Wu Sheng raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Before that, I have a request that I haven't asked of you!"
Zhen Wanwan raised her hand and gestured, "Please speak!"
Thinking of the cool and sweet lemonade, Wu Sheng picked up the glass of water with ice again.
"Besides the liquor and grilled fish, I'm quite interested in the lemonade in Mrs. Zhen's hand. Would you be willing to..."
"Hey! Of course I'm willing! To be honest, Mr. Wu, I originally wanted to collaborate with you on lemonade, but I thought you weren't interested!"
Wu Sheng was taken aback, and hurriedly shook his head to explain, "Madam Zhen, you've misunderstood! I just wanted a recipe for making lemonade, to drink when it's hot in the summer!"
"Although I've stored a lot of ice, the amount is simply not enough to support our sales!"
Moreover, ice is very expensive in this hot weather!
Apart from nobles and wealthy merchants, ordinary people could not afford it!
When Zhen Wanwan heard him refuse, she was a little disappointed, but when she heard the reason for his refusal, her fighting spirit was rekindled.
"I have a way to solve the ice problem!"
Zhen Wanwan's eyes flashed, and she slowly said, "How about this? I'll provide the ice cubes and lemonade recipe, and Mr. Wu will be in charge of sales. How about we split it 30/70?"
Upon hearing about this cooperation method, Mr. Wu was overjoyed and danced with delight.
"Whose three is it and whose seven?"
"Is there even a question? I'll pay the lion's share, of course I'll take seven! Boss Wu only needs to set aside a small corner specifically for selling lemonade!"
Mr. Wu chuckled twice: "Yes, yes, yes... Since Madam Zhen is willing to cooperate, then I will respectfully accept!"
He would be more than happy if Wu Sheng didn't have to pay any costs!
He's not stupid; how could he not accept this free share?
Zhen Wanwan looked at Wu Sheng, who was completely different from the person she had spoken to yesterday when they were about to part ways, and couldn't help but purse her lips.
It's not that businessmen are shrewd; it's that they're too stingy!
"Mr. Wu was quite agreeable today!"
Wu Sheng smiled broadly, seemingly unconcerned about Zhen Wanwan's subtle dig at him.
"I'd be more than happy to do business with Lady Zhen! If you ever invent anything new or interesting in the future, feel free to come to me!"
"nature!"
The two immediately summoned servants to hand them paper and ink, because Zhen Wanwan's handwriting was too ugly, so the content of their collaboration was written by Wu Sheng himself.
All she needs to do is sign and put her fingerprint at the bottom!
When Wu Sheng saw Zhen Wanwan's handwriting, which was written in a scrawl like a tortoise, his lips twitched involuntarily.
This handwriting is so ugly!
Zhen Wanwan had just closed a big deal and was so happy that she didn't have time to think about how embarrassing her handwriting was!
She put away her contract and said goodbye to Wu Sheng with a smile.
"Then I won't bother Mr. Wu any longer! I need to hurry back to take care of the children..."
Wu Sheng waved his hand, indicating that she could leave: "Go on! I just saw your eldest daughter guarding the courtyard gate!"
At this moment, Zhen Wanwan was eager to return home. With the disappearance of Granny Zhang, she felt extremely insecure!
From afar, Zhen Wanwan could hear her baby crying!
She rushed into the house in a hurry.
"My sweet baby!"
You wouldn't believe it until you see it—my baby bumped his chin and scraped it!
Zhen Wanwan stepped forward to catch him with heartache. Her two children had been very obedient and sensible since they were born.
The baby must have really hurt himself, otherwise he wouldn't be crying so hard!
"Mommy, how did you get this done, my darling?"
Grandma Li said angrily, "It's all because of those naughty kids! Fighting for their younger siblings, they accidentally pushed our precious baby off the bed..."
Grandma Li was both angry and guilty, wishing she could take the pain from her precious child onto herself.
Led by Gou Dan, the mischievous kids huddled in a corner, trembling like defeated roosters.
They knew they had caused trouble; their younger brother had cried so badly that they had been frightened into tears as well.
Enraged, Old Lady Li took out a bamboo stick that hadn't been used in a long time and viciously lashed it at Gou Dan and the others.
The pain caused them to grimace and cry out, their screams growing louder and louder.
With her son injured, Zhen Wanwan no longer wanted to indulge them.
He said angrily, "I haven't had time to educate you these past few days, but I've only made you more timid! You have no sense of proportion when you do things!"
"Mother, you have to teach them a lesson this time! Otherwise, they'll act like this again when they go out, and nobody will tolerate them!"
"Waaaaah... Grandma! I was wrong!"
"I was wrong! I'll never do it again..."
Under Grandma Li's guidance, the group finally realized their mistakes.
Of course, Old Lady Li only spanked Gou Dan and Er Niu. As for the two boys from the Zhou family and Xiao Shi Tou from the Dong family, she only gave them a verbal reprimand.
I'm going to personally take them back later so their parents can discipline them themselves!
Zhen Wanwan has already treated Guaibao's wound and applied medicine.
Seeing her baby's pitiful appearance, her heart ached.
Although Guabao and Tianbao were born on the same day, she always paid more attention to Tianbao than Guabao.
Even if the two children are very well-behaved and sensible, they are still just babies who cannot take care of themselves.
She will no longer leave their side so easily.
She wouldn't feel at ease unless she saw them with her own eyes!
After calming down, Zhen Wanwan began to think about what to do next.
The crises that are now facing her are all fatal!
Aside from the unstable factor of Prince Yang, the most pressing issue right now is whether Granny Zhang and Yun'er have been arrested!
And the woman she saw last night, who is suspected to be Sweetie's adoptive mother from her past life!
She felt like her brain wasn't enough to keep up!
Solving these problems is actually quite simple; just leave Songjiang Prefecture by boat as soon as possible.
She had also considered whether to avenge Tianbao's past life and the original owner who lost her child in her past life!
But that woman was clearly not from an ordinary family. She was powerless, penniless, and without influence. If they acted rashly, they would all be in danger.
Isn't this just blatantly handing someone a free kill?
"Alas! There's plenty of time in the future!"
It's not too late for her to fight after she has accumulated enough resources!
Zhen Wanwan took out the letter that Madam Fang had written to her before she left from her personal bag.
Madam Fang had said that if she encountered any difficulties in Songjiang Prefecture, she could hand this letter to the leading official in charge of the waterways, the Grand Canal Transport Commissioner.
But someone of her status wouldn't know anyone.
She planned to wait until later and have her eldest and second eldest brothers run an errand to deliver the letter to the general at the dock.
Let's see if it works!
If possible, they might be able to leave Songjiang Prefecture earlier.
If that doesn't work, she can just wait another four days before heading south with the merchant ships.
I'm still just a nobody with little influence!
If only Zhu Yuan were here! She could just swallow her pride and beg him again!
After all, he is very likely the biological father of Guabao and Tianbao!
He couldn't just watch his own flesh and blood suffer!
Why would I suddenly want to rely on him?
Zhen Wanwan slapped her face hard, trying to wake herself up.
She kept repeating to herself, "Relying on a man will lead to unhappiness!!!"
