After the ropes on several people were untied, Su Shian arranged them to sit on the long bench one by one, while he and his brothers and sisters sat on the other side. As for Zhao Yi, he was worried that the two sides would have another conflict, so he chose to stand aside and watch the situation.

Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, Su Shian finally got to the point and said, "This is what happened. We invited you all here because we hope you can lend us a hand."

"Oh? How can we help you?" one of them asked in confusion.

At this time, Su Shikuan suddenly interrupted and said, "Of course, I'm helping to sell our tofu and bean curd!"

Hearing this, Si'er couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Isn't your shop's business quite prosperous? Why do you need help from others..."

Before Si'er finished speaking, Su Shi'an couldn't wait to take over the conversation, and said with a beaming face: "Our store's business is good, but wouldn't it be better if we could take it to the next level!" Then, she turned to Su Shirong and shouted: "Third brother, take out the scroll and show it to them. Give each of them one."

Su Shirong quickly pulled out an item from his sleeve - it was the masterpiece that his brothers and sisters had worked hard on until late at night! Then, he handed the scrolls to everyone one by one in an orderly manner.

"Wow, this is so similar..."

"That's true..."

"yes!"

Su Shian continued, "The next thing I'd like to trouble you to do is to take this painting to each city gate and promote our tofu and bean curd to people entering the city."

However, some people expressed doubts: "But people may not believe us..."

At this time, Su Shirong explained: "That's why you need to bring this painting!"

Si Er suddenly understood and interrupted: "So that's how it is. Just show them this painting and they will understand!"

Wu Er seemed particularly excited, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Sister Hongdou, you see there are copper coins painted on it. Young master, could it be that a piece of tofu only costs one penny?"

Su Shirong did not hesitate to praise Wu'er. He gave Wu'er a thumbs up and praised: "Yes, you are absolutely right." In his eyes, Wu'er was undoubtedly the smartest child. Although he was still young, he could see through the key information in the scroll at a glance.

"Yes, Brother Xiaowu is right!" Su Shian thought to herself, this little guy looked so thin and short, he must be much younger than her. However, she didn't realize that she actually said two wrong things.

"Young Master, you are mistaken. My name is Wu'er, not Xiaowu. Also, Father Hong said that I am already eight years old."

"What? Eight years old?" Su Shian couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. After all, she was already quite petite, and the child who claimed to be eight years old was only a little taller than her. "Third brother, look, he's the same size as you!"

Facing his sister's surprise, Su Shirong was very calm. After all, in his eyes, Su Shian was also so petite and lovely, and they had lived a hard life since childhood and had poor diet, so they naturally grew up more slowly. Therefore, Su Shirong could understand Wu'er's current appearance.

At this time, Su Shining couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked the others, "How old are you?"

Si Er was the first to answer: "To answer your question, sir, I am nine years old this year."

Hongdou then reported: "I am fourteen years old this year." Hearing this, Zhao Yi secretly muttered in his heart, such a grown-up girl is still yelling all day long. But then he thought, after all, they are just a group of beggars...

However, because she had not eaten enough for a long time, Hongdou had not developed at all and could not have her period. Therefore, not many people cared about how old she really was. Otherwise, with her pretty face, someone might want to take advantage of her.

"I'm eleven."

"I'm eleven too."

Da Niu and Tiedan look to be of similar age, both slightly younger than Hongdou.

Su Shining thought to herself that it seemed that Hongdou was the only one who was a few years older than her, so how did they survive until now? With full of doubts, she asked, "Do you have other brothers or sisters?"

Si'er shook his head and replied softly, "No, Yu'er is only five years old this year, and Xiaodouzi is even younger, only four years old."

Hongdou paused, then continued, "I heard from my childhood that he did have several older brothers, but they all left after they became adults."

When mentioning this, Hongdou seemed a little unhappy, and it was obvious that she was full of resentment towards those people. Back then, Granny Li, Granny Yan, and Old Man Hong had raised them with great difficulty, but these people had no gratitude at all. Not only that, before leaving, they also took away more than a hundred copper coins that Old Man Hong had saved for many years, and that money was originally intended to be used to rent a place to live.

"So that's it!" Everyone was silent, thinking to themselves. No wonder the whole family had to rely on this little girl to beg on the street to make a living. It must be because of the pressure of life. At this moment, everyone seemed to have a little more understanding and tolerance for Hongdou's previous bad temper.

"However, we can't always dwell on the hardships of the past." At this time, Su Shian spoke up, trying to break the silence in front of him: "Sister Hongdou, I just asked you to help sell tofu, and I haven't mentioned the reward yet!"

Hongdou responded: "My dear young master, you are too polite. It would be great if you could ensure that we have bean curd cakes to eat every day and can fill our stomachs. Only in this way will we have enough energy to find more people..."

"Of course." Su Shi'an answered without hesitation, "Not only will we have a sufficient supply of bean curd cakes, but whoever among you successfully attracts five customers to the shop to taste the tofu pudding will be rewarded with a copper coin."

As soon as the voice fell, Hongdou and the others asked at the same time: "Are you serious?" For those who make a living by begging, being able to earn copper coins is undoubtedly a very lucky thing. Although these rich kids talk nonsense, after all, they are still young and may not have absolute decision-making power in handling household affairs, so everyone can't help but have some doubts in their hearts.
