Chapter 173 Luring Him Out
Then Du Wanchun looked at the gold and said, "So much gold can probably be exchanged for a lot of copper coins. Should we open another spice shop in the capital?"
Zhou Feng now runs an incense shop in the capital, and business is booming.
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Your second brother wrote to me a while ago saying that he wants to open another incense shop."
Du Wanchun said slowly, "We'll use some of the gold to open a larger incense shop in the capital."
"Ideally, it should be bigger than the Yuan family's old incense shop." Aunt Zhou smiled, her eyes full of anticipation.
At this moment, Zhou Ruiyuan said again, "Our rice is so fragrant, why don't we open a rice shop in both Cheng'an County and the capital, and transport our rice there to sell?"
Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun were both taken aback, but thought it was very good.
The family agreed to use some gold to build a house, another portion to open an incense shop and a rice shop, and the rest to recruit soldiers for Zhou Zhao and his uncle.
The next morning, Aunt Zhou led Aunt Wang and the others to make another batch of incense.
The more shops we open now, the more fragrant dew and scented balls we need.
Gradually, the three of them were not enough.
Aunt Wang suggested finding two reliable girls in the village to make incense together.
Aunt Zhou worriedly asked, "Where can I find a reliable girl these days?"
Aunt Wang thought for a moment and said, "I'll keep an eye out for you these next few days. If I find anything suitable, I'll bring it over for you to see."
Aunt Zhou thanked her repeatedly, saying, "Then thank you very much, Sister Wang."
We're busy here.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun were preparing to visit the Zhu family when, before they even left the house, someone from the Zhu family arrived.
They are the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Zhu family.
Upon seeing the two of them, Zhou Ruiyuan immediately realized that there was definitely something wrong with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhu family.
"You must be the eldest son of the Zhou family?" Zhu's eldest son asked Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "That's right, that's me."
Old Master Zhu said slowly, "Didn't my parents give you a piece of land yesterday?"
Zhou Ruiyuan replied with a stern face, "That's right, what's wrong?"
After glancing at his wife, Zhu Laoda said, "My parents gave the land to you without asking us anything. My wife and I want to buy it back from you."
Zhou Ruiyuan lowered his voice and asked them, "You haven't farmed here for a long time, why do you insist on this piece of land?"
Zhu Laoda glanced at his wife again and stammered, "Our Zhu family has grown up on this land, so we have a very deep affection for it."
Zhou Ruiyuan slowly said, "What if I don't want to sell?"
Old Zhu was startled. He lowered his head, looked at his wife, and said helplessly, "I told you they definitely wouldn't sell, but you didn't believe me."
Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly walked up to Zhou Ruiyuan and pleaded, "Your Zhou family shouldn't be short of this piece of land, right? We'll give you thirty taels of silver. With this money, you can buy two more pieces of land."
Zhou Ruiyuan's voice remained cold, "Coincidentally, we went to the field yesterday and thought the land was quite good, so we don't want to sell it."
Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law turned pale. "You went to the fields to check?"
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded.
Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law bit her lip, her face growing increasingly pale, but she finally uttered those words, "There is something very important in that field."
"What is it?" Zhou Ruiyuan asked deliberately.
After a moment of silence, Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law gritted her teeth and continued, "It's something my father left me."
"Your father? Where is your father from?" Zhou Ruiyuan continued to ask.
Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law paused for a moment, unwilling to answer him.
Zhou Ruiyuan's gaze turned slightly cold as he stepped aside to enter the house. "I did dig up some things in the ground, but since you said they were given to you by your father, then your father has to come and get them in person."
Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law was startled. "You mean you want my father to come and get it?"
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded. "Our Zhou family would never take other people's things, but we need to confirm whether that thing belongs to you. You must have your father testify, otherwise I will not give it to you."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhu family looked rather unpleasant. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll have my father come."
