Liang Youxiao was stunned, this guy was so courageous.

He asked: “Are you going to whip him too?”

Xi Rui: “……”

He said angrily: “What do you think? How dare I do that?”

He added: “I decided to run away from home. When my grandmother comes back from offering incense in the temple, she will know that I have been beaten by him and run away from home. He will taste his own medicine by then. Hmph.”

Liang Youxiao: “……”

I have learned a lot.

He touched his chin: “Then I will run away from home with you.”

He has made the old lady and his mother very happy recently. It was his father who forced him to run away from home this time.

He’ll see how his father faces the old lady. Hmph.

Xi Rui smiled and hugged him: “As expected of brothers, let’s run away together!”

So Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui immediately went back to pack their things and ran away from home while their fathers had gone to the Yamen.

As they were about to leave the capital, the two met another famous female devil in the capital.

She learned that they would run away from home and find the person who came up with something as fun as a skateboard.

So she joined the team of people running away from home without hesitation, which gave both Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao a headache.

*

On the other side, Xiaxi Village.

In the meantime, Shi Qingluo didn’t know that Xi Rui and others had run away from home and wanted to seek refuge with them.

At this time, she was talking to Bai Xu in the yard, who had just returned to the county town.

This time, Bai Xu brought back a batch of suet and several carts of wool.

Bai Xu took credit: “I spent a lot of effort to get these things back.”

Shi Qingluo was in a good mood: “Yes, thank you for your hard work!”

Bai Xu: “……”

Why does it sound so perfunctory?

“What do you want to use these things for?”

They used to throw away these things.

Shi Qingluo blinked her eyes at him: “Of course, it is of great use.”

“You will know when the time comes.”

Bai Xu has black lines on his head. Time and time again, this woman suspended his excitement.

“If you come up with something new and good, don’t forget about me!”

He already knew that a bastard had come to the capital and cut off his skateboard business.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “Okay, I’ll give you a batch when the tinkering comes out.”

Bai Xu smiled and said: “That’s good.”

He then asked: “Can you give me some of those skateboards and scooters too?”

He passed through the capital before and found that skateboards and scooters were very popular.

He asked someone to buy a scooter at a high price for study. When he saw the word “Nanxi” on the scooter, he knew that it must have been done by Shi Qingluo.

Then he heard that a very innovative gambling house had also opened in the capital, where they played mahjong and cards.

He also went to play and found that it was full of people and there was no vacant place at all.

When he found out that the person who opened the gambling house and the one who sold scooters were the same, he thought of Shi Qingluo again.

It seems that only this woman can come up with such novel things.

He regretted it at that time and missed something great when he left Nanxi County.

Shi Qinglou shook her head and said: “If you want to play, I can give you two to play with, but you can’t sell them.”

“And I didn’t make it here, I left it all to Liang Youxiao.”

She doesn’t have that much energy to open another workshop.

Seeing the disappointment on Bai Xu’s face, she reminded: “It’s a good thing that you want to expand your business, but it’s better to take a steady step. If you take too big steps, you may sprain your feet.”

“There are some things that Liang Youxiao could do in the capital, but if it is your Bai family, you might be swallowed by someone in a short time.”

Skateboards were so easy to imitate. As soon as the Bai Family sells them, within ten days someone will follow suit and grab business.

If they encounter someone with bad intentions, their Bai Family could completely be driven away from the capital.

This was just a skateboard. If they open a gambling house, the Bai family will not end up good.

Bai Xu was not a fool. He also thought of this after hearing Shi Qingluo’s reminder.
Although he has a fourth-rank official uncle, compared with the young masters of the Duke’s Mansion, he is not good enough.

“Okay, if there is anything good in the future, you have to take care of me.”

He added, “I will continue to collect sheep oil and wool for you.”

It was these words that Shi Qingluo was waiting for: “No problem.”

After sending Bai Xu away, Shi Qingluo took the mutton oil and made soap first.

She took the wool and went to find Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili.

She gave the wool to them to try knitting.

When Shi Qinglou was in college, knitting woolen scarves was popular in the dormitory.

She was also asked to knit and even learned from online videos.

But she can only knit scarves and has never knitted anything else.

So she first taught Mrs. Kong and Xiao Baili to knit scarves.

“Mom, little sister, try knitting clothes with this wool.”

Although she had never knitted clothes, she had watched the video and told the two of them what she knew.

“You can also knit woolen pants and socks.”

Mrs. Kong was very skillful in this regard. She smiled and said, “No problem, just leave it to us.”

Xiao Baili was very interested in knitting clothes and touched the scarf knitted by her sister-in-law.

She smiled and said: “The clothes knitted from this wool are very warm.”

Shi Qingluo nodded, “Yes, wearing sweaters and woolen pants is very warm in winter.”

“Now you can knit this for fun. I will go to the dyeing workshop in the county tomorrow and have some colored wool dyed. The knitted sweater will look much better.”

Mrs. Kong said: “Then let’s make some more when you dye it.”

Since taking someone to make mosquito coils and recently taking over making toffee, Mrs. Kong has become more confident and more efficient in doing things under Shi Qingluo’s subtle influence.

Shi Qingluo nodded: “Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”

Time flies and the day for Shi Laosi to get married comes.

They have temporarily united with the Shi Family, so a niece, Shi Qingluo, and Xiao Hanzheng also went to the Shi Family that day.

The Shi Family had the leverage and were reluctant to spend money, so Shi Qinglou came up with an idea. Shi Laosi borrowed an ox cart and took the villagers to the Wu Family to pick up the bride.

The people of the Wu Family were very angry.

If they just give our daughter away like this, where will their Wu family’s face be?

They can only swallow their anger and exchange the ox cart for the Wu family’s carriage.

This matter delayed the auspicious time and made the Wu Family be laughed at by many people.

Wu Xixi didn’t want to marry, but the headmaster of the Wu family only said that if she was not happy, then he would give her and her mother a piece of white silk.

Wu Xixi didn’t want to die, so she had no choice but to admit it.

Hearing this, Shi Laosi, who borrowed a bullock cart to pick up the bride, was so angry that he wanted to run away from the wedding.

But then, he was persuaded by the “maid” beside him, who was very charming even though she deliberately concealed her appearance.

Only then did he reluctantly get on the carriage.

After arriving in the village and paying homage, Wu Xixi was sent to the bridal chamber.

She waited there till the banquet was almost finished.

The maid whispered: “Miss, I’ll go out and bring you some food.”

Wu Xixi was very jealous of this maid’s beauty, but the headmaster of the Wu Family had warned him to listen to this disgusting woman when she entered the Shi family.

She waved her hand impatiently, “Go ahead.”

The maid smiled slightly, opened the door, and walked out.

Soon, a middle-aged man appeared next to her: “Xiao Hanzheng is going back alone. Go to the door and pretend to help Miss Wu get something for a chance encounter.”

At this time, Shi Qinglou had already been taken away from the workshop by his people in advance.

The woman gave him a reassuring look: “Okay!”
