Bai Nuo originally wanted to invite a few people, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was more reliable to hold onto the other party's indenture.
That way, you won't be afraid of others telling anyone.
Lu Ying glanced at Bai Nuo, then at Hu Mingmei. Seeing that Hu Mingmei had no objections to Bai Nuo's instructions and even seemed to take it for granted, Lu Ying began to regard Bai Nuo as her mistress and responded with even greater respect.
Although she was running around, Lu Ying had no complaints at this moment. She wiped her sweat and went out.
Hu Mingmei lowered her eyes, her mind racing, and suddenly called out to Xia Donglai.
Xia Donglai appeared silently beside him.
"Go and spread the word to a few small workshops here, tell them we want to cooperate with them!" Hu Mingmei said.
"Cooperation?" Xia Donglai left after receiving the order, leaving Bai Nuo completely bewildered. "Cooperate with whom?"
"Our home!"
"You want your family to make money?" Bai Nuo asked. Although she didn't know what the Hu family's small workshop did, she knew that if she wanted to expand her business, she would definitely need to cooperate with others.
After hearing Hu Mingmei's words, Bai Nuo naturally assumed that Hu Mingmei wanted to make money for his own people.
"No!" Hu Mingmei denied solemnly, "I want to take them all back!"
Bai Nuo nodded in sudden realization; she knew what Hu Mingmei was trying to do. "But you have to pay for it! I don't have any money!"
"Um!"
After discussing everything, Bai Nuo finally relaxed a little. She decided not to move yet and leave the new house empty. Anyway, it was very close to the new house, and she could go and check on it every day without worrying about being targeted by thieves. The three people could stay and watch the house for now, and someone would need to clean it occasionally.
It was already noon when Bai Nuo returned. After having lunch with Hu Mingmei, Lu Ying acted quickly. Just as she opened the shop door, Lu Ying returned with her people.
People from the brokerage firm also arrived at the same time.
But Bai Nuo still wasn't satisfied with the people in front of her.
There was no particular reason, she just felt that they all looked bad. Although they were tall and skilled in martial arts, she didn't feel comfortable looking at any of them. Bai Nuo wasn't judging people by their appearance; she was just instinctively sensing their presence.
Therefore, Bai Nuo didn't want any of them. These people made him uncomfortable, and Bai Nuo didn't dare to use them, after all, he was entrusting his life and fortune to them.
The matchmaker promised to send another candidate over in the next few days, even though they couldn't find a suitable replacement.
Time flies. Busy here and there, it was soon afternoon. Bai Nuo glanced at the hourglass and realized it was time to leave work. So, Bai Nuo and Hu Mingmei left the curio cabinet to Lu Ying and went to buy groceries.
Today must be market day, the town is packed with people, selling things and strolling around, the whole street is very lively, people are shoulder to shoulder, people are crowded together, you can easily get separated.
Having no other choice, Hu Mingmei had to hold Bai Nuo's hand. Normally, the two of them were very well-behaved in public, and Hu Mingmei would only touch Bai Nuo inappropriately when no one was around. But today, he had no choice but to hold Bai Nuo's hand in public.
Bai Nuo didn't think much of it, but she felt that Hu Mingmei's gaze was even more profound.
The two of them went to buy groceries and then squeezed out. Hu Mingmei was incredibly tall, and he carried everything so that Bai Nuo could walk properly.
With so many people around, I don't know if something might happen!
Bai Nuo was thinking about this inexplicably when she saw a carriage moving back and forth in front of her. People were also dodging and weaving around it. The street was only so big, and it was usually fine, but today there were so many people, no matter who they were, that the street seemed particularly small. To avoid the carriage, people were even stepping on the things on the stalls.
"Excuse me!" The horse turned its head and was about to kiss an old man. The old man stared straight at the horse's head and subconsciously stepped back, stepping directly on the vegetables that someone was selling.
The shop owner was unhappy when someone stepped on his things. He yelled and pushed the old man away a bit.
Now things have gotten really complicated. The old woman was about to get right up to the horse's head. The horse, seeing someone about to get close, snorted, and the driver shouted, "Old woman, move aside! Don't block the way!"
The old lady was so startled by the horse that she fell down onto the vegetable stall and couldn't get up.
The small business owner immediately started cursing.
The cart driver quickly pulled the horse back.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you trying to cause trouble?"
These things happened right before her eyes. Bai Nuo watched helplessly as the scene turned chaotic, and her heart skipped a beat.
Good heavens, she only thought about it for a moment, how could something really happen? Was she a jinx? Or did her wish come true?
But as they watched, something seemed amiss. Many people passed by, but no one offered to help the old woman. She was wailing on the ground when Bai Nuo couldn't bear it any longer and went over to help her up.
"You old woman, what's wrong with you? What am I going to do with all these vegetables?" The vegetable vendor wouldn't give up. "Pay me money, you can't leave without paying me!"
Then he grabbed Bai Nuo and asked fiercely, "Are you family? Damn it, you old hag, don't come out now. You're just causing trouble. What about my vegetables? You can't leave without paying compensation!"
