"Lianlian, what's the problem with this???"
There weren't even any empty storefronts nearby, so it was good that they could find this place.
Although the decoration inside looks a bit shabby because no one has used it for a long time, it only takes a few days to hire workers to repair it and it will be ready for opening. There is no better place than here.
"Don't you think that Mrs. Zhang is weird???"
Qin Lian took her hand and said softly.
"What's weird?" Su Liuye looked over in surprise and saw Zhang Niang clearing away the dishes at the dining table.
Perhaps due to the hard work over the past few days, her back looked even thinner, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.
"Don't you think?" Qin Lian frowned, don't worry, "Didn't you tell me that her husband's family has been mean to her for many years since she was married? A few days ago, her man was beating her on the street, and when she got to the Yamen, she turned upside down Black and white, put all the blame on her. If the yamen master hadn't offended the little prince, he would have put her in jail now, and she hasn't reconciled yet!"
Qin Lian grew up in Qinghe Village. People in the village did not regard their daughter as a human being and only waited for her daughter to grow up and sell her to make some money.
She originally thought that her fate should be like that of other girls of the same age in the village, but Su Liuye's appearance saved her.
Now seeing Zhang Niang doing this, Qin Lian only felt confused.
"If she has really been abused by her husband's family all these years, why didn't she get divorced when she had such a good opportunity???" Qin Lian worried, "A Liu, we don't have any acquaintances in Luoxi Town this time, so we must be careful in everything. Don’t be fooled.”
"I know."
Su Liuye looked solemn.
Last time she kindly helped Wu Xiang, but in exchange the restaurant was slandered and poisoned, and her credibility in the hearts of the people was completely lost. She had no choice but to sell Yingxian Pavilion and come to Luoxi Town to start over.
Such a price was too heavy, and she didn't want to go through it a second time.
"Aliu, I just say these things because I don't want what happened before to happen again."
"Lianlian, that's all I know."
Su Liuye felt a little warm in her heart. She naturally knew that Qin Lian was worried about her, but Mrs. Zhang didn't want to talk more about family matters, so it was useless for her to say more.
Luoxi Town was still very lively at night. Mingyin had just finished eating and was looking outside the door with his little white dog, with rare excitement in his eyes.
Sisters Wu Yue and Wu Yun liked him very much. After putting away the dishes, they asked him to go out and have a look. They also said that they knew many interesting places in the town.
"Then I'll go with you."
Su Liuye was worried about letting the little prince go out with Wu Yun and the others, so he immediately offered to follow them.
"Then you go ahead, I still have some things to pack." Mrs. Zhang smiled.
Su Liuye glanced at her and felt that she was feeling tired, but Zhang was always smiling and seemed to be trying his best to hide it.
Su Liuye sighed and went out with several children, followed closely by two guards.
Probably because Mingyin didn't like it, they only dared to follow behind, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible.
"Come and take a look, there is a lantern festival here!!!"
As soon as they reached the street, Wu Yue pointed forward and shouted.
Looking in the direction she pointed, people were coming and going on the street in the distance. The streets on both sides were filled with lanterns, hanging above the heads of passers-by, reflecting a bright light.
There are many shapes of lanterns, which look lifelike and very cute. Many children gathered around and excitedly discussed which lantern was the most beautiful.
"Luoxi Town is really lively. Today is not a festival, but there are so many lanterns to see." Qin Lian looked at the lanterns above her head in amazement.
Many lanterns are hung together, dyeing the night sky with a bright color.
Such a grand scene has never happened before in Qinghe Town.
"Sister Lian, don't you know? This is a custom in the town. Whenever a cargo ship docks, the town will hold a lantern festival. There are also river lanterns there to pray for the cargo ships traveling." Wu Yue said.
When Su Liuye saw it, he realized that many people had gathered by the river, and the river lanterns were floating into the distance along the current. There are stalls on both sides of the river, full of fireworks.
Su Liuye suddenly felt that she made the right choice to come to Luoxi Town. It was much more prosperous than Qinghe Town. If she could become famous here, why would she worry about not making money?
Thinking of this, she became very motivated and took several children to taste all the nearby stalls. She found that Zhang's sugar water was the best.
Hearing Su Liuye say this, Wu Yue was very proud, "This is natural! I often hear my mother say that our grandpa's craftsmanship is the best in the town!"
"Yes, the aunt next door often told us that our grandfather bought Laifuxuan thanks to this craft." Speaking of this, Wu Yun also became talkative, "At that time, the neighbors nearby liked to drink at Laifuxuan. Sugar water, but..."
As she spoke, her eyes dimmed.
Laifuxuan is the name of Zhang's restaurant, but the plaque has long since faded without maintenance for many years, and now it's hard to read the words.
"But what?" Su Liuye was confused.
"Huh!" Wu Yue's face darkened, but she didn't want to say more.
Seeing the sisters' reactions, Su Liuye immediately thought of the Wu family. Mrs. Zhang had told her before that her parents had already betrothed her to the Wu family before the Zhang family fell into ruin. Later, although the Wu family married her in accordance with the engagement, it was only for the sake of what Zhang's father left for her. storefront.
Wu Ping wanted to use this store to please Master Zhang, but Zhang did not agree. After giving birth to two daughters, the Wu family stopped covering up and beat and scolded her, forcing Mrs. Zhang to take her daughter to the Live in a store that has long since closed down.
Over the years, coupled with Master Zhang's obstruction, he has not been able to reconcile with Wu Ping, and Wu Ping has become more and more arrogant.
But now that there is such an opportunity, Zhang seems to be reluctant.
Su Liuye sighed, it was hard to ask more about these things, and the two sisters probably didn't want to say more.
They played around in the street, Mingyin was so tired that he yawned, and Su Liuye simply hugged him back.
"What are you doing! Put me down quickly!" Mingyin was startled suddenly and struggled to get down.
Su Liuye had to use the strength of her family and said, "People on the street are starting to go back. If it's a little later, the lanterns will be extinguished. We have to go back quickly."
"Then I can go by myself!"
"You're walking too slowly."
Feeling that he was still struggling, Su Liuye said no more and took him away directly.
Wu Yun looked on amused and said softly, "Xiaoyin must be tired after walking all night tonight."
"Yeah, let Auntie hold you, and we'll go out to play tomorrow." Wu Yue agreed with a smile.
The child's face turned red after being talked about, and he muttered, "I'm not tired!"
