"This—" Qiao Qiuniang was speechless.
"Tch, when I go to my aunt's house, my cousins always treat me to snacks and tea."
It's only right that we treat our cousins to a meal.
"Hurry up, hurry up, stop dawdling." An Xian shoved Qiao Qiu Niang toward the shop window.
"This thing is sealed so tightly, how did you get it out?"
Anle, who was sitting on the sofa by the French windows discussing business with An Yizhong, had a slight smile fade from his lips, revealing a hint of coldness, and his eyes gradually turned icy.
The one who calls her mother "aunt" must be Anxian, the eldest daughter of her aunt's family.
Like mother, like daughter.
This little one is no better than her aunt!
This family is full of terrible relatives; you can't get rid of them all, they just keep coming back!
"Mother, it's alright. We still have a batch of goods at Second Uncle's place that haven't arrived yet. We've only paid the deposit, not the full amount for the goods."
The remaining silver doesn't need to be paid; it will cover Anxian's expenses here.
If she wants it, give it to her, put it on her tab, and let her know later.
Anxian stared wide-eyed and turned to look at the person sitting by the French window, only then noticing Anle.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you good-for-nothing? I just came here to eat something, and you want to charge me?"
Anle rested his elbow on the back of his head and said with a smile.
"Nonsense? Heh."
What joke is Anxian telling me here?
What nonsense did I spout?
Even when I order goods from my second uncle, I still have to pay the bill, right?
My second uncle has never offered me a discount, not even a penny!
What's wrong?
Once you're in my business, you're expected to eat and take for free.
When I go to your business, do I have to pay you every penny?
What is the logic behind this?
Why don't you call your second uncle over, and we can discuss this matter here?"
An Xian's face was flushed with anger. She pointed at An Le, too choked with rage to retort.
"You you you—" This little bitch is getting sharper and sharper with her tongue. I've never gotten along with her, and we've never been on good terms.
Right now, all she wants to do is strangle this little bitch who's always going against her.
Even though she wanted to pinch him, she didn't dare to actually do it.
Don't let her small size fool you; she's a formidable opponent when it comes to fighting.
In their fights, she never gained the upper hand.
Unable to gain any advantage from Anle, Anxian turned her attention to Qiao Qiuniang.
"Auntie, are you going to take care of Anle or not? You're always going against me and making me angry. Even eating something makes me angry."
Anle sneered.
"You can eat shit if you want, but if you eat my food, you have to pay me. If you want to eat and take things for free, act like a bully, or dine and dash, no way."
Wu Qiaohui was stunned by the chilling aura emanating from An Le's eyes and her sharp gaze—
Unable to resist, he took two steps back and shrank behind Wu Qiaolan, covering his mouth and whispering something in Wu Qiaolan's ear.
"Second sister, was this little cousin really this capable before?"
When she glanced this way with those sharp, icy eyes of hers, I felt a chill run down my spine.
This little cousin of mine looks like a tough nut to crack; she's not someone to mess with.
Wu Qiaolan was also taken aback and couldn't help but secretly grumble to herself—
This little cousin is definitely not someone to mess with; she's clearly not someone to be trifled with.
It's probably not going to work out to get a free meal here.
If they were to reveal their little schemes here, their sharp little eyes would probably see right through them.
In particular, she had heard that the shop was only able to open because of this little cousin, and that her uncle's family's current prosperity was also entirely due to her little cousin.
In short, it's all thanks to my little cousin.
This little cousin is quite a celebrity in town now; I heard she's some kind of celestial maiden.
I don't know if this rumor is true or false, or whether it's credible or not.
Licking her slightly dry lips, Wu Qiaolan's eyes darted around, and she smiled as she leaned in and took Qiao Qiuniang's arm, acting affectionately and coquettishly.
"Auntie, why don't you come to our house for a visit? I haven't seen you in so long."
A few days ago, my aunt got married, and we weren't able to go see her. At the time, my two sisters and I were in the city.
It's such a pity that I couldn't make it back to see my aunt off at her wedding.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we missed it. I wonder if my aunt will be angry with us?
Qiao Qiuniang patted Wu Qiaolan's hand to comfort her.
"How could that be? You're going to the city to take care of important business."
It's alright, they won't blame you if they're satisfied.
There's been a lot going on at home lately, so I haven't been able to visit you all. Your parents must be busy too, otherwise they would definitely have brought you over for a visit.
How did things go for you guys in the city?
"Would the teachers in the city accept you?"
Wu Qiaoxin smiled and said, "Whether or not they accept us is not up to the teachers to decide. It depends on our own abilities. We all have to take the entrance exam."
An Xian tilted her head and glanced at Wu Qiaoxin and Wu Qiaolan.
"Cousin, what are you talking about? What kind of entrance exam are you taking?"
Wu Qiaolan raised her eyebrows, a hint of smugness in her eyes.
"My mother said she would send the three of us sisters to the city to learn the piano."
However, there are rules for learning the piano there; you have to pass an entrance exam to get in.
That musician is from the prestigious Luo family in Jincheng. He's recruiting students according to the Luo family's wishes, and he's specifically looking for a wide range of students.
If one could catch the eye of the Luo family's musician, their future would be bright and limitless.
He would undoubtedly become a disciple of the prestigious Luo family of Jincheng.
They will all be working for the Luo family from now on.
Perhaps there will even be a chance or possibility of marrying into a prestigious family.
Anle, sitting on the sofa, blinked, completely confused.
She didn't know anything about this prestigious family in Jincheng, but the girl's smugness and arrogance were quite blatantly displayed.
How arrogant!
She seems to be a girl with a high opinion of herself!
Anxian screamed excitedly.
"Huh? Is it...is it that exaggerated?"
How could she possibly marry into such a prestigious family?
So, does that mean if you, my cousins, become that teacher's students, you'll be able to enter the Luo family, transform from commoners to phoenixes, and marry into a prestigious family?
Wu Qiaolan frowned unhappily. A pheasant turned into a phoenix? Did they call her a pheasant?
"Can't you speak properly? What do you mean by 'from pheasant to phoenix'? My Wu family is a well-known and reputable grain merchant in town."
Even among the prominent families in this town, he was a small-time wealthy merchant with some standing.
Everyone who sees my father has to give him some face, right?
How did I, Wu Qiaolan, become a brothel?
