Chapter 328: Distress

When Li Xiaoran heard the man’s words, she immediately felt that this family was very unlucky!
They had only gotten out of the carriage for a meal, but got pestered by such a scoundrel.
He wanted to forcefully take in a concubine and spoke so arrogantly. She wondered where he came from.
“I think that person looks familiar.” Old Madam Jin saw the scene as well. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the arrogant man was very familiar.
A name appeared in Old Madam Jin’s mind.
“Oh no, this person is the younger brother of the second prince’s secondary consort. The second prince’s brother-in-law is called Jian Kang!”
When Luo Ziyang heard Old Madam Jin’s words, he immediately thought of something.
Jian Kang? No wonder he looked so disgusting. It was that kid!
Back then, he always looked like he was asking for a beating. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a few years, he still hadn’t improved at all. Now, he actually came to Sichuan to cause trouble!
When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s words, she was stunned for a moment before looking at the people in the shop.
To be honest, Li Xiaoran had transmigrated from the modern era, so she didn’t have much reverence for imperial power.
But the people of this era were different. To them, imperial power was absolute.
Therefore, when they heard that he was related to the prince in the capital, many people’s expressions changed.
“Then let’s leave quickly! If we don’t leave now, we’ll be in big trouble!” When the man heard this, his heart sank and he immediately made a decision.
“Shopkeeper, I’m really sorry! Our family caused you guys a lot of trouble! If there’s a chance, we’ll repay your kindness!”
With that, the man pulled his wife and daughter out of the shop quickly.
The surrounding people widened their eyes when they saw this.
Although it was human nature for this family to be in a hurry to leave, they put the people in the shop in jeopardy.
As expected, kindness might not be reciprocated!
Thinking of this, the customers felt sympathy for Li Xiaoran and the others.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran sighed. When she turned around and saw that the people who came to work were also frightened, her heart sank.
As expected, before Li Xiaoran could call Luo Ziyang aside, two of the three people who came to work previously found
“Xiaoran, can you pay us our salary for this month in advance?! We’re just commoners. We don’t have the guts to provoke the prince. I’m sorry, but I have to think for my family!” Zhang Xuan was the first to walk forward and beg.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked at Yun Xiaoying and Bai Shu.
“What about you guys? Are you guys going to settle your salary too?”
When Yun Xiaoying heard this, she quickly nodded. “I want to settle my salary too!”
This time, only Bai Shu didn’t speak.
Bai Shu was also struggling internally. After all, the person they had provoked in the shop today was too prominent. He wasn’t someone ordinary people could afford to offend.
However, Bai Shu felt that it was too inhumane to leave now.
Ever since she came to Li Xiaoran’s shop to work, she had eaten her fill every day and her health had improved.
The salary here was high, and the job was enjoyable.
Although she was busy and tired every day, she was enjoying herself.
She originally thought that she was very lucky to work in Li Xiaoran’s shop and that in the long run, she would definitely earn a lot of money.
Many people in the village envied her. She didn’t want to give up such a lucrative job.
Besides, Li Xiaoran’s family usually treated them very well. Not only did they let them eat well, but they also gave due consideration to their health. No matter how tired they were, they would give them time to rest.
It wouldn’t be easy to find such a good boss in the future.
One couldn’t be ungrateful.
When there were no benefits, they clung to her eagerly. When they encountered trouble, they ran away.
Thinking of this, Bai Shu said resolutely, “No. I still have to work in the shop!” When Li Xiaoran heard Bai Shu’s words, she smiled.
Not bad. At least none all of them were ingrates. At least one of them had a
conscience.
“You won’t regret your choice today!” Li Xiaoran looked at Bai Shu and said. After that, Li Xiaoran paid Yun Xiaoying and Zhang Xuan’s wages.
Before paying them, Li Xiaoran said this to the two of them.
“You guys wanted to leave on your own accord! After you leave, our shop won’t hire you guys anymore. We won’t even hire your family, relatives, or relatives either! We definitely won’t hire someone who can’t share our difficulties!”
When Yun Xiaoying heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she hesitated, but in the end, she took the money and left.
Zhang Xuan didn’t hesitate at all.
At this moment, Kang Zheng, who had come over with a walking stick, saw this scene and said,
“Some people are born with poor fortune. Even if wealth is placed in front of them, they won’t be able to grasp it. I think these two will definitely regret it in the future!”
Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao nodded in agreement.
They had witnessed Luo Cheng and Luo Ziyang’s capabilities. So what if the other party was the younger brother of the second prince’s secondary consort? They couldn’t do anything to Brother Luo Cheng.
Anyway, the three of them had blind trust and admiration for Luo Cheng.
After Li Xiaoran settled the matter, the shop resumed business as normal.
Although there were two fewer people, it didn’t affect the shop that much.
Li Xiaoran called Luo Ziyang to the back of the courtyard and asked, “You don’t seem afraid of that second prince.”
Li Xiaoran was smart, so Luo Ziyang didn’t hide it.
“That’s right! Sister-in-law, I wasn’t lying. No matter what the other party’s identity is, we don’t have to be afraid! If Jian Kang dares to cause trouble, we’ll make him suffer! This guy is simply a weak chicken in front of my brother. He’s not worth mentioning!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she had a certain understanding of Luo Cheng’s identity.
Luo Cheng’s family must be a powerful blue-blood family!
If he wasn’t afraid of the brother of a prince’s concubine, Luo Cheng must be from a powerful family himself!
No wonder Luo Ziyang said that.
However, didn’t Luo Cheng say that he had asked to be removed from the family?
Would his family still save him?
“Your brother has some important business to do now. If we cause trouble for him here, will it affect him negatively?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.
Luo Ziyang didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to think of the impact on Luo Cheng first, and he felt touched.
“Don’t worry, it won’t affect him!”
