Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 126 Profit Sharing Cooperation

Yunyi wasn't surprised by Guo Song's decision at all. After all, he must have a good eye to have built such a large business. She immediately signed the contract, and then they just had to wait for the Guo family to settle down in the capital before they could start shipping goods over there.

As for transportation, you can initially hire a security escort agency, and later you can form your own caravan.

"Father," Guo Yu asked after Guo Yining saw Yun Yi off, "Why do we have to split the profits? Wouldn't that put us at a disadvantage?"

"Yu'er, remember this: you need to think long-term." Guo Song smiled. "We might suffer losses in the short term, but what about in the long run?"

Guo Yu frowned.

"Putting everything else aside, just the fact that she knew Commander Huo's purpose shows that she's no ordinary person." Guo Song took a deep breath, then smiled and patted his son's shoulder. "In the future, our Guo family might have to rely on her protection."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Guo Yu was still somewhat skeptical. "She's just a little girl, even younger than my sister."

"Hehe." Guo Song laughed, "But didn't you see how respectful everyone was to her? Not to mention those monkeys, that white fox alone is quite valuable, not to mention the gyrfalcon."

Guo Yu wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found he couldn't refute it.

“If she’s really just an ordinary village girl, how could she build such a nice house? She even hired tutors for the children. I’ve even heard that she’s planning to build an academy.” Guo Song looked at his son. “Yu’er, remember, you must get along well with her.”

Guo Yu nodded: "Understood."

After returning to the shop, Yunyi called everyone together: "Today I signed a contract with Master Guo. Our furniture will be sent to the capital for sale, and we will cooperate on a profit-sharing basis. Now, what do you all think?"

“Of course we’ll work for Sister Yun,” Shen Hu declared immediately. “We’ll work for Sister Yun for the rest of our lives.”

“Me too.” The carpenter brothers nodded hurriedly. “We’ve already signed the contract and we won’t go back on our word.”

"Previously, Brother Huang and his brother split the profits. So, Shen Hu, what are you thinking? Do you want a share of the furniture shop's profits, or do you want a fixed monthly allowance and then work for me?"

Shen Hu glanced at his brothers and said, "I'll work for you. I don't want a share of the profits. From now on, wherever you go, Sister Yun, I'll go with you."

"Me too," Dragon Leopard Eagle raised his hand as well.

Then everyone looked at Li Jin.

"I...I'm naturally following you too." Li Jin was startled, his voice trembling slightly. Wasn't he just a little slow to react? Why were they all looking at him with murderous intent?

“That’s right.” Shen Ying patted Li Jin on the shoulder.

Li Jin twitched the corner of his mouth, finally relieved.

Yunyi smiled: "In that case, Shen Hu, you pick another person to accompany the Guo family to the capital to familiarize themselves with the route and see what's going on along the way."

“Okay, then… who’s going?” Shen Hu looked at his brothers.

The remaining four people looked at each other for a moment, and then Shen Long raised his hand: "Sister Yun and Brother Yun, I'll go. I can read and write letters."

Shen Hu scratched his head. Right, he couldn't read. He then nodded and said, "Okay, then Ah Long will come with me."

"Alright, then you'll travel with the Guo family tomorrow. Once you get there, find out about the Fang family of the Chengen Marquis's residence..."

Guo Song naturally wouldn't refuse to bring two people along, so early the next morning, Shen Hu and Shen Long waved goodbye to everyone and left Carp Town with the Guo family.

The furniture store is still doing brisk business, with sales on par with yesterday.

The situation was similar for the next three days. The hype died down, but the fame spread.

Yunyi went to the slave market and bought a few more people. After giving them names, she made two of them apprentices with the Huang carpenter brothers, otherwise the two of them wouldn't be able to handle the workload.

There was also an older man who had once worked as a steward in the master's household and managed the master's wife's dowry shop. So Yunyi named him Yungui and made him the manager of the furniture store, while the other two young men worked as apprentices.

Seeing that the people who bought the products quickly got the hang of them, Yunyi felt relieved; these people had made a good purchase.

In a corner not far from the shop, a person was staring at them with resentment, especially when he saw Yunyi, his murderous intent was impossible to hide.

Yunyi has an extraordinary sense of danger, so she glanced over but didn't see anything. She frowned, wondering if she was just imagining things.

Xia Xiaoyue, who was hiding behind the corner, couldn't help but pat her chest. She had almost been discovered. Although she was unwilling, she peeked at the shop one last time before turning around and leaving, heading to a small courtyard not far away.

"Why are you back at this time?" Lai Aniu was drinking.

"I saw Fang Yunyi." Xia Xiaoyue's face was somewhat ferocious. "It seems she also owns a shop."

"Open a shop?"

"It's that furniture shop, I think it belongs to her."

"How could that be? I've already asked around, he's Tiger Head's." Lai Aniu popped a roasted bean into his mouth. "You know Tiger Head, right? The big boss in town, nobody dares to mess with him."

"But I saw her in the shop." Xia Xiaoyue frowned. "Could it be... that she hooked up with Hutou?" Thinking of this, she suddenly felt even angrier. She had tried to hook up with Hutou before, but Hutou ignored her, and she didn't dare to be too obvious. She had only been away for a few months. She never expected that Fang Yunyi, that little bitch, could hook up with Hutou.

Of course, the reason Xia Xiaoyue thought this way was because she had been hiding in the county town since she ran away last time and hadn't dared to show herself. Therefore, she had no idea about the changes in the village.

The reason I came back today is because I've run out of money and I need to make some.

And it feels like so much time has passed, everyone should have forgotten about her by now.

Moreover, the villagers don't come to town often, and even if they do, they might not run into each other. Who knew that she would see Yunyi's shop?

"Hehe." Lai Aniu laughed, glancing at Xia Xiaoyue. "To be honest, even if she were to seduce me, I wouldn't want you either."

"What do you mean?" Xia Xiaoyue frowned, her voice unconsciously rising.

"That's just what I meant," Lai Aniu scoffed. "That Fang woman is much prettier than you."

"Lai Aniu, what do you mean? You're disgusted with me? I gave up everything to be with you back then, and now..." Xia Xiaoyue rushed over to scratch him, but Lai Aniu slapped her to the ground.

"Xia Xiaoyue, stop acting crazy here. Go and get someone right now, or I'll sell you off."
