Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Cai Quanwu walked straight to the counter and whispered to Xu Huizhen, "Boss, they're all sold." As he was about to take out the money, Xu Huizhen gave him a look and the two went to the backyard.

Cai Quanwu gave the money he received to Xu Huizhen and told her the whole story of the sale, even taking out the Daqianmen that the shopkeeper had given him to show her.

Xu Huizhen sighed in her heart, Cai Quanwu is really a down-to-earth person, it's right to use him, it's a relief. When she heard that Hongxinglou needed more goods, she said to Cai Quanwu: "Go to the cellar to get whatever you want. I still have 15 kilograms of vegetables here, I'll go to the house to get it for you."

Xu Huizhen went into the space and picked another batch of vegetables. She found that the vegetables in the space grew very fast. Maybe it was because the space was as bright as day for 24 hours a day, and the light time was long? She grew up in the countryside and was familiar with the growth rate of vegetables. Maybe the space could accelerate the growth of plants.

After leaving the house, she handed the vegetables to Cai Quanwu, this time five catties of eggplant, five catties of celery, and five catties of leeks. She said to Cai Quanwu, "That's all for today. The next batch will come in two days." Cai Quanwu responded and continued to work.

Xu Huizhen explained everything clearly and returned to the tavern.

As soon as she walked to the counter, she heard a woman's voice: "Manager Xu, business is booming!" There was a woman's charm in the voice. Xu Huizhen looked up and saw that the person coming was Chen Xueru, the owner of the silk shop.

She was tall, with an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, big eyes, and a small nose. Her thin lips were painted with just the right amount of lipstick. There was nothing wrong with her appearance. In one word: beautiful!

She was wearing a dark red cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. Her wavy hair fell over her shoulders, and she swayed her hips as she walked towards the counter.

Watching Chen Xueru's graceful steps, Xu Huizhen thought of a line from a song: I am the queen, shining with confidence. This line is perfect for Chen Xueru.

She is arrogant, confident and outspoken, like a queen. The two young women under Zhengyang Sect are both very beautiful. In comparison, Xu Huizhen is more reserved and introverted. She treats people gently and politely, and knows when to advance and retreat. Of course, both of them are smart women.

Xu Huizhen hurriedly greeted, "Boss Xueru, long time no see! How about two taels?"

Chen Xueru: "Give me two taels, and a plate of tripe."

Xu Huizhen: "We have added a new dish today. Would you like to try a plate of dried shrimps?"

Chen Xueru: "Really? Huizhen really knows how to do business. I'll listen to you and have a plate of dried shrimps." After saying that, she took her own wine and food and found a seat to sit down.

There were quite a few people in the tavern today. Several representative characters in the original plot, Xu Hesheng, Fan Jinyou, and Qiangzi, were all present. Everyone drank wine and chatted about gossip and the latest news. Xu Huizhen looked at the scene coldly and felt that this job was really good, making money and having fun at the same time.

Time passed slowly as people toasted each other and talked and laughed.

After closing, Cai Quanwu came to clean up, and Xu Huizhen just sat back and did nothing. There is a saying that goes, it is better to let the money suffer than to let the people suffer.

Then he thought that Cai Quanwu had been running around today and was very tired, so he said to him, "You have run to Hongxing Building twice today and you are exhausted. Go back and rest early. It won't be too late to clean up tomorrow morning."

Cai Quanwu said: "Don't worry about it, leave it to me. I'm not tired. Carrying heavy bags is much more tiring than this."

Cai Quanwu was in a good mood today. He made money very smoothly today. This operation seemed to have opened a window in his heart. It turned out that money could be made this way.

He used to work hard, pedal a tricycle, carry heavy bags, and work himself to death but still couldn't earn much money, barely enough to make ends meet. He couldn't even marry a wife. At this moment, his admiration for Xu Huizhen was like a surging river, endless. It was also like the Yellow River flooding, out of control. In a word, he would follow the shopkeeper from now on. If the shopkeeper said to go east, he would never go west.

Xu Huizhen didn't feel too tired, this body was in good condition. She traveled from a sickly woman in her fifties to a young person in her twenties, and she was not used to this healthy body for a while. It could also be that people of this era were very hardworking.

She remembered that her mother in her previous life was a hardworking and tireless working woman. She was restless from the moment she opened her eyes every day, like a perpetual motion machine that never stopped. She went to work in the production team during the day, cooked for the family after returning home, and had to take care of the four children's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. At night, she lit an oil lamp and did needlework under the dim light. Winter cotton-padded clothes and quilts had to be sewn by hand. The amount of labor was really not something that ordinary people could bear.

My mother never needs to trim her nails because they never grow long. She does so much work every day, and her nails are worn out. Every winter, deep and long cracks appear on her hands, which have no chance to heal. In serious cases, they bleed.

Thinking of this, Xu Huizhen felt a pang of heartache, and she became more determined to go back to her hometown next spring to find her parents from her previous life and do her best to help them change their fate.

At night, lying on the bed, Xu Huizhen stretched her limbs comfortably, thinking about what to do next.

Today she met Teacher Xu in the tavern. In the original plot, she and Teacher Xu had a mutual affection and almost got together, but later Xu Huizhen found that he was not broad-minded enough, so she went back on her word and decisively rejected the marriage.

This straightforward approach hurt Teacher Xu. In the subsequent major movement, Teacher Xu and Fan Jinyou jointly reported Xu Huizhen for speculation and profiteering. In the end, Xu Huizhen's position as neighborhood committee director was also removed from her post, and she almost went to jail.

There is a gray area between black and white, and there is a critical point between good and bad. People like Fan Jinyou are definitely bad guys. But Xu Hesheng is a flawed person, not a bad person.

Now that she knew the plot, she had to avoid these traps. The big movement was no joke. If she wasn't careful, she could lose her life. So Xu Hui really wanted to make as few enemies as possible, and not make any enemies, and keep out of the way of these two people. But she had a beautiful face, so how could she stop them from coveting her beauty?

The easiest way is to find a man and marry him as soon as possible, but a lifelong event cannot be achieved overnight. You are a flesh-and-blood person, and you have to have some pursuits in your emotional life.

Another way is to find a powerful umbrella to protect them, but this is difficult at present and requires opportunities and time to operate. The last way is to improve your own social status so that they feel inferior, unable to reach you, and stay away from you.
