Ms. Ma felt really sour in heart. But she chuckled pretentiously and passed on some forced congratulatory words, before telling Ms. Niu that her son would become an officer soon.
When her son became an officer, he could earn more than 10 liang a month, not just 1 liang.
Nis. Niu pursed her lips. So what? Liulang was not yet the officer.
But Ms. Niu could not foresee that Liulang would not become an officer, so she dare not make a conclusion now.
Flattery did not cost anything, so she said a few to Nis. Ma.
Ms. Ma felt really motivated.
Qiao Xuan wrote a letter to Yuezheng Xiao and told him about the bean products.
It would take at least half a month before the Yan Family’s bean products business started officially. So, there was no need to be in a hurry.
When Ding Qiuyue went back to the mansion, Old Master Zhao snapped at her and called her useless and stupid.
Ding Qiuyue held her breath and did not dare to utter a sound whilst sitting on her knees.
When Old Master Zhao was done, he ordered her to tell him everything in detail. She opened her mouth for the first time and spoke vividly.
Listening to her words, Old Master Zhao felt that it was incredible.
How did the first section of the Shao Family happen to turn down Ding Qiuyue at this juncture?
They were from the same village.
It wasn’t that strange that people visited each other.
“Did you expose yourself?”
“Of course not. I didn’t dare to! I did not even tell my family about it.”
Old Master Zhao was silent.
Ding Qiuyue would not be bold enough to do anything like that.
Moreover, she would not dare lie to him.
Now that she was turned down by the first section of the Shao Family, she had no way to finish the plan.
So unlucky, how horrible!
“Anyway, you can leave now. If I ever find out that you lied to me… I don’t think that you can afford the consequences. If you did lie to me, confess now.”
“Old Master, I would never dare lie to you!’
Old Master Zhao flung his sleeves and said, “Just leave now.”
Ding Qiuyue felt so weak that she retired in panic.
Old Master Zhao was walking back and forth in the study, getting more and more furious. He was not going to let this thing go away , never!
Old Madam Zhao sneered as she heard what happened and how angry Old Master Zhao became. “Old Master Zhao, you were so confused in your head that you asked the bitch to carry out the plan. She is so dumb! It’s not strange that she ruined the whole thing. If this method doesn’t work, then you can use other methods. As long as they fail to keep the fields, they will have to sell them to you, right?”
Old Master Zhao felt motivated again and smiled. “You are right, good point!”
Old Master Zhao and the housekeeper made another plan. Housekeeper sent someone to look around at the Zhang Village and eventually bribed two tenants. The plan was that they would poison the six bulls. Moreover, they would ruin the seeds given to each tenant.
After that was done, they were going to be awarded 20 liang each and the fields would be rented to them at a low price.
The two tenants were not very sincere people. Hearing the profits, they agreed despite the potential risk.
The tenants were living in a very bad condition and they visited each other often. So, the limited space made it possible for them to learn where the seeds were kept, which made it very easy for them to ruin the entire pack. Some boiled water into the bags, and the seeds would either get cooked directly, or develop yeast and get ruined, impossible to be planted any more..
