After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife - Chapter 153

Chapter 153

As Gu Jinchen’s words fell, he immediately seemed to have noticed something and pulled Luo Ge and the others behind him, kicking a person who was trying to flee and knocking them to the ground.

Seeing this, the woman who had been chasing them from behind hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

“Thank you, young sir, for your help. Otherwise, this thief would have escaped in the chaos.”

Every year around this time, there were many people stealing and robbing on the streets because of the crowds and chaos, making it easy for them to get away.

Many citizens had suffered losses because of this.

Just now, this woman had her money bag snatched by the thief while she was carrying her belongings, but fortunately Gu Jinchen reacted quickly and stopped him.

“It was a small effort.”

The patrolling official who heard the commotion came and took the thief away. Gu Jinchen returned the money bag to the woman, his tone as cold as ever.

Upon hearing Gu Jinchen’s words, the woman expressed her thanks again before preparing to leave.

Seeing that there was no more trouble, Gu Jinchen and the others were also about to depart.

However, when the woman happened to catch a glimpse of Luo Ge, she suddenly froze and hurriedly approached them.

“What’s the matter, Aunt?” Luo Ge asked, puzzled by her actions.

“May I ask, who is this young madam?” The woman seemed to realize her abruptness and offered an apologetic smile.

“This bag contains all my family’s belongings. You have done me a great favor, so I wished to inquire about visiting you another day to express my gratitude.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinchen and Luo Ge displayed looks of understanding but responded with polite smiles.

“We live locally. This was merely a small effort and does not deserve such gratitude.

There is no need to visit. Aunt, please be careful next time you go out.”

Hearing Luo Ge’s words, the woman understood their caution.

After all, anyone would be wary of a stranger suddenly wanting to inquire about their personal details on the street.

Seeing this, she had no choice but to drop the matter without further questions.

However, as she watched Luo Ge and the others leave, recalling Luo Ge’s appearance, she was still utterly shocked…

“Wife, let’s head back.”

“Okay.”

Sensing the previous situation, Gu Jinchen felt the bustling street was too noisy and unsafe.

So, they didn’t linger long before leaving the crowded area. He then took them to the shop where he had previously ordered custom clothes for Luo Ge’s pregnancy.

At the time, he had ordered based on typical pregnancy measurements, unaware it would be triplets. Therefore, the original garments needed to be altered.

He also brought back some fabric to prepare new clothes for the New Year, including small outfits for the baby in Luo Ge’s womb.

Before leaving, they also stopped by the Drunken Fragrance Tavern, where business was as lively as ever.

“Er Zhu.”

“Madam, Master, Young Masters Yun Mu and Yun Yi.” Er Zhu hurried over upon seeing Luo Ge and the others.

“Please, come inside. I’ll prepare tea and refreshments right away.” There was a private resting room in the back courtyard reserved for Luo Ge and his party.

But Luo Ge waved his hand dismissively. “There’s no need. We’ll be leaving shortly.Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏(.)c𝒐m

Our tavern will be closed for the New Year from the twenty-seventh, reopening on the sixth day of the new year. I likely won’t be coming during that period, so I wanted to inform you in advance.”

“I understand,” Er Zhu nodded. “I’ll post a notice at the entrance to inform our patrons.”

“Yes, please gather everyone so they can receive their red envelopes.”

‘Red envelopes’ referred to the tradition of giving monetary gifts during holidays and festivals. As the owner of businesses like these, Luo Ge would distribute red envelopes to employees as a gesture of thanks.

With the colder weather, it wasn’t convenient to keep going out, so they might as well take care of both taverns in the provincial capital at once and avoid extra trips.

“Understood.”

The employees were all delighted at the prospect of receiving red envelopes, their praises growing sweeter by the second. Seeing their enthusiasm brought a smile to Luo Ge’s face.
