The manager of Wenxiangju brought the waiter to the Wu family.

At this time, Xue Qing was no longer wearing clothes made of patched coarse cloth. Both of them were wearing cotton dresses of medium fabric, and Liu's dress was gray.

Xue Qing was wearing a light blue dress today, with a simple girlish bun, and her hair was tied up with only a wooden hairpin. She looked fresh and elegant, except for the spots on her cheeks that made her look less attractive.

Xue Qing had already recognized the waiter behind the manager of Wenxiangju. He was the one who had driven the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law out.

When the steward of Wenxiangju saw the girl opening the door and a woman standing behind her, he asked, "Is it the Wu family, Miss Wu?"

Xue Qing thought the man was quite polite, but he did not answer and instead asked, "Who are you?"

The manager introduced himself to Xue Qing, "I am the manager of Wenxiangju, my surname is Zhang," and then bowed.

Xue Qing nodded, not wanting them to come in: "What's the matter, Manager Zhang?"

Manager Zhang was sure that it was the girl from the Wu family.

"Miss Wu, can I go in and talk to your mother for a few words?" Manager Zhang did not mind Xue Qing's coldness and remained gentle.

Xue Qing bowed slightly and said, "My mother fell off the donkey cart on the way to the county town the day before yesterday. It is really inconvenient for her to meet guests. I hope Manager Zhang will forgive her."

When Manager Zhang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they knew something?

"Then I won't bother your mother. Miss Wu, are you collecting mushrooms picked by the villagers from the mountains?" Manager Zhang asked anxiously.

Xue Qing looked at him coldly: "What do you want to do?"

Manager Zhang saw that Xue Qing's attitude was a little cold, so as long as he was willing to talk to him, this trip would not be in vain.

"Miss Wu, this is what's going on. We at Wenxiangju would like to purchase the dried mushrooms from you. You name the price." Manager Zhang felt that what he said was very sincere.

I believe that this girl will be moved by my sincerity, and then the credit will be mine!

If Xue Qing heard what he was thinking, he would definitely scold him, calling him a shameless bastard!

The moment Xue Qing opened his mouth, he knew they were coming for Junzi: "Manager Zhang, I'm very sorry! I have already signed an agreement with Youranju to only provide for his family, so please go back."

After saying that, he closed the gate.

Manager Zhang looked at the closed wooden door with unfriendly eyes. If it weren't for Manager Guo's insistence on settling the matter peacefully, he would have kicked the door open by now.

The waiter behind him looked disdainful: "Humph, Brother Zhang, this is what it means to drink a toast and then drink a forfeit."

Manager Zhang glanced at the waiter, said nothing, flicked his sleeves, and got on the carriage.

Xue Qing returned to the room. Liu was half sitting on the bed: "Qing'er, who is coming?"

"It's the manager of Wenxiangju." I didn't want to tell Liu, but if I didn't tell her, she would be more worried, so I just told her directly.

“They want us to sell them mushrooms”

According to Xue Qing's idea, Liu's arm was fixed again with a thin wooden board, so that it would heal faster.

She looked at Xue Qing and said, "Qing'er, do you want to go find Shopkeeper Xie? They used to buy mushrooms from Mr. Zhao, but why do they suddenly stop buying from them and want to buy from us?"

Liu said she wanted to find Manager Xie because she was afraid that Wenxiangju would do something bad to Xue Qing.

Although it was never said explicitly, she had vaguely guessed something.

Xue Qing pursed her lips and said, "I think it's because Mr. Zhao's mushrooms were not completely free of toxicity, and our mushrooms were replaced by Mr. Zhao that day, so Wenxiangju knew that our mushrooms were completely free of toxicity."
