After giving Yan Yanrong a basin of water, Li Shaoliang ignored her. He waved to Chu Qingshuang, “Qingshuang, go wash your hands. I’ve bought something delicious for you.”

Intrigued by his mysterious demeanor, Chu Qingshuang became interested, “Alright.”

After washing her hands, Chu Qingshuang walked towards Li Shaoliang. She exclaimed, “Senior Brother, did you go and buy bread and biscuits?”

Li Shaoliang was about to nod, then suddenly realized something. He looked up at Chu Qingshuang, slightly puzzled, “You know bread and biscuits?”

“It’s made by my Fifth Sister.” Chu Qingshuang couldn’t help but laugh, “1 was planning to make some myself tonight and bring it for you and Master to try tomorrow. I didn’t expect you to buy it for me.”

Li Shaoliang was stunned.

It seemed that he was being too anxious. He should have waited for Qingshuang to make it for him.

“Qingshuang, will you still bring some for me and Dad tomorrow?” Li Shaoliang’s expression was somewhat pitiful, his eyes eagerly looking at her.

Chu Qingshuang smiled and nodded. “1’11 make something else for you tomorrow.”

Li Shaoliang was delighted. “Ok.”

Seeing that Li Shaoliang was ignoring her, Yan Yanrong was furious. She washed her smudged face and rushed over. “Chu Qingshuang, you hit me. How can you still have the face to eat Cousin’s food?”

Li Wenyu walked over and sat beside Chu Qingshuang. “You were the one who put the mud on your face. Sister Qingshuang didn’t even touch you.”

Yan Yanrong’s lie was exposed. Feeling guilty, she said sternly, “Li Wenyu, you’re a traitor too!”

Li Wenyu glanced at Yan Yanrong and calmly said, “1 just spoke the truth.”

Staring at Li Wenyu, Yan Yanrong wondered if Chu Qingshuang had bribed her. Why was she also siding with Chu Qingshuang?

Li Wenyu was Old Master Li’s precious great-granddaughter and was very doted on. She could be said to be the center of attention in the Li family.

Yan Yanrong had never seen her being so close to anyone, but Chu Qingshuang was an exception. Every time Chu Qingshuang came to the shop, she would stick to her like a little follower.

Li Shaoliang looked at Yan Yanrong, “If you have nothing to do, go to work and don’t disturb us eating.”

Yan Yanrong was indignant.

She looked at the bread and biscuits and licked her lips. “Cousin, 1 want to eat too.”

Li Shaoliang said straightforwardly, “If you want to eat, go buy it. 1 bought it for Qingshuang. 1 didn’t buy your portion.”

Yan Yanrong felt a tremendous blow in her heart. With a red face, she turned and walked away, and her resentment towards Chu Qingshuang deepened.

Her cousin had never cared for a girl like this before. Chu Qingshuang was just a country girl, why did her cousin treat her so well?

No, she had to drive her out of the Li Family’s porcelain shop, or her cousin would surely be taken away by Chu Qingshuang.

Chu Qingshuang watched Yan Yanrong’s dejected back, feeling that she deserved it. But was Senior Brother being too biased towards her? Wasn’t he afraid that she might have really hit Yan Yanrong?

Li Shaoliang turned around to comfort Chu Qingshuang, “Qingshuang, don’t mind Yan Yanrong. She’s just spoiled. I’ll talk to her later, and if she doesn’t change, 1’11 send her back and tell her not to come again.”

Chu Qingshuang was stunned.

Li Wenyu gently patted Chu Qingshuang’s hand with a childish expression. “Sister Qingshuang, I’ll protect you too.”

Chu Qingshuang patted Li Wenyu’s head and smiled. “Thank you, Wenyu.”

At the cow farm.

The owner back and forth at the entrance of the cow farm…

That girl said she would come to buy the milk again in a couple of days. Would she come today? If not, the milk would go bad.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of two sets of horse hooves approached.

The owner looked up to see a girl in light green and another in light purple, riding horses gracefully towards him.

The scene was even more beautiful than a painting!

Chu Qingshi and Wu Yaqing agilely dismounted. Their clothes fluttered, looking very elegant.

The owner quickly went up to her. “Miss Chu, you’re finally here.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled politely. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No, no.” The owner was also quite polite. Other than Chu Qingzhi, no one else wanted milk. If he offended the girl in front of him, he would lose a sum of income. “Miss, the milk is already squeezed.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to send someone to transport it for me.”

The owner said readily. “No problem, I’ve prepared everything. It’s just that there’s more milk this time, so…”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Don’t worry. 1 understand.”

As they spoke, they walked towards the shed where the milk was kept.

The milk was squeezed into barrels, which had lids to prevent dust, totaling twenty barrels, each weighing about 12.5 kilograms.

Chu Qingshi opened the lid and looked. Then she said, “Are you interested in long-term partnership?”

The owner couldn’t be happier. An excited expression immediately appeared on his face. “Of course, Miss.”

Chu Qingshi looked at the cow farm. The cows ate good food, and the milk quality was high. The butter made from it was also very fragrant.

“Deliver ten barrels of milk to my house everyday. I’ll pay you three taels of silver each time, with one condition only. The milk has to be fresh.”

The owner was pleasantly surprised. “Three taels?”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the owner. “Yes, three taels. What do you think?”

The owner was extremely excited and asked impatiently, “No problem at all. When do you want me to start delivering it?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Starting tomorrow.” She paused. “Shall we sign a contract?”

“Sure.” The owner agreed readily. Signing a contract would protect both parties’ interests and prevent disputes in the future. He had no reason to refuse.

At this moment, Wu Yaqing pulled Chu Qingzhi’s sleeve and pointed to the right. “Qingzhi, look, those cows are kneeling and crying.”

Chu Qingzhi looked over…

Two men each pulled the two cows towards the entrance of the cow farm. As they walked, the four cows knelt down together with tears in their eyes.

The owner explained, “I don’t know what happened, but these cows just keep eating and won’t gain weight. The vet says they are old. The old cows in the farm are usually taken to a designated place for slaughter…”

With the government’s permission, it was not an issue to slaughter cows that had lost their ability to work or died naturally. The only restriction was against private slaughter.

Wu Yaqing watched the cows kneeling on the ground and took pity on them. Tears couldn’t help but flow down, “Sell those cows to me.”

The owner was a conscientious person. He reminded her seriously, “Miss, those cows are already old and can’t plow the fields. It’s useless to buy them back.”

Wu Yaqing wiped her tears. “I’ll buy them and let them grow old and die peacefully.”

The owner didn’t know what to say.

So this is what it means to be rich and willful..
