Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 89 Sweetness
Jiang Yihuan threw herself into Xiao Yanci's arms, sobbing.

After crying for a while, she heard someone coming over, and quickly pulled herself out of his arms, shyly glancing at Xiao Yanci opposite her.

Xiao Yanci smelled the fragrance in his arms, but it disappeared as soon as he touched it. The old man guarding the gate really had no tact.

"Brother Xiao, thank you. I'm lucky to have you. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would do." Jiang Yihuan said, "Consider this banknote as a loan. I will return it to you later."

"What's mine is yours, don't be so formal with me."

"With the silver you lent me, I won't go to the embroidery workshop to work for now. I heard that the manager of the embroidery workshop always likes to bully young women, and I'm actually quite afraid of it. If I hadn't been forced, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure. Although ten taels of silver is far from enough to repay our debt, paying it back to that person first will at least appease him for a while. Then my mother and I will work hard to earn money by embroidering."

"Leave the silver issue to me, I'll find a way. Don't take any risks. If you run into bad guys, you'll be helpless, young and beautiful as you are."

The old man guarding the gate reminded Xiao Yanci that it was time to go in, otherwise the teacher wouldn't be able to find him later. Xiao Yanci gave Jiang Yihuan a few instructions, looking back every few steps, and then reluctantly entered the academy.

Jiang Yihuan watched Xiao Yanci go in, and the reluctance and affection on her face disappeared. She saluted the old man guarding the door, lifted her skirt, and left the place gracefully.

Only ten taels of silver...

Ten taels of silver could rent a store, but after renting the store, money would be needed for other things. These ten taels of silver were not enough, so she had to ask other men for money.

Jiang Yihuan thought about the Su family's move to the city to open a shop. For some reason, she just didn't want to be outdone by Su Yaoguang. Previously, when her mother and Zhang Zhaodi had faced off, she hadn't taken it seriously. Whether it was her looks or her figure, or even her offspring and earning power, how could Zhang Zhaodi compare to her mother? Her mother didn't even need to take her seriously. In her opinion, such a woman wasn't even worthy of being a rival.

However, the Su family's fortunes grew, and they even opened a store in the city within a short period of time. This brought out her inherent competitive spirit. The villagers praised Su Yaoguang, unlike before when everyone praised her and her daughter. This displeased Jiang Yihuan, who had grown up accustomed to being praised.

Su Yaoguang looked at the decoration of the store and praised the craftsman's craftsmanship: "Master Liu, you are worthy of being a master. This change just hits the spot in my mind."

"I'm glad you like it. Well, gentlemen, now that the goods have been delivered, we'll take our leave. If you have any other instructions in the future, just come to me!"

"Okay, okay, thank you very much." Zhang Zhaodi saw Master Liu out.

Chun'e came in from outside and looked at the newly renovated store with admiration in her eyes: "This store is already large, and after your renovation, it looks a lot more elegant."

"The second floor is a rest area for the ladies, where they can try out all sorts of new products. The first floor is the sales area, with skincare, haircare, and a variety of perfumes and ointments. They're arranged in different areas according to their categories, and everyone can freely choose the scent they like." Su Yaoguang said, "When the time comes, we'll host them separately, with each person in charge of one area."

"When are you planning to open the business?" Chun'e asked. "I'll have to give you a big gift and attend the opening banquet."

"Let's wait three days and prepare a bit more," Su Yaoguang said. "We've been contacting the flower material vendor recently. Once we've contacted the suppliers of the next production materials, we'll open right away." "What's that small room for?"

"That's the small clinic I prepared for Jing'er. If anyone wants to see Jing'er, they can go there. They won't be disturbed by others, and they won't disturb others either."

"That's a teahouse over there. We'll invite a few tea masters who are good at making tea. The ladies upstairs are honored guests, and we can't entertain them without good tea and snacks. As for the individual customers down there, let's not talk about them. They buy something and leave, and there are so many people coming in and out that it's hard for us to entertain so many people."

"Our residence is in the back. The backyard is huge, so we'll divide it into two parts. One part will be used to grow vegetables and fruits, which will save us some money on food. The other part will be used to grow flowers, turning this place into a paradise for flowers. This way, we can not only provide some flowers ourselves, but also beautify our shop. Do you see the decorations on the wall? Those can be used to grow flowers, so the shop can be filled with flowers."

"It's so nice here, I want to stay here forever." Chun'e said, "But I came to see you for something important. Do you remember my cousin?"

"Remember, the one who said they were going to get married last time, but something unexpected happened."

"Yes, that's her. That man disliked her acne and changed his mind at the last minute, making her a laughing stock. Last time you gave her a bottle of scar removal cream, and now her skin is as smooth as tofu. People who come to propose marriage are almost breaking down her doorstep." Chun'e said, stuffing the thing in her hand into her. "This is my aunt's gift to me, saying it's a thank you gift. Don't worry, it's just a small gift from my family, not money. I know you don't need that little money now, sister. If I give you money, it will make us feel distant."

After hearing her say this, Su Yaoguang opened the cloth bag and saw a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes inside.

"Isn't this too beautiful?" Zhang Zhaodi said nearby. "This embroidery and this shoe pattern would sell for at least ten taels of silver in a shop."

"So expensive?" Zhang Pandi next to her was surprised.

"The embroidery on these shoes is so vivid, they're not cheap to begin with. And then look at the pearls. There are eighteen in each shoe, so thirty-six for two shoes. How can they not be expensive?"

Seeing everyone's admiration, Chun'e felt proud as the middleman. Although she hadn't previously known what gift her aunt had given her, she knew her aunt's family was well-off and wouldn't give anything too shabby, which was why she was willing to make the trip.

"These pearls are not big, they are just some young ones, not worth much." Chun'e said, "But it's okay for a little girl to wear them for fun. If they were too big, you might be robbed."

"These shoes are so beautiful." Su Yaoguang couldn't let go. "Thank my aunt for me. She really spent a lot of money. If my cousin's facial cream works, please bring another bottle for my aunt so that she can try it too."

Chun'e did not refuse and agreed to pass it on to her.

"My aunt's family happens to be in the porcelain business. You need a large number of porcelain vases. If you are interested, I can introduce you to someone. I can also give you a lower price at that time."

"That's great, thank you, Sister Chun'e."
