From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 532: Chapter 528 Jiu Si Xuan Wants to Terminate the Contract (Four More)

The burly men were momentarily stunned.

After all, they weren’t Zheng Xiu’s people, they were just following her for profit.

Now that someone was willing to offer more silver, of course, they wanted to earn more money.

Zheng Xiu herself didn’t expect Mu Shuangshuang to speak like that, and she was a bit dazed for a moment.

But she had more money and could raise the offer.

”Whoever teaches those two a lesson, I’ll pay fifty taels! Fifty taels is enough for you to buy a small house in town. Why worry about having nowhere to live in the future?”

As soon as Zheng Xiu finished speaking, Mu Shuangshuang heard the burly men drooling, and ten men rushed over together.

Lu Yuanfeng put the wheelbarrow aside and went to deal with the brawny men.

These ten were not the same as those from last time. Mu Shuangshuang found it a bit exhausting to fight. Mainly, they were all muscle, and her small frame couldn’t inflict much damage.

The only effective move she had was a spinning kick to their necks, which took a lot of effort.

However, Lu Yuanfeng found it much easier, a few men weren’t enough to tire him out, and with a few punches, he knocked down a bunch of them.

Neither of them noticed Zhongzhu walking over to Lu Yuanfeng’s wheelbarrow, untying the popcorn bag, and knocking the cold noodles to the ground.

By the time Mu Shuangshuang realized, the goods on the cart were ruined.

Mu Shuangshuang was so furious she nearly exploded, and she charged at Zheng Xiu, but Zheng Xiu ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The ground was full of groaning men.

Looking at the mess everywhere, Lu Yuanfeng was heartbroken.

”Shuangshuang, what are we going to do now?”

All these items were prepared meticulously by him and Shuangshuang, and now both felt distressed seeing them in this state.

”Fengzi, let’s clean this up and go to Jiu Si Xuan to seek revenge on that Zheng Xiu. I have a feeling her goal today wasn’t to just mess with us, but to target our goods.”

Lu Yuanfeng nodded, having the same suspicion.

Evidently, these people were stalling for time. Mu Shuangshuang squatted down, stepped on a brawny man’s back and demanded, ”Speak, were you just acting?”

The man yelped in pain, ”No, no, that lady said that as long as we held you up, she’d pay us silver.”

”Then come with me!” Mu Shuangshuang grabbed the man’s shirt and headed straight for Jiu Si Xuan.

At this time, Fat Chef was already sweating profusely, usually, Fengzi and Shuang would have arrived long ago, but today, not only hadn’t they shown up, but the goods hadn’t been delivered either.

Thinking of the owner’s instructions, Fat Chef felt troubled all over.

As noon approached, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng finally appeared at the entrance of Jiu Si Xuan, and Fat Chef’s suspenseful heart eased a bit.

Before he could express his relief, Mu Shuangshuang recounted the morning’s events to Fat Chef.

”Oh dear, what do we do, our owner has invited quite a few people today, all to try Jiu Si Xuan’s specialties!”

Fat Chef was frantic, spinning in circles on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang instantly understood Zheng Xiu’s plan was probably to force a termination of the contract with Jiu Si Xuan, cutting off her financial route.

What a vicious woman, with such meticulous thinking.

Mu Shuangshuang decided to go personally to see Zheng Zhi about this matter.

Zheng Zhi’s expression wasn’t very good upon hearing Fat Chef’s explanation.

”I’ve already invited so many people here, and it’s nearly lunch, how do you expect me to explain to them?”

Although Zheng Zhi was the son of the County Magistrate, few people knew.

Zheng Zhi had never used his father’s name, having been on his own all these years.

If he offends these landlords, doing business would be tough for Zheng Zhi too.

”Owner, this isn’t Fengzi and Shuangshuang’s fault, this is...” Fat Chef didn’t dare say the rest.

After all, this involves the owner’s sister, and such matters are way beyond what Fat Chef can manage.

If the owner chooses to protect her, Fengzi and Shuangshuang would suffer.

”What do you mean by that? If it’s not their fault, whose is it? Mine? People tasked with delivery can’t even deliver on time and come up with excuses. Are such people suitable for collaboration with Jiu Si Xuan?”

Zheng Xiu came out of the room, loudly questioning Fat Chef.

Despite all the wrongdoings, Zheng Xiu wasn’t nervous at all, coming out boldly instead.

Fat Chef instantly felt uneasy.

Sure enough, when Zheng Zhi briefly went through this with Zheng Xiu, Zheng Xiu burst out in anger.

”Brother, this is outrageous! Last time, she hit me in the restaurant, and now she’s framing me? Brother, do you still want to do business with such a person?”

Zheng Zhi mentally assessed whether to continue the business, and decided to hear Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng’s side first, inviting them in.

As soon as Mu Shuangshuang entered, she remained silent. The arrogant look on Zheng Xiu’s face made her hesitate about continuing her collaboration with Jiu Si Xuan.

In partnership, mutual understanding is essential. If that doesn’t exist, there’s no point in continuing.

”Miss Shuangshuang, Mr. Lu, I’m just asking for a reasonable explanation. Since you claim it’s my sister’s doing, do you have any evidence?”

Lu Yuanfeng dragged the brawny man he had caught earlier and kicked him in front of Zheng Zhi.

”Tell everything clearly and truthfully!”

Zheng Xiu made a show of panic.

”Brother, you have to stand up for Axiu. They bullied me, wanting to find any random person to accuse me.

I haven’t been here long; you can ask the carriage driver if I got off during the ride!”

Zheng Xiu spoke with a seemingly honest attitude, appealing to Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi hesitated, knowing well enough how his sister behaves.

Without evidence, she wouldn’t have dared suggest asking the carriage driver.

The driver was under his employ!

Only listened to him!

”Someone bring the driver here,” Zheng Zhi ordered.

After a while, the driver came, naturally siding with Zheng Xiu.

Mu Shuangshuang kicked the brawny man again, prompting him to speak.

The man suddenly clutched Zheng Zhi’s pant leg, pointing at Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, ”Sir, I’ve been wronged! These two beat me up and made me identify a young lady. I don’t even know her and didn’t want to do such a heartless thing. Please help me...”

The brawny man’s words stunned Lu Yuanfeng, who angrily grabbed him by the collar and loudly demanded, ”Why lie? Why frame Shuangshuang and me?”

At this point, Zheng Zhi realized the truth and his gaze toward Mu Shuangshuang shifted. He even felt he had been blind to choose such a person to partner with.

”Miss Mu, our partnership...”

”Our partnership is over. I won’t work with someone who can’t differentiate between black and white. From today on, none of my goods will be sent to Jiu Si Xuan. All previous contracts are void!”
