Shangguan Qingyue used only one dessert to completely change Shangguan Song's colleagues' understanding of her. They also truly understood why a shop selling snacks could be so popular.

The food is delicious and reasonably priced, the environment is elegant and comfortable, and the service in the store is thoughtful and considerate. Even if you are penniless, you will not be looked down upon.

There was also a wall full of books and a desk more than ten meters long specially for readers...

The name Shuiyunjian is absolutely worthy of its reputation!

The sweethearts on the table were swept away. Rubbing his bloated belly, the short and fat man spoke first again:

"Everyone, I have a suggestion.

The shop run by Miss Shangguan II not only serves delicious food, but also has many good deeds. After observing it today, I am really ashamed. We are seven feet tall men, but our awareness is not as good as that of a little girl..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed with emotion, and two or three of them blushed with shame. As for why they felt ashamed, only they themselves knew.

"The second Miss Shangguan has a noble character, which is admirable!"

"Yes, we are ashamed of ourselves..."

Listening to his colleagues praising his younger sister, Shangguan Song's smile never dropped, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

He looked at the man who had brought up the topic and asked in a gentle tone:

"Brother Zhang, what suggestions do you have?"

The short and fat man scratched his head shyly.

"Well, I was just thinking, can we each take out a few books and give them to Shui Yunjian?

It took us decades of hard work to get through high school and get our current jobs. The hardships we went through will never be forgotten. Now when I look back at those students who studied so hard, I feel a sense of empathy.

Having suffered so much, I hope that the younger generations can avoid taking detours and suffering less unnecessary hardships. "

At this point, he was already choking up, and he pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and touched the corners of his eyes.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Although books are rare and precious things in a home, even if they are reluctant to give away the original books, they can still send a few handwritten copies.

The stingy man was the first to speak out. He said bluntly:

"I originally copied a few books by hand to earn some extra money to support my family, but after hearing what Brother Zhang said, I suddenly felt that this little money was not worth it. I will send the books over tomorrow."

At first, Shui Yunjian was only somewhat famous among students and young ladies from noble families. But after the officials from the Ministry of Justice had been there, word spread quickly and Shui Yunjian gradually became well-known in the officialdom.

In the past, colleagues would socialize in teahouses or restaurants. Now, there is another place, Shuiyunjian.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat sweets, the tea at Shuiyunjian is no less delicious than that at the teahouse opposite, and may even be better.

As a result, the business of the teahouse opposite went from bad to worse, and the owner of the teahouse was worried every day, seeing that his business was about to go out of business.

Many guys in the store have already started planning to find a way out for themselves.

……

On this day, Baili Nanqing came to the store with a close friend and her little daughter.

When the young woman saw that her friend's daughter was cooking for the guests in public without any hesitation, her eyes were full of disapproval.

I had no intention of tasting the delicious snack in my hand, and couldn't help but whispered:

"Sister Nanqing, how can you let Qingyue show up in public? Although we women have dowry shops to take care of, they are not all handed over to the manager. How can we do it ourselves?

A girl's reputation is even more important than her life. You can be careless about other things, but you must be careful about this matter!"

The little girl who followed her had eyes that were originally shining, but after hearing her mother's words, they gradually dimmed.

Baili Nanqing, who was sitting opposite, saw it all clearly. She sighed softly, pointed at her little daughter's busy figure and said:

"Look, my dear, how happy our Yue'er is. Isn't our greatest wish as a mother to hope that our children can live a happy life?

She is so happy to open a shop and make snacks, why should I break her wings with those stupid rules? This is too cruel! "

The woman called Jiao Niang disagreed. This person should not only look at the three inches in front of him.

"Parents love their children and plan for them in the long run. Sister Nanqing, you are indulging your child now, but have you ever thought about the future? Once a girl's reputation is tarnished, it will be difficult for her to get married in the future. Isn't this harming her?"

This is why she insisted on keeping a close eye on her little daughter. Some suffering must be endured, otherwise there will be more suffering in the future. How could she not figure out such a simple account?

The little girl lowered her head dejectedly, looking at the sweet cakes in front of her, she lost her appetite. Alas, what a pity, she had been looking forward to it for a long time!

Baili Nanqing shook her head in disapproval. If it weren't for the friendship between the two of them over the years, she wouldn't have said a word more.

"My dear lady, a woman should not live just to get married. What's the difference between this and being a puppet?

Especially for a family like ours, the things we save for our children are enough to support them for several lifetimes. Why should we pin our hopes solely on our future husband's family?

You can't stand me spoiling my daughter, and similarly, I don't agree with you controlling Linglong to the point where she has lost her vitality."

When the youngest daughter was mentioned, the woman immediately became unhappy. How could Linglong not be angry?

"Sister, what do you mean? Linglong in our family reads and embroiders every day, or plays the piano and paints. Her life is rich and fulfilling. I wonder how many people envy her!"

When the little girl heard her mother describe her like this, her thin shoulders instantly slumped again. She didn't understand why Aunt Nanqing could tell that she was unhappy at a glance, but her biological mother didn't notice anything?

She obviously hated what her mother said, but no matter how painful it was, she had to face it every day. She was really fed up with this suffocating life!

The little girl slammed the table, and the glass cups collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Fortunately, there was always gurgling water in the room, so the crisp sound didn't seem so abrupt.

But the young woman sitting next to her was stunned.

"Linglong, what's wrong with you? Where are the rules you learned every day? How can you be so rude!"

The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, and she sobbed and said:

"Mother, I really don't understand why you have been trying to cover up your mistake. My father works in the Ministry of Industry, and I have been influenced by him since I was a child. The only thing I am interested in is playing with wood and mud.

You always praise and admire your father, but why does it become a shameful hobby for your daughter? I don’t like housework, and I hate playing the piano even more!"

In order not to disturb others, the little girl kept her voice down until it was almost inaudible. Tears silently rolled down her cheeks, and her little body trembled violently.

It seems that he was too aggrieved, and once the outlet for venting was opened, he couldn't stop.

The young woman was humiliated by her youngest daughter in public. She could no longer maintain her gentle and virtuous demeanor. She was so angry that her eyebrows raised and her face turned ashen.

She picked up the glass in front of her, endured it, and finally put it back on the table.

This was outside, surrounded by ladies and daughters from wealthy families, she couldn't lose her temper. But she was too angry to do so, so she stood up angrily and walked away very quickly.

The little girl didn't move at all as she watched her mother walk away. She reached out and picked up the delicate bamboo fork, scooped a small piece of cake with thick cream on it and put it into her mouth.

"It's so sweet and delicious. I begged my mother for a whole month to finally have it. I can't waste it..."

Baili Nanqing did not chase after her. She felt so distressed looking at the poor and helpless little girl in front of her that she didn't care whether her friend was angry or not.

Humph, forget about my daughter, I'll just take her home and have another little cotton-padded jacket to raise!
