Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Zhao Ruyue met with the innkeeper and took Jiang Lianzhu to the second floor.

She pushed open the door of a wing in the corner, and immediately there was the sound of trotting footsteps inside.

"Sister." Zhao Ruyang looked up at Zhao Ruyue and noticed Jiang Lianzhu with a sideways glance.

My sister never brings anyone to the inn on weekdays. He is sure that he has never seen this person before, and it looks strange to him.

"Ruyang, this is my sister's friend. He comes to our village to do medicinal materials business." Zhao Ruyue patted Zhao Ruyang on the shoulder, signaling him to put down his guard.

Zhao Ruyang's back was obviously not that tense. She looked up at Jiang Lianzhu and nodded slightly.

"I'm Jiang Lianzhu, and I want to discuss a business deal with you." She said calmly, looking down at Zhao Ruyang.

He looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing only a simple linen clothes, and his eyes showed a calmness that should not belong to a person of this age.

"How do you want Miss Jiang to talk?" Zhao Ruyang's voice trembled slightly, "There are large fields in our village that can be used to grow medicinal materials, and there are also many people who know how to cultivate them. However, there was a famine some time ago. If Miss Jiang wants to talk to us, When talking about business, before the medicinal materials are handed over to you, you must first come up with half of the deposit."

Jiang Lianzhu listened patiently to Zhao Ruyang's words. He was not polite to her at all.

Others might not agree to this offer. After all, I haven't seen the things I want yet, but the money in my hands has to be dispersed directly.

Zhao Ruyue came out to smooth things over, gave Zhao Ruyang a look, and then said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, what Ruyang said just now is a bit excessive. If you are willing to cooperate with us, you don't have to pay anything." Deposit."

Zhao Ruyang's words were taught by those in the village, and they did not want their side to suffer a loss in the sale of medicinal materials.

But there is no living Bodhisattva in the world who is willing to give them half of the money at once. They always have to see the goods first.

"It doesn't matter. If the quality of the medicinal materials you provide me is good enough, it goes without saying that I have to pay half of the deposit first. It doesn't matter even if I give you all the money first."

Jiang Lianzhu shrugged, not caring about these details.

During the period of time when she was away, Zhao Ruyue was able to help her guard the medical center with peace of mind and did not tamper with the accounts.

It shows that she is a trustworthy person.

In this case, there is no need to worry about these small things.

After listening to Jiang Lianzhu's words, Zhao Ruyang inexplicably felt that the current business could be successful, and immediately responded: "The medicinal materials we can give the girl must be the best. If the girl is willing, she can naturally go back to the village with me to see what is inside the village. There are also some that have just been planted.”

"Okay, how far is your village from here?"

"It's not far. One morning is enough to get back and forth. I know some shortcuts that can be taken, which will save more time." Zhao Ruyang shook his head.

Jiang Lianzhu made careful calculations and suddenly realized there were some coincidences.

Liu Lide had told himself about such a village before, and it seemed to be the same place as what Zhao Ruyang was talking about.

Well, I found a shortcut by mistake this time. If there is an acquaintance to lead the way, it will be much easier to negotiate business.

"Okay, then I will come to the inn to find you tomorrow morning. Mr. Zhao, please take me to your village."

Jiang Lianzhu didn't hesitate anymore and decided on this matter in a few words.

Zhao Ruyang and Zhao Ruyue looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.

If they can negotiate such a big customer now, then the people in their village will not have to worry about their livelihood!

Jiang Lianzhu returned to the village very late.

When she passed the medicine field, she saw Liu Li De leading a group of men out.

She immediately changed direction and walked to Liu Lid's side.

"Brother Li De, I have found someone here who can provide a stable supply of medicinal materials. He should come from the village you mentioned."

Jiang Lianzhu and Liu Lide were talking and explained the matter clearly first.

"Is there such a coincidence in the world?" Liu Lid was slightly surprised after hearing this. "That would be great. You can have a good talk with them then."

"Sure." Jiang Lianzhu responded with a smile, "By the way, Wang Chungui hasn't come here to cause trouble recently, has he?"

"No, I probably don't have the courage anymore. Some time ago, I have always sent people to stay in the medicine field. There are people there even at night, just to guard against Wang Chungui. But now, they have not made any move for such a long time. I guess It’s about not having any ideas anymore.”

Liu Liide said, explaining why he left with so many people.

The matter of letting them guard the medicine field overnight has already aroused opposition from some people.

He also thought that there had been no movement for such a long time, and a group of people were talking about this matter in his ears over and over again, so he simply asked them to put it aside for the time being.

Jiang Lianzhu glanced at the medicine field not far away, then nodded, said a few words to Liu Lid, and returned to her house.

the next day.

Jiang Lianzhu went to the inn early in the morning.

Zhao Ruyang had already packed everything and was waiting for Jiang Lianzhu inside the inn.

After Jiang Lianzhu entered the wing on the second floor, she checked with Zhao Ruyang again and again before saying, "Let's go."

She specially rented a carriage, and Zhao Ruyang told the driver how to go, so that the two of them could save some effort when they got to the village.

After about an hour, the carriage stopped.

Jiang Lianzhu and Zhao Ruyang got out of the carriage one after another.

Jiang Lianzhu saw a desolate scene in front of her. The men and women coming and going were all wearing patched burlap clothes, and there were only a few vendors selling things on the street.

Only a stall not far away was crowded with people, and many people made a fuss trying to squeeze in.

"Where is that place?" Jiang Lianzhu raised her finger and pointed to the stall nearby.

"That's the rice selling stall in our village. Now everyone is staring at the little rice shipped from other villages." Zhao Ruyang replied, unable to help but shake his head at the sight in front of him.

When he went to the city to find Zhao Ruyue, the village had not yet become what he saw.

But within just a few days, things changed drastically.

"Girl, be careful when you enter the village with me later. There are always some outsiders causing trouble in the village recently. If you are too showy, you will easily be targeted by the villagers."
