A time-travel story where I forcefully marry the leading lady in a film/TV series!

Fifth Sister Le Shan, still with her usual energetic demeanor, widened her eyes and spoke with a fierce yet endearing expression.

Upon hearing her fifth daughter's words, Li Niangzi sighed even more deeply.

Could a marquis like that possibly take a liking to her? Even if he did take a liking to her, what if she caused chaos and unrest in the household after entering the marquis's mansion, and he sent her back with a letter of divorce?

Upon seeing Li Niangzi's expression, Si Niang Haode quickly tugged at her younger sister's sleeve and whispered, "Fifth Sister! Calm down!"

Le Shan then realized that she had angered her mother again, so she quickly shrank her neck, nodded, and stopped talking.

"It's changed, it's changed!" Third Sister Kang Ning quickly chimed in, "Fifth Sister has vowed to cultivate her character and will change from now on! Health is the most important thing, Mother!"

"Sigh... Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing that she had angered her mother quite a bit and that all her sisters were looking at her, Wu Niang Le Shan quickly nodded repeatedly and, with a dignified and virtuous demeanor, brewed a cup of tea for Li Niang Zi.

"Mother! These scoundrels and wicked relatives are bound to be a bit troublesome! But we won't need them anymore!"

"My daughter has only been in the capital for a short time, but she has already become a dignified and elegant lady!"

"Don't worry, Mother! If someone spits in my face again, I promise I won't say a word or move; I'll just let it dry on its own!"

Upon hearing her fifth daughter Leshan's words, Li Niangzi turned her head and rolled her eyes.

Let alone her, probably no one present would believe those words! She was just using them to fool herself!

……

"Then we'll listen to me?" The five women of the Li family, along with Qiongnu, sat around a small table in the next room, having just completed the lottery ceremony.

Aunt Shouhua had good luck and drew the first lot.

According to their family's original rules, when a matter cannot be resolved and each side has its own opinion, they draw lots to determine who has the final say!

"We'll do as our eldest sister says!" The other younger sisters smiled faintly, accepting the outcome, and looked at their aunt, Shouhua, as they spoke.

To be honest, among the sisters, Shouhua is the most steady. They often rely on her for advice, and the younger sisters trust her a lot.

Now that she's drawn the first lot, we naturally have to listen to her!

"Mother's pain and sorrow are all because she is worried about the dowries of our Li family's daughters!"

Shouhua beckoned slightly, and her sisters immediately gathered around. They then whispered among themselves, "We're just wasting our family's wealth now; worrying won't help!"

"The only thing we can do is to help Mother pull herself together and find a business opportunity in the capital!"

"If the whole family works together to ensure they have enough to eat and wear, then the dowry issue will naturally be easier to resolve!"

"But the marriage prospects of my sisters are my biggest worry!"

"Regardless of her personal feelings, you must agree with her!"

As soon as Shouhua finished speaking, all the women nodded in agreement. As expected of the eldest sister! Her words were indeed insightful!

Li Niangzi was frowning and looking worried when she saw her five daughters and Qiong Nu walk over and happily surround her.

She was somewhat surprised. She had originally intended to ask her daughters when they were so happy, but then she saw Shouhua standing in front of her with a serious expression, saying, "Mother! Marriage is preordained by Heaven. How can it be determined by human hearts or wealth?"

"Now the Marquis is showing great favor to our Li family!"

Why should we wallow in self-pity here?

"In the past two days, I have seen that Marquis Wei does not care about these material possessions!"

"On the contrary, his wives and concubines were all women, no less capable than men!"

"Why don't we work hard and live a carefree life in the capital? That way, we'll be more likely to be seen favorably by the Marquis!"

"In the future, whichever sister enters the Marquis's mansion, she will certainly not be looked down upon by the Marquis's other wives and concubines!"

Shouhua's words made a lot of sense, and Li Niangzi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing them.

Yes! You can tell from the women like Zhao Zhangru who were burning incense together today that what the Marquis cares about is not money, but these interesting and distinctive women!

Aren't all five of Li family's daughters in line with the Marquis's requirements?

"We sisters have discussed it and made a decision!" Third Sister Kang Ning said, putting her arm around Li Niangzi's arm. "We're living in the Marquis's courtyard, so we can't just keep taking advantage of him like this!"

"Even if they are truly related by marriage, there's no reason for this to happen!"

"Besides, we are not related by marriage yet, so it would be impolite for us to stay here for free!"

"So let's use the remaining two hundred strings of cash to rent a shop and get the business up and running!"

"From now on, half of the monthly profits from the shop will be given to the Marquis, and it will all be used as rent for this residence!"

"This way we can live in peace and quiet, and the Marquis will think more highly of us!"

Kang Ning chuckled and rattled off all these words at once. Li Niangzi's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she listened, and she couldn't help but nod in approval repeatedly.

"That's right! That way, I can hold my head high when I see those noble people from the Marquis's mansion again!" Li Niangzi chuckled as she thought of this!

Seeing their mother's happy expression, the daughters finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Chapter 111 The Li family mother and daughter save up for their dowry! Business opens!

"Come on! Make way! Make way!"

"Sir, these are all excellent items! Would you like to take a look?"

"Young Master Hu, please come in!"

...As dawn broke, East Market Street gradually came alive, and Panlou, the largest restaurant on the entire street, had already opened for business.

As the most famous landmark on the street, a steady stream of customers flocks in as soon as the doors open.

At that moment, a window on the second floor of Panlou, facing the street, suddenly opened, and a young man with a gloomy face poked his head out and looked out at the street.

This man was Chai An, and one of his great hobbies was to look down from the second floor every morning and watch the hurried crowds below.

However, he had to give up this hobby for three days because of the red marks on his face from being hit by a football.

After finally waiting for the red mark to fade away, he looked down and discovered that the shop across the street had changed owners because it couldn't stay in business.

Even the plaque above the main gate had been changed by then.

"What's going on?" Chai An was stunned for a moment, then turned to his attendant and asked.

"Young master, you are unaware of this!" Upon hearing this, the attendant quickly bowed and stepped forward, saying, "This restaurant changed owners the other day! I heard it's a family of women who came from afar to the capital to make a living!"

"A family of women? No men?" Chai An was taken aback, and then the image of the Li family mother and daughters immediately came to mind.

At the same time, he secretly wondered, "Could it be such a coincidence? We just had a conflict with the six tigers of the Fan and Li families, and now they've brought their business right across from mine?"

If it's true, then it's really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road!

As Chai An was pondering this, he saw an oxcart slowly approaching from the distance and stopping right in front of the newly opened teahouse across the street.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, the first person to get off was the figure that Chai An could never forget—none other than Li Niangzi, the matriarch of the Li family.

Then, the eldest aunt Shouhua, the second aunt Fuhui, and the third aunt Kangning also got off the oxcart.

Apart from Fourth Sister Haode and Fifth Sister Leshan, the entire Li family was mobilized!

Of course, their appearance was no coincidence! Chai An was stunned for a moment, then he understood!

The newly opened teahouse across the street is indeed the business of the Li family, mother and daughter!

How could this mother and her daughters have moved so quickly? In just three days, they had taken over the entire shop, completed the basic setup, and even changed the signboard at the main entrance.

Logically speaking, it would be quite inconvenient for a family of women to handle affairs in the capital; there's no reason for them to be so quick!

Of course, the Li family mother and daughter were unaware that a pair of puzzled and resentful eyes were watching them from the window on the second floor opposite.

They are now fully immersed in their anticipation of the new life that is about to begin.

“Mother! You have five daughters, wouldn’t it be perfect to have five blessings?” Third Mother Kang Ning looked at the plaque above the main entrance, which read “Four Blessings Tea House”, and asked her mother with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe!" Lady Li chuckled heartily twice, then said while gently waving her round fan, "What do you know? It's far too early to hang up this last blessing!"

As Li Niangzi spoke, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, because she was already imagining the wonderful life she and her daughters would have in the capital in the future.

"People say that water overflows when it's full, and good fortune is easily broken when it's too much!" At this moment, the old lady Shouhua, who was standing next to her, also had a quiet and virtuous appearance. She slightly parted her red lips and said, "Since ancient times, too much good fortune has never been a good thing!"

"Mother is right! In my opinion, four 'Fu' (福, meaning blessing/good fortune) are just right!"

Aunt Shouhua's words made the mother, sisters, and even the old servant following behind nod in agreement.

It must be said that when it comes to being well-educated and courteous, among the five daughters of the Li family, the eldest daughter, Shouhua, truly stands out!

"Once all five of you are married, I'll hang up the plaque with the 'Five Blessings' on it!" Lady Li was even more pleased with her eldest daughter Shouhua's answer, and said while fanning herself with a round fan, "Let everyone in the capital see it!"

Upon hearing this, her daughter and the old servant covered their mouths and chuckled. After all, judging from the current situation, the Li family's life in the capital must be getting better and better!

However, a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in San Niang Kang Ning's heart. She felt as if some kind of danger was secretly watching her and her mother, so she subconsciously turned her head to look for them.

As a result, when she turned around, she saw Chai An on the second floor across the street looking in her direction, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Good grief! I didn't expect this annoying person to be so persistent!

However, Kang Ning at this time was different from the original storyline. She felt a deep disgust for Chai An! Moreover, with Wei Tingyu's outstanding performance preceding her, she felt even more that Chai An was unworthy of being presented to the public!

Thinking of this, Kang Ning couldn't help but roll his eyes, then turned to Li Niangzi and said, "Mother! Don't worry, the shop will definitely thrive here!"

At the same time, she thought that her teahouse would definitely be able to steal a small portion of the business from Panlou across the street, causing Chai An to suffer some financial losses, which made Kang Ning even happier.

After all, that day at the Fan residence, Chai An had kicked him with a football without any reason.
