Seeing him , Yang Chuxia guessed he felt confident about it. She smiled and said, "Well then, I’ll leave it to you, Uncle Dayong. Even if it doesn’t work out, it’s not a big deal. It’s not something particularly important."
Yang Chuxia didn’t want to put too much pressure on him, worried that it might hamper his progress. Some people tend to lose their creativity under immense pressure, so she added in a casual tone.
"Okay, I understand."
After discussing the issue, Yang Chuxia chatted with Brother An and Land Officer Yang. She played with Land Officer’s grandson for a while before heading home.
On her way back, the villagers saw her with Brother An again, which fuelled their curiosity. However, owing to her prickly personality, no one dared to whisper anything in her presence. However, there were bound to be some behind-the-scenes comments.
"By the way, Brother An, are you going to keep helping Shopkeeper Li at his restaurant?"
"Why do you ask?" Zi’an gave her a glance.
"I was thinking there’s not much work this year and we can manage the workload. But as things get busier in the future, we won’t be able to handle it all ourselves. So, I want you to help me." Besides, he deserved to get involved as he was part of the business.
Upon hearing this, Zi’an pondered for a moment then said, "Okay, let’s wait until next year then. When you’re too busy to manage everything, I will talk to Shopkeeper Li and come to help you."
"Great, it’s settled then."
When both of them arrived back at Yang Chuxia’s house, sure enough, Ms.Liu and Ms.Qian from Wang Family hadn’t left yet. Hearing that Dachuan’s family had bought some wasteland for cultivation, Wang Yongshan had rushed to help with that.
Ms.Wang was left at home chatting with Ms.Liu. Ms.Qian was sitting by with a wooden expression on her face. The three young sisters had nothing to do and were idling in the yard.
As soon as they saw Yang Chuxia, they exclaimed, "Oh, you’re really unsympathetic, cousin! Your cousins don’t visit your house very often, but you can’t even spare the time to chat with us. We didn’t even see you half the day!"
Wang Yunxia seemed to have quite a careless personality, while Wang Yunlian was a bit gentler. So far, these two seemed to suit her tastes.
At this, she chuckled, "My apologies. I had important business."
"Alright, you’re so busy," retorted Wang Yunxia. Hanging onto her arm, she complained, "Earlier, our aunt was bragging about you again. She said your household’s current situation is all thanks to you. You are amazing, cousin. However, you should really teach that step-grandmother of yours a harsh lesson, otherwise, she won’t even know her place."
Wang Yunlian chimed in, "Exactly, it’s shocking how you thought of partnering with the restaurant. But remember, you should definitely bring some of those crabs and shrimps for us to taste tonight."
"Of course, I’ll make sure of it. I’ll prepare enough let you two feast tonight."
Seeing the Wang sisters getting along with Yang Chuxia, Qian Xiaoqing huffed angrily and went to find her mother, Ms.Qian from the Wang Family.
Wang Yunlian looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Xiaxia, I’m sorry, she is spoiled by my mother."
"No problem, I’m not going to argue with a child." However, considering how arrogant Qian Xiaoqing was, despite relying on others, she couldn’t help feeling disgusted.
"Why is she staying at your place?"
Wang Yunlian glanced at the room and whispered to Yang Chuxia, "Her mother is dead. My uncle, being a man, can’t take care of all his children. Some things inappropriate for a man to handle. So, my mother took her in. But I heard my mother and uncle plan to marry her off to my brother in the future."
