Cai Xiaolian smiled and said, "Really?"
Manager Cheng was a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips and said, "Madam Cai, this isn't the place to talk business. Why don't we go inside and discuss it?"
Cai Xiaolian: "Excuse me, Manager Cheng, my husband went hunting in the mountains and isn't home. It's just my daughter and me here, so I can't invite you in. However, my parents-in-law are home, so shall we talk over there?"
Manager Cheng nodded: "That's fine, that's fine too!"
He couldn't be happier. He had always thought that Cai Xiaolian, this village woman, was difficult to talk to and especially loved to ask for exorbitant sums.
He had met the old man from the Gu family. Although he was from the countryside, he seemed easy to get along with and talk to. Perhaps it would be easier to talk to him there.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to get the contract we signed earlier!" Cai Xiaolian said, then slammed the door shut.
Manager Cheng: "..."
The women in the Gu family all seemed so fierce. In less than fifteen minutes, he was locked up like this twice, something that had never happened before.
Well, the eldest young master still has his eye on the Gu family's daughter, so we should still give him face.
He still needs to help the eldest son deliver the letter to the Gu family girl in a little while!
A short while later, Cai Xiaolian came out with the contract and led Manager Cheng to the old house.
Zhang was holding her child, preparing to go for a walk, when she saw Cai Xiaolian approaching with two strangers and leading a horse-drawn carriage. Her gossipy nature made her decide not to go for a walk.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Zhang asked curiously.
"It's nothing, sister-in-law, why don't you take Renren out to play? The weather is nice today, it's good to take Renren out to get some sunshine," Cai Xiaolian said.
"No! I'm just carrying Renren and taking a walk, hehe." Zhang followed Cai Xiaolian with the child in her arms, without even glancing at Manager Cheng.
The coachman naturally did not follow Manager Cheng into the house.
Grandma Gu was carrying a bamboo basket on her back and was about to go out. She had promised Grandma Xiao that she would accompany her into the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs. When she saw Manager Cheng, she knew that the Cheng family wanted to talk about the Drunken River Pavilion.
So she put down her basket and asked Zhang to go to Grandma Xiao's place, saying that she had something to do at home and couldn't go in the morning.
Zhang reluctantly went to deliver the message.
She missed another piece of gossip, and who knows if she'll hear anything useful after she returns with the news.
But she couldn't disobey her mother-in-law!
"Happy New Year, sir and madam!" Manager Cheng greeted the elderly couple with a smile.
"Happy New Year, Manager Cheng! What brings you here today?" Grandpa Gu asked casually.
You used to be my second son's business partner, but now your boss is a bastard who bullies my granddaughter. You still expect me to be nice to you and smile at you?
Dream on!
Manager Cheng was bewildered by Grandpa Gu's expression. Wasn't this the old man of the Gu family?
It's like she's a completely different person.
“Father, Mother, Manager Cheng said he was ordered to come and discuss the non-cooperation, and he also said he would compensate our family. My husband isn’t home, and I’m just a woman who doesn’t know anything. I’m afraid of being bullied or cheated, so I brought Manager Cheng with me. With more people, I’ll feel more confident!” Cai Xiaolian said bluntly.
"Don't be afraid, your mother is here." Grandma Gu looked coldly at Manager Cheng.
“You’re a child, a native of Sanchakou Village, what are you afraid of? He’s not going to eat you, is he?” Grandpa Gu’s gaze toward Manager Cheng was also very unfriendly.
Manager Cheng: "..."
