Chapter 136 To hell with customs



Because he discovered that Wang Qian was angrily packing up the remaining things.

While tidying up, he called out to someone nearby, "Zheng Shuang, could you please help me load that thing onto the tractor?"

"Okay, Brother Qian!"

Zheng Shuang responded and immediately helped move the things.

"Xiao Qian, what are you doing?"

Wang Yuanguang came over and said with difficulty, "One generation, one house. You built the house, so you and Xiaoyu can live there with Xiaonian. It would be inconvenient for your mother and me to live with you, not to mention that people would gossip."

Their custom here is that trees branch out as they grow.

Once a child grows up, gets married, and starts their own family, they have to establish another household and live separately from their parents.

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to follow this custom.

However,

To hell with customs! We're family, we have to live together!

Wang Qian's voice was firm as iron, "You raised me with great difficulty, and now that I'm finally able to earn money to support my family, how can I abandon you?"

"But……"

"It's settled then!"

Before Wang Yuanguang could say anything more, he was immediately interrupted by Wang Qian's resolute voice.

The two elderly people looked at each other, their eyes glistening with tears.

They were just talking about customs because they didn't want to put Wang Qian in a difficult position.

Otherwise, who wouldn't want to live under the same roof as their children, have a happy family, and be surrounded by grandchildren?

"Mom, hurry up and pack your clothes, let's move over together!" Wang Qian urged.

Lu Aihua snapped out of her daze and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go get ready right away!"

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears and went inside.

While moving, Wang Qian did not neglect the marinating process of the roasted green pepper sauce.

The dozen or so people we hired earlier were doing their jobs in a routine manner every day.

Although only the initial steps have been completed, the large quantity makes up for it. If this batch is successfully pickled, it can at least supply the normal sales of several branches, instead of having to wait several days like it has been recently, when they only sell for ten minutes after opening.

Because there were enough people to help, by 5 p.m., almost everything in the old house had been moved to the new house.

"I completely forgot to buy all the furniture!"

After moving into the new house, Wang Qian realized that there were quite a few things missing.

The living room looks empty because there's no sofa or TV.

The bed was moved from the old house; it was made of wood by his father.

There were no pots, pans, or utensils in the kitchen either.

"Just use what we moved from our hometown!"

Lu Aihua said, "We've already spent so much money building this new house, there's no need to buy anything more."

"Mom, it's okay!"

Wang Qian comforted him, saying, "Now that we've made money, our quality of life definitely needs to improve; otherwise, making more money is meaningless."

"Well... okay!"

Under Wang Qian's insistence, Lu Aihua had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Wang Qian went to the county town early in the morning.

"Brother-in-law, you're here so early today?"

As soon as Wang Qian arrived at the Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce specialty store, Lin Chao and Yang Shenglong immediately came to greet him.

"I have a lot to do today, so I have to come early!"

After answering Lin Chao's question, Wang Qian looked at Yang Shenglong and asked, "Brother Long, do you have anything special planned for you next?"

"No, what's wrong?" Yang Shenglong asked in return.

"If you're free, could you please buy some furniture for me and take it back?"

"sure!"

Yang Shenglong agreed without hesitation, adding, "Just tell me if you need anything in the future. Don't say things like 'it's a bother' or 'it's a bother.' I feel embarrassed by your politeness."

"Alright then, thank you for your help, Brother Long!"

As he spoke, Wang Qian pulled a piece of paper out of his bag, on which was written down all sorts of things he wanted to buy.

This is the shopping list that he and Lin Xiaoyu made last night.

In addition to various furniture items, there is also a menu of drinks and dishes needed for the full-month celebration four days later.

Since it was held at home, the villagers helped with all the cooking, washing dishes, and other tasks.

But buying things is quite troublesome; if he does it himself, it will take at least a few days.

"Oh, right, here's five thousand yuan. If it's not enough, just let me know and I'll give you more!"

As he said this, Wang Qian took out a large wad of cash from his bag.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqian, I'll definitely get this done for you!"

Yang Shenglong hurriedly made a promise.

He always felt guilty towards Wang Qian.

Last time, I intended to help, but I ended up making things worse. The problem wasn't solved, and instead, Wang Qian had to run around cleaning up the mess.

Now, Wang Qian is giving him so much money to buy things.

This is absolute trust!

Otherwise, if it were someone with ulterior motives, even if they ended up buying it for someone else, they might still pocket some of it.

After taking the money and shopping list, Yang Shenglong drove away in his tractor.

That tractor was the one they had bought from Wang Dalin before.

During this period, Zhang Tiezhu was helping him build a house, and he often needed to use a tractor to transport various materials.

Now that the house is built, Zhang Tiezhu naturally returned the tractor.

Since Yang Shenglong is needed to help buy various furniture items, it would be much more convenient to have him drive a tractor.

"Brother-in-law, you've come at the perfect time! I heard the Liu family's shop is opening today!"

After Yang Shenglong left, Lin Chao said anxiously, "I wonder how much they plan to sell it for per bottle? How does it taste compared to ours?"

"Why don't we try it later and see?"

Wang Qian waved his hand dismissively, "I came to the county town today to resolve this matter."

"So how do you plan to solve this?" Lin Chao asked.

"We'll go buy a bottle or two when they open."

"Brother-in-law, do you really want to patronize their business?"

"Of course not!"

Wang Qian shook his head. "The saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Aren't they copying our roasted green pepper sauce? Let's see how well they copy it before we devise a countermeasure."

Although the Liu family shamelessly imitated them, there were countless examples of imitations that surpassed the originals.

As long as it's done well enough, consumers don't care what brand it is or whether it's authentic.

So, besides wanting to taste it for himself, he also wanted to see how many people would buy the Liu family's imitation roasted green pepper sauce.

With his and Lin Chao's patient waiting, it wasn't long before the sound of firecrackers exploding came from not far away.

"We're open for business!"

Lin Chao stood up abruptly. "Should we go take a look now?"

"No need, let's go up to the roof!"

With that, Wang Qian picked up a stool and walked towards the rooftop.

Although the houses on this street are old, they are still single-story houses, and even two-story ones.

The roof is quite wide, offering a good view. Sitting here, one can have a clear view of the Liu family's newly opened shop.

Lin Chao also came along, and to solve the problem, he even brought a box of cooked peas.
