Chapter 155 I regret not killing him
Thinking of this, Bai Feng's face became even uglier.
Zhu Yixuan still felt it was not enough and continued to add, "Don't overthink it. These things were bought by Su Chuan through someone else. If I were to come forward, I'm afraid they wouldn't be willing to sell them. Do you still think Su Chuan is useless?"
Bai Feng felt that he had missed out on a huge sum of money. His face turned pale and blue, like a palette. His expression gradually twisted due to jealousy and anger. "I didn't even know he had such ability before!"
Zhu Yixuan sighed and shook his head, "So you never really understand the people around you! It's true that Su Chuan's family are servants, but the relatives of the Su family are not ordinary. Although they live in the countryside, they live a good life. Country people have their own ways, and they are the best at seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
If I can treat the people around me with courtesy, I will naturally gain their sincere support. Some things will come to me automatically without me having to chase them.
Brother-in-law, listen to my advice, trust the people you employ, and don’t employ them if you doubt them. Otherwise, you may end up not knowing whether the people around you are human or ghost.”
Bai Feng had been prepared to laugh at Zhu Yixuan, but he didn't expect to be scolded instead in the end. He left in a rage and didn't even take the corn, tomatoes and crucian carp that Zhu Yixuan asked him to take away.
Since he refused to take it, Zhu Yixuan sent someone to deliver it to his door and also asked someone to explain to Zhu the origin of the item.
Zhu came up with a plan and sent the good things to other courtyards.
In just half a day, all the masters of the Bai family had eaten corn and tomatoes.
Mrs. Bai liked it very much and specially sent Nanny Li to ask Zhu about it.
Zhu saw the gleam in Nanny Li's eyes and laughed, "Nanny, this thing was sent by my eldest brother. He said that Su Chuan found a way to get it for my eldest brother. My eldest brother thought it was delicious and sent me some. If mother wants more, you can ask my husband to find my eldest brother and ask him to ask Su Chuan to get it.
It’s just that vegetables are not cheap in winter. I heard that my eldest brother spent a lot of money to get some. If you don’t hurry up, you may not be able to get them later.”
"Su Suchuan?" Nanny Li widened her eyes in disbelief and clenched her fists suddenly.
Zhu nodded innocently, "Yes! My husband should also know about this."
Nanny Li immediately went back in a panic to report to Mrs. Bai, and did not dare to mention that she wanted to buy corn and tomatoes.
A batch of porcelain was cleared out from the main courtyard that day.
On New Year's Eve, Mr. Bai sat with the whole family to eat the New Year's Eve dinner with a rare gloomy face.
At the dinner table, while Zhu was still getting dressed, he looked at Bai Feng with dissatisfaction, "I heard that your eldest uncle got a lot of rare vegetables and fish, not only won over the old merchants in the county, but also got connections with the prefect. Then Su Chuan has been with you for so long, why don't you know anything, and you sent all three members of the Su family away, making wedding clothes for others for nothing!"
It would be fine if this matter was not mentioned. As soon as it was mentioned, Bai Feng's face turned black, and he gnashed with hatred. "I was tricked by him! He must have known about Su Chuan's relatives a long time ago, otherwise he would not have exchanged half of the goods with me. It's a pity that Su Chuan kept the matter secret so tightly that I had no way of knowing it! If I had known that he had such connections, I would never have sent his family away no matter what."
This was not the answer Mr. Bai wanted. He shook his head in disappointment, "Su Chuan has been with you since he was a child, but you know nothing about him. Dad is very disappointed in you."
Mrs. Bai's face changed instantly after hearing this, "Master! You can't say that! The three people in the Su family are cunning, and there is more than just this one servant around their son. How could they focus on such a person who is good at covering up!
Even I have never heard Su Chunsen's family mention these things. If you don't believe me, ask the maids and old women in my yard. They are so tight-lipped, it's not our son's fault!
Speaking of Su Chuan, I just happen to have something to tell the master. It's true that we were a little unfair to Su Chuan in Cuilan's incident before, so our son was very tolerant of Su Chuan. Unexpectedly, this instead encouraged his arrogance. He actually had a lover outside without telling us and even had a son.
If it weren't for Shi Liu's message from Moshi Town, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark! Do you think we can keep such a double-minded servant?
If I had known these things earlier, I would have had them beaten to death!"
Mrs. Bai clenched her fists fiercely, feeling extremely regretful.
Zhu walked to the door and heard all this. She took a deep breath and walked in with a smile on her face, pretending she knew nothing about anything.
As soon as Zhu came, Mr. Bai immediately stopped talking, and the family had their New Year's Eve dinner in false harmony.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu returned to her parents' home and immediately told Zhu Yixuan about these things.
Of course, this is all later.
Su Chuan set out for Dongmen Village early in the morning on New Year's Eve. This was Zhu Yixuan's reward to him, and he allowed him to stay in Dongmen Village for a few more days.
In order to have a good New Year with his wife and children, he specially bought a lot of things from the county town and then drove back in a horse-drawn carriage.
Sun Ying'er had been waiting since early morning. As it was getting dark and no outsiders came to the yard, she was mentally prepared that Su Chuan would not come back.
Unexpectedly, the person she had been thinking about appeared in front of her the next second.
Sun Ying'er cried with joy and hugged Su Chuan.
With Su Chunlin's family included, this New Year's Eve dinner is bound to be lively.
Su Tai also put the New Year's Eve dinner on the table. It was as sumptuous as last year, and there was even room for the baby.
Although little girl Shen Yuezhang couldn't eat anything, it didn't stop the two adults from having fun with her and teasing her constantly.
Shen Yuezhang was babbling, and the room was filled with the sound of a baby, making it very lively.
The family of three had just finished their meal. Shen Yi was thinking about whether to set off fireworks, but was stopped by Su Tai, "Our daughter is still young, don't scare her. Other families in the village will set off fireworks anyway, so we can just enjoy the fireworks together then."
This year, their family no longer ran around selling fireworks, but they had accumulated a lot of old customers, especially those from Dongmen Village, Zhongmen Village, Shenjiazhuang and Dahe Town. As soon as the twelfth lunar month began, some people came to inquire about them.
Su Tai thought that the business that came to her doorstep for free could not be turned away, so she went to Paohuo Time and Space to purchase goods worth 20,000 virtual coins.
These goods are temporarily placed in the renovated yard next door, and they will sell them when someone comes to buy them.
The job of selling fireworks and firecrackers was given to Xu, who was paid 100 coins a day.
Xu was very pleased with the good job and even asked Chen Zhuang to bring a truckload of fireworks and firecrackers to Dahe Town.
Unexpectedly, the goods were in short supply and were sold out in less than half a day.
Having tasted the sweetness, Xu couldn't wait to sell out the goods, so he mobilized the whole family to go out and sell fireworks and firecrackers.
It only took five days to sell goods worth 20,000 virtual coins.
Seeing that she was working very hard, Su Tai decided to give the goods to her and let Xu sell them herself, and all the profits would be hers.
