Chapter 141: Hiding Secrets



Chen Jia was a little anxious: "You are too impatient, little brother. We can still discuss it further!"

Jun Haoyue stopped and glanced at him.

"There's nothing to discuss about this. Zhu Xiaoling is the culprit, and our village is just taking the blame. If Boss Chen doesn't want to buy our wheat, there are others who will."

Anyway, the place is so big, it is impossible for Chen Jia to control it all.

Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Chen Jia gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I promise you!"

The two agreed on the details and decided to start the first transaction two days later.

In this way, the matter was resolved perfectly.

Xu Xingchen and the village chief watched this scene from the side, both with a hint of admiration in their eyes. It must be said that Jun Haoyue handled this matter well. If it were her, she would probably have started arguing with Chen Jia as soon as they met. She would not take the blame for Zhu Xiaoling!

After saying this, Chen Jia left Sanwan Village.

Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue were on their way home together, their eyes sparkling. "What price was just agreed upon?"

Jun Haoyue reported a number.

After hearing this, Xu Xingchen smiled with his eyes curved. This price was even higher than what they usually sold it for.

"Boss Chen is actually willing to cut off his flesh?"

Jun Haoyue was so moved by her smile that he smiled back, "Of course he didn't want to, but I told him that from now on, he'd be the only one selling the insecticide, and he'd have the final say on market pricing, so the profit would definitely be good. He's a businessman, so he thought about it carefully and agreed. The higher price is a commission to prevent us from selling to other companies."

Xu Xingchen couldn't help but applaud: "You are really awesome!"

She already thought Jun Haoyue was powerful, and after this incident, she put him in the position of a big boss!

Time passed quickly and the day for the agreed transaction arrived.

That morning, Xu Xingchen put all the insecticides on a cart and prepared to deliver them to Chen Jia.

When the villagers heard the news, they came over early to watch.

After everything was ready, Jun Haoyue patted the empty seat on the cart and said, "You can sit on it. I'll lead the horse in front. We should be there soon."

Xu Xingchen didn't bother to be polite and just sat down.

The two were about to set off when a voice came from not far away.

"Don't go, wait a moment!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Aunt Wang, who was panting. She patted her chest to calm down and said, "I want to go with you!"

Xu Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Aunt Wang is so free today?"

Aunt Wang said with a straight face: “I’m not idle, I just want to help out.

"Business, of course, involves a lot of twists and turns. I don't really understand them, but I know you need witnesses watching over you. The village chief is old, so it's not convenient for him to accompany you. I'm young, so I can go!"

After she said this, Xu Xingchen understood what was going on. She was just afraid that she would steal the silver.

Humph, judging others by oneself is a true portrayal of Aunt Wang!

Xu Xingchen was not afraid of his own shadow, so he naturally did not worry about Aunt Wang's little thoughts. He nodded and said, "If you are willing, then let's go together."

The other people in the village looked at each other and had no objection.

Aunt Wang was delighted to see this. She grabbed the insecticide on the cart and wanted to sit on it, but was stopped by Jun Haoyue.

He frowned slightly and said, "This cart can't bear your weight."

Aunt Wang's face flushed red. "Then, let Xu Xingchen get off! I'm an elderly person walking downstairs while she sits comfortably on the cart. Is that okay?"

Xu Xingchen nodded: "Then I'm really embarrassed, Aunt Wang, either you walk there, or we can find someone who can walk."

There are many young people in the village, and it would be the same if they went to bear witness.

But Aunt Wang was unhappy when she heard this. Would it be good for her if others went there?

Finally, she gritted her teeth and followed the cart to Chen's house.

Fortunately, Chen Jia's home was in town, not too far from Sanwan Village, so it didn't take long for them to reach their destination. Chen Jia had obviously remembered the appointment and was waiting at the door.

After the handover, he counted the amount of insecticide and calculated the total price.

Suddenly, Chen Jia lowered his voice and said, "Are you sure all the insecticides are here? No one else has them, right?"

Xu Xingchen nodded with a smile: "This is the only one, there are no other branches."

Chen Jia finally felt relieved.

"No, that's fine. Here, here are fifty taels of silver."

When Xu Xingchen took out the money, he specifically asked Aunt Wang to come over and look. But when this ruthless person saw so much silver, his eyes turned red and he snatched the silver away and put it in his pocket.

"The two children are relatively young and unstable, so let me take the money."

Seeing that Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue did not refuse, Chen Jia gave fifty taels to Aunt Wang.

The group returned to Sanwan Village.

On the way, maybe it was because the power of money made Aunt Wang's heart burn, she never complained about being tired and always looked energetic.

In contrast, Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue both remained silent.

Aunt Wang said excitedly, holding the money in her pocket: "How about we hide some of it?"

Anyway, the villagers didn't know how much insecticide was on the cart. If I told them a random number when I got home, they might even be secretly happy! The remaining money could be divided equally among the three of them. Wouldn't that be great? Aunt Wang grew more and more excited as she spoke, completely oblivious to the speechless and mocking looks from the other two.

She took their silence as an embarrassed acquiescence.

"They're back! Xingchen and Aunt Wang are back!"

When they returned to the village, someone took the lead and shouted this sentence. Suddenly, everyone in the village gathered around and asked about the situation of selling medicine.

What people are most concerned about is, of course, how much it was sold for!

Xu Xingchen was about to answer, but Aunt Wang spoke first.

"We've sold forty taels. Everyone, step back. We're going to divide the money! We'll split the thirty taels equally, and the remaining ten taels will be left for Xingchen and her cousin."

The villagers calculated the amount, thought it was a good amount, and agreed.

Only Xu Xingchen frowned slightly, looking like he was watching a show.

Aunt Wang, you are really awesome!

You took all the benefits, and I became the one with a bad reputation! She couldn't help but reached out and applauded Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, I really admire you."

When Aunt Wang saw that something was wrong, her face turned green.

Before she could say anything more, Xu Xingchen confessed the truth.

"We sold the insecticide for fifty taels of silver. On the way, Aunt Wang suggested that we split the forty taels equally among everyone, and the remaining ten taels between the three of us. My cousin and I thought it was inappropriate, so we ignored it. I didn't expect Aunt Wang to be so shameless. She took advantage of us and acted like she was doing it right."

As Xu Xingchen spoke, he sighed, "Aunt Wang, one should not be too greedy."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned subtle when they looked at Aunt Wang.
