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

Liu Qing'er tilted her head back,

“Although he doesn’t know how to do carpentry yet, he’s good-looking. It would be good for him to work as a helper and greet customers. It’s better than him having to set up a stall here in the wind and sun.”

Upon hearing this, Lou Wangyue frowned and said in a deep voice:

“I remember your Muxiangzhai brought in a batch of high-quality rosewood. Go back and tell your father that the ship had an accident and the timber can’t be delivered.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing'er's expression immediately changed.

"What! That rosewood was ordered by the Li family! How could the ship have an accident? If the rosewood can't be delivered, won't we be unable to make the furniture we promised?"

Lou Wangyue snorted coldly.

“When a boat travels on the river, something is bound to happen. The boat owner will compensate you for the cost of the redwood, but you'll have to figure out the rest yourselves.”

Zhang Guang, standing to the side, was also getting anxious.

"How did you know that the ship had an accident? And how did you know that our Muxiangzhai had ordered a batch of top-quality rosewood?"

Lou Wangyue lowered her head and continued working, ignoring them. She couldn't be bothered to say another word to such fools.

Seeing this, Su Banxia naturally knew that Lou Wangyue was standing up for her, but since they had confiscated someone else's rosewood, they would definitely have to compensate for it. Wouldn't the price of venting her anger be too high?

Su Banxia glanced at Lou Wangyue hesitantly, but seeing that Lou Wangyue smiled at her, she didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Liu Qing'er also felt that something was wrong and that she should hurry back and talk to her father about it.

He glared at Su Banxia.

"Hurry up and make me a dorayaki to try, I'm in a hurry to leave!"

Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"Since you look down on us street vendors, why bother eating our food? Sorry, we're not selling!"

Hearing this, Liu Qing'er stomped her feet in anger and grabbed Zhang Guang's arm, pleading:

"Brother Zhang Guang, look at her attitude! She's your wife's cousin, isn't she? Can't you say something to her? How can she do business like this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guang was about to speak to persuade Su Banxia when Su Banxia coldly replied:

“Zhang Guang, I don’t know whether to call you stupid or dumb. Liu Qing’er knows perfectly well that I sell things here, yet she deliberately led you to come and buy things from me. She was subtly mocking me for being a loser by running a stall. Don’t you think about what Su Tao would think if I went back and told her that she was at home working hard to prepare for childbirth while you were out there flirting with this slut and even buying her food?”

Upon hearing Su Banxia's words, Zhang Guang's expression immediately changed, and he turned to look at Liu Qing'er.

"You knew all along that this was Su Banxia's stall?"

Liu Qing'er felt a little guilty after hearing this, and tugged at Zhang Guang's arm, pleading:

"Brother Zhang Guang, I really didn't mean it! Don't you believe me? I'm usually fine, just a bit greedy. I smelled the aroma and came over, didn't I? Who would have thought she'd make these kinds of foods!"

As she spoke, Liu Qing'er suddenly remembered something, glared at Su Banxia, ​​and angrily shouted:

"What did you call me just now? What kind of business is this? Picking and choosing customers and refusing to do business with them! You even dared to talk nonsense to me just now. I won't let you do this business today!"

Su Banxia snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"If you're deaf at such a young age, then I'll be kind enough to say it again: I'm saying you're a slut, a big slut, and I don't sell my food to sluts, understand?"

Liu Qing'er's face flushed red with anger. She stomped her feet repeatedly, grabbed Zhang Guang's finger, and pointed at Su Banxia, ​​saying:

"Zhang Guang, look at her! She's bullying me like this, and you don't even stand up for me! You should overturn her stall!"

Su Banxia stared intently at Zhang Guang and said:

"Are you trying to get revenge for this slut? Or do you want your wife to know you're having affairs outside?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guang thought of Su Tao's pregnancy and how she couldn't withstand any more stress, so he quickly shook his head and said with a smile:

"Su Banxia, ​​don't be angry. You absolutely mustn't tell Su Tao about this. Su Tao is pregnant now, and she definitely can't afford to be upset. I beg you, please don't tell her! We'll leave right away, we won't delay your business! There's really nothing between Liu Qing'er and me."

Seeing this, Liu Qing'er sulked and tried to pull Zhang Guang's arm, but Zhang Guang immediately shook off her hand and glared at her.

"What time is it? Stop acting like a child. We need to hurry back to the shop and tell Master about the rosewood. That way, Master can make a decision sooner. Can't you tell what's important? Let's go!"

After saying that, Zhang Guang grabbed Liu Qing'er's arm and ran out of the crowd.

After the two left, Su Banxia turned to look at Lou Wangyue.

"Thank you for standing up for me earlier, but if you let them keep this rosewood, wouldn't you have to pay them a sum of money?"

Lou Wangyue smiled.

“This amount of money is nothing. Since they've made you unhappy, I can't let them be happy either. Consider this redwood as something I bought; I can use it in the future. However, if they lose this deal, Muxiangzhai's reputation in Fuping County will plummet. Who knows, I might even open my own carpentry shop and place a deal with Muxiangzhai. So, we won't waste the money. Don't worry.”

Hearing Lou Wangyue say this, Su Banxia naturally understood that if Lou Wangyue really wanted to open a carpentry shop in Fuping County, it would be an easy thing for him. The reason he didn't touch Muxiangzhai's cake before wasn't because he didn't have the ability, but simply because he didn't want to. Now that Lou Wangyue was willing to stand up for him, Su Banxia naturally had nothing to say and could only let him go.

Su Banxia picked up a freshly made dorayaki and placed it on Lou Wangyue's lips.

"Try this, it's still warm from what I just made. Consider it my way of thanking you for standing up for me earlier."

Lou Wangyue was deeply moved by these words. He immediately opened his mouth and took a big bite, which was so hot that he almost lost control of his expression. However, his face remained red, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Mmm, delicious. Banxia's cooking is always so good. No wonder so many people want to eat it."

Seeing his expression, Su Banxia couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, I'll put the food here. Let it cool down before you eat it. Look how hot it is."

After saying that, Su Banxia went back to taking care of the guests.

Lou Wangyue watched Su Banxia's busy figure and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. She had been by Su Banxia's side for so many days, and Su Banxia must have gotten used to her presence. Could this be the way to slowly and gradually enter her heart?
