Chapter 237

Time flies, two months passed in the blink of an eye, and the ranch was almost ready. On this day, Manager Cao took the account book and checked the accounts with Li Qingyou, and said: "Girl, we should choose an auspicious day to open the business. I have chosen a few days these days. Do you take a look?"

Li Qingyou looked at the dates he wrote. Two of them were near the end of the year, and one was on the eighth day of winter.

"On the eighth day of the winter lunar month." Li Qingyou said: "Haven't you, Third Master Shen, been urging you to open the business? The date is set to be closer. In addition, everyone is busy during the New Year's Eve, so don't rush together."

"That's what I have in mind." Manager Cao smiled and said, "But before opening, you need to go to the temple to ask for a fortune. It's best to ask the God of Wealth for blessing or something."

After saying this, Li Qingyou laughed, "Do you still believe this?"

"Of course I believe it." Manager Cao looked serious. Seeing that Li Qingyou was too relaxed and didn't care, he began to preach seriously: "Girl, this is not a joke. You can't offend the God of Wealth if you offend anyone..."

After all, Manager Cao is a businessman, and businessmen believe in these things the most. Now he was sitting opposite Li Qingyou and spitting like crazy, and he was determined not to give up until she got rid of her "misconceptions".

Li Qingyou's head hurt from his repeated words, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Chengchengcheng, I will listen to you, let's go and invite you, okay? Please stop talking about it, my mind is messed up."

Only then did Manager Cao feel satisfied.

After talking about the business, Manager Cao started talking about Magistrate Xu's family coming to Qingshan County, "I heard that his wife came over and brought a pair of children with her. The old man didn't come and settled in his hometown."

Manager Cao glanced at Li Qingyou as he spoke. The meaning behind his words was self-evident. Although the Wei family and the Shen family were behind their ranch, the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager. At least the local Bodhisattva had to pay homage to them.

Li Qingyou naturally understands the truth behind this, not to mention that Shen San is not in Qingshan County right now, so she must make the trip this time.

"Okay, I'll pay you a visit in the next two days. If we're lucky, the county magistrate and his wife can come to support us when we open." Li Qingyou said.

The next day, Li Qingyou went to Magistrate Xu's home. Magistrate Xu originally lived in the backyard of the county government office. Now that his family members were here, he simply built a wall between the front and backyard.

Li Qingyou looked at it when he was brought in. He couldn't figure out whether County Magistrate Xu was really cool or just showing off to others. He was still a county magistrate after all. Even Manager Cao of the Shen family could buy a house by himself. , it makes no sense that the head of a county cannot afford to buy a house.

Or maybe they think that they will go somewhere else when their term is over, so buying a house is not worth it?

County Magistrate Xu didn't show any surprise at Li Qingyou's arrival. He was probably used to such scenes, but he didn't know the reason until Li Qingyou entered the backyard.

Looking at the backyard, you can hear the voices of the women talking and laughing through the door. When Li Qingyou was brought in, there was a brief silence in the room. There were elderly women, young women, or others in the whole room. All the girls turned their heads and looked at Li Qingyou.

Li Qingyou was stunned by this gesture. Although he had faced many people in the ranch all day long, they were all a bunch of rough guys, standing in front of a room full of women of all sizes. Li Qingyou still felt a little awkward.

Looking back at me, I am still wearing the same men's clothes as before, and it does seem a bit out of place to stand here.

"Is this Miss Li?" A young woman raised her head first, with a smile on her face, and her seemingly friendly appearance was full of disdain.

After all, women at this time were adhering to the principle of staying close to home. It was shocking enough for a woman to show off in the market all the time, but to do business with a man was simply unimaginable.

Li Qingyou followed the voice and looked over, not knowing the other person. In fact, there was no one she knew in the whole room.

Li Qingyou smiled in response, and at the same time ignored the contempt in the other person's eyes. It was hard not to ignore it. Except for Li Qingyou herself, almost all the women in the room looked like this.

When a person is hostile to you, you can stare back, but when everyone is like this, you can't stare back. Besides, this is the trend of the times, and Li Qingyou is not crazy enough to fight against the entire era.

Glancing at the quiet and elegant woman in her thirties who was sitting on the main seat and surrounded by everyone, Li Qingyou guessed that she must be Magistrate Xu's wife.

She originally wanted to use condom, but now it seems that she can’t do it. Li Qingyou was planning to sit down for a while and then leave. At this time, the girl who spoke before suddenly said, “I wonder what kind of rare thing Miss Li brought here, also called

Shall we open our eyes?"

The reason why she said "again" is because besides what she said when Li Qingyou first came in, she also intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Li Qingyou.

Originally, Li Qingyou was both a criminal and a businessman, and was a very controversial person. However, the women present were all self-reliant on their status, and it was not easy to discuss in front of her.

But she couldn't bear the thought of people mentioning her all the time, and she would ask a few questions from time to time out of curiosity. Although Li Qingyou had no interest in dealing with these housewives, she still held her nose and answered with half-truths.

Now that she has come out to stir up trouble again, people have to doubt her motives.

Li Qingyou frowned slightly. She was sure she didn't know this girl, and she couldn't figure out what this girl meant by always targeting her.

"It's nothing unusual, it's just two packs of snacks." Li Qingyou smiled. She was telling the truth. After all, she was someone who had traveled through time. She knew how to keep a low profile when giving gifts in front of outsiders.

As soon as the words fell, the disdain of the girl before became even more obvious, and even the women in the room had different expressions.

After all, he is also a dignified county magistrate, the largest official in Qingshan County. If the gift is too thin, he will inevitably be criticized, so it is better not to give it at all.

She had the nerve to carry just two packs of snacks here. Was she afraid that County Magistrate Xu wouldn't remember her?

"I heard that Miss Li is a big business owner, so I gave her two packs of snacks. It's really..." When the woman said this, she glanced at the county magistrate's wife.

The county magistrate's wife didn't show how unhappy she was, she just smiled and said, "It's as long as you have what you want."

After saying this, everyone nodded in agreement and repeatedly said that the county magistrate's wife was sensible and knowledgeable, which made Li Qingyou laugh for a while.

"County Magistrate Xu has always been as clear as water and as bright as a mirror. Even if I offer it as a gold mountain, I'm afraid Magistrate Xu and Mrs. Xu won't accept it." Li Qingyou looked directly at Magistrate Xu's wife with a smile on her lips.

Although this Mrs. Xu was also wearing a silk dress, it was obviously a very poor quality of silk, basically similar to what the servants of the Wei family wore.

No matter how poor County Magistrate Xu was, he would never be like this, so based on the couple's behavior, Li Qingyou felt that they did this on purpose.
