It's because my younger sister used to only act spoiled in her mother's arms, so her mother would always shower her with praise as if it were free.
Hmm, then I should praise her more often in the future...
Thinking this, he found it difficult to say, but said with great determination, "My sister is also the best sister in the world!"
Xiao You Ran's eyes lit up, "Brother, you're going to be amazing in the future!"
Huh? So this mutual praise mode is really this pleasing to the eye?
Hehehe, it seems I need to learn more from my mother in the future. I should not only praise my sister, but also praise my mother.
He remembered something and asked, "Little sister, what did you mean by 'protective sister maniac' before?"
Xiao Youran chuckled, "A brother who's fiercely protective of his sister is someone who's obsessed with protecting her! He has to listen to his sister! He unconditionally believes that whatever his sister says is right, even if she's wrong! For example, these past few times, when the older brother was repeating what the baby said, he would instantly become a broken record at the right moment, which was really great!"
Jiang Youchen: ...
Isn't it just about trusting your sister and taking all the blame for her? It seems... I've been repeating what my sister said before, so this repeating function... isn't that hard to do!
Yes, he's made up his mind. From now on, he's going to be a fiercely protective brother!
The two little ones were whispering to each other, while the adults downstairs were already busy getting things done.
As several people came in to buy things, Zhou and her companions, lacking experience and not daring to cause trouble, let the waiter and two maids serve the guests, while they watched silently as if learning.
Guo and Yu were already incredibly excited, and they had already planned out the fabrics, bedding, and other items they would be taking with them.
Just then, a carriage stopped at the door, and a steward got out and said to the person inside, "Young master, please wait a moment."
Someone inside gave a faint "hmm".
"Oh, it's Steward Zhang! Please come in!" The waiter greeted him warmly as soon as he saw that it was an old acquaintance.
The visitor was none other than Steward Zhang, Wen Yuanbai's steward. He had ordered two new quilts a few days ago and came to pick them up.
Upon entering the house, he found several unfamiliar women propping their heads up behind the maids and watching. Upon closer inspection, he recognized one of them—wasn't she the head of the Kuang family from that day?
He stepped forward and greeted her casually, "Tian Kuang Niang."
As Zhou was watching the maid calculate the bill for a customer, she was suddenly called out and turned around. Her face lit up with a smile. "It's Steward Zhang! What are you buying today?"
When Butler Zhang heard her greeting, he felt a little strange, but he still answered truthfully, "I ordered two new quilts a couple of days ago, and I'm here today to pick them up."
Then Zhou quickly said to another maid, "Quickly, bring out the bedding that Steward Zhang ordered."
The maidservant responded and left, giving a curtsy in return.
Butler Zhang looked on in surprise, "Tian Kuang's mother, what's going on...?"
Zhou then raised her hand to smooth her temples, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Steward Zhang. Our whole family can't function without some way to make money. That's why we came to take a look today, and unexpectedly, this cloth shop happened to be selling at a low price, so we quickly took it over. You see, we're still figuring things out."
Steward Zhang was even more surprised, "Such a large cloth shop, it must cost at least three thousand taels to take it over, right?"
How could this family possibly have such a large sum of money?
When they first arrived in Sanyang Village two months ago, they were dirt poor and had to borrow grain from house to house.
It's impossible to have so much money in just one or two months.
However, I heard that a wealthy cousin came to their house. Could it be that she was the one who did it?
His gaze fell on the Su family member standing next to him.
Knowing what he was thinking, Zhou pulled him aside and looked around to make sure no one was watching before whispering, "To be honest, Steward Zhang, we only spent one hundred taels of silver on this cloth shop."
Butler Zhang was taken aback and almost blurted it out. He quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "How is this possible?" Even if a pie fell from the sky, there wouldn't be such a good thing!
Mrs. Zhou nodded, "We still find it hard to believe, but what can we do? We have our little lucky charm! Being with her is like having gold falling from the sky!"
She was completely convinced; wasn't that a silver ingot falling from the sky last night?
Today, as soon as we entered the city, a cloth shop that could make money fell from the sky. What else could it be but gold ingots?
To the steward's astonishment, the maid brought the new bedding he had requested and placed it on the cabinet.
Butler Zhang nodded to Madam Zhou, then went to the counter to settle the final payment. Afterwards, he carried the two quilts and walked out of the fabric shop with uneven steps.
He placed the bedding on the carriage shaft and sat there in a daze for a long time.
Nan Zhuo picked up the whip and asked curiously, "Steward Zhang, shall we go?"
Butler Zhang snapped out of his daze and turned to the carriage, saying, "Young Master, isn't it amazing? Such a large cloth shop, and they actually bought it for only one hundred taels of silver! My goodness, the inventory here is worth more than one hundred taels of silver!"
A gentle, youthful voice came from inside the car, "Who are they?"
Butler Zhang said, "It's that girl from Tian Kuang's family, the one who's rumored to be Fu Bao's little cousin!"
Nan Zhuo gave him a strange look. "That little kid bought a fabric shop?"
Butler Zhang slapped his thigh, "No, no, no, they refer to Tian Kuang's sisters-in-law and Xiao Fu Bao and his mother."
That's strange! Out of such a large group of people, why does he only remember that little baby?!
He suddenly remembered the little girl who shouted at them before they left that morning, "Cars will get flat tires if they see you."
Could it be that this little girl has the power to speak?
Thinking about it again, given my young master's unlucky constitution... should I...?
After thinking for a moment, he respectfully said to the man in the carriage, "Young master, this old servant just remembered that it's almost the New Year and I need to buy a few new clothes. Please wait a little longer."
Wen Yuanbai hummed in agreement and unconsciously reached out a finger to gently lift the carriage curtain.
To everyone's surprise, with just a gentle lift, a "ripping" sound was heard, and the carriage curtain was torn apart.
Nan Zhuo was already used to it. He chuckled twice and said, "Young Master, with your hands and feet that break everything you touch, it's best to avoid them."
Wen Yuanbai said irritably, "Why aren't you going to the cloth shop to cut a piece of cloth to change into?!"
Nan Zhuo jumped off the carriage in one swift motion, "Alright!"
He had long been very curious about how these women could have such great ability to take over such a large cloth shop with just one hundred taels of silver.
He had a gut feeling that it was definitely related to that magical little girl.
Wen Yuanbai looked up and saw the Jiang siblings looking out the second-floor window. He nodded and said, "I'll go in and take a look too."
Nan Zhuo immediately waved his hand, "No, young master, you've only fallen once today, there are still two more to come."
