311 Catch Up
As soon as he finished speaking, two people dressed in coarse farmer’s clothes came to eat the rice noodles. Xue Sifu immediately got busy.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan helped to bring the rice noodles that Xue Sifu had made to the two people. Then, they went to the fork and started to promote the stall again.
Now, it was fine even if they didn’t do it. Basically, everyone on this street knew that there were two children promoting rice noodles.
However, they wanted to expand further than this street. There must be some people who did not know about their rice noodles from other places. According to Xue Sifu, they had to sell their noodles for a few more days and only stop when their business was more stable.
As soon as Liu Guisheng saw that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were about to shout at the fork, he quickly shrank himself into the corner. Only when Jiang Yue and Xue Yan passed did he reveal his head again.
However, his behavior was different from before. He only had to pay attention to the movement of the stall, now he even had to pay attention to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan at the other fork in the road. He was afraid that the two children would discover him.
What he didn’t know was that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had already noticed him from the beginning.
He thought that he was smart enough to pick a corner that was least likely to be discovered.
When it was noon, the number of people slowly began to increase. By then, it became a full house and there were even people lining up to grab a bowl.
Liu Guisheng looked at the scene, his eyes full of greed.
He had gathered more than enough information. Then, Liu Guisheng stopped looking and left.
He had to hurry back and discuss with his family how they could benefit from this.
He was his sister’s brother after all. His sister was living a good life, but he couldn’t get any glory from it. How dare she get all the benefits while he suffered!
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were too lazy to pay attention to Liu Guisheng. After Liu Guisheng left, they didn’t take it to heart. This kind of person was actually the easiest to deal with.
…
When Liu Guisheng returned home, his family eagerly awaited the news.
His family knew that he had gone to town to survey the store, and they also wanted to know if their business was really booming. When Liu Guisheng returned, Liu Guisheng’s son asked first, “Father, how was it? Did you find the stall?”
“I saw it alright and let me tell you… Let me drink some water first. As he spoke, he took the cup of water that his wife handed to him and drank it in one go.
After drinking, Liu Guisheng looked at Grandma Liu and said, “Mother, I saw it all. Their business is growing well. The seats were all full, and there were people lining up to get a bowl. Even if they don’t make a silver a day, they can make at least a few hundred coins!”
“Really?” Grandma Liu was taken aback, and her eyes widened.
At this time, Liu Guisheng’s wife spoke, “I told you she changed! Now that she’s rich, she’s doing whatever she wants! Why was she so stubborn last time? You even went to find her personally and said that it was her fault in the past, but she didn’t even bat an eye and broke off relations with us. They don’t care about the poor at all!”
“Her family must have a lot of money,” Liu Guisheng’s daughter-in-law also said sourly. “They have fields, land, cattle, and workshops. If they didn’t have a solid family background, they would’ve never made it this far! How dare they not thank us! Now that she’s earning from the noodle stall, even if our family chased her for ten lifetimes, we probably wouldn’t be able to catch up to them at all!”
Grandma Liu’s face immediately fell. “I gave birth to her and all she did was treat me like I mean nothing to her… How dare she!”
