Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 193 Li Li returns to his hometown to get news

"Nothing big happened in the village. Oh, by the way, the village head and his group of people set up a mountain goods store."

Mountain Goods Store? Li Li immediately became interested: "Mom, can you tell me, what is the Mountain Goods Store?"

Seeing that her third son was actually interested in this, Mother Li was secretly delighted. She finally found something to talk about. Otherwise, they would always have dry and forced conversations. She was always worried that after a long time, her son would no longer care about the family, and their future life would be difficult.

Li's mother racked her brains to recall the topic about the mountain goods store, but she looked down on it and didn't pay much attention to these things, so what she could remember was very limited.

Suddenly, she had an idea and remembered that when she went to the river to wash clothes, she had heard the old ladies in the village mention some related things.

At this moment, Li's mother felt for the first time that she was quite smart.

"That mountain product shop picks wild grapes, wild persimmons, hairy chestnuts, walnuts and other things from the mountains, and then takes them to the county town to sell." said Li's mother.

Li Li couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "So that's how it is... Was it the head of the village who did it?"

"Yes, that's right." Mother Li's knowledge was limited. "How much are those mountain products worth? They were sold to the peddler Zhang in the next village."

After hearing this, Li Li also felt a little disappointed.

Of course he knows about mountain products. Isn’t Zhang the peddler a buyer of mountain products?

I originally thought there would be something new and special about the mountain goods store, but it turned out to be the same old thing.

Those things are not worth selling at all, Li Li thought with disgust on his face.

The reason why he got to know Zhang the peddler was also because of the Gu family.

The children in Gu Cheng's family often sold some mountain products to Zhang the peddler. In order to learn more about his family's situation and to more easily control the Gu family, Li Li got in touch with Zhang the peddler.

Although he did not do anything openly, he was not idle in secret. He often secretly guided Zhang the peddler and helped him find ways to lower the price of purchasing mountain goods.

Li Li's actions were not very obvious and Zhang the peddler did not notice at all.

However, Zhang the peddler really liked getting along with Li Li because he "unintentionally" helped him gain more benefits.

In order to further cooperate, Li Li recently even introduced Zhang the peddler to Qian Zhitai, the young owner of Qianfu Restaurant, and successfully helped Zhang the peddler become one of the restaurant's suppliers.

In this way, Li Li has a good understanding of the market for mountain products.

Originally, the price that the pawnshop paid for mountain products was already very low, but Zhang the peddler and he hit it off and lowered the purchase price even lower than that of the pawnshop.

Moreover, they would quote prices according to the situation, and the price they charged for mountain products from the villagers in Shengtangli was much lower than that in the surrounding villages.

Li Li thought to himself: How much are those mountain products worth? Take chestnuts for example, one penny can buy five catties! How much can one hundred catties have?

How much can you pick in a day?

I guess the head of the village was worried that everyone would have nothing to do after winter, so he found something for them to do to prevent them from causing trouble.

This doesn't seem to be anything unusual...

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Oh, by the way, mother, are there many people in the village involved in this matter?"

"There are quite a lot of them! They are really stupid!" Li's mother curled her lips, thought for a while, and replied.

In her opinion, if she had that much energy, she would be better off doing more work in the fields.

But her family is different.

Every time her husband Sanlang came home, he would give her some pocket money.

Her family's conditions in the countryside are pretty good.

Li Li guided Li's mother step by step and asked her to tell him what she wanted to know.

Li's mother didn't find it strange. After all, every time Sanlang came back, he would ask her what happened in the village, how the three major clans were doing, etc.

She had no doubts at all, and was rather complacent about her harmonious relationship with her son.

She felt that only in this way would her son care more about the family and bring more benefits to the family.

I heard that the entire Gu family was involved in this matter. After all, the village head is a member of the Gu family.

Li Li thought so too.

Then, he asked the question that concerned him the most: "Is anyone from Gu Xiucai's family involved? His family shouldn't be short of money, right?"

Li's mother answered casually, "Of course! Gu Xiucai's family and the head of the village are from the same clan! The people of the Gu clan do everything together."

In fact, Li's mother was a little envious of such a big family, because if something went wrong, there would be the clan to help her.

Unlike the Li family, they fled here from other places and had to fight alone in the village.

When something goes wrong, there is no one to help.

But she disagreed.

"Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that disaster star coming down the mountain carrying a backpack!"

Li Li was very satisfied with this answer, and was secretly proud of himself: What about the stars in the sky? They were still dragged into the quagmire by him.

Gu Yan's reputation as a disaster star is due to his contribution!

Thinking back to the past, he really added fuel to the fire.

Why is it that Gu Yan is so high up when we all come from the same countryside?

After Li Li learned what he knew, he was relieved to know that Gu Yan was still struggling in the quagmire. "Mom, I won't eat at home. It's about to rain, I have to hurry back to the restaurant."

After hearing this, Li's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had racked her brains and had nothing more to say.

"Ah? You're not going to eat at home? It's better not to eat, so you don't get wet in the rain on the road."

"Mom, I'm leaving now!" Li Li didn't want to stay at home any longer, so he gave his mother 50 coins and left.

After all, although family relationships need to be maintained, we still have to rely on them to pass on information in the future!

But he was really tired of getting along with the Li family.

Mother Li was also happy as she watched his back gradually going away.

After all, if there is one less person eating such a big piece of meat, the men in the family can have a few more bites.

***

At this moment, Bai Xiaolian had already made plans to go home.

She said to Zhang Chang, "Uncle, Lian'er sees that the weather is really bad, so you should go home first.

I'll come back to help in the shop in a few days when the weather gets better."

These days, Bai Xiaolian has successfully attracted enough attention by helping out in Zhang Chang's shop, and has secretly absorbed some of her aunt's luck.

She knew very well that absorbing too much luck in one breath might arouse suspicion from others, which would be counterproductive, so she insisted on absorbing only a small amount of luck each time.

After all, all she did was just to cause her family some minor misfortunes, which were not fatal.
