CHAPTER 127: CHAPTER 127: OVER A THOUSAND TAELS OF SILVER

"Shh~" Shen Qingju snorted lightly, imitating He Qiutian’s tone: "Just because you lived in town for two years, you really think you’re a townsperson."

"Pffft—"

Shen Qinglan and Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but laugh.

"You—"

He Qiutian’s cheeks flushed with anger.

"Qiutian, they’re just three village girls, why do you bother stopping them?" One of the girls, dressed richly but looking quite ordinary, said.

He Qiutian felt aggrieved, she just couldn’t bear seeing Shen Qinghe and Shen Qingju doing well.

Although they grew up in the village, they looked better than her.

She liked Li Wei, but Li Wei never gave her a second glance, despite always smiling at Shen Qingju.

Especially when she heard her grandpa say to Grandpa Li: "If it weren’t for Xiaowei and Qingju’s arranged marriage since childhood, I would definitely want Xiaowei to marry my Qiutian. This child, she’s smart and well-behaved, ah, it’s really a bargain for the old Shen Family."

Every time she heard this, her jealousy of Shen Qingju was unbearable.

Thinking to herself, if only she were born earlier, or if there was no Shen Qingju in this world, then Li Wei would be hers.

"Liu Xiangdie, just because you dress richly, don’t think you’re not a village girl from Wan Village."

Shen Qingju couldn’t stand the sight of these people. Clearly, they were all from the village, yet they had to pretend to be town folks.

"You—Shen Qingju, watch your mouth!"

"Oh~ Didn’t you forget who I was before?" Shen Qingju snorted, "What? Can’t keep up the act anymore?"

Liu Xiangdie was He Qiutian’s cousin, and she often visited Lishui Village before too.

Just like He Qiutian, she couldn’t stand Shen Qingju and Shen Qinghe, for similar reasons, but it wasn’t because of Li Wei, she simply didn’t like them for being prettier.

Compared to the small-mindedness of the two, Liu Xiaoting standing nearby was much quieter.

She just stood there silently.

"Qiutian, what are you guys doing here?"

A male voice came from behind Shen Qinglan and the others.

"Cousin!" Liu Xiangdie’s face lit up with joy at the sight of him.

Standing quietly beside them, Liu Xiaoting’s eyes also brightened instantly.

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow, both sisters were interested in their own cousin?

This was getting interesting!

"Brother, Wei Brother!"

Initially, the three Shen sisters didn’t react much, but when they heard the word ’Wei Brother’, they all turned around in unison.

"Qingju!"

Li Wei had thought it was Shen Qingju from the back and followed He Qiuge over to see.

Unexpectedly, it really was Shen Qingju.

"You, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Li Wei, Shen Qingju’s previous arrogance suddenly diminished a lot.

"I came out to buy some things." Li Wei looked at her, "I originally wanted to visit you, but I didn’t know where you lived."

"Where else would we live?" Liu Xiangdie said coldly, "Probably living in some ruined temple."

Shen Qingju ignored her and just blushed, "We live in Baihua Lane, if you want to visit, just find the Shen Mansion."

"Baihua Lane?"

Li Wei was taken aback, while He Qiutian and Liu Xiangdie laughed out loud.

"Baihua Lane?" Liu Xiangdie sneered, "The houses there cost at least a thousand taels. You guys, brag about living in Baihua Lane? Aren’t you afraid people will laugh to death?"

That’s right, originally due to Li Wei and Shen Qingju’s flirtatious glances, He Qiutian gritted her teeth in anger but couldn’t help but sneer, "Really good at boasting, don’t confuse it with some sewage trench and think it’s Baihua Lane."

A thousand taels of silver?

Shen Qingju and Shen Qinghe were momentarily shocked too.

"Qiutian, Xiangdie, don’t be rude." He Qiuge frowned, "I teach you to read and write daily, where did you learn these manners?"

Upon hearing He Qiutian’s "sewage trench", He Qiuge’s expression had already darkened.
