Chapter 13 The Extortionate Uncle

"As expected of you, you are a prince. You are so fast in handling matters."

Xu Jiaojiao gave him a thumbs up again. She especially admired his concern for the people's livelihood.

"Thank you, Boss Xu. Why don't we get down to business first?"

Xiao Heng lowered his head slightly and chuckled in response.

In fact, he also felt very lucky to meet such a powerful person in times of crisis.

How could it not be a blessing for the Great Yan Dynasty?

"That's OK. The faucet is indoors anyway. But it will be more convenient to move at night." Xu Jiaojiao said, blinking her beautiful big eyes.

Xiao Heng raised his head slightly but did not speak. He was looking forward to what Xu Jiaojiao would say next.

"First, there are too many people in the daytime, and it's not convenient to just pull the water pipe. Besides, I have to open the door to do business. Hehe, I have to take care of the life here, don't you think?"

"Second, it's dark and windy at night. Kill, ah, it's more convenient to get things done."

Xu Jiaojiao made up two reasons casually. It's really too obvious to do such a thing in broad daylight. Isn't it dangerous to be seen?

He should be more aware of the pros and cons.

Xiao Heng raised his head, his eyes full of endless admiration. This woman is really smart enough to see through the obscurity.

Indeed, suddenly pulling water from another space in broad daylight would probably be suspected by some people.

This time when he went to Qingfeng County, his good brothers were not idle either.

"Boss Xu is very wise."

He spoke lightly, but it was particularly pleasant to hear, like the spring breeze, strong yet gentle.

No one in a TV series has ever been able to have such a voice, maybe it is born to be more special.

However, the more he said this, the more Xu Jiaojiao felt that this was a huge figurine praising her fiercely in front of her, which is a huge benefit for the two-dimensional world. She covered her face shyly: "Hehe, don't praise me anymore."

"I will go back first and come to see Boss Xu in the evening."

Xu Jiaojiao covered her face and couldn't stand this kind of verbal attack. This is more lethal than "I appeared in my dream."

Those who don't know would think that something will happen to them.

Xiao Heng disappeared in the mist, and Xu Jiaojiao closed the door and went back to open the store.

As soon as she opened the door, there were two people standing outside. They were her uncle and aunt who were good at eating and doing things.

Her mother had been taking care of them when she was alive. It was said that her uncle had a serious illness when he was a child, which made everyone in the family very worried.

Her mother was the elder sister in the family, so she took care of them more.

Fortunately, her mother was also a person who took the overall situation into consideration. Since she was born, she helped her uncle less, so her uncle complained about her mother a lot.

"Uncle, aunt, why are you here?"

Xu Jiaojiao's tone was very cold. She knew at a glance that the people who came were here to beg for money. She

also knew that what they wanted most was this shop. Not to mention running a grocery store, doing other business or directly selling it for money would all be good choices.

Before, when she was studying and working away from home and looking for someone to manage the store, they came over many times, using threats and bribes to coerce others.

Fortunately, the contract they signed was legally binding, so the man didn't dare to come casually. It wasn't

until she came back from her failed attempt to break into the big city and took over the store completely that her uncle and his friends came less often.

"Jiaojiao, how do you talk to your uncle? You're so rude! I heard from my brother that you bought a lot of rice, flour and oil yesterday. You must have a big business."

Uncle Chen Jinsheng walked in the store, looking around at the things on the shelves, and if he saw something delicious, he would take a few bags.

Aunt was also picking, and she was picking chocolate, which was more valuable among the snacks.

Walking further inside, Aunt Zhao Qiaoqiao saw the new air conditioner blowing air. Her eyes lit up immediately. She stuffed the chocolate into her bag, ran to the air conditioner, and stood in front of it to enjoy the cool breeze. "Jinsheng, look, Jiaojiao has really expanded her business and bought a new air conditioner. Our family is in need of such a cool one!"

Her eyes were full of greed and joy. She met her man's eyes, and the latter expressed understanding.

Xu Jiaojiao had long known what kind of character they were. They were not from the same family, so they would not enter the same door, but she was not someone to be messed with.

She crossed her arms and watched their performance quietly.

Chen Jinsheng stepped forward and said, "Jiaojiao, you have such a nice air conditioner in your small shop, others will definitely come to take advantage of it. Why don't I exchange my old air conditioner with you to protect you?"

He said it very seriously, as if he really cared about her.

Xu Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes. Some people are born thick-skinned.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? In fact, my life is really hard. If you want to give me the air conditioner at home, just give it to me directly. Why do you ask for a replacement? You, an adult, can really argue with a child like me?"

Sometimes, being young is a good shield.

As long as I am shameless, no one can scare me.

She even suspected that her uncle had a dog's nose. The new air conditioner was delivered, and this place came here, and he wanted to exchange the old air conditioner at home with her.

Bah, wishful thinking.

The two of them were refuted by a child, and they felt so embarrassed that they immediately said coldly: "Jiaojiao, when your mother was here, she kept it close to me. Besides, I didn't ask you directly for it. You are a child and can't grasp such a good thing. There is always an old lady sitting at your door. If she knows you bought an air conditioner, she will definitely come every day."

"Yes, Jiaojiao, think about how much the electricity bill is. Or if you really make a lot of money and don't need it, then you can completely give up ours and buy another one."

Chen Jinsheng and his wife sang the same tune, and they were comparable to others singing double reeds.

The two of them insisted that Xu Jiaojiao had money and could move back home directly.

Xu Jiaojiao did have the ability to buy another air conditioner, but what did she rely on?

When my mother was alive, she knew to stay close to her. They had received a lot of favors from my grandmother, but now they dared to ask a kid like me for things.

"Uncle, aunt, you are so generous, have you made a fortune? I bought this in installments, why don't you lend me some money so I can pay it back?"

Xu Jiaojiao covered her mouth in surprise, exposing her grievances and wanting to borrow money.

When she heard that she wanted to borrow money, Zhao Qiaoqiao's face immediately changed, and she shouted at the top of her voice: "Jiaojiao, your uncle and I don't have a job yet, how can we make money? You don't have money to buy an air conditioner in installments?"

As she said that, her eyes were inevitably filled with disdain.

She was also worried that Xu Jiaojiao would take money from their pockets, so she pulled the man away and walked out, "Auntie thought of other things, so I left first."

Xu Jiaojiao ran in front of them and opened her arms to block their way.

"What are you doing! You said you have something to do, and you didn't ask for your air conditioner. Don't be rude."

Xu Jiaojiao glanced at the snacks in their bags and pockets. Although they were not particularly valuable, she didn't need them now, but she just didn't want them to take them away for nothing!

"Aunt, uncle, you have to pay for these things. Those chocolates alone are worth dozens of dollars. You go to other stores to get things and then leave?"

Chen Jinsheng couldn't hold back this time. He opened his eyes wide, which were almost invisible due to obesity. "Xu Jiaojiao, I'm your uncle. You ask me for money? Are you crazy?"
