Chapter 315 Let Him Do It

Zhang Juexia had achieved her goal, so there was no need for her to continue acting with Fang Lan. She looked at Shopkeeper Yao and said, "I remember you said you wanted to go to the shop in front to choose jewelry. Why don't we go?"

Shopkeeper Yao seemed unsatisfied after hearing this, but he still stood up and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. I've been wanting to buy a big gold bracelet for the past two days. Let's go and take a look."

Fang Lan was extremely jealous, but she still pretended to be polite and sent them out of the shop.

Manager Yao and Zhang Juexia didn't show any respect to the women who passed by her door. They pinched their noses, covered their mouths, and ran as fast as they could.

Fang Lan was so angry that her teeth were itching. As soon as she entered the shop, she shouted, "Throw these tea sets as far as you can."

The waiter looked at Fang Lan innocently and said, "Boss, after the tea was poured, I didn't drink a single sip, but you drank several bowls."

"Throw it away too."

"oh."

Not long after the clerk walked away, Fang Lan spoke again, "We don't have much money at home, don't throw it away, just wash it."

The young man must have been used to it, he just said "hmm" and went to the backyard.

A woman at the door came in and looked at Fang Lan hesitantly.

Fang Lan pointed at her and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly."

The woman made up her mind and blurted out, "The landlord is here to collect the rent."

"Didn't I tell you I'll give it to you in the next two days? Why is he in such a hurry?"

"How can I not be anxious? I am also anxious to use the silver to buy rice! Manager Fang, I heard that you have harvested a lot of grain this year. If it really doesn't work out, we can use the grain to pay off the debt.

The rent is more than ten taels of silver a year, and I come to you every day to ask for it, which is embarrassing for you, isn't it? "

This method is indeed the best solution at the moment. Fang Lan gritted her teeth and agreed, "But you have to go get the food when my wife is not at home."

The landlord was waiting for this sentence. Liu Hong liked to drink, and he specified that he would go to the restaurant in the evening. "That's fine. I'll bring people over in the evening."

Fang Lan followed up with another sentence, "We agreed that the grain will be sold at market prices!"

The landlord waved his hand and said it was no problem.

After Zhang Juexia and Shopkeeper Yao walked more than ten meters away, Shopkeeper Yao turned around and said, "I wonder how long she can hold it. I just can't stand the way she holds it."

Look at this guy, he's clearly pissed off, yet he's trying to act like nothing's wrong. It makes me angry just watching him."

Zhang Juexia advised from the side, "It's not worth it for you to get angry with such a person."

"Too."

The two went to a jewelry store and after some shopping, they were ready to go home.

"We still have to ask the Xiucai Show House for permission. We have to piss off Fang Lan!"

Zhang Juexia couldn't breathe when he thought of that smell. "Why don't we just forget it? I think life is more important."

Shopkeeper Yao laughed heartily. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

After returning to the shop, Zhang Juexia went to her own embroidery workshop first. She told Li Xi what she saw at Xiucai's embroidery workshop.

Li Xi pondered for a moment, "Boss, to be honest, the work done by Xiucai Embroidery Workshop is indeed not authentic, but we have no way to prevent them. After the work is done, we take it to the street to sell, and they can always see the latest looks."

"Actually, after a careful look, I see they've only learned a few basic techniques, and the ingredients used aren't particularly particular. To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye can tell the good from the bad, so I don't really care too much about that.

Let's not panic and stick to our bottom line. I believe that over time, those lost customers will understand what's going on."

"Boss, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

"Manager Li, you know what kind of person I am. Just say what you need to say."

"Boss, I always feel that the owner of the Xiucai Embroidery Shop is targeting us. I did hear Ding Man talk about how he smashed our shop, but he also learned his lesson.

This is what I think. It is better for us to resolve our grievances than to create them. Liu Hong, the owner of the Xiucai Embroidery Workshop, likes to drink. Why don’t we find some time to let our Xiucai master treat him to a drink and a meal.

If we can untie this knot, we can get along with them peacefully, and our business won't be so passive."

"Shopkeeper Li, did you hear something?"

"Alas, I heard them say that Liu Hong is really dishonest. He found our customers at the inn and treated them to drinks and meals one by one.

Not only did he reduce the price of goods for those merchants, he also gave them credit.

In short, it was this business that made his life so chaotic these days.

If we can invite him for a drink and talk it out, maybe it will ease the situation a little."

Zhang Juexia's face darkened. "Manager Li, do you think if we invite Liu Hong for a drink, given his character, these problems can be solved?"

Li Xi lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, "Boss, I don't know either. I've been doing business outside for so many years, and this is the first time I've met someone like this."

"Then let's just ignore him and let him do what he wants! If he wants to lower the price, then he can lower it; if he wants to give us credit, then he can give us credit; if he wants to treat us, then he can treat us. In short, these are things he wants to do, so let's just not do them."

Li Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's my fault for getting confused. I'll listen to the boss. Let's do what we have to do."

"That's right."

Zhang Juexia gave Li Xi a few more instructions and prepared to go talk to Manager Yao.

The main reason is that the two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, and they really have a lot to talk about.

Before she even walked out of the shop, she was bumped into by two people coming towards her.

Before she could stand up straight, the man pounced on her.

"Xia'er, I finally found you."

"Our eldest brother-in-law is quite promising. I heard that he passed the imperial examination and became a military scholar. Come on, you, why didn't you inform us of such a big thing? We are your family after all, so we should come to your house to drink and celebrate."

"Xia'er, where's your son-in-law? Call him out quickly and tell him that I, your father-in-law, have come to celebrate with him in person."

"You don't know, your father and I were so excited when we heard the news yesterday that we didn't sleep all night. This morning, your father didn't even eat and went to Yejia Village. As a result, you and your uncle were not at home, so we ran here again."

Zhang Defu nodded in agreement. "Your mother is right, but I'm exhausted."

As he spoke, he looked around, "Where's the son-in-law? Let him come out quickly. Let's go to the restaurant to celebrate properly."

Zhang Juexia stood up straight without raising his head, and kept rubbing his left arm that had just been hit by Zhang Defu with his right hand.

Li Xi didn't know how to respond. He had seen these two people before and they had caused trouble before...
