"If I had known you liked it so much, I would have saved some money and bought it for you."

Shen Rong snorted coldly: "You really don't know what I like?"

"Of course, cousin, I really didn't expect you to care so much about a box of ointment. That thing is just the icing on the cake. It's really not as useful as you said." Shen Yanyan really didn't understand why Shen Rong was so obsessed with the ointment.

"Yes, there are so many people who pamper you and buy you so many good things. Look at what you wear and wear. Naturally, you don't lack the icing on the cake. But look at me. I'm just like a maid beside you. Who would look at me more? It's okay at ordinary times, but now I'm at the age to get married. The matchmakers have come several times. What kind of families did they find for me? Is it wrong for me to want to find a good family?"

Shen Rong was very excited. She really couldn't control herself and spoke out all the resentment in her heart.

"I...if you really want to dress yourself up, you can use any of my things you like."

Shen Rong smiled sarcastically: "I can't wear your clothes, why don't you ask Ma Zhu to make me a set of clothes like the ones you are wearing now?"

Shen Yanyan was embarrassed. She didn't want to quarrel with Shen Rong. She grabbed the hem of her skirt with some uneasiness and said in a gentle voice, "How can I say that? This set is only five taels of silver. Cousin, how about I ask grandma for some money and make you a cheaper set?"

Shen Rong was angry at the moment, and with the long-standing resentment, how could he hold it in? "Doesn't he like you? It's just a set of clothes, and you're embarrassed?"

"That's enough. I'm tired of your noise." Old Mrs. Shen walked out and said.

Shen Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were in the past, Shen Rong would be very afraid of Old Lady Shen, and in a situation like this, she would obediently stop talking. But today she spoke so freely that she didn't want to stop.

"Grandma, did you hear everything? Don't blame my cousin, it's my fault." Shen Yanyan lowered her head, looking like she had done something wrong.

"I heard it. Yanyan is not wrong. It's Shen Rong's fault for lying to you. But why did you go to their house? They have already separated. Don't have any contact with them in the future."

"I understand, grandma." Shen Yanyan agreed obediently.

"Shen Rong, give the money you cheated to Yan Yan."

"I won't give it to you. This is the money I need to buy the ointment."

"How dare you! This is Yanyan's money. Take it out now." Old Mrs. Shen said firmly.

"I won't. I just won't." She already had resentment, and her grandmother's words only made her more resentful, and hatred was already mixed in with her resentment.

"Okay, okay, you're so rebellious. You dare to talk back to me. You're not allowed to eat tonight."

Shen Rong still looked at Old Lady Shen stubbornly, but her eyes were already red. At this moment, she was a little envious of Shen Li. Although her life was a little harder, she didn't have to suffer such favoritism.

"Grandma, don't blame my cousin, you shouldn't..."

"Okay, let's go back to the house. We have to marry your cousin off as soon as possible, otherwise I will be mad to death sooner or later." Old Mrs. Shen led Shen Yanyan into the house while muttering.

Shen Rong heard this and smiled sadly. It seemed that she could not avoid marrying into a bad family. Her grandmother was so anxious that she would definitely not consider her when choosing a family for her. How good could such a family be?

Did she regret talking back to her grandmother? It seemed not, as this was the happiest moment for her.

Shen Yanyan couldn't help but look back at Shen Rong, and happened to see her smile, which made her very sad. She didn't want to fall out with her. They grew up together, and she hoped to go back to the way they were before with Shen Rong. It was just a box of broken ointment, what was good about it? It was all Shen Li's fault. If he hadn't made such a thing, she and Shen Rong wouldn't have ended up like this.

Thinking of this, Shen Yanyan picked up the ointment on the dressing table and wanted to throw it away, but in the end, after smelling the pleasant jasmine scent, she couldn't bear to put it down.

Why did Shen Li tell her about Shen Rong buying the ointment? Did he want to see them quarrel like this? She used to be very quiet and didn't talk much, why did she become like this now? Shen Li...

Shen Yanyan in the mirror showed a hint of hatred in her eyes.

……

In the past few days, Shen Han's waist has recovered better and better. Except for not being able to lift heavy objects or do large movements, he is basically the same as an ordinary person.

Shen Li felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched himself massage Shen Han's waist bit by bit.

Half a month has passed since the last time he sold the ointment. Now Shen Han doesn't need someone to be around him all the time, so he should continue making the ointment. He can't stop making money.

The first batch of customers have already used up the ointment, and the current situation is that the supply of ointment is still in short supply.

The place to buy raw materials is currently stable, so she doesn't need to go there in person, so she can ask her two brothers to go.

Shen Xing went to Huaxian to buy jasmine flowers, and when he came back he went straight to buy a beehive.

Shen Liang went to the market to reserve a box and bought tea oil on the way.

Shen Li wanted to make more of this batch of ointments and sell them to earn more money. It was almost August now, and it wasn't long before Shen Han would go to college. He would definitely need money by then, so she had to prepare some for him.

Now that all the materials have been purchased, Shen Li is ready to start making them.

While she and Shen Xing were busy with distillation, someone else came to the house.

She was a woman in her thirties, a bit dark, with two big black moles on her eyebrows and chin. From what I remembered, she seemed to be from their village.

"Aunt Wang, why are you here?" Liu Dahua asked.

Shen Li was afraid that she would see his equipment, so he closed the door, but he still listened to the voices outside.

"Of course I'm here to act as a matchmaker."

Shen Li suddenly realized that she was a matchmaker.

"Matchmaking? Our family? For whom?"

Aunt Wang smiled and said, “Of course you are talking about the eldest son in your family.”

Liu Dahua asked her to sit at the table and poured her a bowl of water. This Aunt Wang was the big matchmaker in their village. She knew who the girls and boys were, even those from the neighboring villages. No matter what, don't offend her and treat her well. Their family's three sons and one daughter might have to rely on her to find a good family in the future.

"Are you talking about Shen Han?"

"That's right. This girl comes from a good family, one of the wealthy families in our village, the Ma family." said Matchmaker Wang.

Shen Xing was lying by the window eavesdropping, and when he heard the word Ma family, he rolled his eyes.

"But the eldest daughter of that family has a somewhat..."

"Oh, looks are not important. The family conditions are so good. They are one of the best in our village. Besides, it's enough for the woman to be able to give birth. Everything else is secondary. The most important thing is that the girl likes your eldest son. She doesn't want a bride price, but a dowry of twenty taels of silver." Matchmaker Wang spoke of the benefits with a beaming smile.

"Aunt Wang, I'm not saying that he has a bad appearance. You know, my eldest son is a scholar and will take the imperial examination in the future. He will go to the academy in August. I don't think about marriage for the time being."
