The broker held up three fingers and demanded an exorbitant price: "Three hundred taels."

Tang Yue's face darkened for a moment, but she couldn't help but applaud this older brother. He really underestimated her because of her age and offered such a high price.

"Do you think I look like a fool?"

The man with the dagger clearly had a hint of certainty in his eyes; otherwise, what family would bring their child along when buying a house?

Tang Yue was so angry that her forehead veins throbbed. "100 taels, take it or leave it?"

If she doesn't want to sell, she should go find someone else. Even if she doesn't know the housing prices, this price shouldn't be this outrageous. Ten taels of silver is a family's food for a year, and this guy actually wants so much money from her.

“Alright, one hundred taels it is. Let’s go transfer the property now, let’s go,” the broker set the price right away, the smile on his lips was so wide that even AK couldn’t hide it.

Tang Yue could tell from the broker's expression that she had lost out; damn it, she had lost big time.

Puzzled, she followed the broker to complete the transfer, paid one hundred taels, and then went to the slave market to buy two servants who were literate and had some skills, one named Da Niu and the other named Zhu Zi.

She led the people to her newly purchased shop and instructed them, "Da Niu, Zhu Zi, you two stay here for now. Take this money and use it to buy some clothes and bedding. When you have time, clean this place for me. I'll come back to find you tomorrow."

"Okay, miss."

"No, no, no, don't call me Miss, just call me Tang Yue," she said, afraid that if they got too familiar with her, she would give herself away.

After settling Da Niu and Zhu Zi in, she bought some pastries before going home.

On the way, they ran into Da Zhuang and a few other kids who followed them all the way to bully Jun Lingmo.

Tang Yue looked at the few kids around her. They had at least spent half a year with the original owner, so she would give their parents a free "motivation."

So she said in a soft, sweet voice, "Big Brother Dazhuang, you're already seven years old, and you're still hitting people every day."

"Are all the children from good families attending school now?"

"I heard my mother say that only smart people can go to school. What are you guys doing here? Are you too stupid? The school won't accept you, will it?"

When Dazhuang heard Tang Yue call him stupid, he couldn't help but retort, "I'm not stupid, I just don't want to go!"

"Oh, is that so?"

"But our little Lingmo will be going to school next year. Won't you all be unable to keep up with our little Lingmo then?"

"Then the three of you will be known as the Three Stupid Fools from now on, hahaha."

Tang Yue's words and laughter were extremely damaging. Da Zhuang almost cried when he heard that he would become inferior to Jun Lingmo. "I'm not stupid. I'll go to school tomorrow. Humph, he'll be my defeated opponent from now on."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away, begging his parents to take him to school. His two little followers followed him and ran away as well.

Tang Yue guessed that the provocation tactic had worked.

Sure enough, kids will be kids; they have a strong competitive spirit, and a little reverse psychology was enough to get rid of them.

As for what happened next, she didn't know, nor did she expect that her unintentional act would create a bookworm.

After Tang Yue returned home, she spent a long time drawing design sketches for her shop and several modern kitchen utensils before she finally stopped.

He stretched and then went to find Tang Ruhua.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner?"

Tang Ruhua looked at Tang Yue, who hadn't been seen all day, pulled her into her arms, and poked her head, saying, "You little rascal, all you ever do is eat."

"Oh, Mother, I'm still too young. I need to eat more to grow," Tang Yue said, looking at Tang Ruhua. She wanted to ask, "Do you remember your daughter who ate four chicken legs in one meal? She's eating very little now."

She had been very disciplined in order to have a slim figure, and fortunately, after a month of hard work, she successfully rose to the rank of New Year picture doll.

"You greedy girl, I stewed chicken and made sweet and sour pork today. Go and call Xiao Mo over to eat together. His father is always busy and never around. The child is so thin, it's heartbreaking."

"Okay, Mom, you're so good, I love you to death," Tang Yue said sweetly, looking at Tang Ruhua who was radiating maternal love.

Perfect timing! She was planning to give a gift to the little villain anyway; he'd be so happy to see it.

She was so eager to see Jun Lingmo happy that she ran to the next room before it was even time to eat.

Ling Yi hadn't returned yet, so she disregarded all formalities and leaped over into Jun Lingmo's house.

I saw Jun Lingmo playing happily with Da Huang.

She quietly walked behind Jun Lingmo, covered his eyes with her hands, and whispered, "Jun Lingmo, come and guess who I am. There's a gift if you guess right!"

Jun Lingmo touched Tang Yue's hand and thought to himself, "Sister Yue is so childish."

He chimed in cooperatively, "Could it be some kind of little monster?"

"still……"

"What?" Tang Yue asked impatiently.

"Still a childish girl, Yue."

Tang Yue wasn't angry. She took her hand down and hopped over to Jun Lingmo. "Little Lingmo is so smart! Come and see what gift your sister brought you!"

Jun Lingmo dropped the big yellow dog she was holding and pounced into Tang Yue's arms. "Sister Yue, you didn't come to play with me this morning."

Tang Yue playfully pinched Jun Lingmo's nose and said in an exaggerated tone, "Oh dear, our little Lingmo has been wronged. It's all my fault. That's why I brought you a gift. Come inside with me and let's see, okay?"

"Okay, then I'll forgive Sister Yue, but this is the last time," Jun Lingmo said proudly, tilting her head back.

"Well then, thank you very much for not blaming me, Xiao Lingmo."

Tang Yue brought Jun Lingmo back to the house, took out a box of colored contact lenses from her spatial storage, and happily showed them to Jun Lingmo.

Jun Lingmo looked at the strange box in Tang Yue's hand and asked curiously, "Sister Yue, what is this?"

Tang Yue sat opposite Jun Lingmo and introduced it to him, "This is called colored contact lenses. It's something you wear on your eyes that makes them prettier. Our little Lingmo's eyes are red, but if he wears these, they'll become the same color as your sister Yue. I'm giving these to little Lingmo. Does little Lingmo like them?"

Upon hearing that it could make his eyes look like a normal person's, Jun Lingmo excitedly jumped off the stool and exclaimed in shock, "Wow, really? Sister Yue, will my eyes never be red again after wearing it?"

Tang Yue didn't want to lie to Jun Lingmo, so she told him the truth, "Little Lingmo, this has an expiration date, and wearing it for too long is bad for your eyes. So, we take it off when we're at home and put it back on when we go out, understand?"
