Chapter 211: Encountering Border Army Reinforcements on the Road

Li Guangyuan heard what she meant and couldn't help laughing. "Who says it's not true? We have mountains and land, and we've had policy support over the years. We're not as good as the rich, but we're better off than the poor. But the factory was originally started by my dad and his relatives. Not only did we not make much money, but we were losing money. When the relatives saw that things were not going well, they just quit the business. Only my dad was stubborn and felt it was a pity. He gritted his teeth and held on for a few years. Now we're in a difficult situation. The product line is there. If we stop for a day, we'll lose money. If we don't stop, we'll lose more and more money."

Tu Huan doesn't understand business matters.

Li Guangyuan said he was used to it, and for a moment he didn't hug her and said a little more, but he quickly stopped and said straight away: "What I said is not important, anyway, I just want to tell you the source of this batch of inventory. There is definitely no problem with the quality. If you think it's okay, I can pick you up to inspect the goods anytime."

Tu Huan nodded, "Yes, I understand."

Li Guangyuan had finished his drink, but he still hadn't heard from his old classmate whether he wanted more. After thinking for a moment, he asked Tu Huan uncertainly, "How is it? Does it suit you? Do you want some? I'm sure the price will be lower than what you can buy online. It's a real wholesale price. If you pay quickly, I'll give you a special discount."

Tu Huan thought for a moment, "How good of a deal can I get?"

Li Guangyuan was stunned: "..." Huh? He just said it casually.

Tu Huan silently calculated the required quantity in her mind: "If the quality is no problem, you can give me all the goods in the warehouse. Cash settlement, full amount."

Li Guangyuan was completely stunned: "!!!"

Li Guangyuan is gone.

He walked away with light feet and a rosy face.

He never imagined that just a casual refresh and a phone call to an old classmate he hadn't contacted in years would solve his family's biggest problem before the New Year! The workers' wages could be paid, and his father no longer had to beg for help from everyone.

After he confirmed Tu Huan's purchasing intention again and again, he finally went home satisfied and reported the good news!

After Li Guangyuan left, Tu Huan looked at the photos he sent her, and sitting in her original seat, she thought of a new question.

She needed a suitable place to store a large amount of supplies.

Just like the warehouse at Li Guangyuan’s house.

I casually wrote down my needs on the memo list, took the last sip, and continued to go downstairs to choose things.

This time, the main focus was not on buying, but on "selecting". If she thought that Xie Yuchuan and the others would need something later on, she would search online and add it to the shopping cart. She would not care about time and would go back to study the quantity and place the order. If it was something urgent, she would just throw it into the shopping cart.

This time, she planned to deliver as many supplies as possible to the Xie family before going to Haicheng. After leaving the villa, she had no way of predicting future unexpected situations.

The best case scenario is to arm Xie Yuchuan and the others to the teeth during the short period of time when she is away in the future.

Although it may not be practical in actual operation, after all, there are many people and eyes in a team of hundreds.

That depends on whether Xie Yuchuan can do it.

On a weekday afternoon, there weren't too many people in the supermarket. Tu Huan chose very carefully, and the supermarket staff patiently explained everything in detail. As it was almost time to get off work, more and more people came into the supermarket.

After shopping for most of the day, Tu Huan basically completed the "work tasks" planned for today. She went to the pharmacy to pick up her things and drove home to pack her things.

As soon as I got home, my old classmate Li Guangyuan called me. Li Guangyuan's voice on the phone was enthusiastic and happy. He quoted a discounted price that even Tu Huan felt she was getting a bargain, but the other party thought it was no problem. As long as the payment for the goods was not delayed before the New Year, it would be better than anything else.

The two of them briefly finalized the content of the transaction and agreed to sign the contract the next morning. The contract would take effect and the payment would be settled upon delivery.

After hanging up the phone, Tu Huan sent a message to Xie Yuchuan to ask him where he was now.

Soon, Xie Yuchuan's message came:

"Xie Yuchuan: We encountered reinforcements from the border army on the way, so we temporarily set up camp to rest."

Tu Huan glanced casually and paused for a moment: "Border troops reinforcements?"

On the wasteland beside the post road in Qingzhou Prefecture, Daliang, a group of fugitives in tattered clothes sat on the ground, staring blankly at the soldiers holding spears and galloping in formation one after another on the road ahead.

With messy footsteps and tens of thousands of people stomping heavily on the ground at the same time, the convicts felt that the ground beneath their butts was shaking.

Xiong Jiushan and other escorting officers had serious expressions on their faces at this time. They were guarding all around, looking ready for battle.

It was not to guard against the Daliang army, but to prevent such a situation where the escorted convicts might not do well and cause trouble.

Ordinary people don't usually see such scenes.

Cheng Ye came to Xiong Jiushan with a nervous look on his face, "Sir, is this the army heading north?"

Since Xiong Jiushan received the advance notice from the front, he quickly moved the fugitives to an open and wide area, leaving the road free for the army behind.

He was a low-ranking officer in the military camp in the capital and had never been to the front line. When he saw the army heading to the border, he was reminded of the post horses that rushed into the city at the first moment of the morning when he was in Songjiang Town.

Urgent news from the border, the court responded so quickly?

Xiong Jiushan was a little puzzled.

There were some people in the convict group who were more familiar with this kind of marching and fighting, including Xie Yuchuan and other male members of the Xie family.

Among the Xie family's guards, only one-third had followed their generals to the front line.

In the team, more than twenty people stood up from different positions at the same time and looked at the large group of people passing by them.

Zhou Chuan, a guard who had been on the front lines with Xie Yuchuan before, stood beside Xie Yuchuan and watched for a long time. He couldn't help but frown and whispered, "This army is leaving in a hurry, and military discipline is lax. General, are they going to the border to reinforce or to die?"

When the people nearby heard Zhou Chuan's words, they couldn't help but look at Xie Yuchuan.

Xie Yuchuan frowned slightly. "The northern enemy is fierce and powerful. It's winter now, and the grasslands are short of food and clothing. They are marching south to plunder, which is a sign of their bravery." He looked up at the sky, his gaze far ahead. "This winter's battle will be difficult. If the reinforcements are so powerful, I'm afraid the border troops will have an even harder time."

Among the fugitives who stood up, there were some who shared the same idea as Xie Yuchuan.

Normally, everyone is just walking along numbly, until they see the army passing by. Those who have served in the army can't help but stand up and watch.

Although Zhang Dayi did not join the army, he looked unhappy when he saw what was happening.

"The troops were mobilized so quickly."

Xie Yuchuan didn't say anything.

Zhang Dayi sighed, "If the North keeps dealing with this perfunctorily, there will be more and more refugees."

Just as Xie Yuchuan was about to speak, he heard the family god asking where he had gone.

He looked at the reinforcements marching in a disorderly manner and replied in a low voice.

Soon, the voice of the household god rang in my ears again:

"There's a war going on next to you?!"
