In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

"Your vegetables aren't as fresh as theirs, and your prices aren't as affordable as theirs. Instead of trying to improve your own competitiveness and advantages, you resort to such despicable tactics to exploit others. This proves not only that your products aren't as good as theirs, but that your moral character is also far inferior to theirs."

Liu Xiaohua said without hesitation.

The vendor was stunned by Liu Xiaohua's words.

After a confrontation between the two, the merchant finally gave in and agreed to apologize to Su Zhizhi.

"I'm sorry, it's our fault. We were petty and calculative, so we had the wrong intention to destroy your stall. We won't do this again. I hope you can forgive us."

After the vendor finished speaking, he handed the silver and money that the others had just collected to Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi took the silver and money and checked it carefully. After making sure that the amount was sufficient, she put the money into her bag with satisfaction.

"Okay, that's the end of today. I hope you won't do something like this again in the future."

Su Zhizhi reminded the other party that after all, she would have to continue working here and selling vegetables in the future, and she didn't want to waste most of her time on such a small matter.

"Ms. Su, don't worry, we will never make such a mistake again."

"Yes, don't worry, we promise you."

"We will all live in peace from now on."

……

The vendors made a solemn promise to Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi finally felt relieved. "Alright! Since you've paid the money and apologized today, let's just leave it at that."

Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, the yamen runner waved his hand and let the vendors leave.

Su Zhizhi and Liu Xiaohua also left after seeing this.

After leaving the county government office, Su Zhizhi looked at Liu Xiaohua with gratitude and said, "Thank you, you helped me a lot today. I want to treat you to a meal at the restaurant. Please don't refuse me."

Liu Xiaohua was slightly stunned when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she nodded and agreed, "Okay."

In this way, the two of them came to the restaurant chatting and laughing.

After arriving at the restaurant and entering the private room, Liu Xiaohua took the opportunity to say to Su Zhizhi, "Miss Su, I came here today because I want to ask you for help with something."

Before Liu Xiaohua could even speak, Su Zhizhi had already guessed in her heart what the other party wanted her to do. She estimated that in all likelihood, he wanted her to help arrange a marriage with Xie Chengjin.

"Miss Liu, I know you want me to set up a connection with my brother, right? Unfortunately, as his younger sister, I cannot make the decision on my brother's marriage. I'm really sorry, Miss Liu." Su Zhizhi declined politely.

When Liu Xiaohua heard this, his face was filled with disappointment. "Okay!"

But she changed her mind and said, "How about this, how about I go home with you and visit your house today?"

Liu Xiaohua changed his approach.

Su Zhizhi nodded readily upon hearing this, "Of course, that's no problem."

Seeing that Su Zhizhi agreed, Liu Xiaohua was also very happy.

In this way, after having a good meal and a few drinks, the two of them left the inn and took a donkey cart to Su Zhizhi's home.

After a bumpy journey, Liu Xiaohua and Su Zhizhi finally arrived home.

Xie Chengjin was immediately excited when he heard the sound of the donkey cart. He immediately ran to the yard to greet Su Zhizhi.

Unexpectedly, it was not only Su Zhizhi who got off the donkey cart, but also Liu Xiaohua.

Xie Chengjin was surprised when he saw Liu Xiaohua coming. "Miss Liu, why are you here?"

"Hey, I have something to talk to you about! Can we talk alone?" Liu Xiaohua said to Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin looked at Liu Xiaohua with a puzzled look on his face, but after thinking it over, he finally nodded and agreed, "Okay."

In this way, the two of them came alone to the thatched hall in the yard.

"I wonder why Miss Liu asked me to come here?" Xie Chengjin looked at Liu Xiaohua with a puzzled look and asked.

"It's like this. I'm attracted to you. You can marry into our Liu family. We, the Liu family, will give you endless wealth and glory." Liu Xiaohua looked at Xie Chengjin sincerely.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengjin's face turned pale with anger after hearing Liu Xiaohua's words. He refused without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Liu. I have no intention of currying favor with the powerful."

Facing Xie Chengjin's rejection, Liu Xiaohua was not upset. Instead, she calmly persuaded Xie Chengjin, "Don't be so hasty to reject me. I'll give you time to think it over. You can also inquire about the influence of our Liu family in the surrounding area. If you agree, you can come to the Liu Mansion in the county to find me."

After saying that, Liu Xiaohua simply sat for a while before saying goodbye to Su Zhizhi and leaving the Su family.

Liu Xiaohua and Xie Chengjin did not hide their conversation from the public, so their conversation was heard clearly by Su Zhizhi who was standing next to them.

After seeing Liu Xiaohua's figure completely disappear, Su Zhizhi couldn't wait to pull Xie Chengjin and start her preaching.

"Are you stupid? You are a son-in-law in our family, and you are a son-in-law in the Liu family. We are poor and have no money, so we can't give you a good life."

"Besides, Miss Liu is beautiful and rich, why do you have to live such a hard life with us?"

Su Zhizhi said to Xie Chengjin with a look of deep sorrow.

Xie Chengjin fell silent after hearing this. He glanced at Su Zhizhi calmly and asked, "Do you really think so?"

"Of course." Su Zhizhi nodded.

Su Zhizhi felt guilty when she saw Xie Chengjin's eyes. Although she was indeed Xie Chengjin's wife in name, it was still horrifying that a wife taught her husband to "cheat" and find a "next boyfriend".

Moreover, Su Zhizhi actually wanted Xie Chengjin to marry into the Liu family. She also had her own purpose, which was that as Xie Chengjin's nominal sister, she could gain a lot of benefits from the Liu family, so that she would not have to worry about the capital problem when doing business in the future.

At this time, Xie Chengjin also saw Su Zhizhi's ill intentions. He immediately said to Su Zhizhi, "My wife, why are you like this? You are still trying to persuade me to abandon your family and marry into the Liu family? What if I really leave and no one helps you protect your brothers and sisters and mother?"

After hearing this, Su Zhizhi suddenly came to her senses, and her little thoughts were completely dispelled.

"Hey, I'm just kidding. Why would I really let you marry into my family? I was just saying it to test your thoughts."

Su Zhizhi said with a smile.

"That's fine." Xie Chengjin nodded with satisfaction.
