"Qiqi, are you going to buy sauerkraut wholesale for her?"

When Liu Suyi and the others heard this news, they were all stunned.

"right."

Cheng Qiqi told her about her plan to buy a son, saying, "She can sell him in the prefectural city later, and we won't interfere with each other."

"Qiqi, are you alright?"

When Liu Suyi heard that Sister-in-law Gui had brought people to block her, she was immediately worried.

"fine."

Cheng Qiqi shook her head and said, "We've taken away other people's business, so naturally some people will be envious and jealous. Giving up a portion of the profits in exchange for our business of selling pickled vegetables safely in the county is a very good deal."

"Besides, if we can't sell it in An'nan Prefecture, we can sell it in other prefectures, right?"

Cheng Qiqi had already considered this issue when she decided to recruit them.

"Then, if she buys a whole vat of pickled cabbage, won't she have already learned how to make it by then?"

Gao Shenglan voiced her concerns.

"Haha~"

Cheng Qiqi chuckled and said, "If it were that easy to learn, she wouldn't have only come to buy it today."

"You mean, she tried learning at home, and then failed?"

Gao Shenglan immediately realized what was going on.

"right."

Cheng Qiqi smiled and nodded: "She wants to learn, but it's not that easy!"

"Then I agree."

Soon, everyone reached a consensus.

Sister-in-law Agui paid promptly, and after tasting the pickled cabbage and finding it to be exactly the same as the one Cheng Qiqi sold, she had a large vat carried away!

"You've made quite a bit of money from wholesale too!"

Gao Shenglan looked at the silver in Cheng Qiqi's hand. Mustard greens are really cheap. With this little bit of effort, her status has more than doubled in an instant.

"From now on, we need to pickle more sauerkraut."

Cheng Qiqi didn't take any of the money; instead, she used it to buy more mustard greens and radishes, and to prepare some new pickles.

Even the most delicious pickled cabbage can become tiresome if eaten every day.

The Jin family had no objections whatsoever; they listened to Cheng Qiqi, and they could make money!

……

"Stop hitting him!"

Jin Xue'er, seeing Jin Yanzhi and Zhuang Haichao wrestling, turned pale with fright: "Brother, stop fighting! You'll kill someone if you keep going!"

"He bullied you!"

Jin Yanzhi stared at Zhuang Haichao with bloodshot eyes and said, "Let me tell you, my sister is different from the girls in the village. You are not good enough for her!"

"Is that so?"

Zhuang Haichao leaned against the tree behind him and slowly stood up. Coming from a military family, he was quite different from those young masters who couldn't lift a finger. When he punched someone, it hurt quite a bit.

Zhuang Haichao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinning as he stared at Jin Xue'er. "Your brother's meddling way too much! Neither of you is married, and neither of you is married. I haven't looked down on you because you're criminals, so why aren't you good enough for her?"

"Besides, she's about to fall. Am I just going to stand by and watch her fall to the ground?"

Zhuang Haichao stared intently at Jin Xue'er: "Miss Jin, what do you say?"

Jin Xue'er nervously averted her gaze, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother, you've misunderstood. I almost fell to the ground just now, and he... saved me."

Jin Xue'er felt a little embarrassed when she thought about what had just happened.

Ever since Zhuang Haichao took her to eat a roast chicken, she had been craving it. But who knew that she would fall to the ground because she couldn't sit properly.

Zhuang Haichao lunged at her, a scene witnessed by her brother.

"Hmph, don't even think about hitting on my sister."

Jin Yanzhi snorted coldly and said, "Go home!"

"Thank you."

Jin Xue'er turned around, and before she could finish speaking, Jin Yanzhi grabbed her arm and ran away.

"Jin Xue'er, how dare you! Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

"Don't you know what he's up to?"

Jin Yanzhi frowned and looked at her, saying, "Do you really want to marry a peasant? Do you think you'll have a good life then?"

"When will we be able to live a good life?" Jin Xue'er asked calmly, looking up.

Look at my hands.

Jin Xue'er stretched out her hands; her once pampered hands were now rough and even red from the cold. Her eyes were red and swollen as she said, "I don't want to live like this for even a day longer!"

"All I do every day is pound rice or grind flour, and now you want me to go to the sugar mill?"

Jin Xue'er looked at Jin Yanzhi excitedly and said, "If I go to the sugar shop, will I have to live under Cheng Qiqi's thumb every day?"

She wanted to leave; she wanted to escape this home!

Zhuang Haichao was the person she was investigating.

The village head's son is completely different from those sons of officials, and he is not from a wealthy family. That's fine, we can't look down on her because of her criminal status!

Zhuang Lizheng's family has several sons, and Zhuang Haichao is the youngest. Zhuang's daughter-in-law is known in the village for her good fortune and doesn't have to do heavy work at home.

"When has my sister-in-law ever given me a hard time? Isn't it always you and Mother being sarcastic and unfriendly?"

"Without my sister-in-law, can we make it safely to Lingnan?"

"Now that the family is making money, you can wait a little longer, later..."

In the past, Jin Yanzhi would have been too lazy to pay attention to her, but now, Jin Yanzhi felt that as her older brother, she still had to give her some advice!

"I can't wait any longer."

Jin Xue'er looked at him and said, "You should apologize to Zhuang Haichao. He saved me, and instead of thanking him, you hit him."

"Should I apologize?"

Jin Yanzhi had originally intended to persuade him properly, but now, forget it!

Jin Yanzhi turned around and went into the mountains to collect firewood. He wanted to earn a lot of money so he would never have to do hard and tiring work again!

"Brother, you should go apologize right away."

Jin Xue'er chased after her.

"Dream on!"

Jin Yanzhi spoke without turning his head, feeling a tightness in his chest.

"Jin Yanzhi".

Jin Xue'er stomped her foot in anger, while Jin Yanzhi kept a cold face and buried his head in picking up firewood.

The brother and sister returned home in a huff. Lin Huilan, who was cooking porridge, paused for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"

"snort?"

"snort!"

Jin Xue'er and Jin Yanzhi both snorted coldly and ignored each other.

"Young lady, why is it porridge again? I want rice, I want meat!"

Jin Xue'er looked at the unappetizing porridge, then at the pickled cabbage, and instantly lost all desire to eat!

"I want to eat meat again, why don't you go buy some yourselves?"

Lin Huilan glared at her, then looked at Jin Yanzhi and asked, "When you went to sell sauerkraut today, did that Aunt Gui really bully you? Are you just going to wholesale the sauerkraut business to someone else like that? What if you can't sell it later?"

Lin Huilan hadn't said anything before, but now, looking at Jin Yanzhi, she couldn't wait to ask.

"Is Sister-in-law Gui here?"

Jin Yanzhi was shocked, then said, "Wholesale is fine too. If my sister-in-law isn't worried about us not being able to sell them, why should I be?"

"With so many people in the county, our pickled cabbage sells very well."

Jin Yanzhi gulped down his porridge and said, "After a while, when we've earned more money, we'll buy meat to eat!"

"Young lady, could you please improve your cooking skills?"

As Jin Yan was mixing pickled cabbage, he smelled the aroma of Cheng Qiqi's stew in the kitchen next door. His eyes were filled with worry. When would he be able to eat his sister-in-law's cooking every day?
