Su Qiao grabbed her. "We've only been selling these toothbrushes and tooth powder for the past few days. The people in the village couldn't possibly know about it. So how did Liu Yuehong find out?"
"And they acted so quickly. It's only been a few days, yet their products are already finished."
Su Qiao remembered that when she sold toothbrushes and tooth powder in town, she hadn't run into anyone from the village.
The old man immediately understood. He cast a stern look at everyone. "Who told outsiders?"
Everyone's eyes turned, almost in unison, toward Zhou Lihua.
Zhou Lihua's face flushed with anger. "Why are you all looking at me? Even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't say a word about this money-making business."
Su Qiao's gaze swept across everyone's faces before finally settling on Little Brother, who looked somewhat uneasy. "Xiao Hao, did you tell anyone?"
"I... I..." Little Haozi lowered his head guiltily and shrank his neck in fear.
The moment Zhou Lihua saw his expression, she knew the trouble had definitely come from him. She reached out, grabbed his ear, and smacked him on the rear. "You little brat, aren't you going to tell the truth?"
Su Qiao pulled him away from her. "Don't hit him. Let him explain properly."
Little Haozi clung tightly to his sister's arm and said nervously in a small voice, "That day... that day Goudan said... said his family had lots of land. He even made fun of me, saying our house was shabby and falling apart, so I... I only said one thing."
Little Haozi's eyes reddened, and tears hung on the verge of falling. "I... I really only said one thing."
"I only said that once our family sold toothbrushes and tooth powder, we'd have lots of silver.
