"You're back!" Jiang Qiao'er rushed over and grabbed her. Jiang San Niang was more composed. Although she wasn't as composed as Jiang Qiao'er, she also looked over at her, clearly relieved.
"Why did Zhang Jingwen ask you to come over? What did you two talk about? Did she invite you to dinner?" Jiang Qiao'er bombarded her with questions like a machine gun.
While asking questions, he looked Bai Nuo up and down. Seeing that Bai Nuo was alright, he was relieved and clicked his tongue twice in admiration, "I always thought that these rich people would be scary. It seems that Miss Zhang is quite nice."
"Isn't this good at all?" Bai Nuo pouted. No matter what, she had completely offended Zhang Jingwen this time—no, she should say she had completely offended the Zhang family. What kind of karma had she created? She hadn't even made any money yet, and she was already offending people everywhere.
"What does Miss Zhang want with you?" Jiang Sanniang frowned at Bai Nuo. "How did you end up getting involved with Zhang Jingwen?" Jiang Sanniang was an adult, and she had seen how Bai Nuo had always conducted business. She didn't think that Zhang Jingwen and Bai Nuo had any connection or had become good friends. Why would Zhang Jingwen suddenly come to ask her to have dinner?
"Don't even mention it, I'm so unlucky," Bai Nuo said with a distressed expression as she recounted what had happened. "She's taken a liking to my pearl bracelet and wants to recruit me into her scheme."
"That's a good thing!" Jiang Qiao'er said immediately. "Go ahead and join us. Being able to cooperate with the Zhang family is something that many people in this town would never even dream of. Zhang Jingwen actually took the initiative to recruit you."
"No, Qiao'er, it's not like that. Bai Nuo, you shouldn't cooperate with the Zhang family anymore. Why did you have to give that pearl bracelet to Li Jinyu?" Knowing that Li Jinyu and Zhang Jingwen were fighting over the bracelet, and that Zhang Jingwen would definitely be paying attention while Li Jinyu was searching for it, Bai Nuo still went to the trouble of sending the pearl over at this time. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?
"Miscalculation, miscalculation..." Bai Nuo said embarrassedly, "I'm short of money lately, that's why I was in such a hurry." If it weren't for Grandma's incident, Bai Nuo might have taken her time, but now that Grandma is in trouble, she needs even more money, so... But who would have thought that Zhang Jingwen would actually be able to touch her?
"Why?" Jiang Qiao'er asked in confusion after hearing Jiang San Niang's words. She still didn't quite understand why she couldn't cooperate with Zhang Jingwen. Wouldn't it be better to cooperate with Zhang Jingwen? Why not?
"Because I'm not qualified!" Faced with Jiang Qiao'er's question, Jiang San Niang wanted to speak, but before she could say anything, Bai Nuo said it.
Jiang San Niang had no choice but to nod.
“Zhang Jingwen’s invitation to Bai Nuo to cooperate should only be Zhang Jingwen’s own idea…” Jiang San Niang continued Bai Nuo’s words, “Otherwise, it wouldn’t be Zhang Jingwen who came to find Bai Nuo, it should be the head of the Zhang family or the eldest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Wu. But the head of the Zhang family did not appear, and Zhang Wu was nowhere to be found, so cooperating with Bai Nuo is probably Zhang Jingwen’s own idea. The Zhang family may not be willing.”
"But it's certain they want my pearls." Bai Nuo thought that the Zhang family probably also liked pearls, otherwise Zhang Jingwen wouldn't have had this idea.
“Yes!” Jiang San Niang nodded. “That’s why cooperation is even more impossible.” Bai Nuo has nothing; she’s just a village girl. If she’s deceived by the Zhang family or if the Zhang family intends to take away Bai Nuo’s things, Bai Nuo will have no room to resist.
Because the two were far too mismatched in strength, Bai Nuo was unable to resist.
“So…” Bai Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that her thoughts were still on the same wavelength as Jiang San Niang’s. “Sister San Niang, I won’t be able to sell you pearls for a while…”
Not only would she not sell it, but if Jiang San Niang hadn't gotten rid of the pearl, Bai Nuo would have advised her to sell it as soon as possible, as keeping the pearl would only cause trouble.
Only when Zhang Jingwen gave up the idea did Bai Nuo dare to take out the pearl.
"It's alright!" Jiang San Niang laughed. "Just be careful. If you don't want to buy pearls, we can sell cloth. Let's wait a bit. Zhang Jingwen is a young lady, not a businesswoman. She might change her mind soon."
"I hope so..."
After explaining things to Jiang San Niang, Bai Nuo had nothing else to do in the town. She wanted to see where she could hire someone, but there wasn't enough time, so she simply went home.
When they got home, it was still early. Bai Yu was quite surprised to see Bai Nuo back so early. "Why are you back so early? Where's the basket?"
"I didn't go to sell anything!" Bai Nuo walked into the room. The old woman was sitting on the bed with a needle and thread in her hand. She was surprised to see Bai Nuo return. "You're back so early?"
“Yes, Grandma, who are you making clothes for?” Bai Nuo sat down on the edge of the bed, propping her chin up with one hand as she watched Grandma make clothes.
"I made this for you!" The old woman held the clothes up to Bai Nuo's face, "See if it fits..."
Bai Nuo looked down at the old woman's hand in front of her and smiled happily. "It suits you very well, Grandma. Your skills are amazing. It's a pity that I don't have your skills. I don't know when I will be able to reach your level."
The red fabric, the old lady just started making it, and even without measuring Bai Nuo's size, the old lady could make it just right.
"I told you to learn, but you wouldn't. Now you regret it, don't you?" The old woman gave Bai Nuo a reproachful look. "You've been running around like a wild boy, of course you'll never learn anything."
Bai Nuo chuckled awkwardly. How could the old woman know? She was a person whose soul had been replaced. Even if the original body could do it, she couldn't now. The appearance was the same, but the heart was different; she was a completely new person.
