“So, this family was given to you by my cousin! You didn’t have to spend a single cent!” Zhou Shi said with a smile.
More than half of them were literate. If they were sold, it would cost more than 4.00 taels.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Then when we meet, I have to thank Third Master Zhou!” She smiled.
“Yes! He is very interested in your spicy cabbage! He’s different from us. He’s from the main Zhou family. Although he came to Qingshi Town because he was demoted, if he performed well, he could be transferred back at any time.”
“This time, I see that he wants to use your spicy cabbage business to make a comeback and return to the capital.” Zhou Shi lowered her voice and said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
“If we succeed, we and Third Master Zhou will be able to achieve mutual success.” She smiled.
“Yes.” Zhou Shi smiled and nodded.
Then, she gave Lin Xiaoyue a mysterious smile.
Lin Xiaoyue was a little puzzled.
Just as she was about to ask, she saw Zhou Shi pick up the wooden box that she had been holding in her hand.
“This is from my father. Inside were the land deeds of the manor in Zhou Village, as well as the contracts for the workers in the manor.” Zhou Shi said as she handed the wooden box to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.
“How much does he want?” She asked hurriedly.
Zhou Shi laughed.
“This is a gift! And my father gave it to you willingly!”
Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.
Zhou Shi then said, “firstly, it’s to thank you for helping his daughter. Secondly, he’s grateful that you helped the Zhou family.”
Lin Xiaoyue was a little confused.
She thought of this to help her sister-in-law save money for the investment. It could barely be considered as “helping”, but how could that be considered helping the Zhou family?
Zhou Shi saw through Lin Xiaoyue’s doubts and smiled, answering her doubts, “my cousin has decided not to report the chili business to the main family for the time being. When the business started, even if they knew about it, they would still let him be involved.”
“My father is quite reputable in Qingshi Town. If my cousin doesn’t report this to the main family, my father will get a share of the profits.” “When they find out in the future, the business will be completely handed over to my cousin to manage. My father can also continue to work with him.”
“Anyway, my father said that the Zhou family is now connected to my cousin. If he could use the chili business to make a comeback, his future would be bright. Our family will also benefit.”
Zhou Shi looked at the wooden box in Lin Xiayue’s hand.
“These things were given to me by my father after I mentioned the manor to him. At that time, my four brothers and sisters-in-law were all there. Father said that he would give the manor to you, but none of them said anything.”
Of course, they wouldn’t say anything. They were the ones who benefited the most from the Zhou family’s relationship with Zhou Shi’s cousin.
“Last year, my father had plans to expand the Zhou Village. Now, the Zhou manor has a total of 306 mu of land. A total of 32 households had signed a lease agreement with us. Now that the Zhou manor has a new owner, you can find some time to meet with these tenants and change the agreement as you see fit.”
Lin Xiaoyue was shocked.
What? More than 300 mu of land? Oh my G.o.d, what a huge manor!
“Zhou Shi…” Lin Xiaoyue was flattered by the gift.
Zhou Shi grabbed her hand before she could finish.
“Don’t be so polite. Compared to what the Zhou family will get in the future, what my father gave you is nothing.”
She nodded at Zhou Shi.
“Thank you!”
Zhou Shi smiled and patted Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“No need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you! My cousin has agreed to help me pay for the 5,000 taels. In the future, the profit from the chili business will go to me.!”
“Also, my four sisters-in-law didn’t dare to give me any att.i.tude when I returned home this time.Hehe, they even flattered me.” Zhou Shi couldn’t help but laugh.
She thought to herself that this time, she could finally hold her head high.
Lin Xiaoyue was amused.
“Alright! If we join forces, we’ll definitely be able to make a lot of money!”
“Of course!”
The two sisters-in-law chatted for a while more before Zhou Shi asked about Zhao Shanshan..
