Bai Banxia made an appointment with her aunt in advance. The two of them arrived at the cloth shop one after another. Cheng, the owner of the cloth shop, signed for the newly patched hair and said with some worry: "I'm afraid it won't sell as well as before.
, someone outside has imitated it, and the price is cheap.”
"It's okay. If there are few people buying, we will sell them slowly. We will have new models when we go to the market next time." Bai Banxia said.
"With the new model coming out, will the old model be harder to sell?" Cheng Zhuan asked again.
Bai Banxia thought about it and said: "We'll see when the time comes. When the next new model comes online, the current old model can be put on sale."
You definitely can’t discount old models as soon as new ones come out, otherwise wouldn’t customers be waiting for you to come out with new ones? So there should be an interval in between.
"Okay, you can tell me in advance what we are going to do then." Cheng Qiao had a good attitude.
Bai Banxia divided the flower heads, explained the selling price, paid the payment, and then took her aunt's arm and left.
"Don't settle the money with me this time. We'll pay you some interest first," Niu said.
Bai Banxia was not happy when she heard this, "Is it still calculated as interest if my family borrows money? Auntie, if you insist on doing this, then I will have no shame in going to my grandma's house again."
She counted out the cents and handed them to Niu, "You will get points for the cents you deserve. Pay back the money slowly, one yard at a time."
"Okay, okay, okay, don't go to your grandma's house. Your grandma and grandpa have to be in a hurry with me," said Niu.
They both laughed. Mrs. Niu said she was going to the Yamen to visit her third cousin. Bai Banxia thought about it and said she wouldn't go. She had to go to Zhou's house for a follow-up visit with the old man.
Bai Banxia really wanted to sue her third cousin, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.
When she went to the Zhou Mansion and gave the old man a follow-up visit, she found that his condition had improved a bit.
"It seems that you are very self-disciplined, not bad." Bai Banxia praised sincerely.
Many patients find it difficult to follow the doctor's instructions, diet, and emotions, so obedient patients are extremely rare.
"It's necessary, my little girl is staring at me every day." Mr. Zhou said with a smile.
Seeing that he is in a good mood, this will also help his recovery.
While talking, Zhou Mei ran over and found that Xiaocao was not there, her little face drooped.
"Sister, why didn't you bring Xiaocao?" Zhou Mei looked at Bai Banxia pitifully, which made Bai Banxia feel a little embarrassed.
"There are many people going to the market today and there are many things to do. I will bring Xiaocao to play with you next time," Bai Banxia said.
"Okay." Zhou Mei said weakly.
Mr. Zhou was afraid that she would pester Bai Banxia, so he shouted that she was playing games with him, and then asked Zhou Yang to take Bai Banxia to see the girl he had rescued before.
"Miss Bai, my brother said that the case has been completed and Kong Chao has been sent to the government office." Zhou Yang led her out and said.
Bai Banxia nodded, it would be better to send it out as soon as possible, lest Mr. Zhou finds out things that cannot be dealt with.
"Did Master Zhou say what to do with those children?" she asked.
"A few days ago, I sent people to communicate with their families. One of the two families promised not to sell their children anymore. The other two families were really in trouble and couldn't afford to raise their children when they returned home. My brother left one of them for Mei'er to be a maid.
, the other one was sent to someone else’s house to be a maid.”
Zhou Yang further explained: "They are merchants in the town. They are very honest people and will not treat their children badly."
Bai Banxia nodded, "It's good to have something to eat, it's better than being sent home to starve and freeze."
"The only troublesome thing is the girl. She was abducted, and we can't find out why. She was not bought and sold by her family, and she is not considered a slave. For the time being, she can only be arranged in the house to see if her parents can be found."
Zhou Yang said that he had already lured Bai Banxia to see the girl.
As soon as the girl saw an acquaintance, she smiled and greeted him.
"Sister, sister, didn't you bring Xiaocao?" the girl asked.
"I'll make sure next time, are you used to living there?" Bai Banxia asked softly.
The girl nodded vigorously, "It's very nice here, but I can't remember where my parents are."
Although this child is only a few months younger than Xiaocao, he is already sensible and knows that he cannot stay in other people's homes forever.
Bai Banxia touched her head and comforted her: "Don't worry, take your time. Do you have any belongings or birthmarks on your body?"
The girl shook her head. She had nothing but the clothes on her body.
But the nanny next to me said hurriedly: "When I was taking a bath, I saw a blue birthmark on her back that was half a palm in size. I also said that this child's birthmark is not small."
"Let me take a look." She looked at Zhou Yang again, "Please borrow a pen and paper."
Zhou Yang hurriedly ordered someone to get it, but he also avoided going out.
Bai Banxia helped the girl untie her clothes, and sure enough she saw the birthmark on her back, on her upper right back near her shoulder.
She sketched out the location and shape of the birthmark with a few strokes.
"Put on your clothes quickly and don't catch a cold. This may help you find your parents." Bai Banxia said.
The girl became happy and said, "That's great, thank you sister!"
Bai Banxia encouraged her a few more words, then left the room and handed the painting to Zhou Yang.
"Please give this to Mr. Zhou and put up a notice to look for it. Maybe we can get more clues."
"You're so careful, none of us thought of this method." Zhou Yang praised, looking at her with bright eyes.
He took the drawing paper and put it away, and suddenly asked Bai Banxia: "Has Miss Bai made a marriage arrangement?"
Bai Banxia was stunned. Isn't it strange for the elders to ask about this kind of thing? It was the first time that a man of her age suddenly asked her directly.
"Why are you asking?" She didn't answer directly.
Zhou Yang grinned, scratched his head and said, "I'm not engaged either."
Bai Banxia simply gave him a look and said, "It's none of my business?"
"Ah?" Zhou Yang was dumbfounded. How could the girl who was so polite just now turn her back so quickly?
"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Bai Banxia cupped her hands, made a manly salute, turned around and left.
Zhou Yang hurriedly caught up, "Where are you going? I'll arrange a carriage to take you there."
"No, the market is narrow and it is inconvenient for carriages to pass." Bai Banxia walked out quickly.
"Hey, don't be angry. It's just my father who asked me to be polite to you. He said that if I want to find a wife, I have to look for you like this." Zhou Yang was a little stupid, he was still impatient, and he confessed directly in a hurry.
Bai Banxia stopped and said, "It's okay to make friends with me, but don't worry about the rest."
Zhou Yang hurriedly raised his hands, "Yes, yes, I also think it's good to have a friend like you. I don't want to do anything else."
"That's good. You go about your business while I leave. If you need anything, just come to me at the stall." Bai Banxia's attitude softened and his words were no longer so cold.
After she left, Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "I almost offended someone, why don't you take my skin off? I just said that people don't like me, right?"
Mrs. Zhou came from behind, sighed, and said, "You think about it, don't you feel sorry at all?"
"What are you regretting? Isn't it normal for people to look down on me? Besides, I still have to get a degree, so how can I think about the love between my children?" Zhou Yang looked complacent.
Mrs. Zhou shook her head secretly, that's all, this is really nothing to worry about.
