Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan was going to stay in Shuoyang City to do some work. Old Lady Lin and Wang naturally would not let Cheng Wan stay in the city alone. Cheng Wan's two brothers, Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong, stayed behind to both accompany Cheng Wan and help him.

After Old Lady Lin and others set out to return to Pingnan Village, Cheng Wan, Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong followed and left Suiyi Building carrying their things.

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The city of Shuoyang is bustling with people coming and going. People shopping and groceries can be seen almost everywhere, and some of them are holding various "low-profile versions" of Suiyilou snacks in their hands.

Cheng Erping had a bag on his shoulders. He looked around with great interest and said excitedly, "Ah Wan, Sanxiong, Shuoyang City is really lively today. There are so many people!"

“Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, so of course the city will be bustling.

Second brother, third brother, you two can take advantage of today to have a good time strolling around and having fun. "

As soon as Cheng Wan finished speaking, Deng Xiong immediately shook his head, "Ah Wan, Grandma Lin and Godmother asked us to return to the village as soon as we finished our business, and we stayed here to help you, so how could we leave you alone to go out and play?"

"Your third brother is right. I have visited Shuoyang City countless times and there is nothing interesting here. Let's go and get down to business."

As they spoke, Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong strode forward arm in arm.

Cheng Wan smiled and shook his head, then trotted a few steps to catch up.

Some passers-by recognized Cheng Wan, but on a day like today, they just looked at Cheng Wan a few more times out of curiosity and then continued on their way.

"Awan, when did you order these iron armor pieces and the small wooden bottle? What are they for?

Also, what are those copper nails you just bought for?"

Cheng Erping glanced at the big bag of armor pieces in Deng Xiong's hand and was puzzled.

Cheng Wan led Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong to the clothing store she was familiar with and said casually, "These are all prepared for Big Brother."

"Brother?!"

Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong's eyes both lit up.

Cheng Erping took two quick steps and came in line with Cheng Wan, very excited, "Ah Wan, do you know when big brother will be back?"

"Will brother come back during the Chinese New Year?" Deng Xiong asked impatiently.

Cheng Wan's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "I don't know when Big Brother will come back, but I just thought that Big Brother will come back sooner or later, so I'll prepare the things for Big Brother first, so that when Big Brother comes back, I can give him a surprise."

"Hey, Mr. Cheng, I was just wondering when you would come over." Liu Yueqin, the owner of the clothing store, immediately came up to him with a smile on her face when she saw Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan has been to this garment shop several times. The leather that Cheng Wan brought back from Yingqiu County was given to this garment shop for tanning and processing into clothing.

Prior to this, Cheng Wan had already made an appointment with the female boss named Liu, and came here today to hire the embroiderer of this garment shop to do some private work.

"Sister Liu." Cheng Wan called out with a smile.

When Liu Yueqin heard Cheng Wan calling her sister, she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, and the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to her ears. "Oh, Master Cheng, I can't bear to be called your sister. Besides, I'm so old, I'm probably not much younger than your mother!"

"I didn't realize that, but Sister Liu doesn't look ordinary young and beautiful."

Cheng Wan had a sweet smile and an even sweeter mouth. With just a few words, Liu Yueqin couldn't stop smiling.

Liu Yueqin helped Cheng Wan carry a bundle, and led Cheng Wan, who was carrying other things, to the embroidery room in the backyard. As they walked, she said to Cheng Wan, "You told me before that you would need an embroiderer today, and I have always kept this in mind. So, I asked my most skilled embroiderer to wait in the back early, and I guarantee that she will not delay your work."

Being able to get along well with people and understand what they say is a way of taking credit from Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan kept smiling, and said a few words of thanks.

There was indeed some sincerity in Cheng Wan's words of thanks.

Cheng Wan and Liu Yueqin had met briefly several times. In Cheng Wan's opinion, Liu Yueqin was a shrewd, capable and principled businessman.

It's someone you can interact with.

Cheng Wan and Liu Yueqin went to the back while talking. The female customers in the shop seemed to be choosing clothes and shoes, but in fact, since Cheng Wan appeared, most of them had been paying attention to him.

After all, Cheng Wan is now more or less a "star".

A girl who looked about the same age as Cheng Wan stole a glance in the direction Cheng Wan left, pricked up her ears and listened carefully to what Cheng Wan and Liu Yueqin were saying, until she could no longer hear Cheng Wan's voice, then she withdrew her gaze.

"what!"

"Girl, I'm really sorry, I...I didn't mean it!

I thought this pair of shoes was really nice, so I wanted to pick them up and take a closer look. I…I didn’t expect you to suddenly reach out and take these shoes. I’m so sorry!”

Cheng Erping stood there at a loss, his face flushed red, and kept apologizing to the girl.

"What's wrong? What happened? Yu Niang?" A woman heard the noise here, stuffed the clothes in her hand to the maid standing next to her, and hurried over here.

Ru Yu Niang lowered her head. She felt as if the back of her right hand was burned by fire, which made her feel anxious and blushed.

"Second brother."

"Yu Niang."

Deng Xiong and the woman had the same worry on their faces and walked up to the two men one after the other.

"What's wrong, Yu Niang?" The woman looked at her daughter who was clenching her hands tightly and lowering her head without saying a word, and she raised her voice even louder in anxiety.

Before Cheng Erping could explain, an old lady dressed like a nouveau riche nearby spoke up first, "Hey! What's going on? This kid is a hooligan! Your daughter was taken advantage of by this kid!"

"What?!" The woman widened her eyes and rolled up her sleeves in anger, as if she was going to fight to the death.

Cheng Erping quickly shook his head and said anxiously, "I didn't! She's just talking nonsense!"

Ru Yu Niang no longer cared about being shy. She raised her red face and spoke in a low but clear voice, "Mother, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!"

Deng Xiong walked up to the old woman with a dark face, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"

"You!" The old lady was not convinced and wanted to say something, but she was really afraid of Deng Xiong's overly bully appearance and momentum. She moved her mouth and said fiercely: "Do you know who I am? If you dare to hit me, my grandson-in-law will not forgive you! And I am not talking nonsense. I saw this guy put his hand on the girl's hand with my own eyes, ah!"

Deng Xiong grabbed the old woman by the collar, his eyes wide open, and raised his other hand into a fist towards the old woman's head.

"Three bears!"

Cheng Erping didn't have time to think about anything else, and quickly pulled Deng Xiong behind him. He looked at the old woman in front of him with cold eyes, and said in an icy voice: "You are not the only one around here, everyone knows what is going on. Since you are not far from being buried, I will not bother with you this time, hurry up and leave!"

Cheng Erping didn't say anything like "Do you know who my sister is?" There was no need to alarm Cheng Wan about such a small matter, he could handle it.

"You! You dare to curse me! You know"

"Madam!" The maid brought by the old woman was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Others don't know what kind of family her family is, so how could she not know?

He had only been able to live a good life for a few days because his granddaughter was a concubine of a rich man. How could he have the money to offend others?

The maid mustered up her courage, leaned close to the old woman's ear, and quickly said, "Madam, have you forgotten who they followed? That Master Cheng is right behind them. I heard that Master Cheng is not easy to mess with! He has seen the prince! Madam, our master is magnanimous and will not bother with them. I think the clothes in this shop are not very good. Can I accompany you to other clothing shops to have a look?"
