So, Cat Brother happily picked up the wine pot and filled his father's and second uncle's wine bowls, then remembered to save some for himself.
Everyone laughed at the sight. Li Zhensheng patted his son but didn't stop him.
He traveled extensively throughout his life, and his early experiences were quite "exciting".
Therefore, he did not advocate raising his sons to be too obedient and well-behaved.
Otherwise, they will easily suffer losses when they grow up and go out into the world.
The boy is naturally fond of alcohol, likes to get his hands dirty, and is very curious—all of these are normal traits.
When you're young, you can't do whatever you want and be free. When you get older, you have a family to support and more things to worry about. By then, it's too late to regret it.
Seeing this, Jiaren, Lige'er, and Jiaxu also joined in the fun and poured half a bowl of wine.
On the contrary, Lu Zong, who was taking a medicinal soup to regulate his body, had to abstain from alcohol and could only satisfy his craving by gnawing on goose meat.
Remembering something, Li Lao Er asked, "Have the old men in the backyard and Doctor Zhang been given goose meat?"
"It's been delivered!" Cat Brother quickly replied. "Second Uncle, I personally led the delivery team, so you can rest assured."
"Our family slaughtered eight geese today, and Aunt Dayong and Uncle Liu's family also gave us a basin of them."
Li Lao Er nodded and then asked, "I heard that the Liu family and the Wang family came to plead for mercy today?"
Jiaren replied, "Yes, Father, these two families are truly corrupt from top to bottom. They're using the excuse of children's jokes to try and get rid of this matter and refuse to give up the shop."
Li Zhensheng sneered and instructed, "Don't worry, I'll cut off their remaining business today, and your father will dismiss Wang Yuanzhong from his job. They'll be begging to come and deliver the contract tomorrow."
"Really?!" Cat Bro was overjoyed. "That's exactly how they should be taught a lesson! They keep saying they're just kids and don't know any better, it's disgusting."
"Let's see if they dare to be so clever and scheme against others again!"
Li Ge'er also said, "The Liu and Wang families are so dishonest and untrustworthy. Even if they don't hand over the shop, I'm afraid no one will dare to do business with them in the future."
Jiaren's considerations were more comprehensive: "Once we get the shop, we'll make some preparations to visit Mr. Momei and the other gentlemen to express our gratitude and appreciation."
"These old gentlemen must have gotten quite angry while helping us collect the debt."
Hearing this from inside the house, Jiayin quickly said, "Brother, I'll prepare the thank-you gifts for the old gentlemen."
"The potted flowers, fruits, and vegetables in the greenhouse can easily make a thank-you gift that is decent and doesn't cost any money."
Jiaren disagreed and loudly refused, "No need, we can go to the city to buy a thank-you gift."
"The flowers, plants and fruits in your greenhouse are all grown by you with great effort. It's fine for your own consumption, but it's not appropriate to take them out every time to give as gifts."
"Besides, the old gentlemen were willing to step forward to help us in order to protect us, so naturally we should pay for their thanks."
Jiayin insisted, and simply took the rice bowl out of the house, sat down between her eldest and second uncles, and said, "Why are you being so polite with me, eldest brother? Weren't you going to give me those two shops to open a fresh food shop after you got them back?"
“Those old gentlemen were helping me out, so of course I should give them a thank-you gift. Besides, they are all well-off, so they don’t need a simple thank-you gift.”
"If we give them vegetables, fruits, or potted plants, they'll know they're grown by us, and they'll be happy to accept them without feeling guilty."
Jiaren thought about it and realized that what he said made sense. He could only smile wryly and shake his head, picking up a goose leg for his sister and reluctantly agreeing.
"Okay, whatever you say. You're getting sharper and sharper; no one can out-argue you!"
While gnawing on a goose leg, Jiayin said smugly, "I'm in the right, so of course my older brother has to listen to me!"
Everyone laughed along, and then suggested that visiting each of the old gentlemen individually would be too conspicuous, so it would be better to send an invitation to Mr. Mo Mei in the name of the Earl's Mansion.
It would be most convenient for Mr. Mo Mei to invite the other senior gentlemen to meet at Mo Mei Courtyard.
In this way, you only need to prepare six portions of vegetables and fruits and six potted plants at home.
The six potted plants will certainly be of different varieties and qualities; the specific allocation will be left to the gentlemen to decide.
It's easy to predict that the scene will be quite lively...
The next day at noon, the Li and Wang families indeed delivered the shop's deed to Suijintan.
Jiaren rode in a carriage with them into the city, quickly changed his name, and was also registered in the government office.
As a result, two new members joined Jiayin's portfolio of businesses.
This is like a windfall!
You should know that the shops on the commercial street are now much more valuable than they were when the capital was first moved.
It's practically priceless!
Now, the Li family has acquired two rooms without spending a single tael of silver, making everyone who hears about it envious.
Some people made sarcastic remarks, implying that the Li family was abusing their power and bullying others.
But most people are reasonable enough to speak the truth.
Because there were so many people who could testify at that poetry gathering.
It was Wang Sheng and Liu Kui who insisted on courting death, and the Li family, despite being outmaneuvered, turned the tables and won a desperate victory. The plot was more exciting than any storybook!
Now that the Liu and Wang families have offered up their shops, it's simply a matter of accepting defeat in a gamble.
What everyone was more curious about was the young steward of the Li family, who was truly a hidden talent, managing to write such a brilliant article and win so easily.
Unfortunately, no matter how curious everyone was or how much they wanted to catch a glimpse of the legendary manager, they were unsuccessful.
Because Gu Li has already been arranged by Mr. Jiang to go into hiding!
Perhaps the Liu and Wang families were afraid of further retaliation from the Li family, and having lost their jobs and shops, they would not be able to survive in Xindu.
So the two families quickly sold off the goods in their shops at a low price, took the money, packed up their valuables overnight, and left Xindu at dawn.
Both shops were locked, but the specifics of how to renovate and decorate them are still pending Jiayin's decision.
For this reason, Brother Li and Brother Mao spent the whole morning at the shop drawing detailed structural diagrams for their sister.
Jiayin wanted to decorate the place like the small supermarket from her previous life.
Spacious, quiet, and with attentive service, it aims to be a high-end fruit and vegetable shop, specifically targeting the wealthy and powerful.
The main theme, of course, is still "robbing the rich to help the poor"!
In the following days, she devoted herself to the princess's mansion and began drawing planning diagrams again and again.
Unfortunately, I never actually went to the shop to see it; no matter how it was designed, it just felt awkward.
If any dimensions are incorrect or unclear, someone has to go to the shop to measure them in person.
Finally, even the cat brother, who was most willing to go out, was so tired that he said, "Sister, let's just rent out the shop."
"Otherwise, before your fresh produce shop even opens, your seventh brother will be meeting the King of Hell!"
Cat leaned back in the rocking chair, looking like he was exhaling more than inhaling.
Unexpectedly, when Grandma Li came over for a visit, she heard her grandson say that as soon as she entered the door. She was so angry that she slapped him and scolded, "You brat, how dare you say such nonsense!"
"Watch out, or I might just sew your mouth shut one day!"
Cat Bro was beaten and ran away with his head in his hands.
Jiayin ran forward, grinning, and grabbed her grandmother's arm, shaking it incessantly.
Grandma Li understood her granddaughter and, before she could speak, said, "I won't agree."
Jiayin was dejected and started to whine and shake her grandmother, "Grandma doesn't love Fu Niu'er anymore! She hasn't even said anything yet, why won't you agree!"
Served at midnight~~
