Chapter 223 Refusal to cooperate
Li Jiaxing couldn't hold it back and asked: "Xiaoyue, haven't we seen shopkeeper Zhu yet? Why can't it be done?"
"Looking at the waiter's reaction just now, it's not that Shopkeeper Zhu doesn't have time, but that he doesn't want to see me. Since he doesn't want to see me, then this cooperation will naturally not work."
In the past, when shopkeeper Zhu heard that she was coming, he would happily come out to greet her, but this time he had a lukewarm attitude, which had to make Murong Yue think more.
Don't think she is being pretentious. This is how the world is. People who are beneficial to you, no matter how mediocre they are, will greet you with a smile.
On the other hand, if this person threatens one's own interests, then naturally he will not be welcomed.
In other words, someone threatened me.
"But why? Didn't he come to your greenhouse last time? Why don't you want to see you now?" Li Jiaxing became even more confused.
Murong Yue also felt strange. Logically speaking, she had not offended him.
Next, Murong Yue went to another restaurant. When the shopkeepers heard that it was her, they all refused to cooperate with her.
Some of them, like Shopkeeper Zhu, have never even met.
It can be said that I have been to almost all the restaurants in Jufu Town, except for Murong Lin’s father-in-law’s house.
If Murong Yue hadn't discovered something fishy by now, her two lifetimes would have been in vain.
"Brother Li, let's go have lunch first!"
I've been running around various restaurants all morning, and it's already past lunch time.
"Okay." Li Jiaxing nodded.
After a whole morning, no matter how slow Li Jiaxing was, he knew there was something wrong.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the shopkeepers to reject them outright as soon as they heard Xiaoyue's name.
The two found a stall and ordered two meat noodles.
Murong Yue even asked the boss to add eggs.
"Xiaoyue, I'll be fine if I eat plain noodles." Li Jiaxing said with some distress.
Murong Yue said nonchalantly: "It's okay, we have been running all morning, we should eat something good."
Hearing what she said, although Li Jiaxing felt distressed, he did not refuse.
"Xiaoyue, what should we do next?" Li Jiaxing asked.
After being rejected by those restaurants all morning, Li Jiaxing had already given up hope.
"After eating some noodles, go back and buy some things!" Murong Yue said.
"Ah? You just went back? Then..." Although Li Jiaxing didn't have any hope, he still went home unwillingly.
Seeing his reaction, Murong Yue sighed: "Those restaurants were obviously instigated by others to refuse to cooperate with me, so there is no point in staying. But I didn't expect that they would also involve your family. I'm really sorry.
"
Li Jiaxing quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, you are willing to help our family. We are already very grateful to you. Although... something happened, but no matter what, we still have to thank you for your willingness to help our family."
Seeing how grateful he was, Murong Yue thought to herself that her efforts were not in vain, even if she didn't accomplish anything, it would be fine.
Murong Yue smiled and said: "Don't worry! I will think of a way when I get back and I will definitely be able to help you find a way to sell it."
"Well, thank you Xiaoyue." Li Jiaxing sincerely thanked Murong Yue.
The noodles arrived quickly. After the two of them ate the noodles, Murong Yue took the initiative to pay for two bowls of noodles.
This made Li Jiaxing feel embarrassed and a little touched.
After that, the two went to buy some things and prepared to go home.
Basically, Murong Yue was doing the shopping, while Li Jiaxing was following behind to help get things.
"Let's go! Let's go home." Murong Yue said to Li Jiaxing when she saw that it was almost done.
Li Jiaxing looked at the contents of her basket, then looked at the basket in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Is this what she said about buying something?
Next, the two of them left the town directly and got on the ox cart back to Qingquan Village.
When they arrived at the village, because some of Murong Yue's things were in Li Jiaxing's backpack, Li Jiaxing simply helped her carry them back to her home.
On the road, many people saw the two people passing by carrying a large basket of things.
"The family is prosperous! What are you carrying?" asked some good-hearted villagers.
"Auntie, this is what Xiaoyue bought. I will send it back to her." Li Jiaxing said disapprovingly.
"Really? What did you buy? So much?"
"This..." Li Jiaxing looked at Murong Yue.
