Chapter 32 Unpredictable People

"Brother is back!"

Zhao Qi walked back to the cave with a wooden box in his arms and sweating profusely. Xiaozhu from afar quickly came up to meet him.

Xiaozhu cleaned up clean today, changed into new clothes, her hair was neatly combed, and she tied two small braids. Her thin face also looked a little rosy.

"Brother drinks water!" Entering the cave, Zhao Qi put the wooden box under the awning. Xiao Zhu quickly poured a glass of water, and then looked at the wooden box and asked curiously, "Brother, what is the wooden box in this wooden box?"

"Today, I broke a piece of glass and was driven back!" Zhao Qi said while drinking water with a wry smile.

"Ah?!" Xiaozhu's face turned pale in an instant.

"Tu tu tu tu tu..."

Old Mrs. Su came out of the room with a crutch. When she saw Zhao Qi, she said in surprise: "Why did grandson come back so early today? You should be quite busy at this time, right?"

"Grandma, the young master accidentally broke the glass when he moved the goods today..." Xiao Zhu's mouth sagged and tears came down.

"Glass? Cough cough cough cough... Why are you so careless... Cough cough cough cough..."

Old Mrs. Su almost breathed a sigh of relief. She walked under the pergola while coughing while opening the wooden box and taking a look. Her wrinkled old face was whipped into a ball.

"Ahem... This is a big glass, which is expensive, and the cheapest one is dozens of stakes. This bottle is so big, it's not worth hundreds of stakes. You...hem, you're too careless. You have to move the goods for many years before you can afford to pay..."

Old Mrs. Su was obviously very sensible, and she almost judged the value of the glass bottle after just one look.

Zhao Qi was surprised and confirmed in his heart that the old woman's identity must have been very unusual in her previous state.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and even merchants with a wealth of 100 million yuan may not be able to buy the imported Dashi glass. It is basically collected by powerful dignitaries.

Poor people have basically never seen what glass looks like.

The old woman could tell the value of the origin at a glance, and there must have been many at home in the past.

However, the ideas of Mrs. Su and Zhao Qi are obviously not on the same channel.

Zhao Qi was guessing in his mind that the fool's family had been prominent and wealthy.

But Old Mrs. Su's eyes were scattered and she sat on a bundle of firewood and began to daze.

My grandson, who had been stupid for decades, finally recovered from illness and had hope. He suddenly had to pay such a large amount of money, so how could he afford it?

However, the old woman was obviously not an unsavvy rural old lady. She quickly came back to her senses and asked anxiously: "Sunny, why did you carry this broken glass back? What did the master say? How much does it cost?"

"Don't worry, grandma, because there are several people who have touched this piece of glass, Ermao and A'an next door are also part of it. The master knows that we can't afford to pay, as long as we pay ten yuan, they will all be fired!"

"Aan wasn't A'an hanging with Dayuan and the others at the dock? Why are you together?" the old woman asked in surprise.

"Grandma, I have been hiding it from you, just helping the dock, but Uncle Dayuan took care of me and arranged for me to help in the warehouse. I didn't go to the ship. It's very safe. Don't worry, but if this matter is not resolved, the warehouse can't go?" Zhao Qi said with a wry smile.

"I knew that you guys were hiding from me, an old woman!" Old Mrs. Su stood up with a angrily slapped a few crutches and said, "Since you only have ten cents to pay, you can take the gold turtle as a compensation, don't go to the dock. I heard that some guilds are fighting hard between guilds and guilds, which is quite chaotic. Back then, your father and Dayuan and others fought with people from the next villages. At that time, they were full of energy and they were beaten back with a bruised nose and a swollen face. I don't know how many times your mother cried!"

"There is such a thing?" Zhao Qi was silent.

"Hmph, it's not only the rich who fight for power and profit, but this person's heart is unpredictable..." Old Mrs. Su was about to go to the room with a crutch.

"The grandmother is not in a hurry. There may be other ways to solve this problem. I agreed with the second young master of the Lu Family Trading Company that if he compensated him for a complete glass bottle, the matter would be solved!" Zhao Qi quickly grabbed the old woman's arm and said.

"Reimbursement for new things? Don't think too simple, this big glass is not affordable for ordinary people!" Old Mrs. Su became even more anxious when she heard this.

"It's okay if we don't accompany you. If we can't get a new one within three days, everyone in Erma Ge's group will be fired by the Lu family. They are all from our Maowan Village. Everyone will be implicated by that time. The main reason is that I suspect someone deliberately messing with us!" Zhao Qi explained.

"You mean someone deliberately targets you and wants to drive away all the people like Ermazi?" the old woman asked in a daze.

"That's it. Today, the Lu Family Trading Company has dozens of large-scale glasses. Ermao and A'an is responsible for moving them into the warehouse. I am responsible for counting and helping to pile them up. However, when the second young master of the Lu family came to unbox the box and inspect, he found that one was broken. The manager Liu, who was responsible for escorting, accused the three of us of broken ones, and then the young lady said that she would transfer the five groups to the dock..." Zhao Qi briefly explained the matter in a few words.

After hearing this, the old woman sat down slowly, remained silent for a while and nodded and said, "Yes, my grandson guessed it right. This matter is obviously that Manager Liu and the young lady are specifically targeting Ermazi and the others. But you shouldn't be too troublesome, otherwise you will be involved in the battle between these traveling gangs!"

"Grandma, I am also from Maowan Village. Uncle Dayuan and Ermao and others take good care of me. And I gave Manager Liu an excuse to this. Moreover, if this matter is not resolved, Manager Liu may target Uncle Dayuan and the others in the future. Our family survived with the help of Uncle Dayuan and the villagers. I can't just leave my hands alone!"

"Grandson, you said it's light, but how can you get a new glass bottle?" Old Mrs. Su was furious, as if she felt that the grandson in front of her was still as stupid as before, so as not to be even more worried.

"Grandma, I heard from Grandpa Liu that he was a kiln worker before and had burned glass. The glass looks similar to the glass. I asked Grandpa Liu to come over and discuss it, and maybe it will be repaired..."

"Abn nonsense, glass is definitely different from glass. Old women have seen it many times before. We, the official kiln of Dasong, have tried many times to burn glass. We have never heard of it. Your grandfather had arranged for someone to burn it before, but it was also unsuccessful. The secret method of the great cannibal has never been passed down. Until now, our Dasong Dynasty doesn't even know the materials for burning glass. Besides, the things on the dock are messy, what do you mix with, and it will only make it more difficult for Dayuan and the others to do!" Old Mrs. Su stomped her crutches angrily.
