Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Second Aunt Ning was so frightened that her needles and threads fell to the ground. Before she could pick them up, she saw Xiaoxiao kick open the courtyard door and rush in with a few other villagers. Seeing that it was her, Xiaoxiao immediately pulled someone else. “Uncle, Aunt, don’t move. My Second Aunt is pregnant. Don’t touch her!”

The villagers who came to help only felt that she was sensible, but Second Aunt Ning felt that Eldest Brother was unhappy. What did she mean by “pregnant”? Was she a pig?

After Xiaoxiao stopped her, she frowned again. “Second Aunt, my mother said that she was going out to send food when you came just now. You already know that there’s no one at my house. Why did you come in?”

Second Aunt Ning pretended to be calm and snorted. “I left my things here. Why? Do I have to watch the sun outside your house and wait for you to come back?”

After saying that, she even spat, “Do you think there’s anything good in your house?!” Then, she rolled her eyes and left. Just as she walked out of everyone’s sight, she couldn’t help but pat her chest. She was scared to death. Why did that brat come back so quickly? Fortunately, she was also fast and had long found what she was looking for.

When Madam Song and the others returned, Xiaoxiao casually told them about this interlude. After Madam Song heard this, she didn’t even bother to eat. She hurriedly rushed back into the house and heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that everything was there. However, she didn’t understand something. “I remember locking the door before 1 left.”

Xiaoxiao remained calm. “Perhaps Mother remembered wrongly? It can’t be that Second Aunt picked the lock, right?”

Of course not. If Second Aunt Ning had such ability, she would have gone somewhere to steal. The lock was opened by Xiaoxiao to make things easier for Second Aunt Ning.

Xiaoxiao lowered her head and ate, as if she was not very concerned about this matter. However, she kept paying attention to the movements in the old residence for the next few days. No, it should be Second Aunt Ning’s movements.

Second Aunt Ning liked the designs of the little tiger in Madam Song’s house the more she looked at them. Thinking that the baby in her stomach happened to be the zodiac tiger, she decided to follow that picture and sew a belly band for her son!

Second Aunt knew that Madam Song was going to the Ruyi Clothing Shop to sell embroidery, so when she hurriedly embroidered the first finished product, she refused to go to that shop. She had also learned Second Uncle Ning’s trick and set the price of the embroidery at 18 copper coins. Second Aunt Ning valiantly stepped into another cloth shop in the county.

She did not look for a middle-aged female agent. If she had money for that woman, she would earn it herself. Besides, look at how her sister-in-law hid it. She knew that this design was worth a lot!

She left with anticipation, but someone dampened her with 10 copper coins. “What, 10 copper coins? The Ruyi Clothing Shop gave me 20 copper coins!”

The cloth shop staff was very cold. “Look at your embroidery skills. I’m already considering that these designs are novel by giving you io copper coins. There’s no need to discuss anything else.”

Second Aunt Ning was flustered. She knew very well how “good” her embroidery skill was, but she did not expect it to be so far off from her sister-in-law. However, she was not slower than Second Uncle Ning when it came to money. She immediately said, “I’m not here to sell embroidery. I’m selling designs!”

Although she was not good at embroidery or painting, she could speak and gesture. With this cloth shop’s embroidery ladies’ talent, they managed to replicate most of this little tiger pattern in the afternoon. Although it was not exactly the same, it was indeed much more interesting than the peony and roses ones outside. Only then did the shopkeeper raise his chin and give Second Aunt Ning 6oo copper coins, making her leave happily.

Just as she left, Xiaoxiao circled around the door and went to the Ruyi Clothing Shop.

Shopkeeper Liu was watering the flowers leisurely. When she saw her, she only looked up lazily. “The snacks are on the table. Take them yourself.”

Xiaoxiao pinched a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth. “Am I here to eat snacks? Can you stop treating me like an insensible brat? Oh right, is there tea? There’s too much sugar in this cake. It’s so sweet!”

Shopkeeper Liu put down the kettle and got tea for the “brat”. “You don’t visit unless you need something. Do you have new designs to sell?”

Xiaoxiao wiped her mouth. “There’s no hurry. I’m here to tell you that someone should be producing a replica of the little tiger soon. Hurry up and sell it.”

Shopkeeper Liu narrowed her eyes and looked at her. Xiaoxiao shrank her neck. “I know I’m good-looking, but don’t look at me like that. Shopkeeper Xu will be so envious.”

Shopkeeper Liu blushed and waved her sleeve, wanting to hit her. The two of them played for a while before the first batch of little tiger’s shipment was scheduled. Xiaoxiao cleared her throat.. “By the way, there’s something else that I need beautiful Sister Liu’s help with-“
