Bab 267: Chapter 140 Lian Manman's Plan_1

"I hear that in town, doing business requires some sort of contract. So let's draw up a contract too," Lian Manman added.

Although Lian Shouxin was honest, and rural households like his placed great emphasis on integrity and reputation, they tended to rely on verbal agreements, which meant keeping one's word was crucial. To have a formal written agreement could make some people feel distrusted. Even though he had agreed to the idea of a contract in front of Old Master Lian, he found it somewhat difficult to bring it up with Shopkeeper Wu.

In his bones, Lian Shouxin was still a farmer, not a businessman.

When Lian Manman put it that way, drawing up the contract seemed entirely for Shopkeeper Wu's benefit, so Lian Shouxin quickly echoed the sentiment.

"In business, having a contract is indeed more proper," Shopkeeper Wu said with a smile. He agreed readily because doing so also offered him protection.
