Yu Jiao was unmoved and just watched calmly.
At this moment, Shen Yu hurried into the grain shop with an anxious look on his face. He looked up and saw the third master of the Shao family. Worry flashed across his eyes, and he walked forward quickly, protecting Yu Jiao behind him.
"Mr. Shao, it's not appropriate to bully a weak woman, right?" Chen Yu stared at Mr. Shao and said with hostility, "Your Shao family has already bought a lot of grain from Zhang Xiangui, and you still want to bully others and force them to do things they can't do?"
Shao Laosan was confused: I’m not, I didn’t!
He was apologizing, wasn't he? Why did he seem like he was bullying me?
He just couldn't figure out the identity of this young man who suddenly barged in, so he hurriedly said in a friendly manner, "Sir, you misunderstood. I'm here to apologize to Miss Yu!"
Chen Yu: ...
He looked back at Yu Jiao and saw that she was looking at him with amusement on her face. Then he saw Shao Huai'en kneeling on the ground, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across Shen Yu's face.
Shao Huai'en had seen this steward of the Shao family when he went to Zhang's family in Changkui to collect grain. At that time, he was arrogant and looked down on others, but now he was kneeling here obediently. A trace of deep thought flashed across Shen Yu's eyes.
Chen Yu had just learned that the Shao family wanted to buy food from Yu Jiao last night but was rejected. She was worried that Yu Jiao would offend the Shao family, so she hurried over.
It just seemed like a joke.
Shen Yu touched his nose and moved to the side.
"I heard that Miss Yu is a doctor. This is a small gift to apologize. It's not a token of respect, but please accept it." Shao Laosan pulled out a long box from his sleeve, opened it and placed it on the counter next to Yu Jiao.
In the box lies a hundred-year-old ginseng, which is quite large and its roots are well preserved.
Yu Jiao glanced at him calmly, with no change in her expression.
Seeing that she did not refuse, Shao Lao San breathed a sigh of relief and said flatteringly, "Miss, please do not mind this little misunderstanding. If you encounter trouble in Xiyun County in the future, just go to my second brother, and our Shao family will definitely help you wholeheartedly."
Seeing that Shao Laosan said this, Yu Jiao responded indifferently. She wanted to buy land in Xixun County, so she had to go to the county government office. The Shao family took the initiative to express their willingness to help her, which saved her a lot of trouble.
"That girl, I... I won't bother you any more." Shao Laosan glanced at Shao Huai'en who was kneeling on the ground and said hesitantly, "I'll leave this man here and let the girl deal with him."
Shao Huai'en knelt on the ground motionless. He took the initiative to take all the responsibility on himself because Yu Jiao couldn't kill him anyway, so it would be okay to beat him up to vent his anger. After this matter was over, the master would not hold him accountable for his poor performance and he would be able to keep his position as manager.
"Master Shao San should take this man back." Yu Jiao said calmly, "How dare I deal with the steward of your Shao family?"
Shao Laosan hurriedly shook his head, "No, no... just a servant."
He glared at Shao Huai'en and said, "Kneel here honestly. If Miss Yu can't calm down, you should not go back."
After Shao Laosan finished speaking, he bowed to Yu Jiao and left the grain shop.
Shen Yu cleared his throat awkwardly, moved closer to Yu Jiao, and asked, "What's going on? Why did the Third Master of the Shao family come to you personally...?"
Yu Jiao glanced at Shao Huai'en who was kneeling on the ground and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, and said coldly, "If you want to kneel, go out and kneel, don't disturb the customers in my shop."
Shao Huai'en didn't understand whether Yu Jiao meant to not pursue the matter or really wanted him to go out and kneel. He hesitated for a moment, stood up and walked out of the store. He didn't dare to leave directly, so he knelt in the corner of the door.
Seeing people kneeling outside, Yu Jiao's brows relaxed a little. It must be that more than just the Shao family was eyeing her selling grain in secret, so she simply used the Shao family to warn those who had ulterior motives.
