Liu Yuping was sharp-tongued and spoke with a barbed tongue: "I'm not the store manager anymore. Since some people have the guts to take over, they should get things done properly. I'll wait for my second sister to come and audit the accounts at the end of the month and see what kind of face she has when she sees this month's profits!"
Qi Fenglian, her face grim, slammed the rag onto the counter.
At this moment, several customers who had randomly chosen a shop walked in and, seeing the atmosphere inside, immediately withdrew their feet from the shop.
Liu Yuping: "..."
Qi Fenglian: "..."
Amidst the flashing lightning and thunder, the two exchanged a glance and instantly began fighting.
You pull my hair, I'll pinch your eyeballs!
Customers who had left the store noticed the situation inside and quickly informed passersby.
"There's a fight going on inside, don't go in and cause trouble!"
Upon hearing this, everyone avoided the area as much as possible, walking around the store entrance.
In the end, Qi Fenglian emerged victorious.
Liu Yuping was ultimately worried about her unborn nephew and couldn't go all out, so Qi Fenglian kept beating her.
After the fight, Liu Yuping left the work in the shop and ran out crying.
Qi Fenglian, her lip chapped, sat behind the counter, examining her injury in the mirror, her hatred overflowing.
Suddenly, she saw Peng Xiaomei passing by the shop entrance.
"Xiao Peng!"
"Sister-in-law Liu!"
Peng Xiaomei stopped and turned around to look.
Qi Fenglian ran out and forcibly took Peng Xiaomei's arm, saying affectionately, "Xiao Peng, we're neighbors now, come in and have some tea with me!"
There's another shop between the two, and we haven't seen the owner yet; all we know is that it's a friend that Lao Peng brought in.
This person takes the lion's share, receiving three-fifths, while Chen Zhaodi and the Peng family each receive one-fifth.
Peng Xiaomei looked embarrassed. Looking at the fresh wound on the corner of her mouth, and thinking of the rumors on the street about the discord between the Liu family sisters-in-law, she refused the invitation, the purpose of which was unknown.
"Thanks, Sister Liu. Sister Chen and Sister Zhou are opening a new store. I'm going to give them my greetings on behalf of my brother!"
Old Peng was also busy preparing for his new store, and since Liu Yuting had left the Liu family's store, the two hit it off and went to the Jiangnan area to find sources of goods.
In comparison, Guangdong Province has a more active economy and offers them more choices. However, they are unfamiliar with the area and the journey to Guangdong Province is difficult and they are easily cheated. Therefore, they tend to seek sources of goods in the Jiangnan region instead.
Qi Fenglian held onto Peng Xiaomei's arm tightly, pursing her lips in a provocative manner.
“Xiao Peng, the three of you bought the shop together, and it was your eldest brother who took the lead. You just watched Zhou Hongyu open the new shop first, and all the customers went to her shop. Your shop is right next door. How will you survive in the future?”
Peng Xiaomei may look young, but when she was earning her first pot of gold with her brother Lao Peng back in her hometown, she showed an unusual toughness. She is not easy to fool.
Sensing the provocation in Qi Fenglian's words, Peng Xiaomei smiled slyly.
She raised her chin sarcastically: "Sister-in-law Liu, we don't need to worry. Apart from the one next door that hasn't had a customer yet, your business is the worst. You should spend your energy on your own shop!"
She pried Qi Fenglian's hand off her arm and walked forward with a smile.
Qi Fenglian was left standing there, gritting her teeth in hatred.
That brat, she's already showing off before she's even married; she'll never get married!
"Sister Fenglian!"
Qi Fenglian turned around angrily, ready to go back.
At this moment, Wang Fengqin, who came from the dried goods store, called out to him.
Wang Fengqin stood to the side, cracking sunflower seeds, her eyes darting around as she stared at the new store, which was surrounded by a crowd not far away.
Wang Fengqin said to herself, "Sister Fenglian, this business is really good! You must have made a lot of money today!"
The sourness in his tone was unmistakable.
Qi Fenglian suddenly smiled. Wang Fengqin has feelings for Zhou Hongyu!
Wang Fengqin ate sunflower seeds like a machine gun, venting some kind of resentment.
She couldn't stand seeing Zhou Hongyu having everything go smoothly!
Ultimately, it was because Zhou Hongyu looked down on her and Zhou An and didn't want to help them get rich, so she was full of resentment.
During their honeymoon, Zhou An talked a lot about his family to Wang Fengqin in an attempt to please her. As a result, Wang Fengqin learned about Zhou Hongyu's clothing stall in front of the dried goods store.
With a quick calculation, she knew exactly how much money Zhou Hongyu had earned—about twenty or thirty thousand yuan, a huge sum of money!
We can't let outsiders take advantage of such a great deal.
From the moment she learned of this, Wang Fengqin planned to have her family copy the same thing exactly. She asked Zhou Hongyu for key information such as the source of the goods, and then arranged for her family to come and set up a stall so they could make a fortune.
What's infuriating is that Zhou Hongyu is too lazy to pay attention to her, and even if she tries to please her, she can't achieve her goal.
Her in-laws, whom she thought would be a help, stopped her from making a scene in front of Zhou Hongyu, fearing that she would cause Zhou Hongyu to dislike the whole family.
She saw it clearly: although her cousin and his wife treated her very well normally, when it came to matters of principle, they would go back to where they came from, and they were not really family at all.
She became even more determined to help her family in the future, because only her family would treat her as one of their own.
Qi Fenglian already knew her background, but she pretended to be confused and asked, "Fengqin, what kind of help do you want me to do?"
Wang Fengqin smiled smugly: "Sister Fenglian, my aunt's new shop is only doing well on the surface. If there are competitors nearby, it will definitely be crushed immediately! I have a plan!"
"oh?"
"First like this... then like this..."
Qi Fenglian couldn't help but smile after hearing this. Zhou Hongyu, that niece-in-law, was really heartless, trying to ruin even her own aunt.
However, she liked it very much!
"Fengqin, do as you say, I'll do my best to help!"
Wang Fengqin was very pleased to hear this. She had no intention of going against Zhou Hongyu. If anyone was to blame, it was Zhou Hongyu for looking down on her!
This time, teaming up with Qi Fenglian will definitely get us revenge!
Zhou Hongyu's shop has high operating costs, and this time the goods were transported back from Guangdong Province, making it much harder to break even than setting up a stall.
If she simply replicates Zhou Hongyu's methods from the previous two times, she can severely damage Zhou Hongyu's vitality, and it's uncertain whether Zhou Hongyu will be able to smile again in the future!
Wang Fengqin assured: "Sister Fenglian, this time we not only need to borrow the open space in front of your shop to set up a stall, but we also need to ask you for start-up capital. You know, ordinary families like ours can't compare to wealthy families like yours. If we don't have this money... this matter can't be done!"
The Wang family is shrewd and calculating; Wang Fengqin came up with this idea hoping that Qi Fenglian would take the risk.
Qi Fenglian pondered for a few seconds and readily agreed.
She had one condition: "Fengqin, I value your abilities. This money won't be lent for nothing, and you don't need to pay it back. Consider it an investment, and we'll split it 30/70!"
Wang Fengqin lowered her head and calculated for a moment, then immediately agreed.
Although the two formed an alliance to deal with Zhou Hongyu, they each harbored their own ulterior motives, distrusted each other, and only used a fraction of their strength to carry out their promises, each holding back a secret.
If anything seems even slightly wrong, run away immediately!
Qi Fenglian never intended to pay for it herself from the beginning; she had to ask Liu Yujie for the money!
