Chapter 88 is invalid.
Meanwhile, Wan Qiqi, on the mule cart, asked the same question, "How did you get the Lin family to agree to lend you mules?"
Chen Yongliang shook his head and replied, "Uncle Lin isn't home. My elder brother offered them 4 coins a day, and that's how Dazhuang's mother agreed."
"..." Wan Qiqi was very surprised that Chen Yongnian would actually use money to rent a mule.
This kind of idea should have come from Chen Yongxing and Chen Yongliang, not Chen Yongnian.
Four coins a day, which is about the same amount of time they would spend traveling by oxcart to and from the destination, is actually a good deal.
However, she wanted to know how Uncle Lin would react when he got home and found out that the mule had been borrowed, or whether he had lent it to her.
She felt that Chen Yongnian had dug a pit for himself, as well as for Lin Dazhuang and Lin Zhaodi.
Thinking of this, she recalled the night she returned from Guanshi Village and asked, "How is Zhaodi at home?"
Chen Yongliang tried hard to recall, and after a long while he said, "It seems to be fine. Dazhuang hasn't come to see me recently, so I don't know either!"
Wan Qiqi found the key point in his words.
Does Lin Dazhuang's absence from Chen Yongliang mean that he promised his father something to maintain the current harmony and peace?
She remembered that the day after Lin Zhaodi returned home, there were only rumors about her in the village, not about the Lin family. This meant that nothing major had happened after Lin Zhaodi returned home, otherwise it would have been the subject of gossip among the women.
The absence of commotion is a good thing in itself, but Wan Qiqi felt that something might be amiss with the Lin family's situation.
Seeing that his sister-in-law hadn't spoken, Chen Yongliang asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
This morning, he and his elder brother went to the Lin family to borrow a mule, but Lin Dazhuang seemed reluctant to talk to them.
If he weren't in a rush, he would definitely ask him what happened or if he had done something to upset him!
"It's nothing." Wan Qiqi sighed inwardly. It's best not to meddle in other people's business!
Mule carts are not as stable as oxcarts, and the ride is very bumpy.
The fields on both sides of the road are covered with withered yellow leaves, and when the wind blows, ripples appear on the water.
Gradually, the fields decreased and the trees increased.
As the mule cart passed by, it stirred up fallen leaves that swirled in the air before slowly falling back down.
As Wan Qiqi approached Hefeng Town, she said to Chen Yongliang, "We've delivered three families from the town to Baizhi Town to set up stalls today."
"Huh? Why aren't we setting up shop in Hefeng Town anymore?" Chen Yongliang was a little surprised, then frowned. "Sister-in-law, shall we go to another town? Not Baizhi Town."
"Is there a problem?" Wan Qiqi asked, somewhat puzzled.
She remembered that the closest town to Hefeng Town was Baizhi Town, which was also a bit richer than Hefeng Town, so there should be more buyers there.
If a cooperation agreement is reached, sales should be better than in Hefeng Town.
Chen Yongliang sighed. His sister-in-law was indeed shrewd in business, but her understanding of various villages and towns was truly lacking. "Sister-in-law, Guanshi Village belongs to Baizhi Town. If you go to Baizhi Town, it will probably be difficult to develop your business. It would be better to go to Shanfeng Town. Although it is farther away, we have mule carts!"
Wan Qiqi then remembered that there was also Guanshi Village.
She inquired about several nearby towns, and after comparing them, she found that Baizhi Town was the most suitable for development.
Shanfeng Town is not only farther away, but its terrain and economy are also far inferior to Baizhi Town, making it difficult to develop a business there.
No matter how you look at it, she still felt that Baizhi Town was more suitable. "Let's go and take a look today. If it doesn't work out, we'll find another place."
Chen Yongliang sighed again, knowing he couldn't go against his sister-in-law's wishes, so he could only agree.
He only hoped that he wouldn't run into anyone from Guanshi Village if he went today.
The mule cart drove into the town's narrow road.
The roads near the town have become smooth due to years of traffic, so even mule carts don't experience any bumps when traveling on them.
The two drove the mule cart into the town, through the bustling streets, and stopped in front of the "Guests from All Directions" shop.
As soon as we stopped, the shopkeeper at the entrance rushed over, "Go, go, you can't set up a stall at the entrance, get out of here!" He covered his nose and said, "What's that smell? Get out of here!"
Wan Qiqi watched the waiter's movements, then turned her head and met Chen Yongliang's gaze.
What's going on? Is this person trying to kick her out?
Chen Yongliang frowned and jumped off the mule cart.
Just as he was about to speak, the waiter took two steps back. "Don't come any closer, get out of here!"
Chen Yongliang was a little flustered, but still smiled and said, "Brother, I already talked to your boss yesterday, and we're going to talk about the honey grapefruit jam today!"
"Honey grapefruit jam? Never heard of it!" The waiter said, giving Wan Qiqi in the car a disdainful look. "If you don't leave, I'll call for help!"
Chen Yongliang was getting anxious. That wasn't what they said yesterday. "Brother, why don't you call your boss out so we can verify this in person?"
"Who do you think you are? You think you can see our boss?" The waiter scoffed, tossing the towel over his shoulder and coldly saying, "Get out of here! If you keep loitering at the door, we'll send you to see the authorities!"
Wan Qiqi noticed that the waiter's gaze towards Chen Yongliang was familiar, but the fact that he was being chased away could only mean that it was the boss's intention to renege on the agreed-upon cooperation!
Moreover, Chen Yongliang only had a verbal discussion with the other party yesterday, and the other party did not pay a deposit. The other party could easily deny it.
She got out of the car, glanced around, and her gaze settled on "Xiangmingxuan".
"Third brother, drive the mule cart to the open space and park it. I'll be right back." Wan Qiqi said, taking a jar of honey pomelo jam from the cart and turning to walk towards Xiangmingxuan.
"Pah! Going to Xiangmingxuan again? I'll kick you out!" The waiter spat, turned around, and went back to sit under the eaves, quietly waiting for Wan Qiqi to be kicked out.
