Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Chapter 218 Rebound

Without further ado, it took Qin Ying half a month to sort out the affairs at the manor.

As the New Year was approaching, she could no longer stay with An An and chose to return to the city.

The next step is to buy New Year’s goods.

The mother and daughter are very busy every day. They almost have to go out to buy groceries after breakfast, and most of the time they have lunch outside.

The first thing to do is to buy rice, flour and oil. There are many people in the city, and if you want to have a rich New Year, you need to buy a lot of rice, flour and oil.

On the first day when they went shopping, they were stopped by a well-dressed middle-aged man because they had sold out the goods from two grain and oil stores.

The man asked with a dark face: "Woman, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Qin Ying had not yet been officially conferred a title, and was wearing her own old clothes. Although they were the best in Tongshu Village, they were just like ordinary people in the capital.

For convenience, the mother and daughter traveled in a small mule cart. Although there was a carriage on the cart, it was very narrow.

There were a few carts following behind, which took away after being filled.

Qin Ying frowned slightly, took a few steps back, and protected An An behind her, because the middle-aged man was accompanied by several strong servants, and his posture was intimidating.

The middle-aged man was pleased to see her like this. He raised his chin and said, "You are not allowed to enter this grain and oil store. You can only enter after we have made some purchases."

"This..." Qin Ying smiled faintly, "Isn't the steward a little unreasonable?

"In terms of order, we arrived at the store first; in terms of money, we always pay for the goods.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, why are we not allowed to buy anything?"

The middle-aged man sneered, "Do you know how much I have to do every day? Just because you upstarts from the countryside don't know the rules, you made me walk a few more miles! I wasted half a day!"

"To tell you the truth, we are from General Wuwei's residence! We are hosting a banquet tomorrow, and we are still short of ingredients. If we delay this important matter, you will lose your heads!"

An An poked her head out from behind Qin Ying. She had now reached the point where she could direct her malice towards the people she cared about.

Qin Ying was of course within her protection. She raised her eyebrows at the middle-aged man and said, "What a sin! He's so old but still gets the upper and lower excretion outlets mixed up."

The middle-aged man glared at An An fiercely.

But this glare suddenly made him feel pain in his eyes. When he was about to raise his hand to rub his eyes, he accidentally bit his tongue and couldn't help but gasp.

The person behind him saw him staggering and hurried over to support him: "Manager Feng, are you okay?"

Manager Feng opened his mouth, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. He couldn't make any sound, but everyone heard a series of "puff" sounds.

An An quickly pulled Qin Ying back.

The air was soon filled with a disgusting stench. The faces of the people close to Manager Feng turned green and they even started rolling their eyes.

People a little further away were also affected and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses to avoid the attack. Someone, not knowing what was going on, shouted, "Who is this? Did they fart or poop in their pocket?"

Manager Feng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He wanted to say something, but his mouth was in great pain.

An An was about to go forward, but was pulled back by Qin Ying. "Since Mr. Feng won't let us in, let's go to another place."

Although I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm afraid that if similar things happen too often, someone will start to suspect An An.

The mother and daughter took people to the next grain and oil store.

Today's incident did not cause any trouble, and Manager Feng did not vent his anger on the mother and daughter. Instead, the people who served him and the cook in his private residence suffered the unprovoked disaster.

The cook was severely punished and felt resentful. One day, she really put croton seeds in the food of Manager Feng, intending to make him suffer a loss.

However, he was overly sensitive to croton and had diarrhea for three days and three nights. The last time he went to the toilet, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand steadily when he stood up, and he fell headfirst. When he was found by the servants, his body was already cold.

Because his death was so ignominious, his family did not dare to make it public and only said that he died suddenly from an acute illness.

Of course, this is all off topic, so let’s not talk about it here.

After buying rice, flour, grain and oil, Qin Ying took An An to the cloth shop to buy some ready-made clothes and some cloth.

Thinking that she should make two beautiful dresses for An An, she took her to a larger embroidery shop to see what new embroidery styles there were in the capital.

But as soon as they entered the store, four old women and four maids came in, escorting a young woman dressed in gold and jade.

She was called "magnificent" because she was wearing a robe with gold-woven round flowers, a torn skirt with gold butterflies, and embroidered shoes with pearls the size of longan hanging on the hem of her skirt.

She wore a crown inlaid with gold and gems on her head. All the flowers were lifelike, except for one or two paper flowers and velvet flowers. The rest were either peonies made of gold foil or butterflies and dragonflies made of rice beads.

All the flowers and leaves are made of polished jade.

Both pairs of red gold temples were inlaid with huge rubies.

Qin Ying was fine. She glanced at him and then looked away, pulling An An into a corner. Their business was more important, and they couldn't waste time on unimportant people.

An An made two "tsk tsk" sounds and quietly asked Qin Ying: "Mom, doesn't her neck hurt?"

Qin Ying chuckled and shook her head, then picked her up and asked her, "Do you have any favorite tricks?"

They didn't want to cause trouble, but the magnificent woman refused to let them go. She glanced at them coldly and then looked at the old woman beside her.

The old woman stepped forward and said to the shop owner, "Since when have you allowed even cats and dogs to enter your shop? Clear out all the filth! Otherwise, don't blame my princess for not patronizing your shop again!"

An An curled her lips. Someone was looking for trouble, what could she do?

The old woman was about to continue her outburst when she suddenly felt her feet go weak and she fell straight forward.

The incident happened suddenly and no one could react. She fell to the ground with a "bang" and her entire face hit the bluestone floor hard, causing her skin to be broken and bleeding.

When he was helped up, his face was in a terrible state. Not only was it covered in blood and mud, but his entire face was swollen like a pig's head.

The princess frowned and snorted.

Without waiting for her order, two maids came out and helped the injured person out.

The princess lowered her eyes and stared at the dirt on the ground. She was in a very bad mood and turned away.

When she stepped over the threshold, she tripped and almost fell out. Fortunately, the maid beside her reacted quickly and caught her in time.

The man stood firmly, but the pearls hanging from his shoes were scattered all over the ground.

The veins on the princess' forehead jumped, and she continued to walk forward with a dark face. She stepped on a pearl without paying attention, and her ankle bent at an incredible angle. She screamed in pain and fell onto the maid beside her.

The maid tried her best to keep her balance, but she didn't expect that she had stepped on a pearl and couldn't keep her balance at all. The two of them rolled on the ground like a gourd.
