A strong farm girl is busy getting rich
Chapter 45 Landlord Liu Arrives
"But, Yuyao, will your family agree? And your sister already has someone in her heart, so she will definitely not agree!"
Gu Ru said with a frown, somewhat surprised that Liu Yuyao would have such an idea.
Liu Yuyao said: "I will convince my mother. As for my sister, since ancient times, parents' orders and matchmakers' words have always been the final word. We are doing this for her own good, and she has no choice but to agree."
"Oh!"
Gu Ru responded, feeling that something was wrong but couldn't put her finger on it.
In fact, Gu Ru’s nature is not bad, but she tends to be unprincipled most of the time.
She thought for a moment and then said, "Then you should talk to your parents first. If they agree, I will talk to the eldest lady about this."
"it is good!"
Liu Yuyao responded with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
When dusk fell, Shen Qingfeng drove the ox cart back to the hot pot restaurant.
A thin layer of snow had accumulated on the road, and under the moonlight, it was crystal clear, and the street was as bright as day.
Shen Qingfeng stood at the door and stamped the snow off his feet before walking into the store.
Looking at the happy expression on his face, Shen Qingqian guessed that the matter must have been accomplished!
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Qingfeng came in, he said, "Big sister, little sister, we bought a total of ten acres of land, all good land, and spent seventy taels of silver."
Shen Qingqian had inquired and found out that the better farmland in the village cost eight taels of silver per mu.
Shen Qingfeng bought ten acres of land for only seventy taels, which was really not expensive.
Shen Qingfeng added: "The village chief will go to the government office tomorrow to transfer the ownership and get the land deed for us. Once it's done, send it to our store!"
The hotpot restaurant had only been open for less than a month, but the three sisters had already made money and bought land. They were so happy!
At noon the next day, the village chief came and gave them the deed to ten acres of land.
Shen Qingfeng invited the village chief to eat hotpot in the restaurant and opened a bottle of good wine to entertain him.
The village chief had heard from his son that this hot pot was delicious and had long wanted to try it.
Today, Shen Qingfeng insisted on keeping him, so he didn't hesitate and sat down to eat and drink.
This is the time when the hot pot restaurant has the most customers.
The village chief looked at the booming business in the store and only praised them for their abilities.
The village chief ate and drank his fill, and when he left, he looked very satisfied.
Two days later, Shen Qingqian planned to go back to the village with Shen Qingfeng to see the land they bought and plan the construction of the greenhouse.
Shen Qinglan also wanted to go, but once she left, Liangzi would follow. Not only was it cold on the road, but the hot pot restaurant also needed someone to look after it, so it would be a waste to leave Ah Fu alone.
Shen Qinglan had no choice but to give up and stay to look after the store.
Shen Qingfeng harnessed the ox cart and was about to leave with Shen Qingqian when a rare guest suddenly came to the hot pot restaurant. It turned out to be Landlord Liu!
Shen Qingfeng was still very respectful to Landlord Liu, so he quickly invited him in and served him tea.
Landlord Liu smiled and said, “I heard that your sisters opened a shop in town, so I asked around and found this place.
This shop is great, Qingfeng, you are a capable person."
"Uncle Liu, we opened a hot pot restaurant. So far, business is pretty good. As for the future, we don't know yet." Shen Qingfeng said modestly.
When Ah Fu heard that it was Landlord Liu who came, he hurried out to greet him.
No matter what Mrs. Liu and Liu Yuyao were like, Landlord Liu was still very good to them.
"It's Ah Fu! You've gained a lot of weight. It must be a good job here, right?"
Ah Fu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "It's really good here. Thank you for your concern, Master."
Landlord Liu nodded and said, "That's good. Qingfeng and I have something to discuss, so you go ahead and do your work!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ah Fu agreed and did not go to the kitchen again. He ran straight back to the backyard.
Shen Qingqian and Shen Qinglan also stood up and said, "Uncle Liu, you guys talk, we sisters are busy too."
Landlord Liu called them over and said, "Hey, you two don't have to avoid me. You should also listen to what I am going to say next."
Shen Qingqian and Shen Qinglan looked at each other and sat down again.
Shen Qingfeng said: "Uncle Liu, tell me, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Landlord Liu got straight to the point and said, "I have always known about you and Shuyao. I wonder what your plan is?"
Shen Qingfeng was stunned. He didn't expect that Landlord Liu came to ask this question! And he asked it so directly!
Shen Qingqian and Shen Qinglan remained silent, wanting to hear what Landlord Liu would say next.
Shen Qingfeng quickly recovered from his surprise, and without avoiding the question, he said seriously: "I like Shuyao, and I want to marry her.
Before, I didn't dare to propose marriage, fearing that I couldn't give Shuyao a good life. Now, with this shop, at least Shuyao won't have to suffer with me.
If Uncle Liu agrees, I will prepare and come to propose marriage in two days."
Landlord Liu nodded and said, "Well, he is a daring child. I came here today just for this matter.
Two days ago, my wife found a marriage for Shuyao. They were with a family named Gu in the town.
I have also inquired about it. Although the Gu family is a wealthy family in town, the eldest son Gu is a fool, with the IQ of a child."
Shen Qingfeng felt sick when he heard what Landlord Liu said. He asked, "What about Shuyao? How is Shuyao?"
Shen Qingfeng knew that the fact that Landlord Liu came to see him today meant that Liu Shuyao would definitely not agree to the marriage proposal from the Gu family.
But with Madam Liu's tyranny, she will definitely force Shuyao, so Shuyao's life will definitely not be easy!
"Ugh!"
Landlord Liu sighed and said, "Shuyao looks gentle, but she is stubborn at heart. Naturally, she will definitely not agree.
She has been going against her mother these days, saying that if she wants to marry, she wants to marry you.
Shuyao has always been a reserved child, and I didn’t expect her to say such bold words in public!
I originally thought Shuyao just had a crush on you, but I never imagined that she had already decided on you in her heart!
So, I decided to reject the Gu family and promised Shuyao to marry you.
Shuyao's mother was so angry that she threatened that if she wanted her to agree, she would have to pay a betrothal gift of two hundred taels!
Shuyao knew that her mother was deliberately making things difficult for her, and had been locking herself in the room, and hadn’t eaten for two days!
I have no other choice, so I came to find you."
After listening to what Landlord Liu said, Shen Qingfeng's heart was in a knot.
Thinking of Shuyao's situation at home, and her struggle with her family for him, Shen Qingfeng just wanted to marry her home immediately and love her well.
Their hot pot restaurant had been open for almost a month, and the total turnover was more than 230 taels of silver. After deducting the cost, the remaining amount was only more than 150 taels.
Two days ago, he spent another 80 taels on buying land, and only had 70 taels left, including Shen Qinglan and Shen Qingqian's share.
Shen Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Liu, please tell Shuyao to wait for me for another half a month. After half a month, I will save enough money and propose marriage!"
