An overwhelming sense of fear nearly overwhelmed everything. Lin stared at Lin Shouchai, "You're not kidding me, are you?"
Honestly, at this moment, a cold, vengeful glint gradually welled up in Lin's own eyes. Yes, if she could get rid of Sun Sanlang, she wouldn't have to live in fear anymore.
Looks like I really need a good younger brother. Good heavens, this is practically murder to silence me.
[The Lin family actually listened to that! Tsk tsk, what a good brother and sister.]
[This Lin Shoucai is a drunkard; can his words be taken seriously?]
Sun Sanlang is, in the end, a man who speaks without restraint. Now he has lost everything at the Red Beauty Gambling House, and he will surely come back to haunt her in the future.
Unfortunately, now that she's doing business in the capital, wouldn't it be easy for Sun Sanlang to find her? Lin bit her lip until she tasted blood, then squeezed out a word through her teeth.
"good!"
But silencing someone is a complicated matter. At this moment, Lin looked at her younger brother and saw that Lin Shoucai was still drunk. She knew that there would be no way to discuss this matter properly tonight.
"Alright, you're quite drunk right now, so take a rest. We'll talk about this later."
"Alright then." Lin Shoucai smiled and stumbled back. Lin Shi went to see her younger brother, but her mood was still not good. She was going to find Zheng Yutang, but little did she know that Zheng Yutang had not returned yet.
If you scold her, "This girl is getting more and more unreliable lately," she'll go to bed early.
On the other side, Zhiweitang was doing a booming business, and they were busy until nightfall. After seeing off the last batch of customers, everyone was exhausted. Heyi was worried that others would come to buy things, so she hurriedly said, "Close up quickly, we can't continue to serve customers today."
[The villainous female supporting character is really something; she made a few minor improvements and the business boomed.]
[Zhiweitang is far more powerful than that Tianxiangfang. I support the female lead... no, no, I support the villainous female supporting character in building her career.]
The staff were naturally worried that more guests might come, so they closed the door, both happy and tired.
That night, He Yi was overjoyed and reminded everyone to come early the next day before leaving with Qingju Liuyun and the others. Seeing that He Yi's Zhiweitang business was doing very well, Meican Niang was also very happy.
He Yi saw the beautiful silkworm girl holding a lantern coming to see her off, and she smiled slightly, "Alright, you don't need to see me off. You've been working so hard lately, and I still have something to tell you."
The beautiful silkworm girl nodded. "Please speak."
He Yi stared into her eyes, "You've been here with me for a month now, and we've all seen what you've done." Hearing this, Mei Can Niang was terrified and looked at He Yi in surprise, "I've been working diligently all this time, shopkeeper. If you feel I haven't done a good job, I'll keep trying. Please don't send me away!"
Seeing Meican Niang say this, Heyi smiled, pressed her hand, and gently reminded her, "Speaking of which, you do everything very well, sister. I didn't mean for you to leave..."
Hearing this, the beautiful silkworm girl breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes were still filled with astonishment. "Princess, what do you intend to do?"
"I'll pay you for your work. I can't let you do all this for nothing. You deserve more than them. Qingju says you're the best in everything." Hearing this, Meican Niang smiled shyly. "What would I do with money? I'm already very happy that you took me and my child in and that we can live here."
It seemed that the silkworm-making maid was indeed not going to take the money, but He Yi insisted, "Either I'll pay you your wages and you continue to work diligently, or you can leave as soon as you feel better. How about it?"
Meican Niang hesitated slightly, "Alright, I want my wages, but Princess, please don't give me too much. I'm very anxious, and my heart is not at peace."
He Yi smiled slightly, "It's only fair that you get paid according to the amount of work you do. Alright, stop haggling with me and go get some rest. I'm leaving now."
The silkworm-making woman had no choice but to nod.
The next morning, He Yi arrived just as dawn broke. Before she opened the door, there was no one there. But as soon as she opened the door, countless people rushed in. When He Yi saw the countless people, a joyful smile immediately appeared on her face.
After finishing his official business today, Zheng Yu made a special trip to check on the "results" at Zhiweitang. He had been busy here all day yesterday, and he was actually here to help out today.
Zheng Yu had just arrived at the entrance of Zhiweitang and hadn't even gone inside when he saw a beggar, dressed in tattered clothes and with unkempt hair, sitting against the wall not far away like a mad dog.
Zheng Yu ignored him. There were many beggars nearby, and he could have given them some pastries, but Zheng Yu noticed that this beggar's eyes were furtive, and he didn't like people like that.
Seeing her brother arrive, He Yi and Mei Can Niang carried the pastries out and placed them at the door while He Yi greeted Zheng Yu. Zheng Yu smiled and came to help.
“I’m perfectly fine. You can manage all the work. Just stay home and study hard. We’re hoping you’ll become the top scholar and make Dad happy.”
“Father doesn’t really want me to become an official, but what can he do? Father is unwell now, and if something goes wrong, things will get really complicated in the future.” Zheng Yu looked at He Yi.
He Yi smiled and said, "I've been very busy lately, so I could only have Qingju deliver the pastries back. I miss my father very much, so please convey my longing to him."
"That's right, Father was happy for you when he learned that you opened Zhiweitang." The two chatted with smiles, and Zheng Yu would occasionally look at the beautiful silkworm girl.
The beautiful silkworm girl was working with the little girl, and to her surprise, the little girl was very quick and efficient, and could be treated like an adult.
However, at that moment, the beggar from before suddenly rushed over. That damned beggar aimed directly at the display counter where He Yi and Mei Can Niang had just set up to showcase their new products.
He Yi was shocked and tried to stop him, but it was too late. She saw the beggar quickly grab a piece of durian pastry and stuff it into his mouth, wolfing it down.
Seeing this, Liu Yun cautiously approached He Yi and made a defensive move. As for Mei Can Niang, she hurriedly picked up the dirty pastries on the ground, preparing to give them to the beggar.
So it seems that the beggar was scrambling for food because he was really starving, and he probably also wanted to try He Yi's new products.
but……
The beggar had just eaten the durian pastry when he suddenly collapsed in front of He Yi and Liu Yun with a "plop," clutching his stomach and screaming in pain.
Hearing the beggar's agonizing screams, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered, He Yi felt something was off. She prepared to approach, but Zheng Yu and Liu Yun both gestured for her not to go any further.
At that moment, the beggar began to sob, "Ouch! It hurts so much! My stomach hurts terribly! Zheng Heyi, this is a rip-off!"
