Allure of a Country Maiden

The New Year was coming in a few days, and Mr. Shi had no intention of returning to Fucheng, so he and Liu Lin went back to the village to celebrate the New Year.

Xiaoer's grandmother's house was rebuilt as a two-entry house in the spring of this year.

Everything designed by Xiaoer is as practical, convenient and beautiful as Xiaoer's new home.

People who are used to living a wealthy life are full of praise for Mr. Shi when they see him.

To put it bluntly, Xiaoer has the demeanor of her great-grandmother, a woman who is not inferior to a man.

At first, when people in the village saw Mr. Shi, they thought he was the step-husband Liu Lin had found again. This news reached the ears of his ordinary wife, Liu Ma, and they used it as an excuse to scold him.

She said that an unfaithful person like her did not deserve to be supported by the Liu family's descendants and did not deserve to live in the Liu family's house.

She said that she found a man to come to her house because she wanted to steal the Liu family's property.

She planned to drive away the Liu Lin family, and then in the name of being the only wife of the Liu family, she forced Liu Minhong to recognize her as the second mother, and then she could live in this magnificent house and no longer have to live this miserable life. days.

Mr. Shi had found out clearly what kind of life his daughter had lived in the past.

She has long hated this ordinary wife who bullied her daughter. He didn't even come to trouble her, but she actually dared to come to him!

He directly went to the village chief and asked him, "What is the rule from afar for a common wife to point her head at the wife's nose and scold her!"

"As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter if a person who no longer has any contact with her comes to my daughter's house! What if he slanders my daughter's innocence?"

"My son-in-law is gone and there is no one to discipline you. Today I will invite the village chief and your old man surnamed Liu to ask. You, who sounds like an equal wife but is actually a concubine, have done this many times. How to deal with the repeated troubles of finding a legitimate wife! Should you let a person like you, who is ignorant of etiquette, justice and shame, continue to act recklessly and bring shame to the surnamed Liu and the face of the people in the village?"

Mr. Shi Boss has been running a century-old winery for many years, and his imposing manner made the village chief and villagers stunned.

"How does Mr. Shi think we should deal with it?"

"This is a member of the village. Of course, the village chief has the final say on how to deal with it! I'm just here to support my daughter. Don't let everyone think that anyone can step on her without the support of her mother-in-law!"

"Why do you say that Liu Lin is your daughter? Liu Lin was sent here to be a child bride when she was five years old. Her family had already died in the epidemic when she was seven years old!" Liu Ma replied. After coming to his senses, he immediately retorted.

"I, Shi Zhenhong, have always been honest. I don't even bother to recognize my daughter if she is not mine. And I really look down on the little property of the Liu family! I recognize my daughter because I don't want no one to inherit my vast wealth after my death! People who don’t know me can go to Fucheng to find out who I, Shi Zhenhong, am!”

Shi Zhenhong? The name sounds familiar.

"I know. I used to work in Fucheng for a few years, and the owner of Shijia Winery was named Shi Zhenhong. Boss Shi had a daughter who was taken away when she was just one month old, and was never found! Later, he was also in his forties. How many years have passed since he had a son! Everyone thought he had no children, but he got a son at an old age, and everyone in the city knows about it."

Shijiajiu? An old drunkard in the village raised his head and looked at Mr. Shi. He didn't know anything else, but he knew that when he was a child, he knew from his father that Shijia liquor was the most expensive liquor in the entire county.

Shijia wine is the most expensive wine! Everyone in this village knows it.

Liu Lin is the daughter of the owner of Shijia Winery! sky! This is big gossip!

Everyone looked at Liu Lin differently now!

Why is she so lucky!

The daughter is married to the Marquis, and the granddaughter is the county lord!

My son runs a furniture shop again!

Now I have a rich dad!

Vast wealth? Isn’t this a great deal of wealth?

Mrs. Liu Ma looked at Mrs. Liu Lin bitterly. How could this person who had been stepped on by her for half her life suddenly have all the good things happen to her?

The person with money is the uncle, and the village chief's attitude immediately became respectful.

Then he sternly punished Liu Ma to kneel in the ancestral hall for half a month, and admitted his mistake to Liu's ancestors.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when Xiaoer's family went to visit her grandmother's house, everyone got ten taels of gold as lucky money.

Rich man! Local tycoon!

Xiaoer asked Mr. Shi privately about the murder of his wife and children.

Since others are here for Shijia Winery and Shijia Wine, they will definitely not let it go after they have endured it for so many years.

Now that her family has bought the winery and has such a relationship with Mr. Shi, their family has stepped into this vortex.

"The people who were sent out to investigate all found out that the bandits were responsible for committing murder and robbery. However, I also have some friendship with some bandits. This was not done by them. I guessed that it was the clan leader who sent people to do it, but it has always been There is no evidence that he did it. This matter is not simple. He must have been instructed by someone. The person behind it must be very powerful, but it is just not convenient for him to come forward. My winery has its own independent fleet and fleet to transport wine to all parts of the country. For the fleet, this is not an easy task!”

Xiaoer nodded, expressing understanding. In ancient times, transportation was backward, and there were many bandits and bandits. It was not easy to safely transport a batch of goods to the destination. There were always some connections that needed to be made. Moreover, land transportation in this era mainly relied on horse power. Horses are a kind of creature that can travel for a long time. Even if you can't walk, you will also get sick. So in terms of long-distance transportation, in order not to worry about the delivery date, it has become necessary to change horses along the way.

If the horse is changed midway, where will the horse come from, where will it be kept, and how many people will be arranged to raise it? How many horses need to be raised in each location? ? This ordinary horse costs more than a hundred silver dollars per horse, and it also requires food and people to raise it, so it's not easy!

The overland journey was difficult, but not too bad. Water transportation is the most difficult. It is risky and dangerous. The technical requirements of cargo ships are high and the price is high. Putting aside these things, sailing requires experience. It is not easy to train a group of experienced sailors, and experience may be Failure after failure piles up.

The loss of this failure is money and even lives.

"What they are interested in is not the winery or the wine, but more likely the freight?"

Mr. Shi nodded, "Someone once wanted to borrow my family's fleet to transport private salt, but my father and I rejected it."

Later, his daughter was taken away, and he was drugged...

"I didn't figure it out until later!"

Another private salt? There was a big case just last year!

As expected, everything in the world is prosperous and prosperous. The hustle and bustle in the world is all for the benefit of others!

The more huge profits there are, the more people will flock to them!

It is said that the person behind this is probably the private salt tycoon! Being able to accumulate, work hard, and be cautious and patient for so many years just for a land and water transportation shows that this person is not only patient, but also careful and meticulous. It is difficult to catch a sore leg with this kind of person.

Xiao'er shook his head, and there was a gap in every corner of the road.
