Yu Jiao forced a faint smile and nodded.
She is not the kind of person who complains about herself and gets anxious because of such a small matter. Yu Qizhe can give her this sense of security, so she cannot hurt their relationship because of groundless suspicion.
Yang Jiyan has a unique background, and she can also use her own hands to fight for a way to help Yu Qizhe!
Yu Jiao didn’t have much ambition before. After all, she had no sense of belonging to the unfamiliar dynasty of Tai Yan, so she just lived from day to day, just wanting to earn enough money to live a simple and stable life.
But now it’s different. Yu Qizhe wants to pursue a career in politics, and she can also work hard for him, grow with him, achieve his ideals, and become better people together.
Yu Jiao suddenly felt full of fighting spirit and determination.
However, she still needs to think carefully about how to become a supporter of Yu Qizhe's career.
When it was getting dark, the grain shop closed early. After delivering porridge to the refugees squatting in the corner of the alley, Yu Jiao went to the backyard.
Manager Zhou has loaded the truck and four trucks of grain are ready to go.
After having dinner together, Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling escorted Manager Zhou and his group to the gate of the courtyard. "When we get to Danzhou, Manager Zhou can handle anything as he sees fit."
Manager Zhou responded, "Don't worry, Miss Yu, I will do my best to live up to your trust."
Yu Jiao nodded with a smile, "With Manager Zhou here, I feel very relieved."
Although Gu Yun seems unreliable, Manager Zhou is indeed a capable person. He has been working carefully in recent days and is very experienced.
If she wants to do business in the future, she will have to train a few such talents.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling returned to the yard, watching Manager Zhou and his group driving their carriage with torches slowly disappear into the alley. The house she rented had a shop facing the street in the front and a two-story courtyard in the back.
The grain shop assistants lived in the outer courtyard, and they took turns to guard the grain shop at night. Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling lived in the inner courtyard.
Just as she was about to bolt the door, there was a sudden noise in the alley. Yu Jiao paused, pulled the bolt, and several waiters came forward and looked into the alley.
I saw that Manager Zhou and his men, who had just left, turned around and came back, driving several carts full of grain.
There was a group of strangers following behind.
Several guys vigilantly protected Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling behind them, staring at the group of people approaching.
Manager Zhou ordered Wu Dagui, Zhao Yu and others to take good care of the grain. He walked up to Yu Jiao and whispered, "Miss, I was stopped by these people just as I left the alley. They wanted to buy our grain, but I said no. They stopped us and insisted on meeting the owner of our grain shop."
As soon as Manager Zhou finished speaking, the middle-aged man in a dark brown robe smiled at Yu Jiao and said, "I think this is Miss Yu, the owner of Yu's grain shop. Nice to meet you. I'm Shao Huai'en, the manager of Shao's grain shop in Qingzhou. I want to discuss business with Miss Yu. Your grain costs six cents per stone, and my Shao family wants it all."
Yu Jiao narrowed her almond-shaped eyes. It seemed that this was the Shao family that Shen Yu had reminded her about during the day. With such a scene, were they trying to rob the family openly?
Yu Jiao said expressionlessly, "I don't care which Shao family you are from, I won't sell you my grain."
Shao Huai'en's face froze, as if he didn't expect that someone would not buy his name.
"Miss Yu is too young and impetuous. Business is not as easy as you think," Shao Huai'en threatened with a sneer on his lips, "If Miss Yu is unwilling to sell these grains to the Shao family, then they will be in your hands. You can forget about opening your grain shop tomorrow."
The group of people led by Shao Huai'en stared at the grain carts with eager eyes.
Knowing that there was a grain store selling grain at a low price, the Shao family set their sights on the Yu's grain store. They had secretly found out Yu Jiao's identity, but she was just a powerless country girl from the countryside. Shao Huai'en was too lazy to waste his time talking to her and simply threatened her openly.
Yu Jiao sneered, "You are so arrogant! I want to hear which Shao family in Qingzhou is so powerful!"
Since she had decided to take advantage of Gu Yun's power, Yu Jiao simply learned from Gu Yun's arrogant personality.
Shao Huai'en laughed frivolously, "Then you better listen carefully. Our Shao family's eldest uncle was once the prefect of Tongzhou, and the second uncle is the county magistrate of this Xiyun County. You are selling grain on my Shao family's land. Do you think my Shao family can stop you from doing this business?"
Shao Huai'en threatened nakedly, "If you know what's good for you, sell the grain to me obediently. You get the money and we'll make a good relationship. If you don't know what's good for you, your grain will rot in your hands!"
"Awesome!" Yu Jiao raised her hands and clapped her hands slowly, saying sarcastically, "Your Shao family is so powerful that people who don't know would think you are royal relatives. You have only produced two small local officials, but you dare to show off in front of your aunt? You don't even ask who is backing your aunt, and you dare to covet me?"
Seeing that Yu Jiao was even more arrogant than him, and didn't take the Shao family seriously at all, Shao Huai'en felt a little unsure for a moment, but then he thought of Yu Jiao's background, and he calmed down and asked tentatively, "Don't scare me, you little girl who hasn't even grown all the hair yet, do you think I, Shao Huai'en, was raised by being scared?"
Yu Jiao's almond-shaped eyes were shining coldly, and she looked down at Shao Huai'en with disdain and sneered, "You even dared to rob Young Marquis Gu's food. Do you think your life is too long for a mere steward of the Shao family? Go back and ask your master if he is tired of living! You dare to tamper with the emperor, aren't you afraid that there will be nowhere to collect your body?"
