Seeing that Zhao remained silent for a long time and was looking at her strangely, Luo became unhappy. "We can't possibly do the exact same thing. We won't steal all your business. We're just taking advantage of your success!"

Zhao rolled up her sleeves and said, "Then you can figure it out yourselves and make it about 70 or 80 percent of the way there. Why ask me and make things difficult for me!"

Luo became anxious. "Why is it difficult? Just give me a general idea. I'm not as skilled as you, and I definitely can't make it taste the same. I'll just follow along and earn a little money!"

"Hehe!" Zhao's laughter was tinged with sarcasm. "If it were you, and I went back to my parents' home to ask you for their family's business methods, would you tell me?"

"This?" Mrs. Luo paused for a moment, then thought for a moment, "It's not us who have business now, it's you!"

Zhao knew this would happen; she knew Luo wouldn't agree. So her tone turned colder. "I'm just asking, if you were to agree, would you?"

Luo wanted to say she would definitely agree, but when she met Zhao's smiling eyes, she couldn't bring herself to speak. She turned her head away and stammered, "There are no 'ifs'! If there were, I would definitely help you out!"

Zhao pressed, "Even if you know you'll be severely punished if you're found out, will you still tell me? Like being scolded, beaten, or even divorced! Are you willing to risk being divorced to tell me the family's money-making secrets?"

Not daring to meet Zhao's aggressive gaze, Luo looked to the side and said, "This... I'm sure..."

Zhao said quietly, "Think it over before you speak. There are gods watching over us! Anyone can lie, anyone can blatantly lie. Can you swear you'll tell me?"

Ancient people revered the gods and had a certain fear of these unseen deities. They preferred to believe in their existence rather than their non-existence, and generally did not want to make oaths unless absolutely necessary, because they would be punished by the gods if they broke them!

Luo's eyes darted around, and she stammered as she spoke, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time. She was still too afraid!

"Sister-in-law, do you think I would betray the Mo family? Do you want me to be divorced?"

Luo's voice clearly lacked confidence, "Hey! What betrayal? I'm your sister-in-law, of course I don't want to be divorced!"

She was sent back to her parents' home after being divorced. Who will support her now?

Zhao understood the situation and stopped arguing with her. "Sister-in-law is a sensible person, so you should know what to do. I have to go on my way, so I won't stop you. Be careful on your way home."

After saying that, Zhao turned and left, decisively and cleanly.

Luo pouted in resentment, then glared at Zhao with a fierce look, inwardly spitting a few times.

Selfish person! Only cares about herself and doesn't care about her family!

How does that constitute betrayal?

If you don't want to help, just say so. Don't go through all that trouble!

Ignoring your own family? Be careful, you might get struck by lightning!

She had originally intended to go back, but then she thought, since she was already here and the Mo family had started cooking, she might as well have a meal first before going back!

Luo found a place to sit down, and not long after, more people from the Mo family arrived.

Three of them came at once!

Luo turned her head and saw that she only recognized two people; the other one didn't look like a villager.

"Third cousin's wife!"

When Zhou Yuzhu came in and saw Su Nanxi, she ran straight over to her.

Su Nanxi looked up and saw Qiu Huiling past Zhou Yuzhu; she was also walking this way.

Zhou Yuzhu was very excited. She covered her mouth with her hand, leaned close to Su Nanxi's ear, and whispered something.

"Third cousin-in-law! I'll let you in on a little secret: my mother took me to a matchmaker, and the guy seemed pretty good!"

Su Nanxi smiled at her, her eyes asking, "Do you like me?"

Zhou Yuzhu lowered her head, shyly fidgeted, and gently twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands.

Looks like she likes him, look at her shy expression!

Alas! A young girl's longing is fleeting; once she grows up, she can't be kept forever!

Qiu Huiling walked up, smiling gently and speaking softly, "Sister Yuzhu, are you shy?"

Zhou Yuzhu was embarrassed when someone said that to her face, and her face turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't do it!"

Qiu Huiling smiled gently, "Okay, no! Is that alright now?"

Zhou Yuzhu stomped her foot, snorted, and said, "I'm ignoring you!"

Wang walked over and said to Su Nanxi, "Mute girl, do you still have those hair accessories from before? Those hair accessories are so beautiful, and many people like them. If you still have them, please give us some more!"

"Mom! What are you doing!"

Zhou Yuzhu was unhappy that her mother was asking for things. She had already given her gifts, so asking for more would seem like she was being ungrateful.

Wang didn't think anything of it. You have to try to know if something will work. How will you know if you won't get it if you don't ask? What if you do get it!

That hair accessory is really adorable! Not only is the material unique, but the design is also very beautiful. Both young and old girls love it!

Didn't you say it was a gift from someone else?

If there are any more, it wouldn't hurt to ask!

Since it wasn't bought, it didn't cost any money, so I won't feel bad giving it away!

Su Nanxi shook her head, indicating that there was nothing more.

She suddenly regretted giving those hair accessories as gifts. They weren't meant to be found in this world; their novelty and uniqueness might have tempted someone to do something else.

Selling it for money is not impossible!

Plastic items are generally more durable and lighter than jade items.

Things are always valued for their scarcity; the less common they are, the more expensive they become.

From what Wang said, we can see that plastic hair accessories are in high demand!

Wang seemed to have seen a way to make money, so she got the idea to get some from Su Nanxi, resell it, and make a lot of money, since some young ladies from wealthy families also wanted some!

By raising the price, she can make a lot of money, since only she sells this unique hair accessory!

Wang was full of anticipation, but when she saw Su Nanxi shake her head, she couldn't accept it. There should still be some left!

Su Nanxi definitely still has some, but she doesn't want to take it out again.

Wang asked again and again, "Think carefully, could it be hidden somewhere else?"

Su Nanxi shook her head, "No!"

Zhou Yuzhu couldn't stand it anymore. "Mother! Doesn't Third Cousin know this herself? If she knew, she certainly wouldn't be shaking her head. Why are you still asking?"

Hearing this, Qiu Huiling, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes. It turned out that the hair accessory on Zhou Yuzhu's hand was a gift from this mute girl!

It seems this mute girl is quite something; she actually came across such a wonderful treasure, yet she didn't recognize its value and gave it away so easily!

It would be so nice to give it to her!

After she dresses up, she's definitely a great beauty. With those unique hair accessories, she'll look even more charming and beautiful!

The mute girl kept shaking her head, so there was definitely no more. It seemed that she could only try to get rid of Zhou Yuzhu.

Although Zhou Yuzhu is not a celestial beauty, she has a unique charm when she dresses up.

It's unlikely that I can snatch her beloved item from Zhou Yuzhu's hands; I'll have to resort to some subtle tactics and indirect approaches.

"Many young ladies in town like him!"
