Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 113: Money-making Business

Wang Jinyi said with concern: "Okay, be careful in the future and protect yourself! Go do your work."

Wu Mei turned around, tears silently flowing from the corners of her eyes. The young lady is such a good person, a rare good person!

Wu Mei wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, sniffed, and went to find Qingyu.

Wang Jinyi now feels more and more urgent to make money. He has to support his subordinates. If he needs to expand the business of finding people, it would be better to post missing person posters in a larger area around, and send people to maintain them regularly. All this requires people and money!

But if the floor is so large, isn't it a bit of a loss? I have to think of a new way!

Wang Jinyi is planning the next step.

Wu Mei took three taels of silver, pressed her handprint on Qingyu, and gave Qingyu the note from the young lady.

Before leaving, he remembered that he had not eaten yet, so he went back to the kitchen to get his food. It was too thin to take away, so he discussed with the kitchen and took an extra steamed bun, which he wrapped in a clean cloth. He also asked for a piece of pickled vegetable and hurried out of the house.

Wu Mei was eager to help others, so she walked hurriedly through the streets and alleys, without noticing that there was a tail following her. This tail was the sister she was trying to help.

As soon as Wu Mei walked into the fence outside the straw hut, someone in the house asked,

"Who is it? Sister, is that you?"

Wu Mei quickly replied

"It's me. I borrowed the money. I'll take you sisters to see the doctor!"

I strode into the room anxiously and saw my eldest sister leaning against the head of the bed. She had already changed her clothes and had a cloth tied around her leg. She didn't look so disheveled, but the bloodstain on her ankle was still faintly visible.

Wu Mei asked,

"I've checked the injury. Is the bone broken? Is there anything else wrong? Do you want to go take another look?"

The eldest sister smiled shyly.

"No, this is fine.

I am recovering at home and have no way to earn a living. I cannot spend any more money!"

"I've borrowed the money. I'll take you to see your wound! Let's go..."

Wu Mei went forward to carry the person, and the sister at the door came in.

"My dear girl, we are not related at all, but you have been helping us two sisters. I don't know how to thank you."

As she was about to salute, Wu Mei hurried forward to stop her. The three girls felt that they were destined to be together, so they introduced themselves to each other. Then they found out that the elder sister was called Feng Jie and the younger sister was called Feng Mei.

Wu Mei thought: My own family's name is more reliable. What kind of name is this family's? A crazy sister and a crazy sister...

Seeing that Feng Jie was busy with sweat, Wu Mei took out the lady's handkerchief and handed it to Feng Jie to wipe her sweat.

"This belongs to my young lady. She heard about this incident and allowed me to borrow the money to take you to see your wounds."

Sister Feng said awkwardly:

"My sister's leg is injured now. She can't do anything and can only stay idle at home. I don't have a living now..."

After she finished speaking, she kept looking at Wu Mei, who felt sympathetic.

"Can you do me a favor? If you help me, I won't say anything else. I can give you half of my monthly salary so that you can help me out."

Sister Feng said embarrassedly:

"Then you won't have any monthly salary? How can I do that? I can still do some work. I learned some martial arts from my father since I was a child. I can go to the escort agency or the pawnbroker to see if there is anyone hiring a maidservant."

When Wu Mei heard this,

"Great! Let me try your kung fu, and if you can, you can help me."

Wu Mei resolutely left the three taels of silver to the two sisters, and then made an appointment to meet at the street corner after dark.

Wu Mei hurried to the dark alley and checked her belongings. They were all there. Her begging bowl was smashed by the carriage.

I had to find another beggar. I ran around for half the afternoon, and the oil mill was probably closed.

Wu Mei quickly picked up half a broken clay pot, repaired it, and used it as a begging bowl.

She quickened her pace and ran towards Youfang Street. Feng Jie, who had followed Wu Mei all the way, looked at Wu Mei's position and suddenly discovered that there seemed to be someone in the oil mill observing Wu Mei. It turned out to be the owner of the oil mill.

The shopkeeper went out and sprinkled water in front of the store, pretending nothing happened. He looked at Wu Mei's position. Sister Feng was shocked, Wu Mei was exposed!

Exposed?! That means the shopkeeper is alert, which means there is something wrong with the oil mill. As the saying goes: If you don't do bad things, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Wu Mei is facing this side at the corner of the street. There is a shop along the street. Why is only his family alert?

They were worried that someone on the opposite side was observing the oil mill!

It is certain that there is something wrong with this oil mill, but what kind of problem it is is unknown.

Sister Feng did not stop, but returned to the straw hut. Sister Feng was gone, so she went back to report the situation. Sister Feng quickly prepared for the action that night.

Wu Mei didn’t know anything yet and was just waiting for the sunset. Finally, the sun sank into the clouds and the moon came out.

There was only one shop left, the Cao family oil shop opposite, which had not closed yet.

Cao Ji is still open so late?

Wu Mei thought to herself: I haven’t seen a single customer come into the store to buy oil today, and the time I had agreed to meet with Sister Feng is almost up, so she could only pick up half of the broken clay jar and walk into the dark alley.

As soon as she entered the dark alley, a man followed in from behind. Without saying a word, he came up from behind and tried to cover Wu Mei's mouth.

Wu Mei crouched down, slightly turned sideways, and hit the man in the ribs with her elbow. Then she quickly threw the man over her shoulder, and he fell heavily to the ground. However, the man did not fall down after landing. Instead, he turned around and kicked Wu Mei in the abdomen. Wu Mei was not prepared and was kicked hard. She stepped back several steps.

After being kicked out of the dark alley, Wu Mei's broken clay pot was smashed to pieces, her body was covered in dust, her hair was scattered, and she looked in a dishevel.

The man pointed at Wu Mei and said arrogantly,

"You bastard, next time I see you, I'll break your legs."

Wu Mei lay on the ground, raised her head slightly, and found through her messy hair that the person who hurt her was actually the worker from the oil mill. Wu Mei covered her aching stomach, groaned softly, and kept gasping for air.

The guy pointed at Wu Mei and warned her: "Don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you! Bah."

The oil mill clerk walked around in the dark alley but found nothing.

Looking at Wu Mei lying motionless on the ground, he spat and left angrily.

The fifth sister staggered to her feet, holding onto the wall. She leaned against the wall to relax and recover, feeling pain all over her body.

This guy's moves are straightforward, but they're extremely powerful. I don't stand much chance of winning if I go against him.

It seems that the lady's guess was indeed correct. There was something wrong with the oil mill. She was begging across the street. What did it have to do with his family? However, she attracted the dark hand and was expelled. The reason was obvious, that is, this shop was worried about being targeted.

Fortunately, I changed into this tattered clothes early today!
