Chapter 56: Too Much Bullying
"Yes, although 6,000 kilograms is a lot, it is not a big order for the Xie family. Why would the third shopkeeper come here in person?"
The boss stroked his chin and thought for a long time, finally shaking his head, "Alas, I can't figure it out. They may have their own plans. We can't guess or tell, so let's not waste our brains. By the way, what did Yu Niang come to see me about?"
Liang Jinyu came here for two reasons: one was to settle the balance, and the other was to buy some more food.
But before that, there is one more thing.
"Is your brother-in-law, Liu Yaren, at home?"
The boss's expression suddenly changed, and he asked hurriedly: "Yu Niang, is there something wrong with that house?"
Liang Jinyu nodded: "There are a lot of questions, so I want to talk to him in person."
"That bastard! If it weren't for my wife, I would have stopped associating with him a long time ago."
The boss cursed angrily, then turned around to intercede, "Yu Niang, I am also responsible for this matter. How about this? I will compensate you for the rent. I just hope you don't send him to the government. He is still young. If he goes to jail, his life will be ruined."
Liang Jinyu knew that the boss had misunderstood, and explained: "Don't worry, the lease of the house has expired, and I wanted to ask him about the situation."
"Oh, that's good. That's good." The boss heaved a sigh of relief and quickly called a waiter to call Liu Yaren.
While waiting for someone, Liang Jinyu told the boss that she still needed to buy food.
But this time the boss did not agree readily.
"It's not that I don't want to do this deal. After all, who doesn't want to make money? It's just that I really don't have that much food, and I don't have enough manpower."
Liang Jinyu frowned. When she had no money, she just wanted to earn a hundred or eighty taels. But now she had a thousand taels in her hand, so naturally she wanted to invest more.
"If you don't have refined rice, flour or brown rice will do. If you have soybeans or peanuts, I'll take them too."
The boss pulled the corner of his mouth, leaned in and asked in a low voice: "Yu Niang, do you know anything about this?"
It would be fine if only one person was hoarding food, but now it's the Xie family, the Chu family, and even this inexplicably appearing Yu Niang are hoarding food. It's really hard not to think of something.
Liang Jinyu suddenly realized that something was wrong. She stored food because she knew there would be a famine, but what about the Xie family?
Could it be that besides her and Dani, there are other people who have had the same adventure?
Thinking of this possibility, Liang Jinyu couldn't help but get nervous. If everyone was hoarding food, would she still be able to make money?
"Why ask so many questions? Just tell me whether you have it or not!" Liang Dingfang interrupted.
Seeing the boy's grim expression, the boss smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, I won't ask."
There was no refined rice, but Liang Jinyu was not picky and ordered two thousand kilograms of corn, three thousand kilograms of brown rice, and several hundred kilograms of peanuts, soybeans, etc.
"Please keep the goods for me first, and I will come to pick them up next month." Liang Jinyu added.
The boss naturally agreed happily, but at the same time he had his own plans in mind.
It seemed that he needed to go out of town. Whether he wanted to keep the goods for himself or sell them, now was a good time to purchase them.
"Brother-in-law, are you looking for me?"
As they were talking, Liu Yaren walked in carelessly. Seeing Liang Jinyu was there, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away.
"Stop!" Liang Jinyu shouted.
Liu Yaren stopped and turned back with a stiff smile: "Yu Niang, you are here too?"
Liang Jinyu knocked on the table and said, "Sit down and talk."
After a moment, Liu Yaren exclaimed in surprise: "What, you want to buy that beast - no, that house?"
Liang Jinyu: "As long as the price is right, I can pay anytime."
Seeing Liang Jinyu's serious expression, Liu Yaren wanted to question her but swallowed it back.
He glanced at his brother-in-law, swallowed his saliva and said, "Yu Niang, you know that's a haunted house, right?"
"I know, that's why the price is cheap, right?" Liang Jinyu asked with a smile.
Liu Yaren scratched his head and said, "That's true, but...how about this, you come back tomorrow and I'll ask the landlord first?"
"Okay." Liang Jinyu agreed.
"Wife, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time." Chen Lai Fu suddenly came in from outside and approached Liang Jinyu in a friendly manner as soon as he entered the shop.
"Stay away from my sister!" Liang Dingfang pushed him away with a gloomy face.
Boss Zhang and Liu Ya Ren looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.
Liang Jinyu stood up, as if she didn't see Chen Laifu: "Then it's settled. I'm leaving first."
Liu Yaren glanced at Chen Laifu and Liang Jinyu with a gossipy look, nodded and said with a smile: "Goodbye."
...
In the evening, Shaozhou City was shrouded in the orange sunset. Along with the rapid sound of bronze bells at the city gate, the footsteps of passers-by became more and more hurried.
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
Passersby on the road looked sideways and saw a man suddenly flying out from the nearby granary.
It was said to have flown out, but in fact it was thrown out by someone.
Then, two burly guys walked out of the shop, and one of them pointed at the man on the ground and spat.
"You are such an ungrateful person! Our boss only agreed to pay a high price for your rice because you are so pitiful. I never thought you would mix stones into the rice to increase its weight! I'm letting you down by giving you a beating today. If you dare to come here again next time, I'll break your legs!"
The man on the ground struggled to get up, and with a red face, he argued: "Don't confuse right and wrong. It's obvious that you threw stones into my rice bag because you couldn't bargain for the price. You have such a big grain store, but you are so shameless!"
"You also know that our shop is so big, right? Your three melons and two dates are not enough, is it necessary for us to do this? Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"
The man's face turned pale and red: "Give me back my rice first!"
The waiter took out two bags of rice from the shop and threw them out. As one of the bags was not tied tightly, all the white rice spilled out.
Liang Jinyu retracted her footing and took a step back.
"You, you are going too far!" The man was so angry that he was shaking all over but he could do nothing. He could only hurriedly gather the rice together.
People were coming and going on the street, and the spilled rice was trampled again and again.
The man simply took off his coat, ignored the eyes of passers-by, and lay on the ground to pick up the grains one by one.
"Hurry up and don't linger at the door of the shop, affecting our business." The waiter scolded and grabbed another bag of rice and threw it over.
At this time Liang Jinyu happened to be behind the man. If the bag of rice fell on her, she would also be unlucky.
Liang Dingfang was quick-witted and kicked the rice bag out with a "bang".
Blah--
The rice bag burst open and the rice spilled all over the ground.
The man was completely dumbfounded, his lips trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Liang Dingfang retracted his feet with a guilty conscience, lowered his head and whispered: "I didn't use any force."
In the teahouse opposite.
Yan Xing was watching with great interest, his arms folded, when the young man in black clothes beside him suddenly said, "Cross Kick."
"Are you talking about the flying kick he just gave?" Yan Xing asked.
"Yeah." The young man was very frugal with his words.
Yan Xing propped his chin up with his fan and narrowed his eyes slightly: "As far as I know, the cross kick is that master's unique skill. It seems that your young master guessed it right again."
“I never guess.”
Along with the talking, there was also the sound of a wheelchair.
Yan Xing withdrew his gaze from the downstairs and turned to look at Xie Qingyu who had just entered the room: "Besides that hairpin, do you have any other evidence?"
Xie Qingyu raised his hand, let go of the wheelchair and stood aside respectfully.
"Why are you so interested in her?" Xie Qingyu did not answer, but asked Yan Xing instead.
Yan Xing knew Xie Qingyu's personality. He was always flawless in what he said and did. The only mistake he made in his life was probably his legs.
