Chapter 859 Compensation
The shopkeeper pursed his lips, his expression unfriendly.
Shu Yu smiled and said, "If our shopkeeper had received the goods in time this afternoon, the finished garments could have been completed by early 5 PM. But because of your problem, it's been more than an hour late. There's less than a quarter of an hour left until 5 PM, so even if you deliver to our door, it won't be in time."
I don't believe your nonsense. If he was really in such a hurry, why didn't Lu Daniu just take the required batch of cloth and rush back?
What guest? That's completely fabricated.
But if Shu Yu says there is, then there is. If the shopkeeper really asks her to get to the bottom of it, she will definitely be able to find out who such a person is.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's expression changed. "So you mean..."
"Because of you, our garment-making time has been delayed, and we have lost important customers and the reputation of our shop. Shouldn't you bear this loss?"
"you……"
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes slightly. "What did I do? You were the ones who broke the contract first. You can't get anywhere with this. Or shall we report it to the authorities?"
Report to the authorities?
The shopkeeper wanted to sneer. Your relationship with Lord Xiang is ambiguous, and even if you report it to the authorities, he will side with you.
Seeing that Shu Yu was not going to let it go, and that more customers were about to come in, the shopkeeper had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"It was indeed our oversight. I have a piece of fine cloth here; consider it compensation for your loss. How about that?"
"Let me see it."
The shopkeeper could only helplessly have someone bring over the fabric. Shu Yu touched it and found it to be quite nice.
She nodded, "Seeing how sincere you are, I won't hold it against you." The main problem was that the food and wine in the mule cart were getting cold, and if it was delayed any longer, her family members who were starving would die.
"However, I do not intend to continue cooperating with a shop as dishonest as yours. Let's end the contract here."
The shopkeeper didn't want to work with her anymore either. "I regret terminating the contract with Mr. Lu ahead of time, but since we didn't get along very well, we can only hope for another opportunity next time."
No, there's no chance anymore.
Shu Yu had Da Niu take the cloth, and they discussed the matter of dissolving the contract on another day. Then he turned and left.
Manager Qiu's face grew increasingly grim. A shop assistant leaned closer and whispered, "Manager, is that Madam Lu? Wasn't she exiled? How did she get back?"
"Who knows? It's not some underhanded trick anyway. We'll find out in a few days." They really think they can act so lawlessly just because they have Lord Xiang backing them up.
We've suffered a loss for now, but when the boss returns, we'll definitely get our revenge. Do you really think the biggest cloth shop in Jiangyuan County is a pushover?
Shu Yu came out of the shop and saw that Daya and Zhou Qiao had already loaded all the cloth outside onto the mule cart. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go back quickly. Grandma and the others must be getting impatient."
Once the car started moving, Da Niu let out a long sigh of relief. "Ayu, are we really not going to buy goods from this cloth shop anymore? Although that Manager Qiu isn't a good person, the goods from their cloth shop are indeed the best in our county."
“The best in the county town is nothing special in the prefectural city.” Shu Yu pulled on the reins, looked at the big ox sitting on the cart shaft, and laughed. “Our family has two mule carts now, and we might add more in the future. Going to the prefectural city to buy goods only takes two days round trip, which is very convenient.”
