“I’m already quite old, and I’m ranked seventh in the family. Everyone calls me Aunt Qi. Your family is poor, so it’s not easy to find a wife.”

Wang Qi didn’t say anything.

“Hurry up and help Miss Su unload the goods,” Liu Yuan reminded him. “Okay!” Wang Qi nodded.

In a short while, everything from the two donkey carts was already tied up and brought into the storage room.

At this time, Su Qingyue went to the kitchen and poured two bowls of water, handing one to each waiter, “Thank you for your hard work, delivering the goods such a long way in this hot weather.”

“It’s our job, and the Shopkeeper pays our wages.” Both of them took the bowls of water, and having been thirsty for a while, they gulped down the water quickly. Both of them felt more favorable towards Su Qingyue. Many customers they delivered goods to were picky about the quality and never provided water to the waiters.

When delivering goods to the countryside, they would usually bring their own water pots or just drink a few mouthfuls from the river.

Liu Yuan took a big cloth bundle from the donkey cart and handed it to Su

Qingyue, “Miss Su, this is the five bedsheets and five quilt covers you bought at Lady Li’s cloth shop. She also gave you four pillowcases. She asked us to bring them along.”

Su Qingyue took the big cloth bundle and went into the secondary bedroom. After opening the bundle, she saw that it was indeed the cloth she had chosen at the cloth shop. She handed the large cloth bundle wrapped around the bedsheets and quilt covers back to Liu Yuan, “I’ll take the goods, but this piece of cloth is too big. Can you please return it to Lady Li for me?”

“Lady Li said that the quality of this cloth material isn’t good, so you don’t need to return it.” As soon as Liu Yuan said that, Qian Zhang’s wife snatched the cloth bundle from him, “Since it’s a gift, I think the quality is not that bad. Just give it to me.”

Without waiting for Su Qingyue’s agreement, she folded the cloth bundle and stuffed it into her own arms, “I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.” Fearing that Su Qingyue would take it back, Qian Zhang’s wife ran away.

“How could Qian Zhang’s wife be like this? She didn’t even agree to give it to her!” Wang Cuihua couldn’t stand it at the side, and Wang Qigu looked at the cloth bundle that was taken, “That piece of cloth could make two pillowcases…

How could she just snatch it away…”

“Nevermind.” Su Qingyue was helpless.

She took out ten cents from her sleeve pocket and gave five cents to Liu Yuan and Wang Qi, “Here, both of you…”

“No need, no need…” Both of them waved their hands at the same time.

“Just a small token of appreciation. Use it to buy a couple of bowls of water when you take a break on the road.” Su Qingyue insisted on giving it to them. They were both very grateful and left separately with the empty donkey carts.

“Oh, selling the fried fern recipe made some money, and the wife of the Xiao Family is so generous.” Wang Qigu sarcastically commented.

Wang Cuihua said, “Both waiters delivered the goods from so far away and also helped to bring other items purchased from another store. Giving five cents each for water is the least we could do.”

“I didn’t say it’s not appropriate. If we didn’t give it, it wouldn’t matter much either.”

‘Qingyue knows how to get along with people.” Wang Cuihua glanced at Wang

Qigu, “Not like you, who are stingy and materialistic. Once they heard that

Wang Qi’s family was poor, they stopped asking.”

“Should I marry my daughter to Wang Qi just so she can suffer? Ridiculous!” Wang Qigu looked down on others with a disdainful expression.

Su Qingyue said, “Aunt Qi, you’ve misjudged this time. Didn’t you hear Liu Yuan, the waiter, say that Wang Qi is a new employee?”

“So what?”

“Liu Yuan’s hands are full of calluses, indicating that he’s used to doing hard work. Wang Qi’s hands are even whiter than mine, and he doesn’t have so much as half a callus, indicating that he doesn’t do hard work in his daily life..”
