Chapter 45

The wages for hiring Chen Liu were calculated separately. In addition to the money for cleaning up the excrement as agreed before, Su Changan gave Chen Liu 1 tael of silver per month. This amount plus the money for cleaning up the excrement was more than enough for Chen Liu to support his family. In fact, Chen Liu Liu did appear very happy and respectful to Su Changan.

The last thing is to buy a pallet truck.

Su Changan had ignored this matter before, but now that he didn't have any extra money, he could only think about renting it.

Fortunately, it was not expensive to rent a cart. Su Changan left it to Chen Liu to negotiate. The rental fee was twenty yuan a day, and Su Changan rented it for half a month.

Her tofu shop was run in an orderly manner, and the rest was mechanical operation.

Nowadays, the weather is hot and the tofu cannot be left for a long time after being cooked. Not only is it easy to spoil in hot weather, but there is also a problem with flies and other insects.

Therefore, even if she has the order from the yamen, she will stop making tofu after Chenshi (after seven o'clock), and the next batch of tofu will not be made until Sishi (after nine o'clock).

Yindan and Tongdan took this time to go back and rest, while Chen Liu stayed here to clean up the yard. Su Changan also took this time to take a rest, but he didn't expect someone to come to her at this time.

Zhao Qingzhuo, still dressed in green clothes, walked in with a basket on his arm. He was stunned when he saw Chen Liu cleaning up the yard, and then he raised his voice and asked.

"Is there any tofu sold here?"

Su Changan was coming out of the kitchen at this time. When he saw Zhao Qingzhuo, an 'acquaintance', he subconsciously smiled and replied naturally.

"It's gone now. If you want tofu, you can come back soon."

Zhao Qingzhuo naturally turned his attention to Su Changan, and then smiled.

"I originally wanted to take care of your business, but I didn't expect that I came late."

Su Changan just smiled at this. She was a little tired now and wanted to go back to rest, so she didn't say anything more.

But he didn't expect Zhao Qingzhuo to suddenly say this at this time.

"I haven't apologized to you yet. My mother... I'm really sorry."

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing. I'll just be fine as long as my aunt is fine."

As a mother who was mentally disturbed because she lost her daughter, Su Changan had only pity for her since Cuigu had never harmed her.

Zhao Qingzhuo smiled at Su Changan, his face seemed hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he stopped talking after his eyes glanced at Chen Liu, who was still busy in the yard.

In the end, Zhao Qingzhuo didn't say anything more, bowed his hands to Su Changan and left.

Su Changan just thought he was here to buy tofu. After he left, she went back to rest.

Su Changan didn't take this incident seriously, and the tofu for lunch was successfully finished. When he was preparing to take a rest at the end of the afternoon, Su Changan once again received an uninvited guest in his courtyard.

In fact, Su Changan has been waiting for Li Da Niu to come again, but half of the day has passed and she has not come. Instead, she has been waiting for others to come to her place to cause trouble.

"Haha, is this the tofu seller? It's really shabby!"

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

Su Chang'an was still standing at the door of the kitchen, standing there looking at the door. After waiting for about five breaths, a young man appeared with a folding fan and an older boy beside him.

This young man's appearance is very similar to that of Zhao Qingzhuo, but his eyebrows do not have the forbearance and restraint of Zhao Qingzhuo, but instead have a sense of exaltation.

When Su Changan looked at the young man, the young man was also looking at the small courtyard. Finally, his eyes fell on Su Changan. His pretty eyebrows wrinkled, and he covered his mouth and nose with a fan, saying as if he was disgusted.

"Where did this ugly thing come from? It really stained my young master's eyes."

Ouch, whose naughty child is this? He needs an education, right?Su Changan stopped talking to him, patted the non-existent dust on his sleeves, and planned to go back to the house.

But she didn't expect that naughty kid to see her leaving and suddenly raised her voice.

"Hey! Ugly monster! Where are you going? Didn't you see this young master coming? Why don't you come and greet me? You are really an unruly country woman!"

meet?Welcome you big-headed ghost!

Su Changan didn't intend to pay attention to this person, but this person became more and more enthusiastic.

"You didn't hear what I said, didn't you? It doesn't matter that I'm ugly, but I'm actually deaf! I didn't expect that guy Zhao Qingzhuo to actually like someone like you. It's really embarrassing!"

Su Changan stopped, then turned around and looked directly at the young man.

The young man looked at her, raised his chin arrogantly, and even waved his fan to show off his coolness.

But he didn't expect Su Changan to break his defense with just one word.

"Why are we all human beings, but you have a bad mouth? Whose turd balls come out and disgust people? Your presence not only makes my eyes hurt, but my ears also seem to be polluted. I haven't grown up yet I have seen you being such a rude person, who are your parents? They don’t teach you well, but you dare to let it out, and you are not afraid of being picked up by tuberose collectors when you walk on the street? "

Today, Su Changan has been on guard against Li Da Niu's coming again, so her mood has been tense, which makes her more aggressive now.

Zhao Qinglang had never been verbally insulted like this when he was so old. His expression dropped and he spoke fiercely.

"You're ugly, but you're very sharp-tongued."

Su Changan smiled at him and spoke naturally.

"Thank you for the compliment. I also think I'm pretty good at talking. It's not like you. It seems like there's something wrong with the speech system. All my words are garbled."

Zhao Qinglang actually didn't understand what Su Changan said, but he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

He laughed angrily, sneered three times and introduced himself.

"I am Zhao Qinglang, the second son of the Zhao family."

Su Changan nodded and made a simple comment.

"My mistress's son."

Zhao Qinglang understood this sentence, and it was precisely because he understood it that he became angry.

"My mother is my father's equal wife!" Here, family background is very important. Su Changan's words obviously touched something that Zhao Qinglang couldn't say.

Compared with his anger, Su Changan seemed very calm.

"Where's the evidence? Evidence that your mother and your father were married?"

Men here can take concubines, but they are only allowed to have one legal wife, and the court does not recognize the idea of ​​a common wife.

So even in the Zhao family, Zhao Qinglang and his mother firmly dominated Cui Gu and Zhao Qingzhuo, and Zhao Qinglang's mother was also called Madam at home.

But a concubine is a concubine, and as a concubine in other places, even if Zhao Qinglang is favored by his father, he is still a concubine and a concubine in terms of etiquette.

This fact cannot be explained in front of Zhao Qinglang. Now Su Changan repeatedly pokes at this point, and Zhao Qinglang is about to explode.

Zhao Qinglang's current expression was really terrifying. Only then did Su Changan realize the danger, and subconsciously took a step back. It was this step that made Zhao Qinglang feel Su Changan's 'weakness' and stimulated him. He rushed up like a wild beast.
