"Well, you're right, kid. Xiao Yi, do as you're told!"

Jiang Yi couldn't help smacking his lips after hearing this, thinking to himself that this kid is really good at talking!

If he had half the skills of this kid, why would he worry that his master wouldn't hand over the store to him?

Seeing that Gu Ermiao had already left, Shopkeeper Qian reached out and grabbed Jiang Yi who was about to leave, and whispered, "Hurry up and go to Xuanhu Hall and ask Shopkeeper Huang to ask two apprentices to come and get them out. Who knows if these two families have set up a plan to deduct money from us in advance? We are doing business honestly, but we can't fight them. This way, even if the government comes, we can explain it clearly."

Jiang Yi opened his eyes wide when he heard that.

Oh, Master is still more powerful than Gu Ermiao. The higher the virtue, the higher the evil!

Just as he was about to slip out of the shop and go to Xuanhu Hall, he saw Zhao'er suddenly open his eyes.

When everyone saw her open her eyes, they couldn't help but cheer.

Zhao'er looked around in confusion, and finally realized that this was still the candied fruit shop, and she was still lying in the arms of a beautiful lady.

She didn't die...

This embrace is so warm, just like a mother's...

She couldn't remember how long it had been since her mother hugged her like this...

When the lady saw her wake up, the worry in her eyes faded a little, and she asked softly, "Miss Zhao'er, besides the pain on your forehead, do you feel any other discomfort?"

Zhao'er felt that her voice seemed to be coming from behind water and was not very clear. After Lin Qing asked again, he slowly shook his head.

Zhao'er was helped to stand up and found that there were only a few people left in the store. The shopkeeper looked at her with undisguised resentment, as if scolding her for delaying his business. She could not help but lower her head shyly and dared not look him in the eye.

I looked around and found that my father's straw sandals were missing, and my heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Summoning up the courage to look up slightly, I found that my father was really not there. His face was even pale, and even his breathing was a little difficult. He asked tremblingly, "Where is my dad?"

Without waiting for Gu Ermiao to stop him, Jiang Yi spoke frankly and said everything.

"I'm telling you, why are you still thinking about that heartless guy? He saw you bleeding and not only didn't help you, he even took advantage of the chaos and ran away. How can he be called a father? If he hadn't reported you to the police and blackmailed us, I would have despised him!"

Zhao'er was so shocked by Jiang Yi's scolding that she was stunned for a moment, and burst into tears before he could finish his words.

Seeing that she was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe and her lips were a little blue, Lin Qing glared at Jiang Yi angrily and patted Zhao'er's back to comfort her.

"Girl, don't be too sad. Your father may be doing this for your own good."

Zhao'er hiccuped and sobbed, "I haven't thanked you yet for saving my life, Auntie. I just don't know what you meant by what you said just now."

Before listening to her question, Lin did not forget to thank himself first. He liked her understanding very much. Before he opened his mouth, he heard his second son speak first.

"Isn't that easy to think about? Your father must have seen that you'd rather die than get married, so forcing you to leave is definitely pushing you into a fire pit. Instead of letting you die, it would be better to just tell the other party that you're dead. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?

"And I saw him look back several times before he left. Seeing that we didn't leave him to die, I think he was relieved."

After hearing what Gu Ermiao said, Zhao'er felt both warm and sad in his heart.

Thinking back to what my father had just said, 'If you don't agree, you will die,' I realized that what he said might be true.

She really didn't expect that her honest, simple and timid father could plan so much for her, and her dry eyes became moist again.

But this time, besides sadness, the tears were also mixed with some indescribable joy.

Zhao'er thought to herself, although it was a bit unfilial to think so, today she would just consider herself dead, with her body thrown into the wilderness, and she would never have a family again.

She... is free!

She knew that as the eldest daughter, she should do everything for the family, but after so many years, she was really tired.

Especially after having a younger brother, her father and mother never paid attention to her and her sister. Pan'er was open-minded by nature and didn't take it to heart, but she couldn't get over it and was almost exhausted.

It’s better to leave now. She doesn’t believe that she can’t make a future with her own hands!

After a brief moment of joy, she felt a little worried.

Although she wanted to cut off all ties with the past, her father was tongue-tied and couldn't even win an argument with her mother. Anyone in the village could bully him. If he went to the Jia family to break off the engagement, would he be harassed?

Will the village head let him go?

If the engagement fails and the Jia family insists on having the person, what should she do if her father comes looking for her again...

Zhao'er was upset, but it was obvious that someone else was more desperate at the moment.

Shopkeeper Qian called back Jiang Yi, who had not yet left the house. Although he was very happy to save the medical fee, he pondered Gu Ermiao's words for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He suddenly shouted:

"That's not right, boy. If her father is too cowardly to go and break off the engagement, and I spread the word that I saved someone, wouldn't the Jia family come and cause trouble for me?"

Gu Ermiao thought to himself that you finally figured it out, so he gave an apologetic smile.

He was angrily about to say "What does that have to do with me? I'll take her to the police right now", but he was overwhelmed by the sweet treat that Gu Ermiao offered him.

"Shopkeeper, you have a kind heart. You will definitely not bear to watch her die in vain."

Shopkeeper Qian was so choked that he couldn't speak. Only then did he realize that what Gu Ermiao said at that time was a lie to him!

The purpose is to flatter him and make him rescue the girl!

"Manager Qian, you are a magnanimous person who keeps your word. You promised to save this girl in front of so many elders and fellow villagers. You must not go back on your word. Otherwise, how can you do business in the future?"

Lin Qing looked at Gu Ermiao with a sly smile on his face, and thought that although Ermiao's approach was rough, it was very effective.

She didn't expect that Er Miao could "prescribe the right medicine" to deal with Manager Qian with just a brief contact. He is really a talented businessman!

Shopkeeper Qian was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger after being complimented for being "short-tempered".

"you……"

Besides those annoying guys in the store, there was also a group of onlookers gathered at the door. Not only did it delay business, but they also didn't know how they would be laughed at by that bastard named Yang.

The more Shopkeeper Qian thought about it, the angrier he became. When he looked at Lin Qing and his mother, the anger in their eyes seemed to be bursting out.

They were so happy to pay just now, but now they are nitpicking about the signature preserves as soon as they put them in their mouths;

Even if there is no such thing, it must be intentional to destroy my business!

No, they have to pay compensation!

Shopkeeper Qian angrily said, "Hmph, you guys ruined my business, and you think you can get rid of me with a few nice words? Tell me, are you pawns specially sent by the Yang Family Preserved Fruit Shop? I'm warning you, I'm not a pushover!"

"Either you pay me and settle the matter today, or we'll go to the government office and beat the drum to file a complaint. I want to see where justice and morality lie!"

Although Jiang Yi spoke his mind, he was perceptive. Seeing that his master was getting more and more upset, he quickly stopped him.
