Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

"Okay, the tea is finished. It's time for me to go back. How much is it?" Yuan Jiahao was about to pay the bill, not wanting to owe Lin Ran any favors.

"It's just crude tea. Don't worry about it, uncle. I must be used to drinking top-quality tea. How does it feel when you occasionally taste tea from the market?"

"It's okay, but crude tea is still crude tea and cannot become the best tea."

"The raw materials are the same, but the processing techniques are different. But does uncle know that in department stores and supermarkets, packaged tea is more expensive and better than ordinary tea?"

"Hahahaha." Yuan Jiahao laughed, "Interesting, then I want to see how rough tea is packaged into top-quality tea. Fangzhou, Qianyun, let's go back."

After leaving the handicraft store and returning home, Yuan Qianyun was restricted again.

Mother Yuan asked with a smile: "I think that young man is pretty good."

"Compared to ordinary young people, they are indeed somewhat capable, but the solidification of class over several generations cannot be overcome by hard work!"

Hearing this, Mother Yuan also laughed: "It's true that you said such things again."

But he heard that Yuan Jiahao changed his mind a lot about Lin Ran.

"I hope he will keep his word. After all, I can't lock Qianyun at home every day." Yuan Jiahao put on his suit and said, "The company still has something to do, so I'll go back to work first."

After saying that, he returned to his original serious look.

……

In the Shengshi Craft Shop, Yang Jianlong asked anxiously: "Godfather, what did Uncle Yuan ask you just now?"

"We just talked about some store planning. What's wrong? Why are you nervous?" Lin Ran couldn't help but find it funny. He wasn't nervous at all. Why was Yang Jianlong nervous?

"I was thinking that if we build a good relationship with Uncle Yuan, we might be able to attract more customers and franchisees through the exhibition next year." Yang Jianlong said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking really nervous.

"Maybe." If his store cannot be built, Yuan Jiahao will definitely not help him, so there is no need to consider the exhibition for the time being.

But today was quite magical for Lin Ran.

He also felt a little tired, so he found a rickshaw in front of the shop and took him back to the village.

When I got home, I found a child playing in my yard, not a child from the village.

When I saw him, I quickly ran to his house.

Lin Ran felt a little puzzled. When he walked into the courtyard, he found someone in the living room, seemingly talking to his mother.

But as soon as I got close to my home, I smelled smoke.

Three people Lin Ran didn't know were sitting in the living room, the older of them smoking cigarettes.

Sitting next to him was a young man, older than Lin Ran, and the other was a woman about the same age as his mother. The child just now was hiding in her arms and looking at Lin Ran in fear.

"Xiao Ran, you're back!" Mother Lin was entertaining them. When she saw Lin Ran coming back, she immediately called her son over and proudly introduced to the middle-aged man: "Brother, this is my son Lin Ran."

Then he winked at Lin Ran: "Hurry up and call me uncle."

Second uncle?

Lin Ran's memory of this title was blurry.

But when I saw them again, I recalled some bad things.

After the family suffered a tragedy and needed money, her mother took Lin Ran to visit distant relatives one by one to borrow money.

Several other relatives were okay. Although their faces were ugly, they still gave some money to help.

Only the second uncle not only did not lend him money, but instead ridiculed them and kicked them out of the house!

Now I know that I have this relative!

Lin Ran asked knowingly: "Mom, why didn't I know I had a second uncle?"

"It's like this. They are not your biological uncles, but the sons of your grandfather's brother. They are both older than your mother. This one is the second child, so he is called the second uncle." Mother Lin explained patiently.

"Oh, hello, second uncle." Lin Ran greeted perfunctorily.

In his previous life, he had shown him his second uncle, and now he felt that something was strange.

When my father's accident happened, not a single relative could be found, and no one could lend him money.

It's good now, suddenly a second uncle appears.

It’s true that rich people have distant relatives in the mountains, but poor people have no one to care about in the busy city!

How ironic!

"Hey! My dear nephew, come and sit down." He didn't dislike Lin Ran for being too polite. He patted the bench next to him enthusiastically and asked Lin Ran to sit over.

Mother Lin laughed: "Second brother, I'm going to cook now. Xiaoran, you help greet the guests."

"Go ahead, we like spicy food, don't make it too light, add more oil." The second uncle's son said unceremoniously.

"Hey, I know!" Mother Lin agreed readily.

But Lin Ran was unhappy. He said with a straight face: "Mom, where does my family get a lot of oil? Oil is in limited supply."

I usually don’t bother to add extra oil when I eat, so why do they have to point fingers when they come?

"Nephew, the limited supply is mainly for ordinary people like us. For a big boss like you, how much oil you want to buy is not a matter of words." The second uncle helped him from the side.

It seems that he has always been a fan, he doesn't blush when he speaks, and he speaks in a serious and clear manner.

"It's okay, I'll pay attention." Mother Lin agreed and went to the kitchen to work.

Lin Ran also recalled the strange things about his second uncle in his mind.

The second uncle's name is Yuan Guofu, and he lives in Shangyuan Village, which is adjacent to Xialin Village, but the two villages do not have close contact.

Their family is famous for eating and drinking, and has everything.

I used to work in the production team, so I could take advantage of small opportunities.

Now that the rural areas have changed to the contract system, their family has contracted a lot of land in the village and is relatively wealthy.But they were used to being domineering in the production team, and they didn't want to go there after planting the land for a few days.

They can only subcontract it to others and make a living by collecting land rent.

The family has some money, but not much, and they talk all the time but don't do anything practical.

Lin Ran was not interested in communicating with them and said: "Okay, second uncle and aunt, if nothing happens, I will go back to the room to rest first. You guys can sit and smoke slowly, eat sugar and tea as you like, and have fun."

I felt like I had nothing to say to them, so I wanted to find a reason to leave early.

"Wait a minute, my dear nephew, I heard that Shengshi Craftsmanship, which is very popular in the city, is your shop?" Finally, he came up with the idea and directly stated his purpose.

Alas, because Lin’s father and Lin’s mother were simple farmers, after learning about their son’s work, they immediately shared the good news with their friends.

In the countryside, there is little information from the outside world, but gossip spreads very quickly.

It only took a few days for the news to reach the ears of distant relatives.

It also proved that Lin Ran's guess was correct, these people's motives were impure!

"I'm just a shareholder, what's wrong?" Lin Ran asked.

Yuan Guofu smiled even more exaggeratedly: "I understand, the shareholder is the boss of the boss. That's it, look at your brother, he is in his 20s, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and he is not suitable for farming. Can you let him go to your store? Here, help manage the staff?"
