Chapter 43: Be a "daozu", not a "fish meat"

Shopkeeper Zhou's wife and children were all in Lanshan County. After being threatened by Wang Waner, he immediately took refuge with the eldest lady.

"Miss, Li Xiaoyue opened a shop diagonally across from our silk and satin shop selling stoves and something called briquettes. The briquettes are made of sulfide."

Wang Waner is sitting in the living room at this time. She has fair skin, good facial features, short stature and slightly plump.

He is only 17 years old this year and gave birth to a son to the Sun family, who is half a year old this year.

Her husband, Sun Wencai, is the nephew of Sun Dianshi of Lanshan County. He is already a child student and is studying hard in the county school to become a scholar in the government examination next year.

At this time, she frowned slightly when she heard Shopkeeper Zhou's words, "It's really surprising that this poor guy has the ability to open a store in such a good market."

Shopkeeper Zhou thought for a while and then said: "That shop belongs to the Gongsun family. Yesterday Mr. Gongsun and his housekeeper brought them to the shop. I asked someone to inquire about the house they rented from the Gongsun family."

Wang Waner was stunned, "Gongsun Lian will accompany you personally?"

"Yes, Miss." Shopkeeper Zhou replied, always feeling uneasy.

Wang Waner's heart skipped a beat, and her face changed slightly. The mud-legged guy she had always looked down on had actually climbed into the Gongsun family.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, please continue to pay attention to Li Xiaoyue's family and don't argue with them. Also, be optimistic about the shop and the money. Don't give Liu Yunde a penny. Anyway, mother will be back soon."

Shopkeeper Zhou turned pale with fright. He was worried that his wife would come back and deal with him, "Miss, I..."

The corners of Wang Waner's mouth turned up, with a smile in her eyes, "Shopkeeper Zhou, don't worry. When mother comes back, I will tell her that I asked you to do all this."

"It was me who discovered Liu Yunde's ambition and was worried that her money would be insecure, so I didn't let you give the money to Liu Yunde."

Shopkeeper Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what the eldest lady said, and respectfully saluted the eldest lady, "Thank you very much, eldest lady."

After Shopkeeper Zhou left, Wang Waner called the boy from the Sun family and asked him to keep an eye on Li Xiaoyue's family in Lihua Village.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

She had underestimated Li Xiaoyue before, and she thought he was rough in some things. Even if the Gongsun family recognized Li Xiaoyue's daughter Liu Changhuan as their adopted daughter, they would not pay too much attention to her.

Unexpectedly, on the contrary, the Gongsun family attached great importance to it and actually gave such a good shop to the Li family.

interesting!
She was very interested in this Li Xiaoyue and wanted to meet this person.

At the same time, Li Xiaoyue saw that her eldest son Li Changfu and his eldest brother were able to deal with customers, so they did not step forward, but silently observed the surroundings.

She wants to be the one who takes control of the overall situation, straightens things out and leaves them to others.

He had to do everything by himself, which exhausted him to death, and he couldn't do much. Li Xiaoyue wanted to wait until she was rich and travel around the Great Yan Kingdom, but she didn't want to die early again.

The shopkeeper of the Wang Family Silk Shop kept looking at her and her shop with complicated eyes, and then left in a hurry.

Now is a time when there are many customers. Shopkeeper Zhou does not do business, but leaves. He is probably reporting a message to Miss Wang Wang Waner.

Yesterday, Liu Yunde did not get any money from the shop and was kicked out. Li Xiaoyue guessed that the shop was already under Wang Waner's control.

How could Wang Waner, who had such means, allow her mother to have a son with another man and take over the family property that originally belonged to her?
Li Xiaoyue is well aware of the helplessness of the people at the bottom, especially Liu Yunde, a wicked man who offends people everywhere. Even if he reconciles with him, he will sometimes be implicated.

Not wanting to be the target of bullying and humiliation by others, Li Xiaoyue seized every opportunity, integrated the resources at hand, and climbed up step by step.

She wants to be a "daozu", not a "fish meat".

Li Changfu saw his mother standing not far away and watching, so he quickly moved a stool over and said, "Mom, sit down, don't be tired."

Li Xiaoyue waved her hand, "I'm not tired. I can feel relieved when I see the business is so good. By the way, remember, everyone who buys must put their fingerprints on the notice." "Mom, I know, when delivering the goods, No goods will be given if you don't take fingerprints." Li Changfu agreed, "It's noon now and it's a bit hot, so you'd better come and sit in the shop for a while."

"The porridge is cooking in the pot. I will bring it over in a moment. I will go to the restaurant to buy some vegetables and we will eat in the shop to celebrate the opening of our new store."

Seeing her son who was becoming more and more stable, Li Xiaoyue felt relieved and gave Li Changfu five taels of silver. "The money from selling the stove must be recorded and cannot be touched. Use the money to buy vegetables and thank our elders for their busy work for us."

"Okay!" Li Changfu took the money and went to Taihua Building to buy beef stew and other dishes.

Watching Li Changfu leave, Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Brother, you and Changfu will be responsible for running the store from now on. Let Changfu do the heavy work, and you can keep good accounts."

Brother Li smiled and said, "Your parents told me this morning that they wanted to come to the county with us. I said I wanted to ask you, but you didn't agree."

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she waved her hand, "Brother, whoever can come, Changlu can't come to the county seat."

Brother Li was a little relieved after hearing his sister's words, "You were right not to let Changlu come to the county. Among the several children, Changlu is the one who looks most like Liu Yunde."

Li Xiaoyue got to know Liu Changlu very well after getting along with him for a period of time.

"Yes, they are short-sighted and forget their own good. Such people are out there. They don't suffer small losses, but only suffer big losses. The kind of big losses that will make you unable to get up after experiencing them once."

"Now that the family has finally stabilized, I don't want him to cause trouble outside. I have to clean up the mess for him."

Brother Li looked serious and reminded patiently, "If you don't have a good reason, Changlu will be petty-minded and will definitely think that you favor Changfu. You will not be able to live well at home, and you might even do things that harm others and do not benefit yourself."

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "I've thought about it. I'll leave the accounting and statistics work at home to him so that he has something to do. I see that it can be better in front of me."

Seeing that his sister had plans, Brother Li smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, with your plans, my father and I can rest assured."

Looking at his sister who was about the same age as his son, Brother Li was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Sure enough, my father was right, my sister became smarter by staying away from the scumbag.

I bought eight vegetables and a basket of steamed buns, and entertained my old father and two elder clan leaders in the backyard of the shop.

After dinner, Li Xiaoyue bought a few more kilograms of snacks and gave them to the two elders. After all, the elderly people, who were almost seventy years old, were tired from a busy day.

After dinner, Old Man Li took the two elders and drove the ox cart back.

Li Xiaoyue didn't leave. This was the first business in the family. After working on it for such a long time, there was no room for mistakes.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the afternoon, and another 25 stoves were ordered.

The sun sets and the shop is closed. Brother Li is guarding the Li family shop today.

Li Changfu drove the bullock cart, and Li Xiaoyue sat on it, "Mom, wear thick clothes. It will be cold when the sun goes down."

"Hey, I got it." Li Xiaoyue smiled, enjoying the care of her eldest son, and placed a small half sack of copper coins next to her. This is today's harvest.

When I got home, it was already dark.

Li Xiaoyue's sons are waiting at the entrance of the village, wanting to know how much money they made in the county today.

Li Changlu was the most active, carrying half a sack of copper coins directly from the bullock cart, "Mom, I'll carry it!"

Zhou Xiaohua supported Li Xiaoyue as if she were serving the old Buddha, "Mom, be careful where you step."

When I got home, I didn't care about eating. Everyone stared at Li Xiaoyue, "Mom, count the money and see how much money we made?"
