Chapter 58 HSBC Building Tears Up the Agreement
"Grandma, I'm going to take a walk in the mountains."
Sui He went up the mountain early in the morning with his small backpack on his back. The mountain was bare and surrounded by withered yellow weeds. He pulled off a weed and held it in his mouth, shaking it slowly.
"Oh, be careful, come back soon." In ancient times when there was no communication, the simplest way to communicate was to shout
"Okay, I get it now"
It was autumn now, and the wild fruits on the mountain should be ripe. She wanted to go to the mountain to see if there were any wild fruits. Unfortunately, she walked half way up the mountain and found nothing. She found no one around, and the next second she entered the space
There is no mountain, but there is space.
Sui He put down his backpack, spotted an apple tree, and climbed up with a swish. There were not many fruits in the space. Apart from the ones he planted with seeds, most of them were grafted from branches broken off from fruit trees in the past few months. Fortunately, the space was powerful and many fruit trees survived.
Not only did it survive, but the fruits it produced were better than those on the mother tree. Take this apple, for example. It is big and red. When you bite it, it is crisp and juicy. It is eight parts sweet with two parts sour, which is exactly the taste that Suihe likes.
Sui He was full after eating one apple. In the past, he would only eat this apple when there was no fruit left at home. He would not even look at it on other days.
After eating his fill, Sui He threw the apple core in his hand into the soil and covered it with soil. He picked a few more and put them in his basket. Looking at the full tree of pears, he couldn't help but pick a few as well. When he had enough, he stopped.
After leaving the space, I pulled a handful of hay to cover it and went home.
As soon as I entered the house, I felt that the atmosphere was not right today. Grandpa, who had gone to deliver goods early in the morning, was sitting in the yard with a frown on his face. Grandma gently rubbed Grandpa's arm. Zhao Dazhuang's eyes were black and blue, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Zhao Erzhuang took a towel and carefully wiped the corner of his eldest brother's eyes. Zhao Dazhuang squinted his eyes in pain.
"What's going on?" Sui He asked with a frown, how could it turn out like this?
"Brother Chen, it's my fault. I didn't protect Grandpa Chen." Zhao Dazhuang saw Sui He coming back and hurriedly stood up to explain. As a result, he pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth. He grimaced in pain and pointed to the broken tofu on the cart beside him: "Brother Chen, look..."
Sui He looked at the cart of tofu. The tofu that was neatly arranged in the morning was now in a mess. A lot of tofu had broken into pieces and could not be eaten. The broken tofu was all over the cart, making it a mess.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Sui He waved his hand soothingly and walked to his grandfather: "Is your hand injured? Have you called a doctor?"
"I'm fine. Today we went to deliver goods, and someone from nowhere also delivered tofu to HSBC Restaurant, and sold it for a penny cheaper than us. The owner of HSBC Restaurant refused to accept our tofu, so I argued with them and they attacked us." Grandpa briefly recounted what happened.
"Brother Chen, it's my fault. I failed to protect Grandpa Chen." Zhao Dazhuang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked forward, his face full of guilt.
"It's okay." Sui He's eyes flashed, he put down the basket on his back, and said to his grandmother: "Grandma, you take care of it for a while, I'll go find a doctor."
After saying that, he went out. "Is Doctor Ye home?" Sui He stood at the gate of the yard and called inside.
"I'm at home." Doctor Ye opened the door and found that it was the young man from the Chen family. He asked, "Are you looking for me because someone in your family is sick?"
Sui He nodded to Doctor Ye and explained his purpose: "Doctor Ye, my grandfather had a conflict with someone in the town today and was injured. I hope you can go and take a look at him and give Zhao Dazhuang some medicine as well."
"Okay, wait for me, I'll go get the medicine box." Doctor Ye didn't delay and immediately went back to the house to get the medicine box.
"Please go and take a look, Doctor Ye. I have something else to do, so I can't go with you." Sui He said, and without waiting for Doctor Ye to speak, he turned around and walked towards the town. He wanted to see what was going on.
Sui He seemed to be thinking about something. When he arrived in the town, he did not go to HSBC Building first. Instead, he walked into a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and listened to the chatter of people around him.
"Have you heard? The tofu at Huifeng Restaurant is really amazing!"
"Yeah, I've heard about it, but it's too expensive, one plate costs hundreds of coins!"
"Alas, there is nothing I can do. The food is delicious. And it is limited in quantity. If you don't make a reservation in advance, you can't eat it."
Sui He's heart moved. After hearing what he wanted to hear, he paid for the tea and left the teahouse. He came to the entrance of HSBC Building.
Wang Quan at the door saw Sui He coming. After seeing who he was, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face. He gave an order to the waiter beside him and then stepped forward to stop Sui He.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Chen? What brings you here today?"
"What do you think?" Sui He looked at Wang Quan with a fake smile: "Where is your shopkeeper? I have something to ask him."
"Uh..." Wang Quan looked at Sui He's face, which was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, thinking that the person who came was not a good person! So, he hurriedly pulled Sui He aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, you'd better go back. Our shopkeeper won't see you."
Sui He remained silent, just looking at Wang Quan quietly. Wang Quan was delighted to see this, thinking that Sui He was persuaded by him, and immediately continued to persuade him:
"It's true that our shopkeeper was dishonest in this matter. I'm also very angry, but there's nothing I can do. After all, he's the shopkeeper. He's already said that he won't accept your tofu anymore, so it's useless even if you give it to him!"
"Besides," Wang Quan paused, with contempt in his eyes, "The tofu brought by others is the same as yours, and one penny cheaper than yours. It's normal for them not to choose yours. Don't bother with it. Just listen to my advice and go back."
"But we have already written it down in black and white. We make tofu and send ten sheets of tofu every two days. You suddenly refuse to accept it and even beat up my grandfather. Aren't you afraid that I will sue you in the government?"
"So what?" Wang Quan curled his lips in disdain. "Your tofu is not a rare thing now. There is already a second family making it. Besides, when it comes to business, of course we buy from whichever one is cheaper!"
"Also, Brother Chen, take a good look at it. The contract doesn't mention how many times we will cooperate. You've sent it to me before, so it doesn't count as a breach of contract. At most, it counts as us not cooperating. Even if you sue us at the government office, it's useless."
Sui He clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress his anger. "Okay, very good. You're playing word games with me, right? We can put aside the cooperation for now, but what about you injuring my grandfather?"
Wang Quan smiled proudly: "You hurt your grandfather? Who saw it? I advise you to quit while you are ahead and go back quickly. Don't anger my shopkeeper. Otherwise, you won't be able to do any business in this town in the future."
"Do you threaten me?"
