The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Chapter 686 How much is the rent

Grandma Shen was weighing herbs for someone. She was startled when she heard the words, and then looked over: "His great aunt, why are you here? What a rare guest!!"

"I came to see you." The great aunt said with a smile, "I didn't expect you were collecting medicinal herbs now. It seems your business is pretty good!"

Grandma Shen said modestly: "This may seem crowded, but it doesn't make money."

My great aunt waved her hand and said jokingly, "Don't come on, why are you doing this if you don't make money?"

Grandma Shen weighed the other party's land tax, then gave the money to the other party, and then said to the great aunt: "Hey, the children are busy, why don't I find something to do?"

My great aunt nodded in agreement: "Yes, everyone is busy, and I feel uncomfortable sitting idle."

Grandma Shen immediately agreed: "Isn't it? So I have to get busy too." After a pause, "His great aunt, do you have anything to do?"

My great aunt sighed and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about, but you are busy now. I will talk to you after you are done."

Grandma Shen looked at the people waiting in line and said, "Then wait a moment. Half an hour will be enough."

My great aunt was very perceptive: "Let me help you. When you are done here, we can talk slowly."

Grandma Shen didn't refuse: "That's fine."

Then the two of them collected herbs together. In half an hour, they had collected all the herbs from everyone in front of them.

The process of harvesting the medicinal herbs is not over yet. Some of them are wet and need to be dried in the sun. The weather is bad now and they will either get moldy or rot. Either way, they are worthless.

My great aunt still helps Grandma Shen with the work.

It took another hour, and finally all the herbs were processed.

Grandma Shen felt a little sorry: "Don't worry about this, let's go home and talk, I'll get you something delicious."

The great aunt said, "Okay, that's troublesome."

The two went to the villa together.

When we moved into our new house, my great aunt came to visit, so I knew about it, but she only came once. When she walked into the living room again, she was still amazed by its luxury.

"Sit down." Grandma Shen called her great aunt.

My eldest cousin's mother-in-law sat on the solid wood sofa with some restraint: "Cousin, you are the one who enjoys happiness. You live in such a nice house. I envy you just looking at you."

Grandma Shen was all smiles: "My granddaughter is capable, and as a grandmother, I am very lucky to have her."

The great aunt smiled, and the envy in her eyes could hardly be concealed. She said, "Yes, who doesn't want a granddaughter like you?"

Grandma Shen laughed.

The eldest cousin's grandmother changed the subject and her expression became serious: "Cousin, if I had no other choice, I wouldn't have come to you."

Grandma Shen's smile faded slightly: "Did you encounter any problems? Tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help."

My great aunt sighed and said, "It's like this. I have been working in a winery, but it closed down three months later and I was laid off. Now I am idle at home every day and I am worried."

Grandma Shen asked, "What are you worried about?"

The eldest cousin's mother-in-law said bitterly, "My eldest daughter-in-law will give birth in five months, and my youngest son is also getting married. The bride price, banquet money, three gold coins, everything costs money. Where can I get so much money?"

Grandma Shen nodded: "Yes, getting married now costs money, I understand you." She asked tentatively, "Do you want to borrow money?"

The great aunt shook her head and said, "No, you have to pay back the money you borrow. I came here to ask you if you still need anyone. I want to come and work."

Grandma Shen breathed a sigh of relief. After the family became rich, many relatives came to borrow money, but they were all turned away by Ningning. Now that Ningning was not around, she couldn't say anything: "Then I'll call and ask."

The great aunt nodded quickly: "Okay, go ahead and ask."

She is almost sixty years old and can't find a job outside the province. She has been working in a winery, working diligently for fear of being fired. But in the end, the winery went bankrupt. It really is true that man proposes, God disposes.

Grandma Shen called Shen Xue Ning.

The family members didn't dare to just give Shen Xue Ning a job. If the business was affected, there would be no way to make up for it. Therefore, no matter who it was, they had to let Shen Xue Ning review it first.

After hearing what Grandma Shen said, Shen Xue Ning was pleasantly surprised.

It was like someone handed a pillow to her when she was sleepy. She was just looking for a winery, and now there was a bankrupt winery.

"Ningning, please entertain our great aunt. I'll be back soon." Shen Xue Ning's voice was light-hearted and joyful.

Grandma Shen responded: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, my great aunt immediately asked, "How is it, cousin?"

Grandma Shen said: "Ningning will be back soon, please wait a moment."

My great aunt became a little nervous.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps was heard. My great aunt looked up towards the gate and saw a slender figure. She was tall, with her hair tied up with a hairpin, which made her naturally beautiful face look particularly pretty and charming.

Long eyelashes, curved eyes, and flawless fair skin, she is beautiful no matter how you look at her.

The great aunt sighed in her heart, thinking that a girl like this could only be matched with a boy like Qin Zizhou, otherwise she would definitely feel ashamed of herself.

Shen Xue Ning came over and poured tea for her great aunt: "Great aunt."

My great aunt hurriedly said, "Ningning, please sit down."

Shen Xue Ning sat on the single sofa, her expression calm and her tone gentle: "Aunt, grandma just told me that the winery where you used to work has closed down?"

"Yes, that's why I lost my job." The great aunt looked at Shen Xuening earnestly, "Ningning, the great aunt has no other choice, can you help me?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "Don't worry, great aunt, I will definitely help you, but now I need your help, I don't know if you are willing."

My great aunt eagerly agreed: "You tell me, I will definitely help you if I can."

Shen Xue Ning asked: "I want to visit the winery where you work. Can you take me there?"

The great aunt was puzzled, but that didn't stop her from agreeing: "Okay, when do you want to go? I can take you there right now?"

Shen Xue Ning thought for a while and said, "The sooner the better. Let's go now."

The great aunt nodded: "Okay, I'll lead the way for you."

Shen Xue Ning said: "My dear aunt, please wait here for me. I will go drive to save time."

The great aunt nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Shen Xue Ning drove the car over, asked her great aunt to get in, and then went to the winery.

It was then that my great aunt asked, "Ningning, why did you go to see the winery? The winery has closed down and there is no one left."

Shen Xue Ning looked ahead: "I want to rent a winery, so I'll go take a look."

My great aunt was surprised: "Rent a winery, do you want to make wine?"

Shen Xuening nodded: "Yes."

My great aunt exclaimed: "Ningning, your business is already big enough, do you want to increase it?"

Shen Xue Ning said calmly: "It's not enough, how can it be enough? The more the better."

The great aunt could not understand Shen Xue Ning's state. She thought that as long as she had enough money to spend, it was fine. If it weren't for her two sons, she wouldn't want to work: "What do you do with so much money?"

Shen Xue Ning couldn't help but smile: "Who would complain about having too much money?"

My great aunt agreed with this statement: "You young people have ideas."

After a while, Shen Xue Ning continued, "Actually, at this point, I can't just quit if I want to. I can only work hard."

My great aunt didn’t quite understand, but she knew that rich people always expanded their businesses: “If you can do it, just keep doing it. The more money, the better.”

Shen Xuening smiled and said nothing more.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of her great aunt, Shen Xue Ning parked the car in a yard and got out.

As soon as Shen Xue Ning got out of the car, she smelled the unique smell of wine lees from the winery, which was very strong: "My dear aunt, why did the winery go bankrupt?"

My great aunt shook her head: "I don't know. It was doing fine before, but suddenly it closed down half a month ago. I still haven't figured it out."

Shen Xue Ning didn't think much about it: "Aunt, do you know the boss's contact information?"

"He lives here." The great aunt walked into the house, "Boss, are you there? Someone is looking for you..."

After a while, a somewhat haggard middle-aged man came out. He was short, a little fat, and looked listless, as if he had suffered a blow. "What's wrong?"

My great aunt said, "Your winery is closed, right? My cousin's granddaughter wanted to rent the winery, so I brought her here."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man became more energetic. He looked at Shen Xue Ning. He didn't expect to see such a beautiful girl in his lifetime: "Do you want to rent the winery?"

Shen Xue Ning nodded and asked directly: "Yes, do you rent this winery? How do you calculate the rent?"

The middle-aged man still didn't believe it: "Do you really want to rent it?"

Shen Xue Ning answered affirmatively: "Of course it's true, otherwise why would I make this special trip?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "Do you need to go to the winery to take a look?"

Shen Xuening nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

The middle-aged man took Shen Xuening to the winery.

The winery is just behind the house, and outside the winery is a forest. It is the kind of forest that is sparsely populated and feels a bit remote, but the environment is good, with green mountains and clear waters. The wine brewed here should be delicious.

The winery is not very big and can only brew a few thousand kilograms of wine at a time. The walls are a bit black, which shows that it has been there for quite some time.

The middle-aged man introduced the winery to Shen Xue Ning: "This is a winery I built myself. It has been around for more than 20 years. The wine I brew is very mellow and delicious, but my luck has been bad in the past two years, and I have become a little proud. Gradually, the winery has been in decline and closed down last month."

Shen Xue Ning listened silently without expressing any opinion.

Everything needs careful care. If you drift away like this, or something like that, it’s your own choice.

The two of them looked around the entire winery. Shen Xue Ning felt that except for being a little old, there was nothing wrong with it. "How much is the rent?"
