Buffet in Beiyu City Qiao Qiyu bowed once again to Bai Ruozhu, and said, “Miss Bai has given me a chance to start over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swear to you that I will never gamble again, and I will never step foot in a gambling hall, otherwise, I will be plagued by painful death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People in ancient times took oaths seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the severity of the oath Qiao Qiyu made, it seemed like he was determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, whether he could stick to it or not, depended on his own behavior in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu lightly smiled at Qiao Qiyu and his father, and said, “There is no need to thank me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Hao family’s insatiable greed that should be exposed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Qiyu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Bai Ruozhu, saying, “You helped us reclaim the shop, and we are not ungrateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We want to transfer the ownership of this shop to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao, there’s no need for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I trust your character, and I will continue to lease from your family,” Bai Ruozhu smiled and pushed the deed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao, however, refused to take it back and said, “We plan on leaving Beiyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would feel more at ease if we transfer the shop to you, Miss Bai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, Miss Bai, please accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We won’t tell anyone about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can just say that you’re still leasing the place to avoid any gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both my father and I believe that dealing with the Hao family is too much of a hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be better for us to move to another city,” Qiao Qiyu also said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu thought that the considerations made by Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao and his son were reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people shouldn’t fight with officers, and the Hao family could always find a way to trouble them in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Beiyu City seems safer, and Qiao Qiyu could focus on studying and striving to be a scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, she finally agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, her elder brother returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered the main hall, he greeted the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Bai Zepei, Qiao Qiyu immediately stood up nervously, “Hello, Bai Zepei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m Qiao Qiyu from Class B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might not know me, but I’ve always admired you for being ranked first in Class A.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Qiyu was really nervous, as if he had met an idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was stunned – she didn’t know her elder brother was so famous in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t only a high achiever, he even had fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zepei took a glance at Qiao Qiyu and said indifferently, “I know you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My little sister has been worrying about your family’s affairs recently and I’ve heard about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your academics are good, but you’re not diligent enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you could be more focused, you should be able to pass the Imperial Examination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao stood up excitedly and said, “Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, Qiyu, you must study harder so that you can compete in the same subject as Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Qiyu’s eyes also lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a deep bow to Bai Zepei and said, “I will remember your words and study hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will not waste my time anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu watched all this and thought, after going through all these experiences, Qiao Qiyu should have matured a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting a date with Bai Ruozhu to officially transfer the shop ownership, Qiao Qiyu and his father bid their farewells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Bai Ruozhu completed the paperwork for the transfer of the shop with Qiao Qiyu and his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They used the same price she had originally offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao felt awkward, so before leaving Beiyu City, he gave the Bai Family a gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make sure Bai Ruozhu accepted it, he asked a friend to deliver it, claiming it was for Bai Ruozhu’s child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the deliverer left, Bai Ruozhu opened the box and found a weighty, gold necklace inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu almost ran after the man who delivered the gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The necklace was solid gold and worth a considerable amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this gift, it seemed that the Qiao family had effectively only received half the price for the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dengdeng was overjoyed, holding onto the gold necklace and refusing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu was forced to get a red string and tie the necklace around his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her plan was to keep an eye on him and when he got bored after playing with it a few days, she would put it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, that was for later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Bai Ruozhu was busy packing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the possibility of returning in less than two months, she still wanted to prepare as thoroughly as possible, especially when it came to the child’s stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink of an eye, the day of her farewell banquet had arrived, and it was also her first time trying out the concept of a buffet in Beiyu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, she was feeling a mix of melancholy, excitement, and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop was closed for business in the early morning to prepare for the buffet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By midday, guests began to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A notice was posted outside stating that the shop was booked for a private event until noon and would reopen to the public thereafter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many passersby stopped out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even wondered who was capable enough to book the renowned shop for a private event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since it became the most popular pub in Beiyu City, there had never been any news of it being booked for a private event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main gate of the shop remained open, allowing people outside to clearly see the buffet set up inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This prompted even more curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were the tables in the main hall removed and a few scattered around in some corners?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really a banquet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu, when sending out the invitations a few days ago, had already stated that it would be a unique buffet based on the customs of the overseas western royal family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was meant to facilitate better conversation over food and drink, with no limits on what they wished to eat, offering them the freedom to indulge and have fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, those who received the invitations were extremely curious and even more so once they arrived at the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitstaff at the shop first served tea to the guests, patiently attending to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more people arrived, Bai Ruozhu stepped forward and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those who have come today are my friends and family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As you know, I will be heading to the capital for some work in a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, before I leave, I wanted to treat all of you to a different kind of buffet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope everyone has a good time and will keep me in your thoughts.” As she said this, she adoringly winked at everyone, making all the ladies and young girls below burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time she invited her master Lin Zhenghui, her business partners Shen Lu and Deng Gongquan, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng and the Meng sisters, everyone from her yard, as well as the well-acquainted Xie family, Ji Ziyan, Xu Huilin, Tu Ying, Tu Bai and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, she also invited the ladies and young girls she had a good relationship with from previous banquets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this also included her second brother’s classmates from the academy, the couple from Ronglang Pastry Shop, and the entire Qiao family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that almost everyone had arrived, Bai Ruozhu put up a large porcelain plate as a demonstration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These plates were made according to her specifications, larger but very lightweight, so it wouldn’t tire out their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone has a plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can pick whatever you like to eat from the different stations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We also have a variety of drinks and teas to choose from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can arrange with familiar friends to get food together, then chat and eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, please let’s forget about formality and enjoy.” Bai Ruozhu looked at the crowd, broke into a smile, showing her white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her teeth, everyone couldn’t help but think about the current trend in Beiyu City, where women display their white teeth when they laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a set of white teeth is almost a symbol of aristocracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The better the woman’s teeth, the more noble her status seems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Bai Ruozhu would set a new trend for banquets, just like the buffet in front of them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dear readers, I am sorry that today’s updates are late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Mouka, am afraid if some people would say that I am making excuses again, but I am genuinely running a fever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My head feels heavy which makes writing a slow process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have no idea why my health has been poor recently, with nosebleeds and a sore throat just a few days ago, which I thought was due to a common cold, but now even fever has kicked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will continue to try my best and update another chapter later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I definitely won’t be able to publish five chapters today, so I am letting you all know first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will try to catch up tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>",1558,"2026-05-30T14:09:10.984Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","6845c702b0461cebe24a2716615404d65843886edc226ab8935836ce50649a84","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-726","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-724",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
