In just a few days, the daily order volume gradually increased, with MODA still shipping the most. Jiang Shuya then selected several other brands, picked some popular items, lowered the discounts, and used the same method to attract customers to place orders.

As autumn deepened and the weather grew colder, the house in the front yard was already built. The old man saw that there were still some extra materials left, so he decided to build one in the backyard. On this day, Jiang Shuya received a call from her younger brother, Jiang Shuhuai, who said that the contract had been drafted and they would come over to sign it together on the weekend.

Sunday arrived in the blink of an eye. At noon, Li Dalan, her father Jiang Donglai, and Jiang Shuhuai came to the door together. Jiang Shuya glanced at the contract. Fortunately, the agreement did not stipulate that it was a freebie. Even though Huang Guohua verbally promised that it would be given away for free, such a contract would not stand. It would be considered wishful thinking. It seems that Li Dalan is very enlightened and understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The important part is that when the house is acquired, a house will be sold to Shuhuai at the demolition compensation price, with the second party paying in full. However, the money used for the house construction support must be returned in full. The matter is clearly settled, and no one is being taken advantage of except the Communist Party. It seems like there's nothing wrong with this arrangement, but Jiang Shuya knows that house prices will continue to rise, and people's hearts are fickle. In the future, people will only remember that Jiang Shuhuai got a great deal, and they won't remember that her father and brother sweated a lot in the sweltering summer heat, did hard labor, and worked for free for more than a month. Although this seems insignificant compared to future house prices, Li Dalan is using a relatively low price to benefit her son, which is in line with her usual stingy nature.

However, given the old man's nature, he wouldn't be able to keep the house. He would sell it for a pittance or mortgage it. When he was moved and offered to give the house to Shu Huai, Jiang Shu Ya didn't object. She also knew that Li Da Lan wasn't the type to suffer losses. She would never invest money without a huge advantage. Perhaps there would be a family debate a few years later, but as long as Li Da Lan was around, no one else could take advantage of her.

That contract would be kept by a conscientious gentleman, but for a gambler or someone with poor integrity, it's just a piece of waste paper.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Jiang Shuya called her parents and in-laws to come to Dageng to ask her grandfather to be a witness. As long as he acted as a middleman, his credibility would be higher, and as long as he was alive, the old man and Huang Minghao couldn't cause any trouble.

Grandpa was feeding Grandma under the eaves, and some vegetable juice and rice grains dripped into the bib in front of Grandma. Jiang Shuya stepped forward and took the bowl: "Grandpa, let me do it!"

Grandpa handed her the bowl, glanced at it, and then asked with a puzzled look, "Is something wrong?"

Li Dalan greeted him with a smile, "Father-in-law, it's like this, the house in front of Xiaoya's house was built with our money. Father and son worked hard for two months. You promised to sell a house to Xiaohuai in the future. I was extremely grateful when I heard this. Thank you for thinking of us. You really solved a big problem for me. Since you are sincere, I thought that words are not enough, so I had someone make a purchase contract. Please help me be a witness. You know, it's not easy for us outsiders to survive here. Xiaohuai is counting on this house to start a family and build a career in the future. To be on the safe side..."

At this point, she gave Jiang Shuya a wink. While feeding her grandmother, she glanced at her grandfather on the recliner and said, "Grandpa, that's roughly the situation. If it's difficult for you, you don't have to be the middleman."

Grandpa glanced at Huang Guohua and his mother-in-law sitting opposite her and said, "Have you made up your minds?"

The two nodded in unison, indicating their agreement.

Grandpa said to Li Dalan, "Our in-laws have been so generous in helping, contributing both money and effort. Hao Hao's family should indeed do something in return. Without you, my good-for-nothing eldest son wouldn't have been able to build all this. I've heard about all the embarrassing things he did before. Thanks to you, I understand your thoughts. Gamblers are not to be trusted, I understand." Grandpa pointed to the house on the adjacent plot of land and then turned to Jiang Shuhuai: "Young man, my eyesight isn't good. Can you read the contents to me?"

Huang Guohua rolled her eyes at her grandfather, took Tangtang from her grandmother, and walked to the river behind the house.

Jiang Donglai chuckled inwardly. This old man really didn't give his son any face at all when talking about him, and he was merciless in his criticism.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuhuai picked up the contract and began to read it aloud.

After the repetition, Grandpa smiled and nodded: "Xiaoya, Haohao knows about this, right? What was his reaction?"

“Yes, he knows. He was there when my dad was working at home before, and he mentioned it at the dinner table.” Jiang Shuya glanced at Huang Guohua, who had just returned from the riverbank, but the two of them remained silent.

Grandpa glanced at his unreliable eldest son and said, "Since you brought it up yourself and Hao Hao doesn't object, I'll be the witness."

Grandpa found his reading glasses, picked up a pen, and carefully signed his name at the very end.

Huang Guohua also quickly signed his name.

Afterwards, with expectant eyes, Grandpa instructed Jiang Shuya in person: "I'm old. You must take good care of your family in the future. You've been in the Huang family for two years now. My son is unreliable and may cause you trouble. Don't be shy, use your methods to deal with him. Just live a good life with Haohao in the future and don't worry about him."

"Yes, Grandpa, no matter who brings trouble to this family in the future, as long as I'm here, I won't be polite and will deal with them in my own way." Jiang Shuya looked at him with a firm tone, her heart filled with panic. She dared not say that she and Huang Minghao were now at the end of their road. At this moment, she felt like a thief, resorting to any means to achieve her goal, and had also let down her grandfather's expectations.

After seeing her parents off, the mother-in-law stood at the door holding Tangtang, scolding, "Tangtang, look! Your maternal grandmother came, but she didn't even hug you or buy you any food. Your maternal grandmother doesn't love you, but your paternal grandmother does." She said this deliberately for Jiang Shuya to hear.

She knew her mother well; she was always stingy. Even if she bought fruit, it would be fruit that was about to expire or wrinkled fruit that looked okay on the outside but was mostly rotten inside. It would be better if she didn't buy it at all.

She ignored the argument, her mind preoccupied with the orders and unshipped goods. She went home, changed into a presentable outfit, and tidied her hair before finally setting off, satisfied. She had a habit of always making sure she looked presentable before going out; she couldn't stand looking sloppy and disheveled, like a street vendor when picking up merchandise. Since she was selling fashionable clothes, she needed to improve her own taste first.

Her mother-in-law could tell that she wasn't going to work, so she told her directly that she was now an online shop reseller. The mall provided the goods, and she picked them up and shipped them herself. She also promised that she would receive her money on time every month, and that she only needed to take good care of Tangtang and not worry about anything else.
