Seeing that she didn’t believe her, the woman started to argue. “That’s not necessarily true. Have you forgotten the livelihoods Su Li made previously? I heard that the things she made were all sold to the Exquisite Pavilion. That thing definitely isn’t cheap!”
Someone at the side said in surprise, “What? She sold all her things to the Exquisite Pavilion?”
It had to be known that the things in the Exquisite Pavilion were not cheap. They usually did not dare to enter. When they passed by the entrance of that shop, they quickened their pace, afraid that if they were a step slower, they would appear especially poor.
The woman raised her chin and said, “That’s right! My nephew works in the Exquisite Pavilion. He saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears.
How can it be fake?”
“Oh my god! I didn’t expect Su Li to have that ability. No wonder she often went to town previously. So she has business to do!”
A woman said in an envious tone, “The village chief’s wife is helping her work. She’s paid 80 copper coins a day! Where can you find such a good job?”
“What? 80 copper coins?!”
The people at the side could not remain calm. They could not even get 80 copper coins a day if they went to town to work and others could easily get 80 copper coins a day at home? Wasn’t this nonsense?
“Don’t doubt me. I heard the village chief’s wife say it herself. I was chatting with her that day, but who knew that she would accidentally share it!”
That time, she chatted with the village chief’s wife for a while. As they chatted, they talked about working for Su Li. She said that the village chief’s wife was silly and went to do those thankless things.
Unexpectedly, the village chief’s wife said, “You’re the fools. I earn 80 copper coins a day!”
Although the village chief’s wife refused to admit that she was joking, her woman’s intuition told her that this must be true!
When some people heard this, they began to have ideas. They said, “Since she wants the village chief’s wife to help her work, can we go too? I don’t need 80 copper coins a day. I’ll work if she gives me 50 copper coins!
Some people knew Su Li’s bad temper. Although they had thoughts in their hearts, they did not dare to take action, so they praised Su Li.
“Look at her physiognomy. From the first time I saw her, I felt that she was a lucky person. He Yufeng must have accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune to be able to marry her.”
When Su Li heard this, the corners of her lips could not help but twitch. It was as if they were not the ones who had said that she was lazy, stupid, and fat in the past. They said that whoever married her would be unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Someone noticed Su Ze and pointed at him. “Is that her younger brother? He’s quite handsome. I wonder if he’s married. If not, I can introduce him to my relative’s daughter.”
Actually, it was her own daughter. Her own daughter had yet to settle down. This was a good opportunity for her to marry her daughter over. This way, she could also build a relationship with Su Li. In the future, she would not have to be afraid that Su Li would not take care of her.
Another woman also said. “MV relative also has a daughter who hasn’t been engaged. I’ll get someone to ask her another day.”
She heard that Su Ze was the only child in the Su family. If Su Li had money, how could she not help her own family?
When the time came, she could just give them a little and the Su family would have a very good life!
“You can’t snatch it from me. I said it first!” The woman who spoke first was unhappy.
“There’s no such thing as snatching. It doesn’t matter if we’re not engaged yet.
Let’s rely on our own abilities!”
Previously, they did not believe that Su Li could make a comeback. Now that they knew that Su Li was so capable and could even sell things to the Exquisite Pavilion, they all tried their best to build a relationship with Su Li.
Su Ze was driving the ox cart. When he saw the envious gazes of the villagers, he subconsciously puffed out his chest. This was the first time he had felt the envious gazes of others in his life. This feeling was really great.
After leaving the village, Su Ze turned around and said excitedly to Su Li, “Sister, did you see the envious gazes of the villagers just now? This is the first time I’ve seen someone envious of me!”
“Just now, they were fighting to introduce me a wife. This has never happened before!”
In the past, everyone looked at him with disdain and disgust. They did not even look at him directly. As a result, every time he saw those people, he could not raise his head. He felt a little despised in his heart. He felt that he should not be so bad. Why was he so bad in the eyes of those people?
Su Li felt Su Ze’s change. She patted his shoulder and said, “Ze, don’t care too much about what others think. Otherwise, you’ll be very tired of living. There are so many people in this world. Everyone has their own thoughts. It’s too tiring for you to live in their mouths!”
“I hope that you can only be yourself and do your best. It’s fine as long as you have a clear conscience. I hope that you won’t be happy or sad because of what other people say.”
When Su Ze heard Su Li’s words, he realized that he had become a little arrogant. Just because of a few words from others, he almost flew up high.
He took a deep breath and said, “Sister is right. I didn’t control my emotions well. It won’t happen again!”
Su Li patted his shoulder in relief. “There’s still a long way to go in the future. You have to maintain your original intention and not forget the beginning.”
It was always easy to progress forward, but hard to keep one’s original heart. She hoped that Su Ze could keep his original heart.
Su Ze nodded and said, “I understand, Sister. It won’t happen again!”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu heard their conversation from the side and secretly remembered this matter in their hearts. They thought to themselves that they must not be like their uncle in the future. They would not become arrogant over a small matter. Moreover, others only praised him a little and he was already so proud!
From the looks of it, their uncle was not too smart.
“Achoo-”
Su Ze sneezed and rubbed his nose. “Who’s talking bad about me!”
He Qingyao: “…” He was just complaining in his heart. How could it be so effective?
He Qingmu: ‘ If he was asked, he would refuse to admit it no matter what. Anyway, his uncle did not hear what he was thinking.
The journey was bumpy, and Su Li felt that her butt was about to explode.
Although the seat was very soft, it could not withstand such a bumpy ride.
Along the way, there were potholes everywhere. If it rained, it would be even more uncomfortable. Su Li complained in her heart about the government. They collected so many taxes every year. Couldn’t they spend some money to help the commoners repair the roads?
As the saying went, if one wanted to be rich, they had to build a road first. If this road was always like this, the possibility of the commoners becoming rich was not very high!
Su Li looked at He Qingyao and He Qingmu and asked with concern, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu shook their heads. “Mother, we don’t feel uncomfortable at all!”
Although their butts were a little uncomfortable, they were already very happy to be able to come out, so they could completely ignore that small matter.
Tap, tap, tap-
It was the sound of a carriage.
“Sister, there’s a carriage in front!” Su Ze said.
The road was not wide enough to accommodate the intersection of an ox cart and a carriage.
Su Li said, “Find a suitable place to stop and let the other party pass first..”
