The Lady's Sickly Husband

C63. Bean War

"You still have the face to follow us? Fuck away! Don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you up every time you stand before me."

The carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, but the people in it still didn't give up, "From today, send people to collect beans. She gets beans at one cent per kilogram, then we offer two cents for per kilogram. Soon, we'll own all beans in Tianxiang city. Let's see how she can make tofu without beans!"

"Right! Right! Master you're so wise. Now it's winter, the earliest time she can buy a new batch of beans will be June next year. Now each day Baiyunju sells so much tofu. At this speed, even if they have a preserved stock, they will run out of beans in a short time."

"Eating too many beans will cause flatulence, so there aren't too many people who grow beans. I suppose there aren't too many beans across the whole Tianxiang city."

"Beans are cheap goods. At two cents per kilogram, it won't cost too much money even if I buy all of it..."

"Great idea! Even if she doesn't plan to make tofu anymore and doesn't turn to us, Baiyunju can't prosper for long without tofu. By then, with all beans in our hands, it's up to you my master to set the price for beans."

The carriage went on, and the two people in it whispered to each other, believing that their conversation couldn't be known to anyone else. Nobody expected that when the carriage past the ancestral hall, there was a tall slim figure, standing there and watching it with a cold face.

"That ungrateful bitch! There will be one day she regrets. I'll let her beg me on kneels..."

"Without Baiyunju, that bitch..."

They just got out of the village when a stone broke the wheels of the carriage, which fell to one side and threw out two people.

Boss Xue and manager Liao were cast to the ground, and the latter hurriedly helped his master stand up. Seeing that boss Xue's head were bleeding, manager Liao immediately smacked the driver in the face.

"Don't you know how to drive?"

"..."

Over there, all was in a mess while here the man standing beside the ancestral hall sneered and walked into the classroom.

Xiaoqizi of Baiyunju saw Yingkexuan's carriage coming back and rushed to report to manager Li.

"You said that boss Xue went back with anger?"

"Yes. I don't dare to lie. Once he came back, boss Xue kicked his guardian servant to the ground and then gave him a dozen of smacks in a row. It was so loud that neighbors across the street could hear."

"Does it mean that he didn't nail the business?"

"I don't dare to make a conclusion, but I heard boss Liao cursed the waiter, saying that he is too blind to ruin a big business."

"That's it. I have to report this to the seventh young lord. Good job Xiaoqizi. Go and get your reward at the counting house."

"Thank you, manager Li."

After reporting the news, manager Li walked out of the study in light steps.

Su Qi put down the fan and removed his inadvertent expression, standing up and pacing back and forth.

This woman really looked up to his expectation. She really didn't break her promise!

"Azhao, prepare me a horse."

The night was as dark as ink, hanging over the tranquil village which was remote from hustling cities. The wavering shadow of branches in the wind was just like intertwined emotions of humans in the world, either fading away or missing, they would be submerged by time again and again.
