained white pants inside.

“My Lord, you shouldn’t have just said this store belongs to your family.”

The elder took out a medicine box and applied some medicine to Shen Li’s badly bleeding wound on his leg.

“The wound is in such bad shape. How did your lordship just ……”

“Uncle Zhong, send someone to check her out.” Shen Li interrupted him.

Uncle Zhong glanced at Shen Li, “Didn’t your lordship say last night that she was just an ordinary peasant girl?”

Shen Li leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his brow with a tired look, “Then check it out too.”

Seeing Shen Li closing his eyes, Uncle Zhong’s mouth twitched, and finally said nothing. He only looked down and concentrated on applying medicine to his wound.

This wound was not light. It should have required rest and recovery, but Shen Li himself could only do the matter at hand.

Ay~

The wound was dressed, as Shen Li still had his eyes closed. Uncle Zhong carried the medicine box and quietly withdrew.

When he saw that Shen Li asked the girl whether the person was a fiancé, he thought that Shen Li was interested in something ……

He overthought.

At the reception desk, Uncle Zhong managed the Pen and Ink, while at the back, Shen Li closed his eyes and leaned on the rattan chair, leaving the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Sister Qing.

What kind of a name have you got?

Which Qing?

……

“Sister Qing, how much silver do you need to buy all this? If your grandmother asks me, what will I say?”

Cheng Wu raised his hands and rubbed his hair, looking in a difficult position.

Zhou Qing carried grass in her mouth.

Speaking nonsense with her eyes open, “That store is close to the city gate, doing bad business. However, you can buy one and get two free if you buy something. I bought a pen, and he gave me paper and inkstone.”

When Cheng Wu heard this, his eyes widened in shock.

“You bought a pen and received so much paper? And a free ink stone?”

The shopkeeper was not a fool, was he?

Zhou Qing chuckled, “That’s right.”

Cheng Wu ……

“How about I go buy another pen too? I’ll get more paper for Uncle Huaishan to use.”

Zhou Qing almost fell off the cart and hurriedly laughed. “Paper can’t be stored, and it will get damp after a long time.”

Cheng Wu did not suspect anything but sighed and mumbled, “It’s a pity.”

Zhou Qing vaguely replied.

Before sunset, Zhou Qing returned home.

As soon as she entered the courtyard door, she ran straight to the Second Family Room with her things in her arms, but Mrs. Sun still caught her.

“Little brat, with so much farming work and your father’s injured leg, what are you doing all day? What are you holding in your arms? Stop right there.”

Zhou Qing ran towards the Second Family room while Mrs. Sun followed her steps to stop her.

“I’m warning you. These papers are all for your big brother. If you break one, I’ll rip your skin off!”

When Mrs. Sun’s words fell, Zhou Qing rushed into the house and banged the door shut with her backhand.

Zhou Huaishan jumped off the bed and greeted her. He whispered, “Daughter, you’re back.”

Zhou Qing let out a sound and put her things on the bed. She swept her eyes around the house, wondering where to hide the paper instead of answering.

From outside, Mrs. Sun banged on the door.

“Little brat, open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!”

Zhou Huaishan saw Zhou Qing looking around and couldn’t help but follow suit, “Daughter, what are you looking for?”

Zhou Qing patted the paper on the bed, “Find a place to keep them… or else they’ll be taken advantage of by the main family.”

Zhou Huaishan’s eyes crinkled at the corners.

“Daughter, we have a place in the cabinet where we can hide things, leaving the fireplace under the bed. Is it still necessary to check it out? Or you can hide them in the graveyard.”

Zhou Qing ……

Father, you have lived a perfect life!

Seeing Zhou Qing looking towards the fireplace, Zhou Huaishan immediately blocked the place, “Fireplace will not work. Father will make you chicken tonight. It will be ready soon.”

Zhou Qing ……

I wouldn’t hide the fire stove if you didn’t do the chicken. The white paper was disguised as black paper.

As for the cabinet, the mark was too obvious. One was sure to be found.

Zhou Huaishan, as if guessing Zhou Qing’s thoughts, laughed. “Daughter, don’t worry. As long as your father is on my bed all day, they can’t touch the things in this cabinet, believe me.”

Zhou Qing ……

Zhou Huaishan patted his chest and nodded, “Believe me, as your father, I have no other skills but am very good at playing tricks.”

As they talked, Mrs. Sun’s banging on the door exploded outside.

A loud bang was heard, and the door panel was pushed down by Mrs. Sun.

“Sh*t! My character!”

The moment the door fell, Zhou Huaishan, like a powerful athlete, jumped onto the bed and leaned against the bed cabinet with a desperate look of death.

Also, he did not forget to hold the paper and box Zhou Qing bought.

Zhou Qing ……

“Good, you little brat. The Zhou family’s ancestors’ bones will be angry at you.”

Mrs. Sun rushed in, grabbed the broom in the house, and drew it towards Zhou Qing.
