Indeed, Qing Luan calculated in her heart, then looked up at him with a serious expression. "Is Su Young Master really that capable?" She thought to herself, what a sycophant, not even knowing who he was.
"You, an outsider, are still manageable for the Zheng Family," he said, noticing her flickering gaze and sensing her hesitation. He took the opportunity to add, "As long as you can hand over what you've made to the Zheng Family, you can stay here with your family. The Zheng Family will protect you."
Her eyes blinked in confusion. "Then how will the money be divided?"
Seeing that he had managed to sway her, Su Yuanhang spoke as if bestowing a favor. "You will take three parts; the Zheng Family is taking on the risk of loss, so they will take a larger share. This way, you are guaranteed to profit." With everything being taken by the Zheng Family, what did she have to worry about?
"Three parts?" Qing Luan murmured, but in her heart, she cursed him profusely. Did he really think she was an idiot? How could there ever be any leftovers from what she handed over to the Hu Family Tavern? There was never enough to sell in the first place. His words were so pompous it made her sick.
"Three parts is plenty," Su Yuanhang said, noticing her hesitation. He kindly reminded her, "Only the Zheng Family can take on everything you produce; otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Her eyes were filled with fear and unease; she knew how to play along.
"Otherwise, people like you could easily disappear at the snap of a finger from the Zheng Family. Don’t think you’ll get even one part," he said, feeling more at ease as he saw her wavering. He thought to himself that such a young girl could hardly pose a threat, so his tone grew more arrogant.
"Why would we disappear?" At that moment, Zhao Yun, who had just returned from outside, walked by them and asked curiously after hearing Su Yuanhang's words. "We bought land and settled here!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Su Yuanhang's expression changed as disbelief washed over him.
At this moment, feeling that she hadn’t had enough fun yet, Qing Luan suddenly slapped her forehead and feigned realization. "Oh right! Not only have we settled here, but we also treated everyone to a banquet. Surely what Su Young Master mentioned won’t happen!" What a sycophant; I’m just playing with you!
"Of course not," it wasn’t Su Yuanhang who spoke next but rather the villagers who were currently building a school. They stood behind him with shovels and baskets in hand. It was Uncle Ma who spoke up with an angry expression and said darkly, "The young lady is our village's great benefactor. Whoever wants to drive her away will have to go through me first." He had thought his children would never amount to anything in life until this young lady not only helped them earn wages but also built a school for their children to study. Such a person would never be allowed to leave as long as they lived.
"Just pass by me," Uncle Ma said, and immediately the people behind him erupted in righteous anger, their honest faces filled with fury.
Su Yuanhang thought he was guaranteed success this time, but to his surprise, they had already settled here. His expression darkened as he saw the villagers shouting. Feeling anxious inside, he still coldly threatened, "Shut up! Let me tell you, if you keep yelling, don't expect the Zheng Family to buy your fish in the future." Hmph, these people who relied on the sea for their livelihood would surely regret losing such a big customer as the Zheng Family.
