"What does your father's good or bad relationship have to do with us? I heard that every time your father sees you, he tries to ruin things. This time, you don't have to do it yourself. Are you still not happy?"

Jiang Huaixu felt that this child was quite rebellious.

Zhou Xiaoni's lips were broken by the stone. Even though she tried her best to endure it, tears still flashed in her eyes. She wiped them hard with her arm, stood up and ran away.

She ran away, but the children from Dafeng Village she called didn't run away. They all looked at Jiang Huaixu eagerly. Jiang Huaixu said to them, "You wait here, I'll go back and get some candy."

Soon the dragon beard candy was brought over. Jiang Huaixu shook the cloth bag of candy in his hand and said, "If you want to eat candy, you have to promise me one thing."

The children in Dafeng Village followed Jiang Huaixu's hand holding the cloth bag, and the desire in their eyes almost overflowed.

The oldest child swallowed and said dissatisfiedly, "You don't keep your word!"

"What's not true? If you agree, there will be candy in the future. If you don't agree, this is the only deal we have. Think about it carefully."

Jiang Erlang stood aside, remembering that Jiang Huaixu seemed to have said something like "painting a pie in the sky" before, and now it seemed to be vividly played out before his eyes.

The children whispered for a while, and finally said eagerly: "Promise, we promise!"

Jiang Huaixu approached the group of children and whispered for a long time. Seeing that they agreed, she gave each of them a dragon beard candy and finally watched the group run away happily.

She stamped her feet and said, "Brother, let's go back. It's a bit cold."

"Has this matter been settled?" Jiang Erlang hadn't paid much attention to what happened in the tofu shop in the past two days.

Jiang Huaixu nodded, "It will take some time, but it won't be a problem. Second brother can watch the show at home in the next few days."

Halfway home, Jiang Huaixu suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit to the tofu shop, so after saying hello to Jiang Erlang, he trotted to the tofu shop to find Li Qiaoer and Xia Shuanghua.

She acted as a flower protector and sent the two of them back home.

The old couple had not returned yet, and Li Qiao'er and Xia Shuanghua were not in a good mood, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

"Sister Xu, haven't we two caused a lot of trouble for the village?" Xia Shuanghua suddenly said, "If it weren't for us, our Jiuxi Village wouldn't have such a bad reputation..."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiao'er also looked at Jiang Huaixu. Jiang Huaixu shook his head and said, "You two have been doing your own things since you came to Jiuxi Village. Everyone in our village has seen it clearly. You shouldn't take the responsibility on yourselves."

Listening to Jiang Huaixu's words, Li Qiaoer remembered what her mother said during the day and suddenly burst into tears.

Her father and mother loved her, but the world was such that they wanted her to get married, but they felt she was not worthy.

After Xia Shuanghua comforted him, perhaps because she was infected, she began to cry, and finally the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After the initial panic, Jiang Huaixu just looked at the two sad people quietly, without any action or comfort.

Their emotions have been suppressed in their hearts for too long, and they need an outlet.

After gradually calming down, Li Qiao'er seemed to have made up her mind. She looked at Jiang Huaixu and said, "Sister Xu, I remember you said that we need to go to Jiangnan to investigate the market. I want to go."

Xia Shuanghua's crying stopped, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Sister Qiao'er, how can this be possible? Father and Mother won't agree."

"I know. I will convince them." Li Qiao'er said softly, "I want to see what the outside world is like. I want to find a way to make a living that is not so difficult."

Jiang Huaixu looked at her and said, "Okay, Sister Qiao'er, I promise you. But for your safety, you need to learn something."

Li Qiaoer opened her red and swollen eyes, but full of hope, and asked Jiang Huaixu, "What is it?"

Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "Wait for me to get ready. Come to my house in two days."

Xia Shuanghua looked hesitant. On the one hand, she was moved by Sister Qiao'er's bravery, but on the other hand, she couldn't let go of the job of grinding five-spice powder.

Jiang Huaixu saw her hesitation and said, "Sister Shuanghua, if you want to go, that's fine. I'll find someone else to grind the five-spice powder."

"No." Xia Shuanghua bit her lip and shook her head. "I like working in the tofu shop. Besides, there will be opportunities in the future..."

As she spoke, she looked up, as if trying to find a positive answer on Jiang Huaixu's face.

Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "That's great! Otherwise, I would be a little worried if you two were gone all of a sudden."

Afterwards, Jiang Huaixu told the two of them about the price of grinding five-spice powder by weight, and then she left.

On the way home, Jiang Huaixu looked up at the dark night sky, secretly hoping that there would be more women like Li Qiaoer and Xia Shuanghua in the world who could find the path they wanted to take.

In the following days, just as Jiang Huaixu had said, Dafeng Village and Jiuxi Village were quite lively, with many people coming to Jiuxi Village to inquire every day.

"Hey, nephew, have you eaten? What a coincidence! How did I meet you here?"

Jiang Dazhuang looked at the door of his house which he had just closed and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't say anything, and the old lady opposite was still chattering, "I heard that your tofu shop still needs people? How is this going? If you can't find anyone, three of my four sons can come, and my daughters-in-law can do it well..."

The situation in the village was more tactful. Jiang Zhengmao, who was working in the wasteland, was being chased and hurried all the way to the tofu shop. Many women followed behind him and asked questions.

"Village Chief Jiang, my son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter can all come to our tofu shop..."

"Don't look down on me because I'm old. I'm strong too. Grinding spices and the like are easy tasks. You can definitely find it easy at my place..."
