Upon leaving the shop, Xiao Yunqi noticed that Shen Qingyu was absent-minded, not even wearing the silver hairpin, but just playing with it in her hand, and couldn't help but scoff.
What's so special about this plain silver hairpin that makes it worth handling and admiring repeatedly?
They've never seen the world.
Shen Qingyu went to the pastry shop again and asked the shopkeeper to give her one of each kind of pastry.
Yes, just one.
If it weren't for the fact that it's not easy to handle each food item individually, she wouldn't want to buy any at all.
Hearing the notification sound from the Space Mall, Shen Qingyu smiled contentedly.
Next came the blacksmith shop, the general store, the pharmacy...
Upon hearing the notification from the Space Mall that ginseng, lingzhi, and other products had been added, and seeing the hefty prices of these medicinal herbs in the Space Mall, Shen Qingyu's smile widened.
This is equivalent to backing up most of the goods in the entire town in the online store!
If I need it urgently in the future, I can buy it directly from the space store!
When Shen Qingyu finally said she wanted to go home, Xiao Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief: It's finally over.
Women shopping is terrifying!
They just browsed without buying anything, picking through, trying on, and caressing the items...
As the man following behind her, Xiao Yunqi was barely able to bear the shopkeeper's disdainful gaze.
Back at the dock, Shen Changshou had almost sold all his goods and was happily counting his money.
Shen Qingyu didn't urge him. She invited him to get on the donkey cart and go home together while waiting for him to count the items.
"Qingyu, count it carefully. This bucket of glutinous rice costs two taels of silver plus three hundred and twenty-four copper coins." Shen Changshou said with a tone of surprise and pride as he handed the money bag to Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu accepted it with a smile and counted out a day's wages, handing it to Shen Changshou: "Brother Changshou, this is your wages."
Shen Changshou took the wages and carefully tucked them into his pocket: "I only did half a day's work, and I wasn't even tired, yet I'm paid so much, really..."
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't come anymore. You can come by yourself, and bring the goods home to me after you've sold them all."
The village head's family owned an oxcart, which was only slightly slower than a donkey cart.
"Sure! No problem." Shen Changshou patted his chest and agreed.
Xiao Yunqi was driving the carriage ahead. Listening to the conversation between the two, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He suddenly understood why Shen Qingyu insisted on doing small business.
A bucket of glutinous rice can earn more than one tael of silver, which is a huge income for rural families!
If this business can continue in the long term, supporting three children will not be a problem at all.
Even so, she was still not satisfied and continued to try making braised meat and selling bean sprouts...
She was seriously planning for life after the divorce...
Xiao Yunqi felt a pang of sadness in his heart again.
When we got home, the children had already eaten.
Liu Cuixi left some food for Xiao Yunqi and Shen Qingyu. The two of them were slightly taken aback when they ate it.
Liu Cuixi's cooking method is similar to that of others in the village; she uses very little oil, and the food doesn't taste very good.
Fortunately, the children did not dare to waste food, and it is said that each of them ate a bowl of rice.
After the meal, Shen Qingyu got busy again, handing fine cotton cloth to Liu Cuixi and asking her to help make clothes and shoes for the children, as well as a pair of shoes for Wen Che.
It will still be charged separately.
Wen Che tensed up at the mention of shoes: "No need, sister-in-law, I have other shoes to wear."
Shen Qingyu glanced at Xiao Yunqi's dark face: "The three children's apprenticeship gifts only included a pair of shoes, but you gave the shoes to your cousin... I owe you a pair of shoes."
Xiao Yunqi: "..."
Wen Che: "..."
Liu Cuixi almost burst out laughing: "Making shoes doesn't require much fabric. You bought so many, so one pair for each person?"
Wen Che wanted to refuse, but Xiao Yunqi nodded first: "Okay! Then one pair for each of us."
Wen Che shut up.
In the evening, Shen Qingyu was about to water the bean sprouts when Xiao Yunqi stopped her, saying, "I'll go instead."
"You?" Shen Qingyu couldn't believe it.
“Okay, I’ll take care of watering the plants at night from now on,” Xiao Yunqi nodded in agreement.
Shen Qingyu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, you can be in charge of watering at night, and you'll get an extra 10% of the profits from the bean sprouts."
"..." I thank you for calculating so clearly.
Feeling frustrated, Xiao Yunqi went to deliver food to Cheng Ping.
Cheng Ping lay there with a grin: "Brother Xiao, my injury is healing quite quickly, so why do I feel so weak all over?"
Xiao Yunqi said calmly, "I gave you some muscle-relaxing powder. Even if you're fully recovered, you won't have any strength."
Cheng Ping's expression hardened, and he asked in surprise, "Why?"
“Because I know why you came.” Xiao Yunqi glanced indifferently out the window.
The sound of Wen Che talking to his three children could be heard from outside the window.
Cheng Ping's expression turned cold, and he dropped the pretense: "When did you find out?"
"The day after I rescued you."
"Then why don't you kill me?"
"One thing at a time."
You saved me, we're good friends, so I saved you too.
However, Wen Che must be protected, so in order to protect Wen Che as well, the only option is to drug you.
Cheng Ping took a deep breath! Then another deep breath, and suddenly laughed: "You and your sister-in-law got divorced?"
How did this guy know?
Xiao Yunqi, however, didn't seem to care at all: "So what?"
"I heard everything. Actually, your sister-in-law is quite nice..." Cheng Ping chuckled strangely.
Xiao Yunqi's face darkened: "Cheng Ping, if you go too far, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Now that you're divorced, it's not up to you to decide who Miss Qingyu wants to marry. I think she's a good person." Cheng Ping smiled slyly.
Xiao Yunqi stood up: "Cheng Ping, I am a man of loyalty and affection, but if you want to be my child's stepfather, I don't mind being ruthless."
"Hehehe..." Cheng Ping chuckled as he watched Xiao Yunqi leave the room.
Cheng Ping fell into a coma that night.
When Xiao Yunqi realized something was wrong, Cheng Ping's face had turned ashen. Helpless, he could only call Shen Qingyu to come and take a look.
Shen Qingyu was also taken aback. Upon taking his pulse, she discovered he had been poisoned.
"What did you feed him?" Shen Qingyu's eyes instantly turned to Xiao Yunqi.
Xiao Yunqi almost jumped up: "You mean, I poisoned him?"
"What else? Did I put it in? Or did Wen Che put it in?" Shen Qingyu asked calmly, without getting excited at all.
Xiao Yunqi: "..."
"Or are you trying to tell me that he did it himself?" Shen Qingyu glanced at Cheng Ping, who was dying on the bed.
"Maybe he really did put it in there?" Xiao Yunqi gritted his teeth.
"Do you think I believe you?"
Shen Qingyu gave him a look, letting him figure it out for himself.
Xiao Yunqi really wanted to stab this bastard to death: he really went all out to poison himself!
Shen Qingyu took out silver needles from her satchel (space storage) and pricked Cheng Ping's fingertips one by one to draw blood. At the same time, she called Xiao Yunqi to fetch water.
Xiao Yunqi went to fetch water, feeling frustrated.
After the bloodletting was finished, Shen Qingyu fed Cheng Ping the spiritual spring water that she had changed.
"I'll write a prescription for the antidote, and you go to town to get the medicine for him," Shen Qingyu instructed skillfully.
Xiao Yunqi looked annoyed: "..."
I don't want to go!
I want to kill him!
