The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife

Chapter 316 - 316 Workshop (Part 1)

316 Workshop (Part 1)

It would take a day and a night if the horse was fast from Hushui Town to Wangshan Town.

Yue Jiaojiao received the letter five days later.

“Is anyone from Zhao Zhan’s family here?” Lizheng had just brought the letter back to the village from the relay station. Without any delay, he immediately delivered the things. “There’s a letter for you here. It might have been sent back by Zhao Zhan.”

Madam Qin wiped her hands and hurriedly took it. “Thank you for the troubles, I’ll bring the letter in now.”

!!

Lizheng waved his hand and didn’t stay any longer.

“My lady, there’s a letter for you,” Madam Qin immediately shouted.

“Let me see.”

Yue Jiaojiao walked out of the house and immediately opened the letter without even returning to her room.

“Zhao Zhan sent it.”

“And?”

The smile on Yue Jiaojiao’s face slowly disappeared.

Madam Qin’s heart was beating like a drum. “Did something happen?”

“Madam Qin, our workshop…”

“Something has happened!”

Gu Xiaoyu rushed into the backyard in a panic and pointed outside the door without any regard for etiquette. “S-something happened in the workshop.”

Yue Jiaojiao’s grip on the letter tightened.

“Don’t panic.” She folded the letter and put it back into the envelope. “Take a breath first and then slowly tell me what happened.”

Gu Xiaoyu was an impatient person.

Once she calmed down, she furiously spoke.

“There are many merchants surrounding the entrance of our workshop, saying that they want to break the contract. If they are not willing to take the goods, our workshop will lose a large amount of silver!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that the matter involved many people, the few people in charge of the workshop wouldn’t even dare to make a decision.

She would not have been pushed out to look for Yue Jiaojiao.

Zhao Zhan wasn’t here. Although she might not know anything, she was still the boss’s wife. When the time came, she would have to make the final decision. Even if they really lost money, they wouldn’t be implicated.

“Were there any signs in the workshop a few days ago?”

“Usually, there’s a new batch of orders coming in every three days, right? Have you checked if there is a big difference between the quantity of the latest order and the previous one?

“What did these people who canceled their orders buy in bulk?”

Gu Xiaoyu was a little confused by her series of questions.

She only managed the pickled vegetable workshop and never took care of the other orders. She really couldn’t answer any of the other party’s questions.

“Forget it.”

Yue Jiaojiao heaved a long sigh of relief. She had been a little impatient after all.

“I’ll go take a look at the workshop first.”

Gu Xiaoyu nodded and followed behind. “If we don’t go now, the workshop will probably be in chaos soon enough.”

It was such a coincidence.

Combined with the letter that Zhao Zhan had sent, it was hard for Yue Jiaojiao not to associate this matter with Shang Valley.

“Ask your boss to come out! We want to cancel our orders!”

“How dare you! You’re selling things at such a high price! Do you think that you’re the only one selling these things?”

There was still some distance between them and the workshop, but Yue Jiaojiao could already hear the commotion.

The other party spoke one sentence at a time and kept shouting. There was a different kind of fire happening, completely unlike a marketplace where people bargained for the prices to be lower.

It was obvious that someone was deliberately guiding them.

There were already many villagers who had heard the commotion and went over to watch.

“Make way.”

Gu Xiaoyu brought Yue Jiaojiao through the crowd and entered the workshop’s courtyard.

“Our boss is here.”

Her shout successfully silenced the crowd. The leader tilted his head and looked at Yue Jiaojiao before sneering.

“Are you trying to fool me? Where’s Zhao Zhan?”

“She’s just a woman, why is she the owner? Hurry up and go home to feed the children!”

One of Zhao Zhan’s followers immediately went into the house and brought out a stool when he saw her.

Yue Jiaojiao sat down unhurriedly, raised her eyes, and casually glanced at the other party before looking away. “We’re all business partners. You came to my place today. Even if you want to cancel the reservation, you should at least give me a reason, right? Why else would we go through the trouble of signing a contract for all this?”

“Your workshop is so remote. It’s going to be damaged if you transport things all the way to Huai County. We don’t trust your people. Since you insist on standing up for us, you should return the things to us quickly. That way, we won’t make things difficult for you.”

Yue Jiaojiao usually didn’t interfere with the workshop’s affairs. Every day before they went to bed, Zhao Zhan would share with her everything that happened in the workshop.

Therefore, even though she was not usually in the workshop, she was still familiar with the things happening here.

On the second day after Zhao Zhan left, Yue Jiaojiao even made a special trip to the workshop. Seeing that everything was normal, she didn’t put too much thought into it.
