Chapter 712 The Young Lady Doesn’t Want to Marry Again 43

Zheng Xiucai, his wife, eldest son, and second son were just like when his three sons were escorted into the city a few months ago. At dawn, they were escorted to the county seat by a group of angry villagers.

And Ji Xiucai ended up as a victim again.

This time, his momentum and aura were much stronger than last time, and he once again gained a lot of support.

The charges were listed one after another: deliberate arson, burglary, house damage, and most importantly, deliberate poisoning and wounding...

Since the evidence is conclusive and the witnesses and physical evidence are sufficient, Zheng Xiucai has no possibility of escaping.

Everyone is strongly demanding a harsh sentence! We want this whole family to go to jail and exile them thousands of miles away never to come back!

Don’t you deserve it? When the situation was reversed, the one who had offended the female relatives of all the dignitaries in the entire county became Zheng Cai!

These noble people are all potential victims!

Everyone who had seen the half of Zheng Cai's face was terrified. Everyone wished that this guy would not only have a rotten face, but also have his intestines pierced!

They are all Ji Wenqing's patrons. If they hadn't caught such a scourge last night and hadn't discovered his methods, the consequences would have been disastrous!

If they have bad faces, how can they get married if they are unmarried? How can married people maintain their status? How will they see each other in the future? Disfigurement would be a devastating revenge for women like them!

I shudder just thinking about it!

A group of female relatives jointly demanded that the Zheng family members must be severely punished!

In the end, the case was defined as a "poisoning case" of egregious nature.

After the verdict, Zheng Cai, the main culprit in the poisoning case, was sentenced to fifty days of cane punishment, and he and his wife, the main culprit in the arson case, were exiled for three thousand miles. As for his two sons, each was sentenced to five years in prison and then sent to the army. They will never be able to return to their place of origin. The land and houses of the Zheng family and all the benefits enjoyed by the scholar were recovered together. All the properties of the Zheng family were sold and used as compensation for the Ji family...

At this point, the hidden danger of the Ji family's biggest enemy has been completely eliminated, and the Zheng family has no chance of surviving.

After the case was settled, Tao Ran also announced that she would no longer sell any makeup boxes for the time being.

Ahem, actually, she originally planned to slowly withdraw from the business after the house in the county town was installed.

She has already sold the third version of the makeup box.

She doesn't actually do much research on spices and powders, and she doesn't have much other innovative abilities. And she has made enough money to allow Ji Wenqing and even the entire Ji family to squander it for a lifetime.

She knew she would be leaving soon, so she didn't intend to leave such a stall for Ji Wenqing.

In addition, something happened a few days ago.

When she went to the temple, several ladies came to her specifically to drink tea.

During the conversation, I learned that two of them were from the provincial capital.

When I asked, it turned out to be from Ningzhige, the largest powder shop in the provincial capital. Tao Ran has been to the provincial capital many times, so he naturally knows that store. He also knows that they have dozens of branches in various places.

They took a fancy to her makeup box.

"Miss Ji, you are making makeup boxes by yourself. Although you have tried your best to ensure the quality of the makeup boxes, you still have insufficient resources. There is no guarantee that this incident will not happen in the future. We think you should expand the scale and use more professional products. methods to operate.”

To put it bluntly, these people came to her to cooperate.

Tao Ran thought they just wanted the formula, but they said they also wanted her name.

She said that her name for makeup boxes has already spread in several surrounding counties, and no one else can get involved in this business. So they wanted to do it with her and still use her name.

They sell them on a professional scale and promote them everywhere. And she gets a commission from each makeup box.

Tao Ran thought about it for a day and then replied: "Your plan is too troublesome. I will simply sell all the recipes to you. You can use my name, but I am only the founder. I will not be responsible for your production, sales and promotion, as well as the future." We do not take any responsibility for after-sales and service. You cannot come to me for any subsequent questions or needs, nor can you use my name. Ningzhige is the only person responsible for the product. And these must be put into words, can you agree? ?”

In other words, it's a sell-out.

Ji Wenqing did not live a good life in the plot. Let her enjoy life in this life and not cause trouble for her, so Tao Ran chose to sell out.

It’s a win-win!

Tao Ran was planning to give up, but now someone is willing to pay to take over the plate. This is pie in the sky. Not only did she get a lot of money for nothing, but she could also leave a name in this world and leave something to continue, which is very good.

When the other party heard that there was such a good thing, he also wanted it and immediately agreed.

After some negotiation, Tao Ran finally sold the business he created for two thousand taels.

Tao Ran was a cautious person and specifically requested that documents submitted to the county government office be witnessed by the county magistrate and his wife. The reason why those two people were willing to do this was because Tao Ran promised that after receiving the money, half of it would be used to build bridges and pave roads in the county.

Although the county magistrate is not a good person, he admires her generosity very much.

Tao Ran did this to let the county magistrate know that the Ji family would no longer have a way to make money, and if they ever needed money, they should not come to them.

"My family is no longer farming, and there will be no income in the future. I have to keep the remaining one thousand taels for my family's future expenses. The furniture in the new house is not complete yet, and my father still has to study and take scientific examinations, and he may have to pay more in the future. I went to Beijing to take the exam, and my brother still wanted a wife.

By the way, my sister-in-law is still pregnant. My brother has to take care of her. My sister-in-law is in poor health and needs to be taken care of, and the house at home can no longer be accommodated... The house next door happens to be vacant. I want to buy the second-entry house so that I can accommodate my nieces and nephews in the future... …”

Yes.

Chen Fang went to check her pulse a few days ago and finally felt it. Chen Fang hugged Tao Ran and cried for a while, subconsciously giving the credit for this great joy to Tao Ran.

As Tao Ran was talking, the county magistrate's wife over there covered her mouth and laughed at her: "Okay, don't cry about poverty anymore. You said so much, why don't you mention saving some money for yourself to get married? Don't worry, I take your matter to heart. I promise not to allow my master to harvest your family's wool from now on."

No matter what, Tao Ran felt more at ease with the words of the county magistrate's wife.

She considers herself to have done her best.

She worked hard to pave the way for Ji Wenqing and the Ji family. She earns her life by herself. Ji Wenqing is a smart girl and she will not let down her efforts.

The Ji family had many happy events and finally moved into a new house.

Previously, because I didn't want people to know that my family had become a nouveau riche, I only bought a second-class house. But after moving in, Tao Ran felt that it was indeed too small.

Especially since she wanted to practice martial arts, there was not enough space, and it would easily affect the scholar's study, so she did what she said, and she quickly bought the one next door.

She opened a long space for Ji Wenqing to be her private courtyard, decorated the front yard and backyard according to Ji Wenqing's preferences in her memory, and also raised two cats and three dogs. It can be regarded as a gift to Ji Wenqing!
