STORM

CHAPTER 201 - LET'S FIND SOME SILVER

That night, Qimu took back all the rights that Spring Flower had in the store and passed it on to Zhaodi. She then hit Spring Flower ten times with a slender stick in order to punish him in front of everyone.

After hitting the Spring Flower, Qimu threw the stick to the side, secretly twisting her wrist which was sore from the rebound. Her eyes swept around the crowd, and she sternly said:

"If something like that happens again, no matter who it is, they will just leave immediately, understand?

Big Fortune shrunk his head back and sighed. Zhaodi was expressionless, icy cold, and Huang Li was calm. Although he was young, his aura overshadowed everyone else's, and they all acted differently, but they all spoke at the same time:

Understood, boss.

Huang Lian nodded in place.

Alright, you can go now. Big Fortune, help Spring Flower to her room and apply medicine for her. Zhaodi, come to my room. I have something to tell you. Huang Lian, you can go back and rest.

Qimu indifferently swept a glance at the purple and bruised Spring Flowers on her calves. After instructing everyone on what to do, she brought Zhaodi upstairs.

Downstairs.

Sister Chunhua, are you alright?

Great Fortune asked worriedly as he held onto Spring Flower's arm and saw her trembling in pain.

I... Ah … It's nothing, it's nothing, Spring Flower panted, looking at Big Fortune, her pale face revealed a smile," Boss not chasing me away is my greatest fortune, I'm very happy …

Sigh, Sister Chunhua, why did you have to do this if you knew of this? In the past, the boss trusted you so much that he gave you everything. Ai, you brought yourself down here to die, so you shouldn't have done this. Now, you're letting my sister take care of those things. She's only a few years old, how can she understand …"

Big Fortune held onto the Spring Flower and slowly walked away. He wanted to comfort her, but every single word he spoke made him sigh, as if she was the one who was being punished.

On the other hand, Spring Flower's calves were hurting. Sweat dripped from her forehead as she gritted her teeth and walked forward, saying:

I know what I have done myself, and I am very satisfied with this result. In the future, do good work and you will have good days ahead of you, so don't worry about Zhaodi. She knows that she won't make the same mistake as me …

Listening to Spring Flower's words, Big Blossom felt a bit uncomfortable. She was clearly the older sister, so why was she not in charge? Did her boss not trust her that much?

Great Fortune's fingers tightened as he struggled in his heart. He still wanted to persuade her, but Spring Flower had suddenly gone to Huang Lian's side. Helpless, Great Fortune had no choice but to go with him.

Little Mute … Huang Lian, I was the one who let you down in the past. I won't do that in the future, just treat it as my sister's momentary confusion and mistake. Forgive me, okay?

A pair of deep blue eyes stared at the Spring Flower as if they could see through one's heart. However, after thinking about that person's words and actions, Huang Lian nodded and turned around to return to his room.

Looking at Huang Lian's back, Chun Hua bitterly smiled and said:

I really am … have done a lot of wrong... Great Fu, do you have any more medicine in the room? Please help me send some to Huang Lian. We are all poor people …

Yes, don't worry, I will. Let's go back.

After a whipping, the spring flowers seemed to have changed from inside out. They became more sentimental and understood how to think for others.

This made Big Fortune unable to say anything more. He could only act like a caring little sister as usual, smiling in response.

Upstairs.

Tomorrow morning, after you've helped Spring Flower and the others make breakfast, come and find me. Let's go out for a stroll and find some silver coins.

Yes, boss.

CHAPTER 202 - CARRIAGE ZHANG XIAOFEI

It was noon in early summer, and the sun was scorching hot. A simple and crude carriage was walking on the small path.

Boss, why are we going to the river? At noon, I'm afraid he will suffer from heatstroke.

Zhaodi's body swayed as the carriage moved. Sweat trickled down her forehead as she looked at Qimu, puzzled.

This morning, we've walked all over the entire Wutong Town, and there's only the river. We haven't gone there yet, so maybe there's a surprise there.

Qimu stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat off her face. Her mouth was unbearably dry and thirsty, but her eyes were sparkling as she continued:

If you want to walk a road that no one else has, you can't earn money from others. If your boss wants to start a big business, just open your eyes wide and watch.

A few months ago, Qimu was still a child that had just walked out of the mountains. She carried a Gynostemma and went into town to do business. From the people on the streets, she found out:

There was a large river beside the Wutong Town that connected to the flourishing Jiangnan City, connecting all directions. Most of the Wutong Town flowed back and forth, and a large portion of it contained this river.

From then on, Qimu had always been thinking about this river. Before the government or the big merchants noticed it or thought about it, she would strike first and gain the upper hand.

If you want to be rich, you have to build your own path, which was the same logic. If you want to be rich, you have to occupy a river.

Listening to Qimu's words, Zhaodi nodded her head as if she didn't really understand what Qimu was saying. She held the window of the car with her hands, feeling as if her body was about to fall apart.

This was the first time she had ever made a carriage, and she had thought it a good thing, but she had never expected it to be so painful.

Two hours later, the carriage finally stopped near a tea house.

Big Boss, Zhaodi, we're at the riverside. Time to get off the car!

The person driving the carriage was a burly man. His name was Zhang Xiaowu, and he had a simple and honest look. His temperament was good, and he had never cheated anyone. He was a well-known good old man.

Sigh, alright.

When Zhaodi heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief and responded loudly to the driver. She swiftly lifted her skirt and got off the car before carefully helping Qimu off the car. She looked just like a servant girl.

Zhaodi, pay up. I have to give you 20 more coins. Thank you for coming here so hard on such a hot day.

Zhaodi's movements were fast too. She immediately took out a copper coin and stuffed it into Zhang Xiaowu's hands, as if she was afraid that he would not accept it.

This... Big Boss, Zhaodi, I don't need so much money for this trip …"

His family was currently in a difficult situation, especially since his wife had just given birth to her fourth child. All day long, he had been unable to make ends meet, but he still felt embarrassed about having to take more money. However, he felt awkward and directly refused.

Our boss already said that he wanted to give it to you, so you should just keep it. You don't need it, you have to think about it for the family. Keep it.

Zhaodi had always been indifferent and cold. Even if it was something that hurt her own interests, she would not necessarily interfere. Now that she was willing to speak so much to Zhang Xiaowu, it was truly rare.

Mm … Good... Thank you, Big Boss. Thank you, Zhaodi. If you're free, then come and see your Aunt Zhang. She's missing you.

Alright, I will, Uncle Zhang.

Qimu raised her eyebrows. So the two of them were old acquaintances. No wonder.

After the transaction was completed, Zhaodi immediately followed behind Qimu. After thinking for a moment, she still felt that her words and actions were too excessive and needed an explanation. She said:

Actually, I'm not very familiar with Uncle Zhang, but Aunt Zhang treats me and my sister extremely well. If it wasn't for her help, the two of us would have already been killed by that woman.

The woman Zhaodi spoke of was her stepmother. Zhaodi and Big Fortune were sold by her stepmother at that time.

Yes, there are so many carriages here to receive guests. When you dragged me to Master Zhang's place, I already felt that you had some sort of relationship with him, but I only found out now that it's a favor in return.

Qimu smiled slightly and revealed the truth with a single sentence.

Zhaodi's face blushed as she glanced at Qimu. Her eyes were warm, filled with yearning and worship as she softly said:

Thank you.

Thank you for repaying this favor for me.

CHAPTER 203 - RIVERSIDE TEA

Silly girl, what are you looking at? It's the sun, so we'll just stand here. You don't have to worry about the heat. Let's go, I'll bring you a cup of cold tea."

Qimu smiled and tapped Zhaodi's forehead, pointing at the simple tea house beside them.

Zhaodi pouted slightly as she muttered to herself in a low voice:

Boss, weren't you looking at me all this time? You even said that I …

However, his movements were nimble as he followed closely behind Qimu into the tea house. At the right time, he called for the waiter and ordered some simple tea water.

The tea house that Zhang Xiaowu had stopped at was not big. It looked simple and crude, so he drank it all in one gulp. It did not look like he was in the mood to talk about tea, but it was clean and hospitable.

Sir, your tea is here.

A shout pulled Qimu's gaze away from the surroundings. She smiled politely at the waiter, but her gaze stopped at the boy's fingernails that were placed next to the bowl.

Qimu's fingernails were a bit long and dark, and they would come into contact with the tea in the bowl from time to time. She pursed her lips and suddenly felt that she wasn't that thirsty anymore.

She was a little squeamish, not serious, but with regards to the things in the entrance... Embarrassed.

Boss, drink.

Zhaodi had never eaten much since she was young, so it was rare for her to eat. Naturally, she didn't care too much about such small details. Following the Boss, please come first rule, Zhaodi took the tea bowl from her hands and pushed it in front of Qimu.

Qimu pursed her lips helplessly. She wasn't thirsty yet, so she could still endure for a while before saying with a smile:

I'm not thirsty, just drink.

Unexpectedly, Zhaodi had already picked up the teacup and was about to drink it. Qimu's words made her put down the teacup as she said with a puzzled expression,

"How could he not be thirsty? The journey from the town to here is not long, but we are also tired. The sun is also scorching heavily along the way, so don't refuse it, Boss. It's not like it's anything good.

Seeing Zhaodi's passionate and direct gaze, Qimu took a deep breath and said:

I am truly not thirsty. Quickly, drink it. After you finish, we will go and see what the situation around us is like.

Zhaodi's stubborn temper rose. She didn't touch the bowl with her hands and instead raised her voice a little as she said:

Boss, if Uncle Zhang finds a teahouse that's not good, then we might as well change it to another place. With this kind of pretentious attitude, what should we do when we catch sunstroke? In any case, Boss is not thirsty, and neither am I.

Qimu sighed helplessly. She didn't know how to start a conversation. In someone else's territory, who would dare say the wrong thing to someone else?

Zhaodi, stop messing around. Drink up and go back to work.

This time, Zhaodi did not reply, but instead silently confronted Qimu. Qimu felt a headache; she was clearly born from the same mother's womb. Big Fortune had a gentle personality, so why was Zhaodi so stubborn?

The two of them were in a deadlock for a while. The other customers in the tea house looked at each other for a while. Then, a woman in a headscarf came over with two bowls of steaming tea.

Young Master, little girl, I have freshly brewed tea here, but it's still a bit hot. If you don't mind, you can change it. Don't worry, I will personally do everything from fetching water to filling the bowl.

Qimu saw the embarrassment on the woman's face, as well as the meaning behind her words. After a moment of thought, she understood that the woman must have sensed the reason why she didn't want to drink tea.

Thank you. I will also pay for these two bowls.

Qimu didn't shirk this time and accepted it decisively. Drinking clean hot tea was always better than no tea at all.

Hearing this, Zhaodi raised her head again. Her eyes looked a little unhappy. She was intelligent to begin with, so what could she possibly not understand?

However, perhaps it was because the environment and habits were different, Zhaodi still felt that there was nothing wrong. Which family's child didn't grow up crawling on the ground? If there were too many dirty places, wouldn't it be fine?

However, she secretly decided to keep up with her boss, even if it was a bit unreasonable.

CHAPTER 204 - XU NIANG

Since the woman wearing the headscarf had kindly changed Qimu's bowl of tea, this matter was naturally settled. Those who needed to pay the money, those who needed to drink the tea, and those who needed to drink the tea, they were in an orderly manner.

However, when the waiter next to him saw this scene, he did not know why, but his expression was somewhat unhappy. He glanced in Qimu's direction and muttered in his mouth:

He's no noble or noble person. He must act noble and noble. If you have the ability, don't come to us. Go to the river and bring water to boil some tea. He isn't even willing to part with a copper coin …

Those who frequently came to the riverside were mostly businessmen. Naturally, there was no lack of generous people among them. After drinking a bowl of tea, the reward they gave was a dozen or so bowls of tea.

The waiter seemed to be talking to himself, but his voice wasn't soft. Everyone in the tea house heard him and couldn't help but look over at Qimu. Since that waiter was so brazen, Qimu couldn't be a turtle hiding in its shell, right?

Seeing this, Zhaodi's expression changed instantly. Qimu was an existence that no one could offend in their hearts. How could she allow a mere waiter to show her face?

You …

Just as Zhaodi was about to stand up and speak, Qimu smiled and stopped her with her gaze. Her expression remained calm and indifferent, as if she was unmoved by the waiter's words.

Her master didn't mind, but Zhaodi was still angered. What a nice person her boss was to be offended by a vulgar and greedy person. However, Qimu's light words completely dispelled Zhaodi's thoughts.

What are we here for? What kind of trouble could they come up with? He is trapped in a copper coin, so why should we?

These words made Zhaodi suddenly realize something. That's right, even if she went up to fight with that waiter, they wouldn't get anything. On the contrary, they might waste a lot of time on trivial matters.

When the others in the tea house saw Qimu's reaction, they did not pay any more attention to it.

However, those far away who didn't hear Qimu's words couldn't help but look at her with disdain. They didn't even dare to scold an impudent waiter. Wasn't this temper a little too cowardly?

A dignified master, he didn't have the temperament of the servant girl beside him.

When the waiter saw this, he raised his head even higher. When he spoke, he did not even make a rough draft.

Traveling to the north and south, this lord has seen a lot of people. A brat who's still wet behind the ears dares to make me …

Suddenly, the woman in the headscarf walked up to the waiter and shoved a kettle of hot water into his arms.

Ah! What are you doing?! This kettle is burning?! Lady Xu, you have no eyes?!

The woman called Lady Xu smiled. Her actions were decisive, but her voice was still gentle and kind as she said:

Er Genzi, there's no water left. Go and heat up a pot of it, or else you won't be able to sell it later. If Bro Cheng comes, then you have to blame him.

The waiter, who was called Er Genzi, looked at Lady Xu in front of him. His eyes turned cold and his fists clenched tightly. He was about to say something when he heard the words Brother Cheng.

Brother Cheng was his father. As a son, how could he not be afraid of being his father? His father had beaten him up when he was young, and it was precisely because of this that he ran away from home.

However, he didn't expect to return home. A good home was gone, his mother was gone, his sister-in-law was gone, and even half of her family property was gone. All that was left was a small teahouse with a fox spirit that bewitched his father.

Thinking of this, Er Genzi grabbed the kettle harder and harder. His eyes were filled with deep regret. He should never have left home. Why did this fox spirit sit on top of everything when his mother's brother and sister didn't even know where they were suffering?

Everyone saw that the waiter was about to say something, but after being dismissed by Lady Xu, how did he turn his head away? And how did he turn back now? That kind of expression didn't allow anything to happen.

Ignoring everyone's thoughts, Lady Xu sent Er Genzi off and took a stack of snacks before putting it on Qimu's table. With an apologetic smile, she said softly,

This child is mischievous. He left home not long ago and did not know the origins of the matter. In his heart, he was a bit resentful towards me, and even implicated the two of you. I am truly sorry.

The waiter's performance was originally a joke in Qimu's eyes. Now that Lady Xu had given her an explanation, she was quite tactful. Qimu did not make things difficult for her and said with a smile:

It's common for little kids to have bad tempers. As adults, we naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

Lady Xu was slightly surprised, but she quickly nodded in agreement and said:

Yes, Young Master is very magnanimous.

As soon as the song ended, the teahouse burst into laughter. In terms of age, the waiter was older than Qimu by more than ten years. Now, in her eyes, he had become a child's family.

CHAPTER 205 - PARACHUTE

Moments later, Qimu and Zhaodi finished their tea, feeling refreshed. Qimu glanced at the sun outside and frowned slightly. She then beckoned for Lady Xu to go over and politely asked,

Lady Boss, do you know where can I buy umbrellas? Now that the sun is high, we still have to go to the river. Without an umbrella, I'm afraid we'll get heatstroke.

Lady Xu had a very good impression of Qimu. She smiled and said,

There is a pier by the river where umbrellas are sold, but there are still quite a few roads away from here. Is Young Master here to pick him up? If you don't mind, I do have an old umbrella that I can lend you. "

Normally, the people who came to the river bank would either just get off the boat or come from the town to pick them up. Lady Xu saw that Qimu and Qimu didn't have any luggage on them, so she thought she was here to pick them up too.

Qimu didn't directly answer Lady Xu's question, but she stood up with her hands clasped in front of her, and said:

With an umbrella, you're just too good. How would you dare pick old and new? Thank you, Lady Boss."

When Qimu stood up, Zhaodi quickly followed and smiled at Lady Xu.

Lady Xu said:

Please wait a moment, I will go and get it.

When Lady Xu went to get
