The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

The Gu family devoted themselves entirely to the renovation of the shop.

They were busy with renovations and couldn't set up an open-air stall, which disappointed many people.

Fang Cheng used money to send people to cause trouble at the place where the Gu family used to set up their stall. As a result, those thugs waited for several days but the Gu family never set up their stall.

Things weren't going well, so Fang Cheng was distracted from his studies.

In class, the teacher called on Fang Cheng, saying, "Fang Cheng, explain the meaning of this passage."

Fang Cheng was lost in thought and didn't react until his classmate nudged him, at which point he stood up blankly, unsure of what to ask.

The teacher used Fang Cheng as a negative example, saying, "Fang Cheng, although you have ranked in the top three in the academy examination, you cannot be arrogant because of this. There is still a long road ahead. Today, I will give you 10 slaps on the palm as punishment."

The teacher's ruler struck Fang Cheng's left palm repeatedly.

After being hit 10 times, Fang Cheng's left palm was so painful that he couldn't feel it anymore.

This debt was naturally attributed to Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian, you just wait.

Su Qianqian was helping out at the new shop when she suddenly sneezed. Who was talking about her?

Gu Ying called out from the front gate, "Cousin, come out quickly! Uncle is here and says he has something urgent to tell you."

As soon as Su Qianqian came out, she saw her father's anxious look, which meant something serious must have happened.

"Daughter, didn't you tell me to keep an eye on Er Ya's situation? Oh no! I heard that Er Ya didn't die after trying to hang herself, and she's getting married in three days."

After all, she was his own niece, and the only one in the old house with a good temperament, so Su Bing was still very worried about her.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll think of something."

Su Qianqian planned to go to the Guose Tianxiang Clothing Shop to ask what Manager Zuo had to say, as she had already mentioned Sister Er Ya to Manager Zuo last time.

Manager Zuo did not refuse at the time.

Su Qianqian drove a mule cart to the Guose Tianxiang Clothing Shop, but she didn't see Manager Zuo. Instead, she saw a girl who looked somewhat similar to Manager Zuo.

"Excuse me, is Manager Zuo here?"

"Oh, sir, are you looking for my cousin? My cousin went to Lotus Village to find a girl surnamed Su."

Su Qianqian felt a little regretful. It was really troublesome not having a cell phone in ancient times. She went to find Manager Zuo, but Manager Zuo also went to find her, and the two missed each other.

Time was of the essence, so Su Qianqian immediately drove the mule cart back to the village, where she encountered Manager Zuo, who was returning to the city, on the way.

Manager Zuo drove the carriage himself, and was so anxious that he was covered in sweat because he couldn't find Miss Su.

"Miss Su, I was just about to talk to you about something. The horse-face skirts are selling exceptionally well, and we've already earned over a thousand taels of silver. My idea is to not give you a share for now, but to continue investing all of this money to make more horse-face skirts."

"Manager Zuo, when a new style of clothing comes out, many people will follow suit and imitate it. If we make too much stock, it will be easy to accumulate inventory. Why not allocate some of our efforts to making horse-face skirts and use the rest of our efforts to develop new products?"

Manager Zuo slapped her head hard. She had been running a stall since she was thirteen, and now at twenty-five, she had been in business for twelve years, yet she was still not as insightful as a young girl.

That was really wrong.

"Miss Su, I've been blinded by victory. Yes, yes, we must not only continue making horse-face skirts, but also constantly innovate."

I remember Ms. Su telling her last time that you can't put all your eggs in one basket; if you want to grow your business, you have to be aware of the risks.

"Manager Zuo, I introduced you to my cousin last time. She's quite reliable. Are you short-staffed right now? Even brothers need to keep clear accounts. Just tell me what's necessary."

"Yes, but your cousin's skills aren't up to par, so she can only be an apprentice for now. She'll earn 300 cash a month, but the apprenticeship period is only one month. After that, she'll be paid 500 cash a month, which is the county's wage rate."

Su Qianqian thought for a moment and realized that the price of 300 coins was not enough to attract her second aunt.

"Manager Zuo, just settle my cousin's wages at 500 coins, and deduct the difference from my share."

Before the Su family split up, the third branch of the family survived countless cold winter nights only because Er Ya secretly boiled hot water.

Although she hadn't transmigrated yet, she had the original owner's memories, so she knew these things.

Compared to what Er Ya did for the third branch of the family, the two hundred coins she contributed were really not much.

Su Qianqian handed the pre-drawn sketch to Manager Zuo, "These are the uniforms my uncle's restaurant needs. They're the staff's uniforms. Could you please have someone make ten sets?"

"Alright, Miss Su, don't worry, I will arrange for people to make these clothes carefully, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Su Qianqian waved her hand, "Manager Zuo, you must be quite busy. Go back to the county town first. If you need anything, just come find me at the newly opened restaurant on Fuxing Street."

Su Qianqian returned to the village and went straight to the Su family's old house.

In the courtyard of the old house, the second son's wife was feeding the chickens with her head down when a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her.

"Who is it?" The second son's wife was about to get angry when she looked up and saw that it was Su Qianqian.

The girl was incredibly strong, and the second son's wife couldn't beat her at all, so she could only suppress her anger.

After Su Qianqian entered the Su family's old house, many villagers came over as well.

Many villagers had received Qianqian's help before, and when they heard that Qianqian had returned to the village, they all came to the Su family's old house. They missed her quite a bit after not seeing her for a few days.

"Qian is back."

"Little Qianqian, do you need any help with your land reclamation?"

Su Qianqian nodded in response, "Yes, my family plans to build more livestock sheds and raise more poultry. We will need more manpower then, but we will give priority to people from our own village."

Once the restaurant opens, the demand for poultry will definitely be high. Rather than buying from others, it's better to be self-sufficient.

The village is currently in a period of food shortage, and the villagers are struggling to make ends meet. She happens to have some money on hand, so she can hire more villagers to work on clearing land, which will also provide them with food, creating a win-win situation.

Upon hearing this, the old village chief's brow, which had been furrowed for many days, finally relaxed.

A few days ago, the higher-ups gave the order that if anyone starved to death in a village, the village chief would be dismissed. He had been the village chief for so many years, and it would be a huge loss of face for him to be dismissed.

Now that Qianyatou has started raising livestock, the villagers have another way to make a living.

With Qian Yatou supporting the villagers, there will definitely be no more starvation deaths in Lotus Village.

After not seeing her for a few days, the old village chief felt that Qian Yatou's appearance was becoming more and more outstanding.

Today, Qianya was wearing a light pink cotton dress. She stood up straight, and her overall demeanor made her stand out like a crane among chickens when she was among a group of farmers.

I don't know what the old man of the Su family was thinking, that he could look down on such an outstanding granddaughter.

You'll definitely regret it later.

Sun and Fang Yingxue were also in the crowd. They had been waiting for several days, but the county magistrate's men had not come to arrest them.

But when Su Qianqian returned to the village, she was surrounded by the villagers, like a star surrounded by the moon.

Sun felt particularly uncomfortable.

This girl is gaining more and more respect among the villagers.

Fang Yingxue stared at Su Qianqian's face and noticed that the girl had become much fairer and prettier than before. If the girl continued to be beautiful, Fang Yingxue's position as the village beauty would be in jeopardy.

Damn it, we should have stopped the old Su family mansion from splitting off the third branch of the family.

As long as the family doesn't separate, this girl will continue to be harassed by Old Mrs. Su, and her face will be tanned dark from working every day.

Sun was anxious to get the county magistrate to send someone to deal with the third branch of the Su family. She whispered to her daughter, Fang Yingxue, "I'll have to send a message to your brother later to remind him whether he has forgotten about disciplining Su Qianqian."

Not only the Fang family mother and daughter, but also the Su family were hoping that the county magistrate would send someone to arrest the third wife.

Grandma Su's leg fracture hadn't healed yet. When she peeked through the window and saw the brat from the third wife's house arrive, she felt like she was being scratched by a cat, and she was extremely upset.

Originally, he planned to have his son carry the girl from the third wife's house out of the house to make a fool of himself when the county magistrate sent people to arrest her.

As it turned out, the girl actually came to the old house unharmed, and she looked much better than before. Her face was fuller and fairer, and even her hair was much darker.

The old lady became increasingly angry as she looked at it, so angry that she wanted to smash the bowl on the bedside table, but she couldn't bear to, since the bowl cost money.

The third wife deserved to live a miserable life under her control. She shouldn't have acted impulsively and separated the third wife's family.

She regretted it, but unfortunately the village chief had already taken the family division documents to the government for filing.

The old lady decided that she had to come up with a good plan to stop the third branch of the family from continuing to prosper.
