Shi Lei was still hesitant because he couldn't bear to plot against Song Qian, especially since it was not easy for her, an orphan and a widowed mother, to break into such a world.

Despite Shi's mother's hard work, Shi Lei finally calmed down and agreed: "Then we will do what mother said. If it doesn't work, we won't hurt their mother and son."

Seeing that Shi Lei had agreed, Mother Shi was filled with joy. Before she heard his words clearly, she agreed again and again: "That's natural. You will go to her house tomorrow to help her so that she can feel that you can rely on her. It won't take long for her to be able to

You are dead set."

There are already rumors that Song Qian is a widow, and there are also rumors that she is immoral and entangled with others. To run such a big business with a child alone, it must be difficult behind the scenes. If there is a man you can rely on at this time, you will definitely not be suspicious.

, and will be dead-set.

With wishful thinking, Shi Mu seemed to have seen the money that would be wasted in the future, and couldn't wait to let Song Qian in.

Shi Lei looked out the window at the cloudless and moonless night, and couldn't help but recall the scene of meeting Song Qian in the past. He sighed, no longer thinking about it and adding to his troubles, locked the door and window and fell asleep.

The next day.

Because Song Qian promised Yuan Bao last night that he would make buns for him today, and making the buns was extremely important and took a long time, so he got up earlier than usual to avoid delaying other time.

When the noodles were ready, Song Qian mixed the meat stuffing with pork and green onions, and mixed the vegetarian stuffing with vegetables and eggs. When everything was ready, Song Qian skillfully wrapped the buns and steamed them in the pot.

Yuan Bao was also very sensible. He got up by himself before Song Qian came to call him, and even folded the quilt for Song Qian. This made Song Qian feel happy and loved Yuan Bao even more.

While Yuan Bao was washing up, Song Qian made egg drop soup and side dishes to eat with steamed buns.

Seeing the steamed buns, Yuan Bao took a big bite without caring about burning them, and praised Song Qian without hesitation: "My mother's cooking is so delicious. It is the only delicacy in the world."

Song Qian, who was praised by Yuan Bao's sweet words, almost burst into laughter. After thinking of something, Song Qian stood up and said loudly: "Changfeng, come and have breakfast quickly!"

No one responded.

Song Qian thought her voice was too soft, so she shouted again: "Changfeng, it's time for breakfast."

Still no one responded.

Song Qian got up and went to the courtyard to look around, then looked around on the roof but still couldn't find any trace of Chang Feng.

Before she could say anything, Chang Feng followed the fragrance and found it on its own.

What's wrong now? Not even a human figure can be found.

Song Qian thought about it and suddenly remembered that Ji Changye must have called him back because of something important.

Then she felt relieved and no longer thought about it. She went into the house and had breakfast with Yuan Bao.

At the same time, Changfeng couldn't help complaining when he saw the people coming and going in the courtyard. He had known that Song Qian was going to make steamed buns this morning, and he had been thinking about it all night, not wanting to be recalled by Ji Changye and being assigned the chore of checking things.

Why is his life so miserable!

"Are everything ready?" Ji Changye stepped into the courtyard, and everyone around him listened to what he was doing and saluted to Ji Changye.

Ji Changye waved them to get up, and the courtyard was once again filled with people passing by.

Changfeng also put away his resentment, and with a serious look on his face, he handed the sketched list to Ji Changye and said: "Sir, everything you asked for is available. It's just that some of it is too scarce. What I can find is

There are only a few, not enough for the number you appointed."

Most of the things Ji Changye wanted were very precious and scarce. Even if ordinary people exhausted everything, they would still be rare. This shows how much effort and money Ji Changye spent to find these items.

It's just that Changfeng doesn't understand, what is the use of his master?

Ji Changye handed the paper back to Changfeng with just a few glances. Changfeng had been with him for many years and was already a confidant, so he felt confident in doing things and didn't need to give any more instructions.

"Now that everything is ready, you can give this to Madam Song. If she refuses to accept it, tell her that it is enough money to pay for her desserts, and ask her to make more food and send it to her in the future."

Ji Changye heard earlier that Song Qian wanted to find these objects, so he secretly remembered them in his mind. He secretly spent a lot of money to find them, and waited until they were all ready to be sent to Song Qian.

It's just that Song Qian has a clear distinction between public and private affairs and doesn't like to be greedy for cheap. He has never been jealous of money because of his status. If he gave these things so abruptly, she would definitely be worried and unwilling to accept them, so he found some excuses to give them to her.

It is not convenient to refuse.

Although Ji Changye's expression was calm and his tone was not wavering at all. But after Changfeng learned that what his master did was for Song Qian, he looked ecstatic and accepted the errand one after another.

Ji Changye glanced at him with disgust and sighed secretly. What did Changfeng learn from being around him all these years to be so unstable?

Changfeng didn't care about this, picked up his things and said goodbye to Ji Changye, then left and went straight to Song Qian's home.

After Song Qian and Yuan Bao had breakfast, they were also preparing to go to the dessert shop in the town. Rumors had been spreading in recent days, which had affected the business to some extent. Song Qian had to work harder to attract customers, so as not to ruin his past efforts.

Before leaving, Song Qian wrapped the buns in oil paper and put them into a self-made cloth bag so that he could give them to Chang Feng when he saw him and also make it convenient for him to take them to Ji Changye to try.

"Mom, why don't we sell steamed buns in our shop?" Yuanbao's words made Song Qian chuckle. She locked the door, picked up Yuanbao and explained: "We are a dessert shop. If we sell meat buns, we are not called a dessert shop.

."

Song Qian suddenly stopped walking.

But the buns are not only salty!

She can make salty food such as quicksand buns and hot dog buns, and if paired with sweet drinks, they will definitely sell well!

Song Qian's eyes lit up when she thought of this. She kissed Yuan Bao's soft cheek and said, "Thank you Yuan Bao for giving me the good idea!"

Although Yuan Bao didn't know what he said to make Song Qian so happy, when he heard his mother praising him, he raised his chin and laughed proudly.

Shi Lei, who was walking not far outside the yard, felt even more nervous when he heard the laughter of the mother and son. In this hot summer, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He listened to Shi's mother and waited outside Song Qian's house early in the morning so that he could escort the mother and son to the town in order to gain Song Qian's favor. But in the end he felt guilty and could not bear to deceive Song Qian, and was hesitant to step forward.

Song Qian walked out of the house holding Yuan Bao, and immediately spotted Shi Lei not far away. Yuan Bao had a good impression of Shi Lei, so he waved and called: "Uncle Shi!"

Seeing that Song Qian, mother and son, had discovered him, Shi Lei had no way out and could only walk over, pretending to be calm and said, "I didn't expect to meet you mother and son here."

But this is right at their doorstep!

Song Qian heard the flaw in his words, and saw that his expression was strange and slightly panicked, so she guessed that he had come occasionally: "Brother Shi, why are you here? Just tell me."

Shi Lei once helped her fight off the thieves and get back the money bag. She always remembered this kindness. If Shi Lei really wanted something from her, she would definitely agree as long as it was not too much.

Seeing Song Qian's serious look, Shi Lei had mixed feelings in his heart but still believed Shi Mu's words. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. Madam Song is overthinking. It's just that I hunted some wild animals in the mountains a few days ago. I'm going to go there today."

It was sold in town, and I happened to pass by your door and wanted to drop by. Besides, you orphans and widowed mothers, what will you do if you encounter a thief again? "

What Shi Lei said is not unreasonable. Now that Changfeng is gone, if something happens again, she will not be able to deal with it even if she has the ingot with her.

"Then we'll have to trouble Brother Shi."

"Ms. Song, you're welcome."

The two of them walked together, which also attracted other people in the village to stop and watch.

What Aunt Xu said before she was sent to prison by Song Qian spread to the village, and the chattering people couldn't hold it anymore.

"Hey, isn't this the wife of the second son of the Xu family?"

"The second son of the Xu family died in the battle long ago. Didn't you look at the man next to him? Maybe this is his next family."

"The Xu family is so arrogant when they are still here. They really don't follow the rules of women. They are not afraid of the innocent soul of the second son of the Xu family coming to claim his life."

Song Qian's expression darkened and she covered Yuan Bao's ears.

Shi Lei listened to these gossips and saw Song Qian's appearance, and felt very distressed. Finally he couldn't help but stop and said to the two women: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"

Song Qian stopped and looked at Shi Lei in surprise, not expecting him to defend herself.

The woman had a sharp mouth and was naturally unforgiving. She stood up and said, "You two are still saying that you are innocent? You have maintained yourself to such a level. What despicable things have you done that you can't let others talk about? Bah, if I were Xu

Old lady, I will definitely throw you and that bastard into the river."

Seeing that the two of them were talking too much, Song Qian no longer wanted to swallow her anger, but before she could refute, Shi Lei preempted her: "If I listen to you two's nonsense again, I will!"

Shi Lei was tall and tall, and he had hunted for a living all year round, so he always exuded blood. So when he raised his fist, the two of them were shocked and speechless. They pushed each other into the yard, not daring to provoke Shi Lei.

thunder.

"Brother Shi, thank you for making you laugh."

Hearing Song Qian's words, Shi Lei stumbled over his words, but finally said something: "Mrs. Song, what are you talking about? These women like to spread gossip, don't take it to heart. Not to mention you and me.

A person who is pure and innocent and behaves righteously has nothing to fear from these things.”

Song Qian couldn't help feeling a little emotional after hearing this. It was the first time in this era that she heard someone speak for herself from her own perspective.

"Brother Shi is a sensible person, and I also say something that speaks from the bottom of my heart. This widow or even a woman not only has to endure rumors, but is also misunderstood everywhere, and her freedom is restricted, and we are not allowed to defend ourselves. These are those harmful ideas.

Therefore, if these prejudices can be eliminated one day, women can also make a career. At that time, everyone is equal, and the society will not be prosperous? "

Just like the modern society she lives in, women can also start their own careers and become truly equal and free.

But in this era, it's not easy to change the inherent feudal concepts. Thinking of this, Song Qian couldn't help but sigh, because she couldn't help herself and she felt pity for those women who had the same fate as herself.

They are not as lucky as me to have advanced ideas, so they can only numbly let others manipulate them.

Listening to Song Qian's words, Shi Lei didn't know how to comfort him. Song Qian also realized it later and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Shi, I was rude, let's go."

Shi Lei nodded and followed Song Qian's pace.

The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, and they had a clear view of Changfeng, who was carrying something. He looked at Shi Lei and found out that he was the man who helped Song Qian get back her purse that day, and he immediately became vigilant.

This man is interested in Lady Song, so he must help me protect Lady Song and prevent this man from succeeding.

With this in mind, Changfeng appeared in front of the two of them without any warning, carrying something. Song Qian was surprised to see him holding so many things, and asked hurriedly: "Why did you bring so many things?"

Changfeng did not respond to Song Qian, but rushed between the two of them, forcing them to separate.
