Lu Qiuying was stunned; she hadn't expected anyone to block her way and demand her rent back.

The contract had already been submitted, and at this point, even the money had been deposited into the bank.

How can she get a refund for the rent?

Li Zhaodi rubbed her hands together, "I promise I won't say you're scamming people, please."

Lu Qiuying took a deep breath. "We were never trying to scam money."

"I know, we've changed our minds. Can you give me back the 30,000 yuan?" Li Zhaodi thought to herself, "If it's not a scam, why would they bring so many people here?"

She didn't believe there were so many rich people in Hai County at that time.

She saw the situation at the market entrance today. Who would rent a stall like they're buying cabbages?

Li Zhaodi always felt that her family's two workers earned a lot of money each year and were already quite wealthy, so they couldn't possibly come up with that much money all at once.

Her brother must have done something illegal, otherwise how could he possibly come up with so much money all at once?

If her brother went in like her son, her mother could kill her with a knife.

"Sorry, I don't care about that."

"If you want to terminate the lease, you need to go to the market in person to sign a breach of contract agreement and pay compensation." Lu Qiuying looked at her with a solemn expression.

Her eyes were cold, and she exuded an aura of power.

Li Zhaodi took a step back; she dared not approach these officials.

She had mustered up the courage to chase after her earlier, but now she didn't even dare to make eye contact with her.

Lu Qiuying ignored her, remembered who she was, and left.

Li Zhaodi wanted to follow but was afraid, so she simply turned around and went home.

She practically ran back, her heart pounding in her chest, cold sweat trickling down her back, soaking her floral shirt.

It was terrifying. Her legs went weak and she almost knelt down after being glanced at by Lu Qiuying.

"Mother, why are you back? Weren't you going to look at the market stalls with Uncle?"

Wei Caixia came out of the kitchen and saw her leaning against the door, her legs trembling and her brows furrowed.

Li Zhaodi: "Xia, pour me a bowl of plain water, it scared me to death."

She had returned long ago and was waiting at the village entrance to intercept Minister Lu.

Unexpectedly, a single glance from the other person was enough to frighten her into silence.

That's why when other people are in office, their imposing presence is so intimidating.

Li Zhaodi was still lost in thought, sitting in the rattan chair.

Wei Caixia handed her the water and watched her drink it all in one gulp.

"Mother, what's wrong? Uncle asked you for money to rent a stall?"

She knew that her mother was now very tight on money, and even her grandmother couldn't get any money out of her.

His face was deathly pale, and his legs were trembling. It was quite strange, like he had been ghosted.

She wanted to go with them today, but her mother wouldn't let her.

"No." Li Zhaodi recovered her senses and briefly explained what had just happened.

"Your uncle must have been up to something bad, otherwise how would he have so much money?"

“He also bought a motorcycle,” Li Zhaodi sighed.

She only has less than two thousand yuan in her savings account, not even enough to pay a month's rent. Where is she going to find the money to give him?

Wei Caixia paused for a few seconds, remembering the last time she ran into her uncle in the city, he casually gave her 10 ten-yuan bills.

“Mom, Uncle might have really made money. Last time he gave me 100 yuan and told me to go back to Grandma’s house when I had time and help him look at the accounts.” Wei Caixia hesitated for a moment before saying this.

She hadn't told her family about this, for fear that her mother would overthink it.

Li Zhaodi's eyes widened. "How is that possible? When did he become so generous?"

"He used to be incredibly stingy, he even stole your brother's salary..."

She swallowed hard, but her daughter wouldn't lie.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Li Zhaodi suddenly stood up; she had to hurry back to her parents' home to ask.

Wei Caixia wanted to roll her eyes, but she couldn't help it. "If I told you, wouldn't you take the money?"

Li Zhaodi tapped her forehead with her hand, "You little brat, you've insulted your mother."

“I have so…”

She suddenly stopped, her face turning bright red.

She really did that; she once snatched a single yuan from her brother's daughter.

Wei Caixia rubbed her forehead. "I'll go to my uncle's house with you."

Li Zhaodi initially wanted to refuse, but considering that her brother always listened to his daughter, she nodded in agreement.

News of the small commodity wholesale market quickly spread throughout the village.

Almost everyone in Haibi Village knows Li Chenggong, and they all find it impossible that he could suddenly produce 30,000 yuan.

The villagers assumed that Li Zhaodi was supporting her family, so when they saw Wei Er, they would make sarcastic remarks, saying that he worked from dawn till dusk to support his father-in-law's family.

Wei Er returned home, seething with anger. He opened the door to find no one home, kicked the stool beside him, and muttered to himself...

"You shameless woman, you deserve a beating."

…

On the other side,

Lu Qiuying returned to the Lin family home but couldn't find Lin Ziyan, so she went directly to Hairun Electrical Appliances City.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she saw Lin Ziyan standing there, directing the workers to put up advertising signs.

“Yes, just put it here…” Lin Ziyan pointed to a spot.

Lu Qiuying walked over to her and asked with a smile, "Does this job still need the boss to supervise?"

Seeing her relaxed expression, Lin Ziyan guessed that the leasing of properties in the small commodities market was going smoothly.

“I’m the only one who’s free,” she replied.

“Fatty went to the tax bureau with the accountant, and Sister Fang went to Yueji Youpin in the city to reconcile accounts. It’s the end of the year now, and the order volume of the appliance factory has surged. I have to keep an eye on it,” Lin Ziyan continued.

The two walked under the shade of a tree and watched the workers put up advertisements.

Lu Qiuying nodded; every department was busy at this time.

Everyone in the Ministry of Commerce is now so busy they wish they could be in two places at once.
