Luo Manman took out two whole strings of copper coins from his money bag and gave it to him: "Then thank you Big Brother Zhu, it's exactly two hundred coins, you can count it."

"Alright, what are you counting? Can you not count me in?"

"Hehe, Big Brother Zhu is truly a straightforward person. Oh right, did you not sleep well last night? Why doze off so early in the morning? "

"Don't mention it. There's an extra kid at home. It's only been a month or so, and he's been crying all night. It's so noisy that people can't sleep all night?"

Zhu Xiaokang's face was filled with helplessness and happiness. He only came out to set up a pork stall everyday because he didn't have much time to eat with his mouth open.

"It's a good thing that sister-in-law has given birth to another one. It's a man and a woman?" Congratulations. "

"The boss is a boy, this little girl is a girl." Zhu Xiaokang laughed.

"It's so good to have girls and girls here. Big Brother Zhu, why can't others be envious of your luck? "Then busy yourself. I'll leave first and come to the Xiao family when I have time." Luo Manman waved and left.

After leaving the pork stall, Luo Manman bought a basket full of vegetables, including winter melon, pumpkins, vegetables, and a bag of rice.

After bringing all of these things onto the ox-cart, Luo Manman was already exhausted to the point of gasping for breath. Luckily the restaurant brought the rice over with them, otherwise, she would not be able to carry it by herself.

"Xiao Family Wife bought so many things." Big Uncle Zhang immediately took the basket and helped him carry it to the oxcart.

"That's right, but with so many dishes, we'll probably finish them in a day or two. It'll be tiring just thinking about coming back to town the day after tomorrow." Luo Manman wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Xiao Family Wife, how about this, you can go to those families and order some food later. I will go to the town to get some fresh food and meat for you every day or the next day, so that you don't have to run back and forth."

"That's a good idea." Luo Manman's eyes lit up when she heard it: "Then thank you, Big Uncle Zhang."

Big Uncle Zhang laughed, "Don't be so polite, the car money you gave me was even worth half a month's worth of my income, I am happy but I did not have the time."

He was an honest man, and he knew how to be content with what he had. After all, he had taken too much money, so he didn't do anything. Instead, he felt uneasy in his heart.

With Old Uncle Zhang's cart, Luo Manman did not have to worry about the supply of food for the next few days. She thanked Old Uncle Zhang and stuffed a dozen or so copper coins into Old Uncle Zhang's cart.

"Big Uncle Zhang, I still want to take a look around. Can you wait for me to take the ox-cart back for lunch later?"

"Alright, alright, Xiao Family Wife, this is no problem." Old Uncle Zhang thanked him happily.

The town was still bustling with life, and there were also a lot of pedestrians. The shops on both sides of the street were lined with rows upon rows of shops, and without the bustling flow of hawkers, it seemed much more orderly.

He didn't know which street they were on, but there was an elegantly decorated shop right in front of him. The sign was decorated with the words' Beautiful Hall '. The shop assistant inside looked to be in good spirits and was enthusiastically entertaining the customers.

This seemed to be the last time Qian Jingui and Luo Hua City Mistress had worked together. She didn't want to get into any unnecessary trouble because of money.

On the other side of the street, Qian Jingui was wearing a deep purple colored robe as she walked over. The purple colored clothes accentuated his noble aura.

Luo Manman still said that she did not like him, then what would happen if she stood outside his shop and looked around? His eyes that had lost its luster these few days began to look around in anticipation. He hastened his steps and walked in front of her. Looking at her delicate and pretty face, she said gently, "Manman …"

"Why are you here?" Luo Manman was shocked.

"I'm fine at home, I'll definitely wander back and forth between the bunks every day. What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you, Manman …" Qian Jingui's clear and bright voice made people feel numb.

"Cough …" I was just passing by, don't misunderstand. "

"Manman, the aloe formula you mentioned is really good. I've prepared it for the servants to try, and the effect is really good. The store is already supplying it, and the customers also say that this new formula is more useful. Do you want to take a look?"

"No need, I believe you will do very well. This is a piece of cake for you." Luo Manman's tone was a bit cold, as she rejected the chance to cross paths with him.

"Oh right, every month's bonus, you help me store it in the bank and hang my name there. I will naturally get it. This is our last collaboration."

"Why? Business is business, emotion is emotion. I believe you aren't such an indistinct person? "

We are not people of the same world, and I do not wish to intrude into your world, much less harm Xiao Yiming.

"Luo Manman's resolute tone sounded softly, which made Qian Jingui feel extremely uncomfortable, as though it was thunder from a clear sky.

"Manman, I … I'm sorry … "I was too reckless, business is business, it should be your bonus, I won't be harsh on you, I hope we still have a chance to work together."

This was the first time in Qian Jingui's life that she apologized to others. Inwardly, she was frustrated, her recklessness had pushed the woman she liked further and further away, but Luo Manman was different from normal girls. He had to think of another way, otherwise, the distance between the two of them would grow wider.

However, Xiao Yiming was very sensitive, he was afraid that he would get jealous. Previously, she did not have the money or power to borrow Qian Jingui's body to open up a market, but now, he could do it on his own.

Seeing that he wanted to say more, Luo Manman coldly spat out:

Don't talk about it anymore, I was almost killed by you, and I was also almost responsible for killing others. You and I will stop here, I will split this year's bonus. From next year on, no matter how much you earn or how little you earn, we will not owe each other anything.

The profit for the first half of the year was the highest for new products.

"Oh right, you have three shop assistants, right? I suggest you hire a good-looking female worker. The three of them wear the same uniform. Firstly, it will enhance your store's image, and secondly, it will refresh the customers."

After Luo Manman said this, she quickly walked away, afraid that the "ferocious beasts" behind him would catch up.

Qian Jingui applauded her new suggestion as she stared at her lonely back. Was this girl really not related to him in the end?

In the living room of the Qian house

Crackling sounds could be heard along with the sound of tea leaves falling onto the ground …

"Madam, please calm your anger and don't ruin your body." The butler was scared and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Did you see that woman's appearance clearly?" I can't allow this child to do whatever he wants. He finally married my wife and gave up on her without a second thought. Did he ask me, his mother, for advice? His wings had really hardened!

A while ago, the old man had even praised the old man's business acumen and developed a new domain for the Qian family … I thought that the two of us elders would be able to feel at ease this time, but it turns out that you're doing this again, are you trying to anger me to death? "

After hearing the butler's report, Lady Qian was so angry that her body trembled.

The housekeeper had always been one of Lady Qian's confidants, so he cautiously interrupted and said respectfully, "Madam, didn't you dislike that cuckoo before?"

Lady Qian's expression was gloomy. She sighed, "I don't really like her, but she is still the daughter-in-law that the old gramps wishes to betroth himself to. I don't want to give the old master any face, but I can't do anything without interfering now."

The steward had been working in the Qian House for more than ten years. He had been working from an ordinary servant to this position. Naturally, he had his own opinions.

"But young master likes Miss Luo very much. Without burying Madam, many of the prescriptions for the pretty hall in young master's shop were provided by young lady Luo. Such a talented young lady with talent for business can only be found in the Qian family, and young master is someone who can accomplish important things. In the future, there will be three wives and four concubines …"

The butler kept quiet at the right time. Lady Qian's face lit up. She thought for a moment and said, "Does that mean you have a beautiful matter to attend to? "Follow closely and get to know that girl's background. When the time comes, I will personally meet her."

"Madam, please be at ease. If anything new happens, this old servant will definitely inform you in time." The butler wiped off his sweat.

After purchasing all the things he needed to buy in the morning, Luo Manman was just about to go back when a shop assistant came over with a smile on his face: "Young lady, I have finally found you, my family's boss has a treat?"

"Boss?" Luo Manman thought for a moment, she did not know the man in front of him: "I still have things to do, next time is fine."

Luo Manman had not walked far when she saw a middle-aged man walking over. The man's heavy voice was loud and clear: "Your bearing is quite big, young lady. "You're not giving me any face?"

The middle-aged man standing in front of her had a big stomach and wore a brown robe. He had a dark green belt tied around his waist, and a round face hung a smile on Zou Mei's face.

Luo Manman quickly searched through her memories and suddenly had a certain impression. "Are you the Boss Qiu of Xiang Zhu?"

The light in Boss Qiu's eyes lit up, "Miss, I am in front of your bed, please take a seat."

"Since the Boss Qiu is so hospitable, then I will accept it." Luo Manman followed the shop door and entered the backyard. The shop assistant had very good eyesight, after the two of them sat down, he immediately served them tea and snacks.

Ever since Boss Qiu missed that opportunity, he instructed the servants to pay extra attention to the movements in the town. As soon as they saw the mysterious lady again, they immediately came to report.

"Miss, I'm being a bit presumptuous. Come, have some tea and have some snacks. This was specially made by my wife. How about a taste?" Boss Qiu smiled brilliantly at her. Don't underestimate this village girl, she was a gold mine.

Her pure white fingers took the cake that was almost in front of her, tasted it, then nodded and said: "As expected, it's not bad. However, Boss Qiu, if you have something to say, just say it. I am a straightforward person, and do not like to play dumb puzzles! "

Luo Manman did not forget the cowardly look she had when she bumped into the wall.

Sure enough, his face showed some anxiety, but he did not reveal it at all. He wanted to work with this village girl, and thought highly of her.

"Surely the girl must know of the new beauty hall in this town? "Good heavens! Ever since this dark horse had charged in, the share of my old name, the Pearl of Xiang, has dropped quite a bit …"
