Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Su An waved his hand and refused bluntly: "No thanks, we already have craftsmen and have led the refugees to start work, so we don't need you."

Lao Yu obviously didn't expect Su An to have such an attitude.

He frowned and spoke in a more arrogant tone: "I am from the capital city, the chief craftsman!"

"My brother-in-law is a high-ranking official in the capital!"

"Little girl, you have to think carefully about what you can do with connections in the capital!"

Hearing the arrogant word "brother-in-law", Su An's eyes widened slightly, and he felt a little funny when looking at his father-in-law.

You're already an adult, and you're trying to get your brother-in-law and a high position?

Speaking of high-ranking officials, she is surrounded by high-ranking officials!

However, at this age, he still came here specifically to join. Su An gave him some face and politely refused: "Old man, I don't mean to look down on you, but we already have enough craftsmen and don't need more."

"Furthermore, this is an opportunity for refugees to learn a skill so they can support themselves."

There are quite a few refugees joining in the road construction, so cement road paving will definitely continue to develop, and once they learn how to do it, they will be able to eat well wherever they go.

Little did they know that Lao Yu had also focused on this point.

As long as they master the method of making cement roads, their craftsmanship can become famous overnight and last for generations.

When the whole country starts building roads on a large scale, there will be countless profits!

The only thing I didn't expect was that Su An would reject me outright.

"It seems that you, a little girl, still want to be a good person!" Lao Yu narrowed his eyes fiercely.

"Well, if I don't teach you a lesson, you really don't know your own limitations. Just wait and see!"

After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, looking very confident.

Su An sneered and didn't take it to heart.

Road construction is now the top priority of Fuyou County. Lin Yong is keeping a close eye on it. She doesn't believe that this little old man can make any waves.

But soon, Su An was slapped in the face.

Half an hour later, Lu Ming's apprentice Wang Chuan came to find Su An angrily.

"Miss Su, how do you maintain order in the county government? We were just doing our work, and suddenly a bunch of unruly people rushed in and beat us up!"

"Look at how I beat you, ouch——"

Wang Chuan's face was bruised and swollen, and covered with yellow mud as if he had rolled around in the ground several times. He started to make angry accusations as soon as he saw me.

The vegetable leaves Su An was picking fell to the ground, and he gasped: "Isn't the leader an arrogant old man?"

"Yeah!" Wang Chuan's face was filled with rage. "That old man was so unreasonable. He rushed in with over forty people, beating anyone he saw!"

Su An felt numb instantly, and then his blood rushed up.

Lu Ming and his men built a small workshop at the county gate and ran it. There weren't many yamen runners guarding there, and they never expected that someone would be so bold as to break in and cause trouble!

"You go and inform the county magistrate about this matter. I'll go and take a look first!"

After Su An gave Wang Chuan instructions, he rushed over in a hurry.

When she arrived, she saw the workshop in chaos, with countless ugly shouts and curses coming from it.

Among them, there were dozens of tall men who beat up anyone they caught inside. The refugees were beaten and some were injured, and some ran away!

Lu Ming was originally fighting with his apprentices, but suddenly they were attacked by clubs one by one and they fainted!

Su An's eyes turned red with anger, and he shouted angrily: "Stop! This is an important government site. Do you dare to cause trouble here if you don't want to live?!"

Seeing Su An coming, Lao Yu snorted coldly and pressed the wooden stick against the back of the unconscious Lu Ming's head.

"The little girl's legs are so nimble, she got here so quickly!"

"Come on, come on, this is your lead craftsman, right? He's a misshapen piece of work, just so-so! Let me ask you again, do you want to change him?"

"If you don't change, I'll beat him every time I see him, and see how you can continue working!"

Hearing the arrogant words of this scoundrel, Su An immediately clenched his fists and his body trembled with anger.

She really didn't expect that this little old man could use such ability to threaten people!

"You old bastard, do you think there's no law or something? You hit someone and think there'll be a next time?!"

Unexpectedly, Lao Yu was not afraid at all when he heard this. He shouted proudly: "It is said that the law does not punish the masses. I have dozens of people. Even the county magistrate cannot punish us!"

Speak of the devil and he will appear. As soon as Lin Yong heard the news, he brought all the yamen runners and rushed over quickly.

Su An was delighted in his heart. It was a good thing that he came. Now he had caught the criminal red-handed. Couldn't he just take him back and lock him up in jail?

But the next moment, before the yamen runners could surround him.

Lao Yu waved his hand and ordered the dozens of people he brought with him to disperse into the crowd.

They were like loaches, drowned in the crowd on the street, and soon ran into the alleys and disappeared without a trace!

Lao Yu spat in satisfaction, and finally warned Su An with a forced smile: "See, I have many ways to deal with you. I don't know how long you can hold on."

"And your family's position... Haha, you seem to be so righteous, but can you protect your family?"

Leaving behind this naked threat, Lao Yu ran quickly and was escorted into the crowd and disappeared.

Su An's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a feeling of panic spread uncontrollably, with cold sweat oozing out of his palms.

This situation was completely beyond her expectations.

The old man actually has dozens of people under his command. What if one day he suddenly attacks his family?

Su An's whole body was tense and he couldn't help but sway back.

The next second, a big hand firmly held her waist.

Fu Zhun's voice, calm and filled with worry, said, "I'm late. Are you hurt?"

Su An calmed himself down and looked at Fu Zhun. He had come with Lin Yong, but was a step behind because of his wheelchair.

Lin Yong, along with the constables, had already chased after the crowd.

"Fu Zhun, I'm worried about my family..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Zhun immediately responded, "I heard that someone was trying to stir up trouble, so I arranged for secret guards to protect your family. Everything is fine now, don't worry."

His low and soothing voice seemed to penetrate into his heart. Su An breathed easier and his clenched palms loosened a little.

After stabilizing herself, she looked into Fu Zhun's dark eyes with gratitude, "Thank you... It's so important for you to be here."

Fu Zhun pursed his lips slightly, wanting to say, there's no need for them to be so polite to each other.

But seeing Su An's tense expression, he sighed slightly and advised him to go home and rest first.

Su An was worried about the whole family. After returning home, she hurriedly told both the big and small ones to be careful.

She was also hoping that Lin Yong could catch the old man.

It was a pity that the group of people escaped very quickly, and the news of their capture came in the evening.

I tossed and turned all night.

The next day, Su An walked out of the room with dark circles under his eyes due to anxiety, wanting to find out the whereabouts of the person he had caught.

Jian San suddenly appeared and threw the person he was holding into the yard.

"You're awake so early, Miss Su! It's a good thing you woke up. I just caught this shifty guy. He was squatting outside the alley, trying to kidnap your three children who were going to school!"
