Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

When Liu Xu saw Chang Yifei agreed, she immediately put away her pitiful look and smiled.

Young Master Chang's mouth twitched as he watched, and he immediately asked, "Why don't you teach them how to grow mushrooms? They can make more money than pickled vegetables, right?"

Liu Xu shook his head and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to teach them, it's that I don't dare to teach them. They can't defend themselves. The people of Tuqiao Village are not like those of Liujia Village. You saw their situation just now. They were beaten so badly that they didn't even dare to report to the police!"

Chang Yifei was surprised: "They... were beaten by the villagers?"

“They are not from this village, but if the people of Tuqiao Village were united, how could they be bullied like this?”

Tuqiao Village is large, with many people and various surnames, so it is naturally not like Liujia Village where one clan is one village. Moreover… the Liu family is not united. After all, there are many people with the surname Liu in Tuqiao Village.

"Tell me about it?" Chang Yifei rarely gossiped.

Liu Xu rolled her eyes at him, but still told him about the Liu family.

"You see, the people were beaten up like that, but the village chief and clan leader dared not even fart. If they were allowed to grow mushrooms, if the Xu family wanted them, I'm afraid these people would not only not protect them, but would also help to get them!"

She felt depressed when she thought about her aunt's family. She was also unable to spare any time now, and her uncle and eldest cousin also needed treatment. So she let the three families be arrogant for a while.

Ha, you are familiar with Zhen Cheng, right? She wants to see if Zhen Cheng dares to protect them when the time comes!

Chang Yifei looked at her gritting her teeth and inexplicably wanted to light a stick of incense for the person she was thinking about. After all, he didn't know if her cousin who died last time was still alive.

Although, he was also involved, but he was just doing what she said. At most, he was just an... accomplice!

"Well, if that's the case, why don't you let them stay in Liujia Village? If people knew that your cousin's pickled cabbage could be sold to Zuiyunxuan, and asked her for the recipe, would she give it to them? If not, would the previous incident happen again?"

"Oh, yes! Anyway, my uncle's family is his only branch. I'll ask him when I get back!"

If they didn't want to, she could think of other ways. Anyway, she didn't want to let the Xu family, Fang family and Li family go.

Liu Xiumei, who was shopping, didn't know that her little niece not only found a livelihood for her family, but was also planning to avenge them.

Xu Ruolan came with a group of about ten people, which was not a small group. However, there were many wealthy people in the county. In addition, Xu Ruolan and Ye Miaoyin were both of good temperament. She also specially wore the jewelry that Uncle An bought for her today. Many people just thought that it was some lady taking her servants shopping.

In fact, she didn't want to buy anything, but as a woman, she was born to love shopping.

Liu Xiumei's family and Ye Miaoyin's mother and daughter didn't have much to buy. One of them didn't have much money, and the other was like Xu Ruolan, who didn't want to buy anything.

However, Chen Lan and Zhuang Dani planned to go to Jixiang Cloth Shop to buy some cloth, so they went there together.

Because Liu Xu looked like her mother, Xu Ruolan was recognized as soon as she entered.

"Madam Liu, how are you? How come you have time to come here in person today? Do you want to order fabric?" Shopkeeper Ling came forward and greeted her warmly.

"Thanks to the shopkeeper, I'm fine! I'm here today to accompany my relatives to look at the fabrics. The workshop has enough for now. Does the shopkeeper have any recommendations?" Xu Ruolan replied gracefully.

"What a coincidence! A batch of fabrics arrived yesterday. These fabrics were all sent from Jiangnan. They are brightly colored and soft in texture, making them very suitable for making winter clothes." Shopkeeper Ling said as he led everyone inside.

Xu Ruolan nodded when she heard that. "Okay, please ask someone to show us around!"

Ling Zhijie waved and called Hu Zi over, "Then I won't bother you any more. You can take your time to choose."

Hu Zi has had many contacts with the Liu family and is considered an acquaintance. He is also smart, so there is no need to worry that he will neglect them.

People came over quickly, and the young man took everyone to see the fabric with a smile on his face.

Xu Ruolan did not follow, but stopped Ling Zhijie who was about to go back to settle the score.

"Manager Ling, please stay!"

"Madam Liu, is there anything else you need help with?" Ling Zhijie asked puzzledly.

"I wonder if any good materials arrived in the store yesterday?"

Seeing Ling Zhijie was stunned, he understood something in his heart, and then he spoke again:

"I'm going back to Kyoto to visit my parents after the New Year, so I want to prepare a few more sets of clothes for Xu'er. I don't want the brocade and moon-shaped silk, as my elders bought them a few days ago!"

His tone was neither hurried nor slow, with a decent smile on his face, and Ling Zhijie was shocked.

He understood that Madam Liu was trying to answer his questions rather than show off. What shocked him was the change in the identities of the mother and daughter. Anyone who could wear Yue Ling Sha was not an ordinary person.

It's not because of the size of the official position, but because Yuelingsha is expensive! More expensive than brocade! Brocade costs more than ten taels, and that thing costs more than thirty taels of silver per piece! An official with an average family background may not be willing to buy it!

Oh, he remembered... a few days ago, an old man came and took away more than a dozen pieces of Yueling gauze and brocade in the store. Could it be their family?

"Is that so? Manager Ling?" Seeing that he was distracted, Xu Ruolan couldn't help but remind him.

"Ah? Ah, yes, it was also luck. I got three pieces of Liulijin this time. One was sold yesterday, so now there are only two left." Ling Zhijie reacted and said immediately.

"Then take me to see it!" Liulijin! It was hard to buy in Yongkang City before, and it was really a skill for Manager Ling to be able to buy it in the county town.

"Then please ask Madam and the others to go upstairs and wait for a while."

Ling Zhijie's attitude was slightly respectful. After all, this woman was no longer the peasant woman he had worked with before.

"Okay, Manager Ling, please wait for a moment. I'll tell my relatives and friends who are traveling with me!"

"You're welcome, ma'am!"

Xu Ruolan chased after them and talked to the others. Chen Lan and Zhuang Dani said they wanted to take another look at the fabrics, while the others chose to go upstairs with Xu Ruolan and wait for them.

So, Manager Ling personally led everyone upstairs and ordered people to serve tea and snacks.

After taking the group to a private room, Ling Zhijie went to get the cloth himself. Brother He Feng stood at the door.

"I didn't expect that I could buy glass brocade in a small county like Qinghe County. The shopkeeper here is quite capable." Ye Miaoyin took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Xu Ruolan nodded when she heard that. "Yeah, I was a little surprised too. I originally wanted to ask if there was any Yanluo brocade. Uncle An bought a lot of brocade and Yueling yarn before, but for winter clothes, brocade is still better."

Ye Miaoyin nodded in agreement. Others didn't quite understand, but they didn't ask any more questions.

Old Mrs. Zhang felt very complicated at this time. Only then did she clearly realize that the second son's wife was a real rich lady.

Compared with her, the previous Chen was just like the white clouds in the sky and the other was like the mud on the ground.

If Liu Xu knew what she was thinking, she would definitely tell her that this is called "a world of difference"!

When she thought about how she had treated her and her mother before, her face turned pale and she began to tremble a little.

Liu Xiumei, who was sitting next to her, saw this and asked nervously, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold?"

Xu Ruolan and the others turned around after hearing this...
