After being forced to marry by her stepmother, the Koi wife brings prosperity to the whole family

The old man was very happy.

Du Wanchun turned around and pointed at the "Zhou's Fragrant Rice" at the door and asked, "Is this Zhou's Fragrant Rice the rice from the Zhou's Rice Shop in Cheng'an County?"

The shopkeeper squinted and smiled, "Yes, it is Zhou's rice. They used to run a fragrance shop business, but now they have a rice shop business. The rice they sell is more fragrant than spices when cooked."

It's an exaggeration to say that it's more fragrant than spices, but the rice is indeed very fragrant.

Du Wanchun asked slowly, "How much is a dou of rice in your family?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This rice is good, and many people who have bought it in Cheng'an County know it, so the price is naturally much more expensive than ordinary rice, about two hundred coins a dou."

"Two hundred coins?" Wu Niangzi beside him exclaimed.

Du Wanchun's face also sank. The rice that their Zhou family usually sold was one hundred coins a dou, but it was two hundred coins a dou here. This is treating the people like cattle.

She smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I heard that it only costs one hundred coins a dou in Cheng'an County, how come it has become two hundred coins a dou here?"

The shopkeeper saw her say this, put away his smile, and said sternly, "Girl, if you think it's too expensive, don't buy it, let's go!"

Du Wanchun turned around and walked to the rice, grabbed a handful and asked, "This kind of inferior rice only sells for seventy or eighty coins a dou at most, but you are so much more expensive."

"What inferior rice? If you don't want to buy it, get out!" The shopkeeper said fiercely to them.

Xiao Mianmian in Zhou Ruiyuan's arms was sleeping. When she heard the sound, she opened her eyes slightly.

He quickly wrapped the child in his arms and said to the shopkeeper in a cold voice: "Shopkeeper, your rice is inferior rice. It is not the rice of Zhou's rice shop at all."

The shopkeeper snorted coldly and said: "If you say it is not, then it is not. Have you eaten it or what? If you have eaten it, bring the rice you bought to me and let us see if it is true."

As he said this, he deliberately raised his eyebrows and mocked: "People like you can't even afford the rice price of 200 wen per bucket. It can be seen that you have never eaten the real Zhou's fragrant rice. You just caught my shop and want to extort our money."

Zhou Ruiyuan raised his feet and walked to the side of the shopkeeper.

He was two heads taller than the shopkeeper, and standing next to him was very oppressive.

The shopkeeper was startled, "What do you want to do?!"

Zhou Ruiyuan handed the child to Du Wanchun and said coldly: "Shopkeeper, you said this is Zhou's fragrant rice, but our Zhou family has never sold rice to you."

"Your Zhou family?" The shopkeeper was stunned.

Zhou Ruiyuan walked into the rice shop and said slowly: "We are the shopkeepers of Zhou's rice shop. Don't we know whether this is our rice?"

The shopkeeper was shocked and his face turned pale in an instant. After a while, he quickly came back to his senses and said: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Zhou's family. I was blind. You are generous and don't blame us."

Zhou Ruiyuan snorted coldly and said: "You didn't know what I said just now, shopkeeper, you are passing inferior products as good ones. If I report this to Zheng Zhifu, your rice shop will not be able to do business."

The shopkeeper lowered his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, don't worry, I don't want to pass inferior products as good ones."

"Who is that?" Du Wanchun came over and asked.

The shopkeeper looked outside and said slowly, "It's the Yu family."

"The Yu family?" Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan asked in unison.

Mrs. Wu came over and said, "I know the Yu family. They are wealthy merchants in Qingzhou Prefecture. In Qingzhou Prefecture, apart from the Fang family, the Yu family is the richest."

"That's right." The shopkeeper replied, "This rice shop is opened by his boss. I'm just helping to look after the shop. If you want to talk, go to Mr. Yu."

"Mr. Yu..." Du Wanchun muttered in her heart.

She had heard Mr. Fang mention this man. When he opened the rice shop, Mr. Fang told her to be careful of Mr. Yu.

Mr. Yu relied on his connections in the capital to occupy the rice markets in more than 20 counties in Qingzhou Prefecture.

The shopkeeper continued, "Mr. Yu forced me to sell it this way. I had no choice. I also said at the time that it would be bad if the Zhou family found out. Who knew that he would slam the table and say that his cousin was the imperial concubine. I dared not disobey him."

Du Wanchun's eyes gradually turned cold, and she looked in the direction of Yu's house, unwilling to leave.
