Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1662: Chapter 1642:

Old Lady An most adored her second daughter, because she felt she was blessed and the prettiest.

Even though she had three daughters, she still believed daughters were unfortunate.

Even though An Zilan was the elder daughter with both son and daughter, in Old Lady An’s eyes, she was seen as distant. Being together for a long time made her feel unimpressionable, leading to various criticisms.

Compared to An Zilan, the youngest daughter was always kept by her side, thus more intimate.

Although Old Lady An knew it was unfair, he couldn’t say anything, as sometimes he also felt it was unfair. Even though he understood, he lacked capability. However, he always felt bad when losing face in front of the grandchildren.

So, the once-proud Luo Shufan and Luo Qianqian now seemed somewhat displeasing.

Initially, he felt both children were good, smart, sensible, generous, and proper. Now looking back, sensible? Where were they sensible?

Even with food and clothing needs met and entertainment available, they rarely came to see them now, and An Hao hardly appeared either. Of the three grandchildren, he originally liked the eldest two, especially An Hao, as he shared the surname An, which made him feel deserving towards the ancestors. Yet now, he couldn’t see them!

As for Luo Shufan, needless to say, among the three generations, apart from Luo Qianqian, he showed up the least!

On the contrary, the second child’s family who he usually overlooked, occasionally accompanied him fishing, allowing him to enjoy some moments of family joy.

The others had no intention to engage with him. Even the third child’s two daughters were constantly running around with the elder family, lacking the demeanor of little girls.

They say they’re providing for his retirement, but what’s good here? There aren’t even any news stories, idling conversation lacks speakers...

”Why not start a shop for them, send them to Nine Heavens Pavilion, the city life is better, preventing them from constantly mocking and belittling us, making Mom feel awkward. Even though they know it’s untrue, hearing it for long can make one engrossed.” Luo Qianqian contemplated briefly and then turned to Luo Shufan, expressing her idea.

Clearly understanding these people were idle, Luo Qianqian decisively proposed: ”Besides, the Forget Worries Tea House has formed a small town, hasn’t it? It’s convenient for us to know if anything happens nearby.”

Luo Shufan listened to Luo Qianqian, and nodded, actually he had thought about it too. However, he felt saying it out loud might not get Mom’s approval, so he hadn’t mentioned it.

Since Luo Qianqian agreed, trying is feasible. After all, Mom realized what idleness leads to.

As for other people’s wishes?

Haha, aren’t they looking for partners? They should strive on their own, find it themselves.

”Moreover, we should announce some things externally, to prevent them from claiming everything here is theirs, or the like.” Luo Shufan looked at Luo Qianqian with firm nods.

If it were his, it wouldn’t matter, but because it’s Luo Qianqian’s, that’s different!

As a brother, he must resolutely protect everything his sister cares about!

”Like what?” Luo Qianqian agreed, nodding, preventing future troubles from being pushed onto Nine Heavens Pavilion, from being smeared, they truly can’t bear it.

”No one shall use the name of Nine Heavens Pavilion to bully, violate, or do evil, wrongdoers shall be executed.”

”...Moreover, another rule should be added, anyone who betrays the teacher, disgraces ancestors, is disloyal and unfilial, is not of Nine Heavens Pavilion lineage, once discovered, will be expelled from the sect, defaming the sect’s reputation, shall be executed!”

The siblings’ whispered discussions continued in the room, soon Luo Qianqian headed out while Luo Shufan went down the mountain.

In the evening, the two met again in front of Luo Shufan’s courtyard, exchanging smiles.

”How did it go?”

”Handled, how about you?”

”Got it done.”

Luo Qianqian took out a metal notice, wrapped in plastic layer: ”This is hung at our door, later there are some wood-encased iron pieces, hung at Forget Worries Tea House, I creatively designed a small mechanism, making it impossible for others to mimic.”

As she spoke, Luo Shufan noticed the metal pendant on him was somewhat unstable.

Looked at Luo Qianqian with a black line: ”Is it a magnet by chance?”

”Hehe, not telling, what about your side?”

Luo Shufan smirked: ”A shop, a yard with four rooms, and complete decoration are all set.”

”Aye aye aye? What about the money?” Luo Qianqian found it hard to believe.

”They didn’t want money, they wanted items, have to say they’re clever, after all, our commodities are more valuable than those things.” Nod of appreciation.

”What items? You should know some things can’t be given away...” Luo Qianqian, feeling uneasy, quickly spoke.

After all, when they first appeared they attracted with novelty, set high prices, but when those items become commonplace, they become worthless.

”Relax, I understand your concern, they opted to sell snacks, but not those from Nine Heavens Pavilion, just things like baozi and pancakes, requiring flour, meat, vegetables, seasonings, etc., it’s not troublesome.” Luo Shufan smacked his lips, not that he said, leaving Nine Heavens Pavilion, trying to re-enter isn’t easy.

And these troublesome two families together, how thrilling it is...

”Oh right, Godfather and Godmother heard about this and want to open a shop outside, I’m a bit concerned and came back to ask you.” After finishing the serious talk, Luo Shufan’s expression turned somewhat solemn.

In fact, to speak, the He Family’s entanglement with their family is far better than that constantly quarrelsome second aunt’s family. Speaking of sharing weal and woe, the He Family indeed fits the term.

”Um, what do they want to do?” Luo Qianqian was also a bit nervous.

”Uh, Godmother said she wants to do some crafts or something, now this side’s pastries are well-practiced, no longer needing her help, she wants to do something on her own.” Luo Shufan shrugged: ”Perhaps like what we did in elementary school?”

Thinking of those colorful Little Bears, Luo Qianqian smiled: ”That’s possible, but I feel felting is more intricate and time-consuming, isn’t it? Making all kinds of them, we can even advertise them with us.”

”Uh...Godmother made you, uh, a big bear backpack...uh, it’s about the size of An Hao, also one for Xiao Yu and An Hao and those two little girls, but kept it since she hadn’t mentioned it to you yet.” Luo Shufan promptly said.

Luo Qianqian closed her eyes, imagining herself with a bear backpack, shivered at the thought, it was too scary, she was quite grown...

Yet, somehow she was a bit expectant.

”Offer them in Forget Worries Tea House for sale, pick up only at the main store, only High-Level members can custom order, um, perhaps draw promotional pictures, leave this to Nuannuan, she’s post-maternity, often idle.” Luo Qianqian laughed, already having anticipated the method.
