She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 31 Qin Yiran is even more puzzling than he is in the book

In order to avoid a cold war between the two in the future, she decided to get along well with Qiu Shuixian.

"We haven't decided on our sizes yet. I'll go talk to the shopkeeper." Liu Yingyue nodded at Qin Yiran.

But just as she took a step, Qin Yiran grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"No need! Madam Qiu has a keen eye and can tell the size at a glance."

Liu Yingyue asked in surprise, "She has this ability?"

"When the time comes, you'll know when you see the finished products." Qin Yiran walked out with a cane.

Liu Yingyue chased after him and said distressedly, "What if it gets damaged... that's five taels of silver worth of fabric! And... this is a wedding dress, not some other kind of clothing."

When he reached the door of the shop, Qin Yiran suddenly turned around and asked Liu Yingyue coldly, "You don't trust Madam Qiu! Liu Yingyue."

"No, I mean..."

"What if I insist on believing her, Liu Yingyue? What will you do?"

Qin Yiran had asked the original owner the same question.

The original owner turned hostile on the spot.

But now she is not the original owner.

She doesn't care what kind of tacit understanding Qiu Shuixian and Qin Yiran have.

She only cared about whether Qin Yiran was angry and whether she would be beaten to death by Qin Yiran.

"She is an old tailor. I guess what you said is right. Otherwise, her shop wouldn't be so big." Liu Yingyue pointed to the Qiu's Garment Store, which was twice as big as other shops.

Today is not a big market, so the streets are not crowded with people, only a few people walking here and there.

But people came in and out of Colchicum's shop from time to time.

A clerk and a woman who was the manager in the shop were busy greeting customers.

Qiu Shuixian has excellent sewing skills, and many people from all over the country come here to make sewing clothes.

If Qiu Shuixian's parents-in-law hadn't disliked life in the county town, Qiu Shuixian's shop would have moved to the county town long ago.

Qiu Shuixian's fiancé died early, and before he died, he entrusted his parents and the clothing shop to her.

She remembered the kindness of her fiancé, and always served her parents-in-law and managed the garment shop carefully.

Qin Yiran was surprised by Liu Yingyue's frankness.

"Let's go and see Xiuzhu. I wonder if she has sold many of her cakes." Liu Yingyue said while supporting Qin Yiran.

Qin Yiran looked at her face.

There was no sign of temper in Liu Yingyue's expression.

Instead, she happily hugged the box containing the jewelry.

"Okay." Qin Yiran said, looking at her eyebrows.

The two of them rode in a donkey cart and returned to the place where Qin Xiuzhu sold cakes.

Qin Xiuzhu sat on a stone on the street, holding a backpack, looking at the passers-by with frustration.

Liu Yingyue walked over and asked, "Xiuzhu, how many cakes have you sold?"

Qin Xiuzhu saw her coming back and complained, "This place is not good at all. Not many people come to buy cakes."

"Then did you shout? Greeting customers like those stall owners did?" Liu Yingyue said, pointing at a few small vendors selling daily necessities beside Qin Xiuzhu.

"Of course there are. Some people came to buy the straw hats with baskets on their backs. I also pulled them aside to ask, but not many people bought them."

"Not many, how many did you sell?" Liu Yingyue opened the cake covered with white gauze, "This... didn't sell many, right?"

"Sold six." Qin Xiuzhu sighed.

"Six?" Liu Yingyue's eyes widened. "We've been gone for more than half an hour, and you only sold six?"

"I don't care, Liu Yingyue, you said it, if they can't be sold, you can buy them all." Qin Xiuzhu pushed the backpack towards Liu Yingyue.

"Yingyue!" Qin Yiran's face darkened. "If you can't do things yourself, how can you ask others for help? You can't ask Yingyue to buy them, you have to sell them all yourself!" Qin Xiuzhu was stunned by Qin Yiran's yelling, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She cried, "Brother, you are bullying me! She asked me to make this cake, and I said I didn't want to, but she insisted that I make it. Now that it can't be sold, you blame me! She hasn't even married yet, and you're helping her! After she marries, won't you team up to bully me?"

"Don't cry!"

"I'm about to cry. You guys are ganging up on me. I'm going home to tell mom! Wuuuuuu——"

Qin Yiran frowned in embarrassment and looked to Liu Yingyue for help.

It's rare for him to ask for help.

Seeing that he was angry, anxious and at a loss, Liu Yingyue did not laugh, but was confused.

He would scold her for Chen Baian and stop her to protect Qiu Shuixian, but now he doesn't help his own sister Qin Xiuzhu?
Qin Yiran is even more unfathomable than he is in the book.

"There are people watching you on the street, and you are still crying. Hey, that boy is so handsome and has been looking at you, Xiuzhu." Liu Yingyue pulled Qin Xiuzhu's sleeve.

Qin Xiuzhu was so scared that she stopped crying immediately.

She quietly raised her head from her arms, and saw a handsome young man walking past her.

He even waved towards her.

Qin Xiuzhu was so embarrassed that she lowered her head again.

"Qin Dalang, my lady, you are here."

"Chen Baian, are you shopping?" Liu Yingyue also waved back.

"Our boss asked me to buy a pair of chopsticks." Chen Baian waved his hand and walked away.

"People are leaving, look up." Liu Yingyue pulled Qin Xiuzhu's sleeve again.

Only then did Qin Xiuzhu dare to raise her head.

The boy had already walked far away, but every few steps he would look back here.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a woman cry?" Qin Xiuzhu muttered.

"Stop crying and think about what you did wrong!" Qin Yiran scolded again.

"I, wuwuwu..." Qin Xiuzhu started to cry again.

Liu Yingyue pressed Qin Yiran, "Don't talk about her. Most of the things are just a basket of cakes. Just look at how I sell them!"

She took out a handkerchief and wiped away Qin Xiuzhu's tears. "Come, let's sell it together and find out why it can't be sold."

There are hardly any people coming to the place Qin Xiuzhu chose. Besides, Qin Xiuzhu is very rigid in doing business, so it would be strange if there is any business.

Qin Xiuzhu will never learn if she just keeps blaming others or doing things for them.

Guide her through it and tell her where she went wrong, so she can learn her lesson.

With the confidence of Liu Yingyue's help, and Qin Yiran glaring at her rudely, Qin Xiuzhu had to cheer up.

After waiting for a while, a woman holding a child came over. Just as she was about to walk over, Liu Yingyue pushed Qin Xiuzhu and said, "Hurry up and call that child."

"How old is the child? Maybe five or six years old. Does he have the money to buy one?" Qin Xiuzhu shook her head.

"He has no money, but the adults around him do. Look at their clothes. They are half-new without any patches. The woman is wearing a pair of thick silver bracelets. It's obvious that her family is not too poor. If you can coax the child into giving, the woman will buy the gift out of pity for the child."

Qin Xiuzhu blinked, "Is it true?"

"If she doesn't buy it, I'll buy one for you to eat." Liu Yingyue raised her eyebrows.

Qin Xiuzhu snorted coldly, "You said it, I'll call them over right now!"

So, Qin Xiuzhu shouted to the child, "Xiaobao, come here, there are biscuits for sale here, they are filled with mung bean fillings, they are delicious."

Liu Yingyue directly took one, broke it in half, and started eating it in small bites, starting a live eating show.

The child's eyes suddenly widened and he stopped and refused to move.
