Lin Simei held her forehead. This indeed resembled her third sister's character, but her third sister didn't even look at where this place was. She ran around without saying hello, where could she go to find it?

Gongsun Lei comforted: "Don't worry, we have been to this street several times, and your sister also knows the way. Even if she gets separated from us, she also knows the way back. If you are really worried, you can go back to the house."

Wait here."

Lin Simei was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it's my third sister who disturbed the mood. If she hadn't chased a thief, we could still continue shopping now."

"Then you should be a good thief and steal her purse, otherwise your third sister wouldn't chase her. I didn't expect your third sister to be really tough. She's not even afraid of this, and she still dares to chase..."

"She is a little obsessed with money. The thief is not good at stealing from anyone, but he wants to steal his wallet. The wallet contains her pocket money. Can she not be anxious?"

…

"You thief, stop here—"

Lin Sanmei ran very fast, but she didn't expect that the thief could run faster than her, and he got into an alley in a blink of an eye.

Lin Sanmei didn't hesitate at all and chased after him directly.

Then she saw a man who looked like a young man grabbed the thief, took the purse from the thief, held it in his hand and asked her: "Is this yours?"

"Well, it's mine. Thank you!" Lin Sanmei reached out to pick it up.

The young man threw the thief to the servant next to him and asked him to take him to the Yamen. Then he said to Lin Sanmei in a gentle manner: "You're welcome, but as a girl, you better not chase after the thief in the future. People in this alley are more

Less, if they are a gang committing the crime, it will be more dangerous for you to be alone..."

Lin Sanmei only thought that this young man was quite good-looking, so she looked at him a few more times. She didn't want to be looked at by others, so she felt a little embarrassed and said, "I didn't think much about it. I was just chasing my wallet in a hurry."

"How much money do you have in your wallet, is it worth pursuing it like this?" Young Master laughed and asked.

Lin Sanmei blinked: "It's only two or three taels. It's not much money, but I earned it myself. Every copper is hard-earned money. And the purse was embroidered by my sister. I can't

I can’t bear to lose it.”

"Did you earn it yourself?" The young master said with a dumbfounded expression, "Looking at your clothes, there should be a maid at home, and you still go out to earn money by yourself?"

Lin Sanmei lowered her head and looked at what she was wearing today. The silk and satin clothes had been prepared for them by her third sister-in-law Xu Yujin. They were indeed much better than when they were in Zhujiacun.

Then Lin Sanmei raised her head and said, "There is indeed a maid at home, but the real maid is not my maid."

"The maid who is serving you is not your maid, so whose maid is it? Don't you have a bond of sale to them?"

"No." Lin Sanmei said very honestly, "The deed of sale is in the hands of my aunt. I am just renting it and have no money to buy a maid."

"Borrowing? I don't understand very well. How can someone live in someone else's house instead of staying in their own house?"

"Because my mother died and my aunt raised me."

"I'm sorry, I don't know." The young man apologized with an apologetic look, and then asked, "Is your aunt treating you badly, so you have to go out to make money?"

"No, why are you like this?" Lin Sanmei looked at him unhappily, "My aunt is willing to support me, that's because she is kind-hearted. How can I do nothing and just eat free at other people's houses? Let's talk about me.

It’s not like you can’t work now that you’re so old. Since you can make money by yourself, of course you have to make it by yourself.”

With such a matter-of-fact attitude, the young master showed a surprised expression again: "So that's it, I'm sorry, I thought wrong. But most people, girls as old as you are raised in a boudoir.

Not allowed to do any work, just pampered like that... This is the first time I see someone who has a maid at home and still has to earn money by himself."

Originally, Lin Sanmei thought that this young man was quite attractive, and she was willing to chat with him. However, as the conversation turned out to be about topics with different views, she was not that interested.

Sure enough, no matter how good-looking a man is, he is not as good as those brothers raised by his aunt.

There was some impatience on her face: "Why not? It's not like I'm missing arms or legs, so I can't do it... Oh, why am I telling you this? I'm not familiar with you. It's about the purse, or

Thank you, I won’t talk to you if I have something else to do..."

However, before she could finish speaking, the young master noticed it with sharp eyes and immediately changed the subject: "If you really want to thank me, don't you think you should treat me to a cup of tea or something?"

Lin Sanmei, who was about to say thank you and leave, was shocked. She looked at the young master with a fictitious chart and said, "What did you just say! Didn't I hear clearly?"

The young master didn't seem to notice, and said with a smile: "My name is Xiao Xiuzhu, you can call me Xiuzhu. What about you, what is your name?"

"Lin Shuqi, you can call me..." Lin Sanmei said reflexively, and paused for a moment. Wasn't she about to say goodbye? Why did she exchange names again?

Also, why does she feel that this name sounds familiar, but she just can’t remember where she heard it?

Lin Simei is not here. If she were here, she would definitely grab her shoulders and shake her: "You idiot, Young Master Xiao's full name is Xiao Xiuzhu."

When the time comes, Lin Sanmei will put on an innocent expression again and defend herself: "I know Mr. Xiao, but who would remember the name of a person who has nothing to do with them? What's more, you spend all your time talking about Mr. Xiao.

If you call me Young Master Xiao, I will remember Young Master Xiao."

…

The smile on Xiao Xiuzhu's lips deepened: "It turns out to be Miss Lin. I know there is a teahouse nearby. Their dim sum is very delicious and not expensive. It's just a turn away from here..."

He pointed in one direction and specifically told Lin Sanmei how delicious the dim sum was and how delicious it felt in the mouth. It was especially suitable to buy and share with the family.

Lin Sanmei's attention was indeed diverted: "Really?"

Xiao Xiuzhu nodded solemnly: "Of course it's true. I often buy it for my sisters at home. If you don't believe it, you can try it. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay."

"It couldn't be your family, right? You're so generous?" Lin Sanmei was a little doubtful.

"It's not owned by my family, but," Xiao Xiuzhu said, "I know the owner behind this teahouse, so I can get a discount."

Lin Sanmei was even more excited when she heard there was a discount. She was originally going shopping and didn't see anything that she liked on the street. If she could buy some delicious snacks and go home and share them with everyone, then

Pretty good too.

In addition, Xiao Xiuzhu said that the teahouse was not far from here. It just took a turn through the alley and it wouldn't take much time at all. Lin Sanmei thought about it and asked him to lead the way.
