Chapter 212 Take Your Time
In their eyes, Xu Mo's status was extremely important. To be able to have such a person come to their door in person must have been a very important deal. This opportunity, which should have belonged to their village, they could only watch it fall into the hands of others, and they could not help but feel sad.
"Zhi'er, it looks like it's going to be hard to get the weaving workshop off the ground."
Ma Yongbo's voice was somewhat heavy and his eyes were filled with sadness.
Ma Zhi seemed unwilling to accept this fact. Mrs. Wu's words yesterday were still ringing in his ears. That gentle promise was like a shot in the arm, making him hard to believe that all this was just empty talk.
"Uncle Ma, Mrs. Wu clearly said yesterday that she would help us rebuild..." There was a hint of reluctance and expectation in his tone.
Ma Yongbo looked at the stubborn young man in front of him with mixed feelings.
He knew that businessmen's promises were often lighter than a feather, especially in this situation where there was no actual guarantee. The Wu family had no blood relationship with them, and yesterday's words might have been just a casual promise. The real test was still to come. Those seemingly beautiful promises might very well become empty promises one day in the future.
Xu Mo's sudden visit today almost made Ma Yongbo certain that Mrs. Wu's promise was nothing but a mirage, beautiful but illusory.
"Silly boy."
Ma Yongbo sighed softly, looking past the young man in front of him to the figure under the old camphor tree, and said earnestly, "If it can really be built, I will be the first to support it. But... Alas."
At this time, under the lush camphor tree, Xu Mo was waiting nervously, his hands trembling slightly. He took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth: "Master Wu, Madam Wu, there is one thing I must tell you truthfully. The cloth shipped out of Majia Village last time was unfortunately intercepted by Wang Fugui. I just learned the news and came here to inform you two."
As the head of the Chamber of Commerce, he felt deeply saddened by the despicable behavior of his merchants, and his tone was full of unquestionable determination: "Please rest assured, I will personally deal with Wang's Cloth Shop and make sure that they not only receive the punishment they deserve, but also double the compensation for your losses."
Hearing this, Ran He let out a meaningful smile: "Mr. Xu is truly fair, selfless, kind and upright. Your actions are admirable."
Xu Mo caught the strangeness in her words, but found it difficult to grasp the meaning behind them. On the surface, her words sounded fine, but he always felt that something was not right.
Wu Xu seemed even more indifferent. He waved his hand gently, his tone calm and almost indifferent: "How you deal with it has nothing to do with me. If everything is fine, you can leave."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Xu Mo's head. His heart suddenly tightened and he suddenly realized that his action might backfire.
Not far away, Xu Cong listened to this conversation quietly, with a barely perceptible sadness flashing in his eyes.
He sighed inwardly, feeling helpless and regretful about this game-like scheme.
People always have to grow up in pain, don't they? Xu Cong gently closed his eyes and decided not to dwell on it anymore and let it go.
Xu Mo stood there and suddenly realized that he might have made an extremely stupid decision.
The other party's indecision yesterday clearly showed his doubts, but this morning he walked into the trap and exposed his cards. It was really stupid.
Cold sweat slid down his forehead, and for a moment, he didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Just as he was about to leave silently, a strong sense of self-blame and guilt surged into his heart, forcing him to speak again: "Master Wu, I know I was wrong..."
Wu Xu paused, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, staring coldly at Xu Mo, every word fell like a hammer: "You have one last chance."
At this moment, Xu Mo felt unprecedented pressure. He knew that every next step would determine the direction of everything.
Xu Mo knew the significance of these words. He took a deep breath and said, "That incident was the result of a unanimous decision by all members of the Chamber of Commerce. I personally ordered the donation of the shipload of cloth to the Wang family, and I handled all the profits. I will take the blame for this mistake alone. I beg Master Wu to forgive my impulsive behavior. I am willing to pay any compensation."
"Finally, I heard a true word. The loss of fabric can be compensated, but what are you going to use to compensate for the loss of innocent lives?"
Ran He's voice was as cold as ice, and every word pierced the heart.
"me……"
Xu Mo's forehead was covered with sweat, which seemed to be dripping onto the ground. Suddenly, an idea suddenly occurred to him. "Mrs. Wu, please give me three days. After three days, I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"Okay, then we'll wait for three days."
The couple's figures gradually faded away, leaving Xu Mo alone, who was finally able to let out the long breath that had been held in his chest.
Xu Cong quickly moved closer and asked in a low voice: "Master, do you have any good ideas?"
"I have my own way of dealing with it."
Xu Mo's words were calm, but there was a gleam of determination in his eyes.
As the setting sun cast its last rays, the couple walked side by side along a country path.
"The person next to him has obviously seen through your identity."
Ran He said softly.
"Ah."
Wu Xu nodded slightly, "Yan Er had a fight with him yesterday and tested his skills. The traces from there are very obvious."
"There?!"
Ran He's tone was full of surprise.
She had set foot in that place once before. Everyone there was a royal soldier, loyal only to the royal family and the emperor.
Three years ago, Wu Xu took her there and witnessed the absolute loyalty with his own eyes.
"No wonder he sent Xu Mo to apologize. But how could someone from that place appear next to Xu Mo?"
Ran He's brows were filled with confusion.
"Xu Mo once lent a helping hand when he was in trouble. After the debt is paid, he will naturally return to his original position."
"I see. It can be considered as returning a favor for him."
There was a hint of warmth in Ran He's smile.
Given Wu Xu's personality, if it weren't for this kindness, Xu Mo would have no chance of survival.
As for whether he can grasp this glimmer of hope, it depends on Xu Mo's own luck.
Of course, Xu Mo's life and death is not completely hopeless, except that it is in the hands of those families who have lost their loved ones.
During the three days of waiting, Ran He was not idle. She specially purchased mulberry seedlings and cotton seeds, and also bought a batch of textile equipment.
More importantly, she tried her best to discover skilled craftsmen in various textile workshops.
After three days of hard work, all the material preparations were ready, except for the difficulty in finding skilled craftsmen.
Most skilled craftsmen are unwilling to leave their hometowns, which makes Ran He feel regretful, but he does not force it.
She spread her hands and smiled helplessly: "It seems that we have to train a group of weaver girls ourselves."
"It's okay, take your time."
