“If you want to eat it, just cook it yourself. Why spend the money?” Zhao Xiu asked curiously.

“Mother, Little Huzi usually helps us do a lot of things. What’s wrong with us taking care of their family’s business? Besides, making mashed sweet potatoes takes time. Which of us has the time to make mashed sweet potatoes?! We can buy some to try and satisfy our cravings. We can also deepen our friends.h.i.+p with them. With reciprocation, the friends.h.i.+p will deepen!” Li Xiaoran explained.

When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she smiled and nodded.

“This girl is right. This is how relations.h.i.+ps work! After all, you guys live in the village, so you have to befriend a few good families. This way, if anything happens in the future, someone can speak up for you!”

Zhao Xiu was stunned when she heard Old Madam Jin’s words.

“Think about it. If something happens in the future, if no one in the village seeks justice for you and no one speaks up for you, it will be difficult for you to do anything. The importance of social interaction shows itself at those moments and reduces your troubles. Friends make your lives easier!” Old Madam Jin guided Zhao Xiu when she saw that she was contemplating her words.

Zhao Xiu finally understood and nodded. “Thank you for your guidance, Old Madam! In the past, when I was in my maiden family, I was well protected by my family and didn’t know the ways of the world. Later, after I got married, I had to do ch.o.r.es all day long and didn’t interact much with others, so I didn’t know much about these things. It seems that I have to learn more from you guys in the future!”

“You’re a perceptive person. It’s just that you’ve experienced it too little! Take your time in the future. When you’ve experienced things more often, you’ll understand!” Seeing that Zhao Xiu listened to her advice, Old Madam Jin became more talkative.

Seeing that her mother had figured it out, Li Xiaoran took out money from her pocket and gave it to Li Xiaoqing to buy some mashed sweet potatoes.

Since it was to satisfy their cravings, everyone had a share.

When Li Xiaoqing brought a basket over with a pile of mashed sweet potatoss, everyone had a piece.

Even the customers who were eating in the shop were given a piece by Li Xiaoran to try.

It had to be said that Little Huzi’s family’s mashed sweet potatoes were really good.

The ingredients were ample enough, so the mashed sweet potatoes tasted especially delicious.

The people who had given Li Xiaoran mashed sweet potatoes felt that it was delicious and even asked Li Xiaoran where they had bought it. They also planned to buy some to take with them to eat on the way.

Just like that, Li Xiaoran unintentionally helped Little Huzi’s family get another wave of business.

When these customers went to Little Huzi’s stall to buy mashed sweet potatoes, they also mentioned that Li Xiaoran gave them mashed sweet potatoes to try.

Only then did Little Huzi’s family understand why so many customers suddenly appeared. They secretly remembered Li Xiaoran’s family’s kindness.

After eating mashed sweet potatoes, a group of merchants arrived at the official road, so the shops became busy.

Old Madam Jin couldn’t help much and staying here would only cause trouble, so she simply planned to return to her house.

While Li Xiaoran was busying, when she saw that Old Madam Jin was about to leave, she thought for a moment and said, “Old Madam Jin, you can go to the courtyard to drink tea. Wait for me there! When the snails are here, I’ll wash them and make a pot of snail soup. You have nothing to do when you go back anyway, so why don’t you stay here and talk to me?! This way, I won’t feel tired even when I’m busy!”

When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, a smile appeared on her face.

“Sure! Then I’ll go sit in the back. I don’t need tea or anything. I can help you guys!”

“Alright, just sit there and help us pay attention to the situation in the shop outside. You might even be able to help us see who comes to cause trouble in the shop. Last time, someone placed rat feces in the food we made for him when we weren’t paying attention and tried to blackmail us!” Li Xiaoran recalled what had happened previously and said angrily.

When Old Madam Jin heard this, she knew that there must be a reason.

Of course, it couldn’t be denied that there were people who would do this for personal benefit.

“Alright, although I’m old, my eyes are very sharp. It just so happens that I can see the situation in the two shops through the window and door. No one can escape my sharp eyes! ”

Seeing that Old Madam Jin had agreed, Li Xiaoran smiled and nodded. Then, she came over and helped Old Madam Jin to sit in the courtyard at the back.

There were tables, chairs, and tea in the corner of the courtyard. Changsheng was sitting there practicing writing. When he saw Li Xiaoran helping an old lady over, ne quickly set up tne stool and poured tea.

“Have some tea!”

As soon as Old Madam Jin sat down, she saw Changsheng bringing tea over.

“Whose child is this?! He looks so smart and sensible!” With that, Old Madam Jin took the tea and took a sip.

“Thank you! Little fellow, I happened to be feeling a little thirsty!”

Seeing that the two of them started chatting as soon as they met, Li Xiaoran smiled.

“Granny Jin, this is the child I adopted. His name is Changsheng. He had a hard time in the past and his health was poor, so I’m letting him recuperate first and learn how to read and write. There’s no one at home, so I could only bring him to the shop to take care of him!”

With that, Li Xiaoran looked at Changsheng and guided, “Changsheng, call her Grandma Jin!”

“h.e.l.lo, Grandma Jin! My name is Changsheng. If you need anything, tell me! I’m going to continue writing now! Brother Ziyang said I have to write these five words on a piece of paper today!” Changsheng said politely.

“You’re such a good child! It’s good to study hard. Only then can you become successful in the future! Go and do your thing!” Old Madam Jin said happily.

Changsheng nodded and went to his desk again to practice writing.

Li Shun had specifically made this desk for Changsheng with wooden boards.

Although it was a little crude, it was enough for Changsheng.

After Li Xiaoran settled Old Madam Jin down, she continued to work in the shop.

When Little Huzi brought his buddy, Huang Yong, over with a bucket of snails, the shop happened to send off a wave of customers.

“Sister Ran, Sister Ran, the things you wanted are here!” Little Huzi shouted from afar.

When Li Xiaoran heard Little Huzi’s voice, she walked out.

“Come, bring it in and put it in the courtyard at the back. I’ll go get it weighed!” Little Huzi and Huang Yong carried a bucket of snails to the courtyard.

When Old Madam Jin saw these black things, she walked out curiously.

Li Xiaoran weighed it. There were six catties of snails here, so she gave Little Huzi twelve copper coins.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaohu waved his hand and didn’t take it..
