The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

108 Chapter 108: Giving The Business To The Liu Family

Madam Liu’s eyes flashed with excitement.

However, it only lasted for a moment before the excitement disappeared.

Then, she said with a worried look, “If I were to go to town, what about the family’s business?”

The straw used to weave straw sandals could be bought from everyone in the village after she returned.

!!

However, what about receiving the goods?

As was well-known, almost all the goods in the village were sold to their family.

Although Daniu and Erniu also received goods, they went to other villages to collect them.

By relying on receiving goods, their family could earn money every day.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

“Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll take care of the business.”

Madam Liu was still a little uneasy.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Song Que speak.

“Mother, we’ll listen to Sanya with regard to this matter.”

Madam Liu was stunned for a moment, and then she nodded at Qin Xiaoyao.

Since they had already bought the courtyard dwelling, she couldn’t possibly abandon the newly bought house and not move there, and remain here in this thatched hut all because of this little bit of business.

Anyway, the business was her daughter-in-law’s, and her daughter-in-law was very smart. She would definitely be able to make proper arrangements for everything.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up with joy. She then continued to talk to Madam Liu and the two little ones about going to town the next day.

The two little ones didn’t think as much as Madam Liu. They were very thrilled to know that their big brother and sister-in-law had really bought a courtyard dwelling in town. They all wanted to go to town to take a look.

Thus, the whole family decided to make the trip to town the next day.

A while later, Big Girl Li and Liu Daniu came to deliver the goods.

After Qin Xiaoyao took stock of the goods and paid for them, she called the couple to one side and told them about her upcoming plan.

“Didn’t you say you’d only move in after summer? You’re moving out so soon?” After listening to Qin Xiaoyao, Big Girl Li immediately became anxious.

“The beginning of summer is in ten days. There is not much difference from moving three days later,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

Seeing Big Girl Li’s dejected expression, she added, “After moving to town, there are many things that are inconvenient for me to do. Therefore, I want to discuss with you the changes and adjustments to our business.”

“Sister Sanya, just tell me!” Liu Daniu said immediately.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the disappointed Big Girl Li and continued, “First of all, it’s dangerous for Big Girl Li to go into the mountains alone without me. We won’t be doing the bamboo shoot business anymore.”

Big Girl Li immediately raised her head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

She wanted to retort, but faced with Qin Xiaoyao’s stern gaze, she couldn’t say anything.

“This is for your own good. The mountains are not as safe as you think,” Qin Xiaoyao said in a grave voice.

“Moreover, if it doesn’t rain after summer, it won’t be easy to dig up the bamboo shoots.”

“There are so many ways to earn money. There’s no need to cling onto this.”

Only then did Big Girl Li nod gloomily.

Qin Xiaoyao was slightly relieved and continued, “Secondly, after our family moved away, I’ll leave the receiving of goods in the village to you henceforth.”

As soon as she said that, the couple immediately stared at Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at Liu Daniu.

“Erniu has been following you for quite some time, so he should have some experience now. And your little sister. Didn’t she always want to do something? Now is the right time.”

Liu Daniu’s heart skipped a beat.

“Of course, after you’ve received the goods, you’ll still have to deliver the goods to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant in my name. I’ll still get a share of the profits.

“Of course!” Liu Daniu said hurriedly.

His response caused Big Girl Li to glare at him.

Qin Xiaoyao knew that Big Girl Li was not happy that her man was taking advantage of Qin Xiaoyao, so she smiled.

She then continued, “Let’s just go with the price I set before. It’s equivalent to you receiving the goods and giving them to me, and then I’ll sell them.”

“Of course, you can’t deliver your goods directly to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant anymore. You’ll have to send them to my new house in town.”

This was also to prevent them from casting her, the middleman, aside in the future.

Although she believed in the couple’s character, what if something unexpected happened?

Furthermore, even if Big Girl and her husband didn’t have such intentions, it was hard to say for the people of Fortune Mansion.

“Alright!” Liu Daniu agreed to her proposal.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction.

“And then there’s the fishing net in River Ringwaters.”

“Previously, it was Big Girl who helped me haul up the fishing net. Now that I’m leaving, I can only leave this job to you two.”

“There are two ways to go about this.”

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the couple.

“The first is I’ll sell the fishing net to you for three taels of silver. In the future, if you catch any fish, it’ll all be yours. Deliver the goods to town, and I’ll buy them from you at the price we set before.”

Previously, she had set a price for the fish. When Liu Daniu went to the countryside, he occasionally brought back fish for her, but not in large quantities.

...

The couple’s eyes lit up.

They all knew how remarkable Sister Sanya’s fishing net was.

Although the amount of fish caught by the fishing net had decreased recently, as long as the fishing net was still there, they could still catch some fish every day.

As long as there was fish, there would be money.

“The second is to change the profit distribution. In the future, the two of you will be in charge of harvesting from the net. If you get any fish, give me 40%,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

She was more inclined toward the first option. After all, she would not be living in Brook Falls Village in the future. As time passed, many things that were agreed upon in the beginning might change.

It was also because of this that she only set the price of the fishing net at three taels of silver.

As everyone knew, there were no fishing nets for sale in Mountain Spring Town. Her fishing net was the only one. And it was the only one that could make money.

The couple looked at each other.

Finally, Big Girl Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Sister Sanya, aren’t you taking too much care of us?” She said with some embarrassment.

...

Qin Xiaoyao laughed.

“Take care of what?”

“After moving, I won’t be staying here anymore. When the time comes, you’ll be the ones to do all the work. I can’t just take advantage of you without contributing much, can I?”

“As for the fishing net, if you have the money, I suggest you buy it directly. This way, it’ll be more convenient for us to trade in the future,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

Big Girl Li exchanged glances with Liu Daniu once again.

Then, she turned around and looked at Qin Xiaoyao with determination.

“Alright, we’ll buy it!”

“I’ll go back and get the money later!”

The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up.

“There’s no rush. You can give it to me after we move. Before we move, we’ll do it the same way as we did before.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Big Girl Li quickly replied. She was afraid that Qin Xiaoyao would misunderstand that she was impatient.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed at her reaction.

Qin Xiaoyao only let the two of them go after she discussed with them the details of their collaboration.

The couple returned home and told the news to their family, whereupon the entire Liu family was utterly shocked.

Liu Erniu and Liu Xiaomei were the happiest, especially Liu Xiaomei.

Since the Song family had given them the business of receiving goods, she was able to help her family now.

Liu Erniu was happy as well.

They only needed one person to go to the countryside to collect goods. His parents had already told him earlier not to follow his big brother.

Now that Big Brother and Sister-in-law’s business had grown, it didn’t matter if he didn’t go with Big Brother to collect goods in the future. He could go into town with Sister-in-law to deliver goods.

If he had another handcart at home, he could split up with Big Brother and go to different villages to collect and sell goods.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were also happy.

The Song family had relied on these businesses to buy a courtyard dwelling in town. If their family took over the business, even if they made less, they could still make a fair bit of money.
