Manager Han trembled when Huang calculated his huge debt. He immediately wrote down the contract, paid the money, and walked away unsteadily.
We won't go into how Manager Han, who was tricked into leaving, went on to boast and report back to his employer.
Meanwhile, Huang was incredibly excited to have so many silver notes in his hands.
I've never seen such a large sum of money in my entire life.
"It's true, ever since my darling's soul was restored, the amount of silver she sees has been getting bigger and bigger."
No, I have to keep this money safe for my precious daughter. Those little brats can't find out.
After wrapping the banknotes in layers of oiled paper,
He then put the oil paper package into a small earthenware jar, sealed the jar, pushed open the large bed, and opened the lid of the hole under the bed.
I just put the earthenware pot down, but then I realized it still didn't feel right.
Nowhere is safer than with my granddaughter.
So Huang took out the earthenware pot again, wrapped it in oil paper, put it in her bosom, said goodbye to her family, and said she was going back to Zhao Family Village.
The family looked at each other in bewilderment; their business was now busier than ever.
"Grandma, are you sure you have time to go back to the village when things are so busy at home?" Zhao Qingyi asked, puzzled.
Huang smoothed her hair.
“Look, our business is indeed booming every day, but our ingredients are too limited. I’m planning to go into the mountains to find my sweetheart.”
Let's see what other good ideas she has.
All of you combined aren't as smart as my precious daughter.
Putting everything else aside, all you know about is using well water to chill the juice.
I wonder if there are any other ways to cool the juice down.
Their heads are all just for show.
Zhao Qingyi felt very wronged by Huang's disparaging remarks.
"Grandma, we did mention using ice before, but you always disagreed. You said that using ice was too expensive, and a cup of fruit drink would cost no more than ten coins."
"Using ice? That's a waste; you'd have to pawn your pants."
Huang said disdainfully,
"You guys are stupid and you still don't believe me? Just wait until I go find my sweet girl, she'll definitely find a better way. It'll save you money and effort."
When faced with problems, they don't know how to use their brains, they only know how to pick up scraps, they're useless and they won't even let their old wives say a word.
Alright, stop looking all wronged.
If you're not smart enough, you need to work hard and quickly figure out what else you can use to make delicious food.
Okay. Zhao Qingyi wasn't upset anymore. According to her grandmother's logic, it seemed like she and her whole family weren't very smart.
Huang didn't care about any of that. After scolding the person, he took a string of copper coins and left.
Upon reaching the town entrance, I saw an oxcart going my way, so I got on, paid two coins, and arrived at Zhao Family Village.
I arrived home around noon.
At this time of day, it gets completely dark before we even reach the valley. Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.
I haven't been back to the village for a while, and my house is covered in a layer of dust.
I had just filled the water bottle and was about to wipe the table when there was a knock on the door.
The person who came was none other than Granny Ge from next door in the village.
This woman seems to have a short memory of past mistakes.
The last time she came to our house, it was a very unpleasant experience, and she actually came again today. Mrs. Huang really admired her courage.
"What are you doing here?" Huang asked coldly as she opened the courtyard gate.
Granny Ge acted out of character.
"Oh dear, auntie, it's been so long since I've seen anyone at your house, I just came over to check because I saw smoke coming out of your chimney."
I heard your family owns a shop in town and must be making a lot of money. Otherwise, why have you been so reluctant to come back to the village for so long?
We're all from the same village, so if you have any money-making opportunities, please share them. We're all from the same village…
Huang thought to herself,
"This Ge guy is probably not very bright. Why does he always say such thoughtless things every time he comes? Was he beaten too lightly, or not?"
Huang ignored her and continued with her work.
After speaking for a long time, Madam Ge thought that what she said made sense and that Madam Huang had listened to her. She was delighted and then got to the point.
"Auntie, your Qingyan isn't young anymore. I have a nephew on my mother's side."
He is quite handsome, his family owns more than 20 acres of land, and he is the eldest son in the family. He is 16 years old this year.
We're just missing a capable girl like your Qingyan to marry into our household. I'm here today to propose marriage for your Qingyan.
The two children are about the same age and look good. If your Qingyan marries into our Ge family, she'll truly be blessed.
Mrs. Huang simply couldn't listen anymore.
“I’m telling you, Ms. Ge, are you sure you’re not mistaken? My dear daughter is only 12 this year, and she’s still several years away from her coming-of-age ceremony.”
Your nephew is already 16; he should find a girl of similar age.
"You've been babbling on and on here for so long, what exactly do you want?"
Madam Ge felt offended, but since she was facing Madam Huang, she didn't dare to lose her temper and patiently said...
"Auntie, what you're saying is misleading. I was just trying to be helpful."
Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that your Qingyan is a shrew; who would dare to marry her?
It's just that I'm kind-hearted and thought of introducing my nephew to your daughter.
In a timid family, they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Auntie, don't you think about it? With your precious son, who would dare to marry him?
Our Ge family doesn't ask for much. As long as your family can afford a dowry of 50 taels of silver, I can persuade my nephew to marry your precious daughter.
Ge was still brazenly rambling on, and Huang finally felt she could no longer tolerate it.
He grabbed Ge's belt, lifted it up, and threw it out the door. Then he closed the door and continued working.
Ge was thrown out of the door, completely stunned. She never expected that she would be thrown out by Huang.
Feeling extremely wronged, she sat down at the Zhao family's door and burst into tears.
The loud noise attracted people.
The onlookers started asking questions one after another.
Ms. Ge began to explain her purpose for coming.
"Aunt Zhao looks down on my Ge family. Besides my Ge family, who else would dare to marry her precious son?"
"So powerful, if the couple had a fight, wouldn't she be afraid her precious little one would rip her head off in the middle of the night?"
Ms. Ge felt she was in the right and began to speak at length.
The onlookers all wore expressions that were hard to describe.
Sister-in-law Cuihua was a feisty woman to begin with, and after listening to Ge's incessant nagging, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Hey Ge, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see what kind of person you are? Don't you even think about what kind of family you have?"
Did a donkey kick your head, or did you get your head caught in a door frame?
You dare to say such arrogant things, and you even bring 50 taels of dowry? You're going to arrange a marriage for me?
You think you're all that, like some dog from the Ge family has climbed to the throne? You think you're so great?
Madam Huang didn't knock your head out because she's good-natured. Now get out of here.
If you keep nagging, and you anger Madam Huang, it won't be as simple as just throwing you out."
After Sister-in-law Cuihua finished scolding, she said to the people around her, "You can't marry into this woman's family in the future."
