Chapter 114 Money is the King
Chen Fang pointed at her cousin and cursed.
"It's all because of you. You, an incompetent father, killed my son. You have to compensate me for my son!"
In the morning, when Chen Fang saw that her cousin had not returned yet, she took Liu Erzhuang out to find a doctor, but the doctor refused to treat her without money.
She went to several medical clinics, but was ruthlessly kicked out every time.
She had no choice but to return to her residence and borrow money from her neighbors.
The neighbors knew what kind of person her cousin was, so no one was willing to lend her money. She knelt down and kowtowed, and finally begged the neighbors to lend her some money.
But when she carried Liu Erzhuang back to the clinic, Liu Erzhuang was already beyond saving.
Chen Fang walked on the street in a daze, holding the dead Liu Erzhuang and crying loudly.
She walked aimlessly, and when she was tired, she sat down on the side of the road.
She was about to regret it so much. How could she be so stupid to believe the sweet words of the man in front of her and be fooled by him?
If it were Liu Fugui, even if he knew that Liu Erzhuang was not his biological son, he would not ignore Liu Erzhuang.
At this moment, she completely understood how good Liu Fugui was.
But it's too late, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Liu Erzhuang will not come back.
Now that her child was gone, Chen Fang felt like a soulless walking corpse. She was no longer afraid of her cousin and started to fight with him.
The cousin was not a pushover either. Seeing that his son was dead and he could no longer squeeze any money out of Chen Fang, he didn't hesitate and just tied Chen Fang up.
"You bitch, you dare to hit me? I'll sell you to a brothel!"
As expected, Chen Fang was successfully sold to a brothel by her cousin.
Here, she was tortured every day. If she did not accept customers, she would be beaten and even deprived of water and food.
She wanted to die, but the people in the brothel didn't give her the chance to die. From then on, she began an inhuman life.
……
Su Xiaoxiao's shop was tidied up, and Lan Ling took Su Xiaoxiao to the shop to check it out.
Lan Ling said with a hint of pride, "Sister, take a look at this shop. Are you satisfied with how it's been cleaned up? If there's anything wrong, I'll have someone clean it up again."
Su Xiaoxiao looked around and found that all the furniture and supplies were brand new and all the necessary daily necessities were available. She nodded with satisfaction.
"Sister Ling'er is so considerate, I am naturally relieved."
"Sister, have you thought of a name for the shop?"
"How about calling it Su's Noodle House? If we open another shop in the future, we'll also start it with Su's, which will make it a chain store!"
Lan Ling's eyes lit up, and he admired Su Xiaoxiao even more.
"Great, great! I didn't expect my sister to be so ambitious and even want to open a chain of stores!"
"People always strive for higher goals. If conditions permit, the more money you make, the better!"
Lan Ling agreed with this very much.
She came from a merchant family and knew the importance of money from a young age. She didn't think there was anything wrong with smelling of money.
"That's right! Money is king!"
The two looked at the almanac and thought that ten days later would be a good day, so they decided to open the store ten days later.
The two talked about something else, and then Su Xiaoxiao went to order the plaque.
In the next few days, when Su Xiaoxiao was selling hot dry noodles, she told her customers the specific location and opening date of the noodle shop, hoping that they would come to support her.
After hearing this, the customers agreed and promised that they would definitely come.
Seeing that the soy sauce was almost ready, Su Xiaoxiao bought another carriage for the convenience of transporting the soy sauce.
The carriage was very expensive, costing dozens of taels of silver. When she drove the carriage back home, the whole village came to watch.
This is also the first horse-drawn carriage in Dahe Village.
Everyone praised Su Xiaoxiao for her ability, saying that she could make money and drive a horse-drawn carriage at such a young age.
Seeing that Liu Fugui was also in the crowd, Su Xiaoxiao called Liu Fugui aside.
"Uncle Fugui, I'd like you to help me deliver soy sauce to the county town. What do you think?"
Liu Fugui didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to ask him to do something, so he agreed immediately.
"It's just great."
Since divorcing Chen Fang, Liu Fugui has never gone out to work.
Every time he goes out to work, it takes him many days, and he won't leave Liu Dazhuang alone at home.
If I could work for Su Xiaoxiao, not only would I not have to leave home, but I could also make money, which would be a win-win situation.
"Okay, then it's settled. The first batch of soy sauce will be ready in two days. Then you can drive the carriage to the county town to help me deliver the soy sauce!"
"Good good!"
The soy sauce business was on track, and everyone was doing their job, so Su Xiaoxiao didn't have to worry about it. She moved her family to the shop in the county town.
When the villagers saw Su Xiaoxiao's family moving, they learned that Su Xiaoxiao was going to open a shop.
As expected, Su Xiaoxiao successfully won praise from the villagers again.
Even the villagers who had previously looked down on Su Xiaoxiao came over to greet Su Xiaoxiao's family and see them off.
When they saw Jiang Xingjun put his luggage on Su Xiaoxiao's carriage, they realized that Su Xiaoxiao had invited Jiang Xingjun to work in the shop. The villagers were completely jealous and could not hide their envy in their eyes.
Some villagers even regretted why they did not take the initiative to help Su Xiaoxiao's family.
If they had extended a helping hand to Su Xiaoxiao's family at the beginning, they would probably be the ones being taken care of now.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Once you miss it, you miss it.
It’s like the wind this year will never reach you from last year.
After receiving the first batch of soy sauce, Guo Fu couldn't wait to taste it. His eyes lit up. The soy sauce was much better than he had imagined.
If his food shop also uses this soy sauce, it will greatly improve the taste of the food and will also help his business improve.
He originally thought that Lan Ling ordered Su Xiaoxiao's soy sauce just to repay a favor, but he didn't expect that the soy sauce was really good.
His precious granddaughter was becoming more and more discerning and business-minded, and he couldn't help but praise Lan Ling again and again.
Jiang Xingjun drove a horse-drawn carriage, taking Su Xiaoxiao's family and Dahuang to the county town.
Zhao Wanzhu and Su Chengen were very happy because it was their first time riding a horse-drawn carriage.
A horse-drawn carriage is faster and more comfortable than an ox-drawn carriage.
Like a curious baby, Su Chengen lifted the curtain of the carriage, kept looking out, and smiled foolishly at the scenery that kept moving behind him.
Dahuang also came over and sat next to Su Chengen, leaning on the window and looking out.
With the horse-drawn carriage, the travel time from Dahe Village to the county town was greatly shortened.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the door of the noodle shop's backyard.
Jiang Xingjun skillfully drove the carriage into the yard, and several people began to move things into the house.
They each had a room, and since the bedding and other items were new, they just had to tidy up briefly and everything would be fine.
In the next few days, Su Xiaoxiao will teach Jiang Xingjun how to make hot dry noodles, and she plans to add a few new dishes, so she will not go out to sell hot dry noodles.
Jiang Xingjun listened carefully to Su Xiaoxiao's arrangements. After she finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and said something casually.
"I haven't seen Lanlan for a long time. I don't know how Lanlan is doing."
Su Xiaoxiao has always been thinking about Jiang Lanlan, but she has been busy and unable to take the time to see her.
She thought about it and suggested, "Why don't we go see Lanlan tomorrow?"
