Chapter 158 - 158 158 Trouble Arises

158: Chapter 158 Trouble Arises 158: Chapter 158 Trouble Arises Li Yujia heard him say the word “like,” her mind already a bit dazed.

When she heard the word “also,” she felt like she couldn’t catch her breath.

Just then, Wu Xiaoyu let go of her hand, picked up the mushrooms on the table, and started to walk towards the kitchen door.

Seeing the situation, Li Yujia was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when Wu Xiaoyu suddenly turned back and lightly touched her cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water.

In an instant, Li Yujia’s mind exploded like a volcano, while Wu Xiaoyu, carrying the mushroom sauce, ran out, shouting, “Grandma, the mushroom sauce is ready, come and see if it tastes right!”

Qin Xiangqin saw Wu Xiaoyu running over but didn’t see Li Yujia.

She tasted the mushroom sauce in the pan and cheerfully said, “If I’m not mistaken, this mushroom sauce was made by Jiajia, right?”

Wu Xiaoyu heard her words and didn’t respond.

Instead, he ran to the door and shouted towards the kitchen, “Jiajia, Grandma is calling you!”

Li Yujia was startled awake by his shout, patted her cheeks a few times, and indicated to herself to stay calm.

“Grandma, wha…

what’s wrong?

Is the taste, not right?” Li Yujia walked in slowly, her head lowered, and asked.

Seeing her head hanging low, Qin Xiangqin was a bit puzzled and asked, “Why are you hanging your head?

It’s like you’ve done something wrong!

The mushroom sauce you made tastes quite good, improved a lot from before!”

Wu Xiaoyu seized the opportunity and shamelessly said, “Grandma, it seems like it’s because I helped out while Jiajia was making the mushroom sauce.

From now on, let her call me whenever she makes it, and the taste will definitely be good!”

Hearing his playful words, Li Yujia felt a mix of annoyance and confusion.

Since when had he become so good at flattering people?

If he had always been like this, my sister probably…

huh!

No, their breakup wasn’t because of this!

Qin Xiangqin found Wu Xiaoyu’s flowery words quite amusing rather than getting angry.

“If you really think so, why don’t you marry our Jiajia?” Qin Xiangqin teased.

Li Yujia, already flustered by Wu Xiaoyu’s earlier teasing, turned beet red upon hearing her grandmother’s sudden comment.

She angrily retorted, “Grandma, what nonsense are you saying?”

After saying that, she ran out.

Qin Xiangqin didn’t understand her strong reaction and thought, isn’t it just a joke?

Why such an intense reaction?

Wu Xiaoyu saw her running out and quickly followed her, laughing as he caught up with her in the kitchen, “What’s wrong with you?

This reaction makes it seem like there’s three hundred taels of silver buried here!”

Seeing him follow, Li Yujia quickly shut the kitchen door, turned her back to him, but she was still secretly anticipating something.

Just as Wu Xiaoyu was about to push open the door, his phone inconveniently rang.

Annoyed, he took out the phone and saw it was a call from Huang Zhongqi.

Ever since signing the mushroom supply agreement, except for settling payments, they rarely contacted each other.

Why was he calling today?

Wu Xiaoyu answered the call and asked gently, “Manager Huang, what’s the matter?

Do you need something?”

The other party, somewhat annoyed, questioned, “Wu Xiaoyu, did you forget to deliver today?

The driver told me you didn’t ask him to help deliver.

What’s going on?”

Wu Xiaoyu felt a mixture of annoyance and confusion.

He had clearly asked little Li to take the mushrooms to town.

Did he forget to deliver them to the slaughterhouse?

“Manager Huang, don’t worry.

There seems to be some misunderstanding.

I’ll find out right away!” Wu Xiaoyu explained hastily, then quickly hung up the phone.

He glanced at the kitchen and said helplessly, “Jiajia, I have to go, something came up!”

Li Yujia, having heard his phone conversation inside, figured it was probably an issue with the mushroom sales.

She put away her aloofness, opened the door, and said, “Then you should hurry back!”

Seeing her speak to him voluntarily, Wu Xiaoyu felt comforted and left with a happy heart.

Just as he left Qin Xiangqin’s house, Wu Xiaoyu called Zhou Dong.

Once Zhou Dong answered, he quickly asked, “Zhou Dong, did little Li deliver the mushrooms to the slaughterhouse today?”

Zhou Dong was aware of Wu Xiaoyu’s mushroom supply deal with the Holy Land Hotel.

Therefore, he always reminded little Li every morning to deliver the goods, including today.

“I told little Li to deliver the goods to the slaughterhouse this morning!

What’s wrong?

Didn’t they receive it?” Zhou Dong asked, a bit worried.

Upon hearing the word “slaughterhouse,” Wu Xiaoyu realized the problem, slapped himself on the head, and remorsefully said,

“Damn!

Isn’t the slaughterhouse run by Wang Baishan?

How could I forget!

Did saying the driver should help deliver the mushrooms tip him off?”

Hearing this, Zhou Dong also began to criticize himself, “Nima!

What were we thinking?

We just fought off his troublemakers a few days ago, and we forgot about him?”

Mad!

Wu Xiaoyu hung up the phone, blaming himself.

Although he gave the delivery driver a tip, he was still an employee of the slaughterhouse!

If Wang Baishan knew about asking the driver to deliver the mushrooms, how could he let it slide?

It seems they must have intercepted that batch of mushrooms!

But the driver couldn’t even sneak a call to me?

Was it such a difficult favor to ask?

Angry as he was, he couldn’t neglect his deliveries.

Honesty in business comes first.

Since he signed a supply agreement, he had to deliver on time and in full!

Wu Xiaoyu quickly ran up the mountain, and seeing his cousin Wu Dushan was not there, he immediately grabbed the mushroom spores and scattered them in the vacant woodland near the chicken farm.

Then, he took a big bucket of Spiritual Spring Water from the jade token and poured it all over.

After finishing this, he called his cousin Wu Daqing to quickly come and harvest mushrooms at the chicken farm.

Every morning, Wu Daqing and his team climbed near the mountain top to harvest mushrooms.

The quantity they harvested daily was pretty consistent.

Today, hearing that Wu Xiaoyu discovered a new mushroom area, they cheerfully gathered people and went up the mountain.

When Wu Xiaoyu led them to that woodland near the chicken farm, everyone stared at him in disbelief.

“Xiaoyu, how are there so many mushrooms here, and they’ve grown so big?

Why haven’t we noticed them before?” Wu Daqing couldn’t help but ask.

Wu Xiaoyu didn’t have time to chat and impatiently said:

“Brother, don’t ask, just harvest!

I need them urgently.

And no weighing this time, I’ll give each of you eighty bucks!”

His cousins, knowing Wu Xiaoyu’s generosity from harvesting mushrooms for so long, didn’t hesitate.

They rushed in and started harvesting quickly.

While they were busy, Wu Xiaoyu hurried home, drove his motorcycle to the foot of the mountain, and after they finished harvesting, he rushed to town with the mushrooms.

Wu Xiaoyu twisted the motorcycle throttle to the maximum, sped to town, parked the bike at Jiji’s door, then hurriedly ran inside with the mushrooms.

Finding little Li who was serving dishes, Wu Xiaoyu pulled him aside, took out a few red bills, shoved them into his hand, and said, “Little Li, I need a favor, this is for your trouble!”
