Chapter 172: What you can’t get will always cause you trouble
If Su Wan explained it to him this way, he would understand. It was indeed the truth.
Two hundred taels may sound like a lot, but it is actually not that much and cannot support them to live a good life for long.
"As expected, you are the one who has to take care of the business. Otherwise, if I were to do this business, I would probably lose a lot of money."
Su Mu shrugged. He was just a reckless man and could only be a bodyguard.
Su Wan showed her sincerity to the grocery store, but she also signed a written agreement as a guarantee, leaving 600 bars of soap for them to sell without taking a penny, and would collect the money after all of them were sold.
The business in Qingquan County was opened up in this way, and Su Wan set off to Qingyuan County one after another.
It took half a day to get from Qingquan to Qingyuan. After arriving in Qingyuan, it was already night when they entered the city. Su Chen asked Su Wan to hide in the carriage and found a large inn and booked two rooms.
Qingyuan is not peaceful, so it is safer to stay in a better place. After booking a room, Su Wan got off the car with a face mask.
At the same time, people arranged by Fengying also moved into the inn one after another, and protected Su Wan tightly without her knowledge.
Su Wan even ate his meals in the room with his third brother instead of going downstairs.
It’s still the same idea, the goods are sold through grocery stores.
Su Wan didn't go out for a walk, but went to bed early. After settling the things here, she would hurry back to Xiangzhou. After all the channels were opened up, she would not come to deliver the goods in person in the future. She would buy some more people to deliver the goods specifically.
I also asked the shopkeeper about the largest grocery store in the county.
The next morning, Su Wan went to the grocery store and the business negotiations went smoothly because this grocery store in Qingyuan County had heard of goat milk soap in Qinghe.
He didn't say he would give the money after all the products were sold, but gave half of the money first. So, it's better to have some fame, which is easier to talk to than to know nothing at all.
Six hundred bars of soap, half of which costs about one hundred taels of silver.
The goat milk soap issue was resolved that morning, and that afternoon, Su Wan, Su Chen, and Dashu drove out of the city to their uncle's hometown.
There wasn't much to pack, just tidy up the house, take away some identification documents, the family's land deeds, and the twenty taels of silver that my aunt had buried under the tree in the yard.
She said it was for Yang Qingqing's dowry.
My uncle's home is not far from the county, just as far as Su Wan's hometown is from Qinghe County.
We soon arrived at my uncle's house. The neighbors next door were still raising their livestock. They had been raising them for such a long time and had not given up.
Su Wan asked his third brother to give them some money as a thank you. He also learned that the county magistrate's son had come here several times and was very angry because he didn't find anyone.
I also asked them where my uncle and his family had gone, but they said they were visiting relatives. They didn't elaborate on where they went.
Unexpectedly, after so long, the county magistrate's son still hasn't given up. It's true that what you can't get will always make you restless.
Su Wan didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly took the things and left with his third brother and the others. As for the chickens at home, it would be a pity to throw them away.
Just pack them all up and take them away. When you return to Xiangzhou City, you can eat them or keep them for laying eggs. There is no problem anyway.
After locking the door, Su Wan and the other two got on the carriage and prepared to return to Xiangzhou.
If we set out now, it would probably be night before we get halfway there. However, we would pass by two towns on the way. There were small inns in those towns, but the environment was a little worse.
After leaving the village where my uncle lives, we came to a small road in the country. Su Chen was driving the carriage in front, and Dashu was following behind.
An open-air sedan chair came towards us, carried by four people. A young man was sitting on it with his legs crossed. He looked like a playboy.
There was a lackey next to the sedan chair, saying something to him with a flattering look on his face.
When a carriage pulled by two horses appeared on the road, they had no intersection at all and just passed each other.
However, when the two sedan chairs overlapped, the wind blew up the curtain of Su Wan's sedan chair.
In a flash, Su Wan in the carriage happened to look out the window. The moment the curtain fell, she only saw the man's obsessed eyes.
Su Wan felt puzzled, but didn't take it seriously.
Until a voice was heard outside the carriage:
"Wait, stop!"
The country road was very bumpy and Su Chen was not driving very fast. Hearing these words, Su Chen slowed down even more puzzledly. The man in the sedan chair who passed by had already jumped out of the sedan chair and ran to the front of Su Chen's carriage with his sedan bearers to block it.
Su Chen didn't know him, nor did he know what he wanted to do. He only knew that he excitedly pointed at the carriage and shouted:
"I think I know the girl in the carriage. Can you ask her to come out and meet me?"
Su Wan also heard it clearly in the carriage, so without waiting for Su Chen to say anything, she opened the carriage door and looked out.
He made eye contact with the greasy-looking man, whose eyes lit up instantly and he swallowed.
"Wanwan, do you know him?" Su Chen asked.
Su Wan frowned and shook his head:
"I don't know him. It's getting late. Let's go!"
As soon as she saw the man, her face was full of lust, which made people feel disgusted.
The carriage door closed again. The man was still savoring the memory with an obsessed look on his face. Su Chen frowned unhappily.
"Sir, my sister said she doesn't know you, please make way!"
"So you are her brother. This makes things easy. She doesn't know me, but I know her." The man threw away the folding fan in his hand and fanned it, thinking he looked very handsome.
"What do you mean?"
Su Chen was getting a little impatient. This guy was just weird.
"We may not know each other now, but we will know each other in the future. Is your sister married?" the man asked again.
Su Chen felt uncomfortable when he heard him ask this question. Su Wan said directly in the carriage:
"Third brother, don't talk to him so much, let's go."
However, this group of people were blocking the road. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't push over them.
"Sir, please make way." Su Chen tried his best to speak to him in a nice way.
"I'm asking you a question. Why are you talking so much nonsense? My young master asked if your sister is engaged? Don't you understand?"
The lackey beside the man winked at Su Chen in a bad tone.
As a result, his master hit him on the head with a fan and scolded him:
"How can you say that? This is my future brother-in-law. Be polite. I fell in love with the girl in the carriage at first sight, and I'm even more in love with her now. I'm asking about marriage. If she's not promised, why not marry me? I can marry her in a formal ceremony, with a sedan chair carried by eight people, and take her as my principal wife."
