Ge Dong still had some regrets, but the Attendant Feng next to him was full of envy and resentment. He whispered, "Master, the popularity of the Village Lord's store has nothing to do with Wei Ronghua. I heard that the shop's promotion started twenty days ago, and it was all the idea of the Village Lord. Wei Ronghua just came here to pick up a ready-made opportunity; we don't need to pay attention to him."
Ge Dong took a deep breath and snapped, "Shut up."
He couldn't stand it any longer and got on the carriage. Without waiting for Attendant Feng to catch up, he directly instructed the coachman to depart.
Attendant Feng chased after them for a long distance, calling out, "Master, wait for me, please wait."
Seeing them leave, Wei Ronghua withdrew his gaze coldly.
Hu Geng heaved a sigh of relief. His master was right; they didn't have the courage to cause trouble and were probably just curious.
Since there was no trouble, Hu Geng decided not to disturb them further.
"Master, I'll go home and wait for you to come back." Although he wanted to help in the shop, he was now working for the Wu family and didn't want to interfere with other businesses.
Wei Ronghua nodded and handed him the keys.
As Hu Geng turned to leave, he was startled by the shocking exclamations coming from inside the shop.
"What happened? Is there a problem? What's going on?"
Wei Ronghua listened for a moment and smiled happily, saying, "It seems that someone finally drew the first prize. You go ahead; I'll take care of it."
Before Hu Geng could react, Wei Ronghua hurriedly stepped up the stairs.
Perfect timing, Xia Yan was announcing the results.
"Congratulations to this guest for winning the first prize. We have three first prizes, and this guest is the first one to draw. Congratulations. Now, let's see what the prize is, shall we?"
People craned their necks to look inside, and even those who were buying sunflower seeds and paying for wooden plaques put down what they were doing and rushed over.
By this time, after being open for business for a while, everyone was extremely curious about the prizes in the lucky boxes.
Xia Yan smiled as he approached the table and abruptly lifted the cloth covering the prizes.
"Wow..." As people saw what was underneath, an uproar erupted from the crowd.
Following that, Xia Yan introduced, "The first prize is here. On the left side, we have a golden hairpin, and on the right side, there's a double-sided embroidered ornament. Have you made up your mind, dear guest? Which one will you choose?"
Before the winner could speak, various voices already erupted from the crowd.
"Choose the golden hairpin! It's a valuable gold hairpin; it must be worth a lot."
"Exactly, this golden hairpin is so beautiful; it must be expensive. Village Lord is so generous and splendid."
"Why didn't I have such good luck? Ahhh!"
Most of the people present were ordinary folks, but after the first prize was drawn, some wealthy young masters and misses who heard the commotion also joined in.
Upon seeing the double-sided embroidered ornament, they immediately offered their opinions, "Choose the embroidered ornament; it looks so beautiful. How much could a gold hairpin be worth? The double-sided embroidery is rare."
The opinions were divided, and the crowd argued loudly.
Meanwhile, the young woman who won the first prize finally steadied herself and opened her mouth, her gaze firmly fixed on the double-sided embroidered ornament.
But before she could speak, a child's loud crying suddenly came from the crowd.
"Waa... I don't want it, I don't want it..."
