Chapter 98 Granny Liu Disrupts the Celebration

But he's Qian Musheng. What kind of stunning beauties haven't he seen? You might ask, aren't wildflowers by the roadside everywhere, in handfuls? He's used to it all and just nodded.

Liu Xiugu stood shyly like a quail, feeling happy just from stealing a glance at Qian Musheng every now and then.

Qian Musheng nodded, which was considered a greeting.

He thought that Granny Wang would tactfully leave with her daughter Liu Xiugu, but that didn't happen.

There's a saying, "They take advantage of your kindness," and Grandma Wang's family perfectly exemplifies the meaning of this saying.

Granny Wang asked, "Young Master Qian, you don't look that old, but you've achieved so much. That's truly remarkable."

Qian Musheng nodded again, "Oh, it's all thanks to my father's help."

What else can you say? They were born into a good family. What's there to say about that?

Su Xiaoxiao, who was listening nearby, felt embarrassed for Granny Wang.

"Oh, now that you've opened a workshop in our Hundred Flowers Village, will you be settling down here too? Are you married yet?"

Qian Musheng was taken aback, and could only reply calmly, "I don't plan to settle here, I just want to open a workshop."

“Oh, that makes sense, that’s true. With such a large family fortune, Young Master Qian certainly can’t settle down in our small mountain village.”

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao felt even more eager gazes from behind her, and they immediately became disappointed.

Qian Musheng found it quite strange. Did this woman even understand the concept of boundaries, or had she never had one at all?
He could only turn his gaze to Su Xiaoxiao beside him, his pleading look quite pitiful.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a little strange and didn't know how to explain it. Seeing these people surrounding Qian Musheng, their eager eyes were filled with expectation, as if they were all wondering if they still had a chance.

Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Liu Xiugu had specially worn a pink cotton jacket today, and she had a flower in her hair that looked very eye-catching.

At this moment, her face was incredibly delicate, looking like a shy quail. Su Xiaoxiao found it truly amusing. Wasn't this woman always arguing with her parents at home and saying whatever came to mind? How did she turn into a little lamb now?

Su Xiaoxiao found it amusing; she had originally come to watch the excitement from the sidelines.

But now, seeing Qian Musheng looking so troubled, she felt she had to help him no matter what.

"Grandma Wang, today is the opening day of our workshop. Young Master Qian has come from afar. If you have nothing else to do, please go home."

Just then, the auspicious time for the workshop's grand opening ceremony arrived, and everyone urged Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng to come and cut the ribbon together. In reality, it was just a ceremony.

Qian Musheng was finally free, free from the entanglement of that mother and daughter.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Qian Musheng, feeling rather embarrassed, "I didn't think things through today. All sorts of people came to get close to you. I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, Qian Musheng quickly said, "It's alright, those people just don't know any manners."

The celebration ended quickly, and Su Xiaoxiao began recruiting workers. The workers would first have to be vetted by the Sun family. Su Xiaoxiao decided that she would just take one last look at them. When it came to hiring, Su Xiaoxiao had a lot of faith in the Sun family's judgment.

When everyone came to Su Xiaoxiao's workshop to celebrate, unexpectedly, a person with disheveled hair rushed in from outside, holding a kitchen knife.

Everyone was so frightened that they all scrambled to the sides. "This is all your doing, you bitch! I'm going to kill you!" When everyone looked, they realized that it was none other than Su Xiaoxiao's mother-in-law, Granny Liu.

"This is all your doing! My son, Liu Dazhuang, was arrested and sentenced to five years. Give me back my son..."

Grandma Liu rushed in from outside, holding a kitchen knife. She was incredibly fast, and no one expected the old lady to be so quick. Moreover, after she came in, everyone was immersed in the joy of celebrating the opening ceremony, and no one paid any attention to Grandma Liu.

Qian Musheng reacted quickly; he immediately pinned Granny Liu to the ground and snatched the kitchen knife from her hand.

The movements were fluid and graceful, and Su Xiaoxiao could tell that Qian Musheng must know martial arts, and that his martial arts skills were not bad.

After being subdued by Qian Musheng, Granny Liu lay on the ground and started crying again. What was supposed to be an opening ceremony had turned into a funeral scene because of her outburst.

Everyone seemed quite unhappy, and Su Xiaoxiao also felt that the opening ceremony hadn't been properly prepared, which was why things turned out this way.

Grandma Liu always seems to make her presence felt at crucial moments, but what day is it today?
Su Xiaoxiao felt quite sorry for Qian Musheng that such an important opening ceremony had been ruined by Granny Liu.

"Young Master Qian, what should we do?"

Qian Musheng thought for a moment, then smiled faintly at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "This is just a minor incident, you don't need to take it to heart. Our auspicious time has arrived, let's continue."

Although it was a bit frustrating, the opening ceremony still proceeded smoothly at the auspicious time.

Su Xiaoxiao was so busy today that she was covered in sweat and completely exhausted.

After the opening ceremony ended that evening, Su Xiaoxiao dragged her tired body home. Aunt Wang came and called Su Xiaoxiao's name in the yard.

"Xiaoxiao, I have some cured meat here, which I dried myself. I brought it over to you as a celebration of your workshop opening."

Even though Su Xiaoxiao was exhausted, she quickly got up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and came out to accept Aunt Wang's congratulatory gift.

"Auntie, it's been so long since I've seen you. How have you been? Has your daughter-in-law recovered yet?"

Su Xiaoxiao was worried about whether Wang Da Niang's daughter-in-law, who was currently in postpartum confinement, would have enough breast milk.

"Yes, that's what I came to tell you. My daughter-in-law is in great health now, and she has plenty of breast milk. I think she could feed another baby."

Aunt Wang couldn't hide her joy; even the wrinkles on her face seemed to bloom with happiness.

Su Xiaoxiao was even happier after hearing this.

"Aunt Wang, are you happy now? You have no worries at all, and you're just happily exercising every day to keep in good health and take good care of your granddaughter."

After hearing this, Aunt Wang said with a happy expression, "That's right. Of course I need to take good care of my health. I'm hoping my daughter-in-law will give me another big, healthy grandson in the future. But I also know that whether you have a boy or a girl is up to fate, and I can't force it."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but give Aunt Wang a thumbs up.

“Aunt Wang, you are not only a good person, but also so open-minded. Your ideas are more than a thousand years ahead of your time.”

Aunt Wang blushed slightly at the compliment. "Oh, no way! I'm just a very content person. Contentment brings happiness, I understand that principle."
