The storm continued.
In the Xiao Manor.
Han Lingying held Xiao Fan's hand and looked up at the sky.
"Husband, it's been half a month and the grain in Lantian has already increased to a hundred wen per bushel.”
Xiao Fan smiled and said,"Because the market hasn't reached the point of scarcity!"”
"What do you mean?"
"That is to say, there are still people constantly raising the price of grain in the market. The price of grain is still rising.”
Han Lingying was still confused. Although she didn't understand…her husband was amazing!
Those nobodies who had once doubted Xiao Fan now knew to come to the Xiao residence to beg?
Every day, Fifth Uncle Xiao chased away many neighbors.
These people had mocked Xiao Fan for being a prodigal.
Han Lingying was in a good mood.
Not only did her husband earn her a noble wife, but the Xiao family was about to become one of the richest families in Lantian County.
Han Lingying thought it was a beautiful dream.
She looked at Xiao Fan in a daze, her eyes filled with stars.
Xiao Fan was a little embarrassed. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing. I just feel that I'm the happiest woman in the world.”
"Husband, not only are you talented, but you're also very good at business.”
Xiao Fan smiled and said,"Speaking of talent, husband, I'll admit it if I lick my face. Now that I feel something, do you want to listen to my latest poem?"”
Han Lingying rolled her eyes at Xiao Fan.
"Yes, yes."
Xiao Fan smiled and said,"Wife, listen well!"”
"Singing in broad daylight for pleasure, one must drink three hundred cups at a time! Master Xiao, beautiful wife, don't stop when we're in the bedroom. Please listen carefully for me…"
"Husband! You're…reciting this…this nonsense again!”
Just as the husband and wife were chatting, Fifth Uncle Xiao rushed over.
"Young Master, Young Master, it's increased, it's increased!”
Xiao Fan was now like a trader, controlling the largest stock of Lantian Grain.
"How much?"
"150 wen per bucket of rice!"
Xiao Fan thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he shouted,"Open the warehouse! Selling grain!"
"Yes, I'll do it now!"
Uncle Xiao left happily. Han Lingying asked in confusion,"Husband, the grain price will obviously rise again. Why are you selling it now?”
Xiao Fan patiently explained,"This price has already reached the peak of the market's purchasing power. In other words, the wealthy families in Lantian can afford it and are willing to spend money to buy it. If it continues to rise, once Lantian is in chaos, husband is afraid that someone will start to cause trouble and snatch food."”
No matter which era it was, when people were forced into a corner, the power that erupted would always be terrifying.
Xiao Fan did not want to see that kind of situation.
Xiao Fan released the first batch of grain, about 10,000 stones.
In just two hours, they were all sold out!
There were many influential people in Lantian and even more rich people. They did not lack money, but they lacked food.
After the first batch of food was snatched away, many dignitaries tried to approach Xiao Fan and expressed that they were willing to buy it from Xiao Fan at a better price than the market price.
However, he was rejected by Xiao Fan.
In Cui Manor.
Cui Ning hurried over while Cui Jili was nervous. He asked his daughter,"How was it? Did you get any food?"
Cui Ning shook her head." House Xiao has just released the grain. There are so many people in the queue that we can't squeeze in at all. We haven't even seen anyone from House Xiao, let alone the grain!"”
"No, Cui Clan couldn't afford it anymore.”
Cui Jili pulled a long face and said,"I'll personally beg Xiao Fan!"
"Father, many people have gone to the Xiao Mansion to ask for help these days. Only the Cloud Cavalry Captain Dou family and the Yihui Commandant Sun family have been received by the Xiao Mansion. The rest of the people have avoided them."”
"Not only that, when the Dou family and the Sun family went to buy grain, Xiao Fan did not accept a single cent!”
Cui Jili muttered thoughtfully,"Xiao Fan is taking revenge! She was taking revenge on those who had hurt Madam Xiao!”
Cui Jili smiled bitterly.
Back then, when Xiao Fan was promiscuous, many people in Lantian had humiliated Han Lingying.
Xiao Fan had a noble title, so they didn't dare to say anything, but Han Lingying was different.
Those who humiliated Han Lingying never thought that this day would come, right?
Was this the so-called karma? Back then, the Cloud Cavalry Captain Dou family and Yihui Captain Sun family had helped Han Lingying. Xiao Fan was repaying them.
He didn't want to meet anyone else. This was revenge.
What a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment!
Cui Jili reflected on his own Cui family. Although the Cui family had never hurt Xiao Fan and Han Lingying openly, they had never explicitly said that they had helped Xiao Fan.
In that case, would Xiao Fan sell this favor?
Now, he was not considering whether Xiao Fan would send food for free, but whether Xiao Fan would meet him!
Sighing faintly, he said to Cui Ning,"Daughter, follow father to the Xiao Manor!”
