Chapter 220 Can’t Just Leave It Alone
Since everyone knows that Lao Yu has some backers behind him, he naturally doesn't have to worry about closing the shop for a few days and the shop will have changed hands when he comes back.

Because the neighbors near Yu Ji Clothing Store would never believe that Jiang Xuan was just a person who saw injustice.

Most of them thought that Jiang Xuan was a thug hired by Lao Yu.

Therefore, the neighbors were afraid of Lao Yu for a long time.

Even the neighbors were worried about Lao Yu.

Although he didn't dare to say it out loud, he felt that Lao Yu was too bold.

They felt that even if they had to change locations and start over, it would be better than directly hiring thugs to suppress Wei Li.

Putting aside whether Wei Li would settle a score with Old Yu after the thug left, the fact that Old Yu dared to hire thugs was completely unimaginable to them.

Isn’t Lao Yu afraid of offending that thug? Won’t that thug blackmail Lao Yu every few days?
Or is that thug an acquaintance of Lao Yu?
Since he is an acquaintance, why haven't you seen that thug do this before?
……

The neighbors had many questions in their hearts, but they could not find any accurate explanation.

All they knew was that since then, at least on the surface, Lao Yu's life had been getting better and better.

There was no need to worry about paying protection fees, and I never saw that thug again.

Although they thought Lao Yu's approach was risky, they still envied him from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, it's just envy, not jealousy.

After all, although they were not exempted from paying protection fees like Lao Yu, they have not been charged protection fees again since then.

No matter how you look at it, these neighbors are also relying on Old Yu's help.

Later, the neighbors found that Lao Yu was still the same as before, without any change, and they slowly resumed their normal relationship with him.

Jiang Xuan could also guess this.

But Jiang Xuan didn't think it was a big problem.

It's just that since his battle with Wei Li, they have been more polite to Lao Yu. At most, they will say less to Lao Yu, and it won't have any big impact.

"Could it be that during that time, Old Yu felt a little lonely and wanted to take in a disciple?" Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

However, the situation is completely different when there is an apprentice in the shop.

Jiang Xuan couldn't understand why Old Yu would temporarily entrust the shop to a new apprentice.

"I don't know what to call you?" Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked the young man.

"Oh, my last name is Yu too," the young man replied.

The young man's answer made Jiang Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you a family?" Jiang Xuan asked the young man again, but there was no embarrassment on his face.

Even if it was a bit offensive, Jiang Xuan had to ask the question, and he had to ask it clearly.

"Not really. We are from the same village, and the boss has watched me grow up." The young man's face showed no emotion, and he was still very patient.

Seeing that the young man did not pause or think while speaking, Jiang Xuan dispelled some of his doubts.

Jiang Xuan was about to ask something else, but the young man pointed and said, "Sir, please wait here for a moment. There seems to be something going on over there."

"Okay." Jiang Xuan nodded to the young man.

In fact, even if Jiang Xuan wanted to ask more questions, he would have to see Lao Yu first or get the mended robe back. Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan suddenly realized that he really didn't need to worry about whether he could get the brocade robe back today. Instead, he could give the young man more time.

When I actually see the brocade robe, I will be able to carefully confirm the plain brocade robe.

Since Lao Yu's craftsmanship is well-known in the area within a radius of ten miles, I think his craftsmanship should be good, at least not much worse than the tailors in those large clothing stores in Yingzhou City.

While the young man was dealing with something, Jiang Xuan took the opportunity to take a closer look at the situation in the store.

From what Lao Yu said before, it seems that he has always run the clothing store alone.

Whether business was good or not, it seemed that they never hired any assistants.

Jiang Xuan was now confused. He didn't know what was wrong with Old Yu. When he didn't need to hire any assistants, he didn't hire any, but when he hired assistants, he hired so many at once.

Want to hide away from the crowd? But it seems that there is no need.

After all, the store is already that big and hasn't expanded, so it doesn't need so many people.

Furthermore, opening a business at the border between Yingzhou and Qizhou is nothing more than trying to make some money from passers-by, and it probably won't make much from the local residents.

This created a situation.

The passers-by are not regular people, so naturally they will not come to the shops nearby often. They will only go into a shop when they need to, unlike the shops in the city.

Most of the shops in the city that can survive have regular customers.

Those old customers would think of it from time to time and go to the shop to have a look. They could buy some things without having high demands, which was something that the shops outside the city could not compare with.

Of course, residents outside the city can patronize some shops on weekdays, but the reason why they live outside the city and choose to live in areas with little security shows that their family situation should not be very optimistic.

Therefore, even if they go to buy something, they probably won't buy anything too expensive. Instead, they will choose something practical and not too expensive. Of course, good quality and low price are the best for them.

Of course, the original country is very large, and not every area outside the city is unsafe. There are differences in different places.

But Jiang Xuan was very familiar with the border area between Qizhou and Yingzhou.

This is definitely not a safe place.

There would be no rich people coming to Yu Ji Clothing Store at the junction of Ying and Qi states to buy clothes.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan also made a secret decision in his heart.

In any case, we must first find an inn near Yu Ji Clothing Store to stay in.

No matter what, Lao Yu is someone he knows. Now that he has no access to Lao Yu's whereabouts, he is determined not to leave alone at this moment.

"After leaving Yuji Clothing Store, we should first go around and ask around. We absolutely cannot trust what this young man says."

"We must obtain the brocade robe and ensure Old Yu's safety."

"It seems I can't leave here for the time being unless I see Old Yu and get the brocade robe."

Just as Jiang Xuan was thinking in his heart, a familiar voice was heard.

"Sir, sorry for the wait!"
