The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 64: Local Gangsters

However, this also made Shen Yijia realize that hunting for money was not a long-term solution. It wasn’t about the danger, she was confident in herself. Anyway, if she couldn’t beat him, she could run.

However, animals were also intelligent. If she hunted them too often, they would definitely run deep into the mountains. Also, if it snowed in winter, it would be difficult to hunt in the mountains.

She couldn’t just sit back and do nothing when the time came. She still wanted to knock down the house and rebuild it before winter. Otherwise, winter would be too cold for the family.

It seemed like she had to think of another way to make a living.

This was the first time Shen Yijia had thought so hard about a problem. She couldn’t think of a good solution even after thinking for a long time.

She walked to the entrance of Full Fortune Restaurant and was about to get into the carriage when she saw a bookstore from the corner of her eye.

Thinking about how Song Jingchen had already flipped through the books at home several times, she decided to go in and buy a few books for him.

When she walked in and saw the neatly arranged books on the shelves, Shen Yijia felt dizzy. She didn’t know what kind of books Song Jingchen liked to read.

She had no choice but to call the shopkeeper over. “Which are the bestsellers recently? Tell me which books are popular and help me get three of them.”

It wouldn’t be wrong to buy something that everyone liked.

The shopkeeper glanced at Shen Yijia strangely and did not say anything else.

While waiting, Shen Yijia looked around and was inexplicably attracted by an old book in the corner that was covered in a thick layer of dust.

For some reason, Shen Yijia picked up the book instinctively.

“No one can understand that. If you want it, I’ll give it to you at a discount when you buy these three books.” The shopkeeper wrapped up the books and handed them to Shen Yijia. “A total of two taels of silver.”

Shen Yijia was speechless.

She suspected that the shopkeeper knew how much money she had earned today, but she had no proof.

Feeling the pinch, she handed the money to the shopkeeper. Shen Yijia looked at the old book in her hand and felt better.

Her desire to earn money grew stronger.

Seeing that it was getting late and there were still many things to buy, Shen Yijia did not stay any longer and drove the carriage to the rice and flour shop.

She spent a tael of silver to buy some rice and noodles. There were also cheap coarse grains. Not to mention the others in the family, she was also not used to them. Thus, Shen Yijia decided to buy the grains which had better quality.

She did not want to make herself suffer in this aspect. In her previous life, she had heard that money was earned, not saved. Shen Yijia felt that it made sense.

After coming out of the shop, Shen Yijia was about to get into the carriage when a few ruffians surrounded her.

“Yo, when did such a hot girl come to our town?”

“That’s right. This is the first time I’ve seen such a hot young lady. Do you want to play with us?”

The two people at the front, one tall and one short, reached out their groping hands to Shen Yijia as they spoke. The people behind them also laughed.

When the surrounding pedestrians saw this situation, they avoided her. They looked at Shen Yijia with sympathy. Clearly, this was not the first time this had happened.

Shen Yijia tilted her head. Just as the two hands were about to touch the corner of her clothes, she took a step back, reached out, and shouted, “Wait a minute.”

They both paused and were about to get mad.

Shen Yijia continued, “There are too many people here. Let’s find a less crowded place.”

“Haha, did I hear wrongly? This young lady wants to find a quiet place to play with us.” The tall man even dug his ears.

“Big Brother, I heard it too.”

“I didn’t know she knew how to play.” The tall man’s smile faded. “Sure. Come with me. We promise to satisfy you.”

Shen Yijia blinked and nodded seriously. She did not forget to ask the waiter to help look after the carriage.

She followed the group without looking back.

They watched as the little girl followed the group of hooligans into an alley and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Many people shook their heads and sighed.

“Unfortunately, this girl won’t be coming back…”
