Seeing that Pan'er was being mischievous and didn't seem to be planning to stop, Shang Qing said to her, "Alright, Pan'er, stop talking. I think your Uncle Lao Zong is about to throw up."

Seeing that Shang Qing's attention was not on him, Gu Yu pretended to be about to vomit.

Seeing him like this, Xi'er quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to him: "Uncle Zhao, are you alright? Are you feeling very unwell?"

Shang Qing glanced at him and saw that he looked a little embarrassed, so she wanted to laugh.

As if he had just remembered something, Lao Zong suddenly changed the subject: "Oh right, I just remembered that when I went out to chop firewood this morning, I heard some of the old ladies next door talking about this."

"It's clear that Zhang Cuilan brought this on herself, and you even saved her life, yet she still turns around and spreads bad rumors about you everywhere. It's absolutely despicable!"

"Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that she's a woman, I'd be ready to settle the score with her right now! What a piece of trash! Doesn't she know her own limitations? If it weren't for you, Zhang Cuilan wouldn't have been able to survive even with two lives!"

Lao Zong felt it was unfair to Shang Qing, so he remained indignant and got more and more excited as he talked.

The other children chimed in, especially Xi'er, who kept stuffing food into her mouth. Even with her cheeks bulging, she still loudly proclaimed, "Mom, don't worry, when I grow up, I will definitely not let those who treated you badly get away with it. I will teach them a lesson!"

Shang Qing was amused by her adorable appearance. Seeing Lao Zong gritting his teeth in anger, she spoke up to comfort him, "Alright, brother, actually, I just wanted to teach Zhang Cuilan a lesson. Besides, I don't care what others think of me at all. If I did, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

Shang Qing offered some kind words of advice, and Lao Zong finally gave up.

Who did Zhang Cuilan even matter? Shang Qing didn't take her seriously at all.

The most pressing issue is how to manage the back mountain; she is determined to achieve something significant.

After much thought, she decided that the location of the back mountain was good, with fertile soil, suitable for planting trees. So she bought some fruit tree saplings from the system, planning to plant them on the mountain later, and soon she would definitely be able to make a fortune from them.

After tidying everything up, Shang Qing went up the mountain.

But when she reached the halfway point of the mountain, she saw a familiar figure standing not far away.

Before even getting closer to take a closer look, Shang Qing knew who the visitor was.

"Manager Jin, what are you doing here?"

Shang Qing was quite surprised by his appearance.

As for Manager Jin, he was quite friendly with Shang Qing, after all, his ability to make a lot of money was inseparable from his cooperation with Shang Qing.

"Shang Qing, I'm so glad to have you here. I didn't know where to go, I only knew this place, so I waited here for a long time, thinking you weren't coming!"

He still doesn't seem to have answered his question...

Shang Qing frowned slightly: "Manager Jin, how do you know about this place? Did someone tell you about it?"

Manager Jin seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic, and just kept smiling: "Oh dear, I came here today for your matter, which is a great thing."

Shang Qing remained calm and said, "Manager Jin, please speak frankly about what you need."

"Well, you know, it's not easy for you to raise three children on your own. As your business partner, I was thinking of introducing you to someone else. What do you think? That way, it will at least lighten your burden, right?"

It seems this topic isn't going to end anytime soon.

Shang Qing put the sapling aside and refused it without even thinking.

"Manager Jin, this is my personal matter, so I won't trouble you. Also, I need to ask you how you knew I was living here?"

"Hey, Shang Qing, where did you get these saplings? What kind of trees are they..." Manager Jin was still giving vague answers. "If we're talking about doing business, you're the best. Look at what you bought, even the saplings are so good."

Shang Qing was getting annoyed: "Manager Jin, I don't have time to argue with you here. If you want to continue, then you can play by yourself here."

After saying this, Shang Qing picked up the sapling and prepared to go up the mountain, but was stopped by Manager Jin.

"Shang Qing, look at your temper! This was supposed to be a good thing, but you've ruined it. I'm your friend, and of course I want you to be better off. Why are you acting like I'm trying to harm you?"

Shang Qing's face was cold as he said, word by word, "If Manager Jin really thinks that way, then I don't think we need to cooperate anymore. Why don't you find someone else? I'll just do this business on my own from now on."

Manager Jin was, after all, a businessman who knew how to seek profit and avoid harm. Naturally, he was unhappy when he heard Shang Qing say that.

Seeing that Shang Qing's expression was not good, he quickly told the truth: "It was a man named Liu Bazi who told me."

It's Liu the Scarface again. What are his true intentions?

Shang Qing's expression softened somewhat: "Manager Jin, you should listen to him less in the future."

As Shang Qing walked away, talking all the way, Manager Jin silently followed beside her: "Shang Qing, I happened to have nothing to do today, so I thought I'd come and see you. I also brought you some things; I'll take them home for you later."

Shang Qing understood the unspoken meaning in Manager Jin's words and immediately chuckled, "Manager Jin is a businessman, busy all day long trying to make big money. How could he have time to come see me? I know what Manager Jin is thinking, but please give up that idea."

On this matter of principle, Shang Qing stated that he would not back down an inch.

"I knew you were smart. Actually, I came here to see how you usually brew wine..." Manager Jin chuckled, then added, "I'm really curious how a woman like you can manage all of this so smoothly."

Shang Qing isn't stupid. If Manager Jin found out, she wouldn't be in a dominant position in their cooperation anymore, so she wouldn't allow that to happen.

So she shook her head repeatedly, giving Manager Jin no room to maneuver.

Manager Jin was repeatedly humiliated, and his face naturally fell. After all, he was the head of Juxianglou.

Shang Qing noticed something amiss and immediately stopped, saying mysteriously, "Manager Jin, I've also buried some good stuff on this mountain. The red wine is already quite mellow, and burying it in the ground for natural fermentation will only make it taste even better. Would you like to try some?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Jin's eyes lit up: "That couldn't be better! Just hearing you say that makes me think it's excellent!"
