Such a big thing happened in the Liang family, and they had no intention of taking care of the Zhou family for the time being.
Du Wanchun took this opportunity to reopen all the rice shops owned by the Zhou family. Not only that, he also spent more money to buy five more shops.
A total of ten rice shops opened at the same time.
After shopkeeper Bo's legs got better, he helped Du Wanchun set up the shop.
Butler You had a dark face every day when he walked past their shop, obviously full of resentment in his heart. ?.?????.???
Especially when he thought that the little shopkeeper who had followed him in the past was sitting in his seat, he felt unconvinced.
Therefore, the more he looked at Mr. Liang, the more he disliked him, and he always thought about how to find an opportunity to take action.
Rice shops have opened in recent days. Many people came here to buy the rice because they heard that Zhou's rice was newly polished and more fragrant than the rice sold in the past.
Especially General Han's family. After all, the Zhou family is his son-in-law, and he will take care of business matters on weekdays.
I sent someone to Zhoujia Rice Shop early this morning to buy more than fifty kilograms of rice.
Passers-by watched the Han family's servants carry the rice onto the carriage, and they all followed suit and bought a lot of rice.
Soon the business of Zhoujia Rice Shop picked up again.
The Liang family master was worried about his daughter's marriage. Just as he was about to go out, he saw the housekeeper hurriedly approaching, "Master, the Zhou family has opened five more rice shops in our capital, taking away a lot of our business."
Mr. Liang frowned, "That little lady named Du is really capable. She opened five new rice shops as soon as she came here."
The butler softened his voice and said, "Master, why don't we stop fighting against the Zhou family? Why don't we cooperate well? One will be in charge of the west of the city and the other will be in charge of the east. In this way, even if we are robbed of business, we can still have time to eat in the future."
Mr. Liang didn't believe it and slammed the table several times, "No, who is the Zhou family? Why should I cooperate with them? I want to drive away all these country bumpkins."
He said, strode up and waved his hand: "Let's go! Take me to have a look!"
The housekeeper quickly followed.
Shopkeeper You in the mansion heard that Mr. Liang was going out, so he specially tampered with the carriage where he usually sat.
Mr. Liang hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed towards Zhou's rice shop.
The largest Zhoujia Rice Shop is located opposite Zhoujia Xiang Shop. It is a two-story shop.
Du Wanchun and his three children are here today.
However, because Yi'er and Yu'er looked so similar to Zhou Ruiyuan, the two little carrot heads stayed in the back room all the time.
Only Xiao Mianmian was outside alone.
Wei and Du Wanchun were busy collecting cash in the shop, while Xiao Mianmian sat aside and watched the excitement.
Before long, there were fewer and fewer customers in the shop.
Mrs. Wei stood up and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Du, can I go next door to buy some cold cakes for little Mianmian to try?"
When Xiao Mianmian heard that there was cold cake to eat, she immediately trotted to Mrs. Wei, "Auntie, take me with you."
Mrs. Wei raised her eyes and looked at Du Wanchun, "Shopkeeper Du, can you take Xiao Mianmian with you?"
Du Wanchun lowered his head and looked at Xiao Mianmian.
Xiao Mianmian blinked her round eyes, full of expectation.
Du Wanchun bent down and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Okay, you and your aunt will go buy cold cakes together, but don't be naughty."
"Okay, mother~" Xiao Mianmian responded sweetly, with a smile on her face.
Seeing that Du Wanchun agreed, Mrs. Wei took Xiao Mianmian's hand and went to the cold cake shop next door.
The cold cake shop is opened by an old man, and there are all kinds of sweet water and cold cakes in it.
As soon as I came to the door, I smelled the fragrance inside.
At this moment, a carriage drove up not far away.
Mr. Liang was sitting in the carriage.
Mr. Liang didn't notice Xiao Mianmian in front of him, so he asked the driver to speed up and drive forward.
The driver squinted his eyes, saw Xiao Mianmian and said quickly: "Master, there is a child ahead."
Mr. Liang was already upset and said in a cold voice: "Who doesn't have children? Keep walking."
The driver sounded a little guilty. Although Mr. Liang didn't ask him to stop, he kindly shouted to Xiao Mianmian: "Child, get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!"
After hearing this, Xiao Mianmian turned her head to look at them, and her eyes happened to fall on the horse.
The moment the tall black horse saw Xiao Mianmian, its bright black eyes showed a hint of fear, then it raised up and roared.
The carriage stopped instantly, and Mr. Liang fell heavily in the carriage.
Before he could realize what was happening, the horse continued to go crazy.
The coachman held the reins and could not pull the horse.
Mr. Liang supported the carriage and shouted to the driver: "What happened?"
The driver panicked and replied: "Sir, the horse seems to be frightened!"
Mr. Liang was very impatient and ordered: "This useless thing can't even be ridden on a horse!"
As he spoke, he picked up his whip and threw it at the mad horse.
Who knew that not only did he fail to stop the horse, but he also made the horse become more and more manic.
The carriage was overturned by the horse, and Mr. Liang fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch!"
Mr. Liang held his waist and cried out in pain.
The guard on the side quickly helped him up, "Master, are you okay?"
