However, Xiaoxiao put away the contract and patted her second brother lovingly. “There’s always someone better. I never felt that I had the ability to control Young Master Li.”
The more Ning Anhui listened, the more confused he became. “Then why?” Xiaoxiao stopped smiling. At this moment, Ning Anhui felt that his sister’s expression and aura were not inferior to Young Master Li’s at all.
He s just taking advantage of the situation.”
However, although Li Muyan wanted her help, she was also borrowing the Li Family’s power.
In this ancient era where status was important, she had no power or influence. Even if there were peerless geniuses, there was no room for them to use their strategies.
Xiaoxiao flicked the first rule of the contract and smiled. No matter how many milk tea shops the Li Family opened, they had to use her brand.
The contract stipulated that the shops opened after the teaching was completed, and had to use the name of “So It’s You” Milk Tea Shop. Moreover, the entrance of the shop and all the cutlery had to be printed with a pattern specially customized by Xiaoxiao.
Li Muyan sat in the house for a long time on the day he received the special picture of the shop. When he came out, he seemed to be smiling bitterly and admiringly. When Shopkeeper Xu accompanied him to set up a refreshment window at the entrance of Fragrance Restaurant, he heard his Boss say, “I still underestimated her.”
The door accessory that Xiaoxiao had gotten someone to customize swayed in the wind. Shopkeeper Xu pinched it and looked at it for a long time, but he could not tell what this scribble-like pattern was.
Li Muyan took it from him and pointed at it from another direction. “Xiao.” According to the rules of the contract, this token had to be hung all-year-round and the pattern had to be printed on all the equipment. If they could do this, new recipes would be given for free in the future. Otherwise, it would be at a different price.
Li Muyan cherished her talent. “Old Xu, do you think it’s possible for us to pull Miss Ning into the Li Family?”
Shopkeeper Xu rubbed his palms together. “To be honest, Shopkeeper Liu and I actually have the same thought. Miss Ning, she’s a good seedling in the business world.”
Mrs. Shen came to look for her as soon as she heard that she was going to share the benefits of the milk tea shop.
Xiaoxiao was almost burnt by the way Mrs. Shen was looking at her. “What’s wrong?”
Mrs. Shen accused her and Xiaoxiao was between laughter and tears. “I only gave them the recipe for milk tea. You’re the only one who has the Mianmian Cake, Cloud Cake and Taro Cake Roll cake’s recipe. By the way, have you found an apprentice?”
Mrs. Shen frowned. “Why do I feel that you can’t wait to throw everything away?”
The other chefs wished they could bring their culinary skills into the coffin, but she taught everyone like a money distributor.
She had really guessed correctly. As someone who had a strong pursuit of delicacies, how could Xiaoxiao be satisfied with a small milk tea shop?
Moreover, how could she study more delicacies if she guarded this tiny piece of land every day?
All the delicious crayfish were waiting for her in the paddy field!
In order to make the appearance of the crayfish more reasonable, Xiaoxiao specially found an opportunity to put them into the Dusk River in large quantities. Recently, many villagers would see one or two of them when fishing. Occasionally, there would be people who would study them curiously. For the time being, everyone only knew that these things eat leeches under the reminder of the Ning Family, but they would not bite the roots of the rice. Raising them in the rice field was really a good help in removing insects.
After knowing the use of this thing, Old Madam Ning smashed a bowl angrily. However, other than receiving an inexplicable glance from Old Sir Ning and Second Uncle Ning’s disdainful mockery, no one paid attention to her. Even her youngest son, who she doted on the most, only said unhappily, “Mother, are you going to let me eat properly?”
As the exam approached, Little Uncle Ning became increasingly frustrated. At this moment, he even threw away his chopsticks and muttered that he wanted to go back to his room to study.
Second Uncle Ning couldn’t stand his younger brother’s pretentiousness now. He spat. “As if he’s already a Master.”
Without his eldest brother and his family busying themselves, he increasingly felt that his younger brother and sister’s idle lifestyle was an eyesore. His parents were biased, so he simply pushed his bowl and chopsticks after he finished eating. He stood up and left. When Second Aunt Ning saw the way the head of the family was acting, coupled with the fact that she had long fallen out with her mother-in-law during the day they split up, she wiped her mouth and left.
Old Madam Ning was dumbfounded. “Fengcai, Cuihua, you’re leaving just like that?”
Second Uncle Ning asked, “What else?”
Second Aunt Ning spat. “Mother, don’t be too biased. Little Uncle and Little Aunt have good arms and legs, but you don’t want them to work. One of us is injured and the other is pregnant, but you have the cheek to let us do it? Why don’t we talk to the junior officer and see if this makes sense?”
The old residence was now hated by all in Fortune Village. Old Madam Ning didn’t want to cause trouble, so she could only endure the pain in her waist and clean up herself.
After enjoying life for many years, she was no longer a meticulous person. She soaked the bowl and chopsticks in the water and took them out after casually swinging them a few times. She was the most diligent in cursing.
The second branch turned a deaf ear to these voices. Second Aunt Ning had not seen her man for many days, so she was not very obedient as she lay on the bed. However, Second Uncle Ning only felt annoyed when he saw her face. He smacked his lips and got off the bed.
Second Aunt Ning was dumbfounded. “Husband, where are you going?” Second Uncle Ning didn’t even look at her. “Why? Do I have to report to you where I go?”
He had nowhere to go. He did not know what had possessed the villagers, but they could not stop talking about his eldest brother’s family. He gritted his teeth and felt uncomfortable listening to them talk about how good the grain was planted and how grand the new house was.
He went to the eldest branch angrily to take a look. The red bricks, high walls, and green tiles made his eyes turn red with jealousy.
In the past, the dilapidated courtyard door and fence were replaced by the awe-inspiring courtyard wall. From the outside, one could not see the situation in the courtyard, but they could see the high roof-it was actually a two-story building! What was he showing off for?
What right did Ning Fengnian have! Since he was young, how could he compare to him in any way? He was the one who had his leftovers for food, clothes, and necessities. He didn’t dare to disobey them. Now, he was still ’ hiding in that dilapidated house in the old residence. What right did Ning Fengnian have to live in such a building!
Second Uncle Ning, whose face was twisted, clenched his fists uncontrollably. He wanted to go forward again, but he realized that the surrounding villagers were staring at him warily. There was even a burly helper who picked up a hoe warily.
Second Uncle Ning spat on the ground.
What the hell? Were they guarding against him like a thief?
“It’s just a little money!”
“If I wasn’t unlucky, I would have f*cking hit the jackpot long ago.” With this thought in mind, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Two refugees who had come to the village to do odd jobs were walking past him with their heads lowered. “I’m so lucky today.”
“That’s right. I’m preparing to pack up and return to my hometown. The money I won today is enough for me to live without worry for the rest of my life.”
“Look, it’s all thanks to me reminding you to go to the brokerage shop just now, right? You just mortgaged your wife and sister for a moment and you earned back the money.. Weren’t you unaffected at all?”
