After the two men had been gone for a while, Jiang Wenhan and Mr. Yang hurriedly went out into the yard to check on the potted plant. They found that the plant was perfectly normal and showed no signs of having withered so badly.
Mr. Yang sighed, "Cousin, it seems this couple is no ordinary person. You should be careful when dealing with them."
Jiang Wenhan nodded and hummed in agreement.
Mr. Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go back and continue drinking tea."
Jiang Wenhan couldn't drink anymore. "Cousin, I'm sorry to have bothered you today. I'll head back to Shangbei Town now."
He has a shop and a villa in Shangbei Town.
Mr. Yang didn't try to keep him, but only told him not to do anything wrong.
Jiang Wenhan was silent for a moment, then nodded, hummed in agreement, and left.
Sometimes, he wouldn't care about so many things for the sake of profit, but today, he has to start thinking about it.
He truly hadn't expected Li Mai to be so capable. He didn't know how she did it, but he was certain that this woman could take a life with a wave of her hand.
No wonder this woman caught my attention the first time we met.
However, her husband was a mystery. He was a man of few words and seemed to be an accessory to Li Mai, yet his presence was impossible to ignore.
No wonder Madam Yu was willing to give her half of the profits from Jin Yu Ge.
If she's willing to create value for herself and earn more money, I'm willing to give her half of the profits.
No, his past self would never have done that, but at this moment, he thought he would.
Moreover, he remembered something: Zhang had planted several people in her own family, and she probably already knew all about it.
It seems we need to bring her back quickly. If she goes to the Zhang family again, she might turn against our own people.
Jiang Wenhan discovered that Li Mai was very protective of her own. She had brought up that matter twice, presumably as a warning. If he didn't change, no one knew what might happen next.
If one of your own people is controlled and turns against you, revealing what's going on on your side, then you'll be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wenhan instructed the driver to travel back to Xiabei Town overnight, instead of going to Shangbei Town.
After Li Mai and Zhou Quan left the Yang residence, they walked along, listening to what Jiang Wenhan would say.
Upon hearing that he had only spoken a few words to Mr. Yang before leaving Qing Shi Town, Zhou Quan smiled faintly and told Li Mai about it.
Li Mai chuckled twice.
“I wasn’t sure it was him at first, but I managed to trick him out of it with just a few words.” Li Mai grinned at Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan reached out and ruffled her hair. "Our Xiaomai is so smart."
“No, it was your husband’s words that really reassured me,” Li Mai said with a smile, praising him as well.
Zhou Quan chuckled.
"Should we go back to the shop, or go somewhere for a walk?" Zhou Quan asked Li Mai.
“Let’s go to the market and see if they sell fish. I suddenly have a craving for fish,” Li Mai said.
"Okay, let's go!" The two strolled to the market entrance and indeed saw someone selling fish.
The two bought five fish and carried them towards the mansion.
When they passed by the place where Xu Shun used to set up his stall, they saw that someone else had taken over Xu Shun's stall. The two of them were silent for a while, guessing that the brother-in-law's leg was almost healed.
"How about we go see my brother-in-law this afternoon?" Li Mai asked.
Before they opened the shop, they went there once and learned that the Xu family had already separated. The two elders of the Xu family had forcibly separated, and the two elders had gone with the eldest sister and brother-in-law. They didn't say anything, but just bought them a lot of food and drinks.
The fact that the Xu family elders had the courage to divide the family property while the old man was still alive has certainly made them famous, and indeed, this has brought peace to their home.
When they arrived, the walls of the three houses had already been built, and the three families went through their own gates and went about their own lives.
The two elders were very happy living with their eldest sister and brother-in-law.
While her brother-in-law was unable to go out to sell goods, the eldest sister and her brother-in-law hired two more people from their village to weave bamboo products for storage, planning to sell them once her brother-in-law recovered.
After the eldest brother-in-law separated from the family, he had his own bamboo workshop, but no bamboo. He spent money to buy some from his two older brothers and hired people to cut it down for his own use.
Meanwhile, his brother-in-law also hired people to plant a bamboo grove in a field closest to his home, which he had followed.
Anyway, due to the elders' favoritism, the eldest sister's family received much more money than the other two families. Taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't go out, the eldest sister's husband asked his brothers in the village who were on good terms with him to help hire people and get everything done.
After Li Mai and Zhou Quan learned about this, they also looked at their brother-in-law with new respect. The Xu family elders were indeed sharp-eyed, and their brother-in-law was indeed the most shrewd of the three brothers.
“Husband, tell me, if we help my brother-in-law buy a shop in town, where would be the best location?” Li Mai asked.
She had thought before that since her brother-in-law had been selling bamboo weaving products at a stall for so many years, he could open his own shop and have a certain customer base.
Zhou Quan thought for a moment, "I think the street near Jin Yu Ge is fine too, there are quite a lot of people there."
"Shall we go see if there are any shops?" Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Li Mai sent the fish into her spatial dimension with a thought and pulled Zhou Quan toward that place.
"Let's go ask Manager Bai first. We won't be able to tell anything if we go by ourselves." Some families are currently using their shops, but they may also be considering selling them, but you can't tell from the outside.
Shopkeeper Bai was happy to see the two of them arrive, as it meant business was coming his way.
"Are you two looking to buy a mansion or a shop?" Manager Bai greeted them with a smile.
"A shop, on the street of Jin Yu Ge, are there any shops for sale? Shops selling bamboo weaving supplies. One-story or two-story is fine," Zhou Quan said.
"Yes, there are two shops for sale. Would you like to take a look?" Manager Bai nodded.
Business is not going well for him, so he decided to quit and go to Yongzhou City to stay with his son.
"Are there mansions for sale in town too?" Li Mai asked.
When Manager Bai asked that question, Li Mai knew that someone must want to sell the mansion.
"Yes, the owners of these two shops, their son has a big business in Yongzhou City, and the parents have been guarding the business and their wealth here, unwilling to give it up. But now business is not good, and they can only guard the shops and can't see their son and grandson, so they finally decided to sell them."
Li Mai nodded, understanding. "Then let's go take a look at them all. If possible, I'll buy them all."
Upon hearing this, Manager Bai was pleased and happily led the two of them to see the mansion and the shop.
The mansion is quite large, located in the north of the town. The shops are also nice, and it's not far from Doctor Niu's clinic.
This location is good, I'll buy it.
In just over an hour, the young couple bought some more assets on their way home.
Zhou Quan exclaimed, "Money really does make things easier!"
