Chapter 339: Chapter 342: No Way to Deal With Her_1
Madam Liang had barely left when Chao Lian and Yang Ruoruo arrived together.
Through their efforts during this period, they had sold another twenty boxes of facial mask powder, which were scheduled for delivery the day after tomorrow.
Chao Lian had established the process of ordering before delivery, making everyone feel that the facial mask powder was scarce.
Scarcity makes things seem more precious, and hence more likely to become fashionable.
Chao Lian also told Qiao Duo’er that she would pick up the new style of boxes from Wind Liyang the next day, which meant Qiao Duo’er would have to find time to make the trip.
After discussing the facial mask powder, Qiao Duo’er took the opportunity to ask about Madam Liang, who acted high and mighty.
Chao Lian said with disdain, "That woman is really annoying, she’s the daughter of the master, and she has an uncle who’s an official at Ning Tian Mansion, ranked above Lord Qin. She bullies others around White Stone Town by throwing her weight around."
"Moreover, their whole family is cunning and likes to take little advantages. Not even Lord Qin can do much about them," Yang Ruoruo added.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "No wonder she came with silver today."
Madam Liang came directly to snatch the recipe for braised meat; Qin Longyun could have dealt with her.
But since she came to buy, just offering a low price, even the highest officials could not intervene.
In other words, this woman was quite smart; despite her greed, she stayed within the bounds that ensured her safety.
"Sister Duo’er, you need to be very careful these days. That woman likes to play dirty, and she is well-acquainted with the ruffians and hooligans in town," Chao Lian said worriedly.
Her biggest cousin’s carpentry shop had encountered such an issue.
Madam Liang wanted to buy furniture and came to negotiate with Li Yang, offering a very low price.
Li Yang refused to make a deal at a loss and declined immediately. Then Madam Liang went around spreading messages, inciting ruffians to cause trouble, and even had mourners create a scene at the shop.
In short, if she didn’t get her way, she would make it impossible for you to carry on with business.
The most infuriating part was the lack of evidence to prove it was her instigation; reporting to the authorities was not even an option.
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but curse; this was just too damn disgusting.
Chao Lian and Yang Ruoruo couldn’t agree more. Madam Liang was like a maggot in a toilet, utterly revolting.
But as she hadn’t broken any laws, they had no choice but to let her continue to disgust people.
"Who in town has a business background that can contend with the Liang Family?"
After some thought, Chao Lian said, "Welcoming Guest Building should be quite formidable. It’s the only place in town that’s bigger than Yuan Customer Arrival, and I’ve never heard of Madam Liang daring to bother them."
Qiao Duo’er nodded; as long as there were natural predators, it was reassuring.
After seeing off Chao Lian and Yang Ruoruo, Qiao Duo’er also gathered her emotions.
From now on, she would have to set up a stall in town personally; otherwise, she couldn’t be at ease.
However, Qiao Duo’er wasn’t too worried. After all, no matter how formidable Madam Liang was, she was still human. When the time came, one just needed to counteract whatever came their way.
It was only by starting to retaliate that they could find evidence.
Before heading to town, Qiao Duo’er discussed the stakes with everyone, but not a single person backed down.
Qiao Duo’er had been so good to them; they couldn’t be ungrateful.
So, Qiao Duo’er reassigned the roles. Chao Lian and Erhu would sell bamboo baskets, while she and Hu’s Clan would sell the braised meat. This way, they were less conspicuous and could support each other promptly.
Madam Liang was very efficient in carrying out her plans. Not long after their stall was set up, troublemakers showed up.
They were a group of burly men with a nasty look about them that made them instantly distasteful.
"Two ladies daring to set up a stall here—did your men die?" The leader of the men said scornfully, eyeing Qiao Duo’er and her companion.
