Chapter 79 - 79 79 Cunning Can Turn into Clumsiness

79: Chapter 79 Cunning Can Turn into Clumsiness 79: Chapter 79 Cunning Can Turn into Clumsiness After Wu Xiaoyu slapped Brother Ma, he felt a bit regretful.

It wasn’t because he feared this guy would retaliate.

He just thought that he had become too violent lately.

Dealing with this kind of punk was beneath him; ignoring him would have been enough.

But since he had already acted, there was no retreat.

Seeing that this guy was about to strike back, Wu Xiaoyu quickly swept him off his feet, knocking him to the ground.

After Brother Ma fell, he didn’t get up right away.

Instead, he started shouting, “I’ve been hit…

I’ve been hit…

Someone help me…”

Damn!

A grown man who gets hit and doesn’t fight back but instead cries to gain sympathy, trying to stop me through the crowd’s condemnation—what kind of bizarre logic is that?

What made Wu Xiaoyu feel a bit awkward was that Brother Ma’s cries quickly drew a large crowd, all staring at him, making him unsure of what to do next.

As more and more onlookers gathered, Brother Ma finally got up from the ground and continued to shout at Wu Xiaoyu, “If you have guts, don’t leave…”

The passersby didn’t know what had happened, but since they had nothing better to do, they stopped to watch the commotion.

Brother Ma patted the dirt off his clothes and was about to go into Juxian Inn to call for backup.

Before he reached the back door, it opened from the inside, and a man in his fifties stepped out.

He was dressed in a traditional Chinese outfit and had a goatee, giving off a scholarly vibe, though his somewhat angry expression marred that image a bit.

Seeing the man step out, Brother Ma quickly complained, “Brother-in-law, this kid acted violently at our doorstep and injured me.

You have to teach him a lesson!”

The man in the traditional outfit gave Wu Xiaoyu a look and saw that he stood upright without any sign of guilt or fear.

This made him think that Wu Xiaoyu wasn’t the kind to provoke trouble deliberately but that his brother-in-law was becoming increasingly unruly.

The man in the traditional outfit addressed Wu Xiaoyu, “Young man, I’m Chen Zhaofeng, the owner of Juxian Inn.

My brother-in-law is a troublemaker.

If he has offended you, I hope you won’t take it to heart.

If there’s nothing else, you can go now.”

Seeing that Chen Zhaofeng was so polite and gentlemanly, Wu Xiaoyu naturally wasn’t going to argue with the troublemaker anymore.

He responded with a word and turned to leave, and seeing this, the onlookers also dispersed quickly.

As soon as Wu Xiaoyu sat down on his tricycle, he heard Chen Zhaofeng ask, “Did you personally inspect the goods that were delivered today?”

Brother Ma, who had been unhappy about his brother-in-law letting Wu Xiaoyu go so easily, became even more anxious when he heard his brother-in-law ask about the goods.

“I inspected them myself!

What’s…

what’s wrong?” Brother Ma replied nervously.

Chen Zhaofeng shook his head and said, with evident disappointment, “Did you check the shiitake mushrooms carefully too?”

When Brother Ma heard his brother-in-law ask about the shiitake mushrooms, he felt even more nervous.

It seemed his brother-in-law already knew that the mushrooms weren’t wild.

What should he do now?

In his panic, he decided to pin the blame on Liu Si’er and hurriedly said, “The shiitake mushrooms have always been delivered by Liu Si’er from Zhujiao Village.

He’s been supplying us for over three months.

There shouldn’t be any problem.

I didn’t look closely.

What’s wrong?”

Chen Zhaofeng, far from being appeased by this explanation, only grew angrier and scolded, “Didn’t look closely?

I think you just didn’t want to look!”

“For over a month and a half, the shiitake mushrooms delivered have all been artificially cultivated.

Did you think I wouldn’t know?

I was waiting for you to admit your mistake!

Now it seems I was foolish to hope for that.

You really are ungrateful!”

Hearing them talk about mushroom procurement, Wu Xiaoyu thought there might be a chance to sell his own mushrooms.

Instead of leaving, he stayed on his tricycle and continued listening to their conversation.

Brother Ma tried to defend himself, “Brother-in-law, you really have wronged me.

I truly don’t know what’s going on!”

Seeing that he was still defending himself instead of admitting his mistake, Chen Zhaofeng got even angrier and scolded, “Useless fellow!

Your sister begged me for days before I agreed to let you handle the store’s procurement.

In just a few months, you’ve changed several suppliers and even dared to substitute inferior goods!

I must have been blind to put you in charge!”

Realizing that his brother-in-law had found out everything, Brother Ma quickly pleaded, “Brother-in-law, give me another chance.

I’ll make them replace it with the best shiitake mushrooms right away!”

“Hmph!

From now on, you’re not in charge of procurement!

You should go back to driving for your sister in the county!” Chen Zhaofeng scolded, turning to head back into the store.

Seizing the moment, Wu Xiaoyu ran over and asked, “Mr.

Chen, do you need wild shiitake mushrooms?

I have some on my tricycle, all freshly picked from the mountains today!”

Chen Zhaofeng was startled by this sudden sales pitch.

He turned to look at Wu Xiaoyu’s tricycle and saw a burlap sack on it.

He then asked, “Is that all shiitake mushrooms in there?”

“Yes!

I just picked them this morning!” Wu Xiaoyu replied, gesturing for Chen Zhaofeng to come over.

Brother Ma, seeing this guy not only beat him up but now trying to sell mushrooms to his brother-in-law, felt even angrier.

Damn it!

This little brat, I’ll make sure you die for this!

Wu Xiaoyu, still inexperienced, couldn’t read minds and naturally didn’t know that this guy had already harbored malicious intentions.

But even if he knew, he wouldn’t be afraid.

What could this little punk do?

Chen Zhaofeng came up to the tricycle, opened the burlap sack, and saw it was filled with fresh shiitake mushrooms.

He grabbed a handful and smelled them; they were fragrant and fresh.

He pinched one with his fingers, and juice oozed out, rich and translucent.

After carefully examining the stem, he said,

“These are indeed fresh wild shiitake mushrooms, and the quality is excellent, even better than what we’ve been getting.

How about forty yuan per catty?”

Wu Xiaoyu, confident in the quality of his mushrooms, was still somewhat surprised to hear forty yuan per catty.

After all, shiitake mushrooms weren’t considered especially valuable among edible fungi.

Even so, selling wild shiitake mushrooms for forty yuan per catty far exceeded his expectations.

He quickly nodded and said, “Deal!”

Just as Chen Zhaofeng was putting the mushrooms back into the sack, he noticed the free-range chickens behind the sack.

The chickens had bright feathers, strong legs, and sharp beaks, clearly free-range.

His interest piqued, he asked, “Did you raise these chickens yourself?”

Seeing that Chen Zhaofeng was so interested in his chickens, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but admire his expert eye.

No wonder he managed to run Juxian Inn so well!
