Chapter 386 Zhang Xiamei's Strategy
"Miss, I have already counted them. There are enough. It is just right for us to set off tomorrow morning."
"And the family who delivered the goods this time seemed to be just a temporary worker hired to deliver the goods. We don't know the information of the owner. Hu Zhanggui also said that he only contacted the owner once, and they did not reveal their address, so we can't find out for the time being."
Zhu Hongbo polished it again based on the information provided by Hu Zhanggui.
In fact, he was also a little unhappy with the young lady's behavior. After all, chili peppers were the largest source of business for Fumanlou at present. The young master had no intention of digging into the matter, but the eldest lady had intervened. She had been cooperating with Fumanlou for so long, but her identity and address could not be found. There must be someone behind her who is not simple. If she wanted to continue the cooperation, she should not make others unhappy.
But this young lady is eager to make people dislike her. It seems that I need to report it to the young master.
"Okay, leave now." An Zeyun didn't get a satisfactory answer and her face was very dissatisfied. However, she also sent people to inquire privately, but to no avail. Thinking of her father and elder brother's instructions before leaving, she had to give up. Maybe her father and elder brother had spies in this team.
The time I have to go out is limited. I have been here for several days and there is nothing fun to do. I originally wanted to come here to visit my good sister, but she was not at home. Since the peppers have been delivered, I will set off back to North City.
Zhu Hongbo was secretly relieved to see that the young lady was not confused, otherwise he would have taken another approach. He bowed respectfully again and left.
……
Hsinchu Village
The door of the wishing house is open at this time.
Xuyuan was sitting in the pavilion, counting money quickly to settle the bills with the villagers sitting in front of him. Village chief Gu was sitting on the other side, writing on paper with a brush.
Village chief Gu was afraid that some people in the village would make mistakes, so he asked Li Dali and Chen Dafu to come over to help and assist in settling the money.
It was already the afternoon when Xu Yuan just returned to the village and asked Village Chief Gu to tell her to come to her house at this time to settle the money from the chili peppers.
Ever since the villagers picked the peppers and gave them to Xu Yuan, they have been looking forward to the day when they would get the money. Xu Yuan did not force the villagers to give him the peppers. Everything was voluntary. In order to avoid unnecessary entanglements later, Xu Yuan would leave a receipt every time he delivered the peppers. It was very clear. After each transaction, he would put his fingerprints on the receipt, in duplicate.
These are all transactions based on mutual consent, so there have been no financial disputes in the village so far, which makes making a wish worry-free.
Everyone in the village came here with great anticipation and left with satisfaction.
"Oh, today is a good day. It's the first time I get so much money. Next year, I will plant more peppers. Hahaha."
"Who says it's not true? Life is getting better and better. I want to save up some money and build a big house to live in. I envy the blue bricks and white tiles in the county town."
After the two villagers received the money, they left arm in arm, chatting and laughing, discussing their future plans.
Luo Xile followed his grandfather to collect the money, and also got his own share of the money. He felt very happy.
After hearing what the two villagers who passed by said, they also said to Grandpa Luo with expectation: "Grandpa, we will also work hard to save money, so that we can live in a house with blue bricks and white tiles in the future."
"Okay, okay, let's work hard together." Grandpa Luo tightly grasped the purse in his hand, held Luo Xile's hand and left. In the past, he would only think about it, and it was something that would never be possible in his lifetime. But now, it is different from the past. As long as he follows Yuan Yatou to work, his life will get better and better. Even if he is gone, his grandson will have a skill to support himself. These days are really getting more and more hopeful.
The whole village is now filled with joy.
The girls who came with the group looked at the people making wishes in the pavilion with envy, but when they thought of their families' expectations of them, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
In their entire lives, they will never be able to be as capable, opinionated, and independent as Xu Yuan.
Li Yuncai looked at Grandpa Luo and his grandson Luo Xile leaving and wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Zhang Xiamei.
"Where are you going? Stay still."
"Mom, I have nothing to do here. I can't help at all. I want to go back."
Zhang Xiamei twisted Li Yuncai's arm and said, "Don't I know you? Just stay still and look at Xu Yuan. He is very capable. When you have free time, you should come here more often and make friends with Xu Yuan. It would be great if you can learn some skills from him."
Li Yuncai pursed her lips and lowered her head silently. She knew her own weight. It was good enough that she didn't rush to offend others. She knew it clearly.
"Raise your head. I'm about the same age as you, so how come I'm so capable?" The more Zhang Xiamei looked at her timid daughter, the more dissatisfied she became.
Li Yuncai didn't say anything, but sneaked out of Xu Yuan's house when her mother wasn't noticing.
When Zhang Xiamei found out, she could only swallow her anger silently and still keep a smile on her face.
In the other team.
Seeing how capable Xu Yuan was, Lin Suxiang felt a little regretful in her heart. She thought that her eldest son was really unlucky. She thought about how she had come to try to persuade him in an indirect way, but she didn't expect Xu Yuan to refuse her directly without beating around the bush.
"Suxiang, it's your turn. Why are you in a daze?" Lin Meixue patted Lin Suxiang's shoulder and reminded her.
"Oh, I'm going." Lin Suxiang reacted and replied, then took out a piece of old paper from her arms and walked into the pavilion.
Gu Qingming, Xuanyu and Guozi leaned out of the kitchen window and looked at the villagers coming and going in the yard. This should be the most lively place in the whole village at this moment.
Guozi sighed helplessly, "Second sister, it seems like we can't help at all. I wish I were older."
"Why do you think so? Who said you didn't help? You just kept an eye on it, just in case some villagers were up to no good."
My sister said that having money is a good thing but also a bad thing, as it will magnify the desires of some people.
Xu Zhi took it seriously and kept it in mind.
Soon, the villagers who came to collect the money left one after another, and Xuyuan sorted out the stack of receipts and put them back into a specially placed wooden box.
Xu Yuan was very grateful to Village Chief Gu and others who came to help. Without their help, he was afraid that it would not be over so quickly.
"Don't be polite. Your uncle Chen has never touched so much money in his life. Today I've had a great time. If you want such a good thing next time, just come to me. I'll be happy to help." Chen Dafu waved his hand with a happy look on his face.
