As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Chapter 50 It’s hard to defend against villains

"Zhao Nian, I was wondering why I didn't see your uncle wearing the new coat, it turns out you were wearing it--"

The woman stared at him meaningfully.

"Aunt, these two people came to the store to cause trouble first!"

In order to change the subject, Zhao Nian immediately pretended to be aggrieved and started to complain.

"They wanted to buy seeds, and I kindly introduced the varieties of seeds. Then they started to curse our shop, saying we were a fake shop that didn't even have seeds."

His uncle's jacket was made of brocade material with gold thread. It was said that one piece of material was worth fifty taels. He asked his uncle for it out of vanity.

However, his uncle specifically warned him not to let Mrs. Zhao find out. Damn it, now he was caught red-handed.

With cold sweat on his forehead, he prostrated himself in front of Madam Zhao, but he felt very indignant in his heart.

Madam Zhao only gave birth to a girl for her uncle. The Zhao family has more than one child, that dead girl. Now he has to hide even to wear a piece of cloth.

Zhao Nian swore that when he inherited the Zhao family, he would make this old woman pay!

Originally, she had specially asked someone to ship new material from another place for the New Year so that she could make a new coat for her husband. But who would have known that her love for him would end up on Zhao Nian.

Mrs. Zhao was very dissatisfied.

She always felt that her husband was too good to Zhao Nian...

She didn't jump to conclusions after hearing this. Her calloused fingers didn't mind getting dirty, and she gently tapped the dusty counter: "Is this how the head shopkeeper manages the shop?"

Chen Si understood and stepped forward immediately, explaining the whole cause and effect.

Mrs. Zhao smiled suddenly, and suddenly raised the whip with her hand on the table. The customers in the grain store all stretched their necks to look over here.

Zhao Nian felt nervous when he saw this.

Mrs. Zhao turned around and gently apologized to Cui Yunzhu: "Madam, you have been wronged. Today's incident was our fault. If you two guests need any seeds, just tell me. I will ask Chen Si to pick them and pack them for you. I won't charge you any money. Just consider it as my apology for today."

She turned around and scolded Zhao Nian, "You bastard, why don't you come over here and apologize to the customer! You don't have to stay in the store anymore after today. I will talk to your uncle and let you go back to the countryside to take good care of your parents."

Zhao Nian gnashed his teeth in hatred, but didn't move at all.

Gradually, more and more customers began to gather around. Since the proprietress was here, there must be something big going on.

Now it was Cui Yunzhu's turn to watch Zhao Nian's show. Her eyes were fixed on Zhao Nian, not giving an inch.

Mrs. Zhao moved the hand holding the whip.

"Boom!"

Zhao Nian was so frightened that he suddenly knelt on the ground. Mrs. Zhao was also surprised for a moment, but her expression soon returned to normal.

"My two guests, I'm sorry!"

Zhao Nian's head was almost bowed to the ground, and the veins on his hands pressed to the ground were bulging. She didn't care much about his insincere apology, but she was a little worried about Mrs. Zhao, afraid that Zhao Nian would take revenge in the future.

They didn't care. As long as they got out of the town, Chen Yan could easily deal with Zhao Nian, a weak man.

But Madam Zhao had made him lose face so much, and the key on Zhao Nian's waist was enough to prove how much Madam Zhao's husband valued him.

I’m afraid he will hold a grudge against me.

Mrs. Zhao saw the young lady in front of her showing a worried look. As a woman herself, she naturally understood her worries.

She smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, my friend. I still have a say in this Zhaoji Grain Store!"

"It's hard to guard against villains, and your nephew's status is evident from the fact that he was able to get the key to the store. It's always better for you to be more careful."

"what!"

Before Cui Yunzhu could finish her words, Mrs. Zhao shouted in surprise.

"How do you have the key to the store!" Mrs. Zhao was a little embarrassed.

"Madam, let's go to the yard and talk." Chen Si reminded hurriedly, moving sideways to block the guest's gaze.

There is a large yard inside the grain store, which was purchased together with the store. The yard is used as a warehouse and lounge, and all of its people are inside.

Thinking that there were other customers in the store and not wanting others to see the excitement, Mrs. Zhao calmed down and said goodbye to Cui Yunzhu. She hurried to the backyard with the maid and Zhao Nian, and thoughtfully left Chen Si to pack seeds for Cui Yunzhu.

The head of the grain store saw his wife taking Zhao Nian to the backyard in a threatening manner, so he told his apprentice and sneaked out when no one was paying attention...

Cui Yunzhu only asked for some rice seeds, sweet potatoes, and some vegetable seeds. It was not that she didn't want other things, but there were too few seeds in the grain store during the winter.

Chen Si also forced them to eat 20 kilograms of the best rice and flour, which were not the ones placed in the store lobby. The rice looked full and had almost no impurities, and its quality was comparable to that in supermarkets.

They couldn't refuse, so they thanked him and walked out of the store. But before they took two steps, they were stopped by a ragged old man.

The old man had been paying attention to what was happening in the grain store. When he saw the young couple coming out, he immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"Is there anything I can help you with, old man?" Cui Mingzhu asked.

The old man was wearing very thin clothes, and his voice was horribly hoarse when he spoke: "Girl, I just saw you selling seeds at Zhaoji Grain Store, do you want to buy some seeds?"

Chen Yan walked forward with some caution, and she shook her head quietly.

This old man doesn't look like a bad person.

Moreover, if he had bad intentions, he would not stop them here in public.

"Yes, it's a pity that Zhaoji Grain Store doesn't have many seeds."

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak: "There aren't many seeds in winter. I have some seeds. I just don't know if the girl wants them."

"They are all good seeds. My family used to run a grain store, but a sudden disaster destroyed our family and left me here, relying on my old skills to make a living."

As if he was afraid that Cui Yunzhu would not be interested, he quickly added: "I also have some rare seeds, which are rare crops. Although rich people can buy these things from caravans at a high price, their seeds are difficult to preserve without ancestral craftsmanship. My seeds are especially easy to grow!"

"But with such good seeds, why don't you plant them yourself?" Cui Yunzhu was now a little alert.

It's so good, how could such a pie in the sky fall on her?

But I couldn't help but feel excited. The old man was right, the most important thing was the method.

Even if she had all kinds of rare fruits in her space, she had no way to preserve the seeds.

"Oh!" the old man smiled bitterly.

"My enemies are powerful, and I am just trying to save my life. If I show up in public, I am afraid I won't be able to save my life. My parents have done everything to save my life. Well, I won't say more. These high-quality seeds I have have a high survival rate and a higher yield than those sold in grain stores now."

Cui Yunzhu hesitated for a moment, then said readily: "Okay, let me take a look at the seeds first."

Although the seeds were in a small bag wrapped in rags, the old man was still very careful: "I only brought a little, but it should be enough for you two to plant a few acres of land."
