Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Then you three come and listen to me."

Jiang Lianzhu was not in a hurry to refute or criticize, but smiled as she watched the Three Treasures put down their coquettish postures and aired out her concerns.

"We have to stay in the school for a month, and after one month we only have three days of rest, we will be sent back again." Liao Xiaoan said gloomily.

He kept holding his robe with his hands, looked into Jiang Lianzhu's smiling eyes, and lowered his head a little.

To be honest, this excuse is a bit childish. They are already so old and should be sensible and should not worry about leaving home.

However, he just couldn't get the trouble out of his mind!

Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Liao Xiaole and Liao Xiaoping again. Although their reactions were much calmer than Liao Xiaoan's, there was still a hint of displeasure.

She just shook her head and divided a piece of candy on the table into everyone's hands.

"If you have made up your mind to study away from home, then this month's separation is not too long. Besides, you can't always stay with me in the future."

"what?"

"Have you ever seen any family in the village that has not separated their families when their children have reached their age?"

Jiang Lianzhu smiled calmly and then asked again.

This sentence stumped all the Three Treasures.

They didn't know much about other people in the village, except the Liu family.

Aunt Liu and Liu Lide lived in the south of the village, while Aunt Liu's husband's family lived in the north of the village, and rarely moved around there on weekdays.

"But……"

"Now your age naturally cannot be compared with others, but today in the academy you also saw that many people of similar age to you also entered the academy in this way, which shows that this matter is not It’s impossible.”

Jiang Lianzhu continued to talk. She could clearly see that the look on Liao Xiaoping's face had relaxed.

It was obvious that he had been moved by his words.

However, Liao Xiaoan and Liao Xiaole lowered their heads and said nothing, as if it was extremely difficult for them to accept this matter.

"Don't worry too much about the academy matters for the time being. I'll give the three of you two days to think about it carefully. If you really don't want to, then I won't force you."

After Jiang Lianzhu finished speaking, she stood up, made the candlelight of the candlestick placed on the table slightly smaller, and asked the three treasures to enter the room carrying the candlestick.

The next day, Jiang Lianzhu left before dawn.

She went straight to Luoshui Town next door, and Xiao Shi also arrived at the entrance of the town on time at the time agreed with her in advance.

"Miss Jiang is indeed a punctual person. She arrived half an hour early."

Xiao Shi couldn't hide the surprise in his tone. He saw Jiang Lianzhu carrying a basket on her back and took the basket from her.

A young boy standing next to Xiao Shi had good eyesight. Seeing that Jiang Lianzhu seemed to be taking the basket back, he immediately snatched it from Xiao Shi's hand: "This thing is heavy to carry on your back. Miss Jiang, we fell into the water." The noble man of the town cannot trouble you for this kind of thing!"

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said nothing more.

The three of them entered Luoshui Town all the way, and Xiao Shi took him to select some vacant shops along the street.

Jiang Lianzhu chose a small one with a good location, signed the land deed with Xiao Shi, and asked the boy to take out all the things in the basket and put them on the shelves of the shop.

The boy was very fast in doing things, and he only had to finish them in a blink of an eye.

They made little noise here, but they still attracted many people from the town to stop.

A group of people didn't recognize Jiang Lianzhu, but they recognized the pear paste in the shop.

"Isn't this... the treasure that saved my family last time? The official said a few days ago that he would sell more to us, but now we can see that this shop has opened in our town!"

"Yeah, I remembered that there seems to be no place to buy it now. I didn't expect that the people in our town would be the first to enjoy it."

"You guys, please keep your voices down. Didn't you see that the official is talking to a girl inside? These things have already come to our town, and they can't escape even if they want to."

The surrounding villagers gathered five feet away from the shop and talked about it.

Although the voices of several people were not loud, the discussion was very intense. Jiang Lianzhu could hear some fragments of words from their mouths and couldn't help but laugh.

"These people in our town just like to talk straight to the point. Don't get weirded out by the girl."

"It doesn't matter, it's just that Luoshui Town is far away from the village where I live. I have to trouble the official to find me a bookkeeper and a good man who can run the shop."

Jiang Lianzhu laughed a few times and then covered up the matter. She whispered to Xiao Shi.

She didn't know many people in the town. If she asked people from the village to come here, it would be inconvenient to go back and forth. It would be better to leave this errand directly to Xiao Shi.

Although the time the two of them got together was short, she probably knew what kind of person Xiao Shi was, and she would never become a desperate person just because the business in the shop was good or the profits were high.

"Okay, okay! This is something I didn't consider before. I'm going to help the girl get some manpower now!"

Xiao Shi was about to leave as he spoke. Jiang Lianzhu didn't say anything more, and said goodbye after giving him a few more instructions.

Jiang Lianzhu left Luoshui Town and returned to the original town.

The charges regarding Wang Liu's verdict have been posted on the edge of the market. They are clearly listed one by one in black and white. Some people in official uniforms are patrolling nearby. They must be afraid that someone will be careless and take them. Take this notice off.

Jiang Lianzhu originally came up to watch the excitement. When he was almost done waiting, he turned around to leave when he heard movement behind him.

"Miss Jiang, our officials are in love."

As soon as she turned around, she faced Manager Li whom she had seen in the government office before.

I don’t know what has happened to me these days. My whole body is obviously much older, and even my speech doesn’t have the same air as before.

"I don't know what Mr. Qin wants to do with me. If it's for the previous business, then I don't think there's any need to go this time."

Jiang Lianzhu's words were thoughtful and mixed with some sarcasm. She took a few steps back as she spoke, keeping a certain distance from Manager Li.

She didn't want to deal with anyone related to Qin Baoguo at all. Fortunately, they couldn't be arrogant for long now.
