Chapter 256 Su Xiaoxiao is assassinated

After making up her mind, Su Xiaoxiao took advantage of the time while Liu Qiaomei was cooking for her to tell Liu Qiaomei her true thoughts.

Su Xiaoxiao spoke frankly, directly saying what was on her mind.

Liu Qiaomei blushed with embarrassment and kept her head down, not wanting to say a word.

"Actually, I know that you still can't let go of Young Master Qian."

When Su Xiaoxiao said this, a hint of sadness appeared on Liu Qiaomei's face, a feeling that she could not hide at all.

"Well, what I really wanted to say is that Mr. Li is actually a nice person, and his family is quite wealthy. You could try to get to know him better. However, I haven't asked Mr. Li about this yet."

At the dinner table, Su Xiaoxiao deliberately gave Mr. Li some opportunities to have private conversations with Liu Qiaomei.

Su Xiaoxiao secretly observed and found that the two seemed to get along quite well.

There's no rush for this; we can take it slowly.

According to her own plan, Su Xiaoxiao gradually opened up all the wasteland in front of her.

Some of the wildflowers that were originally in the fields were planted. After developing fertile land, Su Xiaoxiao calculated that there were about 100 acres of fertile land. Su Xiaoxiao divided these fertile lands into small squares and made field ridges on these small squares. Su Xiaoxiao's idea was to plant 100 kinds of flowers here, and then she could extract 100 kinds of flower essential oils.

However, it's a bit late for this season, and Su Xiaoxiao thinks that if the weather gets colder, they'll probably have to use plastic greenhouses.

Of course, since there's no plastic available at this time, some tarpaulin might be necessary.

With the flowers all taken care of, Su Xiaoxiao thought with satisfaction that she would be quite busy in the days to come.

While they were eating, someone came in through the door. Su Xiaoxiao thought the face looked familiar and finally remembered it after thinking for a long time.

Isn't this the same person I saw when I bought a mule at the livestock market last time?
The man was tall and strong, and very forthright.

How did he find his way here?
"My name is An Yongshan. What a coincidence!"

"Hmm, this isn't a coincidence, is it? How did you find our house?"

"Yes, I did come here on business."

"what's up?"

"When I first met you, I sensed you were no ordinary person. I wonder if you could do me a favor?"

"You tell me, last time you helped me deal with that stubborn mule and saved my daughter and me. I haven't thanked you yet!"

"You flatter me, young lady. It was just a small favor on my part."

"But I really think I need Miss Su to help me with this matter."

"please say."

"Yes, I'm being chased and I'm looking for a place to hide for a few days. Could I stay at Miss Su's house for a few days?"

You said you wanted to come to our home?

"Yes, I know this might not be a good idea..."

Looking at the tall and strong man in front of her, Su Xiaoxiao felt quite conflicted about letting him hide in her home, knowing nothing about him.

The key point is that this man is from the Western Regions, and we don't know what he does; he's very mysterious.

“Miss Su, I know you must be hesitant. Besides, you must think I’m a bad person, right? I’m someone whose background you don’t know at all.”

As An Yongshan spoke, he turned around and left without hesitation, looking disappointed.

"Wait a minute, come in, I agree."

"really?"

"Ah."

"Miss Su is indeed generous." Su Xiaoxiao arranged for An Yongshan to stay in a side room. Since he said he came here to seek refuge, it would be better to keep him from going out as much as possible.

An Yongshan appeared to have a knife wound, but Su Xiaoxiao could tell it wasn't too serious, so she brought him some wound medicine.

An Yongshan was very grateful to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Just rest and recover here. Don't worry, this village is quite isolated; no one will notice you."

An Yongshan thanked Su Xiaoxiao.

The two didn't say anything more. Su Xiaoxiao turned around, closed the door, and left.

As the saying goes, when you're out in the world, you're bound to get hurt.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that she was quite good at judging people; An Yongshan wasn't a bad person, he was just currently in some trouble.

In times of emergency, it's perfectly reasonable to help if you can.

Su Xiaoxiao remained kind-hearted, believing that no matter the circumstances, even if she traveled to ancient times, it would be the same.

If you encounter someone in need, help them if you can.

It's because people of her generation were brainwashed by something.

People are so indifferent to each other that everyone is wary of one another. Forget about helping those poor people; if someone doesn't go over and kick those poor people, they'd be considered kind-hearted.

What's wrong with this person?
Anyway, it's all different from the education she received when she was a child. Has society changed?

A few days ago, she heard a commotion outside her shop. When she went out to see what was going on, she found an old woman begging for food. She guessed that the woman had fled from somewhere else and was so hungry that she stole two big steamed buns from a roadside bun shop and ate them.

As a result, the stall owner chased and beat her. The old lady couldn't run anymore and was beaten so badly by the stall owner that she kept wailing on the ground.

Some passersby watched the spectacle, while others sighed in dismay, but no one went to lend a helping hand.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed through the crowd and stopped the stall owner who was assaulting her. "You ate both of your steamed buns, didn't you? How much were they?"

The stall owner curled his lip and said, "Two steamed buns are worthless, two coins."

"for you."

Su Xiaoxiao took out two coins and gave them to the stall owner.

The stall owner persisted, saying, "But her hands were so dirty. It's true she only stole two buns from me, but she contaminated my whole steamer of buns. Who would dare to buy my buns now?"

Su Xiaoxiao gave a cold laugh.

"Here, this is one tael of silver, enough to buy ten steamers of your buns. Now get out of here!"

Su Xiaoxiao was too lazy to waste words with him.

When the stall owner realized he had encountered a nouveau riche, he quickly took one tael of silver and left.

"You unscrupulous merchant, it's no wonder your steamed buns won't sell."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention to the unscrupulous steamed bun seller, so she asked the old lady if she was injured.

The old lady thanked Su Xiaoxiao profusely. Su Xiaoxiao took her back to the shop, changed her clothes, gave her some money, and let her rest before letting her leave.

It's perfectly reasonable to help someone so pitiful if you can.

Su Xiaoxiao recently developed a facial cleanser that is oil-removing and moisturizing. After improvements, it was launched and has been loved by many beautiful women.

Su Xiaoxiao also gave the store staff some sales tips on how to promote this facial cleanser.

On this day, as Su Xiaoxiao was explaining things to the shop assistants with great focus, a figure suddenly darted out from beside her, holding a short sword and thrusting it directly at Su Xiaoxiao's throat.
