The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains
Chapter 82 Being a Lobbyist
Xu Yingtao was checking accounts in her room. When she heard the noise and walked out of the side room, she saw Xie Bai standing at the door of the main room with a wary look on his face, looking outside with eyes full of vigilance and disgust.
Combined with the man's voice of "Second Sister", it was not difficult for Xu Yingtao to guess who the person was.
At this time, Jiang also came out from the kitchen.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xu Yingtao asked gently, "Mom, how about I deal with it?"
Jiang shook her head. Her youngest brother had a bad temper since he was young and would hit others if he disagreed with something. How could she let the younger generation stand up for her?
Although she was afraid inside, Jiang still stepped out of the hall resolutely.
However, Jiang Zhuzi had no time to pay attention to her at all.
At this moment, his eyes were completely focused on Yan Yunlan, and his eyes were full of undisguised vulgarity and greed, as if he wanted to examine every inch of her carefully.
He had heard that his second sister's eldest daughter-in-law became a widow early, but he had not expected that this young widow could be so beautiful.
She has delicate skin, tender flesh and is delicate and pretty, not like a country woman at all.
She was much prettier than the virgin girl he had met a few months ago.
Before this, Jiang Zhuzi hated his second sister so much when he thought about the marriage being cancelled because the bride price was not collected.
But at this time, he didn't think so.
It would be a waste to keep such a pretty little widow here. It would be better to give her to him as a concubine.
Yan Yunlan had no idea of Jiang Zhuzi's plan, and she didn't know that he had recognized the wrong person. She had been arrogant since she was a child and had never bothered to pay attention to people she had no interest in, especially if the other person was a man. She just glanced at him and continued to peel her radishes with her head down.
But people who practice martial arts are born with keen intuition, and Jiang Zhuzi's "fiery" eyes were almost materialized. Yan Yunlan frowned immediately, wondering whether he should throw the kitchen knife in his hand away.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Xie Li beside her shout, "You have money! Go scratch him to death!"
Xu Youqian, who was hibernating in the chicken coop, was about to stand up and rush out when he received the order, but was locked in the chicken coop by Jiang.
Xu Youqian continued to stay there with great regret.
"Zhu Zi, what are you doing here?" Jiang walked to the gate of the courtyard, but had no intention of opening the gate to welcome guests.
Jiang Zhuzi noticed her then, and finally remembered that he had important things to do today. He put on a smile and called her "Second Sister".
Second sister?
This was truly unprecedented; Jiang couldn't help but shudder.
Before she got married, Jiang Zhuzi had never called her sister. He always imitated their mother and called her a money-losing bitch.
Seeing that Jiang had no intention of letting him in, Jiang Zhuzi looked a little unhappy.
He shook a few oil-paper packages and a thin piece of pork in his hand and said with a smile, "Second sister, I came all the way to see you with all these things, you should at least let me in to have a bowl of hot water, right?"
After saying this, he turned his gaze to Xie Li and Xie Bai who were not far away. His face darkened and he reproached them in a pretentious and dignified manner, "You have no manners. You didn't even call for help when your uncle came."
Xie Li's chest heaved violently as he crushed a carrot with one hand.
Yan Yunlan smoothed the girl's hair and whispered to her, "Don't be angry. I'll help you beat him up later."
Xie Li was no longer angry, but there was a bit of doubt in her eyes: "But my uncle is very strong."
"It doesn't matter." Yan Yunlan smiled confidently, "I can beat him."
No matter how strong he is, it's just a wild move without any rules. He is no match for a trained woman like her.
At the gate of the courtyard, Jiang remained unmoved, and said calmly, "My mother and I have made it very clear before that our two families have severed their relationship. If you have nothing else, you can go back."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhuzi clenched his teeth and said in a bad tone, "I gave you face, didn't I?"
Just like before, Jiang subconsciously wanted to dodge, but then she realized that she was in her own home, so she calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I can't afford the face you gave me. If you want to borrow money from me, I advise you to give up that idea. I don't have a penny!"
Jiang Zhuzi was very surprised. When did his second sister, who was always timid and would not dare to go west when he said east, become so tough?
Jiang Shi was not aware of her transformation. She just felt extremely relieved to stand up straight and talk to Jiang Zhuzi, no longer agreeing with him on everything.
Jiang Zhuzi clenched his fists until they creaked, but then he remembered that he was entrusted by someone to come here, so he suppressed his anger and smiled again, saying, "Second sister, you misunderstood. I'm not here to borrow money, I'm here to give you money!"
Seeing that Jiang was still indifferent, Jiang Zhuzi quickly added: "I'm not lying to you. Do you still remember the shopkeeper Shi who runs the grocery store in our town? He specially asked me to come to you today."
Jiang thought for a long time, but couldn't remember who the other person was.
When she was at her parents' home, she had endless work to do as soon as she opened her eyes. Before she got married, she had only been to the town once.
Jiang Zhuzi knew from her expression that she had no impression, but that didn't stop him from continuing to persuade her: "Let me tell you straight away, Shopkeeper Shi has set his sights on the business in your village and wants to open a branch in our town. How is your relationship with the village boss? Can you introduce him to someone else? If this deal goes through, I'll give you one... no, two taels of silver as a reward!"
Jiang was surprised.
Based on her understanding of this youngest brother, if he was willing to give her two taels of silver, then the profit he would get from it would at least be ten times as much.
What puzzled her even more was that if the shopkeeper Shi wanted to discuss cooperation, he could just come directly. Why did he have to find her good-for-nothing youngest brother?
Furthermore, looking at Jiang Zhuzi's expression, it was obvious that he did not know that the boss he was talking about was her eldest daughter-in-law.
Jiang remained calm and continued to wait for Jiang Zhuzi's next words.
Jiang Zhuzi was very annoyed. After saying so much, why didn't his second sister express her opinion?
The reason why he made such a big promise in front of Manager Shi was, firstly, for the twenty taels of reward silver, and secondly, to be able to marry into the Shi family smoothly and leave a good impression of being reliable in front of his brother-in-law and future wife.
Although Jiang Zhuzi is a very bad person, he has a good appearance, which is why the widowed second daughter of the Shi family falls in love with him.
Therefore, he deliberately exaggerated the relationship between his sister and the boss of Nanxi Village, waiting to meet him in person before convincing him to cooperate with the Shi family.
Jiang Zhuzi didn't know that the close relationship he casually made up turned out to be right by accident.
Seeing that he couldn't say a word for a long time, Jiang had no choice but to ask him about his doubts.
"If he wants to cooperate, he can just come and talk directly. Why did he send you?"
Jiang Zhuzi hissed and said impatiently, "It's your village boss who made up the rules out of boredom, saying that there can only be one store in a town. Someone else took the spot for our town first, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way here."
Jiang suddenly realized that he was sent to act as a lobbyist.
Jiang couldn't help but worry about the shopkeeper Shi. How desperate must he be to go after her brother?
"Okay, go back. Since we are following the rules, I can't help you. You don't have to come again."
