That day, after dinner, she was strolling in the village and saw several women doing needlework together under a tree at the entrance of the village. Her eyes lit up and she immediately went over to them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, everyone saw that it was her and immediately packed up their things and dispersed, leaving Zhao Cuihua confused.

She didn't take it to heart, and then she went to visit the family who often gossiped about her, but she couldn't knock on the door no matter how hard she tried.

She clearly heard someone talking inside.

Zhao Cuihua thought bitterly and turned to walk home. The villagers she met on the way turned their heads away and ignored her.

Zhao Cuihua was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she didn't understand what was going on.

When she returned home, she was greeted by Xiao Tiequan's angry glare.

Zhao Cuihua felt nervous. What happened to the boss?

Xiao Tiequan strode over, pulled Zhao Cuihua over, and angrily asked, "What did you do in the village?"

When Zhao Cuihua heard this, she was shocked. Oh no, Xiao Tiequan knew about that?

No, I can’t admit it myself, I have to find a way quickly.

She was just about to pull Xiao Tiequan over to protest his injustice, singing, reciting, and performing martial arts exercises.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tiequan's next words shocked her. What? Is it related to Xiao Wan's family?

Xiao Tiequan asked angrily, "Why are you talking nonsense about my second brother's family? People have come to hate you after hearing your instigation. Now even few people in the village pay attention to me."

It turned out that Xiao Tiequan was often treated coldly in the village, and he couldn't stand it. He was also a strong-willed person, so he felt very hurt.

It was his good childhood friend who couldn't stand it anymore and told him about it.

Only then did Xiao Tiequan realize that his wife's reputation in the village had become bad and people were unwilling to associate with his family anymore.

Xiao Tiequan pointed at her tremblingly and said, "Isn't it enough for you to eat and drink well at home? Don't you have any shame for your son to study outside? When you marry your son in the future, if people find out that his mother has such a character, who would be willing to marry their daughter to your son?"

Zhao Cuihua listened in a daze, and then she realized, okay, it’s you, the Xiao Laoer family, who are against me again!

She held a handkerchief, covered her face with it, and cried, "Boss, this is really unfair to me. I just said a few words to them, nothing else. The Xiao family ignored them, and they took out their anger on me. How can this be justified?"

She was sure that Xiao Tiequan would fall for her tricks. As a weak woman, if she lowered herself and cried a few times, Xiao Tiequan would not be willing to scold her.

Just like he was reluctant to work hard in the fields, Zhao Cuihua thought proudly.

Sure enough, after Xiao Tiequan heard this and saw his wife lying on the ground crying pitifully, his heart couldn't help but soften.

Zhao Cuihua was quite pretty and fairer than other village women. Xiao Tiequan was attracted by her beauty and insisted on marrying her. He spent 15 taels of silver on the betrothal gift alone.

His friend also said at the time that he had to keep a good eye on such a beautiful daughter-in-law to avoid being coveted by others.

So Xiao Tiequan treated her like a treasure after marrying her home, but now he is soft-hearted. Zhao Cuihua is even more proud. Humph, she is still under my control.

Xiao Tiequan sighed and said to Zhao Cuihua, "Second brother and we are family. Please stop saying bad things about his family. They haven't wronged us. They even came to me for business. Go apologize to Second brother's family and let's move on from this."

When Zhao Cuihua heard this, she was very angry. Why should she apologize? She had not done anything wrong.

But I can't go against Xiao Tiequan right now, because he is a donkey that goes with the flow.

So she pretended to wipe her tears, leaned in Xiao Tiequan's arms and said coquettishly: "I don't want to go now, I feel uncomfortable. Master, can we go later?"

Xiao Tiequan was leaning against his wife's arms, feeling warm and soft. He nodded dizzily. Zhao Cuihua gave him a wink, and Xiao Tiequan carried her into the house.

As for the apology, haha, Zhao Cuihua thought, the Xiao family is thinking strangely, Meilai, just wait at home!

Xiao Wan didn't know about these things and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

But Zhao Cuihua kept causing trouble for her family, and Xiao Wan was getting very impatient.

If I don't teach you a lesson, you're going to treat me like a soft persimmon, right?

When Zhang Liang came back, he reported the decoration of the store to Xiao Wan. It was basically done. Xiao Wan also went into the town to take a look several times and designed it according to her own ideas.

Zhang Liang and the Chen family had thought of things that Xiao Wan had not thought of, which made her feel less worried.

Zhang Liang also praised Chen Youli to Xiao Wan: "Miss, this shopkeeper Chen is really worthy of being a shopkeeper. He has thought of every detail."

Xiao Wan was also very happy. Chen Qing, Mingyue and Wanxia were also diligent. They made work clothes of uniform color and style, and the tools for making them were also in place.

I specially set up a baking oven in the kitchen, put some baking trays and other things in it, ready to bake snacks. For this, Mingyue and Wanxia needed to learn how to make snacks from me.

Xiao Wan also cleared a space at the door, placed some green plants there as a fence, and made a sign for the shop, which was called: Qilixiang. The four small words "Xiao's Restaurant" were engraved on the lower left corner of the sign, which also served as a mark.

The packaging of other items such as vermicelli noodles, duck products, and dim sum also requires the words "Xiao Ji" to be printed on the oil paper before being taken away.
