Chapter 223 Changing the Rules
"Stop!" Lu Xingyan stuffed the umbrella into Jiang Changle's hand, rushed forward and grabbed the old female's arm, saving the abused young female in time.
"It's you? Boss Lu~"
Lu Xingyan was the person in charge of Jiang's workshop's external business, and many beastmen knew him.
When the old female saw Lu Xingyan's appearance, she felt as if she had seen her backbone, and all the grievances in her heart collapsed instantly.
"Wow~ Boss Lu, you have to make the decision for an old woman like me! Our family has been forced into a dead end."
The old woman knelt down in the cold rain with a plop. She tilted her head back, letting the raindrops fall onto her face. She looked extremely miserable.
"Get up and talk." Lu Xingyan forced the man to stand up with a stern face.
"I, Boss Lu, and my beastly husband are called Zhang San. He used to be a farmhand in the workshop. He got a minor injury in the last war, and his old illness has come back.
Later, he was unable to go back to work in the workshop, and his illness became more and more serious. The workshop manager felt sorry for him and gave his employees a price to let my family sell porcelain.
I urgently needed money to treat my beastly husband, so I bought the porcelain at a lower price and earned some money by running errands.
But that damn bitch always tries to sabotage my business by claiming that I am disrupting market prices.
They chased me from outside the city into the city and destroyed several batches of my porcelain. I bought these porcelains on credit from the workshop. Now I have not made any money but am in debt.
I have no face to live anymore. I can’t save my beastly husband, and I can’t pay off the debt of the workshop. Wuwu~~~ There is no way out. Boss Lu, I, an old woman, I, wuwu~~"
The old woman cried helplessly out of grievance, and could not see any hope in life.
"Is this true?" Lu Xingyan questioned the young bitch, with a cold light in his eyes like a sword.
The bitch knew something was wrong when she saw Lu Xingyan. She hugged her daughter tightly in fear. People who didn't know her would think that Lu Xingyan was bullying them, an orphan and a widow.
“She’s manipulating the market price, selling it so cheaply that the rest of us have no business.
She raised an old male, and I raised a young female, there's no comparison~"
Under Lu Xingyan's cold gaze, the bitch's voice grew weaker and weaker.
Lu Xingyan saw through her little thoughts at a glance, "You are still trying to be clever in front of me, are you used to fooling people?
The workshops only provide limited quantities of goods to their employees, which means that once the old lady sells out her goods for the day, there will be no more goods left. How much impact can she have on your business?
As for chasing you from outside the city into the city? And using an innocent young child to cause trouble?
I'm giving you two choices now: either you compensate the old woman for her losses, or you stop doing business with Jiang's products from now on."
"How can this be!" The bitch raised her voice in dissatisfaction, and pinched her daughter and pushed her towards Lu Xingyan.
There was the intention of using the child to plead for mercy, and there was also the intention of denying it to the end, "She is a young female no older than seven years old, the government does not require her to pay compensation."
"The child doesn't need compensation, but I want you to." Lu Xingyan's attitude was very firm.
"Boss Lu, Boss Lu, my beastly husbands also work in the workshop, and there are three of them~" The bitch couldn't understand why the people in her family were not as useful as an old man?
"Oh, you mean I should kick your beastly husband out of the workshop as well? No problem~"
This kind of person who is confused will probably only bring disaster to the workshop in the future. Lu Xingyan doesn't mind getting rid of him at all.
"Ah! No, no, no, I'll compensate you. If compensation isn't enough, then give her these porcelains."
The bitch glared at the old woman fiercely, then didn't dare to keep the stall anymore. She hurriedly pulled her daughter into the crowd, as if she was afraid that Lu Xingyan would bear a grudge and really kick her three beastly husbands out of the workshop.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Seeing this, the old woman was about to kneel down to Lu Xingyan again.
"Thank you, just do business.
Also, since your beastly husband is a workshop employee and was injured because of the workshop, he should go directly to the Jiang Family Clinic for free treatment.
Bring someone over when you have time, and I'll let the clinic know."
Since she was an employee of the Jiang family workshop, it was really outrageous for her to be so miserable, so Lu Xingyan wanted to solve the source of the problem in her family.
"No, no, no, this is not appropriate. My beastly husband has an old illness. How can I blame it on the workshop?" The old woman shook her head in panic.
"This is the employee benefit of our Jiang family workshop. The system is the same for everyone. If you don't go, do you want my workshop to break the rules?"
So there are evil people in this world who are disgusting, and there are honest people who are sympathetic.
No matter what kind of situation it is, Lu Xingyan has a way to deal with it.
"No, no, no, that's not it. After I sell these things, I'll take my beastly husband to get treatment.
Thank you, Boss Lu! Thank you, eh? Gong, "
Princess! So the Fourth Princess is here too? The old woman was stunned as if she had seen a goddess.
Lu Xingyan had already pulled Jiang Changle away from the scene.
"Hurry up and wipe it off! Your hair is all wet. If you catch a cold, how can you still act so majestic?"
Jiang Changle hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the water droplets on his long hair. She had just been impressed by Lu Xingyan's handsomeness, and now she was showing some starry eyes.
"Hey, are you fascinated by me?" Lu Xingyan knew what Jiang Changle was thinking as soon as he met her eyes.
The man who seemed quite mature and steady just now now looks like a child who has done a good deed and urgently needs praise, with a certain innocence and vitality.
Her beastly husband is also very nice!
"You are indeed a charming little elf. I'll reward you with a candied fruit." Jiang Changle stuffed one into his mouth.
But Lu Xingyan didn't give up. He pressed down the umbrella and insisted on catching up with her and biting her mouth.
"Candied fruit is not as sweet as my wife~"
Sweet but not greasy, it makes people want to eat it again and again~
"Okay, is this the time to talk about love? Thanks to you, we've exposed several shortcomings in the law. We need to discuss with the county lord and change the rules of Jiu Er County."
When some existing rules fail to benefit the people but instead bring disadvantages, it means that these rules are no longer applicable at the moment.
That needs to be changed, otherwise the beastmen will suffer greater and greater losses.
Lu Xingyan pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "No, we agreed to go on a date for two people, and we have to deal with two things along the way, which has already wasted a lot of time~"
He had a feeling that this trip to the government office would take at least a whole day. Oh, no, he just wanted to spend time with his wife in the rain.
Jiang Changle sighed, "As a pregnant woman, do you think I want to work hard? Isn't this just doing my job? If you don't follow the rules, how can you have a peaceful life?"
How can their family find peace in such a turbulent environment? Finding joy in times of trouble won't last long; only finding joy in times of joy can bring peace.
