Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

It's your own fault for not cooking well. Why don't you say you used leftovers?

"Security...security..." Lou Xiao'e shouted, "Carry her out!"

boom……

Before the security guards arrived, Jia Zhangshi lay down on the other side.

"I'll see who dares to touch me, and I'll kill myself!"

Jia Zhangshi burst into tears.

To throw a tantrum and act like a rogue.

Even the security guards were too scared to move, and Lou Xiao'e was even less likely to move. She waved to the security guards herself and said, "You can go now!"

How to do?

We still need to find Qin Huairu.

She crossed the road herself and arrived at Qin Huairu's shop.

"Qin Huairu..." Lou Xiao'e's face was pale: "How could you do this? And Shazhu, what do you mean by this?"

"We're all neighbors, I'll give you some face, don't go too far!"

Lou Xiao'e shouted angrily at the two of them.

He Yuzhu was about to apologize.

But Qin Huairu stopped him.

"Lou Xiao'e!" Qin Huairu suddenly knelt down in front of Lou Xiao'e: "Please have mercy, we can't go on living..."

"Can you spare the Jia family? Can you give us a way to survive?"

"How are we supposed to survive if you price your vegetables so low?"

"Please, set your vegetable prices a little higher, give our Jia family a chance to survive!"

Qin Huairu knelt down, tears streaming down her face.

Lou Xiao'e was truly impressed.

In business, there's no room for being soft-hearted.

If I change the price, most customers will probably curse me out.

The business could go bankrupt in an instant.

"This is none of your business!" Lou Xiao'e said. "Right now, bring your mother-in-law back!"

"Then I can't pull it!" Qin Huairu also resorted to shamelessness.

obviously!

If you don't agree, I'll ignore my mother-in-law and let her cause trouble in your yard.

Anyway, someone who came back from Hong Kong can't possibly have any connections.

"Fine!" Lou Xiao'e returned to the restaurant in a huff, but there was nothing she could do about Jia Zhangshi.

How to do?

Call the police!

This is the only way.

Waaaaaahh ...

A dozen minutes later, several motorcycles with sirens blared arrived at Lou Xiao'e's restaurant.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

Zhao led his men over in person.

thump!

Jia Zhangshi stood up from the ground and tried to run away.

"Don't let her get away!" Lou Xiao'e ordered the security guards to stop her.

"Grandma Jia?" Upon seeing Jia Zhangshi, Zhao Suo was slightly taken aback and said, "Why aren't you staying at home? What are you doing here?"

Jia Zhangshi was so frightened that she trembled and dared not speak.

Lou Xiao'e recounted the events.

At this moment, Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu also ran over.

Upon seeing Zhao, they realized that things had gotten a bit out of hand.

"Director Zhao...it's a small matter. My mother-in-law is a bit confused; she just had a quarrel with Lou Xiao'e!" Qin Huairu quickly said, "Can I take her back right away?"

Zhao looked at Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e was just about to speak!

thump!

Qin Huairu knelt down before Lou Xiao'e again: "Lou Xiao'e, my mother-in-law wronged you today... Please forgive us, and I promise it will never happen again."

A hint of coldness crept into Lou Xiao'e's lips: she had already done more than enough for the Jia family.

The spitting incident yesterday was not investigated.

Coming again today?

Row!

"Director Zhao!" Lou Xiao'e said calmly, "Qin Huairu's shop has no business, and she's jealous of our restaurant's business. She said I stole her customers... and insisted that I set the prices higher. I didn't agree, and her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, started causing trouble here!"

“She insulted me, my son, and even my ancestors for eighteen generations. If you don’t believe me, you can ask our security guards. Many of our customers can also testify for me!”

Zhao frowned and looked at Jia Zhangshi, demanding, "Jia Zhangshi, is it true or not?"

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

"I...I..." Jia Zhangshi said, trembling, "Who told her to take over our business? I just wanted her to give us some of her business!"

"take away!"

Without saying a word, Zhao took Jia Zhangshi away: "Qin Huairu, I'll be waiting for you at the police station. You'd better get there as soon as possible, this is a serious matter!"

hum hum...

The motorcycle took Jia Zhangshi to the discharge station.

"Quickly, quickly..." Qin Huairu said, "Zhuzi, hurry and go to the police station, something might have happened!"

The two rode their bicycles at breakneck speed.

Twenty minutes later, we arrived at the discharge station!

……

"Commander Zhao!"

In the reception room, Qin Huairu asked somewhat nervously, "Director Zhao, where is my mother-in-law?"

"He's locked up!" Zhao said sternly.

"Surely not!" Qin Huairu said in astonishment, "My mother-in-law only had a quarrel with Lou Xiao'e at most, is it really necessary to lock her up?"

"Officer Zhao, please be lenient and release her!"

He Yuzhu also said, "Yes, Director Zhao, please be lenient!"

Zhao did not answer their questions, but said calmly, "Actually, I've read the newspapers. The reason your restaurant is not doing well is entirely your own fault!"

"In this situation, they unjustly blame others for having too good a business! Then they deliberately go to other people's homes to cause trouble, trying to drive away their customers and tarnish their reputation."

"Qin Huairu, do you think this is arguing?"

"No... this is disorderly conduct, which constitutes a crime!"

Zhao said coldly, "There's one more thing you shouldn't forget. Your mother-in-law's sentence isn't over yet; her past issues aren't resolved! She's only serving her sentence, not finished!"

"If you commit another crime, you will be punished for both crimes!"

"This..." Qin Huairu asked in surprise, "Then... what will happen?"

Zhao said, "She'll be re-imprisoned and serve her full three-year sentence. She still has two years and nine months left!"

Chapter 190: More than eight thousand including principal and interest?

To put it bluntly, Jia Zhangshi did not come out when the room was full.

She simply refused to comply because she was seventy years old.

But that doesn't mean her sentence is over.

Considering your age, we can offer you some preferential treatment and let you serve your sentence outside of prison.

However, if you break the law again while serving your sentence, then I'm sorry.

Take them away immediately and lock them up to serve their sentences.

"Director Zhao, could you make an exception for this?" He Yuzhu asked worriedly, "Could you resolve this by spending some money?"
