As soon as Han Yiyi finished speaking, she noticed the person opposite her looking her up and down. The expression in his eyes displeased Han Yiyi, so she frowned and asked again.
"Who exactly are you, and what do you want to do..." Now that Nangong Yuan was not at home, only the three of them, including their mother, were left. Seeing the gaze of the person opposite them, they couldn't help but become wary.
"Well, we're from Kyoto. We'd like to discuss a business deal for you, madam. Look how cold it is outside, why don't we go inside and talk..." As he spoke, he even straightened his hat and looked at Han Yiyi with a big smile.
When Han Yi saw this man, he had a lewd look on his face. When he heard him say that he wanted to come into his house, his brows furrowed even more.
"No need, I have no business for you, you can leave..." he said, and was about to close the door, but the door was blocked by the servant.
"Who exactly are you people, and what do you want to do...?"
“My lady, don’t be anxious. My surname is Wang, and I really am from the capital. I heard that you have something called chili pepper, which is especially delicious when used in cooking. So I came to discuss a business deal with you…”
Upon hearing Manager Wang mention chili peppers, Han Yiyi couldn't help but look Manager Wang up and down again, guessing that perhaps another restaurant, seeing that Yunlai Restaurant had launched many new dishes made with chili peppers and was doing well, also wanted to buy these chili peppers from her.
Not to mention that he had already signed a contract with Yunlai Restaurant, he didn't have any chili peppers on hand. Even if he did, he would never do business with the person in front of him. It wasn't for any other reason than that the person in front of him gave off a very uncomfortable feeling from the moment he was first.
In particular, the way he looked at me carried a hint of lewdness as he spoke.
"No need. I've already signed a contract with Yunlai Restaurant for the chili pepper business, and I won't be cooperating with any other company. You should leave now..."
As she spoke, she went to close the door again. Seeing that the servant's foot was still blocking the doorway, Han Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, kicked it, and then slammed the door shut with a bang.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Manager Wang's old eyes narrowed slightly, the light in his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.
Inside the Yunlai Restaurant, Manager Tong saw Wang Xiaojiang packing up dishes again and couldn't help but ask.
"But it was that person who packed it up again..."
"Reporting to the shopkeeper, no, that person hasn't come to pack for two days. It seems he has already left Ping'an Town..."
Upon hearing this, Manager Tong was finally relieved.
At this moment, the Han family members couldn't take their eyes off the things laid out on the table.
There were five ten-tael silver ingots, and the sight of them made several people's mouths water, especially Brother Han. Ever since he returned from Han Yi's house that day, the more he looked at his wife, the more disgusted he became.
Whenever he thinks about that day, he beats and kicks Han's wife. He doesn't want this wife at all.
Given their current situation, they simply don't have the extra money to marry another wife. But if they had that money, they could divorce that disgusting slut and marry someone else.
When Han's mother saw the silver in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know what you two mean by this. Why would you give us money when we are innocent and have no connections..."
"This money wasn't given for no reason. I heard you're family members of Han Yiyi's wife, is that true...?"
“Of course, of course, we are that brat’s, no, Yi Yi’s, family. I am her older brother, and this is her mother…”
As he spoke, Brother Han pulled his mother in front of him, while his sister-in-law gave him a disgusted look.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Manager Wang couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and asked.
"If that's the case, then you must also have chili peppers on you, right...?"
Having lived in Han Yi's house for so many days, the Han family naturally knew about chili peppers. When Brother Han recalled the taste of the food he had eaten at Han Yi's house, he couldn't help but swallow. However, they didn't have any chili peppers on hand.
"this……"
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Manager Wang frowned slightly...
"If you don't have it, then I'm afraid I can't give you this silver..."
As he spoke, he gave his servant a wink, signaling him to put the silver away.
When Brother Han saw the shiny silver being put away, his eyes turned red, and he wished he could just snatch it away. So he quickly spoke up.
"Well, although we don't have those chili peppers, we are Han Yiyi's family. If you want some, we can help you ask that girl for some..."
When Manager Wang saw Brother Han's expression, he couldn't help but sneer.
“Some is not enough. Since you are Han Niangzi’s relatives, if you really want this money, I have a way. If you can help me get things done, not only will I give you this fifty taels, but I will also give you another one hundred taels later…”
Upon hearing Manager Wang's words, not only did Brother Han's eyes widen, but even Brother Han's mother couldn't help but gasp.
"You, are you telling the truth..." Brother Han asked excitedly.
“Of course, I, Wang, always keep my word. As long as you help me get things done, you will be rewarded handsomely. If you don’t believe me, I can give you this fifty taels as a deposit first…” As he spoke, he gestured to his servants to put the fifty taels of silver on the table.
However, as soon as the silver was placed on the table, Brother Han actually hugged it to his arms and then spoke.
"Of course, of course, please feel free to ask for anything, and we will do our best to help you achieve your wishes..." He agreed without even asking what it was.
Shopkeeper Wang glanced at Brother Han clutching the silver tightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He found a stool and was about to sit down when he noticed something like a dried-up paste on it. Disgusted, he stood up again...
Upon seeing this, Brother Han quickly spoke to his mother.
"Mother, hurry, bring a clean stool for the distinguished guest..." He wanted to get it himself, but he really couldn't bear to put down the silver in his arms.
Upon hearing this, Han's mother hurriedly turned around and went back into the house, bringing over another one and placing it in front of Manager Wang.
Well, this one doesn't seem to be much better than the one from before. Seeing this, the servants nearby quickly took off their outer garments and placed them on the stool, so that Manager Wang could finally sit down.
Sitting on the stool, Manager Wang first straightened his hat and then straightened his clothes before slowly speaking.
"I've heard that this Lady Han was divorced by her husband's family. I wonder if it's true or not..."
