More importantly, after this deal, they could be considered friends.

There might be more “cooperation opportunities” like this in the future.

A trace of understanding flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.

“Hehe! We’ll take care of each other,” she responded.

Shopkeeper Pan was very pleased with Qin Xiaoyao’s answer, so he asked Deputy Shopkeeper Wei to personally send Qin Xiaoyao and the others off.

“No need to send us any further,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a smile when they reached the door.

Then, she left with the Qin family’s father and sons trio.

Deputy Shopkeeper Wei turned around and looked at Shopkeeper Pan.

Shopkeeper Pan waved his hand and didn’t ask him to go after Qin Xiaoyao. Instead, he told Deputy Shopkeeper Wei to come back.

“This Madam Qin is not as simple as she appears…” he said.

Deputy Shopkeeper Wei nodded and did not answer.

“In the future, when Madam Qin comes again, you must receive her well.”

“You’re quite lucky, kid!” Shopkeeper Pan gave Deputy Shopkeeper Wei an appreciative look.

“Hehe! Yes!” Deputy Shopkeeper Wei scratched his head in embarrassment and had a goofy grin on his face, which put Shopkeeper Pan in a good mood.

After a while, Shopkeeper Pan’s smile disappeared.

“As for the grains outside… Based on our previous agreement, I’ll give you 1500 catties, and I’ll get someone to haul away the rest.”

“Yes! I’ll follow what you say, Shopkeeper Pan!” Deputy Shopkeeper Wei quickly replied.

Shopkeeper Pan glanced at Deputy Shopkeeper Wei with a smile and then left the shop after instructing someone to follow up with the arrangements.

Deputy Shopkeeper Wei hurriedly followed him in a fawning manner.

After the guards started to move the goods, he also went to the backyard to get a handcart.

Deputy Shopkeeper Wei was prepared to move his share to the backyard of the grain store.

When Shopkeeper Pan saw this, he immediately frowned.

He simply issued another instruction, telling Deputy Shopkeeper Wei that he would get the guards to make another trip later to help Deputy Shopkeeper Wei bring his share back home.

Deputy Shopkeeper Wei quickly thanked him.

Not only did he thank Shopkeeper Pan, but he also thanked the guards in turn, and gave each of them some copper coins.

The guards felt that this person was quite honorable and were willing to help.

When Shopkeeper Pan saw Deputy Shopkeeper Wei’s actions, he felt increasingly more certain that Deputy Shopkeeper Wei was a man of great potential.

He thought of recruiting and nurturing him again.

As for Deputy Shopkeeper Wei, he felt very sweet in his heart at this moment.

Although out of a total of 4400 catties of grain, he only got 1500 catties in the end, which was not even half, he was still very glad that he was smart enough to look for his shopkeeper in time.

In this situation tonight, if the shopkeeper wasn’t here, he wasn’t sure he would be able to trade with Madam Qin so smoothly.

After all, the three men that Madam Qin brought didn’t seem to be easy to deal with.

On his side, he couldn’t even summon a single strong, muscular person.

Moreover, even if he successfully traded the goods with Madam Qin, he wouldn’t be able to transport the food home tonight without help.

And it wasn’t very appropriate to leave it in the shop with so many people around.

So, this final outcome was good.

There was someone to help manage the overall situation and render support while he also stood to gain some benefits.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyao left the main street swiftly with the father and sons trio.

After making sure that no one was following them, they quickly entered the alley.

For the rest of the journey, none of them spoke a word. They traveled at full speed until they reached the Song family’s residence.

The four of them heaved a sigh of relief only when they entered the courtyard.

Things were going much smoother than they had expected.

The goods were delivered and the money was collected. Everything was finally settled.

Qin Xiaoyao felt touched by the reaction of her father and brothers.

She invited the three of them to the hall to chat, but Qin Dazhuang refused.

“It’s too late. If you have anything to say, you can say it tomorrow. We’ll go back first.”

“Mm-hmm! Anyway, we’re coming here tomorrow to build the sheds,” Qin Dahu added.

Qin Erhu nodded in agreement.

They had been working hard for more than two hours under very tense and stressful conditions, so they were indeed a little tired.

Qin Xiaoyao thought for a while and didn’t compel them.

She took out five taels of silver from the money box.

Then, she handed it to Qin Dazhuang. “Take this back.”

How could Qin Dazhuang accept it? He immediately rejected the money.

However, Qin Xiaoyao insisted on giving it to him.

“Just take it if I tell you.

“Tonight’s matter was not easy to handle.

“Moreover, this silver is not only for you. Big Brother and Second Brother also have a share. As for the specific distribution, you guys can do as you see fit!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Dazhuang looked at his two sons.

After hesitating for a moment, he accepted the silver.

“You little lass. You’re too honest,” he chided Qin Xiaoyao.

He was her father, and Dahu and Erhu were her two brothers. It was only right for them to help her.

Yet, she kept thinking about compensating them and giving them money.

However, the Qin family was indeed in a difficult situation.

In that case, he would just accept it and take it as a token of his daughter’s filial piety.

“Hehe! That’s because I take after you!” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

After chatting and laughing with the three of them for a while, she sent them off.

Qin Xiaoyao only closed the courtyard door and locked it after they had walked far away.

Just as she was about to return to her room, she saw Song Que coming out to look for her.

“Hubby…” Qin Xiaoyao called out. She deliberately kept her voice low, afraid that she might wake up those who had already fallen asleep.

She had already informed her family about what she was going to do that night.

She even specially instructed everyone to go to bed early and not to come out even if they heard any movement.

She wondered if everyone had fallen asleep.

Song Que looked behind Qin Xiaoyao and saw that she was alone under the moonlight.

After taking two steps forward, he straightaway pulled her into his arms.

Qin Xiaoyao was a little bewildered.

As she lay there feeling the man’s light embrace and smelling the pleasant scent on his body, Qin Xiaoyao squinted her eyes in happy contentment.

She had wanted to reassure her husband that she was fine, and then follow up with some words of comfort.

In the end, after thinking it through, she didn’t say anything.

The current atmosphere was quite nice, and she wanted to enjoy it a little longer.

Song Que did not know what was wrong with him at this moment.

Ever since Qin Xiaoyao came back after the first trip and told him that the other party had a lot of people and even engaged guards, he had been very worried.

When he heard the commotion in the courtyard, he tidied himself up simply and came out.

Thankfully, the woman had returned safely.

After a while, Song Que finally calmed down and let go of the woman who was smiling sweetly.

“Father and both Brothers-in-law have left?” Song Que asked awkwardly.

They have probably left.

After all, he did not see anyone else.

At this moment, Song Que became a little worried that someone had seen him lose his composure.

“They have left,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

“They said it was late at night, so they didn’t want to stay any longer.”

As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao reached out and grabbed Song Que’s wrist. Then she led him back to the room.

“Don’t stand here. Let’s go back to the room,” she said as she walked.

Song Que went along with her wishes.

Qin Xiaoyao closed the door after she returned to her room.

Then, she passed the money box to Song Que.

“This is the remaining money. In addition, I took out five taels of silver to give to Father and my brothers.”

Song Que nodded and had no objections.

Qin Xiaoyao was pleased when she saw his reaction.

Then, she plonked her butt down beside her husband.

“We’ve made a lot of money tonight…” she said happily.

Song Que’s eyes finally showed a hint of a smile.

“Mm-hmm,” he responded..
