The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune!

99 Wei Chiyu, I Want to Hit Someone

“Ah?” Zhou Xiaoli was stunned.

Wei Chiyu smiled imperceptibly and explained, “Li Da likes to cook, but his food is terrible and he makes me eat it every time. That’s why I often talk about your cooking.”

Zhou Xiaoli felt a little awkward and blinked. “Oh, so that’s it. I thought it was…”

At this point, Zhou Xiaoli immediately paused.

!!

However, Wei Chiyu did not let her off. He asked innocently, “Huh? What else do you think it is?”

This time, even Zhou Xiaoli, who prided herself on being thick-skinned, blushed.

When Li Da said that Wei Chiyu often talked about her, she thought that Wei Chiyu liked her.

Now that she knew the truth, Zhou Xiaoli was a little embarrassed. She was too narcissistic. Ah, how embarrassing. What should she do?

Zhou Xiaoli was screaming madly in her heart as she tried to fool him. “Ah, um, I didn’t think much of it. I also guessed that it must be because of this.”

She shifted her gaze and quickly changed the topic. “Ah, right. That Li Bighead looks much older than you. Why does he call you big brother?”

Knowing that Zhou Xiaoli was trying to change the topic, Wei Chiyu’s eyes flashed with a smile, but he went along with her intentions.

He replied, “Yes, Bighead is indeed a few years older than me. However, I saved his life before. From then on, he called me his big brother.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Zhou Xiaoli nodded in understanding. It turned out that he had acknowledged Wei Chiyu as his boss.

Then, she said hurriedly, “Ah, um, let’s go shopping quickly. We still have to buy Zhou Junjun the Four Treasures of the Study Room.”

As she spoke, she urged Wei Chiyu to hurry up.

She was afraid that Wei Chiyu would ask the same question again. It would be so embarrassing.

Wei Chiyu knew what Zhou Xiaoli was thinking, but he didn’t expose her. He nodded dotingly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked the reins and drove the donkey cart slowly away from the teahouse.

They first went to a few grain stores and bought red beans, lotus seeds, dried longans, and red dates.

After that, they went to the butcher shop and prepared to buy the dried meat strips.

Liu Yan said that the tuition fee was 10 dried meat strips for the tutor.

Therefore, when Zhou Xiaoli asked for 11 dried meat strips, the butcher was shocked and quickly asked if he had misheard her.

When Zhou Xiaoli explained that it was for her younger brother who was starting at the private school, he smiled and congratulated her.

“It’s good that he’s studying. In the future, he can take the imperial examination and bring honor to your ancestors. Come, come, Miss, your meat strips are ready. You’re doing well.”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded with a smile and thanked him. Then, she and Wei Chiyu carried the meat strips onto the cart.

After that, the two of them went to the stationary shop to buy Zhou Junjun the Four Treasures of the Study Room.

The Four Treasures of the Study Room were brush, ink, paper, and inkstone which were really quite expensive. No wonder many poor children could not afford to study.

The tuition fees to give to the tutor every year were actually not that bad. A family only needed to scrimp and they should have enough.

However, after becoming a student and entering the school, he would have to buy gifts to show his filial piety to his teacher on every festive season.

Coupled with these expensive four treasures of the study room, ordinary farmers could not afford to bring up a scholar in their family just by farming.

However, Zhou Xiaoli was not too worried about money.

After paying, Zhou Xiaoli took the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone they had bought and left the stationary shop.

After getting on the donkey cart, Wei Chiyu asked, “Where else do you want to go?”

Zhou Xiaoli thought for a moment and asked, “The entrance of the stone gambling den in the south of the city?”

Wei Chiyu didn’t ask further and nodded. “Okay.”

With that, he drove the donkey cart to the southern side of the city.

After going to the transit station to deposit the donkey cart, the two of them entered the den while chatting and laughing.

The entrance of the stone gambling den was as lively as the last time she came, but this time, Zhou Xiaoli specially came to buy stones.

Therefore, after entering the den, she began to pretend to be relaxed as she strolled around, but she was actively looking for a suitable stone.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded out. “Hey, aren’t you the lady who bought that stone the other time?”

Zhou Xiaoli raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a tall and thin man wearing a plain shirt with large sleeves, speaking to her.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoli’s look of confusion, the man continued. “Don’t you remember me? You bought the stone that I liked the last time.”

Then, he turned around and said to his companion, “This is the young lady I told you about. She’s a newbie. Last time, she bought a stone that I liked and got an ice-type jade. I missed that jade back then!”

Towards the end, that person’s tone of voice was filled with frustration and regret.

Hearing these words, Zhou Xiaoli immediately understood and remembered who this big brother was.

However, she wasn’t too warm towards him. She said, “Oh, so it’s you. However, let me correct you. That stone isn’t something you valued. It’s something you didn’t want.”

Hearing Zhou Xiaoli’s words, the man smiled awkwardly and explained to his friend, “Sigh, at that time, I also took a fancy to it. I hesitated for a moment and wanted the shopkeeper to lower the price for me. Then, this little girl bought it.”

Zhou Xiaoli didn’t want to pay attention to this person anymore. He regretted it and was spouting nonsense to make himself feel better.

She simply nodded. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first.”

As she spoke, she was about to leave with Wei Chiyu.

However, that person stuck close to her and introduced himself warmly. “Hey, little lady, don’t be in a hurry to leave. My name is Liu Gen. What’s your name? Let’s be friends.”

Wei Chiyu immediately stood in front of Zhou Xiaoli. He frowned and glared at Liu Gen. It was obvious that the atmosphere was gloomy then.

Liu Gen was a little angry. Wei Chiyu had ruined his plans, but when he looked up and saw the man in front of him with a strong aura about him, it was obvious that he’s not one to be trifled with. He became a little afraid. He chuckled and said, “I just want to be friends.”

However, he did take a step back and put some distance between him and Zhou Xiaoli, but he had no intention of giving up.

...

Thus, he followed Zhou Xiaoli around the den.

As long as Zhou Xiaoli’s gaze lingered on a stone for a few more seconds, he would rush over and pick it up. “Ah, this stone looks pretty good.”

Under his interference, many shop owners carefully inspect their stones after seeing that they were chosen by Zhou Xiaoli. They either refused to sell them or raised the price.

This made Zhou Xiaoli extremely annoyed.

After the shopkeeper raised the price again, Zhou Xiaoli was a little angry. She gritted her teeth and said, “Wei Chiyu, I want to hit someone.”

As she spoke, she moved her wrist.

Wei Chiyu said, “Let me do the beating. It would hurt you if you hit someone.”

As he spoke, he turned around and pushed Liu Gen to the stall.

There was a loud bang from the stall’s framework. It was obvious how painful the push was.

Instantly, Liu Gen cried out in pain. “Ah, young hero, spare me, spare me. I just want to make friends, it’s true.”

Zhou Xiaoli was greatly angered by this person. Even though he was pushed against the frame, she was not appeased. So she said, “No, I’m so angry, I want to hit someone. Let’s see if I can vent my anger by hitting you.”
