After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 244 Not even afraid of death

Chen Dafu hurried downstairs.

"Manager Chen, please take a seat."

Chen Dafu nodded and then sat down.

Jiang Xiaohe poured him a cup of tea and then said, "I heard something last night and wanted to ask Shopkeeper Chen if it's true."

"Ma'am, please speak."

"I heard from Chang Wei that if you want to do business in this county, what chamber of commerce do you need to join?"

Chen Dafu nodded slightly: "This so-called Chamber of Commerce is an organization formed by local tyrants. Its main purpose is to prevent others from undermining their interests."

“Must join?”

Chen Dafu shook his head: "If you are just doing small business, you don't need to join. Their Chamber of Commerce is first for tea, second for wine, third for silk, and fourth for restaurants and inns."

There are so many more sayings.

"So we need to greet them when we open a shop?"

"It depends on the situation. If your shop is small, you don't need it. But if you want to expand it to a certain scale, you will inevitably have to deal with people from the Chamber of Commerce."

Jiang Xiaohe took a sip of water: "You continue."

"If we come here to buy a shop without saying hello to the people from the Chamber of Commerce, we may not even be able to buy a good shop."

At this point, Chen Dafu said cautiously, "To be honest, Madam, my former employer's family was destroyed because he offended the people of the Chamber of Commerce."

This was a bit serious. Jiang Xiaohe felt a little uneasy. After all, she had never come into contact with such things in this life or the previous one. She could only blame Manager Chen for not explaining the matter clearly before. If he had, she would definitely not have been so rash to come to the county town.

"Why didn't you say this before?"

Chen Dafu sighed slightly, "I was busy with the shop's affairs before. When I was in the car today, I wanted to tell you about this, but I saw that you were pretending to be asleep, so I didn't dare to say anything. When I arrived at the inn, I wanted to tell you in detail, but you went out for something, so I was delayed."

Now that she understood the reason, Jiang Xiaohe only regretted that she was not strong enough. In this case, she could either do business and make some small profits in the town, and earn some money as a landlord, but if she wanted longer-term development or expansion, she would have to deal with the Chamber of Commerce.

She had seen this so-called chamber of commerce on TV before, but she never expected to actually encounter one.

Chen Dafu then spoke up again: "Actually, Madam knows Boss Meng, so why not ask him for help."

"how do I say this?"

"As for Boss Meng, when I was working in the county, I heard about him from my former employer. He was the only one outside the Chamber of Commerce."

"Someone outside of the Chamber of Commerce? He's doing business, so why doesn't the Chamber of Commerce care about him?"

Chen Dafu smiled bitterly, "It's not that we don't care, but we can't. Boss Meng has some influence behind him. The people in the Chamber of Commerce can't control him, and they don't dare to touch him. For example, he has opened several Minghelou in this county, but the people in the Chamber of Commerce don't dare to cause trouble for him."

Jiang Xiaohe didn't expect Meng Hetang to be so powerful? Why did Meng Hetang say those words today, so confidently? He thought that she would definitely ask him for help in the end. She shook her head slightly: "Who is he?"

Chen Dafu: "I don't know either. I was actually surprised to run into him in town."

"Okay, I understand. You should go to bed early. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Chen Dafu stood up and bowed respectfully before returning to his room. Just as he returned to his room, Chang Wei came down from upstairs.

"Mrs. Jiang, can't you sleep? Why are you sitting here drinking tea so late at night?"

Jiang Xiaohe raised her head, looked at Chang Wei and smiled: "If Master Chang has time, why don't you sit down and have a drink?"

Chang Wei: "It would be disrespectful to refuse."

He sat opposite Jiang Xiaohe and poured himself a glass of wine: "What? Are you still thinking about what I said to you last night?"

Jiang Xiaohe also took a sip of tea: "I thought that as long as I had the capital to do business, the rest would be easy, but I never thought it would be so complicated."

Chang Wei chuckled: "Why? Backing off?"

"How could that be?" Jiang Xiaohe put down the teacup.

"Since I'm doing business, I naturally want to make it bigger and stronger. I can move mountains and fill the sea."

Chang Wei respects what she said: "Move mountains and fill the sea?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but smile: "You are really a wonderful person. Sometimes I really want to ask you if you are really that farm woman?"

Jiang Xiaohe looked at Chang Wei without panic and spread her hands: "Why? Where am I from, my name, haven't you asked me about it? Don't you think it's funny to say this now?"

Chang Wei shook his head, staring at her closely: "I just think that it's rare for a farm woman to have your courage and ability, and I'm thinking, if you're really such a courageous and capable person, why did you choose Zhang Dashan when you didn't even look down on me?" After saying that, he leaned on the table with his arms folded: "I also asked around, you changed after the day you married me and ran away from marriage, why? You were hiding your strength before? In the end, you had no choice but to show your true ability?"

After hearing these words, Jiang Xiaohe's heart began to beat fast. She looked up and saw Chang Wei's eyes, and felt a little flustered. Could it be that Chang Wei discovered something?

She clenched her hands and told herself not to worry or be afraid. She was a transmigrated soul. She was Jiang Xiaohe! She quickly adjusted her expression and was about to speak.

Chang Wei sat up straight and said, "Look how scared you are. I just said it casually."

Jiang Xiaohe: .....

"If you are joking, I don't like such jokes. And Chang Wei, I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking about what you said. Don't you want to know why I have become like this now? That's because I want to take my destiny into my own hands, not what you said, that I deliberately hide my abilities. People can only stimulate their potential when they are forced into a certain desperate situation. I was forced to marry you and jumped into the water. I had already died once. Think about it, I'm a person who is not afraid of death, what can I not do?" After saying that, Jiang Xiaohe drank the water in the cup, put down the change, and got up and went upstairs.

Chang Wei listened to her words until he heard the sound of doors opening and closing upstairs. Then he came to his senses and felt that the tea he had just drunk tasted a little unpleasant. He just picked up the tea and thought of the words she had just said: "You have died once, you are not afraid of death" and so on. He put down the teacup in annoyance, stood up, and walked out of the inn.
