The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune! Chapter 98 – 98 Of Course It Was

98 Of Course It Was

Lin Xiujuan was overjoyed that her son was willing to study and even said that he wanted to take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official.

After Liu Fengfeng ran away, she chuckled and said, “Little Li is the smartest!”

Lin Xiujuan now had an inexplicable trust in Zhou Xiaoli.

Anyway, as long as Zhou Xiaoli is with her, she would feel that only good things would happen.

As everyone chatted and laughed, the afternoon passed.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu set off for the county city.

Wei Chiyu's friend lived in Old Qin Alley within Gonggu Alley in the east of the city.

Therefore, they went straight to the eastern side after they had entered the city.

There were several alleys in Gonggu Alley in the east of the city. Many families lived there, big and small.

After the donkey cart slowly entered Gonggu Alley, they could still see many small shops on the street. There were grain and oil shops, pork shops, tofu houses, and so on.

This was the first time Zhou Xiaoli had come to Gonggu Alley. She was very attracted by the bustling scene in front of her, so she took a few more glances.

Noticing Zhou Xiaoli's interest in the shops, Wei Chiyu deliberately slowed the donkey cart down.

Zhou Xiaoli sighed in contentment as she watched, “Hey, Wei Chiyu, this street is quite prosperous.”

It was somewhat like a modern pedestrian shopping street. Although she was a small koi in her previous life, she also loved to shop.

Wei Chiyu nodded. “That's right. There are many people here. Over time, many businesses formed. When you come back later, you can go shopping.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoli's eyes lit up and she immediately nodded. “Alright, then let's buy the apprenticeship gift here.”

As the two of them spoke, the donkey cart stopped at the entrance of a teahouse.

Wei Chiyu said that when his friend was free, he would always be at the teahouse. It was better to look for him at the teahouse than at home.

Zhou Xiaoli nodded, but in her heart, she was thinking that his friend must have loved tea a lot.

As they spoke, the two of them entered the teahouse one after another.

It was indeed one of the important places to gather information as shown in the novels and television shows.

This teahouse was crowded and rowdy.

Three to five people sat together at each table, munching on peanuts as they chatted.

Further in was a stage. At this moment, a storyteller was telling an interesting story about the martial arts heroes.

The audience below cheered at the right time. It was very lively.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoli and the other man walked in, the waiter ran over and greeted them.

Wei Chiyu looked around the teahouse and said to the waiter, “I'm looking for someone.”

At the same time, a burly man in a gray gown also noticed them. He stood up and waved at them. “Big Brother, over here!”

As he spoke, he walked over and said happily, “Brother, what a coincidence. Why are you free to come to the teahouse for tea?”

Half of his face was covered by his thick beard, and he had a booming voice. Looking at his speech and movements, there was a hint of recklessness.

Wei Chiyu shook his head. “It's not a coincidence, I'm here to look for you.”

That person was instantly excited. He immediately patted his chest and said, “Did someone offend Big Brother? Big Brother, let me know. I'll bring people to teach him a lesson!”

Wei Chiyu waved his hand. “No, I'm asking for your help. Let's sit down and talk.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Xiaoli.

Only then did that person notice Zhou Xiaoli, who was standing at the side. He could not help but scratch his head and smile in embarrassment. “Yes, yes, let's sit first.”

As he spoke, he ran to his seat and pushed the peanut shell on the table to the side before asking Wei Chiyu and Zhou Xiaoli to sit down.

“This is Miss Zhou, right?”

As soon as he sat down, that person asked casually.

Zhou Xiaoli glanced at him, doubtful of how he knew her, but she nodded. “Yes, that's right.”

“Haha, my name is Li Da. Everyone calls me Bighead. Miss Zhou, you can also call me Bighead like Big Brother does.”

Zhou Xiaoli couldn't help but smile. She had a good impression of this bearded man. She nodded and introduced herself, “My name is Zhou Xiaoli.”

Li Da immediately said, “I know, I know. I often hear Big Brother talk about you. Miss Zhou is really pretty. You're even more beautiful than that official's daughter. No wonder Big Brother always talks about you.”

Wei Chiyu coughed.

Li Da couldn't help but look at Wei Chiyu. He immediately chuckled and shut his mouth.

Zhou Xiaoli was stunned. She subconsciously looked at Wei Chiyu and saw that his expression was the same as usual. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly before saying lightly, “Let's get down to business. It's like this…”

Hence, Wei Chiyu briefly explained their purpose for coming. Finally, he said, “We don't have any workers to help us now. Didn't you know many people in the construction business? Can you help us find some workers?”

Upon hearing this, Li Da immediately patted his chest. “I thought it was something big. Just leave this matter to me. I guarantee that I'll find the workers for you tomorrow.”

Upon hearing that the workers could be found tomorrow, Zhou Xiaoli immediately thanked him. “Thank you so much. We don't need a lot. Just seven or eight people will be enough.”

After being thanked by Zhou Xiaoli, Li Da smiled in embarrassment. “You don't have to thank me. I'm willing to do anything for my big brother. This is just a small matter. It's nothing.”

Zhou Xiaoli could not help but laugh.

It seemed that Wei Chiyu held a lot of weight in Li Da's heart.

After the matter was settled, they exchanged a few more words before Wei Chiyu left.

Li Da was very reluctant that his big brother was leaving. “Big Brother, you've only been here for a while and you're already leaving. We haven't even talked properly.”

Wei Chiyu said, “We still have things to do. Next time, I'll drink with you.”

When he heard about drinking, Li Da's eyes lit up. He immediately said, “Alright, I'll wait for you. We won't go home until we're drunk!”

“Definitely.” Wei Chiyu nodded.

With that, he stood up.

—

After walking out of the teahouse, Wei Chiyu went to get the donkey cart.

When he came over, Zhou Xiaoli remembered Li Da's words and teased, “Hey, Wei Chiyu, Li Da said that you often talk about me. What did you tell him about me?”

Wei Chiyu had just sat on the donkey cart when he heard Zhou Xiaoli's question. He was stunned and cursed Li Da in his heart.

Seeing that Wei Chiyu was silent and his ears were slightly red, the little devil in Zhou Xiaoli's heart began to stir. She couldn't help but lean over and tease him. “Hey, Wei Chiyu, I'm asking you a question. Why do you always talk about me? Ah, could it be that I'm so perfect that you can't help yourself but to fall in love with me?”

When Zhou Xiaoli suddenly leaned in close to him, Wei Chiyu's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and saw a sly look in Zhou Xiaoli's eyes.

His eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curled up. This little girl was having fun teasing him. Was she addicted to it?

He had to teach her a lesson.

Thinking of this, his eyes deepened. He looked into Zhou Xiaoli's eyes seriously and said affectionately, “Of course.”

When Wei Chiyu turned around, the two of them were very close to each other. And now, Wei Chiyu admitted that he had feelings for her in such an affectionate manner.

Moreover, the way he looked at her was so deep that it seemed as if he wanted to suck her in. Zhou Xiaoli was immediately embarrassed.

She jumped away and blushed. “You, you're spouting nonsense. What nonsense are you talking about…”

At this moment, Wei Chiyu's voice rang out again, “Of course it's because your cooking is delicious.”
