I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

"Mom, mom! I'm back."

Gu Yansui, who was usually steady, ran in in a hurry at this moment, not caring about the large group of customers in the store.

"Cousin? What's going on?" Gu Xiaohua saw that Gu Yansui was running very fast, and even Gu Yantang was left behind, so she ran in anxiously.

Gu Yansui remembered something again and asked secretly, "Where is grandma?"

Although he found something that could prove the relationship between them and his father, he couldn't guarantee it. This matter had to be kept secret from Grandma Gu to prevent the old lady from being too excited or too disappointed, and having extreme mood swings.

"It's only been a day or two since Grandma came here, but she's already become quite close to the old ladies around here. Look, she's out chatting with others."

"What about my mother?"

"My aunt is preparing something in the back."

At this time, Zhao Qiqi also heard Gu Yansui's noisy voice, and hurried out to see what was going on.

"what happened?"

Gu Yansui's excited expression was still brewing on his face, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted.

The leader was the man who came to order milk tea yesterday. He came in with a group of people with an angry look on his face, and each of them held a stick in his hand.

"What do you mean?"

These questions were not asked by Zhao Qiqi and the others, but by the group of people on the opposite side who were obviously here to cause trouble.

Gu Yansui's words were interrupted, and he quickly pulled Gu Yantang to stand in front of Zhao Qiqi and the other young ladies.

Zhao Qiqi turned to Lian Ye and ordered, "Go tell Hu Lan not to come out. No matter what you hear, don't come out. I can handle everything."

Once it comes out, it would be bad if it gets bumped or frightened.

"Who are you?"

"We are from the Lu Mansion. Why are you pretending? I was the one who ordered it yesterday."

"So that's how it is. But I went to the Lu Mansion yesterday, and you weren't there." Zhao Qiqi looked puzzled. "Even if you want to please the Lu Mansion, you have to understand clearly first. There is only one young master at home in the Lu Mansion, and there are no young ladies. They don't hold banquets. Master Lu Sui really can't finish these one thousand cups."

The leader choked and became angry again: "You! So you didn't make milk tea?"

"It's done. You've already paid the deposit, so of course we have to do it."

The man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't mess things up completely. As long as they made the milk tea, he wouldn't have to pay the balance and let them do it for free.

"Then move them all out for me."

Zhao Qiqi made an OK gesture to him, but the man didn’t understand it, but it didn’t matter.

A group of people came out one after another, carrying trays filled with cups of milk tea.

The picture was originally in good condition, but I didn’t expect these people to take the tray away as soon as they took it out. In other words, if these people wanted to carry the milk tea, they could only carry three or four cups at a time, and they might even get dropped.

"Oh, so you brought so many people just to serve milk tea. I thought you were here to cause trouble. Or maybe you are too thoughtful. We really don't have enough staff in our store." Zhao Qiqi watched them carry out cups of milk tea and sneered from behind.

It took half an hour to move the thousand cups of milk tea.

"My mother and I went to see. These people delivered milk tea to the place where the He mother and son lived, and we were scolded." Gu Yantang felt a little gloating. These fools did bad things but didn't hide them.

Zhao Qiqi already understood it in his mind.

"What are you cooking? Didn't you say that Zhao Qiqi had worked in vain? Why did you bring the milk tea here?" He Honglian was furious. She didn't know how He Lianjun taught these idiots.

"Madam...we didn't expect that Zhao Qiqi knew someone from the Lu Mansion. We thought we could just name someone randomly and make them make a wasted trip without getting paid. But we didn't expect there really was a Lu Mansion. So we simply refused to acknowledge it. We got the thousand cups of milk tea, but we haven't paid the rest yet."

"This Zhao Qiqi is also stupid. After our people took away all the milk tea, Zhao Qiqi even forgot to collect the remaining silver! So we ran away immediately."

He Honglian felt a little relieved after hearing this. Although she didn't make Zhao Qiqi suffer, at least she made her pay money.

This milk tea is a rare thing. He Honglian opened a cup and took a sip. She was reluctant to admit... it tasted quite good.

"Ma'am, there is a letter under the cup."

When He Honglian opened it, she was immediately furious and immediately threw the milk tea in her hand directly at the servant.

"idiot!"

The servant was puzzled and asked tremblingly, "Madam, what's wrong?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me why? Didn't you see the menu when you went to buy it? This milk tea is five cents a cup, and you told me you paid a deposit of five taels of silver! Is this a deposit?"

The servant immediately groaned inwardly. He felt so guilty that he didn't even look at the menu.

"Hurry up and throw all these things outside. They make me upset when I see them!"

He Honglian sat down and relaxed for a while before she felt a little better.

She couldn't go on like this. She had almost spent all the money she had gotten from the He family. The Guo family had wanted to cancel the engagement, but she was still holding the engagement letter against them and only managed to exchange it for 1,200 taels of silver.

I have to do something with this money...

Milk Tea Shop

After resolving the matter, Gu Yansui finally had time to tell Zhao Qiqi. He quietly pulled her aside, making sure no one was looking at this side before speaking: "Mom, last time...didn't the county magistrate say that when he woke up, he only had one piece of clothing with the word Gu on it? I finally found one at home."

Gu Yansui handed the clothes to Zhao Qiqi. He was eager to meet his father, but everything depended on what his mother thought.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look first."

The crooked character "Gu" is indeed very distinctive.

"Yan Sui, how about I leave this matter to you?"

"Mom, I..."

Before Gu Yansui could say no, Zhao Qiqi interrupted him, "You are the eldest son in the family, and now your father is engaged to the daughter of the Shangshu Ling, so my fate with him ends here, but your blood relationship with him cannot be severed, so let this matter be left to you, and mother is most relieved."

Gu Yansui looked at Zhao Qiqi in disbelief. Mom... doesn’t want to be with Dad anymore?

...

"You're back so soon?" Zhao Qiqi was a little puzzled. He probably couldn't say anything in such a short time.

Gu Yansui whispered in Zhao Qiqi's ear: "He doesn't want to see us, mother, is it because he has become the county magistrate that he doesn't want to recognize us anymore?"

Zhao Qiqi didn't know either, but she looked at the depressed Gu Yansui and could only comfort him, "He must be busy with something. He is the county magistrate and must be very busy. You can take your third aunt and the others back today. Things are stable here. I promise you that I will go for this matter, okay?"

The shop has resumed normal operation and does not need so many people, but the soap factory still needs people to look after it, so Zhao Qiqi asked them to go back first.
