Zhuang Yuanzhong rushed from the root of the window to the middle of the courtyard, beating his chest and panting heavily.

What did he just hear? His own father was gleefully trying to push his sister into… to be precise, onto the path of death?

Most importantly, if Zhuang Qinghe could be discarded for money today, wouldn’t he also be disposable for money in the future?

What did they count for then?

A shudder ran through Zhuang Yuanzhong, draining all the color from his face. He entered the kitchen in a daze, seeing Mrs. Song washing dishes. His lips moved, but no words came out.

“What’s the matter with you? You look so pale.” Mrs. Song noticed Zhuang Yuanzhong’s paper-white face. She hastily wiped off her hands and reached to touch Zhuang Yuanzhong’s forehead, “You don’t seem to have a fever, what’s wrong with you?”

“No, nothing.” Zhuang Yuanzhong shook his head like a rattle drum. After steadying his emotions, he sat on a small bench and asked, “Mother, might there be something wrong with my sister’s marriage?”

“Child, what nonsense are you spouting? Your sister’s marriage couldn’t be better, there is nothing wrong with it.” Mrs. Song cut Zhuang Yuanzhong off.

“What if, I mean if, the Kong family doesn’t have good intentions?”

“How could they not have good intentions?” Mrs. Song looked lost, “Your father has already said that this is a perfect match, there cannot possibly be any mistake.”

“Further, the Kong family is so well-off, a single hair from their body is thicker than our waists. What would they want from us? It’s simply that our family is fortunate to be related by marriage to such a good family.”

“Let me tell you, don’t utter such bad luck words. It’s our ancestral fortune that got us this blessing. Countless people envy us, their eyes green with jealousy just like rabbits. Let those who used to look down upon us all regret it now!”

Zhuang Yuanzhong bit his lower lip.

As expected, this matter couldn’t be discussed with Mrs. Song.

Mrs. Song had less sense than even this child. Talking about it with her was pointless.

At this point, he needed to find someone else.

Zhuang Yuanzhong hung his head, almost snapping half of his fingernail off.

The weather was hot, and mosquitoes rampant. The mosquito repellent herbal bags were hugely popular, as were the mosquito repellent sachets and pillows.

“Miss Qingning, I’m afraid we need to increase our production by 20%, and stock up on inventory in advance.”

Zhuang Yutian laughed, “In these past days, the demand in the city has been increasing. It seems selling herbal bags might become the main business of our cloth shop. People are even joking that our cloth shop should change its name.”

“However, because of our successful herbal bag business, there have been several herbal shops looking to make deals with us. One of them is the Cheng family’s herbal shop. They want to sell us calamus and mugwort leaves. I haven’t agreed yet, but I also haven’t completely rejected their offer, only mentioning we’d discuss it if we needed it.”

“Miss Qingning, do we have enough supply of the herbs?”
