Putting down the spoon, Zheng Yuan raised his sore hands and tremblingly bowed to the people who were still gathering around to buy ice jelly: "Thank you all for your support. Our Sisters Ice Jelly has been sold out today. Please come earlier next time."

Fortunately, we brought a lot of ice jelly today, so not many people missed out on buying any. They just grumbled a few words to express their regret, and then left.

"Sorry, sorry..." Zheng Yuan was packing up while apologizing to the few people who didn't buy anything, providing service with a smile.

Duan Minmin also hugged her collar tightly, while smiling and apologizing to the few people. The two prepared a lot of things, but they forgot to prepare a bigger purse. Business was so hot that she didn't have time to find it, so she could only tie a knot on her collar and put the money in it. At this moment, the pile of copper coins could hardly fit.

After packing up the stall, Dashu and Tao'er were still in a state of shock. Looking at the two mothers, they felt that their heads were shining with golden light. Erhe looked as if it was just as I expected. He straightened his back unconsciously to show that he had seen the world.

Seeing the three children's admiring expressions, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were also quite proud. Yes, that's it, let your admiration be more obvious. Don't worry, we won't be proud.

"Kids, put your things away. Let's find a place to count the money! By the way, don't throw away the straw in the ice bucket." Zheng Yuan waved his hand and walked forward with Duan Minmin.

Erhe picked up the bucket and poked the tree, saying, "Let's go, big brother, sister Taoer."

"Hey, okay!"

Dashu and Tao'er seemed to have just woken up from a dream and hurriedly followed them with their buckets.

As soon as they left, the two or three women from the village who were still watching nearby hurriedly followed behind them, not too far away.

Duan Minmin turned around and asked Taoer to follow, and then she saw three women following behind.

If I followed them all morning, it was because the villagers were too poor and were eager to improve their lives, which was understandable. But now that they had sold out, they all knew how their own ice jelly business was sold, and it was a bit rude to follow them.

Duan Minmin freed one hand and pulled Zheng Yuan's hand, nodding her mouth to signal her to look at the tail following behind her.

Seeing her like this, Zheng Yuan knew without looking back that the tail must be following her again.

He looked back and frowned: "Why do they have no sense of boundaries!"

They had made so much money today, and they were at the big market in Yongding County, so they wanted to do some revenge shopping and buy everything they needed at home. But there was a group of people following them, so how could they spend their money happily?

Seeing them spend lavishly on things, they would have to make a big fuss when they returned to the village, and they would cause so much trouble. When your wealth is much higher than those around you, they may admire you; but when you are only slightly richer than those around you, they will only envy you.

At this time, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin both realized that their family was still too weak. They had to hide even the little money they earned and dared not spend it openly.

Seeing that they were not going to move forward, the three people following behind also stopped and pretended to rest on the side of the road, but their eyes kept looking over here.

Zheng Yuan thought about it and decided to go meet them. Duan Minmin didn't want to go because she had a big bag of money in her pocket. She took Erhe with her. Dashu and Taoer stayed around Duan Minmin. With such a big bag of money, they were really afraid of being spotted.

Seeing her coming with Erhe, the others were a little scared. After all, Old Lady Zheng was well-known in the village—very well-known. Few people could stand her scolding. Although they hadn't heard her loud voice for more than ten or twenty days, her influence was still there.

Walking up to them, Zheng Yuan asked with a smile, "Sisters, why are you following us all the time?"

Seeing her smiling face, some people became a little more scared.

"How could we follow you? This road is not yours, so how can we not go on?" Li Juxian swallowed and still said stubbornly.

Liu Cuilan told her that she was going to buy Physalis seeds and she was responsible for following Mrs. Zheng and the others. When she saw them meeting with the steward of Mr. Zhang's family, she followed the steward and discussed with him to share some ice with them. At most, they could get a bigger share than Mrs. Zheng and the others. I don't believe the steward would not be tempted.

Seeing how popular this ice jelly stall is today, after deducting the cost and the money for honoring the nobles, they can at least make a hundred or eighty coins. Then they can each take half, and they will make at least half a string of money a month. Then they can stand up straighter at home.

With this beautiful fantasy in her heart, Li Juxian unconsciously became tough.

"Of course the road is not mine, but how come we can see the sisters whenever we turn around from this morning until now? Could it be that we got shit on our feet when we went out this morning, and the sisters followed us because of the smell?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was like an old hermaphrodite.

The three of them were all from the village, so they knew she was mocking them like dogs chasing after the road after smelling shit.

The three of them blushed, but they still said stubbornly: "Mrs. Chen, how can you say that? We want to go around Yongding County, what's wrong with that? Are you the county magistrate? How can you tell us where to go?"

"Of course I'm not the county magistrate. I just feel annoyed that there are too many dung beetles following me around."

Erhe was stunned. Mom, is it really okay for us to be donkeys?

The three women didn't pay attention to her calling them donkeys, they only heard her calling them followers. After all, they were women from the village, so they were not afraid of foul language and quarrels. But the old woman Zheng had a weird smile on her face, and they didn't know how to refute her.

I just felt like there were a bunch of words stuck in my throat, I couldn't say them, and I couldn't swallow them. My face, which had been tanned by the sun from years of hard work, was now dark red. Damn old woman Zheng, her mouth was still so stinky.

Seeing that they were silent, Zheng Yuan continued, "Since you said you are not following us, then we will move forward and don't let us see you again. Otherwise, I will tell the noble that you are plotting something bad and trying to rob him of his wealth."

First a wave of yin and yang, then a wave of intimidation, it should be useful for a while at least, Zheng Yuan thought.

As expected, when they heard Zheng Yuan say that he was going to tell the nobleman, they all showed fear on their faces. Farmers who had been digging for food in the fields all their lives always seemed to them as if the city people were superior to them, not to mention the rich people in the city, whom they could not afford to offend.

"That's right! Mr. Zhang has hired thugs in his house. One of their fists is bigger than your head. If you dare to follow us again, I don't think you can withstand one of their punches!"

After hearing this, several people were even more shocked.

Zheng Yuan looked at Erhe in surprise. She had only wanted to bring a young man with her to give herself courage, and she was also afraid that the three women would come and tickle her together. Unexpectedly, this child was quite clever, and continued her words.

After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they saw that the women seemed to be afraid to follow them, so they turned around and walked quickly to Duan Minmin and the others, pulling the three of them and walking quickly towards the front.

Looking back, she saw three people talking and not noticing them, so Zheng Yuan quickly pulled them into the alley next to them. Although they had threatened and intimidated them, what if someone who was not afraid of death followed them?
