“Really?” Cai Xiaolian smiled.

Somewhat embarrassed, shopkeeper Cheng pursed his lips and said, ” “Lady Cai, this door is not a good place to talk, why don’t we go inside?”

Cai Xiaolian replied,”I’m sorry, shopkeeper Cheng. My man went up the mountain to hunt. He’s not home.” I can’t invite you into the house since there’s only me and my mother here. However, my in-laws are at home. Shall we talk over there?”

“That’s fine, that’s fine!” Shopkeeper Cheng nodded.

He couldn’t wait to see her like this. He had always felt that Cai Xiaolian, this village woman, was not easy to talk to, and she especially liked to ask for too much.

He had seen the old master of the Gu family. Although he was from the countryside, he seemed to be easy to get along with and talk to. It might be easier to talk to him there.

“Wait a minute, I’ll go get the contract we signed before!” After Cai Xiaolian finished speaking, she closed the door with a bang.

Shopkeeper Cheng was speechless.

The women in the Gu family were all very fierce. In less than 15 minutes, he had been locked up like this twice. This had never happened before.

Forget it, the eldest young master was still thinking about the Gu family’s young lady, so he still had to give him face.

He still had to help the eldest young master Pass the letter to the Gu family’s young lady later!

After a while, Cai Xiaolian came out with the contract and brought shopkeeper Cheng to the old mansion.

Zhang Shi was carrying her child and preparing to go out for a walk. When she saw Cai Xiaolian coming over with two strangers, and even leading a carriage, her gossipy heart made her decide not to go out for a walk.

“Sister-in-law, what’s the matter?” Zhang Shi asked curiously.

“It’s nothing. Sister-in-law, why don’t you take ninren out to play? Today’s weather is just right, it’s good to take ninren out to get some sun.” Cai Xiaolian said.

“No, I didn’t! I’m just carrying ninren and walking around, hehe.” Madam Zhang carried her child and followed Cai Xiaolian, still not sizing up shopkeeper Cheng.

The coachman naturally did not follow shopkeeper Cheng into the house.

Grandma Gu was about to go out. She had promised grandma Xiao that she would go into the mountains with her to dig for medicinal herbs. When she saw manager Cheng, she knew that the Cheng family was going to talk about the drunken River Restaurant.

So she put down her back and asked Zhang Shi to go to grandma Xiao’s place, saying that she had something to do at home and couldn’t go in the morning.

Zhang Shi unwillingly went to report.

She had missed another piece of gossip. She didn’t know if she would be able to hear anything useful after she came back with the news.

However, she couldn’t disobey her mother-in-law!

“Old man, old lady, Happy New Year!” Shopkeeper Cheng greeted the old couple with a smile.

“Happy New Year, shopkeeper Cheng! Why did you come today?” Grandpa Gu asked indifferently.

In the past, you were the business partner of my second son’s family. Now, your boss is a bastard who bullied my granddaughter. You still expect me to be good-tempered to you and smile at you?

In your dreams!

Shopkeeper Cheng was dumbfounded by grandfather Gu’s expression. Was this the old master of the Gu family?

It was as if he had become a different person.

“Father, mother, shopkeeper Cheng said that he was ordered to discuss a non-cooperative matter, and he also said that he would compensate us. The child’s father isn’t at home, and I’m a woman who doesn’t understand the ways of the world. I’m afraid that I’ll be bullied and cheated, so I brought shopkeeper Cheng here. With more people, I’ll have more confidence!” Cai Xiaolian said rudely.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Grandma Gu looked at shopkeeper Cheng coldly.

“You are a child, a native of the village at the crossroads. What are you afraid of? Do you think he’ll eat you up?” Grandpa Gu also looked at shopkeeper Cheng with an unfriendly gaze.

Shopkeeper Cheng was speechless.
