Chapter 54 Money can make the world go round

As soon as they left, a sneaky person followed behind them.

The couple went all the way to the county market and bargained with the butcher for a long time in the butcher's shop. Finally, Wu bought five kilograms of pork belly for thirty-eight yuan per kilogram, and asked the butcher to give away the worthless pork belly for an additional ten yuan.

All the big bone sticks were given to her.

After buying meat and big bone sticks, Wu and Si Shanhe bought five kilograms of husked rice from the market, and finally went to the grocery store to buy some seasonings such as salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

Si Shanhe followed beside her, his face turning blue every time he saw her paying. Seeing that Wu finally came out of the market after spending almost three taels of silver.

Si Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as relieved as Si Shanhe were the people who followed them quietly.

"Finally finished buying it!" The man sighed.

As a result, Mrs. Wu turned around and ran to a street stall and bought four silk flowers for twelve cents.

Si Shanhe's eyes almost popped out of his head: "Daughter-in-law, let's go to the city gate and wait for the ox cart. If it's late, the ox cart will leave!"

Wu took a still unfulfilled look at the surrounding stalls and followed Si Shanhe out of the city.

When the people behind saw them leaving, they hurriedly followed them.

"Hey, what are you doing sneakily following others?" Suddenly a voice came from behind.

Wu and Si Shanhe, who were walking in front, turned around and saw a young man in government uniform holding a thin middle-aged man.

When the man saw Wu Si Shanhe, he looked over and hurriedly struggled and said, "I don't have it. I was just walking around on the street."

"You still dare to lie! I have noticed you for a long time. I have followed you for a long time. You have been following the couple in front of you from the market, and you still dare not to admit it?" The yamen servant gave the middle-aged man a hard slap.

The middle-aged man suddenly became frightened.

Seeing that he had stopped talking, the yamen officer escorted him directly to Wu and Si Shanhe: "This person has been following you. Do you know him?"

"I don't know, sir, have you made a mistake?" Si Shanhe looked confused, and Mrs. Wu also shook her head.

"Yes, yes, sir, you must have made a mistake. How could I follow them? I don't know them." The man also quickly defended.

The yamen officer glared at the middle-aged man and then he shut up.

The yamen officer looked at Si Shanhe and his wife again: "He has been following you all the way from the market to here."

"What?" Si Shanhe was startled and looked at the middle-aged man carefully again: "I don't know you, why are you following me?"

"I didn't..." The man still wanted to defend himself, but was pushed hard by the government servant. He immediately lowered his head in frustration and said, "It was my shopkeeper who asked me to follow you. He wants to know where you live."

"Your shopkeeper asked you to follow me? I don't know you... it's Yuelai Restaurant?" Si Shanhe looked at him with wide eyes.

The man nodded.

"I knew he was not a good person!" Si Shan was so amiable that he looked at Xing Wu again, bowed to him quickly, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, sir, for today, otherwise our husband and wife might have been followed by others.

We’re at home.”

"It doesn't matter! It is my responsibility as a government servant to eliminate violence and keep good people safe." The government servant waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked at Si Shanhe and asked,

"Yelai Restaurant is very famous in Jinzhou. Have you offended the shopkeeper?"

"No." Si Shanhe was very innocent. Everything was sold to him. Why would he send someone to follow them?

"It's good that you didn't offend me. You should be more careful in the future. Money can make people go around." The Yamen servant reminded.
