"Thank you, young lady, for ridding the people of this scourge."

"Thank you for your chivalrous heart, young lady."

The Green Bamboo Gang had been causing havoc in Qinghe County for many years, and many people suffered greatly but were powerless to resist. The government turned a blind eye and allowed them to wreak havoc in the area. However, they never expected that this group of villains would be dealt with by a thin little girl.

Wow, girls these days are so amazing!

Seeing how thin the little girl was, the people must be starving, so they came forward to offer her food.

Dog Egg and Su Ping'an were stuffed with many things by the people: vegetables, steamed buns, and a piece of pork belly, weighing at least half a pound.

Su Qianqian, her feet clad in tattered straw sandals, stepped on Cheng Hu's chest and warned, "If I ever see you bullying and rigging the market again, I'll break your legs."

"Grandma, spare my life!" Cheng Hu had never been so humiliated. He lost all his previous smugness and could only beg for mercy in a low voice.

As soon as Su Qianqian moved her foot away, Cheng Hu knelt down on the ground.

He was covered in rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs thrown by the people, and his forehead was swollen with a large bump from something thrown by someone. He was in a more disheveled state than ever before.

"I was blind and didn't recognize your great-aunt. I'll never dare to do it again. May I ask your name, madam?"

"I'm from the Su family of Lotus Village. You can find out about the Su family as soon as you enter the village, so remember that."

Su Qianqian understood perfectly well that if someone was asking where she was from, they were probably looking for revenge.

They were just looking for a trigger to cause a family split, and hoped that these people would cause a lot of trouble in Lotus Village.

The bigger the commotion, the better. When the time comes, Old Mrs. Su will be afraid of being implicated and will be eager to separate the third branch of the family. Perfect.

Gong Yu also realized that this Miss Su's answer was very straightforward, as if she was hoping that the Green Bamboo Gang would cause trouble in Lotus Village. How interesting.

"Thank you for showing mercy this time, Grandma." Cheng Hu spoke respectfully, but in reality, he was seething with hatred and wished he could skin the girl alive.

In Qinghe County, Cheng Hu was always the one beating others; today was the first time he had been beaten.

Behind him is a real boss named Zhao Feng, who is a truly formidable figure. When he gets angry, even the government is afraid of him.

Today, Zhao Feng went to Shahe Town, thirty miles away, to collect a debt. When Zhao Feng returns, we'll go to Lotus Village together to teach this arrogant girl a lesson.

I'll definitely kill those two siblings when the time comes.

After kowtowing and apologizing profusely, Cheng Hu and his group slunk away.

Su Pingan continued selling fish, and Gou Dan helped by hawking the fish.

Because Su Qianqian had just taught the bully a lesson on behalf of the people, many people helped her by buying fish.

Su Qianqian picked out two plump fish, strung them together with straw rope, and handed them to Mo Xiaobei, saying, "Here's the reward I promised you."

"Thank you, Miss Su."

Mo Xiaobei happily brought the fish to Gong Yu, "Young Master, this fish was given by Miss Su. Miss Su is the most remarkable young lady I have ever met, so her fish must be extraordinary as well."

Since the young master likes Miss Su, he must also like Miss Su's fish.

Mo Xiaobei could tell from the shimmering fish scales that it must taste incredibly delicious.

Gong Yu stared at the fish for quite a while before making arrangements for their placement: "Send the fish to the restaurant next door and have the chef prepare them—one steamed and one braised."

After thinking for a moment, he instructed, "Go and continue to keep an eye on Miss Su."

"Yes, Master." Mo Xiaobei imagined: "Watching" means protecting. Earlier in the carriage, Master even asked Miss Su if she wanted to become his person.

Su Qianqian still had a lot to do. Her family was short of food and clothing, and since she had finally come to the county town, she naturally wanted to buy a lot of things.

"Brother, Cheng Hu just got beaten up, so no one should dare to come looking for trouble for the time being. You stay here and sell fish, I'll go buy some sesame cakes to take home for Mom, Dad, and Xiao Bao."

Buying sesame cakes was just an excuse; Su Qianqian actually wanted to sell the two oxen in her spatial storage, get the money, and then use it to buy clothes, shoes, and food...

The two cows were brought back from the Fang family earlier.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, cattle were subject to control, and the government stipulated that the buying and selling of cattle had to be registered with the government.

Therefore, the cattle in the space cannot be sold directly to the livestock trading market in the west city; they can only be sold to the black market.

As for the inkstone that the Fang family acquired, I heard it's quite valuable. Selling it in the small Qinghe County would attract too much attention. It would be best to find an opportunity to sell it to a more distant place in the future.

"Okay, little sister, go quickly."

Gou Dan picked up a stick left behind by the Green Bamboo Gang, slung it over his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Sister Qianqian, I will protect Brother Ping An."

"Okay, then I'll leave my older brother in your care."

Su Qianqian was passing by the entrance of the Guose Tianxiang clothing store when, by sheer coincidence, she ran into Fang Cheng.

Accompanying them was a beautifully dressed young lady, accompanied by a pretty maid.

The elegantly dressed young lady entered the clothing store first.

As Fang Cheng walked behind and brushed past Su Qianqian, he whispered a warning, "Su Qianqian, I beg you to have some self-awareness and stop bothering me. The person I truly like is this Miss Tang, the magistrate's niece."

It turns out that he fell in love with this Miss Tang, which is why he killed the original owner of the body, drugged her, and sold her to human traffickers.

This creature, worse than a pig or a dog, is dressed like a respectable person, in a scholar's robe that makes him appear very refined, but inside he is a beast.

I really want to throw a bucket of night soil on him and see how pathetic he looks.

Su Qianqian deliberately raised her voice and said, "Fang Cheng, we are engaged, and my family has kept the marriage certificate in perfect condition."

The sound was loud, and Miss Tang obviously heard it. Her originally cheerful face turned pale, and she covered her chest with her right hand, as if she was very sad.

Fang Cheng's face was even paler than Miss Tang's. He roared angrily, "Su Qianqian, I'm warning you, get out of here! Don't go into shops you can't afford, or you'll embarrass yourself."

In his view, the third branch of the Su family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, so it was impossible for Su Qianqian to afford anything from the Guose Tianxiang Clothing Shop.

Su Qianqian refused.

You think I won't come in just because you won't let me? I'll make sure you don't get your way.

I was originally planning to go to the black market first, but since you provoked me first, I'll go to the clothing store first instead.

The clothing store has a rather grand name, "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance Clothing Store," and I thought it would be full of luxurious clothes, but I didn't expect it to also sell ordinary cotton clothes.

The female shopkeeper warmly greeted Su Qianqian, "Miss, are you looking to buy clothes? We have quite a variety of cotton fabrics in our shop."

Tang Yuerao dug her fingernails into her palm until they bled. Was this female shopkeeper blind? She ignored Tang Yuerao, the distinguished guest who had come in first, and instead went to serve a poor peasant girl!

Don't you even consider whether the other party can afford it? No wonder your shop is deserted and has no business.

Tang Yuerao completely forgot the decorum that a lady of a respectable family should maintain and yelled at the female shopkeeper, "Get this poor peasant girl out of here right now!"

Su Qianqian squeezed in front of the female shopkeeper, causing Tang Yuerao to stumble, and showed her the one hundred taels of silver notes she had just received from the county government.

"Who says I can't afford it? One hundred taels can buy a lot of clothes, right, shopkeeper?"

The female shopkeeper's smile grew even more genuine, as if she was about to strike it rich. "Of course! I can buy lots of clothes now. The most expensive dress in our shop, this Rainbow Skirt, is only 30 taels of silver."

The dress the shopkeeper mentioned was hanging in the most prominent position in the middle of the shop. It was exceptionally gorgeous, with colorful butterflies embroidered on it that looked so real they seemed ready to take flight. It was the only decent garment in the shop.

Su Qianqian isn't like the original owner of this body, who's obsessed with romance. For her, making money is the most important thing; nothing is more important than making money.

Seeing Fang Cheng coaxing Tang Yuerao, she took the opportunity to whisper to the female shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, if I can sell it for a higher price, can I get a share?"

"That's natural. For the portion exceeding 30 taels, I'll give you 20%, oh no, I'll give you 30%."

This 30-tael garment has been hanging in the shop for a year, and it just won't sell.

Despite the imposing name of this shop, "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance," the female owner borrowed money to open it, and business was so bad that she could no longer stay afloat.

These past few days, creditors have been flocking to my door to collect debts, and I urgently need money to tide me over.

The female shopkeeper is planning to close down tomorrow.

If this young lady can really help sell this dress, even if it only sells for 30 taels, it would be a blessing, as it would solve our immediate crisis.

The female shopkeeper silently prayed in her heart that if this little girl could really help her sell the clothes, she would burn incense and pray to Buddha every day, praying that the little girl would live a long and healthy life.
