“Well…” Li Qingshu was dumbfounded.

In order to make Jiang Yue’s plan go smoothly, Xue Yan said, “I’ve studied in town for three years. If it weren’t for the fact that our village used to sell vegetable seeds to the oil mill, I wouldn’t even know that there was an oil mill in town. For the oil shop to refuse to accept your oil, it must have given them a lot of benefits in order to suppress my cousin’s oil shop. But there are so many households in town, he can’t possibly bribe everyone.”

Xue Erfu was instantly enlightened and immediately said, “Right, Qingshu! You should go to inns, restaurants, and big families that need a lot of oil and ask them if they need it! How about this, I’ll go with you guys tomorrow!”

Li Qingshu was a little excited after hearing Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s explanation, “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll go to town and ask around tomorrow!”

He has been filled with hope again.

Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others were also very happy with this outcome.

While Yu Hongyan was happy, she also heaved a sigh of relief for her husband. It was her husband who had told Li Qingshu and the others not to sell the vegetable seeds to the oil mill. Although he had good intentions, sometimes good intentions could also lead to bad outcomes. Fortunately, this was still salvageable. Since Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had said so, the oil mill in town probably wouldn’t be able to make everyone in town listen to them and not buy their oil.

That was a high probability.

That was a town, and there were many wealthy families. How could an oil mill make everyone in the town listen to them and not buy their oil?

“This could be… it?” Li Qingshu’s mother’s tears stopped, but she was still a little confused about the situation.

Li Qingshu’s father was overjoyed. “Do you know what that means, mother?” he said. “We might be able to sell our oil!”

“Really?” Li Qingshu’s mother was still in disbelief.

“Xue Yan and I know Manager Qiao from Lakshmi Restaurant. We sold the blind bear to them. So we can go with you to Lakshmi Restaurant and ask if they want your oil. We’ll just try to ask anyway. The town is quite big, and there are so many families to ask around.”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Xue Dafu, Xue Yifu, and Xue Erfu all agreed. “We’ll just try to ask anyway, no harm in trying.”

This made them even more confident, and even Li Qingshu’s mother was happy.

Li Qingshu’s mother also felt guilty. She said to Xue Erfu, “Erfu, please don’t blame me for my manners. I was too anxious just now.”

“You were overwhelmed. There’s no such thing as no manners with you.” Xue Erfu laughed. He had grown up together with Qingshu and the others and played well with them. He was very familiar with the situation of Qingshu and the others’ families. Naturally, he knew that Qingshu’s mother was not a bad person. It was just that she had always been too anxious and confused about life. He naturally would not take it to heart.

However, when he asked them not to sell the seeds, although he did it out of good intentions, he did not consider it properly. He didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

If it weren’t for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s quick-witted minds, this matter wouldn’t have been settled this quickly.

With this, Li Qingshu seemed to have been enlightened. He laughed and said, “If the town really doesn’t want our oil, we can go to the county and ask. The county is bigger, and our oil is not expensive. At a normal price, we can always sell it. It’s just a little more effort and trouble to travel there.”

“Yes, yes.” Li Qingshu’s parents laughed and agreed with him, thinking that this matter now seems quite small.

Seeing that Li Qingshu and the others were so confident and laughing, Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others naturally laughed as well.

Jiang Yue and Xue Xiao looked at each other and gave each other a curt nod. However, they also knew that it was only resolved on the surface.

If they really wanted to solve this problem, they would have to find a way to conveniently sell their oil in the future.
