Chapter 1258 A cry for help…?
"That foolish woman," Gu Xingyu snickered as she locked up the prison that now only held one woman. She looked at the unconscious Mei Shu with a smirk plastered on her face.
With the bunch of keys rolling around in her forefinger, she turned to walk away. As she turned around the corridor her gaze fell on the guards who were knocked out by her earlier.
"This was so easy," muttered Gu Xingyu as she threw the bunch of keys at the guard who was lying on the floor with a sadistic smile on her face. "I hope that girl will bring that pregnant mer to my house very soon. Or else it will be too much of a loss for me."
On the other hand, Gu Mu who had snuck out of the house weighed the pouch of money that was given to her by Gu Xingyu. If she was not wrong there were more than fifty taels inside the pouch, this would help her last for a whole. "Then now what should I do now? It's not going to kidnap that mer."
Gu Mu knew that there was no way she would be able to easily kidnap Yu Dong's husbands but when she thought about how Yu Dong had caused her to be humiliated, her heart burned with a rage that told her to deal with this matter as smoothly as possible.
She wanted Yu Dong to regret even making a move on her! Even Zi Zan and her family would be too sorry after she was done dealing with them.
Even if it meant going down with them, she would make sure that those mers were gone for good! If not her name wouldn't be Gu Mu!
Shen Li and the rest didn't have any idea about what kind of danger was approaching them.
They were currently shopping in the town. Shen Li looked at the children's clothes and his face beamed with happiness. A few days ago he found out that he was pregnant with twins and his happiness knew no bounds even Fang Chi was as happy as him.
It was because he felt that his daughter who left him early came back as Shen Li's daughter. He didn't even know what was the gender of the two children but Fang Chi was certain that the children in Shen Li's belly were girls.
At least one of them was!
"I think that this one is really good," Fang Chi said to Shen Li as he showed him a cotton shirt that was so soft that he could feel his fingers rubbing on the fabric as if it were a cloud.
"This is an excellent choice!" The saleswoman said with a polite smile. She looked at the red shirt that was made for newborn babies and explained, "This is the cotton that is specially curated for babies, it's called sink cotton and is really soft.
We have received almost no complaints regarding this fabric unless your child is allergic to it, this fabric is really wonderful as it gives comfort to your children. You can trust it with closed eyes."
Shen Li took the shirt and rubbed the fabric with his fingers and nodded. It was indeed too soft. This would be perfect for his child.
He turned to look at the salesperson and asked, "How much is this fabric for?"
"It's not much. Just two taels for a single piece of clothing but of course nothing is too expensive for our children, is it?" The salesperson was apt in dealing with all kinds of customers and knew that Shen Li was hesitating because he thought that the clothes were too expensive but the saleswoman could see that Shen Li could easily afford this.
Sure enough, Shen Li frowned. He wanted to say that the price was way too high but then he heard Chen Mi say "Let's buy it, Brother Li. Wife did say that we could buy anything for the children. She will be upset if you save money at this point."
Shen Li sighed as he looked at the clothing piece in his hands, Yu Dong did tell him that he was allowed to buy whatever he wanted to buy but he didn't feel at ease using two taels of silver for a piece of clothing. After all, two taels could be easily used by a poor family for a month, so how could he be comfortable using two taels for just a piece of clothing?
"This is about the comfort of the children," said Ye Liu as he picked up a few more pieces of clothing and then placed them in the arms of the saleswoman. "There is no need for us to save in these things is it?"
Shen Li rolled his eyes, he could see that the others were basically forcing him to choose the clothing piece in his hands, however, he knew that they were doing it for his children and agreed.
"Thank you for your patronage," the saleswoman said with a smile. She turned to walk towards the counter where she asked the financier to make a bill for Shen Li and his purchase.
While the mers surrounded Shen Li who looked a bit haggard. They looked at his expression which seemed to be one of a mer who was getting harassed and was amused.
"Brother Li, are you really that upset over the money that you spent? Wife said that it was fine."
"That's right, Dong Dong would have made a fuss if you hadn't used the money."
"There is no need to feel bad just think how comfortable the children will be, I purchased a set for Bo Bo as well, he is getting fussy because of the rise in temperature."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Li smiled lightly as he shook his head and then stated, "I am not feeling sorry for the money spent. I just think that it's too much… we used to keep two taels as our family budget and now we are buying clothes with it——"
"HELP!"
