Chapter 417 Beware of Their Underhanded Tricks
After lunch every day, Ji Xiaobei would light a bright fire, making the room warm. The three little kids would lie on the bed, wearing thin clothes and dancing.
Grandma Huang warmed her hands and gave touch massage to the three kids.
Guoguo and Zhengzheng were babbling, while Anan turned his head and watched quietly.
"Grandma Huang, An An will be one month old soon. Thanks to you, An An has grown a lot in the past month!"
Jiaojiao said gratefully.
"It's my job as an old woman. I should be grateful to you for letting me take care of the child."
Mrs. Huang said.
Caixia rushed in: "Miss Jiaojiao, someone is coming from the Ruo family..."
Jiaojiao's eyes turned cold and she said, "They are here indeed!"
Caixia said: "But it's not the Third Master, it's the First Master who brought people here!"
Jiaojiao was not surprised at all, she sneered and said, "Are you here to buy goods? It seems that Cuijinlou is out of stock! You can go to the handicraft workshop to find Xiaobei."
Ji Xiaobei was checking accounts with Liang Yuyao when he heard that the master of the Ruo family had arrived.
She cursed, "Damn it, my family has finally shown up!"
She followed Caixia out, and Danfeng rolled up her sleeves and followed them out.
Liang Yuyao wanted to call her, but swallowed the words back. Danfeng got up early every day to practice boxing with Miss Ji. She was a woman of strong character who dared to fight and kill, and she was very upset when she followed him.
This yard is full of women, not a single man. Miss Ji, please don't suffer any loss.
She was worried, so she went to the warehouse to call Aunt Song and Second Madam Ji, and followed them out.
There was a carriage parked at the door, with Manager Wang and Ruo Xiaowei standing next to it.
As soon as Ji Xiaobei walked out of the door, Ruo Xiaowei came up to her with a smile and said, "Miss Ji, I was blind and didn't recognize you that day. I offended you. Please forgive me."
Ji Xiaobei ignored him and turned directly to Shopkeeper Wang: "Shopkeeper Wang, you are here for the goods, right? I have no goods recently, you should go find other sources!"
Ji Xiaobei said coldly.
"No, Miss Ji, you used to supply us with goods. The relationship between you and the Third Master..."
Before Shopkeeper Wang could finish his words, Ji Xiaobei interrupted him with a "Pooh" sound.
"I don't know your Third Master, we have no relationship at all, please go back!"
"Miss Ji, Shopkeeper Wang and I are here today. We are not trying to establish a personal relationship, but only to discuss business! We can all make money together. If you sell your goods to us, we will give you a penny less. Of course, the price will be higher than before, but Cuijinlou can accept it..."
Ji Xiaobei didn't want to argue with him any more. When she heard Ruo Xiaowei say this, she was furious. She raised her eyes and saw Ruo Xiaowei's face, which looked exactly like Ruo Xiaolian. She couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
She reached out and hit him.
Ruo Xiaowei never dreamed that Ji Xiaobei would take action...
He staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Shopkeeper Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hurriedly supported him.
"Uncle...are you...are you okay?"
Ruo Xiaowei tilted his head and spat out bloody teeth one by one. His face was crooked and his eyes and nose were full of snot.
"You, you actually dare to hit someone..." Ruo Xiaowei mustered up his courage but didn't dare to take a step forward. He believed that as long as he dared to take a step forward, this fierce woman would dare to hit him on the other side of the face.
Danfeng, Liang Yuyao, Aunt Song and Second Wife Ji were all terrified. Xiaobei was too bold.
It’s okay to beat up a hooligan in the village, but this is Anzhou, and judging from the man’s clothes, he should be the head of a wealthy family. What’s the big deal?
Aunt Song stepped forward and pulled Xiaobei's collar, fearing that she would attack again.
Ruo Xiaowei covered his burning face and said angrily, "Ji, Ji Xiaobei, you, let's meet at the government office!"
Ji Xiaobei turned his wrist and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait. You go to the Anzhou government office. If that doesn't work, go to the capital to appeal for justice... I want to see if your Ru family dares to file a complaint!"
If Xiaowei knew that the deal today could not be concluded, he would be beaten here, and the old man would be waiting for him when he goes back, so he could go back and be scolded!
He and Shopkeeper Wang got on the carriage dejectedly.
Aunt Song and Second Wife Ji asked anxiously: "Xiaobei, if he really goes to report to the authorities, what should we do? We have no one in the government. If our family has money and is in cahoots with the government..."
"The Ru family is in the wrong, and they still want to do business with me. Don't worry, Ru Xiaolian will be here in a few days. Just wait and see how I will deal with him!" Ji Xiaobei was confident.
Only then did Aunt Song feel relieved.
Liang Yuyao covered her chest with her hands, her face pale with fear. Who gave her the courage to be so fearless?
"Sister Xiaobei, our family may be in the wrong and dare not report to the police, but we must be careful of their dirty tricks. We should be careful when doing business."
Liang Yuyao reminded.
Ji Xiaobei thought: I don’t do business with the people of this world, so I’m not afraid of them. However, there are many people in the two shops, so I still have to be careful.
"Well, Caixia, ask Xiaozhuo to tell Shitou to pay more attention to the textile workshop."
Ji Xiaobei said.
Caixia went back and told the story of Ji Xiaobei slapping the master of the Ruo family. Jiaojiao said with relief, "It's what he deserves. There is no good person in the Ruo family. I used to think that Ruo Xiaolian was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be an ungrateful villain."
"Miss's baby is about to be one month old. How are we going to celebrate?" Caixia asked.
As early as a few days ago, Ji Xiaobei mentioned to Jiaojiao that he would give An An a hundred days' rest.
Jiaojiao refused.
"An An won't live past the 100th day. Let's wait until she's better and the weather warms up. By the way, the managers of the farms and shops in Anzhou haven't sent over this month's accounts yet, right?"
"I went to Ruo Mansion to inquire. They sent it to Ruo Mansion, but when they saw that you were not there, they took all the accounts away. I heard that the master wanted to withhold the accounts, but the managers refused to agree..."
Caixia said.
"Ruo Xiaowei is too shameless. Those are all my dowry. Why should he withhold them? Go and make an appointment with Mr. Jin from Golden Leopard in advance and ask him to meet me at Taoranju in three days. I have something to tell him."
Caixia nodded.
Jiaojiao will be out of confinement tomorrow. After a month of rest, she is in much better spirits.
She now has the energy to deal with He Ruoxiaolian's affairs.
On the day of the full moon, Ji Xiaobei gave An An a pair of glass lockets inlaid with gold. An An has very fair skin and looks particularly beautiful in them.
The women of Jijia Bay made a set of clothes for Jiaojiao and gave it to her.
Mrs. Lin asked Xiaozhuo to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat, and cooked a few dishes to celebrate Jiaojiao's release from confinement.
Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with tears of gratitude.
People were eating in the house, and the small table rushed in.
"Sister Xiaobei, Miss Jiaojiao, it's bad. The Third Master of the Ruo family has come, with two carriages, and he should bring a lot of people!" The voices of the people at the small table changed.
Jiaojiao's expression changed immediately. She was not afraid of Ruo Xiaolian, she was afraid of causing trouble for Ji Xiaobei. The women in this courtyard...
