325 Burned down
âShopkeeper Cheng, I advise you not to mention young master Cheng. The childâs grandmother and mother might still be able to talk to you nicely.â Grandpa Gu knew his wife well. She was on the verge of exploding in her calm state.
âShopkeeper Cheng, letâs talk about ending our cooperation!â Cai Xiaolian said, suppressing her anger.
âAlright then!â With a sigh, shopkeeper Cheng took out the original contract and a new one, saying, â this is the new contract from the owner. Lady Cai, you can take a look. In the future, as long as miss niannian makes a new dish, you can sell it to the drunken River Restaurant for double the price. The Dong family bought the two banquet menus and four single dishes that miss Gu Nian launched before the new year for 100 silver coins. The dishes can be sold at higher prices in the future.â
also, the owner said that heâs willing to continue to help Lady Cai sell the laundry and skincare sets. This time, the owner also asked me to come and buy ten sets. Shopkeeper Cheng continued.
âShopkeeper Cheng, I would like to ask, if I donât want to sell the sets and sign the new contract, will Lord Cheng send people to arrest me? Or secretly fight against our family and fix our family?â Cai Xiaolian asked with a smile that wasnât a smile.
âHow can this be? Our Lord is the most upright and outspoken. Even if the business doesnât work out, thereâs still benevolence and righteousness. Moreover, this is a matter between Lady Cai and the owner, so Daren will not side with the owner.â Shopkeeper Cheng hurriedly explained.
âThatâs good! Go back and tell your boss that weâre not doing any more washing and protective equipment because weâre worried that the county magistrateâs family will take revenge on us, so weâre just doing nothing and farming at home. As for the food, my familyâs eldest daughter has yet to recover from the shock. Iâm sorry, I canât help the drunken River Restaurant anymore.â Cai Xiaolian spread her hands.
hehe, Lady Cai, hehe! shopkeeper Cheng didnât know whether to laugh or cry. He asked, â if I said just now that Lord Cheng wanted to help, would Lady Cai Be sold to the owner? â
âNo! We donât even have any stock, how can we sell it? I just wanted to see if Lord Cheng is as upright as the people say. It seems that Lord Cheng is just as the rumors say!â Cai Xiaolian laughed sarcastically.
If he didnât understand her sarcasm, shopkeeper Cheng didnât need to work anymore.
He then looked at the old couple. Their expressions were indifferent, and he felt a little stifled.
It seemed that they couldnât continue the discussion today.
alright, since thatâs the case, Iâll give you the money for miss Gu Nianâs food. I hope Lady Cai can write me a receipt. Shopkeeper Cheng stopped trying to persuade him.
Grandpa Gu immediately wrote a receipt for the money.
He knew that his second daughter-in-law was learning how to read and write, but there were many words that she probably didnât know how to write yet, so he took the initiative to help.
Cai Xiaolian knew how to write, but she wasnât used to writing with a brush. When Grandpa Gu was done, she stamped it with her palm.
It would be a waste not to take this silver.
then thereâs no need for these three contracts to exist. Please take a look. If there are no mistakes, Iâll burn them. Shopkeeper Cheng pointed to the three contracts on the table and said.
Cai Xiaolian picked it up and looked at it. It was indeed signed by them before.
Let it burn!
If they burned it, they wouldnât even have any restrictions.
He thought they would keep the contract, but they didnât.
However, when she thought about the new contract that shopkeeper Cheng had mentioned and the fact that Cheng Rui had even written an apology letter to Gu Nian, she could guess that the family had not given up on Gu Nianâs ability to make money.
Didnât they all want to cook the rice before?
