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

Cuihua chatted with Lianhua inside for a while longer before leaving the room, closing the door, and suddenly spitting on the ground.

“We’re about the same age and have similar family backgrounds. Why do you get to live such a good life? This pregnancy is going to be a life-or-death situation for you. Don’t blame me for being heartless. In today’s society, everyone lives for themselves.”

Just then, Wang Guihua was tidying up some dirty clothes inside the house, preparing to go to the yard to wash them, when she saw Cuihua at the lotus door muttering something. So she spoke up:

"Cuihua, is your foot injury all healed? Why aren't you back in bed?"

Cuihua smiled and shook her head.

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My foot injury is almost healed. I'll be fully recovered after a few more days of rest. I'm really sorry to have troubled you. I just heard that my sister is pregnant, so I thought I'd go and keep her company. She said she was hungry and wanted to eat something, so I thought I'd go to the kitchen and make her something nice to eat."

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua hurriedly put down the clothes she was holding.

"That won't do. I'll do it. Your injury hasn't healed yet, how can I let you do any work?"

Cuihua quickly tugged at Wang Guihua's arm and shook her head.

“Auntie, please let me do something. If you ask me to do nothing, I won’t feel at ease. Besides, even though I’m injured, it’s good for me to move around more. I can’t just lie on the kang all the time, I can’t stand it. I’m very happy to be able to do something for my cousin.”

After saying that, Cuihua didn't wait for Wang Guihua to speak and turned to go to the kitchen to get busy.

Wang Guihua nodded as she watched Cuihua's retreating figure, then picked up the clothes from the ground.

"This girl is a hardworking and good girl."

Su Banxia and her group had already arrived at the market. As soon as they set up their stall, people eagerly lined up to buy fried dough sticks and other snacks.

"Oh dear, my child has been making a huge fuss since you haven't come to set up your stall these past two days. He keeps forcing me to come and buy him mochi, fried dough sticks, and those sesame dumplings. He's driving me crazy at home."

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyan quickly greeted him with a smile:

"Please wait a moment, the pot isn't hot yet. Once the oil is hot, I'll fry it for you right away."

Su Banxia set up a pan for frying dorayaki, lit a fire, and told Tie Niu and Gou Sheng to hurry up and sell the candied hawthorns and come back to help.

Only then were the bamboo tube rice dumplings displayed, and Su Hanzhang was put in charge of selling candied hawthorns and bamboo tube rice dumplings.

Su Banxia greeted the crowd:

"We have some new snacks today. These bamboo tube rice dumplings and dorayaki are delicious. If you haven't tried them before, you can come and give them a try."

"What's a dorayaki? Make one for us to see!"

"Yes, what's a bamboo tube rice dumpling? I've never had one before!"

Su Banxia said with a smile:

"Don't rush, I'll make a dorayaki for you to see right now. You can try it and buy it if you like it."

While giving instructions, Su Banxia also started making dorayaki quickly, while Su Shiyan finished heating up his pot and began frying dough sticks and sesame balls.

Just as everyone was busy, Lou Wangyue arrived to help. Su Banxia was already sweating from the work, and when she saw Lou Wangyue, she felt like she had found a savior. Without being polite to Lou Wangyue, Su Banxia directly assigned him to help pack the food for the guests.

Su Banxia was only thinking that she couldn't make so many candied hawthorns tomorrow. She decided to let Gousheng go out and sell them on the streets, while Tie Niu would have to stay and help at the stall.

Once Cuihua recovers, we must hurry and bring her to the market to help out; we can't let her stay at home idly eating for free.

Su Banxia was making dorayaki when she heard a familiar voice from the crowd.

"Brother Zhang Guang, I think the food sold here looks pretty good, can you buy some for me to try?"

Su Banxia looked up and saw Liu Qing'er holding Zhang Guang's arm, speaking to him in a coquettish manner.

Zhang Guang nodded happily.

"Okay, okay, you can eat whatever you want today. Consider it my way of apologizing to you, alright?"

"Hmph, that's more like it. I thought you'd gotten married and forgotten about your junior sister!"

Seeing the two of them being so lovey-dovey, Su Banxia frowned. The thought of Su Tao being pregnant and resting at the Su family home made her feel that Su Tao was truly not worth it.

Zhang Guang's eyes were practically glued to Liu Qing'er. Without even checking who was selling things, he took out some silver, walked up to Su Banxia, ​​and asked:

How much is this pancake?

Su Banxia sneered.

"Zhang Guang, you're quite something, leaving your wife at her parents' house to have your baby while you're keeping another one on the side."

Zhang Guang looked up and met Su Banxia's disgusted eyes. He was so frightened that his hands trembled. He quickly pulled his arm out of Liu Qing'er's arms, straightened his clothes, and said awkwardly:

"Um, please don't misunderstand. I don't have any ulterior motives. Qing'er and I have no other relationship. I just treat her as my sister."

Seeing this, Liu Qing'er, standing behind her, pouted unhappily and said:

“Zhang Guang, why are you arguing with an outsider like her? Besides, what kind of relationship do we have? Do we need to tell her? Who does she think she is? She's just a stinking street vendor.”

Lou Wangyue, who was helping with the packing, frowned upon hearing Liu Qing'er's words. She turned to look at Liu Qing'er and said coldly:

"Are you from Muxiangzhai?"

Liu Qing'er turned her head and stared at Lou Wangyue's stunningly beautiful face, her eyes widening in disbelief. She blushed and nodded, saying:

“Yes, Muxiangzhai is our family’s shop. What future can you have by setting up a stall with Su Banxia? Why don’t you come work as a shop assistant in our shop? I’ll have my dad teach you some skills, and I can also take care of you.”

Seeing the way Liu Qing'er looked at Lou Wangyue, Zhang Guang, who was standing to the side, immediately spoke up in displeasure:

"Master Qing'er stopped taking on apprentices a long time ago. He doesn't know anything. What can he do at Muxiangzhai?"

Liu Qing'er turned around and glared at Zhang Guang unhappily.

“When did my father say he wouldn’t take on apprentices? Besides, Muxiangzhai is already overwhelmed with orders, so we definitely need to find a few more suitable people to work as shop assistants.”

Zhang Guang frowned and stopped talking.

Liu Qing'er turned around and glared at Su Banxia.

"Su Banxia, ​​you know you're not going to amount to anything by setting up a stall here, so why are you blocking people from leaving?"

Su Banxia almost burst out laughing when she heard Liu Qing'er's words. It seemed that Liu Qing'er didn't know Lou Wangyue's identity.

So Su Banxia followed Liu Qing'er's words and asked:

"If you let him come back to Muxiangzhai with you, what kind of work can you arrange for him?"
