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

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia frowned even more and continued to ask:

"What do you want to do?"

If these troublemakers come and cause trouble again before business has even opened today, Su Banxia will be heartbroken. These ingredients weren't easy to prepare, and if they're all ruined by these people, wouldn't it be a complete waste?

Just as Su Banxia was nervously wondering what to do, she saw the leader walk over, look at the stall, and then glance at Su Banxia.

The tall, thin man next to him quickly said:

"Brother, look at them, it's them. I don't think we need to bother, let's just overturn their stall!"

The leader turned around and glared at the tall, thin man.

"Are you the eldest brother or am I the eldest brother?"

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man became somewhat nervous and said:

"Of course you're the eldest brother, you are."

The leader slapped the tall, thin man across the head.

"Kneel down! Apologize!"

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down.

"Brother, I was wrong! I was too talkative!"

"You're kneeling in the wrong place! Why are you kneeling to me? Kneel to the stall owner and apologize to him!"

The tall, thin man's face stiffened upon hearing this, and he stammered, "..."

"Brother, why should I kneel before her? She's just a woman..."

No sooner had he said that than the leader kicked the tall, thin man.

"Watch your mouth. I'll tell you to kneel, so kneel. I'll tell you to apologize, so apologize. I can't control you anymore. If you don't want to follow me, get the hell out of here!"

The tall, thin man lowered his head and pursed his lips upon hearing this. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and knelt down in front of Su Banxia, ​​saying:

"I'm so sorry, I was blind before and it affected your business. I hope you can forgive us..."

Su Banxia was stunned by this sudden turn of events. After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly dodged the tall, thin man's kneeling.

"Don't blame me, don't shorten my lifespan. Get up quickly, we can talk about it when you're up. What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing this, the leader hurriedly smiled and bowed to Su Banxia, ​​then kicked the tall, thin man and cursed:

"What are you still kneeling for? Didn't you hear the landlady tell you to get up!"

The tall, thin man quickly scrambled to his feet, repeatedly bowing and apologizing to Su Banxia.

The man leading the group looked at Su Banxia with a fawning expression and said with a smile:

"Boss lady, is this alright? Can you forgive him?"

As he spoke, the leader scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

“I’m so sorry, madam. My men were blind and offended you, causing Young Master Lou to have to go through all this trouble. Please tell Young Master Lou that we were wrong and we admit it. We also ask him to be lenient and let us off the hook.”

As he spoke, the leader took out one or two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Su Banxia with both hands.

Su Banxia realized upon hearing this that Lou Wangyue had once again come to her aid, so she quickly smiled and waved her hand, saying:

"No need for the money. We didn't suffer any losses before. Just don't do things that harm others and yourself in the future."

"You must accept this money. If you refuse, it means you don't forgive me. Don't worry, we will definitely behave properly in the future."

Seeing that the leader was very sincere, Su Banxia figured that Lou Wangyue must have put in some effort to help out, so she accepted the silver without hesitation.

"Then I'll accept it. Anyway, you brothers smashed my stall last time, injured my family, and spent a lot of money. So we're even now."

Seeing that Su Banxia had accepted the silver, the leader was finally relieved and quickly said with a smile:

"Since you've forgiven us, what about Young Master Lou...?"

Su Banxia waved her hand.

"I'll tell him. You guys go ahead, I have to do my business."

Upon hearing this, the leader quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then I won't interfere with your business. Let's go!"

Su Banxia watched the group walk away before letting out a long sigh of relief. Su Shiyan then approached her.

"Sister, these people are acting like lunatics, one minute they're good, the next they're bad!"

Su Banxia shook her head helplessly.

"It's all thanks to Lou Wangyue's help from behind. These people are afraid of Lou Wangyue, so they're naturally afraid of us too. We're basically taking advantage of Lou Wangyue's power."

Su Shiyan felt a surge of satisfaction upon hearing this and touched his nose.

"This young master Lou is really something. I thought these people were here to cause trouble again today. I was so scared just now. I was thinking that if they kept making a scene, we wouldn't be able to do business at our stall."

Su Banxia smiled.

“If there’s nothing else, go and greet the guests. By the way, brother, stay away from Cuihua. After all, she’s Lianhua’s sister. If the two of you get too close, it won’t sound good. If others see this, they’ll inevitably misunderstand. If Lianhua finds out about this, she won’t be able to rest easy at home.”

Su Shiyan hadn't thought anything of it at first, but now that Su Banxia had reminded him, he realized that he and Cuihua had indeed become a little too close. After all, Cuihua wasn't his biological sister, yet some of their actions were rather intimate. So Su Shiyan nodded and said:

"Okay, I understand, little sister. Don't worry, I won't let Lotus worry about me."

Su Banxia smiled and nodded.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy, brother, there's already a queue over there."

Soon, all the customers gathered around. Before, with those thugs around, no one dared to approach. Now that the thugs were gone, everyone crowded around. Those who hadn't gotten to try these snacks before were still thinking about them, and today they were finally at the front of the line and could finally taste what these snacks were like.

While greeting customers, Su Banxia was also planning to buy some fabric and cotton after closing up shop today, so she could prepare clothes for her family for the New Year in advance, and let Wang Guihua and Lianhua keep busy making clothes when they had nothing to do at home.

Originally, Su Banxia had already made clothes for the family members because Su Shiyan was getting married this year. However, considering that they would be attending Su Mo and Su Songchuan's wedding after the New Year, the family members needed to have a decent set of new clothes to wear.

You can also check the prices of New Year's goods while you're at it. If the prices are cheap now, you can buy some in advance and store them in your storage space, then take them out to eat and use during the New Year. That way, you won't have to spend extra money on things when prices rise at the end of the year, especially since there are many people in your family and you need a lot of food and supplies.

Seeing that Erzhuzi and Cuihua had nowhere else to go for the New Year and could only stay at home, and that Su Yunhe also needed to prepare some New Year's goods for her, it wouldn't be good to let her suffer alone on the mountaintop.
