General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming Chapter 201 - 201 Rise

Chapter 201 - 201 Rise

201 Rise
Chang Ping felt that it was unlikely.
The youngest son of the Wei family was famous for being unreasonable.
Princess Hui An had grown up with him and jumped off the city gate tower for him. He didn’t even blink. If the secret guards hadn’t intervened in time, Princess Hui An would have fallen to her death.
There was also Princess Lingxi, his biological cousin. She fell into the lake in front of him and he just walked off. Because of this, Old General Wei slapped him dozens of times and locked him in the ancestral hall in the winter to kneel…
!!
That guy had a heart of stone. Why would he care about the life and death of a village girl?
Young Master Xiang smiled. “This is getting more and more interesting.”
Chang Ping suddenly said, “Young Master! I’ve thought of a good idea! Since he cares so much about that girl, why don’t… we capture her!”
“Young Master Jing!”
Another servant reported from outside.
Chang Ping glanced at his young master and immediately shut up.
Jing Yi walked in. “Cousin.”
Young Master Xiang said warmly, “Where did you go? You’re sweating profusely.”
Jing Yi said, “I just came from the courier station.”
Young Master Xiang paused. “Is there another message from the capital?”
Jing Yi nodded. “Your wedding date with Miss Qin has been set. It’s in May. The palace is urging you to go back as soon as possible.”
Young Master Xiang put down his teacup helplessly. “Got it.”
Jing Yi said, “Cousin, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
Young Master Xiang said, “Go.”
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Jing Yi, are you hiding something from me?”
Jing Yi asked, “Cousin, what do you mean?”
Young Master Xiang smiled gently. “It’s nothing. I was just saying. You should understand that you’re the only person I can trust. You won’t betray me, right?”
Jing Yi was stunned. “Of course, I won’t betray Cousin.”
Young Master Xiang smiled in satisfaction.
Jing Yi stood up and left.
He had already gone out when he suddenly stopped.
“Cousin, I can kill anyone you want. Don’t touch her.”
…
Su Xiaoxiao went to Manager Sun’s residence first and told him about the shop.
Shopkeeper Sun’s eyes were filled with tears.
After being a stall owner for so long, were they finally going to have their own shop?
“Which location do you like?” Manager Sun asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The cloth shop opposite Jin Ji.”
Manager Su replied, “You’re going against Jin Ji!”
“Coincidentally, so am I.”
Like-minded people discussed everything abnormally smoothly. The two of them hit it off and set off for the cloth shop.
The cloth shop was sublet under a lease that had yet to expire because of poor management.
However, because of the good location and the fact that the boss of the cloth shop had seen Su Ji expand with his own eyes, he felt that Su Ji had earned a lot of money and wanted to make a killing on Su Ji.
What a coincidence. Shopkeeper Sun and Su Xiaoxiao were each more experienced than the other party. They let the cloth shop owner say whatever he wanted but refused to increase the price.
“Go and ask around. Where else can you find a better shop than mine? Girl, you first set up a stall outside my shop, right? Did you come here as soon as you wanted to set up your own shop? Let me tell you, my Fengshui is good!”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Then why are you closing down?”
The cloth shop owner was speechless.
“You guys just want to snatch business from Jin Ji! There’s no other shop for rent nearby!”
The cloth shop owner had rented it for 20 taels a month for a total of five years. There were still three years left, which added up to 720 taels. He wanted to double it and transfer it to Su Xiaoxiao.
Could Su Xiaoxiao be such a fool?
“Manager Sun, let’s go.”
After leaving the cloth shop, Manager Sun asked, “Do you really not want that shop anymore?”
“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao hooked her finger at Manager Sun.
Manager Sun leaned over.
Su Xiaoxiao whispered a few instructions, and the corners of Manager Sun’s mouth twitched. “Will this work?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “We’ll know if it works or not.”
She had always been a person who reciprocated the actions of others tenfold. If the cloth shop owner wanted to cheat her, he shouldn’t blame her for tricking him.
The next afternoon, a few more people came to the cloth shop to ask for the price. However, what annoyed the cloth shop was that those people haggled over the price, and each was more ridiculous than the last!
“250 taels? Do you think I’m a beggar? Go, go, go!”
The next two days were the same. Many people asked, but not a single one exceeded 300 taels. The lowest one even shouted 150 taels. He almost vomited blood on the spot.
...
When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou came to the alley opposite to sell pancakes again, he braced himself and walked over.
“Girl, do you still want the shop?”
Su Xiaoxiao said casually, “No.”
The cloth shop owner trembled. “What?”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I’ve thought about it. I don’t have to rent your shop to destroy Jin Ji. I’ll snatch the business of Jin Ji and wait for it to close down!”
The cloth shop owner was stupefied.
If it were anyone else who boasted like this, the cloth shop owner would definitely scoff. However, this girl’s business was indeed getting bigger and bigger, and she was hiring more and more people.
When the new year began, there were still a lot of customers queuing at the entrance of Jin Ji. Now, almost all of them were here.
Although it was still too exaggerated to destroy Jin Ji, he inexplicably felt that this girl might really be able to do it!
The cloth shop owner said, “You don’t have a shop, so you’re just a small stall. You won’t be able to get good business! A rich family won’t be willing to buy your snacks!”
Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Do you mean that the Qi family is not a big family? I wonder if Old Madam Qi and Minister Qi will be unhappy when they hear this?”
...
The cloth shop owner’s heart skipped a beat.
He quickly tried to smooth things over. “I-I just think that since your snacks are so good, you have to have a shop to show off, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “We’re running a small business. I can’t afford your price!”
The cloth store owner said, “How much do you want?”
Su Xiaoxiao gestured with her finger.
The cloth shop owner covered his chest. “200 taels?! You said 600 taels last time!”
Su Xiaoxiao shrugged. “That was the price last time. You missed it. There’s nothing else.”
The cloth shop owner was speechless.
In the end, Su Xiaoxiao took over his shop for 400 taels. The rent was 350 taels, and the other 50 taels were to buy some furniture in his shop.
The boss saw that Su Xiaoxiao was a little girl; since he couldn’t take advantage when it came to the rental, he wanted to scam her in other areas. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao was even smarter than the accountant of the county office.
“If you move away a day later, I’ll deduct a day’s rent.”
The cloth shop owner broke out in cold sweat. Was a small village girl so powerful these days?
On second thought, it made sense. How could she go against Jin Ji if she wasn’t powerful?
The cloth shop owner hurriedly got someone to pack up. Manager Sun went to the county office to invite the bailiff over and settle the procedures for subletting.
Next was the renovation. After all, they were setting up a snack shop. The layout of the shop would be different from that of a cloth shop.
When Su Xiaoxiao went back to design the blueprint, Shopkeeper Sun would look for a craftsman. Liu Ping could also count as one.
