”The debt I owe to the Rich Man Yang is not yours, so I naturally have to hand it over to him. Is there a problem? You are in such a hurry, don't tell me you want to keep it for yourself? ”

Xia Li stared at his boss, his face full of curiosity.

”Nonsense …” ”What? How could I possibly be greedy for your money?” The boss felt guilty after being stared at by Xia Li, and couldn't even speak properly.

Rich Man Yang stared at the boss's stuttering appearance, so angry that his beard was crooked.

”Look carefully, God of Fortune, I have given you all the banknotes, we have nothing to do with you from now on.”

After Xia Li finished, he nodded towards Sun Chun who was holding onto Rich Man Yang. Sun Chun understood, and then pushed Rich Man Yang into his hands, leaving with Xia Li.

”What a relief. To be able to pay off our debts and not dare to act rashly like this, we are leaving in such a reckless manner. Even in my dreams, I would never have thought of that.”

Xia Li walked on the main road with his arms stretched out wide, like a bird who was about to abolish its cage, happy and at ease.

Sun Chun followed behind Xia Li, he looked at the lady in front who was enjoying her free time, and was sincerely happy for her. Ever since he met her, he did not have much time to see her smile.

Most of the time, she was in a state of tension. She was constantly picking medicinal herbs, refining medicines, interacting with doctors, fighting with the people of the Rich Man Yang, fighting with her strange relatives, and living a torturous life. She would not be at peace for even a single moment.

Now, she had finally gotten rid of her debt, gotten rid of the Rich Man Yang, and regained her freedom.

”Sun Chun, I'm still too happy!” Xia Li threw himself into Sun Chun's embrace, coiled around his body like a koala, hugged his neck and giggled. His body also trembled slightly, shocking the birds on the nearby branches, causing them to fly away with their wings flapping.

”As long as you're happy.” Sun Chun hugged Xia Li as he walked forward slowly, step by step. The corners of his lips slightly curled up as he immersed himself in a rare happiness together with her.

I don't care, I want to eat a big meal. Do you know, after getting rid of the four hundred and fifty liang of silver that I gave to Rich Man Yang, in addition to the silver that I previously saved up in the bank, I have accumulated seven hundred and sixty liang of silver. I bought a small shop and a batch of medicinal herbs.

As Xia Li spoke, he took the initiative to kiss Sun Chun's face, causing Sun Chun's face to turn red.

”What do you need me to do?”

Buy a store, find a helper and doctor, and choose a suitable private school for Xia Qing. I need you to help me throughout the entire process. You're not allowed to leave, and don't think that I'll be fine. You just want to leave.” In his heart, Xia Jin had always been worried about Sun Chun's departure.

”I won't leave you for the time being. You don't have to be so nervous.” Sun Chun comforted and patted Xia Li's body, and placed her on the ground. Didn't you want to feast and celebrate?

”Alright, let's have a feast to celebrate.” Xia Li calmed the nervousness in his heart, then pulled Sun Chun to the town's most expensive restaurant, where they went to a private room on the second floor, and found a table close to the window to prepare.

”Honored guests, what would you like to order today?” The waiter enthusiastically greeted and handed a menu over to Xia Li.

”Sweet and sour fish, tofu with eggplant sauce, fried prawns with green peppers, stewed bamboo shoots, and a stomach soup with four steamed buns.” Xia Li took the menu, ordered a few dishes that he rarely ate, and said to the child.

”Sure, sir. I will remember it. A total of five taels of silver.” The waiter smilingly extended his hand out towards Xia Li. His meaning could not be any clearer.

”Here's five taels of silver. Take a box of food later and take a few clean plates and chopsticks. We need to pack some food to take away.”

It was true that Xia Li felt a bit of heartache over the money, but thinking that it would be a good day in the future, and that she would have the chance to earn money, she was also willing to spend this money.

”Wait a moment, I'll send it to you in a moment.” The shop assistant took the silver and left happily.

The warm wind caressed her face and lifted the long hair by Xia Li's ear. Accompanied by the gentle breeze, the light smile on her face and the jade colored dress on her body, became a bright and beautiful scenery in Sun Chun's eyes.

He sat at the side, holding a teacup in his hands, and looked out the window at the bustling crowd. Thinking about the various collusion between the people of power in the Red River Town and the officials, his heart grew more and more depressing, he hoped that in the future when Xia Li was doing business, he would not get involved in this mess.

The waiter had good eyes, and after seeking Xia Li's permission, he took the initiative to divide all the dishes into two, and left one on the table, and the other in the box.

”I wonder if these dishes are your favorite. I forgot to ask you, try them all.” Xia Li said with a bit of vexation. He picked up a few of each ingredients and placed them into the bowl in front of Sun Chun. Very quickly, a small hill appeared in Sun Chun's bowl.

”I don't have any taboos, all of these dishes like to eat.” Sun Chun gave some face, drinking a cup of tea, and said to Xia Li.

”But you ate so little and didn't even move your chopsticks. Don't you like greasy food?” Xia Li was a little perturbed, the little girl's state of mind was completely displayed.

”Today, you are the main character. To celebrate, you have to pay off your debt.” Sun Chun said indifferently, he picked up a piece of tofu and took a small bite, then drank a mouthful of soup and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

”You're not eating?” Xia Li looked at Sun Chun who had only eaten a few bites of the chopsticks, and asked with concern.
