Seeing that the atmosphere had improved, Jiang Jiuniang smiled and invited everyone into the shop for a visit. It didn't matter whether they bought anything or not; everyone who entered the shop today would receive a small gift for the grand opening.
Upon hearing that there were gifts, everyone forgot everything else and rushed into the store to collect their small gifts.
Jiang Jiuniang pulled Sun back home. Sun was a little uneasy and asked, "Third brother's wife, was I too impulsive just now?"
She was caught up in her emotions and didn't think too much. She already had a grudge against Li Shi, and today was the opening day. Li Shi deliberately came over to annoy people. She cursed without thinking too much. As a result of not controlling herself, the third son's wife had to deal with people again and again and finally win back the customers' impression of them.
"It's alright, it's my fault. She had caused trouble at home before, but I didn't tell you so as not to bother you. I didn't expect her to still have such a bad intention and come to cause trouble on a day like today."
Jiang Jiuniang comforted her, not thinking that Sun had done anything wrong. After all, Li was indeed hated, and Sun's scolding today was relatively mild.
Even so, Sun still felt somewhat guilty. She had been trained to remain calm and composed all these years, so why did she break down as soon as she saw Li?
"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it, Ms. Sun. Go back and find a chance to teach her a good lesson, so she won't keep showing up in front of us all the time."
Jiang Jiuniang had already figured out what to do and would make a proper plan after she finished these busy days.
Hearing her say that, Mrs. Sun felt much of her resentment subside.
Years ago, those unbearable memories flooded back, and Sun could still feel a burning hatred.
Those past experiences cannot be erased, so after her family moved to Jingzhou and their lives improved, she never thought of looking for her family.
Old Lu and his group, who were in several other shops, were unaware of the farce unfolding here. They gathered together for dinner that evening, discussing business matters.
Overall, it was much better than they had expected. Many people signed up for membership cards that day, and Old Man Lu was so happy that he had a drink with Lu Baichuan.
Mrs. Sun, growing increasingly angry, said, "Stop drinking! I'm feeling unwell. You need to think of something."
Old Lu was a little confused. Why wasn't he happy after making money?
Nevertheless, he still asked, "What's wrong?"
“I saw Li today. She came to cause trouble for me and tried to take advantage of our family.”
"Did you already know she was still alive, but you never mentioned it to me?"
Sun transferred her resentment to her old man, and instantly felt much better.
Old Lu hadn't expected Li to come to the shop, but he wasn't too upset. He said calmly, "She's insignificant. Talking to her will only ruin my mood. Just treat her like a clown from now on and ignore her."
Old Lu knew that Sun was concerned, so after he finished speaking, he added, "Anyway, we're leaving soon, and we won't see each other many times in this life. Don't ruin your health over someone like this; it's not worth it."
At this moment, Jiang Jiuniang whispered to Lu Baichuan about what had happened that day. Lu Baichuan said, "I checked before. Li's eldest grandson, Sun Daniu, owes money at the gambling den and has recently disappeared. The gambling den is looking for him everywhere. We can help him."
"That's a good idea. We should have kept to ourselves, but she insisted on getting involved, so let's help her out."
The couple exchanged a glance, the meaning in their eyes understood only by themselves.
"Don't worry, Mother. She didn't achieve her goal, so she'll definitely come back. We'll give her a big gift then."
Sure enough, Li came to visit again a few days later, reported by one of the village patrolmen.
Everyone knew that the Lu family and the Li family had a conflict. They originally wanted to drive the person away directly, but they still sent someone to ask the Lu family what they thought.
Jiang Jiuniang put on a helpless look and said very politely, "Please let her in. Some things need to be made clear. We can't let her keep coming here."
The villager who brought the news nodded, turned and left. A little while later, Li arrived, this time with her eldest grandson, which made it easier for the Lu family to carry out their plans.
Only Madam Yu went to the shop today; everyone else was there, sitting in the main room, watching Madam Li bring in her grandson, Sun Daniu.
Sun Daniu is eighteen years old this year, long past the age of getting married, but his family has no money and he does not have a proper job, so no one wants to marry him.
As he walked in, his eyes darted around restlessly, and a greedy look even appeared on his face, as if everything was about to be his.
At this moment, a young maid came to serve tea to her masters. As she walked past Sun Daniu, a delicate fragrance wafted by, and Sun Daniu closed his eyes in blissful intoxication.
Once he establishes himself here, won't all these maids try to curry favor with him?
When Li came last time, only Jiang Jiuniang and Gou'er were at home. They had never seen such a scene with maids and servants everywhere. She was both jealous and shocked, but she tried her best to remain calm. She even noticed that the little maid had no intention of pouring tea for her and her eldest grandson, but her expression did not change.
"I remember I made it very clear last time, what exactly do you want by coming here time and time again?"
Old Lu spoke in a deep voice, his face full of disdain.
"Brother-in-law..."
When Li opened her mouth, Old Man Lu immediately interrupted, "Don't try to establish a connection."
Li was somewhat embarrassed, but still smiled and said, "I know that all the mistakes are mine, and it is right that you do not forgive me. But look at Da Niu. He is the eldest grandson of the Sun family. He is so old, but he cannot get married because his family is poor. I hate him! Today, I am willing to put aside my old face and beg you to arrange a job for Da Niu for the sake of our past relationship."
“Da Niu is a promising kid. You don’t need to give him a high position. Just make him a small manager, that will do…”
The Lu family members: ? ? ?
Where does one's future lie?
What does it mean to casually become a minor manager?
This Li family member knows how to ask for an exorbitant amount.
Before the Lu family could speak, Sun Daniu volunteered, "I've seen the world, so being a small manager won't be a problem for me. I'll definitely manage the people under me obediently. Just keep an eye on me."
Sun rolled her eyes. This Sun Daniu was spoiled by Li Shi and there was no need to save him. She didn't even want to talk to them, so she gave Old Man Lu a look.
Old Man Lu understood and looked at Sun Daniu, asking, "Your name is Sun Daniu, and you're the eldest grandson of the Sun family, right?"
Sun Daniu thought that Old Man Lu was going to assign him a position just by asking a casual question, so he nodded repeatedly: "It's me, it's me, Grandpa Lu. You used to hold me when I was a child. It's only been a few years since we last met, and you don't recognize me? You really are a big shot with a bad memory."
His words were sarcastic, but Old Man Lu didn't care at all. He turned his head and shouted inside, "Sun Daniu is right here. Come out and take him away."
