Liang Shuyan hid to the side and watched carefully. Under the moonlight, she saw Jin Wang pluck some golden ears of grain and put them into a bag.
"Oh my, is it really him?" Su Qiaoqiao's eyes widened in surprise.
Liang Shuyan didn't speak, but turned around and said, "Let's go, let's hurry to town, or it will get late."
Su Qiaoqiao was a little confused: "No, Auntie, if we don't stop him, are we just going to let him continue stealing here? It's not easy for Auntie Pang's family to grow a little grain."
"Anyway, no one at your aunt's house is harvesting, so let him help with the harvest. When we come back later, we'll see how much millet has no ears left, and then we'll know. We can just have Auntie Pang go to his house and get the harvest ready-made!"
Liang Shuyan boarded the carriage, cracked the whip, and the donkey cart sped forward, soon arriving at the market.
Ruyan and Su Qiaoqiao helped unload the goods and set up the stall. By this time, it was already bright outside. Liang Shuyan glanced at Ruyan and said, "Ruyan, if you're going to the restaurant now, go to the restaurant! Qiaoqiao and I will promote the stall here for a while!"
Liang Shuyan neatly arranged the tea leaves she had brought on the table, placed a sign on the ground, and called out: "Jin's Tea House is having a resurgence sale! Special prices! Buy one get one free, and you can sample the tea on the spot!"
Su Qiaoqiao was a perceptive person. Seeing that everyone around her was busy, she took the sorted tea leaves and went up to each person, greeting them: "Fellow villagers, take a look at our tea leaves, two coins a bag!"
People in the market are busy setting up their stalls and don't have time to look at tea right now.
Liang Shuyan categorized the teas, and this time she mainly recommended her Jin's Rose Tea, which is primarily aimed at wealthy people. However, at the entrance of the market, there are only small vendors and no wealthy families.
Su Qiaoqiao could speak, and after calling out for a while, a man who looked to be in his forties came over: "Aren't these tea leaves very dark in color?"
"Yes, of course. We are Jin's Tea House, a reputable and guaranteed tea brand. If you've tried our tea before, you won't hesitate. We've also launched fresh tea this time, with a rose fragrance. If you'd like, I can send you a small bag to try at home. If you like it, you can place an order in Daling Village!"
Liang Shuyan hadn't expected Su Qiaoqiao to be so eloquent, immediately attracting the attention of the two men, who both expressed their desire to take the tea back and try it.
Although there were only two customers, this alone showed Su Qiaoqiao's sales ability. Liang Shuyan glanced at Su Qiaoqiao and said with a smile, "Qiaoqiao, you're really good. You're very suitable for this line of work. From now on, you'll be our tea shop's salesperson, in charge of selling our tea. How about that?"
Su Qiaoqiao blushed and said, "Yes, Auntie, as long as you are willing to take me under your wing and teach me things, that's great. Qiaoqiao is willing to learn from you!"
The two packed their things, and Liang Shuyan drove the donkey cart to Furong Town. To the north of Furong Town was a dock, where many people came and went.
Su Qiaoqiao pointed to an empty spot and said, "Auntie, why don't we set up our stall here? Look, there are many people coming and going to do business at the dock. I'm sure we'll sell our tea soon!"
Liang Shuyan nodded, and she and Su Qiaoqiao set everything up and started hawking their wares. Sure enough, in less than half an hour, all the tea leaves were sold out.
Liang Shuyan hesitated for a moment: "It seems that we have completed our task for today. It's just that we didn't prepare some for the shops along the street. I believe that our rose tea will be loved by many people!"
Ruyan arrived at the restaurant and found Chunyan standing in the lobby, holding a rag and wiping the table. She quickly walked over.
"Ruyan, what brings you here?"
Ruyan clenched her fists tightly and stepped forward to hit Chunyan.
Chunyan's eyes widened: "Why, why did you hit me?"
Ruyan didn't want to explain any further, so she threw another punch. Chunyan squatted on the ground and asked again, "Why did you hit me? What did I do?"
"I'm asking you, what gives you the right to tell Sanwang about my past?"
Chunyan then realized what was happening, covered her face, and said, word by word, "I was going to say that I did all that for the good of my brother Sanwang. I can't let my brother Sanwang marry a woman like this!"
During this period, Sanwang was in a bad mood. Ruyan tried to talk to him, but he ignored her. Whenever he had free time, he would go to the school to chat with Zhao Heng, Mr. Su, and everyone else, but he was unwilling to talk to her.
"What did I do wrong? That happened when I was a child. So what? Whose childhood is completely innocent? You actually brought up these things to tell Sanwang. Aren't you deliberately trying to sow discord between us?"
Chunyan was stubborn and didn't want to see Sanwang being deceived, so she told him about it. Sanwang was furious when he found out and hadn't spoken to Ruyan about it for a while.
Manager Xiao, dressed in a blue robe, walked over and said, "Stop! What are you doing?"
Ruyan then stopped and pointed at Chunyan, saying, "Do you know what Chunyan said to Sanwang? I'm telling you, Jin Chunyan, I'll tell Manager Xiao what you told me. Is that alright?"
When Chunyan thought about what she had told Ruyan, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She turned to look at Ruyan and looked at her with pleading eyes.
Ruyan then flung her sleeves and left angrily.
Zhang came out of the kitchen and looked at the disheveled Chunyan: "What happened, Chunyan? Ruyan is always gentle and virtuous. Why did she hit you? Did you do something to offend Ruyan?"
"I, I didn't! I just talked too much!"
Chunyan said something and then turned and ran away.
Manager Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Chunyan gossiped and affected the relationship between Sanwang and Ruyan?"
Zhang looked at Steward Xiao with some helplessness: "I know Ruyan. She would never have come over to hit someone if she hadn't been so angry. Go ask Chunyan what she said."
Where there are many women, there is much gossip.
Ruyan wanted to go out and look for Liang Shuyan and Su Qiaoqiao, but she couldn't find them in the same place. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, two thugs came out of nowhere and blocked her way.
