It was Wang Shi and Wang Gui.
Originally, Wang Shi and Wang Gui thought that since Li Shuan didn't have a single tael of silver in his hands, even if he left their house, he would probably come back dejectedly within a few days. However, they didn't expect Li Shuan to be so stubborn and not come back after he left.
Moreover, because Li Shuan's courtyard was quite far from their house, Wang Gui and Wang Shi did not hear much news about Li Shuan. They muttered in their hearts that Li Shuan might have died outside, so they did not continue to pay attention to him.
Because of this, when Wang Shi's brother came to ask about Jiujiu, they directly said that Jiujiu was dead.
Yesterday, Wang Shi's brother came to their house and scolded Wang Shi. He said that if Wang Shi didn't want to be the matchmaker, she should just say so. There was no need to lie to them.
Wang Shi was still hoping to get money from her brother to buy the test papers so that her son could pass the exam. She was a little stunned when her brother suddenly scolded her. When she came back to her senses, she began to ask her brother about Jiujiu. When she heard her brother say that Jiujiu was selling tofu in the downtown area, she directly brought her husband over to see if the person was Jiujiu.
They hadn't seen each other for a year, so Jiujiu's appearance was naturally more mature than before. Especially her small face, after the baby fat had spread out, she was even more beautiful. Not to mention her slim figure and white jade-like skin. People would believe that she was the daughter of a wealthy family. Therefore, Wang Shi and Wang Gui didn't dare to recognize her at first.
Because they didn't dare to, they had been looking for her since the morning. After asking a passerby, they confirmed that the person behind the stall selling tofu pudding was indeed Jiujiu.
After confirming that it was Jiujiu, Wang Shi and Wang Gui immediately walked over. They looked at Jiujiu with a worried expression and said, "Xiang 'er."
Suddenly hearing such a familiar voice, Jiujiu only felt her eyelids twitch. She looked up and saw Wang Shi and Wang Shi.
Seeing Jiujiu up close, Wang Shi realized that Jiujiu looked even prettier than before. Especially her big eyes, they were like a pool of clear water that could reflect her own reflection.
However, things could not be hidden if they were too clear. Therefore, when she saw herself in Jiujiu's eyes, Wang Shi had an inexplicable feeling that she had been seen through by Jiujiu.
Wang shi swallowed her saliva and swallowed the uneasiness in her heart. Then, she pursed her lips and looked at Jiujiu before saying, "I didn't expect it to really be you, Xiang 'er."
Jiujiu looked at Mrs. Wang and Wang Gui and said with a fake smile, "Uncle, Aunt, why are you here?"
By calling them uncle and aunt, Jiujiu admitted that she was Lianxiang.
Seeing Jiujiu admit it, Mrs. Wang looked at the surrounding environment. The expression on her face changed and immediately became sympathetic. She reached out to hold Jiujiu's hand, but Jiujiu directly avoided her. Mrs. Wang's eyes turned red. She looked at Jiujiu and said, "My poor Xiang 'er, your father has the heart to let you sell tofu."
When Mrs. Wang reached out to pull Jiujiu, Jiujiu felt a little strange. When she heard Mrs. Wang say that Li Shuan had the heart to let her sell tofu, Jiujiu was startled. After figuring out why Mrs. Wang's eyes were red and what she meant, she pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile.
Mrs. Wang thought that Li Shuan had no money and wanted her to sell tofu to make a living.
Putting aside the fact that Li Shuan would never do such a thing, the tofu business itself was a small business with a small profit margin. Basically, the tofu business was made by their own family and sold by their own family. There was no way they would hire someone to sell tofu.
Mrs. Wang thought that Jiujiu would definitely complain when she said this, but she didn't expect Jiujiu to laugh. Mrs. Wang thought about it in her heart. When Li Shuan left, he had not recovered from his injuries. He didn't have the ability to support Jiujiu and Lianshi at all. Moreover, Lianshi was young and couldn't come out to make money. Therefore, the person who was ordered must be Jiujiu.
After Mrs. Wang's words went back and forth in her mouth a few times, she tentatively asked, "Xiang 'er, don't worry. Aunt will definitely help you."
Hearing that Mrs. Wang would help her, Jiujiu directly curled up the corners of her mouth.
Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at the signboard next to her. She looked at Mrs. Wang and asked, "Aunt, can you read?"
Mrs. Wang was feeling sorry for Jiujiu and was saying that she would help her. When she suddenly heard Jiujiu ask her if she could read, she was startled and nodded hesitantly.
Mrs. Wang's family was famous for being calculative. When she found a teacher for her younger brother, her father felt that it was a waste to only teach one child, so he let her learn for a few days.
Although Mrs. Wang, who was more advanced, didn't know much, she could read most of the words.
When Mrs. Wang said that she could read, Jiujiu's smile deepened. Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at the signboard she had asked someone to write. She asked Mrs. Wang, "Aunt, please take a look at what is written on this signboard."
Mrs. Wang tilted her head and looked. When she saw the first two words, she was instantly stunned. It said, "Li's Tofu."
Li, which Li? It was the same Li as Li Shuan.
Mrs. Wang's lips trembled. She asked tentatively, "Is this yours?"
Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Jiujiu smiled and said, "Aunt, your words are strange. I am standing here. How can it not be mine?"
Mrs. Wang didn't expect that it was really Jiujiu's. Her confident expression suddenly showed a moment of hesitation. She turned her head and exchanged a look with Wang Gui. She asked doubtfully, "Are you and your father selling tofu for others?"
Even if she had made it clear, Mrs. Wang and Wang Gui still didn't want to admit that this stall was theirs. Jiujiu was speechless.
Jiujiu was too lazy to argue with Mrs. Wang. She said directly, "Aunt, you must be joking. This is our stall. It has nothing to do with others."
Hearing Jiujiu admit that it was hers, Mrs. Wang's face turned pale. Before she could say anything, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Is this your bowl?"
The voice was deep and cold. Mrs. Wang and Wang Gui couldn't help but tremble. When they turned around and saw who was standing behind them, Wang Gui and Mrs. Wang were so scared that they almost jumped up.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Gui, who wanted to continue asking Jiujiu, quickly left after seeing Wang Yue as if there was a wolf chasing after their butts.
Looking at Mrs. Wang and Wang Gui's cowardice, Jiujiu sneered. Then she looked at the bowls handed to her by Wang Yue.
The bowls in their stall were specially made by Jiujiu. Although they were all white porcelain bowls, there was a small plum blossom in the corner. Jiujiu picked up the bowls and looked at them. After seeing that there were five bowls, she asked with a smile, "Is this the eldest brother of the Wang Family?"
Five bowls. It was the number of tofu puddings she had given to Aunt Wang. Everyone in the Wang Family had come to buy tofu puddings from her. So this bowl could only be Wang Yue, whom she had never met.
