So Bai Ruixue tentatively asked the man in line.
"Yes, who else could it be but her? The surname Yan is very rare."
The man replied.
"Open a restaurant? Didn't you say she just did some small business? Is this a small business?"
Feeling deceived, Song glared angrily at Bai Ruixue.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Small business? If Manager Yan's business is small business, then I've never seen anyone who can run a big business. You guys don't know, I've been to Yan's Pastry Shop since the first day it opened. I've watched Manager Yan rise to prominence. In just one year, she opened a restaurant, renovated the shop, and bought two large houses at the city's edge. Not only that, Manager Yan has also opened several branches in Jiangnan County. It's no exaggeration to say that she makes a fortune every day. Who in the entire Shuangqiao Town doesn't know Manager Yan? She's a major taxpayer in our county, and even the county magistrate treats her with great kindness!"
"Moreover, I heard that the house on the city wall cost two thousand taels of silver. A friend of mine asked about it, and it was sold for two thousand. You see, she bought a house for two thousand just like that. How rich must Manager Yan be? She's even managed to get on good terms with the county magistrate. So many people in town are envious of her, but they can only keep quiet. Nobody dares to scheme against her. Manager Yan is also on good terms with the head of the county officials. Who would dare to cause trouble? Heh! The officials would be here in no time, and the person would be arrested in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn..."
The man seemed to be telling a story, and the people queuing around him listened intently.
All eyes were on him.
Bai Ruixue was dumbfounded.
What?
A house worth two thousand taels of silver?
A branch has opened in Jiangnan County?
Is this still the Aunt Yan she knows?
"Mother, I don't know, I thought..."
Bai Ruixue didn't know how to explain.
Although she did deliberately cover up the truth, she herself did not expect Aunt Yan's business to be so big.
Song's mind was in a state of confusion.
Therefore, she missed out on a daughter-in-law who was incredibly wealthy, and whose mother had connections with the county magistrate. If Xiaotian had married her, what would her family have to worry about?
Even without taking the imperial examination, one could still get Xiaotian a minor job through his in-laws.
Why did you marry a farmer's daughter?
Song's eyes were almost red.
It's not sadness.
He was angry.
She never imagined that even with one foot in the grave, she would still be tricked by her daughter-in-law.
"Smack—"
Unable to contain her anger, Song slapped Bai Ruixue hard across the face.
"I'll settle the score with you when we get back. Jiao'er, take her back! I have things to do."
In a flash, she had an idea. After Jiao'er dragged her daughter-in-law away, she walked to the entrance of the restaurant.
I met the woman I had met at the Bai Lizheng family's house that day.
She's called a woman, but if you only looked at her, people would believe she was their daughter.
Song felt acid reflux. They were all in their thirties, and she herself was only a few years older, so why did she look so old?
They had to worry about money every day, while the Yan family in front of them was dressed in gold and jade. They could buy their house just by selling a few pieces of that jewelry.
The more Song looked at her, the more she regretted it. She shouldn't have listened to that little bitch Bai Ruixue.
It caused her precious son to lose his gold nugget.
Isn't it just a gold nugget?
If you marry a daughter of the Yan family, your dowry will be at least several hundred taels of silver.
Who knows, she might even bring a few shops as part of the dowry. Just the rent alone would be enough for her family to live comfortably.
Oh dear, we've suffered a huge loss.
Song shook her head repeatedly.
This sight came into Yan Xia's view.
She's busy entertaining guests.
She saw Song standing at the entrance of her restaurant, nodding and shaking her head at her, occasionally laughing, then turning into a mournful face.
She's like a crazy woman.
I wanted to pretend I didn't see it.
But when Song walked up to her, she looked at her expectantly, her eyes shining as if she had seen a treasure.
"Manager Yan? Do you remember me? That day in Hundred Flowers Village..."
"Stop, just say what you need to say, I'm very busy."
Yan Xia interrupted her.
"As you know, I don't know you well; we've only met once. So, Xiaoxue deceived me. Ah, it's fate, really. But I really don't like Xiaoxue. Tell me, if I had Xiaotian divorce her and marry your daughter, wouldn't that be perfect? You know, my Xiaotian is handsome and has a talent for studying. Don't worry, after the marriage, you can introduce him to the magistrate so he can learn from him. Once he passes the imperial examinations, you'll be the mother-in-law of a scholar who has passed the provincial examinations. You won't need to climb the social ladder anymore..."
Yan Xia watched as Song Shi's mouth opened and closed.
She rubbed her ears.
I thought I was hallucinating.
But the sound that comes through is ultimately real.
Yan Xia's face darkened.
She had never seen anyone so shameless.
Ignoring the fact that the restaurant was full of customers, Yan Xia pointed her finger at her and started cursing.
"Shut your stinking mouth! Is your son some kind of gold ingot? Everyone likes him? Bah! He's several years older than my Jinfu, and he couldn't even pass the preliminary imperial examination, yet he dares to dream of becoming a Jinshi? What kind of Jinshi? He'd be better off in a pigsty. Even being a pig is an insult to pigs. He has a pig's brain, is as thin as a stick, and has no meat on his bones. Even a dog wouldn't want to eat him. You want to marry my daughter? What family do you think you are worthy of? Look at the clothes you're wearing! Even my dog's diaper blanket is better than your clothes. You have no money, no family tradition. You should be grateful you married the daughter of the village head. You don't even treat her well, and you come here trying to get related to me by marriage. Get out of my way! I feel bad just seeing you standing at my door. Get out—"
Yan Xia's mouth seemed to have a megaphone installed.
The sound was enormous.
Not only those inside the restaurant, but also those queuing outside, those eating on the second floor, and those from the pastry shop across the street all looked in this direction. Some even ran down the stairs because they couldn't see it, while others leaned over from the second floor across the street to watch the show.
This moment.
Yan Xia ruthlessly trampled on the Song family's dignity.
Her face flushed red, her eyes widened like a bull's, and she looked like she was about to breathe fire.
The stares from those around her made her lose her footing and almost collapse to the ground. Not wanting to embarrass herself further, Song could only suppress her anger and point at Yan Xia, babbling on and on.
Her trembling lips made her stutter.
He can't even utter a complete sentence.
"What do you mean, 'you'? You want me to take care of you when you die? Get lost, and hurry up, or I'll have the waiter carry you away. I don't know where you'll end up; maybe to the pigsty to reunite with your son, or maybe to the latrine in my backyard. It's lunchtime anyway, so I'll treat you to a simple meal. Don't be shy—"
Yan Xia went all out.
It almost made Mrs. Song faint with anger.
But fearing that she would be thrown into a pigsty or cesspool if she fainted, she could only cover her face and leave quickly.
She's such a shrew; she can't win an argument with a single word.
That's terrifying.
Song's short, stocky legs made him run faster and faster.
A burst of laughter came from behind me.
