Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 277 A Farce to Buy a Shop (6)_1

"If it wasn’t you, then who did it? So many of us saw with our own eyes, and you still dare to deny it? The people from Zhang Ji are truly wicked; such people deserve to be struck by lightning."

"Exactly, to dare use such a thick stick to strike someone on the head, it’s just too cruel and vicious."

"Let’s go, let’s go, hurry and report this to the officials. If this escalates into a serious matter, it won’t be good."

At this moment, Zhang Ming, who was inside the shop, sensed something was wrong and came out with a child in his arms, and he immediately saw the woman sitting on the ground, covered in blood. Upon hearing the accusations from the crowd, his face turned pale.

"You...you mustn’t slander people! It was clearly the woman herself who knocked her own head, yes, she did it to herself. How could you blame my wife? Quickly get out of the way; don’t block my family from doing business."

Zhang Ming was terrified and couldn’t think straight; he impulsively began to drive people away. Seeing that the crowd wouldn’t leave, he picked up the stick that had fallen to the ground and started waving it at them.

The onlookers had clearly seen Yao Taohua wielding the stick to commit the assault, and seeing Zhang Ming acting this way, they also feared getting hurt and quickly backed away.

Kind-hearted individuals quickly ran to find a coach at the end of the street, helped the injured woman into the vehicle, and urged the coachman to rush her to the medical hall for treatment.

The entire dispute was clearly seen by Mo Yan and Li Zhong. They both shook their heads as they watched the panicked couple sitting at the entrance.

Mo Yan, touching the rim of her cup, said, "Grandfather Li, it seems the Zhang Family might not be able to recover from this."

Zhang Ming might appear alright on the surface, but his actions were foolish. If he had properly taken the injured woman to the medical hall and sincerely apologized, the matter might have been settled. Now that he had neglected her and refused to admit his mistake, with the woman’s character, the Zhang Family was likely to face a lawsuit.

With such a scandal, Zhang Ji’s rice shop’s reputation would stink even more; who would still want to shop there?

Lizhong nodded, "The Zhang Family only had Zhang Fugui with some ability, and now he’s half-dead lying in bed, not managing anything. His son is useless, and now with his daughter-in-law causing such a scene, it’s likely to cost them dearly to calm things down."

Seeing the Zhang Family’s downfall gave him a secret sense of pleasure, but he felt more regret. To think that he had betrothed his lovely daughter to such an inept and muddled fool—wasn’t he just as much of a confused old man?

Watching the constant stream of people in the street, yet none entered the rice shop across from them, an idea suddenly popped into Mo Yan’s head.

"Grandfather Li, what if we buy the Zhang Family’s shop?"

"Ah?" Li Zhong was stunned for a moment before his eyes widened, "Yan girl, why would you buy a shop? I thought you didn’t like doing business?"

Mo Yan smiled, "I may not like doing business or know how to do it, but Grandfather Li, you do!"

If they could get their hands on the Zhang Family’s rice shop, they could let Grandfather Li be the shopkeeper, selling rice and fruit liquor. She could almost picture the Zhang Family’s disbelief upon seeing Grandfather Li—a man they once angered to the point of vomiting blood—becoming the new owner of their shop.

The psychological gap couldn’t be bigger!

Li Zhong looked at the young lady before him, and how could he not know that she was trying to get revenge for her family?

Suppressing the turmoil of bitterness and emotion in his heart, he smiled and nodded, "The location of the Zhang Family Shop is good, the space is large; whether it’s for the grain business or something else, it’s quite good. It’s just that the Zhang Family might not want to sell, and the price won’t be less than three thousand liangs of silver, this..."

"You don’t have to worry about these issues, Grandfather Li. You just need to wait for the shop to open and be the Store Manager." A strong confidence flashed across Mo Yan’s face—she would find a way to get the shop.
