Su Nanxi was overjoyed; something she thought was worthless turned out to be so valuable!

Hoo hoo!

I can't let it pass if I see it again!

Manager Luo was also very happy. He had given instructions, and his grandfather would definitely be very pleased. He no longer had to worry about being demoted to second manager.

Su Nanxi wandered around for a while longer, and just as she was wondering whether she should look for Chen Liang, Chen Liang saw her from afar, ran out, and invited her to come into the shop and sit down.

Since you've invited me, please sit for a while.

She thought it was just a casual invitation from an acquaintance, but soon Chen Liang handed her the account book and asked her to take a look.

What's going on?

Chen Liang said he was the manager and she was the owner, so naturally he had to review the account books.

Chen Liang said, “My mother had my fortune told a long time ago, saying that I was only destined to be a shopkeeper, not a boss. I never believed it and wanted to prove to them that I was destined to be a boss. My family was poor, and I started from scratch, working odd jobs. After years of stumbling and struggling, I finally became a shopkeeper. But I wasn’t satisfied, so I invested all my savings in a business and became a boss. But, as you know, what happened next was that I lost everything and even tried to jump off a cliff. So, I really don’t have the luck to live up to the title of boss. I can only be a shopkeeper. I’ve come to terms with it and I’m no longer fixated on it.”

Wow! There's such a story behind it!

Su Nanxi gave up, not wanting to ruin someone else's good fortune.

Chen Liang is still very ambitious. He doesn't want to be a boss, but he still has a lot of passion and wants to make the business bigger and stronger. That way, he will feel proud and satisfied.

Su Nanxi found paper and pen and started talking with Chen Liang. One wrote and the other spoke, and they actually found themselves having a good conversation.

"Young lady, what is this? A contract?"

After learning that Chen Liang was determined to prove himself, Su Nanxi decided to cooperate with him and showed him a contract.

"Great! That's so detailed and clear! Brilliant! You've thought of everything! I have no other objections! Whatever shop you want to open, I'll help you open it!"

Sigh! She just copied what others had said and rearranged it according to the actual situation; it's not her achievement!

Chen Liang was suddenly filled with passion and excitement. He looked at the contract again and again, nodding repeatedly and saying it was good. He declared that he would find a day to have a witness sign it.

Chen Liang said that through acquaintances, he found two shops that were for sale and thought they were quite good. He asked Su Nanxi to take a look and see if they were suitable.

Su Nanxi went along to look at the shops, found one she liked, and bought it on the spot. With Chen Liang, that old fox, helping her negotiate the price, she could save some money!

Su Nanxi felt that she had been out for quite a while and was worried that the Mo couple would be looking for her everywhere, so she didn't talk to Chen Liang anymore. Before leaving, she gave him a book.

That was a management system she had spent a long time organizing, deleting, adding, and finally compiling. It's not perfect, but it's quite practical.

Sure enough, after being away for so long, the Mo couple searched everywhere for her, and when they finally found her, they were almost moved to tears.

Oh dear! My apologies!

It was wrong of her to cause the two elderly people so much worry and fear!

"Mute girl! It was our fault. We were so busy chatting that we forgot about you! How could I explain to San'er if we lost you?"

Pshaw! What explanation do you want?!

I doubt he'd even lift an eyelid!

Tsk tsk! What a fickle man!

Childish devil!

To make up for her guilt, Su Nanxi bought a lot of things, including pastries for the two elderly people to eat.

Su Nanxi found a carpenter who made wheelchairs, gave him a blueprint, and asked him to see if he could make it.

The carpenter took the blueprints, looked at them from left to right, top to bottom, but still didn't understand. "Young lady, what is this for? Judging from the markings, it's quite large!"

Uh! It's a waterwheel!

Has no one here ever done this before? Or has no one ever seen it?

She intended to use it for irrigation; the weather was too dry, and soon there would be no water anywhere, so they would have to draw water from the river. The Mo family's land was far away, and carrying water was time-consuming and laborious; having a waterwheel would make things much easier.

She thought that these craftsmen had done it before, and could tell what it was and whether it was good or bad just by looking at it!

She couldn't explain it either, so she looked at Old Madam Mo, who immediately understood and asked, "Master, is it possible to make it?"

The carpenter looked at it for a while, thought for a moment, and then said, "It is possible, but I may not be able to finish it by myself. I need to find someone to help me. Also, it is impossible to finish it in one or two days. I have never done it before, so I need to think about it."

As long as it can be done, that's good. Her only worry is that she won't be able to find anyone to do it in the end.

The carpenter then said, "Young lady, this kind of work is something most carpenters wouldn't dare take on. It requires at least ten years of experience; it's incredibly detailed. I feel I'm capable enough and want to challenge myself. I'll take the job, but it won't be cheap! What do you need it for, young lady? Are you sure you want it?"

Yes, I want it!

Why not do it!

One or two taels of silver is acceptable, but more than that is not acceptable.

After paying the deposit, the three of them went home and agreed to come back in three days.

When they got home, the whole family was waiting for them to eat. They must have been waiting for quite a while, because they were all a little listless. As soon as they saw the three of them, they rushed over.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Third Aunt! You've been in town for so long this time! Wow! What's this?!" Mo Dongmei was the first to run over.

The other children then ran over, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the candied hawthorn in Su Nanxi's hand.

Old Mo laughed and scolded, "You were so busy eating that you wouldn't let Grandpa and Grandma in the door!"

The children crowded around Su Nanxi as she entered the courtyard, their eyes never leaving the candied hawthorns.

Su Nanxi gave each child a skewer, and Grandma Mo said from the side, "These are candied hawthorns, they're so delicious! Your grandpa and I also had one. Oh dear, we're really fighting with the kids for food, haha!"

The children's eyes disappeared when they received the candied hawthorns; they had finally gotten to eat them!

Su Nanxi handed the last string of vegetables to Mo Qinghe, saying, "This is the older child; he can't be left out!"

As a result, Mo Qinghe only glanced at it, did not take it, and then bent down and broke his things again.

Well!

So disrespectful?

She pushed the candied hawthorn towards him again, and deliberately shook it, making it clear that it was for him.

Mo Qinghe turned his wheelchair, took a few steps back, and turned to the side.

Su Nanxi's smile gradually turned cold. Fine, she wouldn't eat it, she would! It's not like she couldn't eat it!

The children were too happy to notice the two of them acting strangely, but Grandma Mo did. Her heart tightened. What was going on? Weren't they fine before?

A lot of thoughts suddenly popped into her head. She wondered if the two of them had a fight over something. After all, even her aloof third son had never treated his wife like this before!

But Old Mrs. Mo couldn't figure out the reason no matter how hard she tried. Her third son didn't know either when she asked him, and her third daughter-in-law didn't say anything either.

Grandma Mo suddenly felt powerless and didn't know what to do.

"Where's my candied hawthorn? You ugly thing, how dare you eat my candied hawthorn!"
