”Back to my room.” Ling Chaofeng's gaze was cold.

”I want to pay you back.” Xiaowan carefully held that piece of silver.

Ling Chaofeng only frowned slightly, but the little person in front of him was already trembling. He said: ”If you want to return the real money to me, you have to pay me two taels or two taels of silver in three thousand gold at once.

With that, the man walked away.

Xiaowan understood now, the broken silver in her hands was not even worth two sticks of money, but today, throughout the entire day, there were no customers in the shop at all, and it was rare to see someone willing to reward her, so when would she be able to save up two sticks of money? Or …

”Manager Ling …” Xiaowan followed and asked softly, ”How much is my salary?”

”2 taels of silver a month.” Ling Chaofeng stopped, ”Deduct the food and lodging, leave behind 1 silver. If you have enough for 1 year and 8 months, you will pay it off.”

One year... Eight months?

Xiaowan was dumbstruck. If this wasn't a criminal shop, then what?

Ling Chaofeng left. There were only two rooms on the third floor, one was their ”wedding room”, the other was Ling Chaofeng's room.

Just as he reached the door, the people behind him caught up to him and said, ”If Mrs. Sun can give me two taels of silver, I will give you everything at once. Am I free now?”

Ling Chaofeng turned around indifferently: ”It's just repayment, what are you thinking?”

What? Xiaowan was confused.

Ling Chaofeng seemed to be angry: ”There's an important guest at the store, go back to your room immediately, don't disturb our guest's rest.”

Xiaowan's eyes reddened as she gathered up her courage and said: ”But how do I know if you will go find my father? I don't know you and I didn't provoke you so why are you forcing me to marry you? What right do you have to trap me here? ”
