Chapter 857: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 857: Differential Treatment for Big Bull
Da Niu widened his eyes, his face filled with excitement and joy. "Really? You, you're back just like that?!"
Shu Yu nodded. "Yes, it's a complicated story. Let's talk about it when we get home."
"Yes, yes, let's go home. This is too sudden. Let's go..." Da Niu's words were cut off as he suddenly remembered the bolts of cloth behind him. He slapped his forehead. "Look at me, I almost forgot about these bolts of cloth."
As he spoke, Big Bull turned his head.
Following his gaze, Shu Yu also saw the stacks of cloth placed aside and furrowed her brow. "Big Brother, what's going on? Are these the bolts of cloth you were supposed to bring in today?"
"Yes."
"Why are they at the entrance of the cloth market? I remember the cloth market should help us transport the cloth back, right?"
Da Niu's expression became somewhat complicated, and he whispered, "The cloth market said they were busy today, and all the carts were out. I didn't bring in a lot of fabric, so they asked me to take care of it myself."
Even though it wasn't a large amount, there were still seven or eight bolts of cloth. He couldn't possibly carry them all back himself.
Moreover, some of them were high-quality fabric. If they accidentally got damaged, the loss would be significant.
Da Niu had argued with the shopkeeper of the cloth market, who had a decent attitude but insisted that they didn't have any carts available. Despite apologizing many times, they didn't solve the problem at all.
Da Niu had only been a shopkeeper for a few months and couldn't match the cunning manager. He could only consider renting a cart himself. However, there were no suitable rental agencies in the area, so if he wanted to leave, he would have to ask the shop assistant at the cloth market for help. However, that assistant used the excuse of being busy and refused to help.
Da Niu was about to give the assistant a few coins and ask the neighboring shop for help in renting a cart when Shu Yu and the others arrived.
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu narrowed her eyes. The change in attitude from the shopkeeper and the assistant at the cloth market seemed too drastic.
She had a guess about the reason. "Has this been happening since I was exiled?"
Big Bull shook his head hurriedly. "No, actually, their attitude changed a lot when our shop started ordering less and buying cheaper fabric."
Ever since Ah Yu and Da Ya left, their ready-to-wear shop began selling clothes that catered more to the common people, with lower prices.
In that case, the fabric they ordered naturally changed as well.
From that time on, the attitudes of the assistants and the manager at the cloth market became ambiguous.
Da Niu had wanted to switch to another cloth market for purchasing fabric, but the manager only displayed impatience in his tone, and there were no breaches of contract. They still delivered the goods, and when he went to purchase fabric, they did so without any fuss. The price and quality of the fabric hadn't changed, so it wouldn't be reasonable for him to switch to another market.
Who would have thought that after Ah Yu was exiled, this cloth market even refused to deliver the goods.
Shu Yu understood. "Da Niu, wait for me for a moment."
With a stern expression, she strode directly into the cloth market.
The shopkeeper of the cloth market was behind the counter, seemingly oblivious to what was happening outside, as he was engrossed in his bookkeeping.
Only when Shu Yu stood in front of him did he frown and raise his head.
His face immediately changed. "You, Shopkeeper Lu? Why have you come back?"
Shu Yu sneered. "Sorry to have made you uncomfortable here."
The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled. "No, no, Shopkeeper Lu, how can you say that? It's just that I heard you had gone to the southwest, so your sudden return surprised me."
