Zhang Shan's footsteps were much faster than Qin Wuya's. The moment Qin Wuya stepped into the Li Family Village, Zhang Shan also followed suit, but with the situation in front of him, Zhang Shan did not dare to recklessly follow behind.

In fact, Zhang Shan could be considered half a practitioner who had been on the streets for years. He was naturally familiar with this kind of tracking job, as the place he hid himself was not too far away from him. It was extremely secretive, even if he was on guard, he might not have discovered it, furthermore, Qin Wuya was infuriated by these two surnamed Wang, so he naturally would not discover anything suspicious.

If Zhang Shan had actually seen two women looking for trouble with Qin Wuya the moment she had arrived at the Li family village, he had thought that since Qin Wuya was born with a delicate and weak body, she would definitely not be able to withstand the bullying of the two robust women. She had originally wanted to help a little, but she did not expect that Qin Wuya's personality was not like her, so easily bullied. Especially since the tone of her voice was also completely useless. With merely a few words, she had scared the two robust women who seemed to be difficult to deal with quite a bit.

Zhang Shan was shocked at first, but then he saw his interest. Last time, when he was selling salt, he saw that this girl was not simple.

It was not that Zhang Shan had not seen those submissive and submissive women before, but he knew that these people were naturally timid and afraid by nature, or had never seen too much of the world. Yet, he had rarely seen someone like the little girl in front of him, who was clearly cautious in every way, fearless and calm at the same time.

To have such a temperament at such a young age, forget about ordinary families or ordinary girls, even they might not be able to achieve such a feat. It was also because of this that Zhang Shan couldn't help but look at Qin Wuya with a more serious expression.

Qin Wuya was naturally not aware that she was being chased all the way, and did not know that her arrogant and vicious appearance was seen by an outsider. If she knew, she would not be as brazen as she was now.

Actually, Qin Wuya was a very ordinary person, and also very secular. She didn't learn anything else during her months in Qin family, but she did learn a trick or two to put on airs. She knew that many women of this era were not suitable to be too domineering. They would make people feel that they were too overbearing and displeased with them.

Sometimes, even though you are clearly in the right, you still end up suffering because of your unlikeable personality. For people like Wang Dahua, she could only be unruly in the Qin family. Once she left the Qin family, no one in the village would buy her money, whether it was because she had taken advantage of them or because she had suffered a huge loss, they would definitely take it as a joke.

Of course, Qin Wuya never thought of becoming a soft bun like the Madam Lin, nor would she care about the rules of being a woman's wife who would swallow her anger and bear it.

Qin Wuya only knew that she didn't have much ability or foundation, she was just a little girl who was easy to bully. If she wanted to live a good life in this world, she would have to put on an act and act like a pig to eat the tiger, which was why she appeared to be cautious at every corner. When people who were unaware saw the Country girl who they thought was the most common and easily bullied, they did not know that Qin Wuya was actually more shrewd than anyone else.

Seeing that Qin Wuya had such a hard heart, Wang Dahua knew that she couldn't scare her with her words, and could only roll on the ground and make a ruckus.

The pitiful Wang Chunxing who was just suppressed by Wang Dahua a single time but was unable to get a breath of fresh air was squashed by Wang Dahua's hands. She could not even cry out when she heard Wang Chunxing.

Qin Wuya coldly looked at Wang Dahua and felt that she was actually just a grasshopper who would bully the weak and fear the strong.

Thinking about it, Qin Wuya could not help but think of Old Man Qin who was standing behind Wang Dahua, and felt that her heart was blocked by a foul air, this was the true boss that gave her a headache.

It would take a lot of thought to get rid of this Bosspk, and the appointed time would pass as well. At the end of the month, he would have to fight directly with Old Man Qin, and Qin Wuya did not know what would happen then.

However, she had also given herself a precaution. She knew that it would be extremely difficult to get out of this situation, so she could not rely on the paperwork she was currently writing. The loyal and filial title of Grand Dynasty was too heavy.

When Qin Wuya left, she even intentionally stepped on Wang Dahua's feet, and only after hearing Wang Dahua's pig like howls did she walk towards the Western Mountain in satisfaction.

In the past few days, while he was free, Qin Wuya had walked back and forth several times and basically picked all of the remaining agaric in the Western Mountain, and sunned them all in the courtyard of his new residence.

When Madam Li was free, she would often bring freshly roasted peanuts to talk to Qin Wuya to relieve her boredom, but when they came looking for him for the first time, they were truly frightened quite a bit by the black mass of agaric in front of Qin Wuya's door. Only after looking carefully did she realize that Qin Wuya had officially asked Qin Wuya about the agaric that he had eaten with a few days ago.

After knowing that Qin Wuya had obtained these dishes from some distant relative in the south, and that they were all going to dry out and take them to a restaurant to sell, why didn't she accept the agaric that Qin Wuya sent to him again, saying that she didn't like to eat.

Qin Wuya naturally knew that the Madam Li was pitying him, a young maiden, for being alone in such a small business. It was already cooked. The Madam Li couldn't reject Qin Wuya so she just kept Qin Wuya to eat with him.

Qin Wuya was grateful to Madam Li for taking care of him, so sshe scooped up a full bowl of fruit paste and sent it over to Madam Li so he could have a taste of the peach blossoms.

Madam Li originally thought that it was just for the little child to eat, so shshedidn't take it to heart. However, when it became night time, she unintentionally heard her daughter say that this thing was very fragrant, so he curiously took a sip. Madam Li sensed that something was amiss.

Although Madam Li did not know what exactly this thing was made of, sshe could guess that this was definitely not an ordinary cheap item. Immediately, he found his own man, Zhang Quan, to share his thoughts.

Hearing that, Zhang Quan became anxious, he hurriedly locked the leftover jam into the kitchen cabinet, and stopped letting his daughter take a bite, then carefully asked Madam Li:

"How about we send the leftover jam back to Qin Yatou tomorrow. We can't afford to spend so much money on such good stuff."

"If the peach blossoms had not been touched, I would have sent them back now. But the peach blossoms have eaten quite a bit in the afternoon, so what's the point in sending them back now?" Madam Li frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his husband's words.

"What you say is reasonable. However, what should we do now?"

Zhang Quan was a good, honest, capable, and very fond of Madam Li and his children, but he was a little weak in character, and did not have any opinions when it came to matters.

Madam Li, on the other hand, was not only quite the opposite. Not only was she quite capable, she was also extremely unyielding, which just happened to make up for Zhang Quan's inadequacies. After the two of them got married, these problems became more and more obvious.

Fortunately, although Zhang Quan did not have any opinions, he was not a man who was weak and had the ability to be petty. Instead, he would look for the Madam Li for advice on everything, and over time, he developed the personality of handing over the difficult problem to the Madam Li.

"Ai!" Seeing that his husband was talking to him again, Madam Li sighed and could not help but feel helpless.

Fortunately, Madam Li knew her man's personality so she didn't pay much attention to him. In fact, the Madam Li never forced Zhang Quan to learn to be more powerful. It was said that no one was perfect, so it was fortunate for him to be able to find such a perfect man in his entire life.

"These things are definitely not good enough now, there is nothing decent in our house to give back to Qin Yatou, this really makes me troubled."

"Why don't I go outside tomorrow to find out the price of this thing, then we can break the silver and give it back to Wuya." Zhang Quan thought.

"Of course not." Madam Li saw that his man had come up with a rotten idea and immediately interrupted him: "Firstly, I saw that this thing was extremely precious and I also saw it with my eyes. I was afraid that even if you went outside, you might not be able to get the price. Secondly, we already know the price. Sending the silver taels over in such a straightforward manner is not a slap to Qin Yatou's face, you don't want to live up to Qin Yatou's good intentions? "

"My wife, what you said is reasonable. Giving away money is not a matter of humiliating others." Zhang Quan nodded his head as he heard this but did not dare to continue. He was afraid that he had said something stupid.

"Right now, I can't think of any way to bear Qin Yatou's heavy treatment. I can only think of ways to take care of him in the future."

"Of course, it's not easy for Wu Ya to be alone outside. We also have to take care of this place, and from what I see, Wu Ya is the most open-minded and easy to get along with. I'm sure he knows what we're thinking after a while." Zhang Quan comforted Madam Li.

"You're right. That's the only way." The Madam Li nodded, but was curious about Qin Wuya.

She had originally thought that Qin Wuya being alone in the world with no one to rely on was extremely pitiful. However, now that she thought about it carefully, Qin Wuya's usual style and speech could not be compared to an ordinary peasant girl's.

Could it be that the daughter of some noble family was in trouble?

Madam Li made wild guesses for an entire night but she still could not come up with a conclusion. She only asked Zhang Quan to go out of the city the next day to fish for them. Then, she personally picked out two of the biggest and fattest ones from the inside for Qin Wuya to send over, and even helped Wu Ya clean up the agaric outside.

Wu Ya's mind was completely focused on the Guest Home Resturant's agaric tomorrow, and how many jars of fruit paste he would need to be sent to Zhang Mansion. He did not notice anything strange about Madam Li and only felt that Madam Li was grateful to him for taking care of him, as usual.

Qin Wuya had initially calculated that she could still make around four cans of wild grapes on the Western Mountain, but she didn't expect that the wild grapes would ripen so quickly in these past few days.

This caused Qin Wuya to be slightly annoyed, and she started to think about how she should split the six pots of fruit jam.

According to their original agreement, they would send two pots to Zhang Mansion to deliver the remaining four pots there for emergency use. It would be better to send four pots to Zhang Mansion to collect rewards and send only two pots to Guest Home Resturant.

Although it could help the Manager Wu a little, it made it difficult for Qin Wuya to recover what she originally wanted to say. If it was calculated, there would be no problems on the side of the Manager Wu, but it was not that easy to deceive the Zhang Mansion either.

Qin Wuya naturally knew that the only reason why she could get twenty gold coins in front of him was because she wanted to receive a reward from her in person.

If he sent it back, based on her temper, Miss Zhang would definitely not bother to summon it again. At most, she would just accept it on behalf of the Nanny Cui, at that time, he could only settle the balance with the manager of the Zhang Family. The price wouldn't be that high compared to the Manager Wu.

Furthermore, the amount of things that he had sent over in one go had actually made the Zhang Family feel like his things were being taken down even more.

After thinking about it, Qin Wuya decided to compromise and give each of them three pots. Each household only had one jar more, so it could be said that they had more Western Fruits than they had expected. Thus, they made more excuses.

Although there was only one person who could not eat that much, the Zhang Mansion did not mind taking one more jar. After all, the Zhang Mansion did have an ice cave, so the two of them did not mind taking one more.

After making up her mind, Qin Wuya carried three jars of fruit jam to Zhang Mansion. This time, Big Miss Zhang did not have the intention to call for him, she only sent a manager who was in charge of collecting ingredients to meet Qin Wuya with Nanny Cui.

"Cui mama, how have you been?" Qin Wuya had always been one to differentiate between gratitude and grievances, so those who bullied his before shouldn't expect her to repay them with his kindness, but she would definitely miss those who helped her. After half a month, after seeing prod, her tone now couldn't help but become more friendly.

"Little girl, you're finally here. "Last time, I said that I would come here when I was free, but why have I come now? Could it be that last time was to coax me to be happy?"

Seeing Wu Ya dressed in these new clothes, Nanny Cui was naturally very happy that she had tidied up properly. Then, she thought that this girl had genuinely taken her words to heart. She was actually so obedient and sensible at such a young age. She couldn't help but feel a bit closer to her.

Watching prod and Qin Wuya conversing passionately, the manager standing beside Nanny Cui did not have any plans to speak, she only had an indifferent expression, as if intentionally or unwittingly she had sized up Qin Wuya from head to toe.

Everyone knew that the management of a large family had their own methods. It was either the son of a reputable family or someone related to the family's owner or his wife and concubine that could get such a good benefit.

Accepting goods from deep within the sect was something that everyone knew. Thus, only those who did things had some sense of propriety, and they would carefully take care of the things that they procured for their master. In a situation where people did not try to deceive others, the owners of the house would usually keep one eye open and the other closed, pretending not to be able to see anything.

The reason for this was naturally because the things that the owner had personally purchased from the outside world would usually not be much cheaper than the ones that the steward was responsible for. There were even times when the owner would be sold off because he did not know his own clan.
