Chapter 297 I won't earn you a cent
When they met Manager Wang, Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan were also surprised.
Manager Wang first looked around the cave, then looked at Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan, both of whom were in a mess. He instantly felt guilty.
As soon as the two men followed him out of the cave, he immediately knelt down in front of them.
Jiang Weinan hurried to help him up: "I'm fine, right? You don't have to blame yourself."
Steward Wang was helped up by him, holding Jiang Weinan's arm, and said, "Master, luckily you are okay. If anything had happened to you, I don't know how I would explain it to the young lady in my grave!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face.
Jiang Weinan was inevitably touched and patted his arm: "Don't worry, your young master is lucky!"
Steward Wang looked at him and said, "You've lost weight!"
Xie Jiaojiao watched from the side: ...
"Uncle Wang, is there anything wrong with the He family in the city?"
When Steward Wang heard Xie Jiaojiao calling him, he immediately turned around and said, "Young Madam, are you concerned about the He family's business?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
"I heard that two batches of goods had problems on the road due to heavy rain. However, when the goods had problems, the old man of the He family went out with his people in the rain. When I came here, they hadn't returned yet!"
When Xie Jiaojiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she frowned slightly: "He hasn't come back yet?"
Manager Wang hummed and nodded.
It seemed that she had guessed it right, but she immediately adjusted her mentality and comforted herself: If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it is inevitable. If something really goes wrong, the worst that can happen is that she will take out more silver!
Thinking that the problem can be solved with money, as long as she has money, it will not be a problem. However, in her heart, she believes in the He family more. If the He family did not have any real ability, they would not have come to this point. Moreover, Old Master He rushed there at the first opportunity. Does it mean that he has a solution?
"Young Madam? Young Madam?"
Steward Wang saw that she was distracted and called out to her twice.
Xie Jiaojiao came back to her senses and looked at Manager Wang: "Oh, what's the matter?"
"The old master and the second master arrived in the city yesterday, and I just arranged for Lai Fu to take the young master and the young lady to the city to meet them."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang."
Manager Wang waved his hand and continued, "When I came here today, I went to Doctor Hu's pharmacy, but I didn't see your brother. The door of the pharmacy was also closed. I asked the neighbors next door, who said that Doctor Hu went to the city with his family and the apprentices the day after the heavy rain. I will ask again when I get back to the city."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Xie Jiaojiao was grateful that he had thought of everything.
"Young Madam, it's too polite for me to say that. This is what an old slave should do!"
Steward Wang looked at the two of them and said, "Young Master, Young Madam, and Old Madam, why don't you pack up your things and we'll set off together back to Jiangbo City later?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Weinan: "Why don't you go back with me? I still have to wait for the flood to recede here."
Jiang Weinan shook his head: "If we want to leave, we leave together. If we want to stay, we stay together. Besides, even if the flood recedes, this village will be uninhabitable."
Steward Wang nodded immediately: "Yes, Madam! Even if you wait for the flood to recede, your house will not be suitable for living. Why don't we go back to Jiangbo City together!"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "We can leave, but what about Aunt Wang and the others? If I leave now, I won't have any human touch when I return to the village."
Jiang Weinan disagreed: "But I see that you care so much about them, but they don't remember your kindness. Just like two days ago, when the He family talked about you, no one stood up to speak for you. And this village, at worst we won't go back in the future!"
"If we don't go back, what about my mother? You said you would take her to Jiangbo City and let her stay there for a day or two, but if it's too long, she will definitely not be able to get used to it!"
Jiang Weinan stopped talking.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and said, "Why don't you follow Uncle Wang back to Jiangbo City first? It's just in time for you to go to the He family and inquire about the He family's business. This way, we will have some idea."
"No, I'm with you."
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and said, "Be obedient. The He family's business is very important to us. You also have to pay attention to the business of our own shops. After this flood, some shops will definitely have problems. Since I can't leave for the time being, you have to help me deal with the problems, right?"
Having said that, Jiang Weinan added: "You know, I don't know how to do business. Even if you ask me to handle the problem, I can't do it."
"How do you know you can't handle it if you don't try?" At this point, Xie Jiaojiao sighed: "Sometimes I also want to take a break!"
Having said this, if Jiang Weinan still refuses or is unreasonable, then he will not understand my feelings.
"Okay, I'll try, but you should also deal with your affairs quickly. I..." I don't want to be separated from you for too long...
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and nodded: "Don't worry, it will be quick."
However, Jiang Weinan did not leave that day. The next day, Manager Wang brought food and took him away.
The villagers were so excited when they saw the extra food in Xie Jiaojiao's family.
However, if Xie Jiaojiao was asked to give it to them for free, she would not be willing to do so. Firstly, she was unwilling to give them this favor for free. Secondly, she knew that only when they did not owe each other anything could they do things naturally. Therefore, when the village chief came to ask her if she could distribute some food to the villagers, Xie Jiaojiao refused.
But she added: "If you want food, you can buy it from me. This price is the market price, and I won't make a cent from you."
The He family was the first to refute: "We are all from the same village, aren't you being too polite?"
Xie Jiaojiao sneered and folded her arms, "Strange? Why? If I give you this food for free, don't you feel it's strange? Do you feel at ease taking my things? Or do you think I, Xie Jiaojiao, should give you this food for free? Why? You are not from my family, why do you have the right to eat my food for free?"
"you……"
"What am I?"
"Xie Jiaojiao, don't forget, it was you who brought us out of the village. Since you brought us out, you should be responsible for us!"
"Bah! Did I ask you to follow me?" Xie Jiaojiao looked at everyone in the cave.
"At the beginning, you were all in my house, but you begged me to find a way for you to survive. To be honest, if it weren't for you, I could have taken my mother and Tian Hu's grandmother to Jiangbo City. But because you said you believed in me, I didn't leave, but took everyone to find a place like this for refuge! If you all think that you have to hold me responsible for following me out of the village, then I can still take my own family and leave now. To put it bluntly, it's not me and my family who can't survive or make a living!"
