~7 min read 1,296 words

"Borrow money?" Li Shoude's expression paused, and his voice faded instantly. "Yun Ying, you don't know the relationship between the third sister-in-law and our family. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are like fire and water. It's difficult to get her to borrow money."

"How can it be like fire and water? Isn't she your third brother's wife?" Yun Ying looked suspicious, but seeing that Li Shoude didn't want to say more, she said again: "She is a woman, no matter how strong she is, she can't do without a man. In the end, she will have to come back..."

"You don't understand." Li Shoude shook his head. If it were in the past, he would definitely agree with Yun Ying's words. A woman, what big things can she do? In the end, she still has to rely on a man.

Until half a year ago...

The third sister-in-law, who had always been honest and dutiful, suddenly changed, becoming strange to everyone, and everything she did was shocking.

Buying land, digging ditches, doing business... Which of these things can a normal woman do?

The third sister-in-law has changed. Even if his family regrets it, they can't go back to the past.

"Then since that's the case..." Yun Ying's eyes rolled. "Then we can find another way and borrow money from others."

"From whom?" Li Shoude had no idea and asked subconsciously.

Yun Ying induced him step by step: "Didn't you tell me before that the young master of the Huang family likes children? We can specifically find children for him..."

Before she finished speaking, she was sternly interrupted by Li Shoude: "No, Yun Ying, we can't do such things that violate morality and righteousness."

Yun Ying couldn't help rolling her eyes upon hearing this, thinking to herself, you already sold your own daughter to the young master of the Huang family, what morality and righteousness are you still caring about?

"Since you are unwilling, then forget it..." She deliberately showed a distressed expression. "It's just... if we can't raise enough money, I will have to wrong you, Shoude, to give up winning fame, stay in this village, and waste your talent in vain..."

Li Shoude's face sank instantly upon hearing this.

Letting him give up winning fame is impossible.

He racked his brains and exhausted his efforts to get to this point, absolutely impossible to give up!

"Yun Ying, endure for a few more days. I will definitely find a way to raise money to take you away from here. I will continue to go to Xuzhou to study and win fame." Li Shoude said in a deep voice. "Even if the whole Li family is unwilling to help me, I will definitely find a way to leave."

"Hmm." Yun Ying responded softly, burying her head in Li Shoude's arms, a hint of triumph in her eyes.

The pillow talk of this man, there is nothing she can't blow up.

Li Shoucai's trouble of dividing the family in the Lao Li family soon spread throughout the village.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was patrolling in the soap workshop, and hearing the discussion of the crowd, she couldn't help but be happy.

Has this Li Shoucai finally couldn't help but want to resist?

It's a pity, now he has neither strength nor courage, and cannot get rid of this group of vampires in the Lao Li family.

However, she remembered that in the original plot, after Li Shoude passed the scholar exam, Li Shoucai never proposed to divide the family.

Has the plot changed again?

Jiang Xiaoxiao thought for a while, didn't care much, anyway, Li Shoucai, this little minion, couldn't make any waves, so don't worry about him.

Three days passed in a flash.

The wealthy merchants and shopkeepers who wholesale ordered soap from her family also drove horse carriages into the village one after another.

This long line of horse carriages caused quite a stir in the village.

However, everyone was just a little surprised.

After all, this kind of thing is not once or twice.

After these wealthy merchants and shopkeepers transported the soap away, Jiang Wei decided to go to the shop in the town, and by the way, transport a batch of goods there.

Jiang Xiaoxiao naturally wanted to go with her.

The mother and daughter explained the family affairs to Zhao Dasao and set off.

When they arrived in the town, their family's soap shop was as hot as ever.

Asked Xiao Linzi, the shop was as usual, and no one came to make trouble.

Could it be that Mr. Sun really gave up on her family's soap formula?

Regarding this, Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled.

According to Mr. Sun's personality, he shouldn't give up easily...

Could it be that he is holding back some big trick waiting for her?

"However..." Speaking of this, Xiao Linzi paused. "The day you left, a man riding a horse came to ask."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned. A man riding a horse, could it be Shen Que?

Xiao Linzi recalled: "He was followed by many servants..."

Then it wasn't Shen Que.

Although Shen Que rides a horse and wanders around all day, he doesn't like to take people with him.

"That person didn't do anything after entering the shop, just asked your name and age, and then left."

"Asked my name and age?" Jiang Xiaoxiao pointed at herself in surprise. "Who?"

How could he ask her name and age?!

"I don't know who it is." Xiao Linzi shook his head. "That person looked expensive, and he brought so many servants with him, so I didn't dare to offend him, so I said I didn't know your age, and I didn't tell that person your name."

"Well done." Jiang Xiaoxiao praised Xiao Linzi. "Remember, Xiao Linzi, don't easily disclose my information to outsiders."

"Alright." Xiao Linzi nodded and remembered it seriously.

Jiang Wei was looking at the account book that Fan Zhongyong had recorded these days. Jiang Xiaoxiao walked over, thought about it, and still told her mother about this.

"Asked your name and age?" Jiang Wei frowned instantly.

"Could it be someone sent by Mr. Sun, specifically to inquire about my news?" Jiang Xiaoxiao guessed.

"Not quite like it." Jiang Wei shook her head. "Mr. Sun just wants the soap formula, it's not worth doing this... This person who inquired about your information is probably plotting something else."

Jiang Wei's tightly frowned brows did not loosen. She looked at the street outside with people coming and going, and spoke slowly: "Anyway, there is nothing in this shop. I will send you back to the village in the afternoon."

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't speak. She understood her mother's meaning. She was worried that she would have an accident in the town, and it would be safer to return to the village.

"Mother, can we eat dinner in the town before going back? I want to go to the night market to eat Granny Cao's tofu skin buns." Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled Jiang Wei's sleeve coquettishly.

By the way, see how Granny Cao is doing. Although she took her ability water, Granny Cao's body must be fine, but she always feels relieved to see it.

"Alright, I'll accompany you tonight." Jiang Wei looked at her helplessly, as if she couldn't help her. "However, after returning to the village, I will step up your training. You have to get up an hour earlier every morning to run and exercise your body, and learn simple boxing from me first."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

"Your little body is too weak." Jiang Wei looked at her up and down. "I have always been worried about you staying alone, but I can't accompany you all the time. It's better to let you become strong yourself."
