The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains
Chapter 70 The Shop Belongs to You
Xue Qingqiu's lips curled up into a smile, and he turned his head to say softly: "How can this be called nonsense? I am just guiding the children to recite the classics, is this wrong?"
Yan Heng was always strict in teaching, and he rarely frowned at his wife when he heard this: "But you missed a sentence and made a mistake in the sentence, which is really wrong."
Xue Qingqiu imitated Yan Lizheng and joked, "Alas, as we get older, our memory is bound to be worse than before. In that case, you come to teach Xiaobai. It just so happens that Sister Wu sent a winter melon this morning. I'll go and make a pot of winter melon soup for you two. Lan'er, come and help mother add firewood."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yunlan followed him into the kitchen.
The remaining three people looked at each other. Xie Li pretended that he saw nothing and slowly turned his head to the side.
Seeing the boy looking at him expectantly, Yan Heng couldn't help but soften his expression and said softly, "Child, come here. Your aunt said something wrong just now. Let me tell you again."
Xie Bai stepped forward excitedly.
After a while, Yan Heng stroked his beard and listened with great satisfaction as Xie Bai recited what he had taught.
It was a rare opportunity to meet such a smart child, and I was immediately attracted by his talent. Just as I was about to continue teaching him the rest of the content, I heard my wife cough lightly.
She leaned leisurely against the door frame, with a bit of teasing in her eyes, looking at her husband who was immersed in the joy of teaching: "The winter melon soup is ready, husband, come and have dinner."
Yan Heng had just gotten over his addiction to teaching and educating people, and was still not satisfied. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "You and Lan'er eat first."
"That won't work." Xue Qingqiu came over to pull the man back, "You're not hungry, but their two children are."
"How about eating at aunt's house?" Xue Qingqiu looked at the two siblings.
Xie Bai tried hard to suppress his desire for knowledge, shook his head and said, "Thank you, auntie. My sister-in-law and mother are still at home. We will leave first."
After saying this, he bowed.
Xue Qingqiu took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it over: "Take this silver back to your sister-in-law and ask her to make these two delicious dishes. Come back tomorrow and let your uncle Yan teach you the rest."
Xie Bai's eyes lit up.
He was not willing to take the money and quickly ran away with Xie Li.
Xue Qingqiu looked at the backs of the little brother and sister, his smile almost overflowing from his eyes.
Yan Heng looked at his wife's back and shook his head helplessly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xie Bai's heart was still pounding until he ran back home. After sharing the news with Xu Yingtao and Jiang, they were both delighted.
Xu Yingtao said, "I'll go to the town tomorrow to ask what I need to prepare for the apprenticeship gift. I'll prepare everything."
Jiang was shocked: "Isn't this too hasty?"
"Don't be in a hurry. It's better to be lucky than to be early. It's rare to meet someone who is knowledgeable and willing to teach Xiao Bai. We must seize the opportunity. Whether he accepts us or not is one thing, but we must show our attitude."
Jiang heard this and thought it was true. She nodded and said, "You are very thoughtful."
The next day, as soon as the two food stalls were set up, the townspeople gathered around, some with bowls and some with baskets. The food that usually took an hour to sell out took less than half an hour today.
The storm of false accusations a few days ago was resolved so easily.
After closing her stall, Xu Yingtao went to Jishidiang and asked Manager Luo about the six gifts required when becoming an apprentice. She bought everything she could and then returned home.
Everything is back on track and is moving in a positive direction.
Unlike Xu Yingtao who was in high spirits when the good news came, Manager Ding's family was in a state of gloom and sorrow at this moment.
At this moment, he was throwing a divorce letter in the faces of the Jin siblings.
After listening to the servant read out the contents of the divorce letter, Jin's expression gradually changed from confusion to horror.
She yelled at the top of her lungs, "You can't divorce me. Why should you divorce me?!"
Jin Erxi was also shocked and tried to persuade him: "Brother-in-law, I did something bad with good intentions. This is all my fault. Why do you want to divorce my sister?"
Manager Ding snorted coldly and looked at the two siblings coldly: "The doctor in the mansion has confessed to me. If you feel dissatisfied, let's go to the county government and let the county magistrate make the decision."
Upon hearing this, Jin's face turned pale with fright.
Her plan was exposed just like that?
Jin Erxi didn't dare to say another word.
If this matter were reported to the county government, their family would be exiled at best, or even beheaded at worst.
Seeing them speechless, Shopkeeper Ding was completely disappointed.
"As we are husband and wife, I will not pursue this matter any further. If you, the Jin family, dare to come to my Zui Xiang Lou to cause trouble in the future, don't blame me for not considering the relationship we once had as husband and wife!"
After saying this, Shopkeeper Ding waved his sleeves and left.
After he walked away, Jin Erxi said to Jin unwillingly, "Sister, are we just giving up so easily?"
Just as Jin was about to speak, she saw the servants of Ding's house rushing over to surround the two of them, and a maid brought out several boxes.
Jin recognized the box as hers and quickly shouted, "What are you doing?"
The leading servant smiled and said, "Madam, no, it's Jin Niangzi, our master said that you have been divorced, and asked us to send all your things back to your parents' home. If you are worried, you can check them first."
Jin sat on the ground with a dejected look on her face, knowing that any further struggle would be futile.
It was two days later when Xu Yingtao learned about this.
She was just about to close her stall when she saw the old couple from the bun shop waving at her.
Xu Yingtao walked forward and asked with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, are you looking for my help?"
The old man shook his head, pulled out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to her.
In case Xu Yingtao was illiterate, the old man smiled and explained: "This is the deed to our bun shop. The name has been changed. It will belong to you in the future."
In fact, there was no need for him to explain it. Xu Yingtao had already seen it from the moment she got the house deed.
But because he had to pretend to be illiterate, he could only try to suppress his emotions and said in astonishment, "Grandpa, please don't joke around. We agreed before that I can only buy this shop when I have enough money next year. How can it belong to me now?"
The old man smiled and said, "This is all the good karma you have created. If you have any questions, you can go to Zui Xiang Lou to ask. I have to thank you for telling me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to sell this shop at such a good price."
The old lady at the side echoed: "I said you are lucky, girl. You bring good luck to whoever is close to you."
The Zhao couple witnessed the whole process and were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time. However, they nodded in agreement when they heard it.
This girl is really a blessing for the family. Ever since the two families became close, the Zheng family has made a lot of money. Now, they can have a big meal of meat every now and then.
The old man handed over the key to the shop and said, "Young lady, our luggage has been packed. A bullock cart will come to pick us up to go back to our hometown this afternoon. This shop will be handed over to you in the future."
The old lady wrapped the last twenty or so buns and handed them to Xu Yingtao with a smile: "In the past, I always relied on you for your favors, and I never treated you to a good meal of buns. These are specially reserved for you."
