Erniu was usually close to Zhou Yixin, so he called him.

"Zhou Yixin, was that the second young lady of the Tang family just now?"

"Yes, she came to see me. The Tang family accepted my engagement letter last time, and now she is my fiancée."

Seeing Zhou Yixin's arrogant look, someone joked,

"Is it true? You are entangled with the second young lady of the Tang family, and you hang out with Song Xiaohua every day."

"You know what? This is the charm of a man."

"Tsk, be careful if the Tang family finds out, you're screwed."

"What are you afraid of? After we get married, I will be the son-in-law. I will be the head of the Tang family. When the time comes, you silkworm farmers will still rely on me for support."

Zhou Yixin's words were rough but true. Everyone felt embarrassed, but they still maintained harmony on the surface.

"That's right. If you become the son-in-law of the Tang family, you will either be the manager or the factory director."

Zhou Yixin silently complained in his heart. He looked down upon managers and factory directors. He wanted to be the boss. He thought so in his heart, but he still said politely,

“That still depends on ability.”

Everyone didn't like to hear Zhou Yixin bragging, so Erniu quickly asked about the real matter.

"By the way, there are rumors in town that the Ning family in Shanghai is going to order millions of dollars worth of silk. Is it true? We should go and prepare. We have raised silkworms for so many years, and it is rare to sell them all at once. We won't have to worry about food and drink for the whole year."

Zhou Yixin took a piece of straw and put it in his mouth.

"Of course it's true. If the Tang family succeeds in this deal, they can make a lot of money."

Everyone gasped.

"It's really the Ning family of Shanghai. Oh my god, the richest man in Shanghai has come to Suhe Town. I wonder if I can meet the legendary head of the family."

"What the hell do you want? How could Mr. Ning condescend to come to Suhe Town? The one who came is Mr. Ning's sister. I heard that she is a beauty like a fairy."

"Mr. Ning's sister, you're here to discuss business at such a young age?"

"you do not say,"

"It is said that she is the same age as the second young lady of the Tang family. After all, she is a child. During this period, the second young lady of the Tang family accompanied her to travel around the mountains and rivers. I really want to see such a noble young lady. If I can become Mr. Ning's brother-in-law, I will be very successful in this life, and my ancestors will be honored."

"You are overthinking and daydreaming. We are not even qualified to carry shoes for others in this life, and you still want to climb into the Ning family."

"How is it impossible? Zhou Yixin can even marry the second young lady of the Tang family."

Erniu bumped Zhou Yixin's shoulder.

"Zhou Yixin, you're right, right? Young ladies from wealthy families are all simple and innocent. Maybe they like this kind of style."

Zhou Yixin didn't react much when he heard about Mr. Ning, until everyone mentioned Tang Baozhu. If he could really get married to the Ning family, he would be rich.

Hiss, luxury cars, big bucks, banknotes, celebrities, Ning's Mansion, Paramount, Baozilin Hotel, everything you can think of, he is the best in Shanghai,

He didn't even dare to think about it.

Erniu was right. He could handle Tang Baozhu. As long as he worked hard, he could grind an iron rod into a needle.

As he was thinking about it, Zhou Yixin began to become distracted. He left quickly and had to think of a foolproof plan to get close to Miss Ning.

Erniu looked at Zhou Yixin's hurried back and touched his head.

"Why is Zhou Yixin running so fast?"

"Who knows what he is like? He keeps saying lies all day long. I don't know what Miss Tang Er likes about him."

"He looks so worried, is he really planning to take advantage of Miss Ning?"

"Maybe."

"Just him? He is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat. He really thinks that all the rich girls are the same as Miss Tang Er."

A few people laughed and turned to plant mulberry trees. Only the tall and strong man in the corner remained silent the whole time. Erniu patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah Hu, why don't you say anything? Do you look down on Zhou Yixin's behavior?"

Ah Hu fled to Suhe Town after the war. He almost starved to death on the street a few years ago. It was Tang Baozhu who gave him a steamed bun and sent him to the countryside, where he found a decent job planting mulberry trees. So he was quite grateful to Tang Baozhu.

In recent years, because he is strong, works hard, and doesn't talk much, everyone likes him.

On his dark face, there was a pair of piercing eyes. He took off his straw hat and glanced at Zhou Yixin's departing figure.

"Miss Tang Er is a good person, he can't let her down."

Erniu put his arm around Ah Hu's shoulders.

"Pfft, you really have no business doing this. Zhou Yixin has been involved with Song Xiaohua for a long time. Last time, some villagers were jealous and went to complain to the Second Miss. Guess what happened? Zhou Yixin turned the tables and said that the villagers were jealous of him, so they falsely accused him. But the Second Miss believed it. The Second Miss fell into Zhou Yixin's hands."

Someone echoed,

"It's a willing fight, and it's a willing fight. Why do you worry about it? What's more, Zhou Yixin is from our Sangshu Township. If he really becomes a member of the Tang family, he will definitely benefit from us."

Ah Hu's face darkened and he turned around and left with his hoe on his back.

Tang Baozhu stood at the entrance of the village for a while. The rickshaw driver had just arrived in half an hour, and it would obviously take more than ten minutes. She turned a corner and went to Song Xiaohua's house.

Song Xiaohua's home is not far from the bridge. It is also poor and her family is also a small silkworm farmer.

When Tang Baozhu arrived outside the house, Song Xiaohua was lying on the wooden table sobbing. The wooden table had a broken leg and creaked as Song Xiaohua sobbed.

The room was dark, but clean. Song Xiaohua's father died early. He was drafted to serve as a soldier in a war in another province some time ago. When he was sent back, he was a corpse. Her mother ran away.

Song Xiaohua lived with her grandmother. She was a hard-working girl. It was a pity that she was abused by Zhou Yixin.

Song Xiaohua in the original novel was very miserable. Because she was abused by Zhou Yixin, she was scolded by people in Suhe Town, and was ostracized by fellow silkworm farmers in Sangxiang. Her family once lost its income, and some ruffians even came to molest her.

Song Xiaohua's grandmother disliked her bad reputation and thought she was a money-loser. She beat and scolded her every day, and sometimes drove her out of the house to sleep in the vegetable garden. Later, her grandmother took money from the village's human traffickers and sold Song Xiaohua to the Japanese army as a comfort girl.

In the end, Song Xiaohua committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Tang Baozhu rummaged through her purse and took out a handkerchief.

Song Xiaohua heard the noise and raised her head. There was a big swelling on the right side of her face. When she saw Tang Baozhu, she stopped crying and turned her head away stubbornly.

"Miss Tang Er, are you here to see the joke, or are you here specifically to mock me?"

Tang Baozhu smiled and put the handkerchief into Song Xiaohua's hand.

"I'm here to advise you,"

"Go away, no need for your fake kindness,"

Tang Baozhu sighed.

"Ms. Song, men are not your life, and feelings are not everything for women. Let go as soon as possible and adjust your state. This scumbag is not worth your prison. You deserve better. When you reach the peak, you will find that men are nothing at all."

Song Xiaohua pursed her lips.

"You are the winner, so of course you can teach me a lesson without any shame. Everyone can make sarcastic remarks."

"You are wrong. You don't have to regard me as an enemy. That's all I have to say. If you have figured it out, go report to the Tang Family Silk Weaving Factory. You are diligent and patient, and I believe you can make a name for yourself."

After saying this, Tang Baozhu had no intention of staying. She turned and went to the village entrance.

Song Xiaohua bit her lip and asked,

"Are you saying this because you're afraid that I'll pester Zhou Yixin?"

Tang Baozhu turned around and blinked at her.

"Does he deserve it? Remember, love others as much as you love yourself."

"Love others as much as you love yourself?"

Song Xiaohua murmured softly, looking at Tang Baozhu's back in a trance. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the tender buds of the mulberry tree and fell on her, making her whole body glow.
