Seeing that Uncle Ning had agreed, Jiang Yuwei said goodbye to them and drove the oxcart to the small courtyard.
With the important matters resolved, all that was left was to take everyone to the shop to set up the products tomorrow. Jiang Yuwei was planning tomorrow's schedule when she suddenly heard a scream:
"Hey, what are you doing? Can't you watch where you're going? You almost bumped into me!"
Jiang Yuwei looked up and saw no one. She looked to her left and right, but there was no one there either. Jiang Yuwei felt that something was wrong, so she turned around and saw Xu Qianqian holding a handkerchief in her hand, pointing angrily at Jiang Yuwei.
Jiang Yuwei was speechless for a moment:
"If you're trying to extort money, at least think it through, okay? You're behind me, and I'm in front of you. How could my oxcart have hit you? Do you think my ox walks backwards?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian immediately walked around to Jiang Yuwei and blocked her path, angrily saying:
"You'd better watch out, or if you break me, my master Xu won't let you off the hook!"
Jiang Yuwei asked with great interest after hearing this:
"Master Xu? Which Master Xu?"
Seeing this, Xu Qianqian raised her head arrogantly and said:
"Naturally, it's that Mr. Xu you met last time. He's a wealthy man in Ping'an Town. He could crush you with a flick of his finger."
Jiang Yuwei pretended to think for a moment and then smiled:
"Oh, I remember now, he's that old geezer you brought back to the village last time. I just saw him yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian immediately perked up and hurriedly asked:
"How did you meet Master Xu? Where did you see him? Is she alright?"
Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow, puzzled:
"Don't you know whether your Master Xu is good or not? Why are you asking me instead? I ran into him at the old lady's birthday banquet yesterday, but his story is a little different from yours."
Xu Qianqian hurriedly asked:
"How is it different? Tell me quickly!"
Jiang Yuwei pouted and said unwillingly:
Is this how you treat someone when you need to ask for their help? Besides, why should I tell you?
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Xu Qianqian blushed and stammered, "..."
"Well, just tell me. If you tell me, I won't tell Mr. Xu about how you almost hit me."
Jiang Yuwei burst out laughing upon seeing this:
"Hahaha, you call yourself Master Xu? Don't get fooled and end up counting your money for someone else. Oh well, we're from the same village after all, so I might as well tell you. The Master Xu you're talking about is a fake. He's just a servant in the Xu family mansion in Ping'an Town."
Xu Qianqian opened her mouth wide in disbelief, and in her excitement, she lost her footing and took a few steps back.
"I don't believe you. Stop talking nonsense. Master Xu clearly..."
Jiang Yuwei was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. She'd already given her the information; whether she believed it or not was up to her. So she waved her hand impatiently and said:
"Alright, move aside. Believe it or not, at worst you can secretly go to Ping'an Town to find out who Master Xu of the Xu family is, or you can just stake out the gate of the Xu family and see what your Master Xu does."
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei didn't seem to be lying to her, Xu Qianqian couldn't wait any longer and turned to walk towards Ping'an Town. Jiang Yuwei watched her retreating figure and sighed helplessly:
"This woman is really foolish. She always tries to climb up to men, but she doesn't know whether she's met a ghost or a god."
When Jiang Yuwei drove the oxcart back to the courtyard, Ning Daya had already prepared the meal. Jiang Yuwei drove the oxcart to the backyard and then ate in the front yard.
Looking at Ning Daya's increasingly improved cooking skills, Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but nod in praise:
"Now that Daya can stand on her own, I feel quite at ease leaving the household chores to you and Tiezhu."
Ning Daya smiled happily when Jiang Yuwei praised her:
"Sister Yuwei taught me the best."
Jiang Yuwei placed a piece of meat on Ning Daya's plate and said:
“Da Ya, tomorrow you and Ning Qiu will come with me to town to set up our shop. I’ll also teach you some sales pitches for selling paper. Our shop will be opening in the next few days, and we’ll probably have to arrange for you two to go to town with Uncle Ning Wu’s oxcart every day.”
Ning Daya nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, saying:
"Okay, Sister Yuwei, I will definitely do my best."
After everyone finished eating, they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
next day
Jiang Yuwei got up early and loaded the goods onto the truck one by one. Then she turned to Tiezhu and instructed him:
"Tiezhu, today you, Ningwu, and Zhang Guang from Tianhe will still be in charge of making paper. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhou will sew tote bags according to the patterns I gave them. These are for our opening day, so we need at least a hundred. Tell them to hurry up and make them. When Ningqiu and the others come back, they can help us finish the work."
After giving the instructions, he called Ning Qiu and Ning Daya, then carried Xiao Hei onto the oxcart. Ning Huaizhi was in charge of driving, and the group quickly arrived at the shop entrance.
Seeing that the simpleton had already opened the shop door and was cleaning inside, Jiang Yuwei was very pleased. She then personally handed Xiao Hei to the simpleton and said:
"Fool, why don't you go to the backyard and build a doghouse for Xiao Hei? You can let Xiao Hei stay here and keep you company while you run the shop, okay?"
The fool picked up Little Black and nodded happily, then suddenly remembered something and looked up at Jiang Yuwei, saying:
"I'm hungry, where's the food you brought?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and took out a few steamed buns from her bundle and handed them to the fool. The fool quickly took the buns and happily went to the backyard to busy himself.
Jiang Yuwei then directed Ning Qiu and Ning Daya to unload all the papers from the cart and drive the oxcart to the backyard.
Ning Huaizhi slowly got off the oxcart and sat in his wheelchair. Since he started treating his leg with Doctor Lin, he can do many simple things by himself and no longer needs Jiang Yuwei's help for everything. At least now he can go to the toilet independently.
While designing the product placement, Jiang Yuwei explained the uses of the products and the names of the different series to Ning Qiu and the others. The three of them worked all morning to arrange all the goods.
Jiang Yuwei asked Ning Qiu, Ning Daya, and the idiot to stay in the store to familiarize themselves with the products and practice their product introductions. She then pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair to Huichuntang and asked Doctor Lin to treat his leg first.
After arranging Ning Huaizhi's affairs, Jiang Yuwei thought that Ning Zhao would also be taking a day off today, so she should go and buy some food. She would have lunch at the shop and then go back to treat Ning Zhao properly in the evening. So she went to the deli and picked out a few things that Ning Zhao liked to eat to pack and take back to the shop.
Jiang Yuwei had prepared lunch in the backyard. Seeing that Ning Zhao had not returned yet, she thought of going to pick him up. However, as soon as Jiang Yuwei stepped out of the shop, she saw Young Master Ge and several servants surrounding Ning Zhao and Ning Chen.
