Lin Luo corrected herself. Yan Su had always had a high amount of self-control.
To be precise, it wasn't a loud bang against the wall, but a gentle bang against the pillar.
After coming back to her senses, Lin Luo felt that this scene was quite pleasing to the eye.
She wanted to watch for a while longer, but Yan Su sensed her gaze and stopped with an impassive expression.
If not for the small red mark on Yan Su's forehead, Lin Luo would have thought that she was hallucinating just now.
Lin Luo glanced inside and saw that the carpenter was working.
"Are you done?"
Yan Su nodded numbly.
"Then shall we go back?"
Yan Su nodded numbly, but his gaze never met Lin Luo's.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, the auntie who was selling vegetables beside Lin Luo suddenly stopped her. "Miss, you were scammed just now. Dried prawns that are footweight can be sold for 20 copper coins a pack. Moreover, your dried prawns are the largest I've ever seen, so it should have been more expensive."
Lin Luo nodded slightly. "Thank you for your reminder."
She acted like a polite and considerate young lady.
The auntie was stunned. Lin Luo had lost out on at least 50 copper coins, so why was her reaction so calm?
She asked Lin Luo, "Aren't you going to ask for more money? This is hard-earned money. Don't blame me for not reminding you just now. That woman looked very fierce."
Lin Luo shook her head.
Hard-earned money?
Lin Luo recalled that one night, when she was star-gazing on the beach, a group of prawns lined up and jumped in front of her.
It wasn't that hard.
When the auntie saw that Lin Luo and Yan Su had left, she crushed the radishes in her hand. "I wanted to tell her that she should give me a bag of dried prawns after getting the things back. I didn't expect to meet a fool. How unlucky!"
On the way back, Lin Luo watched the little mule move its four legs as she nodded off.
Unknowingly, she fell asleep.
Yan Su sat upright about two seats away from Lin Luo.
He looked ahead, as if he was looking at the road, but when Lin Luo's head was about to hit the tent, he accurately placed his hand on the tent to cushion Lin Luo's collision.
Yan Su placed his arm on the tent and used it as a pillow for Lin Luo. Then, he said, "Qi Zhou, take a path without passerby."
Qi Zhou looked back and opened his mouth, as if to say something.
He wanted to say something, but hesitated. In the end, he didn't say anything.
He pulled the reins and changed to another path. Although the detour took a longer time, they didn't meet anyone along the way.
When the mule cart stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, Yan Su pulled out his numb arm and touched Lin Luo's shoulder gently. "Miss Lin, we're here."
Lin Luo got off the mule cart in a daze and returned to her room to sleep.
As Yan Su stood under the eaves and looked at the pillar, he had the urge to bang himself against it again.
He originally wanted to tell Lin Luo everything and leave after returning the favor, but today… today…
Ao Yun and Lin Herong were squatting in the corner and eating cabbage. When they saw Yan Su, they asked Lin Herong, "What's wrong with Master? He looks so distraught."
"I don't know. Maybe he has constipation. I have constipation a few days every month."
Yan Su was speechless.
The courtyard wasn't big. Did they really think he couldn't hear them?

In the next few days, when she had nothing to do, Lin Luo would also go to the pharmacy in the farmer's market. Sometimes, she would watch television, and sometimes, she would play games and play with her phone.
Life was very comfortable for her.
However, she didn't see Wang Shuai a few times.
He was probably preoccupied with the Feather Clam Shell research plan.
On this day, when Lin Luo arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy, she saw that someone was talking to Zhang Wei.
When she walked in, she heard the unshaven man reprimand Zhang Wei. "You're just a part-timer. I pay you so much every month, but you're saying you're tired? Don't you just have to drive around to buy goods? How tiring can it be?"
"When others come to work part-time, they even pay me money. You're the only one who requests money!"
"Manager, I'm doing everything I get paid for." Zhang Wei was neither servile nor overbearing. "What I've done is worthy of the salary you gave me. If you want me to take on another task, please pay an additional salary to me."
The store manager cursed as he slammed the door and left. "If I find someone, I'll replace you immediately!"
Zhang Wei smiled bitterly. "Boss, I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
"We might not be able to meet in this pharmacy in the future."
Lin Luo hummed in response. As she watched the television, she thought about how much it would cost to buy the pharmacy. She didn't lack money, and she couldn't be without the farmer's market. Without this base, it would be difficult for her to meet Zhang Wei.

It had been more than ten days since Yan Su's new house started construction. On the seventh day after October, the house was built.
In order to thank his friends for their help, Yan Su specifically invited them to town for a meal.
He didn't call Lin Luo.
When Lin Luo hung salted fish under the roof, Yan Su came looking for her. The salted fish took the initiative to jump to her feet when she went for a walk on the beach.
Sometimes, Lin Luo suspected that this sea wasn't the sea, but a sea cargo transmitter.
Just like a tennis transmitter, a tennis ball would be shot out whenever a switch was touched.
However, the sea shot out seafood.
Come to think of it, it made sense. One couldn't expect a sea to shoot out pork and vegetables, right?
After Lin Luo stepped on the stool, the legs of the stool swayed a little, and so did Lin Luo.
Yan Su walked to her side silently. Although he didn't protect her, he had been paying attention to the situation. If anything unexpected happened, he could protect Lin Luo.
"With a bunch of men drinking together, it's not suitable for you to go."
Lin Luo was stunned. He came all the way here just to say this?
Lin Luo actually didn't care about food in restaurants. Firstly, the variety wasn't sumptuous, and secondly, the food they made wasn't as delicious as hers.
"Thank you for the past few days." Yan Su enunciated each word very seriously. "I'll treat you to a meal later."
Lin Luo shook her head. "I didn't help much. On the other hand, since you're on good terms with me, I've implicated you."
No matter what, Yan Su was still a member of Little Bay Village. As the village chief, Lin Changsheng should express concern if Yan Su's house had collapsed. However, Lin Changsheng didn't come. There had been no news at all for so many days.
Lin Luo knew that it was because Yan Su's relationship with her made Lin Changsheng unhappy.
That was why Lin Changsheng made things difficult for Yan Su and pretended not to see that Yan Su's house had collapsed.
Yan Su understood what Lin Luo was talking about. He pursed his lips and said, "That's a good thing."
There were many secrets under his house, so it would be troublesome if Lin Changsheng got involved.
Lin Luo thought that he was just being polite.
After sending Yan Su away, Lin Luo was about to take a nap when she heard a knock on the door.
Lin Herong and Qi Zhou had changed the courtyard door, but the two green jade doors were incompatible with this small dilapidated courtyard.
However, the new door was really sturdy.
After Lin Luo opened the door, she realized that it was a bailiff holding a booklet and there was a brush at his ear.
"You're Lin Luo, right?" The bailiff glanced at the book and asked Lin Luo.
