Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 434: Secret Thoughts of Liu Xia’s Heart

That night, Tian Si was destined to suffer in a state of distraction.
When he woke up the next day, his face was quite haggard and he had big, dark circles under his eyes.

Thinking of going to see Boss Wang today, he reluctantly cheered up, cleaned himself up, and went out.

Though his mood was uneasy and nervous, he didn’t want Boss Wang to be startled after hearing his words.
After he finished speaking, he slapped the table and laughed: “Isn’t it just two thousand taels? It’s barely anything! With this money I can come out and you will be able to do anything you want!”

Boss Wang believed that Lian Fang Zhou was trying to keep Tian Si by deliberately making troubles.
How could she know that Tian Si actually had a way to get so much money?

This was exactly what she wanted and it showed that she was desperate to make Tian Si back down!

Hmph, he wouldn’t let her get her way!

The higher the price she asked, the more it showed Tian Si’s value.

He didn’t know what methods she used to win the loyalty of those people one by one but he had spent a great deal of effort to persuade Tian Si, how could he give up so easily?

Besides, though two thousand taels of silver was not a small amount, many people were willing to buy a quilt for two or three hundred taels.
As long as he made a few more quilts, wouldn’t he earn it all back?

Tian Si did not expect that Boss Wang would not be bothered at all and even happily agreed.
Surprised, his eyes were red with emotion.
“Boss Wang, you are really impressive! Since you are willing to help me, this servant’s liver and brain are rubbish for hesitating!”

Boss Wang’s mouth twitched with amusement.
This person was not very smart, didn’t he know how valuable his craftmanship was?

A mere two thousand taels frightened him so badly, he really was just a slave.

On the surface, he smiled and sad a few good words, comforting and encouraging Tian Si.
Smiling, he said: “I will give the money without problem.
But as a businessman, I also have some conditions.
You have to sign a contract with me.
Of course, I trust you but rules can’t be broken and it’s necessary to confirm, don’t you think?”

“Of course, of course.” Tian Si nodded again and again.

Boss Wang pulled a contract out from his sleeve and handed it to Tian Si: “You can take it and have someone read it over.
I will wait here until you have decided to sign it.
After you sign, I will give you the money immediately.”

Tian Si was startled.
He had though Boss Wang would give him the money first and then have him sign the contract, he didn’t expect him to be so firm.

It seemed that he didn’t trust him as much as he said.

Though the though flashed in Tian Si’s mind, he quickly dismissed it.
After all, two thousand taels was not a small amount and Boss Wang was a businessman.
Of course, he would not make an investment without some insurance.
It was just a formality!

In order to show his sincerity, Tian Si didn’t take it to anyone to read.
He handed the contract back and smiled: “Boss Wang is really too outrageous, isn’t the same if you read it to me? I will have to trouble Boss Wang!”

Boss Wang glanced at him and smiled: “Alright, it seems that the days of cooperation are not long in our future! I am not such a despicable, sinister villain.” In his heart, Boss Wang was full of contempt.
It seemed that Tian Si was indeed born to be a slave, there was nothing in his head! However, such a person was just right for his plans.

Boss Wang read the contact to Tian Si line by line.
Tian Si understood some and barely understood half.
At the end, he didn’t find any problems so he pressed his finger print on the spot and received the two thousand taels.

After Su Zi Ji accepted the silver banknotes, he tested them in front of Tian Si’s face and, after confirming they were real, handed the slave contract to Tian Si and smiled: “Alright, you are free to go.
Miss Lian will allow you to take all of your possessions with you.”

Tian Si had been a little apprehensive, fearing that Su Zi Ji would question him about the origin of the banknotes.
After all, everyone knew it was impossible for him to have saved so much money all at once.

But Su Zi Ji did not ask a word and Tian Si was relieved.
At the same time, he felt a little lost, as if he was missing something.

It seemed that something was off…

However, the slave contract was now in his hands.

“Aren’t you leavin?” Su Zi Ji asked faintly.
“Now that you have your slave contract, leave quickly! There is no reason to stay any longer.
Even though the Lian family is not comparable to the big families in the city, it is a place with rules!”

“Yes, yes, this servant will go now, I’ll go now!” Tian Si said, suddenly coming to his senses.
He hurriedly bid Su Zi Ji goodbye and left with a smile, his footsteps erratic.

Su Zi Ji looked at his back and shook his head slightly, sighing to himself.

He really was a confused person, bewitched by Boss Wang’s promises.

Tian Si better cherish his current happiness, he probably would not enjoy it for long.

Miss Lian was a good master, she never treated anyone badly.
It was a shame that this was not good enough for some people.

He shook his head again to clear it.
Forget it! He can take care of himself! It was time to count the money and divide the profits.

Everyone would make a fortune thanks to him, they would be grateful, right?

Su Zi Ji couldn’t help but smile.

…

Lian Fang Zhou did not say much after this.
She collected the thousand taels and let Su Zi Ji distribute the rest according to her earlier orders.
Their days continued as usual.

One less Tian Si would not affect her.

What Lian Fang Zhou did not expect that as soon as Tian Si had just left the front door, Liu Xia said that he also wanted to leave.

Su Jin was embarrassed and angry when she came to see Lian Fang Zhou and tell her about this matter.

It’s not that she did not try to persuade Liu Xia but Liu Xia was determined to leave.
Su Jin had no choice but to come to see Lian Fang Zhou.

As the ‘eldest sister’ of Liu Xia and the others, she had such a temperament.
One could imagine how embarrassed she was to face Lian Fang Zhou.

On the contrary, Lian Fang Zhou was very calm and comforted Su Jin: “It’s not strange that Sister Liu Xia has such thoughts! After all, everyone is different.
Maybe she misses her hometown and wants to go back.
However, it is likely that this is not the case.
Tian Si has just left and now she is asking to leave, it’s a bit too coincidental.
Haha, to tell you truth, Sister Su, I don’t believe it’s a coincidence.”

Su Jin’s face went white and then red.
She stammered: “How is this possible! No, she wouldn’t!”

If this was the case, it could only mean that Liu Xia’s character was really bad.
Not to mention Su Jin, who was the eldest sister of their group, even Cui Ni and the others would face consequences.

Lian Fang Zhou saw her embarrassment and smiled lightly.
“If this is the case, it is Lu Xia’s business alone.
What does it have to do with Sister Su and the others? I just told Steward Su that everyone is different, no one lives in another person stomach, how could you see their thoughts? Besides, people’s hearts can change.
It’s not impossible to know someone for a lifetime and still be surprised by them.”
