At this moment, her stomach growled again and her throat was almost dry. Yue'er was hanging in the air.

"At this time, the store must have already closed. I'm guessing only the larger restaurants would have guests." Li Xian'er muttered to herself as she searched the streets.

Suddenly, a restaurant appeared in front of them. Xian'er looked up and saw that the restaurant had a total of three floors. The signboard had the words' Thousand Li Fragrance Wine House 'on it. It was bright red under the light of the lanterns.

Li Xian'er was so hungry that she almost fainted. Not caring about the price, she walked into the restaurant. At this moment, there were still a few customers eating.

"Shop owner, bring me your delicious food, little …" "I'm extremely hungry." Li Xian'er called out, her voice hoarse.

"Sure, please wait a moment, customer. The food and wine will be served soon." Just as she was about to leave, Li Xian'er hurriedly said, "Hey hey, who said that they wanted wine? Three big bowls of tea, please."

"Alright!"

In just a moment, three bowls of tea were placed on the table. Li Xian'er drank it all in a single gulp. After drinking it to her heart's content, she immediately felt much more comfortable.

After a while, the dishes were served. There were "Lotus Leaf Ridge", "Phoenix Tail Shrimp Ball", "Sesame Quail", "Eastslope Meat", and "Spicy Gossamer". Dozens of dishes were served.

After the meal, she wiped her mouth with her sleeve, let out a burp and rubbed her plump belly. "How much money?" she asked in satisfaction.

The waiter replied, "Dear guest, the total amount is one or two to eight coins."

The clothes in her bag were all turned upside down, and she couldn't find a single cent. This made her extremely anxious, and her forehead was covered with sweat as she thought to herself: Oh no, it must be the money that was lost by those bandits in the forest. What should I do now?

She looked pitifully at the running man and stuttered, "This, this big brother, I just met a few bandits on the way here, and their money was stolen away. Hmm …" "Ugh …" "I really don't have any silver taels on me …"

"What, no money?!" Hearing that, the smiling expression on the servant's face disappeared, "You are weak and gentle, but I didn't expect you to be someone who swindles food and drinks, boss! "Boss!"

The boss was in the kitchen, and when he heard the shop assistant calling him, he came out of the kitchen with a "da da da" sound, "It's here! What's going on? Are you screaming? "

Li Xian'er sized up the shop owner and saw that his face was covered in oil and his body was like a vat. His fat body was trembling.

"Boss, this kid won't pay after eating!"

"What?" The shop owner's eyes widened as he walked straight towards Li Xian'er. The corners of his mouth were twitching from anger.

Li Xian'er quickly explained, "Boss, it's not like that. It's not like I don't want to pay. The bandits stole the money, but I really have no money. I …"

Before she could finish speaking, the fat face of the shop owner was already in front of her eyes. He carefully sized her up from top to bottom, from left to right, from front to back.

Afraid that the shop owner would see the golden mirror, Li Xian'er immediately covered her chest with her hands. Unexpectedly, the shop owner's eyes lit up with joy, and with a face full of smiles, he leaned towards Li Xian'er and said: "No need to return, no need to return, hehehe …" Isn't it just the money for the dishes? "Consider it my invitation."

He didn't know what the boss was up to, but the shop assistant seemed to have discovered the mystery behind all of this. He shook his head, and with a look of sympathy, he glanced at Li Xian'er before taking the bowl to the kitchen.

Little did he know that the owner of this store was a famous iron rooster and a miser. He had never made a loss before, but this time, he was so generous and abnormal. It was evident that there was something behind this.

Li Xian'er didn't understand why the boss was looking at her. She couldn't help but step back as she timidly asked, "Just now, from the boss's words, I was a bit confused. What was the purpose of not returning the money?" Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and said, "Oh, I understand. Boss, you want me to stay and work for you to repay your debt, right?"

"Right, right!" I just wanted you to stay, not go, but it's not a repayment. "

"But that is?"

"It's for you to stay and be my son-in-law."

"What!?" Li Xian'er was shocked and almost fainted on the spot. At this moment, her mind was in complete disarray. He had to reveal his identity, which meant that he had to work here for a period of time to earn money to pay off his debts. If he didn't reveal his identity, he would have to become the son-in-law of others. Thinking up to here, he still felt that it would be better to reveal his identity to the boss. However, before he could open his mouth, he saw the sad expression of the boss.

Sigh … My daughter's name is Huanhuan and she has lost her mother since she was young. I was both a father and mother, and I've worked so hard to raise her, and now that she has reached the age of marriage, it's only because our Qian Family has a strong family. My family's Huanhuan is too outstanding, and many of the young masters think that our family can't hold a candle to our family.

Hearing the boss's words, Xian'Er swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. So the Lady Boss was no longer here. If she were to say that she was actually a girl, what would happen if she caught his eye?

Seeing that Li Xian'er was still hesitating, the shop owner continued, "Our Qian family has a big family. In addition to our two restaurants, we also have a winery and three oil stalls. If you marry my daughter and become my son-in-law, all of this will belong to you.

"I, I'm only sixteen this year, I really …"

"There's no need to say that. So what if he's sixteen? It's normal for a six year old boy to marry a sixteen year old girl!"

Li Xian'er thought to herself that it was already too late, so she decided to stay here for the time being before finding an opportunity to slip away. Thus, she agreed. Upon seeing the youngster agree, the boss was moved to tears.

This boss of the money was called 'money is not boring'. He only had eyes for money and his thirst for it was endless. No matter what he did, it was because of the money. He was truly a man who lived up to his name.

The carriage jolted all the way until it stopped at the Qian house entrance. When the servant at the door saw that the master had returned, he hurriedly rushed over and helped her up. Qian didn't get tired of the carriage, but personally welcomed Li Xian'er into the courtyard.

He thought back to his previous experiences of almost falling into a trap, but this time, he had fallen into a tiger's den. He really did not know how to deal with this situation in the future, and could only take it one step at a time.
