Chapter 52

Taking Liu'er and Liu Yuan into the jade shop together, talking to the owner of the jade shop about his requirements, and setting a time to pick up the jade pendant, Gu Chen and his party left the shop.

Because not much time was wasted, when Gu Chen came out, the sunlight outside was still dazzling, making Gu Chen frown uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan misunderstood something, and asked with concern:

"Are you okay? Is your body feeling unwell?"

"Thank you, brother Liu, for your concern. I have nothing to do, but... I just think the sun is too harsh."

"Oh, I forgot you don't like sunshine."

It was only then that Liu Yuan remembered that Gu Chen really didn't like basking in the sun, so he laughed and said:
"However, if you stay in a cold place all the time, your body will also break down. It will also be good for you to get more sunshine."

"Well, I know."

Gu Chen smiled on the surface, but rolled his eyes in his heart.

This meant that he was not a ghost, otherwise Gu Chen could have taken Liu Yuan's words as a provocation.

Talking and laughing all the way to Tao Mansion, Gu Chen also heaved a sigh of relief when he was about to approach Tao Mansion.

Going out these few times will basically encounter troubles. Once I met Zitong, and once I met the holder of the magic weapon, which made Gu Chen somewhat resistant to going out.

Originally, Gu Chen thought that if he ran into trouble again when going out this time, he would simply stay behind closed doors in the mansion in the future.

Even if Pinghu Division came to investigate him, he would have an excuse. Every time he went out, he would encounter trouble, so what's wrong with being afraid of going out?

Totally reasonable!

But fortunately, it seems that Gu Chen's bad luck didn't last. This time he went out without incident, and nothing special happened...

"Damn old woman! I don't know where to look when I walk!"

Gu Chen hadn't finished speaking when he saw an old woman selling cooking cakes at the intersection not far from Tao's Mansion being pushed to the ground by two hooligans.

And those two hooligans were still cursing and patting the dust on their bodies, as if it was bad luck to knock down the old lady.

"Yes... you guys hit me first..."

The old lady was lying on the ground, and the pole on her shoulders fell to the ground, and some of the hot pancakes at both ends of the pole fell out and sprinkled on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen's expression darkened instantly.

Just now I was thinking that I had nothing to do when I went out this time, and I was in a good mood, but I didn't expect to see this kind of thing at my door in the blink of an eye.

The good mood was ruined.

Feeling a little upset, Gu Chen glanced indifferently at the two hooligans who were still cursing in their mouths, took a deep breath, then looked worried, and looked at Liu Yuan faintly with a bit of unbearable and angry:

"Brother Liu... this..."

"Brother Gu, don't worry, I'll go and have a look."

No need for Gu Chen to open his mouth, Liu Yuan who saw this scene happening was also very angry. He comforted Gu Chen, then walked up to those people in three steps at a time, and scolded:

"What's going on? What are you doing?"

"Where is the nosy guy from!"

As soon as Liu Yuan made a sound, one of the hooligans yelled impatiently, but just as the words fell, the eyes of one of the hooligans suddenly widened, and he immediately grabbed his companion's arm and tugged. His expression immediately changed to respectful:
"Hey... hey, this...isn't this Liu Tou! Well, Liu Tou, this is our cousin. He just... just came from another county. I haven't seen you before. Please Liu Tou be more considerate."

The hooligan who had just uttered wild words was stunned when he saw his companion's behavior. He stared blankly at Liu Yuan, but he didn't realize it for a long time. He didn't understand what was going on until his cousin pulled him twice again. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Liu Yuan didn't find it strange. Most of the local hooligans in Dan'an City were regulars in the prison, and some of them were arrested by Liu Yuan himself. It's normal to know Liu Yuan.

But now that I know Liu Yuan, things are easier to handle. Liu Yuan glanced at the old lady who was wiping her tears and picking up cooking cakes on the ground, and immediately got angry and asked:
"What's the matter with you? Two strong men in their 20s are bullying an old man, right? I think you want to go to jail for a while!"

"Hey! Liu Tou, you are wronged... you are wronged!"

The cousin among the hooligans recognized Liu Yuan's cousin, and shouted for grievances: "We didn't hit her, it was she who suddenly appeared from the corner and bumped us..."

"She bumped into you, but she fell to the ground by herself?"

Liu Yuan pretended to be you, and you continued to pretend to listen to their nonsense, with a ferocious look on his face, as if he was going to put them in prison in the next second.

The ruffian who spoke said with a sad face:

"Liu Tou, it's really not our fault!"

Liu Yuan wanted to speak, but he heard the old lady on the ground say:
"This... my lord, I... I thought about it, it was indeed... I was walking too fast, and I accidentally bumped into them, alas... I am old and confused..."

The old lady who picked up all the pancakes and put them back sighed and said to Liu Yuan.

The two hooligans were even more excited when they heard this: "Look at you, she said so herself..."

"Even so!" Liu Yuan glared at the two ruffians, and said, "Can't your attitude be better?"

"Yes, yes, we are wrong, aunt, are you all right?"

When Liu Yuan said this, the attitudes of the two hooligans suddenly changed, and they treated the old lady as friendly as they treated their own mother.

Seeing the change in their attitudes, Liu Yuan couldn't say much, he waved to them impatiently and said:

"Go away, if I see similar things happen next time, you two will get out of here and stay in the prison! Do you hear me!"

The two arrogant ruffians left here as if they were running away after being scolded by Liu Yuan.

Gu Chen, who was watching from a distance, saw that everything was over, so he brought Liu'er to Liu Yuan and the old lady, and then praised:

"As expected of Brother Liu, just standing here is enough to scare away these ruffians."

"Hey, what is this? It's just that they've seen me a lot, so they're just afraid of me."

Liu Yuan said embarrassingly, but Gu Chen turned his attention to the old lady, looked at the cake she was carrying, and said a little bit unbearably:
"Ma'am, your cake has fallen to the ground, can you still sell it?"

"It's okay, wait until you go back... It's also good to eat by yourself."

The old lady said kindly, but on her wrinkled face, a bit of distress and depression could be vaguely seen.

Gu Chen sighed, and asked Liu Er beside him in a low voice:
"Liu'er, how much money do I have with me?"

After living in Tao's house, Gu Chen also had his own pocket money every month, which was given by his righteous brother Gu Qianjun.

The money is basically earned by the Gu family's property that is still in Dan'an City. A large part of it is placed in the bank, and the rest is carried by Gu Chen with him. He put his purse with Liu'er.

As soon as Liu'er heard Gu Chen's words, she understood what was going on. She immediately took out Gu Chen's purse, took a few pieces of broken silver the size of soybeans from it, and said:
"The young master wants to buy this aunt's cake, right? If it's just like this, the money is still enough..."

"Oh, this... how can this work, this young man..."

The old lady was stunned for a moment before realizing that Gu Chen was going to buy up all her cakes. She was moved to tears and waved her hands again and again:
"It was because I accidentally bumped into someone that I became like this, so how can I bother this young master, no way..."

"Ma'am, don't be too polite. I don't have much money to spend on weekdays. I just want to eat some pancakes today, so I just want to buy some from you. I have no other ideas."

"Then...then I'll go back and make some..."

"Auntie, don't bother, I want these cakes, Liu'er, go back to the mansion and call a servant to bring the cakes back."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Er smiled and bowed in response, then trotted back to the Tao Mansion not far away.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, the old lady grabbed Gu Chen's hand anxiously and moved, and said tremblingly:

"thanks, thanks…"
