Xiaoxiao was stunned. Oh, as expected, when Shopkeeper Liu was mentioned, this Stingy Xu immediately became generous. It was almost 1 tael, right?
“Of course it’s enough. The two of you can just wait to eat delicious food.”
After thinking for a while, she muttered a few more words to Shopkeeper Xu. The more she spoke, the more cunning Shopkeeper Xu’s expression became. In the end, he even chuckled evilly. Xiaoxiao shook the silver. “This suggestion is a friendly reminder. There’s no charge.” Then, she left happily.
She found her family at the place where she, Big Brother, and Second Brother often stayed. Xiaoxiao started to buy flour, wheat flour, corn flour, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pork, and so on. There were also all kinds of seasonings and spices. The ingredients she bought were all varied and piled up on a large scale, making Ning Fengnian and Madam Song speechless.
“Why? Why did you buy so many things?”
Moreover, where did their daughter get the money?
Xiaoxiao blinked innocently. “Oh, the shopkeeper of the Fragrance Restaurant asked me to buy this to study the new dishes. If 1 succeed, we can still do business with them in the future.”
Madam Song looked at her expectantly. Xiaoxiao did not disappoint them. She took out the new needles, thread, and embroidered cloth from the cart and handed them to her mother. Madam Song took a look at them and immediately loved them. “No wonder 1 have to give her a deposit. This cloth is too beautiful.”
Xiaoxiao smiled calmly. “Shopkeeper Liu asked Mother to embroider a screen for her. She told me the size and requirements.”
Yesterday, she still felt that there was no hope in life. Today, those problems were resolved by themselves. Ning Fengnian and his wife could not stop smiling, so Xiaoxiao stopped smiling to scare her mother.
“This can’t be spread outside!”
She emphasized, “Otherwise, you’ll lose even more!”
Madam Song was frightened. She hurriedly discussed with Ning Fengnian to buy another lock. She would lock the door as soon as she left the house.
Xiaoxiao sighed and looked at her eldest brother and second brother worriedly. “If Second Aunt and the others in the old residence find out that we don’t have to lose money and can still continue doing business with the Fragrance Restaurant, will they immediately pester us again? Will they use our family’s things to pay for any of their trouble in the future?”
Ning Dalang and Ning Erlang turned to look at their father tacitly. Ning Fengnian was a little embarrassed, but he replied firmly, “No, they can’t take anything from us from now on.”
Xiaoxiao was relieved to hear this. She put on a pitiful look again. “But Father, Xiaoxiao is afraid. If they come to cause trouble again and Second Aunt complains that her stomach hurts, we won’t be able to explain it even if we have a mouth. So, can we not let them know?”
She pinched Ning Fengnian’s sleeve and shook it. “After we return to Fortune Village, we’ll announce to the public that we still owe a debt. Mother will make embroidery products to repay the debt, okay?”
Ning Erlang:… Oh, its her. Its their sister who tricked them! He was deceived by her expression and listened to everything she said! God, Father must be fooled! Otherwise, he would be so lonely being the only one tricked!
It was unknown if the heavens really heard Ning Erlang’s thoughts, but Ning Fengnian agreed readily. “Alright, we’ll do as Xiaoxiao says!”
Xiaoxiao immediately bent over with a smile and her mouth was as sweet as honey. “Father is the best!”
Seeing that Second Brother’s face seemed to be filled with dissatisfaction, she leaned over and praised them one by one. “Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Mother are the best too. Let’s go home and let me, the best daughter, cook a delicious meal for all of you!”
Now, as long as the old residence could do as she expected, the Ning Family really did not have to worry about these “top-notch” relatives in the future.
Elsewhere, Rong Yan looked at the empty Ning Family’s house and heard Yun Yi report. “Master, I was guarding the roof of the old residence last night and heard from this group of selfish people that they were worried that Miss Ning’s family would implicate them if they didn’t pay the 20 taels in a year. This morning, the second son of the Ning Family couldn’t even care less about his injuries. He limped as he went to the county office to report the separation.”
He asked, “Do you want me to put a sack on him and beat him up on the way?”
Rong Yan glanced at him. “Let him go to the government office first..”
