Chapter 264 Negotiation
Li Yingyue's eyes were filled with tears. "I'm afraid that all my efforts will fail, and all my previous efforts will be in vain. I can't even decide on my own marriage.
I became a tool for family marriages. I don’t know where I was married to, and I don’t even know if I married a human or a ghost.
Zhang Juexia patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's not that serious. We will all help you. We will definitely get through this."
The carriage was running at full speed. Zhang Juexia could only hear the whistling sound of the wind in his ears. The further he went, the fewer people there were.
"Yingyue, have you reported it to the authorities?"
Li Yingyue shook her head and said, "Even though my uncle is the county magistrate, I don't dare to report it to the authorities.
I was worried that the bandits would find out that I had reported the matter to the authorities and destroy all the goods.
I can't deliver the goods to the Shen family, and I don't have the raw materials. If I break the contract, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay for it."
Li Yingyue leaned on Zhang Juexia's shoulder and asked, "Sister, what do you say we should do?"
"Let me think about it."
Zhang Juexia was also praying that the person who robbed Li Yingyue’s goods was Ren Xiaoyao’s man, but there were so many bandits, how could he guarantee that it was Ren Xiaoyao’s man!
"It's okay if he's a person with a conscience."
After saying this, Zhang Juexia laughed to himself. If a bandit had a conscience, why would he become a bandit?
We can only hope that they get lucky this time.
When they arrived at the place notified by the bandits, Li Yingyue managed to stand with the help of Zhang Juexia.
Ye Beixiu stood in front of them and shouted, "Are you all here? We have come to the appointment, so please show yourselves!"
All I could hear were the birds singing in the woods and the occasional flapping of their wings.
Ye Beixiu shouted again, and at the same time he showed the small flag with the logo that Ren Xiaoyao gave them when he left that day.
He deliberately stood on a high place and held the small flag high.
There were sounds of footsteps in the woods, and Zhang Juexia was fully alert to respond.
Li Yingyue was not in a much better condition. She pretended to be calm and tried to stand up straight.
"Ha, ha, ha! The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members don't recognize each other anymore."
A burly, unfamiliar man stepped forward and bowed to Ye Beixiu. "I wonder what my relationship is with King Xiaoyao?"
"Brotherhood."
The burly man was slightly stunned, "Brothers, you are rude this time."
He waved his hand and said, "Leave everything behind and let's go."
With a loud crash, the person disappeared.
The goods and the people who transported them stayed.
Ye Beixiu shouted inside, "I wonder which hill this hero is from?"
"Don't ask, we will meet if we are destined to."
Ye Beixiu put away the small flag and helped check the cargo. "Miss Li, there are sixteen truckloads of cargo in total, right?"
Li Yingyue finally came back to her senses. She had already made plans for the worst, and she didn't even want to save her life.
What? It's over so quickly.
"Yes, that's right."
"So, should we return the same way, or rush to Qingfeng City?"
"Let's go back the same way. I'll go and make the handover with the Shen family's shopkeeper in Shunhe County. I'll give them a discount on the price and let them transport it to Qingfeng City themselves!"
Li Yingyue was really scared. She would rather earn less than take any more risks.
The group returned to Shunhe County in a mighty procession.
Li Yingyue's brother Li Qi had just come out of the casino. He was so angry about his bad luck that he kicked the servant next to him.
The servant flew out without paying attention.
"Bad luck, really bad luck."
The servant had blood flowing from his mouth, but he didn't dare to spit it out. He climbed up and followed Li Qi closely.
Li Yingyue was only thinking about how to hand over the matter to the manager of the Shen family. Through the gap in the carriage curtain, she felt that the servant who was kicked out was a bit pitiful.
At the Shen family shop, while handing over the goods, Li Yingyue sensed that the Shen family's shopkeeper had an unusual attitude towards Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu. "Do you know each other?"
The shopkeeper of the Shen family who stayed in Shunhe County was named Sun Jie. Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said, "When Mr. Ye's shop opened, I went to congratulate him!
It’s just that Miss Li and Mrs. Ye were busy talking and didn’t notice me.
To be honest, our head of the family has some connections with Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye.
Before I came to Shunhe County, the head of the family had repeatedly reminded me that if I encountered any matters concerning Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye, I must pay attention to them.
Miss Li, since you are so familiar with Mrs. Ye, then we should be considered acquaintances!
We, the Shen family, will pay you for these goods according to the price we agreed upon before, and you don't have to pay for the shipping fee.
Our Shen family has not yet taken this little bit of shipping cost seriously."
Li Yingyue was stimulated twice today, so she was no longer surprised.
After leaving the Shen family's shop, Li Yingyue insisted on inviting Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu to a restaurant for a drink.
Zhang Juexia declined politely, "Your brother-in-law still has homework to do. It won't be too late to invite him after he passes the military examination."
Li Yingyue was exhausted and wanted to go home to have a good rest. After exchanging a few polite words, they all got on their own carriages.
Li Yingyue got into the carriage and her expression immediately became fierce.
She was determined to find out the traitor and punish him severely.
Zhang Juexia leaned on Ye Beixiu's chest, "Husband, this time it's thanks to you for following me."
"This is not what I should do. I can't really let you two weak women face the bandits in the mountains!"
Zhang Juexia patted Ye Beixiu's chest gently, "We are not weak women!"
"My wife is the best, okay!"
Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu with a smirk, "That's more like it. My husband, what do you think Li Yingyue would think if she knew our secrets?"
"That shouldn't be the case! My wife has a very good eye for people, she wouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts."
"I hope so!"
Although Li Yingyue had doubts about Ye Beixiu's behavior on the mountain today, she still chose to keep silent.
Everyone has their own little secrets. Since others choose to keep it secret, she should be sensible.
Li Yingyue got off the carriage and came to her yard angrily, "Xing'er, Xing'er."
Xing'er heard Li Yingyue calling her and hurried in, "Miss, are you looking for me?"
"Investigate this whole courtyard. I'm going to find this traitor and make sure she dies a miserable death."
Xing'er was very happy to hear this. If their young lady had considered these things earlier, the goods would not have been stolen by bandits.
Thinking of this, Xing'er still asked weakly, "Miss, our goods?"
"I snatched it back from the bandits. This time, it's all thanks to my sister and brother-in-law. Without their help, it wouldn't have been so smooth."
Xing'er felt relieved, fortunately she had been wise enough to choose to tell Zhang Juexia.
Li Yingyue then instructed Xing'er, "Don't tell anyone about the goods. For the next two days, we have to act like we're unhappy. Got it?"
