Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

Chapter 35 "The Girl Who Runs Away"

Su Liu also lost patience and had to send them all back.

At the same time, she quickly analyzed it in her mind.

Since Boss Jia knew that he encountered difficulties from the merchants, he should also know that he had fought off those people.She doesn't need help from others, but Boss Jia still puts pressure on the merchants and forces them to come to apologize. What is the purpose?

Su Liu thought, maybe it was to sell him a favor. As for how to repay the favor, he probably won't know until the next time he sees Boss Jia.

Sure enough, as soon as this group of people left, someone from Yuelaiju sent a message saying that Boss Jia was waiting for her on the second floor of Yuelaiju.

Su Liu guessed that Boss Jia would come to see him, but he was not sure what his specific purpose was, so he went to the appointment with trepidation.

This time, Boss Jia was still generous. He had prepared a table of wine and food early, which was the signature of the store.

This time, Su Liu learned to take the initiative and asked first:

"Today is such a grand event. I should have treated you to the guests, so that I can repay yesterday's kindness."

When Boss Jia saw that Su Liu took the initiative to advance yesterday's events and knew that this person was on the road, he also laughed:

"It's just a little effort, so there's no need to talk about repaying it. After all, we are all doing business on the same street."

Hearing this sentence, Su Liu became even more sure. The other party really had a purpose. She didn't like to talk in roundabout ways, so she said bluntly:

"Boss Jia wants to talk about 'cooperation' again, why don't we talk about it?"

The smile on Boss Jia's face became even thicker, and several folds on his face were connected together. He clapped his hands repeatedly and said:
"Okay, okay, Miss Su is indeed extremely smart, and she is worthy of being my chosen business partner."

Upon hearing the compliment, Su Liu just raised his eyebrows lightly and signaled the other party to continue.

"We at Yuelaiju want to cooperate with your Xinliuzhai. To put it simply, we will put Xinliuzhai under the name of Yuelaiju. In this way, Xinliuzhai can also share the resources of Yuelaiju. We We will introduce all the guests there, and you don’t have to pay the rent for the shop, and you don’t have to move anything. You just need to receive the guests, how about that?”

Su Liu listened to him talk a lot, and what he probably understood was that Yuelaiju, a large company, now wanted to acquire its own small workshop and turn it into its own industry.

"requirement is?"

"The condition is that you give me [-]% of the dividend every month. How about that? It's not too much, right?"

Boss Jia finally got to the point. Seeing that Su Liu still looked doubtful, he added:

"Besides, you can dispatch the people from Yuelaiju at will. You should still be short of helpers, right?"

Su Liu thought for a moment and replied:

"I can agree, but you have to transfer the land deed of the shop to me. As a helper, I already have someone here, so you don't need to worry."

Of course she knew what Boss Jia was thinking. She just felt that her business was doing well and wanted to get dividends, so she gave up the rent of the shop, so why not fight for some benefits for herself.

As for the helper, she just made it up temporarily. She didn't want an informant watching her.

As soon as these words came out, Boss Jia suddenly showed a troubled expression on his face:
"There's something wrong with this."

Instead, Su Liu became angry:
"If you want to cooperate, why not show some sincerity? It's just a small shop. Are you still worried about not being able to make money back?"

Boss Jia looked full of pain, but he still nodded with difficulty: "Okay, deal."

After talking about business, Su Liu made excuses and left Yuelaiju. Staying with such a person was too exhausting.

She began to realize that her interests with Boss Jia seemed to be too closely tied, which was very dangerous, and she had to find a way to get out.On the way home, she heard that there was a section of road ahead that seemed particularly lively, and there were a lot of people watching.

When I walked over and took a look, it seemed that a middle-aged couple was making a noise. Next to them sat a little girl in shabby clothes. She looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, with tears in her eyes.

Su Liu felt a little curious, so he asked a middle-aged woman next to him:
"Auntie, what happened? Such a big movement?"

The aunt seemed to have been wanting to gossip but didn't accompany her. Seeing Su Liu coming over, she immediately grabbed her.

"What a sin. These two people actually want to sell their daughter to a 70-year-old man for a happy occasion. The key is that the old man is about to die of illness. Doesn't this mean that his daughter will become a widow?"

As she spoke, the aunt sighed deeply, obviously feeling sorry for her.

After hearing these words, Su Liu felt extremely shocked. She had never heard of this girl marrying a 70-year-old man in her teens.

"Then the girl ran away on her own, and now the old man's family has come to demand compensation. Her parents are about to take her back."

The aunt added a few more words to clarify the whole story.

Although in ancient times, it was not uncommon for teenagers to marry, people who marry teenage girls at the age of 70 will still be criticized to some extent.

Therefore, from time to time there are voices in the crowd trying to persuade the girl's parents.

Whenever this happens, the girl’s mother will reply:
"What do you know? Is your daughter coming to marry her, or are you going to return the bride price for me?"

At this time, the crowd fell silent, because no one was willing to bear this loss.

Su Liu looked at the child who was only a teenager. He was short and very thin. It was obvious that his family was poor and his nutrition could not keep up.

This reminded her of the original owner. When she first came here, she was even a little uncomfortable with this body that was much shorter than her own. Moreover, the fate of this little girl was very similar to that of the original owner, which made her feel a little sympathetic.

Anyway, I still need a helper, right?
Thinking of this, she took a step forward without hesitation:
"I'll compensate you."

People around her exclaimed, and the aunt she spoke to was even more shocked.

The faces of the girl's parents gradually changed from anger to hesitation and confusion.

"I will not only compensate you for the bride price, but I will also give you twice as much. The premise is that you are not allowed to disturb her again in the future."

As soon as he said this, the crowd burst into thunderous applause.

But the girl's parents surprisingly didn't mess around. After taking the money, they left happily.

Before leaving, the mother looked back at the girl again, her eyes very complicated.

Maybe they felt that following Su Liu would have a better future than following that old man.

There was no excitement anymore, and the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Su Liu and the little girl.

Seeing that she was still sitting on the ground stupidly, Su Liu smiled and stretched out his hand to her:

"What's your name?"
