The common people all sympathize with the weak, hate the powerful and wealthy who bully others, and they also have a hatred of the rich in their bones. They hope that the rich will suffer misfortune so that they can gloat over their misfortune and add insult to injury.

Although those who came to buy things were all wealthy people, the maids and servants they brought with them were all from the lower class and they hated to see the rich bullying the weak.

"These are the two young ladies of the Xie family. I didn't expect them to be this kind of people. I'll tell Madam later that we can't let the young masters and young ladies at home play with them."

"That's right. It was rumored that the Xie family had a good family tradition. Mr. Xie was gentle and refined. He didn't take concubines or maids, and the inner house was harmonious. I didn't expect that Mrs. Xie would raise her daughter to be so unbearable."

When they heard what everyone said, their faces changed drastically. Xie Roujia started crying, "You bully me and slander my reputation. I won't let you go."

Shen Nanzhi had a blank expression on her face: "There are so many people watching, who is bullying who? I am just a commoner, how dare I bully your Miss Xie?

I came here to buy some clothes, but a mad dog rushed out and barked at me, ruining my good mood. Who can I complain to?

What's wrong with me being fat? Did I eat your rice? Don't expose someone's shortcomings when you insult them. You insulted me by saying I was fat, isn't that like insulting a bald monk? What's wrong with saying you have no manners? "

Xie Roulan saw that she couldn't stay any longer, and she didn't dare to let her sister continue to clamor, otherwise her reputation would really be ruined. "Okay, let's stop arguing with her, let's go.

Why would porcelain clash with earthenware jars? She has no reputation to begin with, and we are a rich lady, so we won’t bother with her.”

Shen Nanzhi sneered: "Yeah, only lowly people come here to get scolded."

She was just buying some clothes, but they had to be humiliating and get scolded. Shen Nanzhi couldn't understand what was going on in these two girls' minds.

The two men were unable to scold Shen Nanzhi, so they ran away in shame. They hated Shen Nanzhi completely in their hearts and complained to their father and mother, determined not to let her go.

Shen Nanzhi angrily drove the man away, slapped the counter, and asked coldly, "Are there any ready-made clothes I can wear? Is this question difficult to answer?"

The female waiter did not dare to neglect her and immediately said with a smile: "I'm sorry, young lady, your figure is a little unusual, so we don't have ready-made clothes, but we can make it to order. If there is no embroidery, it will only take three days to make it."

"One day, I don't want embroidery, but the workmanship must be good. Can you do it?"

The female servant was in a dilemma. A middle-aged woman in a crimson skirt came down from upstairs. She was shrewd but enthusiastic. She smiled and said, "Of course, young lady, come and measure the size. I'll ask the embroiderer to hurry up and you can come and pick it up tomorrow."

I am the shopkeeper of this shop, everyone calls me Shopkeeper Yu, I apologize for the slackness of the waiter just now."

"Hello, Shopkeeper Yu. It's alright. How much is it? What's the style? Let me take a look."

"Okay, follow me. I can make any style hanging on the wall. What color do you like?"

"The cyan one, right? And this one in aqua blue. How much for two sets?"

As for popular colors, Shen Nanzhi actually likes pretty colors like pink and goose yellow. If she dresses like a little girl, she should dress herself up well.

In the previous life, he was already middle-aged after achieving success and fame. He could no longer wear the clothes that young girls wore and could only dress in a more conservative way.

Just wait until she loses weight successfully, then she can dress up however she wants, and she must be beautiful.

I took a lingering look at the beautiful and fresh clothes, waiting for the shopkeeper's offer.

"These are all made of good materials. I'll give you a discount. At least forty taels of silver."

Forty taels of silver is not cheap. A cotton coat for ordinary people costs only a few hundred coins, which is already very good.

For rich people, ten taels of silver for a piece of clothing is really nothing, and it is also the cheapest clothing in Jinxiufang.

Shen Nanzhi paid half of the deposit and said, "I'll give it to you when I pick up the clothes tomorrow. I also need to try them out to see if they fit, right?"

"That's right, Miss Shen, don't worry, the measurements won't be wrong."

Shen Nanzhi didn't stay long and said goodbye and left.

Shopkeeper Yu personally escorted her out the door. The female clerk stood beside her and said, "Shopkeeper, why are you so polite to her? She's so fat and she's useless. We won't make any money from this deal."

"If you think so, don't come tomorrow. I can't afford a proud guy like you. Since when did you find business worth forty taels unworthy?"

The female waiter was startled: "Boss, please don't ask, I just asked casually, I said too much, don't be angry, I won't dare to do it again."

Shopkeeper Yu glared at her and said, "Our boss said that we should treat every customer seriously and not look down on others. This is not the first or second time you have done this. If you don't change, I won't be able to employ you anymore."

The female assistant was terrified and promised again that she would not make any mistakes. It was not easy for a woman to find a decent job. It was not easy for her to find a job with an income of one or two taels of silver a month in the county town. She could not lose this job.

Shopkeeper Yu knocked on the door for a while and went upstairs with a sullen face. The female waiter worked even more carefully. The next day, Shen Nanzhi came to pick up the clothes and was extremely enthusiastic. She even gave her some scraps of cloth.

Seeing that Manager Yu was not there, Shen Nanzhi did not stay long and left with his clothes.

She had new clothes to wear, but she thought about how Aunt Niu's clothes were still patched, and Niu Xiaoli was also wearing a skirt with patches on top of patches. So she went to the cloth shop and bought some cloth for Aunt Niu to make some new clothes for the children.

Ordinary blue-green cotton cloth cost one hundred coins per piece, which was enough to make two sets of clothes for adults. Shen Nanzhi bought three pieces, and also bought a scarlet piece and a light green piece to make new clothes for Niu Xiaoli.

The pretty girl must look good in red and green.

I asked the waiter to deliver it directly to Niu's house for free. The service in ancient shops was also very good.

Shen Nanzhi put on a new dress. It was worthy of being from Jinxiufang. The same material was used to make a very exquisite style, which made her look much more energetic when she wore it.

But her hair was bald and she was not used to wearing jewelry. She just used a wooden hairpin to fix her hair. She was simple and unpretentious and would not attract attention when she walked on the street.

When we arrived at Liao Bao's stall, he was extremely busy. In just a few days, he had already hired two waiters to help pour tea, wash dishes, sell ice bowls, and receive guests.

He would make individual ice bowls ordered by customers and have the teenagers deliver them to their homes.

After finishing a batch of business, Liao Baojia finally had time to rest, "Sister Shen, you are here, do you want tea or ice bowl?"

"Have some tea. It'll save you some money."

"From now on, you can have as many ice bowls as you want. I can afford it."

Liao Baojia was very grateful to Shen Nanzhi. Without her advice, his business would not have been so good now. In just a few days, he had earned more than ten taels of silver. After counting the silver at night, he was so happy that he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

"Sister Shen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Did you know that I had a quarrel with the two young ladies of the Xie family? What did everyone spread?"

Shen Nanzhi was still worried about Mr. Xie. Although he was a nice person, she was his biological daughter after all. She was just an outsider and she would not protect an outsider and ignore her own daughter.

So she had to find out what Mr. Xie was thinking first, so that she could be prepared in advance in case he took revenge on her.

Liao Baojia said angrily: "The two young ladies of the Xie family have gone too far. They dare to bully Sister Shen. Those aunts and aunties didn't say anything good about them. They all said that Sister Shen was good at confronting them. Such ignorant young ladies should be severely punished.

Even the business of Xie's Winery was affected. Mr. Xie offered a discount, buying one more catty and giving two more taels for free, which helped to keep the customers."

Shen Nanzhi said: "Mr. Xie is a qualified businessman, but unfortunately he is not good at educating his children. I don't know if he can keep the family business in the future.

Please take care of Mr. Xie, and if he causes me any trouble, tell me immediately."

"How can Mr. Xie be so confused?"

"I'm not their daughter, so why can't you deal with me?"

Liao Baojia smiled and said, "I'll remember that, don't worry, Sister Shen."

Talking about the herbal tea business, "Recently, many people come to me to drink herbal tea. Our reputation has spread. Last time, an old man had a heat stroke and was about to pass out. After drinking our herbal tea, he actually got better. Now he comes to drink a bowl every day."

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "It's not that magical. It's just a coincidence. Good business is a good thing. From now on, your herbal tea will be divided into two buckets. A stronger one for the young and strong, and a weaker one for the old. The elderly are weak, so don't drink it and get an upset stomach."

"Oh, I remember that."

Liao Baojia now believes in Shen Nanzhi's words without a doubt, and believes that he can get rich by listening to Sister Shen.

Speak of the devil, he appeared. Mr. Xie was sitting in the sedan chair. When he saw Shen Nanzhi and Liao Baojia talking and laughing, he asked them to stop and walked towards her.

Shen Nanzhi also saw him, her smile faded, and she didn't stand up, but instead looked to see what he wanted to do.

Mr. Xie had a complicated look in his eyes. He admired Shen Nanzhi very much. His businessman's intuition told him that Shen Nanzhi was a capable person. He wanted to make friends with him, but unfortunately his family held him back.

The two daughters cried all day long, and the lady couldn't swallow this anger. If she hadn't suppressed it, she would have come to settle the score with Miss Shen.

But this is not Miss Shen's fault. This is the first time I feel that my wife and daughter are being unreasonable and unaccountable.

"Thank you, sir. What's the matter?"

Mr. Xie sat down and said, "Give me a bowl of herbal tea to cool you down."

Liao Baojia brought him a bowl of strong herbal tea and said, "Master Xie, you really should go and cool down. Miss Shen is like my own sister. I won't allow anyone to bully her."

Mr. Xie smiled bitterly: "I'm not that unreasonable, Miss Shen, I'm sorry, I'm not a good parent, it's my fault as a father."

Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "It's okay, it's not that you're bullying me. I'm not the type to vent my anger on others, but it's better for us to have less contact. I'm afraid your wife will misunderstand. What if she says I'm hooking up with you? Wouldn't I be unable to clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River?"

Liao Baojia said: "That's right, keep your distance. Although our Sister Shen doesn't like you, after all, you are so old. Sister Shen is only eighteen and single. Isn't it good for her to find a handsome young man?

I've heard that your wife is jealous, thank you, Master, for not harming my sister Shen."

Mr. Xie was surprised: "When did you become so close to her?"

Liao Baojia quickly clarified: "What are you looking at? I'm not afraid to tell you that this herbal tea recipe was given to me by Sister Shen. I treat Sister Shen like my own sister. Put away your dirty thoughts."

Mr. Xie said awkwardly: "Sorry, I misunderstood."

He took a sip of the herbal tea. The strange taste made him shudder, but he felt more energetic and his dizzy mind became clear. He drank it all in one gulp. "Not bad, no wonder so many people come to drink your herbal tea, it is really good."

"Of course, another bowl?"

"No, I have to go, Miss Shen, see you later."

"Thank you, sir, take care."

Shen Nanzhi was neither humble nor arrogant. Whether they would be friends or enemies in the future depended on what Mr. Xie did.

Liao Baojia was still standing up for her, but Shen Nanzhi thought it was too noisy and told him to do his own thing. After drinking the herbal tea, she was about to leave.

Just as she put down the bowl, a middle-aged man in a green gown sat down next to her. He had a handsome face, was gentle and elegant, and although his appearance was not outstanding, his temperament was very gentle, like a teacher. He looked at her with interest.

"you know me?"

The middle-aged man said, "I've heard of Miss Shen. Almost everyone in the county knows her name now. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ning Wu."

Shen Nanzhi was shocked: "Are you Master Ning Wu?"

As the gang leader in the county, Heiwu is not even a good person in other people's eyes and has to act according to their wishes.

"It's good that Miss Shen knows me."

Shen Nanzhi became alert. "Who doesn't know the famous Ning Wuye? I just didn't expect Ning Wuye to be so elegant and refined. He doesn't seem like a gangster who likes to kill and fight."

"Haha..., if given a choice, everyone wants to be an ordinary person. Miss Shen, to be honest, I have been observing you for a long time."

Shen Nanzhi raised her eyebrows: "You are not coveting my beauty, are you?"

"Cough cough..."

Ning Wuye choked on his cold tea. This girl could really say anything. "No, girl, don't misunderstand me. I'm not that kind of vulgar person."

Shen Nanzhi was a little disappointed: "Ah, it seems that I am destined not to be able to attract people with my looks. Grandpa Ning Wu doesn't like me. It's really sad."

Master Ning Wu: “…”

What did he want to say? After being disturbed by her, he lost his rhythm.

Shen Nanzhi urged him: "Master Ning Wu hasn't told me what you want to talk to me about yet?"

"I'm so confused by you. I don't know where to start. I want to get rich with you, girl."

It was Shen Nanzhi's turn to be surprised: "Master Ning Wu, don't joke with me. You are a wealthy man, how can you be interested in my little money?"

"No, although I have a lot of business, they are all risky and not all glorious. However, the sausages made by Miss Shen have great potential.

Miss Shen has also bought a house to open a workshop. In the future, all the merchants in the city will be able to purchase goods from you. I thought about it, this is not a small quantity.

The most important thing is that I like Miss Shen's character. She is loyal, kind and generous. She is a person worth making friends with."

"Thank you for the compliment. Even though I don't think I'm that good, I'm still very happy that you compliment me."

Master Ning Wu felt that this girl was more and more interesting. There were not many people who could talk to him freely and make jokes, let alone a girl.

"If Miss Shen is interested, let's go to the teahouse and have a good chat?"

"That's fine. Master Wu thinks highly of me, so I'd rather obey than be disrespectful."

The two got up together and went to the teahouse to talk in detail. What a coincidence, they ran into this scum Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was shopping with Young Master Xie, and he didn't expect to meet Shen Nanzhi. Seeing her walking with a man, a nameless anger emerged. Shen, this bitch, just divorced for a few days, and she hooked up with a new man?
