Only when you travel quickly can you avoid being a stepping stone for the protagonist.

The fox in her arms narrowed his eyes, secretly evaluating Shen Tianchen's attraction to the person he liked. Compared to himself, the fox was very confident.

On the other side, Shen Tianchen walked home angrily. He had not yet recovered from the scene just now. When he was thinking about what to do tomorrow, he met the heroine Li Xiaoxiao who was happily selling goods.

"Scholar Shen, we met by chance." Li Xiaoxiao greeted him, in a good mood. After all, he was the one who helped him, so it was appropriate to say hello.

Shen Tianchen nodded, responded to Li Xiaoxiao, and then saw a pile of things behind Li Xiaoxiao.

These were all bought by Li Xiaoxiao at the market after he earned his first pot of gold. They were useful to eat and even had meat. It seemed like he had gained a lot.

So he had a little thought in his mind and asked, "Miss Li, what are you talking about?"

When Li Xiaoxiao saw him looking at something behind her, she said oh and explained: "I went to the mountains at that time. I was very lucky. I picked some herbs and made some money."

"So that's the case, but Miss Li, you shouldn't show it off so carelessly, you'll attract some jealous people, and..."

He looked emphatically at the pork and other expensive items in her bag, and shook his head: "Although you have made money, you shouldn't be so lavish."

Li Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable. Does he need others to tell him how to spend his money? But after all, he was a kind person to him, and his words sounded caring. Li Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just smiled.

When Li Xiaoxiao was about to propose leaving, Shen Tianchen didn't know what he was thinking. He showed obvious sadness, as if he had to ask her if there was any trouble.

Li Xiaoxiao:…………

Li Xiaoxiao pretended not to see it. Apart from the incident of getting lost on the mountain, the two of them had never interacted with each other. No matter how worried others were, it was not his place to talk.

Shen Tianchen, on the other hand, had his mind set on Li Xiaoxiao. He wanted to borrow some money from Li Xiaoxiao to first use it to ease the situation in the next month. Then Nan Qian might play hard to get again.

And looking at Li Xiaoxiao's appearance, he must have some extra silver in his hand. Although he is not as wealthy as Nanfu, it can still be used to alleviate urgent needs.

But Li Xiaoxiao didn't answer, and even if he sighed repeatedly, it was as if she didn't see him.

He couldn't help but secretly scold this girl for having no eyesight, even though he had taken her down the mountain.

Shen Tianchen had no choice but to direct and act on his own, and said, "Hey, I have a problem. I wonder if Xiaoxiao can help me?"

.........Xiaoxiao even screamed.

Li Xiaoxiao had a sixth sense that something was wrong, so she politely declined: "My little girl is just a poor peasant girl. I'm afraid she won't be able to help Scholar Shen."

"No, a smile can help."

…Don’t you understand that this is a veiled rejection? Still a scholar, or is it intentional? So shameless?

Li Xiaoxiao's good impression of Shen Tianchen for helping her was completely wiped out. Now she just wanted to leave quickly, but she had no choice but to ask: "Tell me, Scholar Shen, what kind of work it is."

"That's it..." Shen Tianchen still put on an embarrassed and shy look, but still said quickly: "I'm ashamed to say that I just met a few gangsters on the road and robbed me of all my money, but I will I need money for something urgent, I wonder if Xiaoxiao can lend me some for urgent use?"

"Of course, I will pay it back!"

Shen Tianchen didn't know why but didn't tell the truth.

It's well-founded and very sympathetic. There's nothing hard to say about yourself, and you can just take this opportunity to repay your kindness.

But why does her sixth sense keep feeling something is wrong.

But she knew from the memory of the original owner of this body that he was the only scholar in the village. She had not heard of any bad news about him. Instead, he and his Taohuanan landlord were relatively well known.

I heard that the southern landowner is the richest family here. He owns several pieces of land and even a manor. It can be said that he is extremely rich.

Scholar Shen was attracted by the landlord from the south. He gave him this and that every day. Even most of the funds for Scholar Shen’s study... no, it can be said that all the funds for the study were provided by the landlord from the south. I just want to use money to force him to compromise...

Why do you still have some envy?

.........Wait a minute, that's not right. Since Landlord Nan is very rich and he is favored by Landlord Nan, even if he has no money, he shouldn't borrow money from himself, right?

With that in mind, she asked.

Shen Tianchen's face turned pale and he hesitated: "I...I...I just don't want to find her. I don't want to be caught by her. It will be bad if she uses this to take advantage of her in the future."

It turns out it’s about saving face.

"But Scholar Shen, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you. The main reason is that you know that our family is too poor to expose the blame. We finally got a fortune today, and we really don't dare to lend it to others." Li Xiaoxiao still refused. .

Just kidding, you never know when the money you borrow will be repaid, and his "troubles" can be solved by just letting go of some dignity. He still needs to use this money to make more money.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tianchen was heartbroken and stopped Li Xiaoxiao who was about to leave, and said anxiously: "Otherwise, we will issue an IOU. You can take this IOU to Nanfu for reimbursement, and I can give you more interest."

After going around and around, I still went to Nanfu to get money, but it was just like Li Xiaoxiao making a trip.

Li Xiaoxiao pouted, this man really liked his face, but thinking of what Landlord Nan did to Scholar Shen, he thought about it and agreed.

This can repay the favor and get more money, but it just requires one more trip.

She had never doubted that Nanfu would deny Scholar Shen's IOU. After all, the timing was perfect. Only Nanfu and Shen Tianchen knew that Nanfu would never pay Shen Tianchen again.

Shen Tianchen's home was not far away. He hurried home and took a pen and paper to write down the IOU and gave it to Li Xiaoxiao, who also gave the money to Shen Tianchen.

Not much, just all the money Li Xiaoxiao had left.

Shen Tianchen took the money and thanked Li Xiaoxiao profusely, and then the two of them went back to their respective homes.

Li Xiaoxiao planned to go to Nanfu to deal with the IOU the next day. She still had big and small bags in her hands. It was really hard to go there like this, and it was getting dark. She learned from Shen Tianchen that she was actually doing this. The village is very conspicuous.

It would be bad if on the way to Nanfu, you encounter thugs who robbed you like Shen Tianchen.

She returned home with her things, and her family was waiting anxiously for her return. She was welcomed by the children at home, and her parents, although they complained about her buying this and that, couldn't help it in their tone. happy.

She felt warm in her heart. She would lead the family step by step to live a good life!

Let’s start with today’s meal!

As for Shen Tianchen's IOU, she chose to hide it. Li Xiaoxiao put the IOU close to her body and walked to the dining table.
