Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Fu Man Lou is the largest restaurant in the area.

The bustling restaurant was filled with customers coming and going. When the waiter found out her identity, he respectfully led her to the third floor.

As Zhongtian climbed the steps, he saw Song Jinshu flirting with a young woman. The woman was playing with Song Jinshu's hand and smiling gently.

Nakata's footsteps became heavier as he went upstairs.

Song Jinshu reacted first, quickly pulled her hand away, walked over to Zhong Tian, ​​and greeted him with a smile.

"Madam Xia, this is Zhongxia. Madam Zhong, this is Miss Xia, Xia Fang."

Xia Fang?!

Upon hearing this name, Nakata's gaze lingered for a couple more seconds.

This is a young woman with slightly curly hair. She is a little plump, but not unattractive. On the contrary, she is round and plump, and you can see her beautiful features.

This is the home of a wealthy young woman, and also the woman Ding Yucheng cheated on with, who cuckolded Zhong Tian.

Xia Fang was also observing and assessing her.

This is normal, but Nakata felt very uncomfortable, which made his eyebrows furrow involuntarily.

Xia Fang noticed this and, after inviting Zhong Tian to sit down, went straight to the point without further ado: "I heard you can help me resolve that ship full of glass?"

"I can't guarantee it... but I guarantee I can sell half of them!"

Xia Fang was not disappointed; being able to solve half of the problem was enough to ease her immediate crisis.

Others may not know, but Xia Fang knows her family's situation. She is the daughter of the second wife. Although the second wife only has one daughter, she is just an illegitimate daughter. Her father is just a lowly servant and is bullied by the first wife every day.

She went to Jiangnan with a do-or-die attitude and brought in a boatload of glass, only to find that the locals didn't know what it was. It was also extremely fragile, so sales were consistently poor. She's been so worried these past few days that she hasn't been able to sleep.

She heard from Song Jinshu that Zhongtian had sold 100 jars of wine in just two days, and she might be able to find a way to get this ship full of glass.

"I can help you sell them, but I want half a string of cash for every item sold!"

"Half a skewer!" Xia Fang's smile vanished completely: "Your appetite is far too big."

"No, this request is reasonable. This thing is just a piece of trash in your hands, but it will become money in mine."

Xia Fang suddenly stood up, slammed her hand on the table, and spilled the wine on the table onto Zhong Tian's clothes, soaking a large area.

Song Jinshu stood up and went over to comfort Xia Fang.

Zhongtian also kindly advised, "Madam Xia, don't get angry. Getting angry will harm your health."

"People shouldn't be too greedy!"

Zhongtian looked at the wine stains on his clothes with some distress and said, "Madam Xia, the cost price of your glass should not be high, right? I only need half a string of cash. If you sell them all, you will still make a profit."

"Your goods are sitting at the dock, and you have to pay your older sister every day. That's a considerable sum of money."

Why don't you give it a try?

As Zhongtian slowly uttered his words, Xia Fang's anger gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of sarcasm and mockery.

"Madam Zhong, Ding Yucheng will probably regret divorcing you!"

Zhongtian couldn't continue speaking. Xia Fang had known who she was all along.

Xia Fang seemed to be enraged by Zhong Tian's outrageous demands: "I investigated you before I came. You are an alcoholic, a gambler, and a domestic abuser. You are a complete scoundrel."

“You’ve changed overnight. You’re here spouting nonsense and making outrageous demands, but who knows if you’re not just lying?”

Zhongtian wondered if Xia Fang looked at her like she was a clown, desperately trying to close the deal, and in her eyes, she was just a lousy jerk.

I was the fool!

Suddenly, Nakata realized something was wrong! She had almost fallen into a trap.

Xia Fang's crisis is real; she has no time to waste on Zhong Tian.

Her reaction was simply because she had taken what Nakata said to heart and wanted to lower the price by suppressing Nakata. After she understood this, Nakata felt relieved.

After taking a bite of the food on the table, I found it delicious. It was bitterly cold on the mountain, and Xia Jin'an refused to come down. However, I could pack the things and bring them to Xia Jin'an.

"Are you done cursing? If you are, I'll leave so as not to offend your eyes?"

"……you……"

"You can sell your own things." She smiled apologetically at Song Jinshu. "I'm the kind of person who can't handle being provoked. If someone provokes me, I won't fight back; instead, I'll just give up and do nothing..."

Ignoring the somewhat surprised expressions on their faces, Zhongtian said to the waiter serving him, "Make me a new set of these dishes, pack them up, and deliver them here."

The food items that Nakata selected are all easy to pack.

The waiter said with difficulty, "Madam, our restaurant does not offer delivery service."

"It's alright, just go to this address and find her. She will deliver it. I'll cover the delivery fee."

"…it is good."

After paying for the meal, Zhong Tian left without exchanging a single word with Xia Fang, and even ignored Song Jinshu's attempts to persuade him to stay.

Willows sway gently, rain and snow fall softly.

Nakata strolled slowly along the riverbank. It wasn't dark yet, but lanterns lit up the riverbank, from which soft, sweet voices could be heard. The bright lights at night would only make this place a haven of gentle pleasures and a graveyard for the wealthy.

With modern efforts to crack down on prostitution, Nakata found the scene quite novel.

"If you're interested, may I invite you?"

Nakata chuckled, finding it amusing. "My ex-husband is going to invite me to a brothel. How interesting."

The person speaking next was Ding Yucheng. He was wearing a veil, and a gentle breeze blew through it, revealing only his smooth chin.

But his voice didn't change, and Nakata could clearly hear his voice.

He no longer wore shabby clothes; his clothes were luxurious, making him appear more refined even just standing there.

He looked at the pleasure boat and heard the soft, sweet voices, so his tone became somewhat heavy: "On this riverbank, how many men have shed blood and tears? Many were sold by their wives. If I don't save myself, I will be one of them. You're drinking and having fun, and you might just call me out."

His tone was both accusatory and explanatory.

Nakata didn't know what to say, so he could only awkwardly reply, "I will return your dowry to you, but it's not the end of the month yet..."

"You know that's not why I came here..."

Of course, Nakata knew why he had come.

While he was talking to Xia Fang, Ding Yucheng was hiding behind her. He saw a corner of her clothes and realized that she and Xia Fang had a falling out, so Ding Yucheng chased after them.

"Zhongtian, my appearance shows that Xia Fang has shown weakness. Don't be too arrogant!"

Zhong Tian chuckled: "Arrogance, who says it's not a tactic?"
