Chapter 264 Chapter 264 Sprained Foot

Xu Yuan also hurriedly echoed, "Favours belong to favors, and business matters belong to business matters. We can't be careless about business matters. We still have to do business in a matter-of-fact manner, and the deeds that should be written cannot be ignored."

Bieye continued to say to Wu Jie, "Uncle Xu and I are acquaintances. I believe that Uncle Xu will not embarrass me. Therefore, I can ask you to pay one month's rent first. After this month, you will have to pay half a year's rent at a time."

Rent, do you think this is okay?”

"One month should be enough to earn half a year's rent."

If you have been in business for a month but cannot earn even half a year's rent, then there is no need to continue the business.

Wu Jie hesitated for a moment.

He had never done business before. The reason why he wanted to start a food business was because after he got engaged to Xu Yuanyuan, he heard about her wishes from others, and then he made up his mind to start a business.

But he doesn't have any experience.

What if I not only make no money but also lose money in a month?

"How much is one month's rent?"

Bieye said, "Two taels of silver."

Wu Jie took a breath.

"So expensive?"

His original plan was only about one tael of silver, but now the price was completely beyond his affordability.

Bieye said, "I gave you this price because it was recommended by an acquaintance. If you think it is expensive, I can rent it to others."

"You can also ask about the approximate number of shops on South Street."

Xu Yuansheng was afraid that this business would go bad.

"Son-in-law, I believe that Bieye is a good person and he will not cheat you. If you sincerely want to do business in the town, rent this shop as soon as possible."

His father-in-law persuaded him so, and Wu Jie himself wanted to make money as soon as possible and did not want to be looked down upon by his wife, so he shook his teeth and nodded.

"Okay, I'll rent it."

He had always known that his wife looked down on him, and he also knew that her heart belonged to someone else. He didn't know who that person was before, but today he knew it after seeing the look in his wife's eyes at Bieye.

After everything was negotiated, Bieye stood up and left.

Wu Jie persuaded her, "Please stay and have a meal before leaving. My wife is already cooking. I'll urge her to make it faster."

Bieye waved his hand.

"When we came here, we made an agreement with the village chief. The village chief's family has cooked our meals, so we can go over and eat them. You tell her not to cook."

Wu Jie still wanted to keep him.

Xu Yuan said considerately, "Ms. Gu is not feeling well today, so you should finish your meal early and go back to rest early."

"There's not even smoke coming out of the chimney in your house. I don't know how long it will be before the meal is ready. Besides, Yuanyuan's cooking skills still need to be practiced."

"It's all because we pampered her so much that she didn't do much of this work when she was at her parents' house, so she still does it now."

"Don't dislike her. If she doesn't know how to do it, you can teach her slowly."

Wu Jie knew about this early on.

"I don't mind it."

"As long as she lives peacefully with me, I am willing to support her even if she can't do anything."

…

After the matter of renting the shop was settled, Xu Yuan originally planned to send Gu Rao and Bie Ye back to Taohua Village, but Bie Ye refused, so he stayed at his son-in-law's house and planned to have dinner before going back.

After coming out of Wu Jie, Gu Rao couldn't help but laugh.

Bieye tilted his umbrella toward her and asked, "What makes you so happy?"

Gu Rao took his hand.

"When we rent that shop, the annual rent is fifteen taels of silver. If you rent it out for twenty taels of silver a month, we can earn an extra 750 taels of silver a month."

"It turns out you know how to kill someone!"

Beyeye was stunned for a moment.

“What is killing ripeness?”

Gu Rao explained, "It means specifically tricking acquaintances."

Bieye said, "I didn't cheat them. Did you forget that I also paid a deposit? We sublet the house to them and didn't charge their deposit."

Gu Rao raised his eyebrows.

“The deposit will be returned to us when we check out later.”

Bieye looked serious.

"If those deposits are used for investment, they will only earn more. Therefore, charging them two taels of silver a month does not deceive them."

"Our shop has good feng shui, and their business will definitely be good after they rent our shop."

Gu Rao was confused.

"You actually believe in Feng Shui?"

Bieye smiled.

"If you believe it, you have it; if you don't believe it, you don't have it."

Gu Rao, "..."

"Then do you believe it or not?"

Bieye said, "Sometimes I believe it, sometimes I don't."

Gu Rao, "..."

He sometimes believes it and sometimes doesn't believe it. If he is so insincere, even if there is a god, he probably won't bless such a rebellious believer!

Bieye asked, "Can you still walk?"

He didn't say it was okay, but when he mentioned Gu Rao, he felt soreness in his waist and back, as well as his legs, especially since his shoes were soaked and his feet soaked in water didn't feel good at all!

She can't wait to go home now!

"Let's go to the village chief's house to have dinner early, and then go back to our own home early."

Nowhere is as comfortable as your own home.

Although she was extremely uncomfortable now, she still did not regret her decision to come here today. She was still there just now, and Xu Yuanyuan did not hide her obsession with Bieye. If she had not been there at that time, wouldn't she have been even more unscrupulous?

Bieye put the umbrella handle into Gu Rao's hand.

"You come and get the umbrella."

Then he walked to Gu Rao and squatted down, leaving his strong and straight back to her.

"Come up."

Gu Rao looked around and saw that they were walking on the main road, but maybe because of the rain, there were no other pedestrians on the road.

The sky was gray and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, making it look a bit desolate.

When the three of us came, it was earlier than now. Gu Rao didn't have any other ideas. Only now did he realize that this road was too sparsely populated!

"Ms. sir, what time will it be after we go to the village chief's house to have dinner? Isn't it too dark? What will we do if there is no oxcart by then?"

"Do we have to walk back in the dark?"

Bie Ye is not worried.

"It's not yet the Youshi hour. The reason why the sky is gray is because it's raining. When the rain subsides, it won't be so dark."

"After dinner, we'll charter a bullock cart to go back."

Gu Rao nodded, not daring to delay any longer, and climbed onto Bieye's back.

During this period, one or two pedestrians passed by.

Gu Rao buried her face in Bieye's back to prevent others from seeing her face. With the umbrella covering her face, others could not even see her upper body.

However, there happened to be a person from Taohua Village who recognized the tall man as Bieye at a glance and took the initiative to talk to him. They happened to be heading to Taohua Village, so they could go together.

Gu Rao was so embarrassed that he pretended to be asleep.

Bieye actually didn't care what others thought, but considering his wife's thin skin, he still explained it to the villagers.

"It's raining and the road is slippery. My wife almost slipped and sprained her foot just now."

The villagers suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the husband had to carry her on his back when it was clear and sunny, and it was embarrassing to be looked at by others.

Fortunately there are few people at the moment.

"It's not easy to call a doctor in such a heavy rain. Let's walk faster. When we get to the village, you go to my house first and I'll find some medicinal wine to rub her."
