A farmer's fierce wife

Chapter 429 You Are Being Targeted

Xue Ling asked again: "Then what is Lin Shouye's background?"

The owner of the jewelry store said: "This Lin Shouye is a big family in Wanjin County. Their family used to sell coffins. Later, they found out that women's rouge and gouache made money, so they changed their careers. More than half of the rouge shops in this county belong to him. Listen to me. My brother-in-law said that Lin Shouye's career was not very glorious, because he grew up wearing the same pair of pants as the county magistrate of the yamen. Many people don't dare to open a rouge shop here. Everyone in Wanjin County knows about this, including my brother-in-law who usually goes to Lin Shouye's house to curry favor with him, which is why the shop has been open until now. Yes, my brother-in-law plans to open the store in the provincial capital next year, so I don't care about Lin Shouye's face."

At the dinner party of the Chamber of Commerce in Heping County, Nanfeng heard from the people at the same table that there was a market for the rouge shop in Wanjin County, mainly because the rouge shop was not full. Later, she also visited in Wanjin County. Fan, found that the supply of rouge gouache here is indeed in short supply.

It turned out that neither the people in the Chamber of Commerce nor she knew that the shops in Wanjin County were monopolized by Lin Shouye, so how could it be saturated like this?
Nanfeng couldn't help asking the owner of the jewelry shop: "The lord of this yamen is too obvious to cover up. As a parent official, he only seeks benefits for his brother. Don't the people of Wanjin County have any complaints?"

The owner of the jewelry store nervously looked outside, and there was still no one on the street at this time, so the owner said: "The county magistrate Zhang in our county is not a corrupt official, but he overly protected Lin Shouye who grew up with him. Only a few, except for our merchants who know about it, other ordinary people generally don’t know about it, so no one has made a fuss, anyway, it’s enough for those who are in this business to know it well.”

……

Coming out of the jewelry store, Xue Ling lazily asked Nanfeng with a burden: "What should I do next? How about I sneak into the yamen for you, teach that county magistrate a lesson, and let him immediately take over your shop? "

"Don't be impulsive. You teach him a lesson. Then you may know how to punish us behind the scenes. He is an official. We ant people can't fight it."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so what do you say?" Xue Ling has such a temperament, willful, and likes quick battles.

Nanfeng couldn't help but said to her: "You have to change your Jiang Hu temperament. Don't think of fighting as soon as you encounter a problem. If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess. If you can solve the problem without using force, try not to use force. Think about it." I think the last time I was in the Yashen Sect, if Brother Ye and the others hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid you and I would have lost our lives.”

Xue Ling is twenty, and being taught a lesson by a girl who is a few years younger than herself, of course it doesn't look good.

In normal times, she might turn her head and leave.

But when she thought of Long San's hearty laughter when chatting with Nan Feng that day, she could bear it again.

Maybe what Nanfeng said is right, otherwise why did Long San take care of her so much.

Even the jade token on his body that he usually treasured was handed over to Nan Feng. Xue Ling had begged for it from him before, and what he got in exchange was only two words: "Don't even think about it!"

Thinking of this, Xue Ling tried to suppress her temper as much as possible, and then changed into a pleasant expression, with a soft voice: "Then what is Miss Nanfeng going to do?"

"I don't have any ideas right now. Let's take one step at a time. Now go to the chamber of commerce."

"..." Xue Ling clenched his fist, but then held back.
