Chapter 4: Selling Candied Haws and Meeting Her Ex-Fiance(2/2)
Sure enough, Cui Zixuan coughed unnaturally, "But you can go back to Shen's house the next day! This is just a mistake!"
"Oolong?" Shen Yunxi pointed to the scar on his finger, "You think this is an oolong? I almost died!"
"There is also the Mu family's one hundred and twenty taels of silver. Is that a mistake?" Shen Yunxi's tone was a bit unpleasant.
Cui Zixuan immediately said seriously, "Yun Xi, I don't know what the Shen family has done. There is no need for you to be angry with me, right?"
"Anyway, I'm married to Mu Chenglin now and have nothing to do with you anymore. You can leave!" Shen Yunxi was too lazy to argue with him.
"Yunxi, are you driving me away? Do you know who I am?" Cui Zixuan just felt that he could not save his face. In the past, no matter how he preached, Shen Yunxi would always lower his head and remain silent.
Shen Yunxi now dares to drive him away!
"Who are you? Aren't you Cui Zixuan and Cui Xiucai? You were engaged to me and received a lot of benefits from my mother. Are you Cui Xiucai who is now engaged to my step-sister?"
Cui Zixuan looked around, "Shen Yunxi, what are you talking about? When will I get engaged to your stepsister?"
"Shen Pingping has already told me what happened to you. A little girl like Shen Pingping dares to take the blame, but you, the great scholar Cui, don't dare to admit it?"
Cui Zixuan looked disdainful, "I, Cui Zixuan, am not blind, will I fall in love with Shen Pingping?"
Shen Yunxi:??? Could it be that the memory of the original owner was not only missing, but also had errors?
Cui Zixuan looked around, lowered his head and said softly to Shen Yunxi, "It doesn't hurt to tell you. The one the Shen family wants to engage me is your little aunt Shen Xiujuan."
Shen Yunxi was shocked!
At this moment, she finally understood why the Shen family allowed the mother and daughter to do whatever they wanted. It turned out that they wanted to betroth the scholar to their own daughter.
Cui Zixuan is only sixteen years old this year. He was the head of the case when he was selected as a scholar. He is very famous in the whole town, and many people want to marry their daughters to him.
He actually agreed to marry Shen Xiujuan. It must be Mrs. Shen who gave him good conditions.
"How much dowry will my grandma give you?"
Cui Zixuan held out three fingers and said, "Thirty acres of land, plus two hundred taels of silver!"
Good guy! This amount of money is astronomical to the banker.
The land was bought with the money left by the original owner's mother, and among the two hundred taels was Mu Chenglin's one hundred and twenty taels.
"Why did you come here and tell me?"
Cui Zixuan looked around, squatted down, and said to Shen Yunxi, "Yunxi, the person I like most is still you. Marrying your aunt is just a temporary solution."
"I am going to take the provincial examination next year, which requires a lot of money. After passing the provincial examination, I will continue to take the examination. That's why I agreed to marry your aunt."
"But Yun Xi, you are the most important girl in my heart. Come with me, and I will ensure that you have a good time and drink hot food from now on."
"At least I won't let you do business in public!"
Shen Yunxi was immediately amused, "Cui Zixuan, where do you get your confidence? You are just a scholar, and a few girls in the town are hanging around you, and you feel like you are a piece of gold?"
"Let me tell you, since I, Shen Yunxi, have married Mu Chenglin, I will be a member of the Mu family for the rest of my life. Please keep a good distance from me!"
Cui Zixuan stood up and said, "Shen Yunxi, don't be so shameless. Mu Chenglin has no money anymore. He is just a poor hunter and he has a loser at home. You will only suffer hardship if you follow him!"
"That's better than being shameless like you!" Shen Yunxi raised his head and looked at Cui Zixuan with contempt.
First, Shen Pingping and Mr. Liu misunderstood, then kicked the original owner away, and then married the original owner's aunt. Now, he wants to make the original owner his lover and enjoy the blessings of everyone!
It's just a little scholar who dares to do this. When he goes to high school in the future, how can these women from the countryside catch his eye?
Cui Zixuan had never been looked at by anyone like this before. Many people in the town knew him, so the commotion had a bad impact on him, so he quickly left in despair.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Shen Yunxi to think about it again.
As soon as Cui Zixuan left, Mu Chenglin came over.
Shen Yunxi seriously suspected that this guy should have arrived a long time ago. When he saw that he was talking to Cui Zixuan, he deliberately did not come forward.
She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how.
She didn't do anything wrong, and she and Mu Chenglin were just a couple in name only.
"I spent all my money on sugar. I bought ten kilograms of sugar in total." Mu Chenglin spoke first.
"So much?" Today I only made one pound of sugar, but now I bought ten pounds of sugar.
"Do you think your recipe is very advanced?"
As soon as Mu Chenglin reminded him, Shen Yunxi knew his intention.
This recipe for candied haws on a stick is super simple. After today’s success, some people will definitely pay attention to this recipe and imitate it.
Fresh food is very attractive when it first appears, but when everyone follows suit and the market reaches saturation, they won’t be able to sell much!
The news of Shen Yunxi selling candied haws in town soon spread to the Shen family.
Chen Yunxi's stepmother Liu didn't believe it, "Mu Chenglin accompanied her to sell candied haws on a stick? What is a candied haws on a stick?"
Mrs. Shen squinted her eyes. Although her inverted triangular eyes were not big, their eyes were extremely sharp.
She had always been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, who was too far behind the Su family, and even brought a bottle of oil.
"I don't know, I heard that children love to eat! But for the second child's family, didn't you say that Mu Chenglin would send Yunxi girl back?" the old lady said, staring at Mrs. Liu.
When Mu Chenglin proposed to marry Shen Pingping, Mrs. Shen did not agree, because Shen Pingping was brought here by the Liu family. The Shen family has raised her for so many years, so they must receive some reward. Mu Chenglin is just a hunter from a foreign country, how can he have money?
But Mu Chenglin really took out one hundred and twenty taels. Even if the Shen family was very wealthy, one hundred and twenty taels was still a lot of money. The old lady was very satisfied, but Mrs. Liu, her mother-in-law, disagreed!
She has long been eyeing Shen Yunxi's marriage and has been thinking of ways to get Shen Pingping to marry Cui Zixuan instead of Shen Yunxi.
Finally, Ms. Liu came up with a way to let Shen Yunxi marry her instead!
In this way, the old lady can not only get these one hundred and twenty taels, but also get rid of Shen Yunxi, an eyesore!
Chapter completed!
