The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Madam Sun added, "You don't know, do you? Xiao Bao from the third branch of the family has been sent to Qingsong Academy by Qian Yatou."

Few people from the surrounding villages study at Qingsong Academy, firstly because the fees are expensive, and secondly because Qingsong Academy has very high admission requirements.

So everyone in the old house found it unbelievable.

It had only been a short time since the family separated, and Xiao Bao had already started studying at Qingsong Academy.

This shows that the brat from the third wife's family really did make money.

Grandpa Su was very worried.

Xiao Bao doesn't look like a member of the Su family at all; he must have taken after the Luo family who live far away in the capital.

If Xiao Bao does well in his studies and goes to the capital for the imperial examinations, he will most likely be exposed.

After the Fang family mother and daughter left, Old Master Su decided to hold a grand family meeting.

Except for Su Bing, who stayed in Lotus Village to lead the villagers in reclaiming wasteland, all the other members of the three families were in the county town.

He asked the eldest brother to call Su Bing, but the eldest brother returned alone very quickly.

"Father, the third son doesn't want to come. He says the family has already separated and he doesn't want to get involved with us."

The old man looked righteous. “Blood ties are not something he can sever just because he wants to. What I mean is that now that the third son is successful, he should help his eldest and second eldest brothers. If he ignores us, we will go directly to Gu’s Restaurant and criticize Qian’s daughter for being unfilial in front of the customers.”

The whole family will need money for travel and meals tomorrow, so the old man asked the old woman for ten taels of silver as travel expenses.

The old lady reluctantly took out the silver and handed it to Old Master Su.

"Old man, once you get the money from Gu's, remember to pay me back double."

After receiving the money, Old Master Su made a decision: "It's too late today. Tomorrow, let's go directly to Gu's restaurant on Fuxing Street to find Third Brother's wife and Qian'er. With filial piety as a guarantee, they will definitely agree to let you work as managers at Gu's restaurant."

Grandpa Su made the arrangements very clear: "Eldest son, second son, from now on you two brothers will manage the accounts at Gu's company, so that the money won't be embezzled by Qian'er's uncle."

The two brothers' eyes lit up. They had heard from the Fang family that Gu's business was booming, and they were sure they could make a lot of money managing the accounts.

The two brothers had only ever been to brothels in town, never in the county seat. They imagined getting money from a restaurant and drinking as much as they wanted – it sounded wonderful.

After the meeting, the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife each returned to their own rooms.

Su Ronghua said excitedly, "Dad, you and Uncle will be the managers of the money, and what about me? What will I be in charge of? How about I manage the kitchen?"

The second son's wife reached out and grabbed her son's ear, "Get out, get out! You can't even cook, yet you're in charge of the kitchen. You only deserve to eat shit, and even shit can't compare to a hot, lazy bum."

The second son's wife was a shrew. Although she didn't dare to stand up for herself in front of the old lady, she was very fierce in front of her husband and son, and often beat people.

"I beg you two to use your brains, okay? When have the people from the old mansion ever won against Qian Ya? Tomorrow, you both have to pretend to be sick and don't offend Qian Ya, or Er Ya's job will be ruined."

Er Ya is going to be the manager in the future.

"If Er Ya's job falls through, I'll kill you both while you and your son are asleep."

Zhu Ronghua shrank back in fright.

That very night, the second son's wife went to the foot of the mountain with a lantern to inform Su Bing of the old man's plan and, incidentally, to show her loyalty.

"Third brother, I'm an upright man, I would never scheme against Qian'er. I'll also stop your second brother and Ronghua tomorrow. You must put in a good word for me with Qian'er then."

When the second son's wife divided the family property, she received a share of the silver. She was rich and in a good mood, so she bought a lot of nice things from the county town and brought back two packets of candied fruit with her.

"These are for Qianqian and Xiaobao."

Even if Qian doesn't like the candied fruit, it doesn't matter; at least her loyalty has been shown.

The next day, when the eldest son of the Su family came to the second son's house to call for help, the second son's wife blocked the second son and Ronghua with a kitchen knife.

"If either of you dares to go today, I'll make you eunuchs."

The second son was so frightened that he quickly covered his crotch and dared not think about going to the county town anymore.

He could only say through the door, "Brother, my legs hurt and I can't walk. You and Dad go first."

After the old man walked away, the second son's wife curled her lip and said, "You two just wait and see, they'll definitely get what's coming to them if they cause trouble in the county town."

"Qianqian knows some emperor in the capital, and his name sounds very powerful. I'm not letting you and your father go with us for your own good."

Grandpa Su and his eldest son's family were unaware that Su Bing had received the news last night and had already driven a mule cart to the county town overnight.

A large group of people first went to the village chief's house to borrow an oxcart.

The eldest brother was unreliable and loved gambling. He spoke in a somewhat arrogant manner. "Village chief, do you know Gu's Restaurant in the county town? It's run by my third brother's family. Quickly lend me your oxcart. I'm in a hurry to go to the restaurant to be the manager and help my third brother's family."

The village chief's wife thought to herself, "Pah! You're more likely to make things worse than help."

The village chief refused: "Our family is also going on a long trip, so we can't lend you our oxcart."

After the old man and his group had walked away, the village chief asked his wife, "Aren't you worried about Qian'er?"

"What's there to worry about? You know Qian's abilities. In Qian's eyes, the Su family are nothing but clowns."

The village chief thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

The Qingzhu Gang, which had been terrorizing Qinghe County for many years, was wiped out as soon as they came to the village to cause trouble for Qian Yatou.

Later, Qian Yatou slapped the county magistrate's own niece in the face, and the Fang family said that the county magistrate would definitely send people to arrest Qian Yatou's family.

As a result, the county magistrate didn't dare to arrest anyone.

Moreover, Qian Yatou is not afraid of the county magistrate; if she were, she wouldn't have opened a restaurant in the county town.

The Su family failed to borrow an oxcart from the village chief, so they could only curse the village chief as they walked to the town, planning to take a horse-drawn carriage to the county seat once they arrived.

Grandpa Su was getting old, and he wasn't in good condition when he arrived in town.

She fainted as soon as she got into the carriage.

Old Master Su pinched the philtrum for a long time before finally waking the old man up.

A large group of people finally found the entrance to Gu's restaurant, but the old man, due to exhaustion, accidentally bumped into a woman dressed in fine clothes.

This woman was none other than Tang Yuerao, whose confinement had been lifted ahead of schedule.

Su Qianqian really didn't expect things to be so coincidental. Last night, her father came to inform her that the people from the old house were going to cause trouble, so she asked Mo Xiaobei, who was having a late-night snack at the shop, to reveal his identity as an official to scare the people from the old house.

Unexpectedly, the old man bumped into Tang Yuerao, and his old pipe burned a hole in the butterfly-embroidered dress she was wearing.

Very good, it seems Mo Xiaobei doesn't need to take action.

Su Qianqian quickly stepped forward to help Grandpa Su up, and greeted him warmly, "Grandfather, you've finally arrived! Your granddaughter has missed you so much!"

Grandpa Su felt that the girl's attitude was a bit strange. She had never been so enthusiastic towards him, her grandfather, before. It felt like she didn't want him to die, but rather that she wanted him dead.

The eldest son's wife was terrified. She recognized Tang Yuerao; she had seen Tang Yuerao when she visited Lotus Village last time.

She quickly and quietly reminded the old man, "Father, this woman is Magistrate Tang's niece; we mustn't offend her."

When the old man heard that the other party was the county magistrate's niece, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Old Master Su was also very scared. How could he have offended the magistrate's niece as soon as he stepped out the door?

Su Qianqian stood in front of the old man and pleaded, "Miss Tang, please don't hit my grandfather. Hit me instead."

The eldest couple exchanged a puzzled look, thinking, "Has the third wife's daughter taken the wrong medicine today? Why is she so protective of the old man? Something feels off."

If you were to ask Tang Yuerao who she hated the most, it would naturally be Su Qianqian. However, Magistrate Tang advised her to be patient and not offend Su Qianqian until the Inspector returned to the capital.

We can't offend Su Qianqian herself, but that doesn't mean we can't target her family.

Since Su Qianqian cares so much about this grandfather, then let's give him a proper "hospitality".

Tang Yuerao brought eight guards with her today, indicating she was well-prepared.

"Guards! This old bastard has dirtied my new clothes and burned a hole in them! Beat him to death!"

Grandpa Su had walked too much that day and was already feeling quite tired. After only two blows, he felt dizzy and disoriented. Fearing that a few more punches might be fatal, he quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Can we pay you back?"

When he begged for mercy, he was holding a silver ingot with 10 taels of silver in his hand. He had used change to ride in the carriage and hadn't touched the small silver ingot.

"You scoundrel, you think you can give me ten taels of silver to appease a beggar? This dress of mine cost three hundred taels of silver, and your granddaughter can vouch for it."

The rainbow dress Tang Yuerao is wearing today is the one that Su Qianqian tricked her into buying for three hundred taels of silver. The butterflies on it are embroidered beautifully, as if they are about to take flight.
