I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei leaned his body slightly and kicked two men to the ground with a sweeping kick. The remaining three men took advantage of the chaos to rush in, but Ji Xiaobei grabbed them by the back of the neck, one by one, and strangled them to death.

Another man was surrounded by Shitou and the men from Jijiawan, and was beaten with rakes, shovels and rolling pins.

The five big men were lying on the ground, looking extremely miserable.

When the leading man saw this, he pointed at the people on the ground and said, "Get up, idiots!"

The five men hurriedly got up and stood next to the burly man.

The burly man spat at Ji Xiaobei and cursed, "I'll let you off this time, we'll see what happens!"

Six men jumped into the carriage and ran away.

The people in the textile workshop were very excited and surrounded Ji Xiaobei, cheering.

Ji Xiaobei picked up the roll of cloth on the ground.

Aunt Xu asked in confusion, "Xiaobei, isn't this fabric from our family? How come I didn't see that?"

"Auntie, this batch of cloth is three-sided. The top and bottom layers are made with the same craftsmanship as ours, but there's something fishy about the middle layer. Please take a closer look!"

Ji Xiaobei handed the material to Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu took it doubtfully and stroked the cloth carefully. After a while, she said, "Boss, it really is different!"

"Oh no! It's over!" Dongniu shouted.

Aunt Xu was frightened and cursed: "Don't pretend to be dead, talk nicely..."

Dong Niu, who was scolded by his wife, hurried over and said, "Our textile technology has been stolen. This is unacceptable!"

Everyone's faces changed. Yes, the three-layer weaving technology is unique to Zhengguo Textile Workshop.

How can this be good?

Shitou, who had been silent the whole time, said slowly, "In my opinion, our technology was not stolen, but was just imitated by them. Most workshops can make two-layer textiles, but they can't make the middle layer well, just like this batch of fabrics, which will eventually become waste..."

Ji Xiaobei nodded in appreciation and said, "Shitou is right, that's exactly what happened. They are here to cause trouble. Have they offended anyone recently?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"It's possible that other merchants will also return the goods. As long as there are returns, we will carefully check them. If they are ours, we will take them back. If they are not ours, we will return them! If a merchant comes to cancel the order, we will let them do it."

After Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, he entered the yard.

"Damn it, it's obvious that someone is causing trouble..."

"Boss, should we continue to weave our cloth?" Aunt Xu asked anxiously.

In the one year since Ji Xiaobei took over the textile workshop, there has never been a single mistake.

As long as it is woven, it can be sold. In the past six months, merchants from the capital have come to place orders, and business is booming.

A tall tree attracts the wind. There must be people who are jealous and deliberately against you.

Looking at Ji Xiaobei's calm and composed look, Shi Tou became anxious.

"Sister, what should we do? What if they all cancel their orders? What will happen to the materials in our warehouse? How can we purchase goods if we don't get the money back in our account?"

Ji Xiaobei glanced at him and said reproachfully, "I just praised you, but you can't keep your composure again?"

"Sister, there is so much money..."

Stone was sweating.

As he was speaking, as expected, two merchants had already arrived outside the yard and no longer wanted the goods they had ordered.

Aunt Xu hurried in, looking for Ji Xiaobei.

When Ji Xiaobei walked out, the two merchants were arguing, "There is something wrong with your goods, why are you deducting our advance payment?"

Dong Niu was also unconvinced: "There is no problem with our goods. If you cancel the order at the last minute, we will make them all. The deposit will definitely not be refunded."

The shopkeeper over there rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight.

"Stop it, isn't it just a prepayment? Donniu pushed it to them, remember all the merchants who returned the goods, it will be impossible for them to get my goods in the future!"

Ji Xiaobei said coldly.

The shopkeepers of the two shops saw Ji Xiaobei's self-righteous look and said angrily: "If you don't want it, then don't want it. There are so many workshops on Textile Street. Can we not do business without you?"

Manager Sun was standing at the door, hesitating whether to come in or not.

Ji Xiaobei saw it and shouted, "Shopkeeper Sun, are you here to return the goods as well? Come in!"

Shopkeeper Sun's face immediately turned red. He walked in, slapped himself on the face and said, "Miss Ji, I'm sorry. I just believed what others said and came here on impulse. You helped me so much in the past, and now I'm taking advantage of you! Oh, I'm leaving now!"

Ji Xiaobei took two quick steps and stopped Shopkeeper Sun.

"Manager Sun, please stay and come in!" Ji Xiaobei invited Manager Sun to the side room.

Shopkeeper Sun was an old tailor who had fled from the south and settled in the capital, where he opened a small tailor shop. He came to Ji Xiaobei to place an order, but the quantity he wanted was small and he couldn't come up with cash.

Seeing that he was sincere, Ji Xiaobei gave him the goods on credit. No matter how much he wanted, Ji Xiaobei asked Aunt Xu to sell it to him.

Zhengguo Textile Workshop generally does not accept small retail investors, but Manager Sun is an exception.

A year later, thanks to his superb sewing and cutting skills, Shopkeeper Sun's shop became more and more prosperous.

Ma Xiaoqi also worked as his helper for a month and learned a lot.

Ji Xiaobei personally poured tea for Manager Sun.

Shopkeeper Sun was flattered and his face turned even redder.

"I was really confused today. I apologize to Miss Ji!" Shopkeeper Sun said embarrassedly.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "My little Qi has been studying with you for a month. I am really sorry to bother you!"

"Miss Ji, you are slapping me in the face by saying that. You were so confident in giving me credit for such expensive fabrics... I am a poor refugee from famine, and you are not afraid that I will run away."

"Everyone will encounter difficulties. We can get through them by helping each other. For example, I have more and more people returning goods now. I don't know what's going on. They are all merchants from your capital..."

Ji Xiaobei looked outside with some embarrassment.

"Someone came to my shop yesterday afternoon and said that there was a problem with the goods from Zhengguo Textile Workshop. All the people in Beijing who bought goods from you have been notified. Your materials, techniques, and dyeing technology are new, but they said that a company that ordered goods worth several hundred taels of silver could not use them, so people are anxious..."

Ji Xiaobei seemed to be thinking about something. The men who came didn't tell him the name of their business before they left.

This is really strange.

In the past two days, many people came to return goods, and Ji Xiaobei refunded them all.

The people in the textile workshop looked at the room full of goods and were so anxious that they got blisters on their mouths. What should they do?

Ji Xiaobei sits in the house every day.

One day, Aunt Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Boss, how about we stop for a few days? We have no place to store the goods!" Aunt Xu asked tentatively.
