Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

As soon as the Wen family returned home, Shen Ping noticed something was different. Ever since the Linglong Braised Pork Shop opened for a few days, Si Ya and the others' faces had been darker, and even their appetites had decreased.

But today was different. Before the others entered the house, Shen Ping heard Si Ya's laughter.

Shen Ping knew that the business of the stewed pork shop must have improved.

Sure enough, before Shen Ping could ask, Si Ya couldn't help but speak.

"Mom, you are really amazing!" Si Ya said with admiration, "You are right. Linglong Braised Pork Shop will not be prosperous for a few days. They are closing down."

Then, Si Ya told the story again. Shen Ping had expected this result and was not surprised.

"Mom, today the shopkeeper Liu came to ask for the braised pork, but I didn't sell it to him!" Wen didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, she felt it necessary to tell her mother-in-law.

Because she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so, she just knew that she couldn't swallow that.

She thought that according to her mother-in-law's personality, she would probably agree with her approach. Unexpectedly, what Shen Ping said was beyond her expectations.

"Sell! Why not?"

"What~"

Wen couldn't believe her ears. She must have heard it wrong. This was not like her mother-in-law's personality.

Seeing Wen's puzzled expression, Shen Ping explained: "You have to remember that we are doing business, in addition to honesty, we also care about profit.

It doesn't matter who you sell it to, there's no need to fight over money! Don't worry, they will come to you again, but just ignore them for now and leave them alone.

Our stewed pork is good, and it’s exclusive. It looks like it’s almost cooked, so you can agree to it and change the terms of cooperation~” Shen Ping stopped there.

"Hmm~" Wen nodded: "I understand!" Let them worry first, then we can negotiate the terms. It's their fault for not keeping their word in the first place.

Wen really admired her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law guessed that Linglong Luzhu would not last long, but the fact proved that it could not last more than a week.

The mother-in-law was sure that Manager Liu would come again. As a result, on the second and third day, both Manager Liu and Manager Xiao came, bringing gifts and looking sincere.

The shop was busy and the Wen family had no time to deal with them, so they tactfully ordered a few plates of snacks and sat aside waiting.

When the peak period was over and there were fewer people, Manager Liu took the opportunity to talk to Wen's about cooperation. He knew that Wen's had the final say in the stewed pork shop.

Dachun, my dear wife, please have mercy on me! I have old people above me and young children to take care of.

She cried bitterly and said that if Wen didn't agree, she would lose her job. She almost knelt down to Wen. Seeing that it was almost done, Wen's tone softened.

"Manager Liu, since we want to cooperate, we can't continue to cooperate in the same way as before." Wen said slowly.

"Okay! As long as you agree, just say it." Shopkeeper Liu nodded and bowed.

Wen looked at Shopkeepers Liu and Xiao. They both looked much more haggard and did not have the high-spirited look they had before.

Knowing this, they must have been very upset, so she said directly: "I will increase the deposit to ten taels of silver~"

Before Wen finished speaking, Manager Liu nodded quickly and said, "Well, that's fine~"

"I haven't finished yet!" Wen's mouth curled up: "In addition, we have to sign two contracts, one for each of us. I will sign one for you for one year. If anyone breaks the contract at that time, he must pay compensation according to three times the deposit.

In other words, if Xiaoyao Pavilion wants to terminate the contract early, you will have to compensate me 30 taels of silver, and vice versa."

This idea was suggested to her by her mother-in-law. This way, it would no longer be just a verbal agreement as before. If the other party broke the contract, she could directly take the contract to the government to sue them.

"This~"

Shopkeeper Liu looked embarrassed: "Will the price change by then?"

"This price is easy to negotiate. If the price increases in the future, we will discuss it with you."

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Liu gritted his teeth and agreed. No matter what, the most urgent thing is to return to Xiaoyao Pavilion. He knew that the boss would definitely agree to such conditions.

Because now, there is only one other family that makes braised pork except Zhang’s.

Finally, Xiaoyao Pavilion and Caidiexuan both signed the contract. Holding the contract, Shopkeepers Xiao and Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon after, good news came from the government that Manager Zhao had been found. Several other managers went to the county government office together and sued Manager Zhao.

They couldn't find Manager Zhao, but the braised pork shop opened by Manager Zhao was registered with the government. The monk can escape, but the temple cannot.

Zeng Fan ran away, but Shopkeeper Zhao could not escape. Soon, the bailiffs arrested Shopkeeper Zhao.

When the government came to inform them, Manager Liu and his colleagues were overjoyed.

Several shopkeepers went to the county government office together. The evidence was conclusive and Shopkeeper Zhao could not deny it, so he had to return all their deposits.

In addition, the losses caused were also calculated for them by the county magistrate.

The laws on doing business in the Dazhi Dynasty were very strict. Anyone who tried to get something for nothing and interfered with the market would face serious consequences.

Finally, in addition to returning the deposit, Manager Zhao also compensated each of these restaurants with 5 taels of silver.

The money that he had worked so hard to earn was lost in just a few strokes. Manager Zhao was in tears.

But he had nowhere to turn to. Zeng Fan took his money and left, but there was no contract between them, so he was not protected by the law and the government did not recognize it. He could only blame himself for his bad luck.

Now, I can only find a way to find Zeng Fan myself. This guy took ten taels of silver from me and ran away. Although I promised him 20% at that time, these ten taels of silver are about the same amount.

But he just couldn't swallow this humiliation. He had to beat him up when he found him to vent his anger. If it weren't for him, this braised pork shop would not be able to open.

Thinking about how he had invested dozens of taels of silver to buy this store, but it closed down just after it opened, he felt that all his work was in vain, and in the end, the money he earned was not enough to pay back the losses.

He was also arrested by the government, and his reputation was ruined. Thinking of this, Manager Zhao was very angry.

The key point is that he still doesn't know where Zeng Fan is from, and he has never seen his household registration book when he worked with him. Now if he wants to find him, he really doesn't know where to find him. For this reason, Shopkeeper Zhao thought of Wen's.

Zeng Fan worked for the Wen family for some time, so maybe he knew his household registration. Thinking of this, Manager Zhao's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Liu and the others finally felt much more relieved. After all, Shopkeeper Zhao was found. Not only was he recovered, but he also received compensation, which was a consolation.

They have learned a lesson from their mistakes. When doing business, you cannot just focus on immediate benefits. There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky. It may be a trap dug by others, waiting for you to step on it.
