Chapter 320: Changing Fortunes on the Way
I saw that Chen Lao was talking eloquently, looking like a big man.
"A few days ago, Wang Er came to me and said that the shopkeeper framed him for being greedy for money?" Old Chen's eyes flashed with confusion, and he stared at Ling Xiu'er's body in a blink of an eye, and before she could answer, he said, "The old man and Wang Er have been working in the account room for so long, the old man believes that it is absolutely impossible for him to do this thing!" β
So?
So you have to apologize to yourself?
Ling Xiu'er really didn't think that Old Chen would actually talk about this matter, it's really ...... I never thought of it!
Seeing that Ling Xiu'er didn't understand, and in front of so many people, Chen Lao clenched his fists tightly, walked towards Ling Xiu'er step by step, and threatened in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, you must do what you promised me!" Now, the old man doesn't want this maid anymore, so I will apologize to Wang Er with you, I think, you have already knelt down to serve tea, this matter, it shouldn't be difficult......"
The sound was so small that it could only be heard by a few people around it.
In the distance, the group of workers frowned suspiciously, and looked over in confusion.
This old Chen's mouth is moving, but why is there no sound? And, looking at Ling Xiu'er's face is wrong, could it be that she said something again?
Before everyone could think clearly, Ling Xiu'er took a step back disdainfully and snorted coldly, her voice was not loud or small, but it fell into the ears of everyone present, "I refuse!" β
"You!"
This dead girl actually dared to refuse him!
A wave of anger stained Old Chen's face, and he stretched out his index finger and pointed incredibly at Ling Xiu'er's face with his head held high in front of him.
Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other.
"Old Chen, you said at the time that you wanted to be a maid and asked me to apologize to you in front of so many people, and I agreed! But Wang Er's greed for money, the evidence is conclusive, you say that I misunderstood him? Unless you have evidence to help him, unless the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, I will not be able to agree to such a false request. β
"You! You, you, you! You're going to me off! β
Chen Lao saw that Ling Xiu'er was reluctant to agree, so he actually covered his chest, looking like he was about to faint.
Seeing this, Ling Xiu'er still didn't let go, as if she had already known Old Chen's tricks, and continued, "Old Chen, you don't need to pretend anymore!" I'll tell you bluntly, the matter between you and Wang Er is clearly two different things, and I'm not a soft bone, I respect you and let you have three points! But that's not a reason for you to kick your nose in the face and bargain with me in front of so many workers! β
Because of Ling Xiuer's words, there are two faces in the embroidery village workers.
One is to support Ling Xiu'er, and the other is to think that Ling Xiu'er deliberately threw her face here.
It is precisely because Ling Xiuer is not a soft bone that everyone knows that in this embroidery village, what she says is one and two is two.
Ling Xiu'er had a firm attitude, and instantly got back all the limelight that was suppressed by Chen Lao at the beginning.
"Since Old Maid Chen doesn't want it, the juniors don't need to waste this money, Ah Cui, give each of the three girls a piece of silver as compensation, and ask them to leave the embroidery village." Ling Xiu'er was grateful to Chen Lao for his sudden change of hexagram, and she didn't need to push this group of girls into the fire pit, so she turned her eyes and said to Acui, the personal maid behind her.
"Yes."
Atsui nodded again and again, and left in a hurry with the three maids.
Perhaps thinking that their lives had come back from the fire pit, the three maids bowed to Ling Xiu'er to express their gratitude when they left, even though it was Ling Xiu'er who gathered them together to present to the old man Chen at the beginning.
The maid's matter was done, and Ling Xiu'er turned her head to look at Chen Lao again.
"Old Chen, I will also give you the face you want, I hope you can work honestly in the account room next, and the junior will go back to work first."
Ling Xiu'er left in style, no longer paying attention to the angry old man Chen behind her.
Around the courtyard of the bookkeeper, the workers were scattered, and no one dared to stay and watch the play, as if they feared that the flames of this anger would reach them.
And Wang Er, under the guidance of Fan Meihua, came to Chen Lao and said with an apologetic expression.
"Old Chen, you are really majestic this time!"
"Is this still majestic?" Chen Lao snorted coldly, and slammed his fist straight on the stone table, making a dull sound, "I was swept away by that Ling Xiu'er, and I am still majestic?" β
"Not really! Chen Lao is the only one in the whole embroidery village who makes Ling Xiu'er soft, where is it not majestic. β
Wang Er smiled flatteringly, and pinched the rough hand on Chen Lao's shoulder.
Chen Lao naturally disdains Wang Er's sycophants, but it's a pity, those three girls can also be really handsome, if he hadn't agreed to Wang Er's request, he wouldn't have wasted this great opportunity.
"Okay, okay, you go back first, the old man is going to rest and work, don't be looked at by the villain again, and say that the old man is not."
Chen Lao waved his hand and gave the order to evict the customer irritably.
"Yes, yes, that junior left first."
Wang Er nodded repeatedly, and then turned his head to leave.
γ
Ling Xiu'er angrily returned to the small courtyard where she usually stayed, and scolded, "That bad old man, do you really think you are the king of heaven?" It's good to find him three poor girls, and he dares to suddenly change his hexagram and mention the matter of Wang Er to me! β
"Miss, don't be angry~ That old Chen, didn't you also lose face?" Atsui comforted from the side.
"yes, yes! Miss, wait a while for the slave maid to prepare a cup of flower tea for you, go to the fire. Ah Fang followed on the other side, following Ah Cui's words to reassure.
The three of them brushed into the courtyard together, but they happened to see a handsome man sitting on the stone bench in the courtyardβ
Cao Yu.
Joy climbed up her cheeks, Ling Xiu'er waved away the haze just now, waved her hand at the two maids behind her, and came to Cao Yu's side, "Why are you here?" Don't let others discover your identity and expose your whereabouts! β
"You don't have to worry about it so much."
Cao Yu stood up, with a smile on her face, her fair and slender hand stretched out, picked up the broken hair that had slid down her cheeks, and hung it on the back of Ling Xiu'er's head.
Because of this move, Ling Xiu'er's cheeks flushed, she lowered her head and chuckled, but she looked up suspiciously, and asked, "Then why did you come?" How bold! β
"For ......" Cao Yu hesitated, looked around, and then leaned into Ling Xiu'er's ear and said, "In order to step on Yeluda." β
Stepping on points?
Ling Xiu'er wondered, "Why?" β
Cao Yu patiently explained, "It's not because of the fake cloth. β
Seeing that Ling Xiu'er was still confused, he explained, "Silly girl! Now Jerodah is inspecting the whole embroidery house under your name, just to find the place where the fake cloth exists. β
"I see......"
