Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 293: No Connection with Other Women

They had noticed that the environment had been improving over the past couple of years, naturally leading to various thoughts. However, as long as the boss didn’t tell them to act, they wouldn’t make any moves on their own. Now, it seemed they had finally received their orders.

Qin Kaize glanced at them and said, "I have Whitening Lotion and Hair Growth Solution for women. I’ll give each of you a hundred bottles. Just distribute them in the black market here. You should see noticeable effects within a week."

"Is it really that effective?!" They were skeptical.

Women were used to using clam oil and snowflake cream, which they only found fragrant without noticeable changes. To hear that Whitening Lotion and Hair Growth Solution could show results in a week sounded too exaggerated.

"Yes," Qin Kaize confirmed lightly, not feeling that their astonishment was unwarranted. If he hadn’t seen the changes in his own wife, he wouldn’t have believed it either. He had witnessed how she transformed from a pale, yellowish complexion to a smooth, fair one in just a week, and how her previously dull and brittle hair had become as silky as silk.

But every time, she was always in a rush, swept up in a whirlwind of events.

Naturally, no one had the time or energy to pay attention to the changes happening within her.

"Shouldn’t we push such an effective product nationwide?" Hou Dahai rubbed his hands excitedly.

The local aunts and wives might be frugal in their daily lives, but for a chance to get something as effective as this, they would spare no expense. The clam oil that cost more than a dime was something even village women were willing to save up for. Snowflake cream, priced at just over two dollars, had almost become a standard gift at weddings. If Whitening Lotion and Hair Growth Solution were truly this effective, the local women would be fighting to get their hands on it.

"Production can’t keep up," Qin Kaize replied coldly. The reason they were selling locally first was due to proximity. Otherwise, he would only focus on Jingdu City.

"Ah, I wonder when it will be available more widely," they sighed, lamenting the missed opportunities. If it were more available, they could hire help and make more money each day.

"Dahai, you, Lifu, and Wen Shuoran should negotiate with the black market contacts here and then take a batch to Jingdu City to talk to the black market leaders there," Qin Kaize said, considering the high school entrance exams this year and planning to attend university next year. He wanted to set up a network in Jingdu City ahead of time so that when he moved Jiajia there, he wouldn’t have to worry about a lack of manpower. The people in Jingdu City were either in factories or departments, which made it inconvenient for investigating the Mu and Wang families. Instead, those who could blend into the city were more likely to gather the necessary information.

"Guaranteed completion," Hou Dahai immediately saluted in a show of respect. Qin Kaize trusted his subordinates, so he nodded and turned to the other two.

"Boss, what do you need us to do?" Yu Xingwang and Lou Jianjun straightened their backs, their eyes full of expectation.

Qin Kaize had not only asked for the machine to thresh the rice but also for them to build wooden frames, ladders, and all the materials needed to construct the house.

Although these tasks were a bit strange, the men were already used to it--whatever he said, they did. They didn’t ask any questions, and curiosity didn’t even cross their minds.

He handed over the money and reminded Hou Dahai and the others to stay in the small building for the next few days, waiting for the workers who would install the telephone. After giving the orders, Qin Kaize planned to leave.

"Boss, where are you going? Aren’t we having dinner together tonight?" they asked urgently.

"What’s there to eat with you bunch of men? I’m going home to eat with my wife," Qin Kaize said coldly, making no attempt to hide his disdain.

They laughed and teased him, but curiosity got the better of them. "Boss, why didn’t you bring your wife with you today?"

"Why would I bring her out in this heat to run around? She’s delicate, and she can’t handle the back-and-forth travel by boat." When he mentioned his wife, his face softened instantly.

Wen Shoran, a bit stunned, asked, "How did you end up marrying your wife? Didn’t you always say you hated fragile girls who couldn’t carry their own weight?"

"Other girls are a hassle, but my wife--she’s different. I like everything about her." Qin Kaize didn’t mean to show off his love; it was just that he truly believed Su Yijia was perfect in every way.

The way she nestled against him, soft and spoiled when she didn’t want to get out of bed, the playful little glint in her eyes when she was up to something mischievous... even when she argued and put her hands on her hips, or even when she fought back, he thought it was incredibly cute.

As for her "kill or be killed" mentality, he saw it as cleverness. She wouldn’t let anyone who wronged her escape.

"Heh, if any of the girls who liked you before saw you now, I bet their hearts would break," Hou Dahai couldn’t help but tease.

Qin Kaize’s gaze turned cold, his voice tinged with anger. "What do those women have to do with me?"

His little wife had a fiery temper. If she found out that other women had shown interest in him, she would either think he was a hassle or that he wasn’t "clean" anymore.

"No! Absolutely no connection!" Hou Dahai quickly denied, shuddering at the thought. Ever since their boss got married, he’d become quite terrifying.

"Alright, I’m done talking. I’ll be back in three days. The frames and materials for the house need to be ready by then, and I also need a thousand large burlap sacks," Qin Kaize reminded them.

They quickly nodded. "Don’t worry, Boss, we’ll make sure everything is prepared. We won’t hold you up."

Qin Kaize gave them a satisfied nod and then, with the items in hand, boarded the boat back to the island. He dropped off the supplies at home, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes. Only then did he head to Aunt Wang’s house to pick up his little wife.

"Auntie, the dress is ready. Please try it on. If anything doesn’t fit, I’ll adjust it immediately," Su Yijia said as she handed a freshly made dress to one of the aunties.

The auntie happily took the dress and went to the bathroom. Seeing that Su Yijia had finished her work, the other aunties quickly said, "Miss Su, you need to remember what we told you earlier. It’s very important."

"Don’t worry, Auntie. I’m very easygoing and never provoke anyone," Su Yijia smiled sweetly.

Though her appearance was charming, it gave off a sense of being aloof and unbothered. Auntie Ju pushed through the crowd and sat directly across from Su Yijia with a serious expression.

"Miss Su, we’re not joking. Every auntie here has suffered from issues with those women. I know you’re a good girl and won’t start trouble, but some people just love to provoke you. And the city aunties and village aunties have always been at odds. It’s unlikely that will change. Even though you live in a small courtyard and have fewer encounters with the village women, there will still be times you cross paths. Take Auntie’s advice and try to avoid conflicts with them. If any major issues arise, it will reflect poorly on you and your family."

Su Yijia nodded, understanding the warning. She was grateful for the aunties’ concern and would be cautious in her interactions.
