At this moment, he had no thoughts in his mind. The step from the child on him was so painful that it made him furious.

His face darkened, and he endured the pain, took a step forward, and swung the folding fan towards Meng Yu's face!

Zhao Susu was startled. She knew that this young master was not a good person. She was very scared at first, but now she protected Meng Yu without thinking.

Just as the fan was about to hit Zhao Susu on the back, a voice shouted, "Stop!"

Young Master Jiang paused, reluctantly put away his hand, and clasped his fists perfunctorily: "Master!"

It was Master Zhou who came. Master Zhou asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Young Master Jiang immediately said, "Master, this child is naughty and hits people for no reason. I just scared her. I hope she will learn a lesson and be a good student in the future!"

His followers also said, "Yes, this child is so young, and he just hits people casually. His mother just watched and did nothing to stop him!"

"This is a private school, a place for scholars. How could someone bully scholars here? Doesn't this mean they don't take Master Zhou seriously?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Huang Laogen. He has seen it all from beginning to end."

The gatekeeper nodded immediately: "Master Jiang is right!"

Everyone was blaming Zhao Susu and Meng Yu. Master Zhou frowned. He knew what kind of person Jiang Xu was, and he had also seen the mother and daughter standing there.

Zhao Susu had never seen such a scene before and was unable to argue for a moment.

Meng Yu was angry: "Bad guy, I went to find my uncle, but he stopped me and wanted to touch my mother's face."

Master Zhou's face darkened. Although the child only said one sentence, it was not difficult to guess what had happened.

He turned to Jiang Xu with a sharp look.

Jiang Xu actually didn't agree with it in his heart, but his father had said that if he dared to cause trouble in the private school, his monthly salary would be stopped, and his grandmother and mother would not be allowed to help him.

He said reluctantly: "It's all a misunderstanding, Master, I was just joking with them!"

Master Zhou frowned and said in a cold voice: "Studying is for understanding reason, understanding reason is for self-cultivation, and self-cultivation is for being a good person. You are so immoral at the gate of the private school. Jiang Xu, the private school is a small place, you should go home. I will have a good talk with your father about this matter!"

"Come on, Master, I was just joking. There were so many people here, how could I really do anything? I was just teasing the kids!"

Those followers were talking excitedly just now, and now no one dared to say a word.

Master Zhou said nothing.

Jiang Xu was a little panicked: "Master, I was wrong, I promise I won't do it again! Please forgive me this time, I will study hard in the future!"

Master Zhou said in a deep voice: "You are destroying your own virtues, it is not me you should ask for help!"

Jiang Xu rolled his eyes and immediately bowed to Zhao Susu: "Sister, I shouldn't have joked with you. I was wrong. Please forgive me!"

Zhao Susu stepped back and held Meng Yu in her arms.

She saw clearly that the man was about to hit Ayu just now.

Master Zhou waved his hand: "Why don't you go back?"

Jiang Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and several people hurried into the private school.

Zhao Susu understood very well that they did not really think they were wrong, but were just afraid of being driven away by Master Zhou.

She bowed and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Master Zhou sighed, "It's the students of the private school who are misbehaving and have wronged you. Who is your uncle? I'll send someone to find him for you!"

Meng Yu frowned. Originally, she wanted to use this excuse to enter the private school and see if Master Zhou wanted a dress. But after being disturbed by the woman surnamed Jiang, Master Zhou would definitely think that they were taking this opportunity to force him to buy the dress.

She pulled Zhao Susu: "Mother, let's not look for uncle today, let's go!"

A bad start.

The little girl's eyebrows were wrinkled and she felt very frustrated.

The patriarchal society in this world was more serious than she had imagined. However, for the rest of their lives, they and their mother would either have to stay in the village, living in fear of death, starving, and being bullied, or go out and work hard to find a way out.

She will slowly pull Zhao Susu out of that quagmire.

Zhao Susu took Meng Yu to the garment shop to deliver the goods. Sensing Meng Yu's frustration, Zhao Susu comforted her: "Ayu, don't worry. The garment shop will buy them anyway, so you won't have to worry about selling them!"

Meng Yu didn't want to talk. Selling products to others wasn't working. He couldn't just let the garment shop take advantage of him every time, right?

The mother and daughter arrived at the clothing shop and first took out the two pieces of clothing that were made for them. After the shopkeeper checked them, he couldn't find any problems with them. He readily paid sixty cents and also returned the small silver ingot as a deposit.

Zhao Susu felt it was a little difficult to say, but she still asked him softly: "I also made something else, boss, will you accept it?"

The shopkeeper who was adding an entry to the account book raised his head and put his pen away, "I have to check the goods first!"

Meng Yu took off the cloth bag on his back.

The shopkeeper took a look and thought that the workmanship of the shirt was better than that of the best tailor in his shop, and the material was also good. The sleeves of the shirt were embroidered with bamboo, and the embroidery was natural.

He is an expert at knowing what is good. The embroidery may seem simple, with just a few stitches, but after adding them, this moon-white shirt will surely make the wearer look elegant and graceful.

However, he suppressed the amazement in his eyes, and when he raised his head, his face was calm: "The material of the shirt is OK, and the workmanship is passable. So, I will give you the highest price, one hundred coins. As for this one, forty coins!"

Meng Yu was stunned. The last time she came, there was a lanfang hanging in the shop. It was not embroidered and was sold for 380 coins. The ordinary clothes, whose workmanship was not as good as her mother's, were also 150 coins each. It was a rip-off to only offer 140 coins for something worth more than 500 coins.

Zhao Susu did the math in her mind. The cloth was 92 cents, the thread was 3 cents, a total of 95 cents. She could sell it for 140 cents and make a profit of 45 cents. That seemed okay.

She was about to nod, Meng Yu raised his eyes and said, "Uncle, two hundred coins, more later!"

The shopkeeper laughed: "How is that possible? I am willing to offer 140 coins because this is the second transaction. If someone else came, I would be lucky if I could offer 100 coins!"

Zhao Susu was in a dilemma. She certainly hoped to sell more, but if the shopkeeper disagreed, would she not be able to get the job here?

Meng Yu looked up and felt his neck was so sore. His small body couldn't support his big head. He felt melancholy!

"Uncle, my mother is good at cooking and can help you make it!"

Zhao Susu saw Meng Yu trying to bargain for her, and her heart moved. She learned her sewing and embroidery skills in the Jiang family's tailoring room, which was her advantage: "Boss, add some!"

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, saying, "I can't add any more! If you're willing, I'll still charge you for it in the future. We value long-term cooperation, don't you agree?"

Zhao Susu frowned, hesitant.

Meng Yu puffed up her little face, frowned, and shook her head: "No, I won't sell it!"

The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Susu with a half-smile: "Young lady, what do you think? Children are young, so they naturally want more, but things have prices and things have rules. Adults must understand this truth! Don't you agree?"
