Liu Siyue asked everyone to wait for her at the clinic while she went to the street to buy some things. She strolled around the street and bought a basket to carry things, two chickens, and some meat and eggs. These were all naturally raised and were better than the things in the supermarket.

After she finished shopping, she took some eggs and meat from the supermarket and put them on top, intending to give them to Uncle Youtian's family when she returned to the village as a token of her gratitude.

The steaming bun shop was bustling with activity. The shopkeeper loudly proclaimed that the freshly steamed meat buns were delicious, inexpensive, thin-skinned, and generously filled. Liu Siyue was also hungry and bought 50 buns at once. The shopkeeper was overjoyed and even gave her two meat buns and three vegetable buns as a bonus.

"Shopkeeper, look how much I've bought! I have nothing to carry. Do you have anything to put it in?"

No problem.

"Wife, get a basket to put the buns in this young lady's basket."

"Don't worry, little sister, these baskets are all clean. They're just for customers in the shop. I usually sell each basket for 3 coins, but since you bought so many, I'll give them to you for free. Please come and support our business more often in the future."

"No problem, whenever I come to town to buy steamed buns, your shop will be my first choice. The shopkeeper is a kind person, and I will also recommend other people to patronize your business."

Wishing the shopkeeper a prosperous business and abundant wealth.

"Thank you for your kind words, little sister. Here are two more steamed buns for you."

The commotion attracted a crowd. Liu Siyue picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. It tasted good; the skin was indeed thin and the filling was generous. "These steamed buns are really good. Not only do they taste good, but the skin is also thin and the filling is generous. I want to eat more after I finish them."

Liu Siyue's actions caused even those who weren't planning to buy steamed buns to do so. The shopkeeper and his wife were incredibly busy, and the entire day's supply they prepared was sold out by the morning.

The two were panting heavily. "My goodness, we've never encountered anything like this before. That young lady is really amazing. She brought us so much business with just a few words. In the past, I could shout myself hoarse and hardly anyone would come."

"Our steamed buns taste good and have generous fillings. If we weren't being suppressed, our business would have been established long ago. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for us."

"If anyone dares to cause trouble again this time, I'll fight them to the death."

"Honey, don't be impulsive. They have powerful backers. We can't fight them. If anything happens to you, how will we survive?"

The joy he had just felt vanished. The man squatted on the ground, clutching his hair, his mind in turmoil.

When Liu Siyue returned to the clinic, her second uncle and the others had already packed up. She handed the basket and hampers to Ruyu to watch over, and then went to drive the oxcart.

She went to the stable to fetch the Bull Demon King and found a hoe lying at his feet. Thinking of the cow dung on Huang Lanhua's head, she roughly knew what had happened. What a wicked child! How could the original owner have ended up with such a mother? She was truly vicious.

The carriage was large, and inside sat Liu Dawang, his two daughters, and Liu Youtian. Shi Tou insisted on sitting on the carriage shaft to watch Liu Siyue drive the oxcart.

Once everyone was seated, Liu Siyue put the basket on the cart and handed the other baskets to them, saying, "Second Uncle, Uncle Tian, ​​the baskets are filled with steamed buns. Eat them while they're hot."

Sit tight, let's go home.

Because there were injured or sick people on the cart, it was moving very slowly. "Brother Stone, didn't you want to learn how to drive an oxcart? Now that the oxcart is moving slowly and the Bull Demon King is obedient, once we leave the town and there aren't many people around, you can drive it, and I'll teach you from the side."

"Okay, thank you, April."

Once outside the town, Liu Siyue stopped the oxcart, took three steamed buns from the cart and gave them to Shi Tou. "Eat up, then you can drive on your way."

She had only eaten one bun, and felt unsatisfied, so she wanted to eat more. Since her body was so weak, it wouldn't hurt to eat more, and she started munching on another bun.

After they finished eating, they started their journey. Liu Siyue gave the driver's seat to Shi Tou, and she taught Shi Tou exactly what Qing Wu had taught her.

"April, you're amazing, you know so much."

"I learned my skills from others."

The oxcart swayed along the road and then encountered a village oxcart, on which Liu Qingshan sat.

Liu Qingshan asked Grandpa Hu to help him pick up someone from the clinic today. Grandpa Hu insisted on being paid first before he would go. Liu Qingshan had no choice but to keep arguing. In the end, Grandpa Hu accepted 15 coins and agreed to take the person back to the village.

When they arrived in town, Huang Lanhua was overjoyed to see Liu Qingshan. "Qingshan, you've finally come to take your father and me home! We're all packed, let's go!"

The clinic staff stopped them, saying, "You can't leave. You have to pay for the bedding before you can leave. Look at the state you've made of the bedding. It's disgusting."

"It's you who won't let us leave, not us who don't want to leave. So we'll just stay here, eat your food, drink your water, and you'll still be responsible for our medical care."

"I'm not stopping you from leaving; I'm making you pay for the damages before you leave."

"What compensation? We paid for our stay here. Shouldn't you provide us with blankets? These blankets are a bit dirty, but they'll only get dirtier the more you use them. You can't expect them to get cleaner! You can't be unreasonable!" Huang Lanhua said, spitting everywhere. They were about to leave, not afraid of anyone!

The man was so angry he couldn't speak. He went to find a doctor, who glanced at the family and comforted him, "Don't cry. They're just a bunch of scoundrels. You can't reason with them. Let them go. If they ever come back, I will refuse to treat them, no matter what."

The doctor was helpless in the face of such an unreasonable person.

Huang Lanhua, with the air of a victor, strode out of the clinic, finally ready to go home.

When Liu Siyue returned home, everyone in the village was busy working, but the foremen were all sitting there without moving. When Liu Dawang and the others got off the oxcart, the villagers immediately surrounded them. "Dawang, you're finally back! We came to build a house today, but those foremen refused to start. They were taking advantage of your absence to be lazy and slack off. You have to teach them a lesson, fine them, and deduct their wages."

Liu Siyue told her second uncle and the others to go back inside first, while she negotiated with the group outside. Seeing Liu Dawang about to leave, the villagers rushed forward to stop him, calling out, "Dawang, Uncle Dawang..."

You can't leave! This matter isn't resolved yet!

Liu Siyue shielded her second uncle and eldest sister behind her and said loudly, "Fellow villagers of Liujia Village, you want to solve your problems, right? You don't need to come to my second uncle, I can solve them for you."

"Can you make decisions for your second uncle?"

"Yes, Second Uncle, what do you think?"

"April will decide what happens in our family." He told his eldest daughter to go back to her room first, while he stayed behind to face things with April.

"Second Uncle, go back to your room and rest. Be careful your condition doesn't worsen."

"It's alright, Second Uncle has thick skin and isn't that delicate. Besides, I'm almost fully recovered." Liu Siyue thought it would be good for him to stay, so that Second Uncle could see these honest and kind villagers.

"Fellow villagers, the construction period for your houses at my house ends today. Since you're already here, I'll pay you for half a day's work and lend it to you right away. You don't need to come back anymore; we don't need it."

"Your house isn't even finished yet, so why won't you let us come and work? You have to give us an explanation."

Liu Siyue looked at each of them one by one. "You want an explanation, you want to know the reason, fine! I'll tell you clearly today, because your actions are disheartening, you don't deserve our wages."

The villagers were disheartened by their confusion, their faces filled with bewilderment. Liu Siyue noticed the clueless expressions on some people's faces, while others quietly lowered their heads.
