389 Raising the Price
Jiang Mo originally thought that her mother-in-law was at home, but she didn’t expect to see a young man hanging clothes in the courtyard. Thinking of the rich relative Chen Ni mentioned, she immediately smiled and walked forward. “Young man, you’re a relative who came to visit, right?”
After Xiao Sheng glanced at the Wang family’s second son and his wife, he had a bad feeling, but he changed the topic without batting an eyelid. “You’re Mr. Wang’s son and daughter-in-law, right? Mr. Wang is out. I’ll tell him that you guys were here when he comes back later.” ...
The Wang family’s second son smiled and said, “I’m not looking for my father. I’m looking for you! I heard that you guys want to collect the flour. My family has flour too! It’s just that can you raise the price? We’re relatives. Don’t you think so? We don’t have to mention too much. Just 0.3 yuan per catty will do.”
Although the Wang family’s second son and Jiang Mo didn’t get the story straight beforehand, it didn’t stop the two of them from thinking of the same thing.
Xiao Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, but he said with a smile, “I think you might have misunderstood something. I just happened to pass by the Yangqiao Commune. Because it’s a little late, I borrowed this place for the night.”
No matter what question it was, Xiao Sheng didn’t answer directly. He only used ambiguous words to mislead Wang Lao Er.
No matter what, he couldn’t admit to buying flour.
Mr. Wang had once said that his two sons weren’t good people and his second son was very greedy. Seeing the actions of the couple in front of him, Xiao Sheng was more inclined to believe that they were the Wang family’s second son and his wife.
The Wang family’s second son and his wife had already determined that Xiao Sheng was their relative.
At this moment, Yu Bing, who was about to sleep, heard voices in the courtyard, so she drapped a thin blanket over herself and walked out.
Hearing the creak of the door opening, the people in the courtyard turned to the door.
As Jiang Mo glanced at Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng, her mind raced. Seeing that the two of them were about the same age, she went forward and held Yu Bing’s arm affectionately. Then, she smiled at Xiao Sheng and said, “This is your wife, right? She’s really good-looking!”
As Yu Bing looked at Jiang Mo in confusion, she looked docile and gullible.
Jiang Mo came up with a plan to find a breakthrough from Yu Bing, so she said, “We’re the second branch of the Wang family. We know you want to buy some flour and we want to sell it too.”
Yu Bing wasn’t that naive, so when she heard this, she said in confusion, “We didn’t buy flour. You’re mistake.”
When the Wang family’s second son and Jiang Mo heard that the two of them were still denying it, Jiang Mo continued to persuade them, “We’re all relatives, so we won’t harm you guys. Don’t be afraid that we’ll report you. How could we do such a thing?!”
The Wang family’s second son simply used his father as an excuse. “My father asked me to look for you guys directly, since we’re family. He’s busy collecting flour outside and doesn’t have time to talk.”
Xiao Sheng knew what kind of people they were, so he naturally didn’t believe them. He said with a confused expression, “I think you’ve really misunderstood.”
No matter what the Wang family’s second son and his wife said, all they got was denial, so they lost their patience. After the two of them muttered softly at the side, they searched the courtyard and room.
Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng stood in the courtyard calmly.
They searched everywhere, but only saw a few hundred pounds of flour, some mixed noodles, and rice in the small storeroom. From the amount, they were obviously rations that Mr. Wang had kept for himself.
Just as the two of them were feeling dejected, Mr. Wang returned with his wheelbarrow. There was a plastic bag of fertilizer on the cart. The two of them immediately rushed up and untied the rope at the mouth of the bag. When they saw the white flour inside, they revealed smug smiles.
Mr. Wang was startled by his second son and wife, so he said unhappily, “What are you guys doing here?”
The couple had already forgotten how they had scolded their father a few days ago for coming to borrow money, so they smiled and said, “Dad, why didn’t you tell us that our relatives want to buy flour? We have flour too!”
When Mr. Wang heard this, he had a bad feeling and subconsciously looked at Xiao Sheng and Yu Bing. He had already been very careful and discreet, but this unfilial son still found out.
