Xia Anyan stood there, feeling a little bored.
My consciousness sank into the space and I found that I had just harvested another plot of rice.
This plot of land is close to the spiritual spring, so the crops grow exceptionally well, and they taste much better than the others.
Xia Anyan put the food aside and kept it for her family to eat.
As for the rest, they'll all be divided up among Brother Tietou and Boss Xiong.
"Hey, I'm calling you."
As soon as Xia Anyan's consciousness emerged from the space, she heard someone shouting in her ear, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
She jumped up from the ground, startling the man.
Looking at her nimble movements, Wang Daniu couldn't tell she was an older woman; she seemed more like a young girl.
Xia Anyan's eyes flashed, and she staggered a bit: "Oh dear, getting old is no good, I'm even a little dizzy."
Wang Daniu was truly impressed, and that finally dispelled his doubts.
He called out, "Our boss said the stuff you delivered is good, and he's planning to discuss a collaboration with you. Come with me."
Xia Anyan nodded and followed Wang Daniu to the place they had come from before.
However, this time, when Boss Xiong saw her, he wasn't accompanied by as many people.
The moment the two met, Boss Xiong's gaze fell on Xia Anyan, scrutinizing her: "Where's that little girl? What's your relationship with her?"
Xia Anyan dressed herself up rather old-fashioned this time, even adding wrinkles to her face and covering half her face with a large scarf. She also wore extra padding on her body, making her look much heavier.
At most, she looks somewhat similar to the little girl from before; no one would doubt that they are the same person.
Boss Xiong stared at the person in front of him, feeling a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
“That’s my daughter. My husband had something to do and couldn’t come, so he asked me to deliver those things. You must be the black market boss. My daughter told me about it after she got back, and she said you were brave and powerful, and that you were scary to look at.”
Her smile was simple and honest, making her look just like a country woman.
However, she was a worldly country woman.
Boss Xiong wasn't interested in women that age. He waved his hand casually, signaling someone to bring Xia Anyan a stool, and then prepared to talk about serious matters.
The two sat facing each other. Xiong Laoda should have had the upper hand, after all, everyone here was his man.
Moreover, a woman who looks very thin and lacks presence should be easier to manipulate.
But strangely, he felt that the woman in front of him was too relaxed in terms of her demeanor and everything else, yet her aura was in no way inferior.
He didn't quite understand it, and he couldn't quite... see through it.
"I saw your stuff, and to be honest, it's really good."
Xia Anyan smiled and said, "If something can catch the eye of Boss Xiong, then it must be really good."
"Did you come here to discuss prices or supply?"
“I still have quite a few at home, and if we cooperate long-term, I can get even more. But my husband said we can't compromise on the price. If we compromise once, we'll compromise many more times in the future. I'll listen to my husband.”
Boss Xiong pinched the bridge of his nose.
Who taught this mother and daughter to say "I am I am" like that? It really bothers him.
He sighed, raised his hand to stop Xia Anyan from speaking, and said, "The price can be whatever you want, but there's something I need you to agree to."
"This thing can only be obtained through my cooperation. From now on, no matter who comes to you, you are not allowed to agree to it or give it away."
"The thing I dislike most is sharing with others. You should understand what I mean, right?"
He squinted at Xia Anyan.
Xia Anyan nodded naturally: "Then you can rest assured. I didn't intend to cooperate with many people. We came here as soon as possible because we heard that the black market boss here is a good person. If we cooperate with you, we won't be bullied."
Xia Anyan's ability to speak was very pleasing to Xiong Laoda.
He nodded: "Alright, no need for nice words. Can you read? Look at this, see if you can understand it."
Xia Anyan glanced at the paper he handed her, which listed the amount of grain to be delivered each month, as well as the price.
She read every word and punctuation mark carefully, afraid that they might have forged it.
Finally, it was confirmed that the item was exactly what she wanted.
Xia Anyan nodded: "I can read, I've read it all. Boss Xiong is indeed a man of his word and a good person. I feel at ease cooperating with you."
"If I have anything good in the future, I'll send it to you again. I keep my word, and my promise is as good as my word."
After saying that, he patted his chest.
Boss Xiong was quite satisfied with her attitude.
Seeing how sensible this woman was, he was happy to give her a kind look.
"Okay, since you think it's fine, then put your handprint on it."
"Although this thing has no legal effect, if you ever do something that displeases me, I will definitely hold you accountable."
Xia Anyan agreed without even thinking.
At this moment, Xiong Laoda noticed that although the back of her hands looked somewhat weathered and had some calluses, her palms were completely different.
She even seemed a bit too young, like a little girl.
Boss Xiong narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was off about this woman.
But the things she could produce weren't fake.
Although Xiong Laoda couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about digging deeper.
At least for now, he's still thinking about how to make more money and hasn't considered provoking the other party.
“Boss Xiong, I’ve already put my fingerprint on it. I can also see the delivery date. My husband has rented a warehouse in this county. I’ll just send the goods there when the time comes. You can send someone to pick them up.” Xia Anyan used the same method again.
However, she didn't trust Boss Xiong, so she had to make things clear about the money.
“Although we have already cooperated, I still have to say that we can’t be careless about money. Let’s get straight to the point.”
Boss Xiong meant the same thing.
He didn't want to be taken advantage of, especially when it came to money and tickets; he didn't want to be scammed for no reason.
He's been in business for so many years and has never been cheated.
If he gets tricked by a woman this time, he'll probably lose all face.
"Alright, then tell me, what do you want?" Boss Xiong offered Xia Anyan the choice, wanting to see what this woman really wanted to do.
Xia Anyan smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary country woman. I don't know anything. All I know is that when it comes to money and tickets, it has to be a cash transaction."
