Gu Yundong lifted the curtain separating the shop and looked out.
It was indeed not Zhuangzi’s voice. At this moment, in the shop, other than the shop assistant, Chen Jincai, there were two people standing in front of him.
A man and a woman. Oh, and two familiar faces at that.
Gu Yundong, who was about to go out, stopped in her tracks and looked at the situation in the shop silently.
This man and woman were Chen Yulan and Wu Chong. The last time she heard from Nie Shuang and the others that these two people had appeared at Chen Liang’s door, she told Chen Liang about the matter.
Chen Liang snorted and said that he would pretend that he didn’t know.
After that, she didn’t hear any news of the two of them going to the Chen family. She didn’t expect them to come to Gu’s.
Chen Yulan had a smile on her face. She looked at Chen Jincai ingratiatingly. “Brother.”
Chen Jincai frowned. “Why are you still here?”
Wu Chong pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. He stood at the side with his hands folded. Only Chen Yulan smiled dryly and said to Chen Jincai, “Brother, have you considered what we talked about last time?”
“Consider?” Chen Jincai sneered. He felt that it was unbelievable. “I remember that I rejected you at that time. When did I say that I would consider?”
“Big Brother, don’t say that. We really have no choice. The Wu family’s shop doesn’t have much business now. If this continues, it will close soon.”
The Wu family’s shop was a small grocery store in town. It used to have a good business, so the Wu family always acted arrogantly. They looked down on country bumpkins like the Chen family. If Chen Jincai hadn’t been the manager of a workshop in town, he wouldn’t have married Chen Yulan.
But now, the grocery store’s business was getting worse and worse. At the end of the day, it was also very related to the Chen family.
Jingyuan Town wasn’t very big to begin with, and Niu Dan’s matter had caused a storm in the city. Even the families near the grocery store learned about this matter and knew that his mother had slandered Niu Dan for stealing.
News of this spread like wildfire. Not long after, the grocery store’s business plummeted.
Many people said that they did not dare to enter the shop to buy things, afraid that they would be slandered as thieves.
As it happened, a few days ago, there was another grocery store that opened opposite Wu’s. That family was good at doing business. In contrast, almost no one entered the Wu family’s shop.
During this period of time, the Wu family had been eating their old money. They did not have any income from the shop, and the entire family was very worried.
Then, they started to complain to each other. The house was in chaos every day.
At this moment, Chen Yulan thought of the Chen family.
“Brother, please help us. There are no shops in town who sell this kind of white sugar. If we get first place, our business will definitely improve. When the grocery store survives the crisis, we will definitely visit you personally to thank you, okay?”
Chen Jincai sneered. “Everyone is limited to five catties of white sugar a day at Gu’s. As long as you take the money, I can sell it to you.”
Chen Yulan’s face stiffened. “Brother, are you kidding me? How can five catties be enough? Besides, the white sugar in your shop is too expensive. Can you sell it to us at a cheaper price? Fifty… thirty catties a day? I’ll buy some delicious food for sister-in-law and nephew later, okay?”
Chen Jincai was so angry that he was about to laugh. “Okay my ass. You have a good plan. 15 kilograms a day, and you want it to be cheaper? How are you so capable? Are you asking me to embezzle the goods in the shop?”
