Chapter 80: Price War!
After some twists and turns, Lin Shugen finally ushered in a late spring, and when Jiang Zhu finished handling things, he immediately waited on him non-stop, happily ready to take his wife home with him.
Because they had just moved to the village, many things had not yet been implemented, and the Jiang family did not have much luggage, and they were quickly packed, and the slave hired a carriage to carry them.
Before leaving, in order to go back without being punished, the slave found Er Leizi who dared to hurt his family master and the future fulang and taught him a hard lesson. Otherwise, if the master knew that he did not protect the old man well, the old man was bullied and he did not settle accounts, he would definitely not be happy in his heart, he could not be happy if the master was unhappy, and the Er Leizi who made him unhappy should not be happy as well!
Seeing Lin Shugen returning with Jiang Zhu and his son, Wu Qingyuan and Amo who had been waiting at home for more than half a month was not surprised at all, Lin Shugen and Lin Tianbao were found early on the day they left, and when they heard that the two went to Luoshui Town, Wu Qingyuan was even less worried, he had told Lin Shugen before where Jiang Zhu went, and his father-in-law must have gone to chase his ‘mother-in-law’.
Amo was also relieved after listening to Wu Qingyuan’s explanation, as long as his father didn’t have an accident, but he never expected that the ‘stepfather’ he was expecting turned out to be Jiang Zhu.
It’s not that Amo has an opinion about Jiang Zhu as his stepfather, nor does he dislike Jiang Zhu’s origin, but when he used to contact him in Hualou, he knew what a proud person Jiang Zhu was, Brother Zhu is good-looking, and there are many people who want to redeem him, but he never agreed, but he didn’t expect to be chased by his father, who is really a fool.
“Amo, Xiao-Zhu, he and dad, we, we’re…”
Lin Shugen has always attached great importance to his son’s opinion, Lin Tianbao will not have an opinion, but since Amo has grown up, if Amo does not accept Jiang Zhu as his stepfather, Jiang Zhu will definitely feel uncomfortable after they become married in the future.
“Dad, you are such a big person, and you still ask me about your marriage? You decide for yourself, the end of the month is an auspicious day, you go and see.”
He has already brought the person home so to ask for advice, can they still say no at this time? Amo was really helpless for his father.
His dad was really stupid sometimes, how could he disagree with this, his dad had suffered for them for half his life- so how could he cruelly stop him from having his own happy spring?
No one stopped them, the two grooms were also willing. Lin Shugen and Jiang Zhu’s marriage was happily settled, as for the old lady Lin who felt that it was very humiliating to marry a prostitute and bring them home, she was automatically ignored by Lin Shugen.
As soon as the matter was decided, Lin Shugen happily returned to the village to prepare for things, Jiang Zhu and his son had no relatives to take them in, and finally temporarily stayed in Wu’s house to wait for the auspicious day to come.

The village heard that Lin Shuugen was finally going to marry another one but they were shocked, even if there was no Wu Qingyuan, the Lin family’s original conditions were not bad, there were many matchmakers who wanted to introduce people to Lin Shugen to get them married, and after Wu Qingyuan pulled the Lin family up, there were even more people who wanted to marry Lin Shugen.
Of course, in fact, everyone wants to marry their daughters and nieces to Wu Qingyuan while they were young, but Wu Qingyuan has long indicated that even if Lin Amo has no children, he will not marry again in this life- the attitude is firm with no room for negotiation, and the matchmaker who wants to propose marriage can only stop and set their eyes on Lin Shugen, anyway, as long as there is the Wu family, as Boss Wu tends to spoil his husband, the Lin family will definitely not be bad in the future, and marrying is a blessing.
After Lin Shugen turned into Lin Yishan, no longer lame and more energetic, even the unmarried young girls in the village were a little moved, the young guy was handsome, but the handsome and mature uncle was also very attractive.
It’s a pity that Lin Shugen has a bull’s temper, and he didn’t want to get remarried which cuts off everyone’s thoughts.
But now it’s only been a short time, Lin Shugen suddenly said that he was going to remarry, things have begun to be done, the people in the village can’t be lively again, as soon as they heard the other’s background, they were even more surprised, all of them sighed sourly, men in this world are the same, like goblins!!
But these words, they do not dare to say in front of Lin Shugen, they all know that he has a bull’s temper, provoking him is just looking for death, but when seeing him, they also have to offer a word of congratulations, Lin Shugen is full of happiness.
Jiang Zhu also heard their discussions in the town, but he didn’t pay attention to them, if he could be beaten by a rumor then he would be dead by now. He was satisfied with becoming a family, this is his first marriage, and marrying someone who really likes him. His heart is full of expectations, sweetly preparing his wedding dress…
………..
While Lin Shugen was happily preparing for his wedding, Wu Qingyuan’s side met a thing that he did not find difficult, but everyone except him and Amo felt was a thunderbolt, that is, the Qian family and the landlords around Shiqiao Town began to suppress him commercially!
This crackdown is inevitable, and this autumn harvest is huge, and Wu Qingyuan has finally begun to implement a plan to sell grain in stores.
Because in addition to rice, potatoes, and corn are uncommon things in Shiqiao Town, in order to sell grain smoothly, the husband and wife first sold potatoes and corn food products through Amo’s food area before selling grain and advertising them out.
Now Wu Ji Department Store and Wu Ji Food have a certain reputation and appeal in Shiqiao Town, as soon as they are promoted, the word potato and corn almost immediately exploded in Shiqiao Town, and then the sale of potatoes, corn, and rice on the shelves is naturally hot.
Because of the variety, the rice produced by the rice seeds brought by Wu Qingyuan from modern times is also polished rice, but the quality is much better than the generally polished rice of this era, and everyone can eat better things at the same price, and the townspeople undoubtedly choose the rice of the Wu family.
In particular, the two novelties, potatoes and corn, are even more popular, because for a few more yuan they can eat corn comparable to fine grains, and no one will refuse such a good deal.
For a while, Wu Ji’s business became hot again.
The Wu family’s business is hot, then the business of other grain stores in the town has naturally been affected, especially the Qian family, which is known as the largest grain shop in Shiqiao Town- they naturally have the greatest loss. Coupled with their many confrontations with Wu Qingyuan and their suffered losses, how can Mrs. Qian, who is now in charge of the family, sit still?
On the cusp of the limelight, she would not use the means of evil methods like Qian Yuan, but she wanted to act in a normal business fight, and immediately reacted, summoning the owners of other grain stores in Shiqiao Town to reduce the price together, hoping to resist the suppression of the Wu family’s grain at a favorable price.
The Wu family is just a newly rising small merchant, they do not have the background nor financial resources comparable to these old landlords, although this price reduction will lose them some silver, if it can force the Wu family’s business to death, it is worth it.
At the same time, Mrs. Qian and several other landlords also used their own power and connections to cut off Wu Qingyuan’s source of goods again, this time it was not wood, but the source of ordinary goods in Wu Qingyuan’s store, those ‘overseas goods’ in Wu Ji’s store they can’t remove, but as for other channels, as long as Wu Qingyuan wants to buy goods near Shiqiao Town, they have a way, cut off most of the goods in Wu Ji’s store to see how Wu Ji opens in the future!
In addition to these, there were also the fields, and when they received the news that Wu Qingyuan wanted to continue to buy fields to expand grain cultivation, Mrs. Qian and other landlords quickly sent people to coerce and lure all the fields that could be purchased near Shiqiao Town, regardless of whether they were wasteland or good land, without giving Wu Qingyuan a chance to develop.
All the landlords of the current time have begun to be jealous of his profits, and if Wu Qingyuan continues to develop, in the future, if there is one more ‘Wu mansion’ in Shiqiao Town, everyone’s interests will be divided up by a large part, and no old landlord is willing to look at a new force to emerge.
In order to suppress Wu Qingyuan, everyone has already done what they could and they did not hesitate to use a move to hurt the enemy with a thousand cuts while inflicting eight hundred on themselves. They must give the Wu family a thunderous blow and beat the Wu family and not give them a chance to recover!
“Master, the business in the shop has been reduced by more than half in the past few days, and the income is still decreasing, and everyone has run to buy food from the Qian’s house and other grain stores in the town…”
Wang Dafu and several slaves who handled the affairs of the grain store looked sad.
No matter how good their business methods are, they can’t withstand the loss inflicted by the Qian family, and no matter how much the townspeople and villagers like the taste of their grain, they can be tempted by low-priced food, after all, filling their stomachs is the most important thing, and appetite is second.
“How much have their prices come down?”
“Ten yuan for polished rice, five yuan for coarse grains…..”
The capital price of normal polished rice is eight yuan, and for coarse grain, it is five wen. The Qian family and the grain store owners in the town have to suppress him even if they don’t make money.
In addition, the replenishment of the supply of miscellaneous goods in the store has also been cut off, and there are no daily ordinary goods, and it is impossible to attract customers by relying on ‘overseas’ items alone.
“Master, do you think we should also reduce the price? If we continue like this, our grain will not be sold, and if we keep it in our hands, it will become stale tomorrow” Everyone helplessly suggested.
“No, keep selling at the original price.” Wu Qing was far from being suppressed.
“But master, at our price, it can’t be sold at all…” Seeing his calm and stubborn attitude, Wang Dafu was about to die.
“You just do as I say, have you bought all the mountains I ordered earlier?”
Wu Qingyuan was still not panicking.
Everyone can only shut up when they see his attitude, the master’s character has always been stubborn- once decided, it will not change, Wang Dafu is in a hurry, but since he can’t persuade him, he can only sigh and report.
“We all bought them according to the master’s orders, there are those fields we couldn’t buy even if we wanted to, the Qian family and a few wealthy families have joined hands to buy them all, and there are no more fields to buy near the entire Shiqiao Town…”
“Okay, let these things go, for the time being, you guys go and help the master prepare for marriage first.”
Wu Qingyuan knocked on the table and ordered with a smile on his face.
Ohoho, he is plotting something!
