Chapter 1206 Tempted
" What!?" The villager who asked Chu Yuanzi the purpose of his visit was stunned. Were their vegetables being sold to such rich officials? This was really amazing. No wonder Yu Dong promised that they would be able to earn more than they have ever earned in their lives.
Sure enough, the reason she had the confidence to execute what she promised was because Yu Dong knew that people like Chu Yuanzi were backing her up! With such rich people willing to throw their money, there was no surprise that Yu Dong was able to earn so much money!
" Haha that's right," Old Master Gu waved his hand feeling a bit joyful when he saw how the villagers were looking at him with a bit of envy. As his wife was close to Yu Dong, he could also be considered as someone close to the Yu family.
He turned his gaze and looked at Old Master Tong who was walking back to the Yu family and then snickered lightly, " At this moment those who did not sign the contracts must be regretting very much. After all, we can now earn twice the amount of what we earned in a year, in just a month at that."
Old Master Tong of course knew that it was a taunt targeted at him but there was nothing that he could say. It wasn't that he did not try to send Lin Tianhui to sign the contract but that woman was as much of a coward as she was lazy. She did not sign the contract saying that they would make more of a loss than profit and refused to sign the contract which Yu Dong handed to everyone.
Now everything was good. The entire village was earning money while he and his family were sitting idle. Even now Lin Tianhui didn't feel like she was in the wrong in fact she was complaining and moaning about how he was the useless one as he could not get Yu Dong to give them a contract which was way better than the ones that were given to the villagers.
According to Lin Tianhui if he had maintained a good relationship with Yu Dong then she would have looked out for their family and it would be a path of roses for them even if his in-laws thought the same. They often complained and bad mouth him in front of the neighbours while telling them how cruel and disgusting he was, which was considerably funny since they all were like peas in a pod.
If Old Master Tong was in the same situation as before he would have given Old Master Gu a piece of his mind but he knew that he was already disliked by the entire village if he dared to fight with the husband of the Village Head then he would only invite the ire of the villagers.
' They can earn ten to twenty taels a month and I… I have to work in the fields in this condition before I can earn three hundred copper coins! Ah what was I thinking when I got together with that useless woman,' Old Master Tong was regretting his choices.
The more he saw Yu Dong getting better the more regretful his heart became if he knew that this was going to happen then he would have never allowed himself to be swayed by a sleazy good-for-nothing like Lin Tianhui who only knew how to speak sweetly and nothing else.
If he was still married to Old Madam Yu then he would have at least a little connection with Yu Dong. Now that he was divorced from Old Madam Yu——
Old Master Tong sighed before he hurried over to his house, he did not want to listen to the taunts of others.
…
" Ah someone really came to buy meat and vegetables from the town? He even bought more than thirty catties of rice?" Da Qiao was shocked when she heard her brother-in-law tell her what happened at the Big River Village.
" If not?" Her brother-in-law rolled his eyes. He lived in the Big River Village and thus knew what was happening inside the village much better than Da Qiao. " Take it as me overstepping my boundaries but Sister in law, you should sign the contract with Miss Yu. She can even sell vegetables and meat at such exorbitant prices just think about how well she will sell the pickles of your village."
When Master Qiao heard his brother say that Yu Dong's stock was selling so well that people were coming from the town to buy it, he was shocked when he felt endless regret. If he had known that the mall Yu Dong opened was going to succeed like this, then he would have agreed on the day when Yu Dong came to ask them.
It was a good thing that they hadn't refused Yu Dong outright back then or else they would have no other choice!
Da Qiao also wiped her sweat and thanked the heavens. If she had foolishly refused Yu Dong when the latter came to ask for collaboration then her heart would have been filled with endless tears.
Fortunately, she still had a chance.
If she had refused then it would be a huge blow to the villagers.
" Sure enough Madam Yu is different," Master Qiao said with awe written on his face. " No matter what she does, she does it better than the rest. Even the meat and vegetables that she is selling are better than us. How many of our villagers can sell all of their stock?" He asked his wife who nodded.
" You are right. The entire village cannot earn more than thirty taels in a day and yet Miss Yu was able to earn that much with one customer. Heaven knows how much she can earn with so many official flooding in her mall," Da Qiao was also in awe but at the same time she was excited. This..
doesn't this mean that as long as they agree to sell their pickles to Yu Dong their village's situation would get better as well? Enjoy more content from empire
