Xue Ningxiang hurriedly said, "How can that be possible? This silver needs to be saved for his future wife!"
Gu Jiao thought to herself, 'When a man offers to make you jewelry, don't you have any other thoughts?'
After lunch, Xue Ningxiang went to the bank to withdraw silver. Little Dog clung to her thigh and wouldn't let go. Having no choice, Xue Ningxiang had to take Little Dog along.
The bank wasn't crowded, so Xue Ningxiang was able to withdraw twenty taels of silver after a short wait. She kept her silver securely in her bag, with Little Dog on her back and the bag in her arms.
As she left the bank, she bumped into a young man dressed as a scholar.
"Are you blind? Can't you see where you're going?" The scholar said impatiently, brushing the arm that Xue Ningxiang had bumped into.
Xue Ningxiang blushed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The scholar's companion said, "Just let it go. We're on our way to an exam. We can't afford to waste time."
