Shen Jiao is also a powerful person. Since she couldn't convince Shen Qingqian, she directly attacked Gao Xiuwen.

Shen Jiao was smart and eloquent, and it didn't take long for her to win over Gao Xiuwen.

At Shen Jiao's instigation, Gao Xiuwen came to the door and was determined to break off the engagement with Shen Qingqian.

Although Shen Qingqian was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to agree in the end.

A few days later, Gao Xiuwen and Shen Jiao got engaged.

Shen Qingqian was so sad and angry that she couldn't get over it and jumped into the river.

Xu Guihua knew that Gao Xiuwen’s mother didn’t actually like Shen Jiao, but preferred Shen Qingqian. However, she couldn’t persuade her son and could only reluctantly accept Shen Jiao.

Therefore, Xu Guihua was still worried. She felt that only by marrying Shen Qingqian would Shen Jiao and Gao Xiuwen's marriage be secure.

Shen Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Mom, my cousin Xu Shan from my uncle's family hasn't gotten engaged yet, right?"

"Jiaojiao, do you mean to marry Shen Qingqian to your cousin Xu Shan?"

Shen Jiao nodded and said, "I remember that cousin Xu Shan is also 25 this year! The last time we went back to grandma's house, my uncle was worried about his marriage. I think Shen Qingqian is just right."

Xu Shan is Xu Guihua's nephew. He is idle all day long and does not work properly. Sometimes he even does some sneaky things.

Xu Guihua's parents' home is in Yangshu Village, next to Shenjia Village. Xu Shan is the son of Xu Guihua's eldest brother. He does not have a good reputation in the village, so it is naturally difficult for him to find a wife.

Xu Guihua thought about it and thought, this is a good idea! Why didn't she think of it?

By betrothing Shen Qingqian to Xu Shan, not only will Shen Qingqian no longer have to stay at home and be an eyesore, but Xu Shan's lifelong affairs will also be resolved. It really kills two birds with one stone!

Shen Mei said: "But, I'm afraid my second brother won't agree to this. If my second brother comes out to stop it, this matter will not be easy to handle!"

Shen Jiao rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, my second brother works for Landlord Liu and only gets paid 300 wen a month. Dad works in town and can earn 500 wen a month. How about letting my second brother go to work in town with Dad?"

When Xu Guihua heard what Shen Jiao said, she understood what she meant.

If Shen Qingfeng went to work in the town and only came home once a month, he would not be able to protect Shen Qingqian, the little bitch. Shen Qingqian was still controlled by her!

Also, Shen Qingfeng and Shen Dakuan worked together, and the wages were all under Shen Dakuan's nose, so he was not afraid that he would keep it to himself!

Thinking of this, Xu Guihua felt extremely proud. Her Jiaojiao was indeed smart!

"I estimate that your father will be back in the next two days. I will then tell him to bring Shen Qingfeng to the town to work."

Xu Guihua and her two daughters were planning how to plot against Shen Qingqian, but Shen Qingqian was thinking about how to make money!

Two days later, Shen Qingqian came to town again. She wanted to see if there were any business opportunities.

Shen Qingqian walked back and forth on the street, observing the conditions of various shops.

In front of her, there was also a woman of similar age strolling on the street.

Unlike Shen Qingqian, that woman was dressed gorgeously, had exquisite makeup, and an arrogant look. She was followed by a maid. She was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family.

Shen Qingqian sighed in her heart, wondering when she could become a rich person in this world!

Just as Shen Qingqian was complaining in her heart, a young boy suddenly appeared from nowhere, bumped into the lady in front, and ran away.

"How can you walk without eyes?" the lady scolded with disgust.

Shen Qingqian saw it clearly that the boy took away the young lady's purse.

"Stop, thief!"

Without thinking, Shen Qingqian chased after the thief.

After hearing Shen Qingqian's shout, the young lady realized something. She felt around and found that her purse was missing.

The thief ran very fast and disappeared into the alley in no time.

Moreover, it seems that the thief is very familiar with the terrain. He turns left and right, jumps up and down, and it is impossible for ordinary people to catch up with him.

But Shen Qingqian was not an ordinary person. She was more flexible than the thief and ran much faster than ordinary people. She always kept a distance from the thief.

After running through several alleys, the thief was almost exhausted, but Shen Qingqian's heart was still steady and he was not out of breath.

The thief was devastated. She looked like an inconspicuous little girl, so why was it so hard to get rid of her?

Finally, the thief finally compromised, threw the purse to Shen Qingqian, and said, "Don't chase me, I'll give you the purse back!"

Shen Qingqian grabbed him and said rudely: "You stole something and you still want to run away! Come with me to the government office!"

The thief was frightened when he heard this, and said with a sad face: "Auntie, I've already given you the purse, please forgive me! I have no choice but to do this!"

Shen Qingqian thought for a moment and said, "Then you come back with me first. If the owner doesn't mind, I'll let you go. Otherwise, you'll have to go to the government office."

The thief had no choice but to let it go now that he had fallen into Shen Qingqian's hands.

Shen Qingqian took the thief back to the previous place, and sure enough, the young lady and her maid were still there.

Shen Qingqian handed the purse to the young lady and said, "This should be your purse. Check to see if anything is missing. I have already caught the person. It is up to you to decide how to deal with him."

The young lady opened her purse and took a look. She found that nothing was missing, so she took out two taels of silver and handed it to Shen Qingqian, saying lightly, "Here, this is a reward for you!"

Shen Qingqian frowned and asked, "Miss, what do you mean?"

Before the young lady could speak, the maid behind her said, "In Ping'an Town, there are many people who want to curry favor with my young lady. Since you have worked so hard to recover the purse, you can take the reward from the young lady."

Shen Qingqian looked at the arrogant attitude of the two people and felt very unhappy. Who are these people?

She sneered, “If I had known this would happen, I would have given this opportunity to curry favor to someone else!

Today I am the one who is meddling in other people's business!"

Without waiting for the master and servant to speak, she said to the thief: "I shouldn't have chased you today, go away!"

The thief looked at Shen Qingqian with disbelief, and Shen Qingqian just let go of him, and the thief ran away like a duck.

"Hey, why did you let him go?" the maid shouted.

"My pleasure!"

Shen Qingqian replied bluntly, no longer paying attention to the strange master and servant pair, and turned and left.

The maid looked at Shen Qingqian's back as she left and said angrily, "You're wearing such tattered clothes, you look like a poor fellow, why are you so arrogant?"

The young lady curled her lips and said, "Forget it, since she helped me find my purse, I won't bother with her this time!"

Shen Qingqian wandered around for a day and had an idea in his mind.

No matter whether it is a big restaurant or a small restaurant in the town, they all sell stir-fried dishes, so Shen Qingqian plans to open a hot pot restaurant.

Moreover, the weather is getting colder, and eating hot pot in winter is even more exciting!

However, the few taels of silver in her pocket were not enough to open a small shop with only five or six tables.

Then Shen Qingqian thought of the sword again. It seemed that she had no choice but to pawn the sword first.

She had already inquired about it today. The pawnshop here has two types of pawning: live and dead. She planned to pawn the sword live and redeem it when she made money.
