Xia Dinghai asked: "Qianqian, are you going to the market in town? How about taking a ride?"
"No, my legs are not in good condition and I need exercise." Xia Qianqian refused, slowed down, and tried to distance herself from them.
Xia Dinghai said, "I heard that a man named Jiang destroyed your bricks yesterday, and you extorted some money from him?"
"Uncle, please be careful with your words. It's not about extortion or not. I'm just making a normal claim." Xia Qianqian subconsciously touched the ten taels of silver in her arms - no one should even think of taking her money!
"You are very capable. However, you are so arrogant at such a young age. Many people in the village dislike you. You will suffer without the support of an elder. If you really don't want to go home, that's okay. Your second uncle will support you in the future." Xia Dinghai persuaded him patiently, still wanting to learn the "Tile-making Technique".
Xia Qianqian sneered: "Second Uncle, have you forgotten? I have someone to back me up."
"You mean the stupid son of the landlord? Haha, don't be stupid. Madam Gu doesn't like your bad character and doesn't want you." Xia Dinghai laughed, "You are not destined to be a young lady."
"How do you know?" Xia Qianqian narrowed her eyes, "Have you been to Gu's house?"
Xia Dinghai said: "That's right."
"What did Mrs. Gu say?" Xia Qianqian's heart tightened. Was she going to be sold out
"Mrs. Gu said that a wild girl like you is not even worthy of carrying Young Master Gu's shoes."
Song and Xia Shanshan both looked at Xia Qianqian mockingly, waiting for her to be embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Xia Qianqian smiled and patted her chest: "This makes me feel relieved."
"What do you mean?" Xia Dinghai asked.
"I'm so beautiful and smart, I'm sure I'll be rich and powerful in the future. It's their loss if they look down on me." Xia Qianqian said half-jokingly and half-confidently.
If she were to marry again in this life, she would definitely choose someone she likes, have a free love relationship first, and then marry when she is satisfied. She couldn't just marry Gu Yanjing casually like in her previous life.
Alas, she hated it when she mentioned this! If it weren't for Gu Yanjing, how could she have traveled to ancient times to farm
"Shameless!" Xia Shanshan scolded. Who would praise themselves like this
"What's a face? Can it be eaten?" Xia Qianqian smiled. In times of famine, no matter how beautiful you are, it is useless. The most practical thing is to solve the problem of food and clothing.
This was the first time Xia Shanshan heard such a statement and she was speechless.
Xia Qianqian continued to mock: "Second sister is beautiful, like a flower. Second uncle, why don't you send Second sister over? Maybe the Gu family will like her and let her be a maid or foot-washing maid. It will bring honor to the family!"
Xia Shanshan's face changed drastically. When Grandpa came back from a trip to town, he called her over and looked at her for a long time. She had always been worried that Grandpa couldn't sell Xia Qianqian and would change his mind about her. Now, after hearing what Xia Qianqian said, she was even more frightened and trembled, shrinking into Song's arms: "Mom, look at what nonsense my eldest sister is talking about!"
"Bah!" Song spat out, "Our Shanshan will be a proper young mistress in the future, don't be afraid."
"Uh-huh."
Xia Qianqian shrugged. A poor and stingy "richest man" in a broken mountain village took herself too seriously. Back then, she was the wife of a domineering CEO on the national rich list!
"Husband, let's go without them," said Song.
Xia Dinghai glared at Xia Qianqian and drove the carriage away. The horse's hooves raised yellow dust all over the road, choking Xia Yunyun and making her cough. She said with tears in her eyes, "Sister, that's Dad's carriage."
"No, we're giving it to them. We'll buy a bigger and more beautiful new carriage later." Xia Qianqian used her sleeves to block the dust for Xia Yunyun, and waited until the carriage was far away before continuing to move forward.

Pingning Town
Qing Tong vividly described to Gu Changsheng what happened in Yangliu Village last night. Gu Changsheng smiled gently: "Not bad, well done!"
"Young master, we have to thank you for the pig skin glue. Otherwise, the man named Jiang would have run away long ago." Qingtong said.
"Of course." Gu Changsheng smiled, took out a carbon pen and a small notebook from the drawer, and wrote down neatly: 3. Xia Qianqian owes me two kilograms of pigskin glue.
The two items above are: 1. Xia Qianqian owes me five taels of silver for medical expenses. 2. Xia Qianqian owes me fifty bricks.
Qing Tong stretched his neck to see: "Master, what is this?"
"You don't understand." After Gu Changsheng finished writing, he locked the pen and notebook in the drawer.
Xia Qianqian, you owe me more and more, how can you be okay with it
