I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Su Banxia, ​​accompanied by Wei Kezhi, inquired and compared prices at each shop before finally purchasing forty catties of cotton and ten bolts of coarse cloth from one shop.

Seeing that she had too much stuff to carry, Su Banxia temporarily stored it at the shop, planning to hire an oxcart to transport it. If she went into town, she could then secretly store everything in her spatial storage when no one was looking.

But now that Wei Kezhi has come with me, I certainly can't do that. Hiring an oxcart wouldn't cost much money, after all.

Su Banxia was thinking that if she brought the things back, she would have a legitimate reason to use them, so that people wouldn't suspect where she had conjured them up from.

Afterwards, the two bought some pots, pans, and odds and ends. Passing a steamed bun shop, Su Banxia bought six buns, eating two herself and giving four to Wei Kezhi.

She knew that Wei Kezhi always went down the mountain so early without eating, and was probably starving by now. Seeing Wei Kezhi eating so heartily, Su Banxia smiled and said:

"Once I'm done with things at home, I'm planning to come to the city and start a small business, selling food. What do you think?"

Wei Kezhi nodded as he ate his steamed bun:

"It'll definitely work! Everything you make tastes delicious, and someone will definitely buy it!"

Su Banxia smiled and took a bite of her steamed bun, but before she could swallow, she heard a gentle voice behind her.

"Is that Miss Banxia standing in front?"

Lou Wangyue had barely finished speaking when she quickly walked up to Su Banxia.

Wei Kezhi, who was still engrossed in eating her steamed bun, immediately turned her face to Lou Wangyue upon seeing this. She thought to herself, "Why do I keep seeing this person every time I go to the city lately? It's really bad luck." With that thought, Wei Kezhi angrily took a bite of the steamed bun in her hand.

When Su Banxia saw that it was Lou Wangyue, she quickly smiled and said:

"It's Young Master Lou! What a coincidence, I keep running into you lately."

Lou Wangyue ignored Wei Kezhi, who was standing next to Su Banxia and giving her a hard time, and simply looked at Su Banxia and said softly:

"This must be fate."

Upon hearing this, Wei Kezhi nearly choked on her steamed bun.

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly reached out to pat Wei Kezhi's back and asked with concern:

"Did you choke? Are you feeling better?"

Seeing this, Wei Kezhi deliberately coughed for a while before finally nodding quietly.

"I feel much better, Banxia, ​​thank you."

After saying that, Wei Kezhi turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Lou Wangyue. Lou Wangyue only glanced at him briefly before looking away, seemingly not taking him seriously at all. This contempt infuriated Wei Kezhi.

Seeing that Wei Kezhi was better, Su Banxia turned to Lou Wangyue and explained:

"I came here today to buy some things for my home. I just bought some, and I'm going to go to the market to see if they have any chicks for sale today. I want to buy a few to raise at home."

Lou Wangyue nodded and smiled:

"By the way, you went to town to shop today, you must have bought quite a lot of things, so why don't I arrange for an oxcart to take you back?"

"Ok!"

"no need!"

Su Banxia and Wei Kezhi spoke at the same time, causing Lou Wangyue to pause for a moment. Su Banxia turned and glared at Wei Kezhi, signaling him to be quiet, before smiling at Lou Wangyue.

“Young Master Lou, please don’t worry about Wei Kezhi. I’m currently worried about where to find an oxcart. I’ve bought far too much stuff, and the oxcart in our village is also used for carrying people, so it can’t carry all my things.”

As she spoke, Su Banxia rubbed her hands together.

"Don't worry, this time I only need one car. It won't be a waste of money. I'll pay you. I can't let you suffer every time."

Lou Wangyue smiled and waved her hand.

“It’s just an oxcart, how am I at a disadvantage? I’m willing to help with anything that’s on Miss Banxia’s behalf.”

Seeing the sincerity in Wei Kezhi's words, Su Banxia smiled and said:

"I'm really sorry, but I'd like to trouble you, Young Master Lou, to have your oxcart go to the cotton shop at the west end of the city to load my cotton and cloth, and then to the general store across the street to load the pots, pans, and other items I bought. Then wait for me at the market entrance, okay?"

Lou Wangyue nodded to Su Banxia.

"Okay, do you need me to go with you to buy chicks?"

Su Banxia hurriedly waved her hand and said:

"No need for that. The market is dirty and messy over there. We don't want to get your clothes dirty or waste your time. We'd like to get there as soon as possible so we can pick out a few more healthy and lively chicks. We'll be going now. We'll leave the oxcart to you, Mr. Lou."

Before Lou Wangyue could reply, he grabbed Wei Kezhi and hurriedly left.

Lou Wangyue watched the two figures disappear into the distance and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, you're always so rushed. We finally bump into each other, and you don't even sit down and have a cup of tea with me..."

The servant standing nearby frowned upon seeing this and said:

"Young master, you can have any girl you want, so why do you fall for this girl from a peasant family? You even arrange for someone to keep an eye on her at the city gate every time you hear that Miss Su has entered the city. You drop everything to see her as soon as you hear that she has entered the city, but she is indifferent to you."

As he spoke, the servant pouted unhappily and said:

"I've noticed that Miss Su is inseparable from that Young Master Wei all day long, and they seem quite close!"

Upon hearing this, Lou Wangyue turned around and glared at her servant.

“Jixiang, stop gossiping about Miss Banxia. She is different from other women. She has already said that Young Master Wei is just her little brother and not worth mentioning.”

After saying that, Lou Wangyue flicked her sleeves and left first.

Jixiang watched her master's retreating figure and shook her head helplessly.

"It's nothing to mention. I'm too embarrassed to express my feelings. I've done so much for Miss Su, but she's still indifferent to me. I hope it won't all come to nothing in the end!"

Lou Wangyue walked for a while, then turned around and saw Jixiang still standing there, muttering something to herself. She said unhappily:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry back to the shop and arrange a suitable oxcart to help Miss Banxia move her things!"

Upon hearing this, Jixiang had no choice but to hurry after him, repeatedly replying:

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take care of it right away. You've done so many good deeds, I wonder if Miss Su's family will invite you to their housewarming party!"

After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

Lou Wangyue was about to reach out and hit Jixiang when she looked up and saw that he had already run far away. Helplessly, she withdrew her hand and muttered to herself as she watched Jixiang's retreating figure:

“If Banxia doesn’t invite me, I’ll just bring the things and go to her housewarming party myself. Besides, I already know where she lives, so if I go, I can meet her family as soon as possible…”
