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

When Su Banxia and Wei Kezhi arrived at the market, they happened to see a woman carrying a basket of chicks hurrying out.

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"Auntie, where did you buy these chicks?"

The old woman looked up and sized up Su Banxia, ​​then handed the chicks from the basket to Su Banxia.

"Young lady, are you looking to buy chicks? Look at these chicks I've hatched myself. I can't keep enough at home right now, so I thought I'd sell some."

As she spoke, the old woman grabbed a chick from the basket and handed it to Su Banxia.

"Look at these, they're all so plump and healthy. Don't worry, I've taken good care of them and given them a good foundation. You can easily raise them back home and they'll thrive!"

Su Banxia looked at the chick in her hand. It did look quite plump and full of energy, with its big, round eyes looking around.

Seeing that Su Banxia hadn't spoken, the old woman anxiously said:

"To tell you the truth, my neighbor sent word that my son fell from a tree today and hurt his leg, so I rushed home in a hurry. If you think it's worth it, please buy all the chicks in my basket!"

The old woman was about to hand the basket in her hand to Su Banxia when she spoke.

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly put the chick back in her hand and waved her hand, saying:

"Auntie, I know you're anxious, but I need to check these chicks before I can buy them. How many chicks do you have here?"

The old woman put the basket she was carrying on the ground, hastily wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and said anxiously:

“Young lady, my son is waiting for me at home. I don’t have time to stay here with you to inspect the goods. I’m an honest woman. To be honest, there are only 22 chicks in here, all of which were hatched by myself. I’m in a hurry to sell them, so I won’t ask for more than one tael of silver. Just give me one tael of silver.”

Su Banxia thought the price was indeed reasonable, and was just about to squat down to check the chicks in the basket when she heard the old woman say anxiously:

"Girl, are you going to buy it or not? This is a matter of life and death, I don't have time to waste here with you. If you don't buy it, I'll take it away. I've already sold it to you cheaply for one tael of silver, and you're still not satisfied. The same kind of chicks as mine inside cost eighty coins each. If you buy so many, it won't be less than two taels of silver!"

As she spoke, the old woman picked up the basket on the ground and made as if she was about to run outside.

Seeing this, Su Banxia quickly reached out to stop the old woman and said helplessly:

"Alright, I won't look anymore. Let's just go with the one tael of silver you said."

After saying that, Su Banxia took out a tael of silver from her purse and handed it to the old woman. The old woman weighed it in her hand, without even using a small scale, and directly stuffed the basket in her hand into Su Banxia's hand before turning around and running away.

As Su Banxia watched the old woman's retreating figure, she felt that something was amiss. When she lifted the tattered cloth covering the chicks for a closer look, she discovered that while there were indeed 22 chicks in the basket, half of them were listless and drooping.

Su Banxia handed the chicks from the basket to Wei Kezhi, saying unhappily:

"Look, you've been tricked! Why didn't you stop me earlier!"

Wei Kezhi glanced helplessly at Su Banxia and said aggrievedly:

"Then I'll go and find that person from earlier."

Su Banxia glanced in the direction the old woman had left, and sighed.

"They've long since disappeared. Where are you going to look for them? Forget it, I'm not in the mood to shop anymore. Let's go home!"

Having said that, he picked up the basket and walked outside. He hadn't gone far when he heard someone shout:

"Miss Su, she's here! She's here!"

Su Banxia looked up and saw it was the team leader who had accompanied her to Dwarf Mountain to deliver furniture that day. She quickly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile:

"I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip again today."

The team leader scratched his head and laughed:

"Miss Su, please don't worry about it. We're just doing our jobs for money. We'll do whatever our boss says. Hurry up and get in the car. Let's see if everything is in order."

Su Banxia and Wei Kezhi got into the car and checked everything to make sure all the items were there before nodding and saying:

"Master, let's go to the same place as last time. If you don't remember the way, you can ask me anytime."

The team leader nodded and then pulled Su Banxia toward the city gate.

When they reached the city gate, Su Banxia saw that Uncle Niu's cart was already full of people and he was still waiting for her. She quickly called out to Uncle Niu:

"Uncle Niu, let's ride in this oxcart and go back together."

Seeing that Tie Niu wasn't in the car, Su Banxia casually asked:

"Has Tie Niu found work in the city?"

Uncle Niu nodded happily.

"That's right! Thanks to you, my Tie Niu found a job as a waiter at Lianxiang Restaurant. In the past, we would never have dared to dream of working at Lianxiang Restaurant!"

Su Banxia smiled.

"That's because Tie Niu is lucky. Keep up the good work."

Uncle Niu nodded gratefully to Su Banxia. The villagers sitting in the car were all surprised to hear that Tie Niu had gone to work at Lianxianglou.

"How could that burly man, Tie Niu, work as a waiter?"

"That's right. How did your Tie Niu get into Lianxianglou? Tell us, Uncle Niu."

Uncle Niu chuckled a few times upon hearing this.

“We didn’t dare to hope for such a job. Today, Tie Niu wanted to go to the dock to find some odd jobs carrying goods, but Ban Xia said that Tie Niu’s leg had just recovered and he absolutely could not do heavy work.”

As he spoke, Uncle Niu tilted his head back proudly and said:

"Our Tie Niu listened to Ban Xia's advice and mustered up the courage to go to Lian Xiang Lou to ask the manager if they needed any waiters. It was just a coincidence that Lian Xiang Lou had just lost a waiter and was short-staffed. The manager saw that our Tie Niu was an honest and simple man, so he kept him on."

Everyone's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"I never expected that Tie Niu would be so lucky."

"That's right. Working at Lianxianglou, you're sure to be well taken care of in terms of food and lodging."

"That's right, the work in those restaurants is easy, they serve rich people!"

Uncle Niu was delighted to hear the chatter of the crowd, and his gratitude towards Su Banxia deepened even further.

Whether it was Tie Niu's broken leg or Su Banxia's advice to find him an easier job, Uncle Niu remembered it all and would always remember this kindness.

The oxcart that Su Banxia rode drove directly to the courtyard on Dwarf Mountain. Su Shiyan and Erzhuzi had just finished repairing the chicken coop, and when they saw Su Banxia and the others return, they rushed over to help move things.

Su Banxia was deeply moved to see Erzhuzi come to help again today. She knew it hadn't been easy for Erzhuzi to survive these past few years, and through their interactions, Su Banxia had come to believe that Erzhuzi was an honest and kind person.

Su Banxia had also made up her mind. If she were to set up her own stall and start a business, she could also give Erzhuzi a helping hand.

I dare not say much, but at least it will allow him to earn some money to repair the leaky old house, so that he won't have to worry about food and clothing. In the future, he can save money to find a wife and live a good life.
