The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 241 Flawless

Song Ruize followed Qin Huiyin into the store.

"I sent someone to look for that Mr. Xia."

Qin Huiyin was surprised: "You haven't come here these days just to deal with this matter?"

"Not entirely. I just gave the order and asked my subordinates to find it. I'm back at the dam to resume work. There are many things to deal with."

"No news? I heard the government put up a reward notice, but still no one has caught him."

"This Mr. Xia has multiple identities. He is very cautious and changes his identity every time he arrives at a place. So our people still let him escape."

"Brother, your people are really amazing. The government can't even find his shadow, and your people can still chase him." Qin Huiyin said, "Let's not worry about this matter. The government can't do anything, so we have no way either. If the Xia family wants to find him, there will always be a chance. There is no need to rush."

"it is good."

"What do you want to eat today?"

"Just eat a bite." Song Ruize said, "You are so busy, don't worry about these trivial matters."

Tang Yichen came over and said to Qin Huiyin, "The county magistrate's son, whom Shaoyao served, has arrived and has been assigned to the Peony Pavilion upstairs."

"I'll go and take a look later." Qin Huiyin said.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Deng Shaoyao and Qingying came over and said to Qin Huiyin, "Cousin, you gave me sweet and sour pork last time. Our young master met me, tasted it, and has been thinking about it ever since. Are you free today? If you are, I'd like to trouble you to make me another portion."

"So many people can't see her, and you still ask her if she's busy?" Song Ruize said coldly, "She's the boss here, not the chef. If you want to order, go to the kitchen and find the chef."

Deng Shaoyao's face turned pale and she said weakly, "Our young master has a bit of a stubborn temper."

"If he has a stubborn temper, then ask his parents to discipline him. Why ask your cousin? Does she owe you anything?" Song Ruize said coldly, "Or do you think you are of high status and can tell her what to do?"

Deng Shaoyao waved her hand: "No, I didn't mean that."

Qingying said softly, "Sir Song, Shaoyao speaks frankly and means no harm. Our young master is still young, so it's inevitable that he's a little spoiled. But it doesn't matter, children can be coaxed and he will be fine. I'll go up to tell him later that we're trying something different today, and we'll have the chance to eat the food he's been thinking about again next time."

Tang Yichen said: "This is Chuan Chuan Xiang, and we sell Chuan Chuan Xiang. If you want to eat other food, you can go to Qingyue Restaurant."

Qin Huiyin saw that Song Ruize and Tang Yichen were making the two girls feel at a loss as to what to do with each other, and the situation was a bit awkward. She tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'll teach this recipe to the chef of Qingyue Restaurant later. You can bring the county magistrate's son to Qingyue Restaurant for dinner next time. There are a lot of guests, so I have to go and get busy. You guys can do whatever you want."

Deng Shaoyao caught up with Qin Huiyin and explained from behind: "Cousin, I really didn't mean anything else, don't be angry."

"I'm not that stingy." Qin Huiyin paused. "You want to serve the county magistrate well because he's your talisman, and that's fine. But you could have handled this better, like the girl next to you, guiding him to make a more rational decision. That way, you wouldn't bother anyone else and you'd still be able to please him."

Qin Huiyin patted Deng Shaoyao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's not a big deal. It's not worth your anxiety. I have to deal with a lot of things every day. If I get scared at the slightest disturbance, my store would have been closed down long ago. Don't blame my two brothers for their harsh words. They just feel sorry for me and don't want me to be too tired."

Deng Shaoyao felt even more ashamed.

My cousin works so hard, but she brings her own troubles to her and adds to her troubles.

Qingying said to Song Ruize, "Sir Song, my name is Qingying. When you went to the county government office earlier, you took down the kite from the tree. It was my kite. Do you remember?"

Song Ruize said calmly: "I don't remember."

Tang Yichen's lips curled up: "It turns out that Mr. Song is such a warm-hearted person. If I knew, I would probably be very happy. After all, you finally have some popularity."

"Jealous?" Song Ruize said calmly, "Yinyin and I can talk about anything, and we have even more secrets. You must be feeling jealous, right?"

Tang Yichen: “…”

Mrs. Xia was a woman of decisive action. She had just proposed the idea to Qin Huiyin that morning, and before Qin Huiyin had time to mention it to Li Taohua, the Xia family's carriage arrived at the entrance of Chuan Chuan Xiang during her free afternoon.

Seeing Madam Xia, Li Taohua assumed she was there to check the accounts. After all, her daughter owned half of the estate. Now that the Xia family was in dire straits, they were desperate for cash, so it was only natural for them to want to keep a hold of the Chuan Chuan Xiang income. She continued to work on her own business as usual, leaving Tang Luwu in charge of the accounts, so she didn't interfere.

However, Madam Xia came here for her today.

"You are Huiyin's mother, right?" Madam Xia bowed. "My last name is Xia, and I am Ruwan's mother."

Li Taohua stopped eating the cake, blinked her peach blossom eyes, put down the half cake in her hand, and wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Mrs. Xia is a household name. However, I am not responsible for the account books. You can ask our eldest maid to check the accounts." Li Taohua pointed at Tang Luwu in front of the counter.

"I won't check the accounts. This is the children's business, I won't interfere." Madam Xia sat in front of Li Taohua, "I want to talk to you about Huiyin."

When Li Taohua heard that it was related to Qin Huiyin, she immediately perked up, as if she was wearing armor, and her whole aura changed.

Mrs. Xia's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, such a smart little girl must have an even smarter mother to teach her.

"I want to adopt Huiyin as my adopted daughter."

Li Taohua had already prepared for the other party to try to steal Qin Huiyin's business, but...

For her?

"You may not understand the relationship between our families," Li Taohua said. "I was a widow who remarried twice."

"My sister dares to love and hate, and can take it or leave it. She is truly a role model for women..."

Li Taohua: "..."

In order to snatch her daughter away, he would say anything that goes against his conscience.

"I only have this one daughter..."

"If you like our Wan'er, I will give her to you as your adopted daughter. That way, you will have three daughters and two sons, born to you, adopted by you, and raised by you. Your blessings are yet to come! I have adopted Huiyin as my adopted daughter, and I will definitely treat her as my own flesh and blood. I will also prepare a dowry for her in the future."

Li Taohua: "...What are you trying to achieve?"

"I really like this girl."

"Of course, my daughter is definitely a great one," Li Taohua agreed. "This is a big deal, and we as a family need to discuss it before making a decision."
