Chapter Eighty-Four: The Man Who Should Be Stayed
An Xiabai worked hard to search for the news about Tang Zongzong in his memory, he became famous and official at a young age, and he was originally a family that everyone envied, but overnight, he was reported for corruption and bribery, and since then he has become a warlock.
In his previous life, how did he become Lu Li's military and help fight the country, An Xiabai didn't know very well, and could only guess from the words of the world that Lu Li saved him and his mother's lives when he was poor? Maybe I can buy him with silver taels now?
An Xiabai secretly looked at Tang Zongzong's dress, and after confirming that he shouldn't have too many silver taels on him now, he smiled lightly and said, "I think we can make a deal?" ”
At that time, Tang Zongzong's eyes were rolling drippingly, thinking about what method to use to fool Tang Luoying and take the opportunity to escape, and how to avoid Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng, who were obviously extraordinary, and realized that things had actually taken a turn for the better, and almost laughed a flower on his face: "Madam, what kind of trading method, do you think I am accurate in calculating the hexagram, and you want me to help you calculate the peach blossom luck?" ”
"Talk nonsense, I'm careful, I'm not polite to you!" Zhang Xiaodong couldn't hear similar words, and scolded angrily.
"It's okay." An Xia Bai was slightly stunned, but did not show it in public, but chose to talk to Tang Zongzong calmly.
"You're a liar," she said. ”
Tang Zongzong's blood was cold, and just when he thought that An Xiabai would let go and let Zhang Xiaodong beat him, he heard An Xiabai sigh and say: "But it's not a big problem, who is not a little difficult in life, you came out to deceive people, it must be because of changes in your family, in short, I can understand you." ”
Not only did Zhang Xiaodong be stunned when he heard the unclear words, but even Tang Zongzong was surprised: "Madam, you are really kind...."
An Xiabai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "In this way, you return the money to him, I will arrange work for you in the restaurant, and I can also lend you money to let you get through the current difficulties, do you think the transaction is worth it?" ”
As if a pie fell from the sky and happened to hit his head, Tang Zongzong was confused: "This is not very good, right?" ”
Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng also objected: "Sister-in-law, you can't be too kind to liars, people like him should be beaten and thrown into the yamen, and then swagger and deceive in the future." ”
An Xiabai didn't reply, but the smile on the corner of her lips deepened: "Sir, what do you think?" ”
The so-called transaction in her mouth is beneficial and harmless to Tang Zongzong, and it is precisely because of this that he does not dare to nod easily, for fear that he will not be submerged An Xiabai said: "I want to think about it!" ”
At this moment, Zhang Xiaodong snorted and said: "What are you thinking about, my sister-in-law is kind-hearted but I don't necessarily, if you return the money today, you will also enter the yamen, and if you don't return the money, you will be beaten and then enter the yamen." ”
The two of them sang and harmonized, Tang Zong finally understood, An Xiabai was playing a trick on himself, if he didn't agree to her, he would have to be uncomfortable for a while.
He glanced at An Xiabai, glanced at Zhang Xiaodong and Liu Fengfeng's expressions again, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll return the money, but I want to advance this month's salary, I have an urgent need, what do you think, madam?" ”
An Xiabai agreed without hesitation.
When Zhang Xiaodong held the money in the palm of his hand, there was still an unreal feeling, and he glanced at Tang Zongzong who was following behind him, and his expression was very unnatural.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you really afraid that he will cause trouble for you after he goes to your store?"
An Xiabai shook his head with a smile, and was about to say no, when he heard Tang Zongzong behind him snort coldly: "But as long as you can live a stable life, who wants to go to the street to set up a stall to tell fortunes and cheat money, don't look down on people too much." ”
Several of them didn't deal with each other, An Xiabai was afraid that Zhang Xiaodong would make an accident, so he asked Liu Fengfeng to take him back to settle down, and he took Tang Zongzong back to the restaurant.
"It turns out that you opened this restaurant." Tang Zongzong said in surprise.
"Sort of, if it's a joint venture with someone." She asked Tang Zongzong to sit down first, and she turned her head to talk to Zhou Hedong behind the counter, asked him about his salary for two months, and asked if there was a vacancy in the restaurant.
Zhou Hedong's face was not very good-looking, and An Xiabai brought people back to him and saw it at a glance, and he was dissatisfied: "There is no vacancy in the restaurant that needs manpower." ”
An Xiabai had no choice but to take the money out first.
"So much?" Tang Zongzong said in surprise, "Your restaurant treats work so well? ”
An Xiabai shook his head with a smile, and said frankly that he was the only one who made an exception: "For your sake, I paid you two months' wages in advance, if it is not enough, you can ask me to borrow it again." ”
Tang Zongzong had a complicated mood: "A stranger who just met, is it worthy of your trust?" ”
"Others don't necessarily deserve it, but I think you can." An Xiabai suddenly felt a little sleepy, so he pointed to Zhou Hedong who was standing behind the counter, "He is the bookkeeper in the restaurant, I just told him that if there is a job, I will arrange it for you to do, he agreed, you sit for a while, he should arrange it for you." ”
In fact, Tang Zongzong had a lot of doubts in his heart that he wanted to ask, but when he saw the sleepiness on An Xia's white face, he suddenly felt unbearable.
He nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, I'll go and ask him later." ”
After a pause here, as if he wanted to prove himself, he snorted and said, "I promise you that I won't run away after accepting your money." ”
Just like Tang Zongzong told her just now, as long as she can have a peaceful life, no one will be willing to do anything to cheat and deceive, she is willing to trust, and Tang Zongzong will naturally not live up to it.
"Okay." An Xiabai nodded, stood up and yawned, saying that he needed to rest, turned around and went upstairs.
Because she was sleepy, she didn't notice that after she turned around and went upstairs, Zhou Hedong walked towards Tang Zongzong with an unkind face.
Tang Zongzong saw his dissatisfaction with himself, but he didn't say anything: "This little brother, do you need my help with any work in my restaurant?" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Hedong said viciously, "The guests on the second floor have just left, and the guys are too busy, you go and help clean up." ”
Tang Zongzong responded, turned around and followed the other guy up to the second floor.
As a result, because he was not good at tidying up, coupled with his hands and unfamiliar environment, he accidentally broke a set of tea cups, and was scolded by Zhou Hedong while holding his head.
"My bad." Tang Zongzong held back his anger, "I'm more careless in my work, I can't do this kind of meticulous work, why don't you arrange something else for me to do?" ”
Zhou Hedong snorted coldly, and it took a long time to arrange another job for him.
Tang Zongzong had the heart to do a good job, but he didn't have the ability, so he smashed everything he could, and Zhou Hedong was so angry that he almost burst into flames: "Why don't you know anything!" ”
Tang Zongzong was very embarrassed and said that he was not like this, he was served by others before, where did he do the work of serving tea and pouring water, and the feeling of having no talent but nowhere to use made him very angry: "Why don't you arrange other jobs for me?" ”
He wanted to make up for it, but Zhou Hedong refused: "People like you can't do it anywhere, forget it, I can't arrange the work you can do at all, let's wait for Mrs. Lu to wake up, and then she will arrange it herself." I've been in a restaurant for so long, and I've never seen a person like you, who looks like a dog, but I didn't expect to be able to do even a little thing! ”
Tang Zongzong was also angry in his heart, thinking that instead of staying here and continuing to be angry, it would be better to change places and be abducted!
He took out the silver taels that An Xiabai gave him, and only took out some broken silver as a reward for today's help, and glared at Zhou Hedong and walked away.
At the same time, Lu Li just entered the door, passed by, and subconsciously glanced at Tang Zongzong.
Somehow, I had a strange feeling in my heart.
However, Lu Li quickly ignored it and walked quickly to Zhou Hedong: "Where is Mrs. Lu?" ”
Zhou Hedong didn't look up, thinking that the person standing in front of the counter was Tang Zongzong, so he said angrily: "Even if you are the person introduced by your wife to enter the door, you still have to leave!" ”
The person who looked a little familiar just now was introduced to the door by his wife, could it be her relative?
Lu Li asked with doubts, "What's his name?" ”
Only then did Zhou Hedong realize that something was wrong, raised his head and saw that the person in front of him was Lu Li, and almost jumped up from the ground: "He, his name is Tang Zongzong, and he was introduced into the restaurant by his wife as a partner." ”
Every time Zhou Hedong sees himself, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, although Lu Li is strange, but he has no heart to investigate the reason, he asked An Xiabai about his whereabouts, and learned that when she was resting upstairs, she went upstairs with the fetal medicine she had just fried.
An Xiabai was still sleeping, he couldn't bear to wake people up directly, but sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly until An Xiabai woke up by himself, and asked in a daze: "Husband, why are you here?" ”
"I'll bring you a tocolytic." Lu Li smiled softly.
"Thank you, Mr. Thanks." She smiled back, drank the slightly bitter decoction, and ate the candied fruit handed over by Lu Li, and leaned on Lu Li, like a lazy cat.
"When I entered the door just now, I happened to see Tang Zongzong leaving the restaurant, I heard that he was the guy who brought him into the restaurant, don't be your relative, right?"
An Xiabai's face changed slightly, he sat up straight directly, and asked in surprise, "Tang Zongzong is gone?" ”
After getting Lu Li's affirmative reply, she half-frowned and explained vaguely: "He is not a relative, but I thought I was familiar on the street, so I brought him in." ”
Then she hurriedly ran downstairs under Lu Li's puzzled gaze to confront Zhou Hedong.
No matter how sluggish Zhou Hedong was, he could see that her face was not good, but he still stubbornly said: "It's not that I deliberately targeted him, it's that he is really too stupid, he can't bring tea and water, it's useless to stay in the restaurant, it's better to go out." ”
The person who had been dug into the restaurant with great difficulty was sent away by him, and An Xiabai was very annoyed: "Who is born to know everything, and can't learn slowly, why don't you even have this patience?" He was brought in by me, and anyone with eyes can see that his identity is different, and you insist on driving people away, won't you embarrass me in public? ”
An Xiabai gritted his teeth, wrinkled his brows and said: "I see that you are floating, and you don't take me in your eyes at all, if you and him have to go one, then you should go." ”
Zhou Hedong was stunned for a moment, and nodded stiffly: "In this case, I'll go!" ”
