She raised her hand and pointed at the thin steward, "Just as your steward said, let's see who can outlast the other!"
Everyone's eyes converged on the thin steward. He felt a pang of anxiety and quickly waved his hands, saying, "I, I didn't say that!"
"Today, I would like to ask the passers-by to be a witness. If you see me here again in the future, it will be that Jisheng Book Bureau has used its power to bully people and forced them into a desperate situation." After saying this, he ignored the expressions of the two fat and thin managers and left with the donkey.
After she left, the fat steward with a dark face drove away the remaining people who were watching the excitement, "Everyone has left, why are you still gathering here? Go away!"
Then he said coldly to the thin steward: "Come with me!"
Xu Jiang was angry and felt upset. Although she had advised Yuan Zuzhi not to act impulsively, she would not be able to remain calm when the situation really happened to her.
However, the consequences of her incident were very different from those of Yuan Zu's incident.
She was just an ordinary person. To the Jisheng Book Bureau, she was at most a small shrimp that refused to obey the rules. At most, they would tolerate her openly and suppress her secretly to preserve their reputation.

Not to mention that giving the money would be an insult to the trust that Yuan Zuzhi and Zhu Chun had placed in her, she was afraid that even her teacher would be furious and give her a beating.
She touched the wooden sign at her waist, chuckled, and then patted the donkey's head, saying happily, "You did a good job today. I'll reward you with a bundle of good materials when I get home!"
When the donkey heard the "good stuff", its nostrils flared up, it blew out two puffs of air, then pawed its hooves and rushed towards Yonghefang.
Xu Jiang was nearly thrown over by it. She quickly pulled the rope tight and yelled, "You stubborn donkey! Go back and you'll be in trouble!"
