Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Mom won't eat you, why are you so nervous?"

Jiang Lianzhu looked at Liao Xiaoan's stupid look and shook her head helplessly.

She has improved the tempers of these three cubs, but they don't look very smart... Well, after a while, they will have to be sent to school early.

"No, not nervous."

The tips of Liao Xiaoan's ears turned red, as if he had been exposed, and he ducked to the side.

He won't talk too much at times like this anymore!

Jiang Lianzhu shook him a little, cleaned up the mess on the table and returned to the house.

Setting up a stall outside all the time was not an option. She would definitely have to rent a store in the town.

It's just that renting a store is still a lot of money. It is estimated that when a store comes down, she will have to cut off at least half of the money in her hands. Her flesh aches!

Jiang Lianzhu has always been a do-it-yourself person. She didn't rush to set up a stall the next day, and rented the shop in a hurry.

The shopkeeper who rented the store looked at her several times when signing the contract. The more Jiang Lianzhu looked at her, the more she felt something was wrong, so she touched her face.

"What's on my face?"

"No, it's nothing." The store owner immediately waved his hand to cover up his discomfort.

"Then why did you look at me like that just now? Or do you think there is something wrong with this shop?" Jiang Lianzhu asked one after another, with the attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

She has always been sensitive to people's eyes, but there was something wrong with the look on this store owner's face.

"Well, let's tell the truth to the girl. I wonder if the girl has heard the rumors on the street while walking along?"

The shopkeeper was an honest man and he answered after a while.

"What rumor?"

"Since last night, some people in the town have said that the pear cream sold by the girl is defective. There are also a few men who wanted to help the women in the family seek justice, but in the blink of an eye they were arrested by people from the Governor's Mansion - —”

When the store owner said this, he lowered his voice and gestured to Jiang Lianzhu, asking her to put her ears closer.

"So they say that the girl has someone in the Governor's Mansion, and now she wants to suppress Baiyao Hall and directly monopolize the medicine in the town!"

"what?"

Jiang Lianzhu raised her eyebrows and laughed angrily at the store owner's words.

In the past, the original person was just like a street rat that everyone yelled at. If he could really be related to him in the Governor's Mansion, he would not be praised by the whole village.

Now this rumor is completely groundless.

"Girl, I didn't say these words. I just learned what those people said..."

The store owner became angry when he saw Jiang Lianzhu and immediately ended the relationship.

He held the contract that Jiang Lianzhu had signed, took her money, and left without saying a word, for fear that he would be implicated.

Jiang Lianzhu stood there without leaving in a hurry.

She was not in a hurry to deal with the rumors. She could count the people who had hatred against her on one hand, and she could guess their names by just thinking about them with her toes.

The most important thing now is my own store.

Although she rented a store that had been renovated, she couldn't just sell pear cream in the store. As time went by, the items sold would definitely not be as popular as before.

It's just that it's not practical to ask her to think of other things out of thin air now. She can only take it one step at a time and take her time.

Jiang Lianzhu cleaned the shop and saw the sun setting slightly before planning to leave.

But before she even took a step, someone appeared in front of her out of thin air. She looked up and saw - it was Master Qian.

"Why didn't Ms. Jiang go out to the stall today? Didn't this snow pear cream sell well in the past few days?"

Master Qian asked knowingly, his small eyes kept turning, looking at the shop from beginning to end.

The shop is a good shop and the place is a good place.

It's just that someone as ignorant as Jiang Lianzhu still wants to steal business in the town?

It’s obviously just a daydream!

"It's just because the snow pear ointment sells so well that it has attracted the jealousy of some pests. If you keep this in mind, forget it, but you have to hire someone to destroy my stall..."

Jiang Lianzhu slowly talked about this matter, while shaking her head feeling a little regretful.

The smile on Mr. Qian's face did not change at all, he didn't care what sweet words Jiang Lianzhu said.

"But that person did catch my fancy. I happened to have a plan for a shop. I hadn't made up my mind before, but it's different now."

Jiang Lianzhu added immediately.

She looked extremely satisfied, and she couldn't seem to be annoyed by this matter at all.

The smile on Mr. Qian's face suddenly froze, and he felt like he was making a wedding dress for someone.

Is it possible that he spent a lot of money to do these things, but he was also helped by others?

"It's getting dark soon. If Mr. Qian has nothing to do, don't get in my way."

Jiang Lianzhu quickly changed her face and started chasing people outside.

"Wait!"

Mr. Qian suddenly raised his voice, opened his mouth and said the purpose of his trip.

"I wanted to buy the pear ointment formula for [-] taels of silver before, but the price was indeed a bit low, so after thinking about it these days, I feel that [-] taels of silver is actually more appropriate."

Just, five taels of silver?

Jiang Lianzhu was originally very interested and wanted to hear an unusual amount from him.

Now when I heard it was only five taels of silver, I immediately lost interest.

Everyone knows that the market for her pear ointment is huge. This is such a small town, so the supply exceeds demand. If it were to be obtained in the county—

Oh, five taels? You can earn 500 taels!

"I think you're not sincere at all. It's just such a small amount of money. You're not really sending a beggar away, are you?"

Jiang Lianzhu didn't give him face, and choked immediately when he opened his mouth.

"If I can get 500 taels, then I can still barely consider it. If I just dig a little bit, forget it. I'm not short of you!"

After she finished speaking, she bypassed Master Qian and walked out directly.

Mr. Qian stood there, his eyes immediately becoming extremely dark.

A woman who doesn’t know how to praise!

Mr. Qian didn't take what Jiang Lianzhu said to heart. When he walked back to the village, he met several young wives. When they saw her, they immediately turned their heads aside, waited for her to leave, and then looked at them unscrupulously.

Jiang Lianzhu could feel that the eyes behind her were full of gossip, so she calmed down and turned around.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

"We, what are we looking at?" Wang's daughter-in-law said immediately, with a guilty conscience that could not be hidden in her eyes.

They had already heard about those rubbish things, and they were all very curious. But Jiang Lianzhu had such a vicious reputation, who dared to ask her directly?
