My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Wang Fugui weighed the sugar and turned around to get the money.

Wang Fugui had originally thought of only selling ten kilograms per set, but seeing how popular it was, ten kilograms was obviously not enough.

Gu Lili was naturally happy to sell all the candy to Wang Fugui. After all, if she went out to set up a stall, she might not be able to sell it all.

With this time, I can make more candy.

Gu Lili already had a plan in mind at this moment. Sizhu's father would be there soon, so she would buy more food and make more sugar. She could then take them to the nearby town and wholesale them to major businesses.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I want to ask you something!" Gu Lili said as she watched Wang Fugui counting money.

Wang Fugui paused counting the money in his hand and asked curiously, "What do you want to ask?"

Gu Lili smiled and said, "I want to ask where to buy a horse-drawn carriage!"

When Wang Fugui heard this, his eyes widened.

This carriage is not something that ordinary people can ride in. Only those who can ride in a carriage are rich or noble.

"You don't want to buy it!" Wang Fugui couldn't help but raise his voice.

Gu Lili nodded without understanding why.

Wang Fugui curled his lips. What a dare this little girl has to think!

However, he still patiently explained to Gu Lili, "Common people can't just sit in this carriage. If you really want to buy one, you can consider buying an ox cart!"

Although Gu Lili was wearing tattered clothes when he first met her, if they continued to sell candy, buying a bullock cart would only take a year or two, so it was worth considering.

When Gu Lili heard this, she realized that this carriage could not be bought with just money, but also required an identity.

"What about the ox cart?" Gu Lili asked again.

There are countless people coming and going in Wang Fugui's business every day, so of course he knows about it.

Wang Fugui pointed to the west and said, "A cow is probably between 20 and 30 taels. The exact amount depends on the quality of the cow! As for ox carts, there are two types: with a shed and without a shed. An ox cart without a shed can be bought for 2 taels, while an ox cart with a shed costs about 5 taels! To buy a cow, you have to go to the west of the city!"

Gu Lili nodded, having a general idea in mind.

It seems that this horse carriage cannot be bought anymore. Oxen cart is also good. Although it is slow, it is stable.

Wang Fugui suddenly had an idea and said to Gu Lili with ill intentions, "Hey, little girl, if you want to buy an ox cart, why don't you sell me the recipe for making candy? I'll give you fifty taels, and then you can drive the ox cart home in a while!"

Gu Lili looked up and rolled her eyes at Wang Fugui, saying, "Manager Wang, your abacus beads are flying all over my face. I can still tell the difference between this-time business and long-term business. If Manager Wang doesn't want to do business with us in the future, just tell us!"

Wang Fugui quickly apologized with a smile, "Ah, I was just joking with you, why are you angry? Do you have twenty copper coins? Give me twenty copper coins, and I will give you one or two taels of silver, so it will be convenient for you to take it!"

Gu Lili took out twenty copper coins from her bosom and handed them to Wang Fugui, and Wang Fugui also handed over one or two taels of silver.

Gu Lili took the silver, picked up her things, and went out with her brothers and sisters.

Wang Fugui trotted all the way to the door and shouted, "Little girl, give me your candy back in two days. I want more!"

He was afraid that Gu Lili would get angry and sell it to the business next door.

Gu Lili responded, and Wang Fugui went back with peace of mind.

Although Gu Lili was a little angry, she didn't want to stop making money.

Wang Fugui sat on a chair to drink tea, and a woman in her thirties came out from the inner room.

"Husband, look at you, you want a secret recipe and you kneel down to apologize to a little girl! I have an idea that can let you get the secret recipe without spending any money!" said the woman with a calculating look on her face.

When Wang Fugui heard this, his eyes lit up.

Wouldn't it be better if it didn't cost a penny?

Then he frowned again. Wang Fugui would never do anything to kill for money. Although he was profit-driven, he didn't dare to kill anyone!

"My lady, no, no, you can't do such a thing as killing people. You will be beheaded by the county magistrate!" Wang Fugui waved his hands repeatedly.

Li Yuemei slapped Wang Fugui on the head.

How on earth did Wang Fugui manage to open Wang’s Commercial Bank?

What are you thinking about every day!

Li Yuemei said angrily, "When did I ever ask you to kill someone?"

Wang Fugui rubbed his head and looked at his wife with a tearful face, and asked aggrievedly, "Don't you want me to kill that girl and force her to hand over the prescription?"

Li Yuemei rolled her eyes at Wang Fugui and said, "Am I so vicious in your eyes? I have a way to have the best of both worlds. Do you want to listen?"

Wang Fugui immediately nodded his head wildly.

"Our Cong'er is already fifteen years old, but..." Li Yuemei did not say the rest of the sentence.

Wang Fugui understood immediately after hearing this, "We can get that little girl to be Cong'er's wife, then she will give us the secret recipe obediently, right!"

To be honest, Wang Fugui really admires Gu Lili.

A little girl, smart and dexterous.

It just so happens that my son doesn't want to run a business. If I marry Gu Lili as his daughter-in-law, I can teach her how to do business.

He is still very optimistic about Gu Lili. With Gu Lili's support, Wangji Trading Company will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

Li Yuemei raised her hand and slapped Wang Fugui again.

She spat and said, "With her pale and skinny appearance, you actually want him to be Cong'er's principal wife. She is not worthy! In my opinion, marrying her is a sign of respecting her!"

Wang Fugui covered his head and thought about it and agreed.

After all, he was a well-known figure in Donghai Town. Even if he couldn't marry his son to a daughter of an official, he could at least marry his son to a daughter of a wealthy family.

If I found a country girl like Gu Lili as my daughter-in-law, I would definitely be ridiculed for the rest of my life.

"My lady is right. If we take her in as a concubine, her family's ancestors would be so happy!" Wang Fugui said as he pulled Li Yuemei to sit on his lap.

This thing can be done!

Next time, I will ask Gu Lili where she lives, then find a matchmaker, pick a day, and marry the girl into the family.

My Cong'er is a handsome man, that girl must be so happy.

Li Yuemei sat in Wang Fugui's arms, her hands restlessly touching Wang Fugui's chest.

This made Wang Fugui's breathing suddenly become heavy.

"My dear, you are such a troublesome little devil. Our son is already so big, but I still can't stop lusting after you!"

As Wang Fugui spoke, he put his hand into Li Yuemei's dress.
