The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 74 Not so kind

Dashi’s eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly, “Xiao Dongjia, is it true?”

 “Of course it’s true.”

Oh my god, the young couple have been away for so long. Dashi has long missed his mother-in-law and is spinning with joy. "I will go to the carriage shop immediately and ask them to bring a letter back. My father will definitely send my wife over when he sees it."

At about 3:30 in the afternoon, Lu Ji, who cooperated with the Su family to deliver skewers, delivered the goods to the side door of the breakfast shop, and everyone went to help unload the goods.

Su Ruojin stood beside the cart. There were ice cubes in each wooden box for the ingredients. She nodded. Summer is here, and the freshness and hygiene of the ingredients are the top priority. There is no room for carelessness.

Lu Ji delivered the goods to his second son Lu Zhitian. After unloading the goods and checking the order, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he bent his belt and walked to Su Ruojin with a smile, "Little boss—"

 “Is there something wrong with Shopkeeper Lu?”

Lu Zhitian had some difficulty speaking.

Su Ruojin's heart sank, her face was calm, and she waited patiently for him to speak.

Seeing that the little boss didn't ask, Lu Zhitian was a little at a loss. He turned to look for his bookmate who had been dealing with him. The bookmate and Xianggui were working together to carry the food shelf of skewers. He saw the second shopkeeper Lu and the second lady standing, and they Look towards him.

“Ms. Gui, wait a moment.” After saying that, she turned around and ran towards the side door, “Brother Lu, what’s wrong?”

"My... family is having a separation these past two days. I'm afraid... I can't supply your ingredients. Otherwise... you'll find another family..."

  No way, this happened just after changing places, it’s not a good sign!

Su Ruojin's face turned cold, "Shopkeeper Lu, who gave you the order two months ago and brought you back from the brink of bankruptcy? Why did you burn the bridge as soon as you regained your breath?"

 Lu Zhitian’s head was so low that he could barely reach the ground.

Shutong understood the little master's rhetorical question, and immediately changed his face, pointed at Lu Zhitian's nose and cursed, "Lu, are all the barbecue sellers in the market coming to your house to get their goods? They pay more than us. You don’t want to do our business?”

Yes, his father and his eldest brother supplied goods to those companies with high prices. He couldn't see it, so he advised his father and eldest brother not to be ungrateful. In the end, his father and eldest brother laughed at him. No wonder he would not be able to make money without a son in his life, and threatened him not to do so. Zhun reveals their meaning to Su Ji.

But when Su Ji's shop suddenly dropped a large order when they were desperate, they also paid money in advance to help the Lu family survive the bad luck of selling the shop. This was a great kindness.

Su Ruojin was also very angry, but getting angry and swearing could not solve the problem. She grasped the key point in Lu Youtian's words, "You want to separate from your father and eldest brother?"

Lu Zhitian’s eyes wandered with a guilty conscience.

 He wanted to separate the family from his father and eldest brother, but it was not easy to separate the family. He just used this excuse to remind his little boss.

 “After dividing the house, will you deliver goods to my house?”

"I definitely want to give it as a gift, but I... only gave birth to two daughters, so my father may not be able to give me anything..."

 A man who is nearly forty years old still has no son, and he is afraid that he will have no son in this life. Without a son, he will not be able to share the family property, without family property, he will have no capital, and without capital, he will have no way to make money.

 Lu Zhitian means that he wants to send it, but he is unable to do so.

Su Ruojin looked at the ingredients brought in by Dashi and Xianggui. The cooperation model between Su Ji and Lu Ji was to pay 50% in advance and the remaining 50% to be settled every ten days. Today is June 29th. The remaining 50% will be due tomorrow.

While Su Ruojin wanted to ask the Lu family for liquidated damages, she also thought about the manpower and time costs of recovering liquidated damages, and most importantly, contracts in this era seem to be restraints by the powerful on the weak, and there is no contract between ordinary people at all. Mentally, if they don't want to fulfill the contract, they don't want to do it. It's very casual.

"My father and eldest brother are ungrateful, but I remember the kindness of my little boss, and I always feel that it is unscrupulous to do so." He can settle the bill tomorrow and get the deposit for the next ten days. Seeing that his father and eldest brother are about to succeed, he can't help but remind him Little boss.

 Conscience still plays a big role without being bound by a contract. Su Ruojin also saw Lu Zhitian's character from this incident.

She said, "Since I can help your Lu family, of course I can also help you."

"Little boss?" Lu Zhitian's eyes suddenly brightened, and he stood up, "I..." He wanted to assure her excitedly that he would never be an ungrateful person. "but…"

 After the sudden turn, Lu Zhitian didn't know what Xiaodongjia meant. His heart sank, as if his hope was shattered, and his face was dejected.

"Wait until your Lu family is completely divided." She didn't want to get involved in the entangled housework.

"This..." Dad and his eldest brother refused to separate. Once they were separated, who would do the hard work for them? Lu Zhitian squatted on the ground in frustration.

His parents are still alive and there are no special circumstances. This family is really not so divided, and Su Ruojin doesn't know how to help him.

“I still have to thank Shopkeeper Lu.”

If Lu Zhitian didn't tell them, not only would he be caught off guard tomorrow, but he would probably also be defrauded of the ten-day deposit.

Shu Tong was anxious, "What about tomorrow?"

“I have no choice but to go and buy it for you, Uncle Tong.”

“I’m not afraid of the hard work, but I have to skewer it myself after buying it. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.”

 I have to work hard even if I am too busy, so I have to look for suppliers.

Seeing that everyone in Su Ji was discussing what to do tomorrow, and the family needed a mule cart urgently, Lu Zhitian got up and left listlessly. As a result, he was stopped by his little boss before he could even take two steps.

"Shu Tong, ask shopkeeper Huang to pay him the remaining money in nine days." Su Ruojin didn't want to pursue any liquidated damages. He didn't have the time and labor cost to do these things.

His father and eldest brother both lost their moral integrity. Unexpectedly, the young boss not only did not blame him, but also paid him the remaining money in advance. For a moment, Lu Zhitian didn't know how to express his feelings.

Boss Shutong reluctantly took Lu Zhitian to settle the bill.

 The lazy Huaping had been squatting on the side watching the excitement, waiting for the two to walk away, "Are you so kind?"

 “I’ve always been so kind!” Su Ruojin curled her lips dissatisfied.

Hua Ping shook his head, "Su Erniang, you have a purpose."

 The lazy Kahei transformed into the spirit Kahei.

Su Ruojin really didn’t have such good intentions. Unexpectedly, Hua Ping saw it. He was indeed a good person!

 “Then tell me, what is my purpose?”

 “How much is the remaining 50% of the silver?”

 “Almost twenty taels.”

Hua Ping smiled and said, "Do you need me to add more heat?"

Su Ruojin’s eyebrows moved: “How to add it?”

“Then I won’t tell you.” Huaping smiled mysteriously, stretched and left.

Su Ruojin stood still for a long time, thinking to herself, if you start with such a talented person, he can do the rest. It would be great if he were her CEO!

Lu Zhitian went back with a lot of money and a complicated expression!

Shu Tong looked unwilling, "They all broke the contract, why did you pay him the money so happily?" Shu Tong's uncle turned to casual thoughts.

Su Ruojin pointed to the ice cubes in the ingredients and said, "There was no ice cubes in the past few days!"
