Chapter Eighty-Eight: Cornered
When the woman left the noodle shop and returned home, she saw Chi Huifang standing at the door of her house.
Chi Huifang saw that the woman was back, so she hurriedly followed and went home with the woman.
"What have you been following me for, is there anything wrong with you."
The woman is also uncomfortable, and she has been followed by others just now, and her words are not very good.
This tone almost startled Chi Huifang, and she took out three fingers and came out.
The woman thought she was crazy, so she ignored it and went straight home.
"I'm willing to rent your shop for three times the money, what do you think?"
As soon as the conditions of this temptation came out, the woman immediately turned back.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The woman's mouth widened, she asked Shen Lingxiu to add only twice as much, but she didn't expect the woman in front of her to give three times as much, what else did she think, and quickly agreed.
"Of course it's true, why don't you want to, then I'll go first."
After Chi Huifang finished speaking, she pretended to leave, but the woman pulled Chi Huifang and said enthusiastically: "How can you not want to!" ”
She pulled Chi Huifang to the house and sat down, and the two of them chatted slowly.
"Since you said it's true, then of course I believe you, but there are still people in that shop, and when I quickly let her move out, I will rent it to you, what do you think?"
The woman said very kindly, and Chi Huifang also agreed and left.
Because the price given by Chi Huifang was very high, and Shen Lingxiu was unwilling to add it, the woman kept going to Shen Lingxiu's noodle restaurant to make trouble, and always drove out those guests who ate noodles.
At the beginning, Shen Lingxiu thought that she would be angry, and it might be fine after a while, but she didn't expect that the woman was getting worse day by day, and sometimes she even directly blocked the door of the noodle restaurant with something to prevent others from coming in.
Shen Lingxiu was really too lazy to entangle with her, so she went directly to the government to report the case, and two soldiers came out and brought her in.
As soon as the woman heard that Shen Lingxiu had gone to the official mansion, she felt a little weak in her heart, and hurriedly ran to find Chi Huifang.
Chi Huifang comforted the owner of the shop and told her not to worry, she would find a way.
In the court, Shen Lingxiu took out the contract written by the two of them at the beginning, and both signed it.
No matter what the woman said now, the evidence was here, and she had nothing to refute.
At this time, the shopkeeper was also brought in, she looked kind, if Shen Lingxiu hadn't seen her scolding and stopping people at the door, she must have thought that she was a good person.
But she is the person concerned, how can she not know the true face of this woman, a group of unscrupulous people for money, who can't even be the most basic person, she won't give in.
"My lord, the evidence is here, you see, the contract we signed has not expired, and the money is the same as it was at the beginning, but the owner of the house has come to trouble again and again."
"This has brought a lot of inconvenience to the people's daughters, and I ask the adults to make decisions for the people's daughters."
Shen Lingxiu used his three-inch tongue to start fighting, and the person sitting on it glanced at Shen Lingxiu, then picked up the paper on the seat and looked at it.
"It's really in black and white, but the shop belongs to the owner, and there's nothing wrong with her asking for a rent increase."
The shopkeeper's face was full of smug smiles, which made Shen Lingxiu feel disgusted.
"The contract was obviously signed, and the rent for this year is so much, how can you sit on the ground and start the price?"
Shen Lingxiu saw the person sitting on the main seat, and then looked at the owner of the shop, as if he understood something.
"You black and white official."
"Presumptuous, you diao, you have damaged the reputation of the official here, kicked me out, returned the house to the owner of the shop, and retreated."
After finishing speaking, the soldiers next to him all said the word "mighty" in their mouths, and kept hitting the ground with sticks, making a very loud sound.
The owner of the shop glanced at Chi Huifang, who was standing next to him, and both of them showed a sinister smile.
Shen Lingxiu almost scolded at the door, and she was angry in her heart, how could things have become like this.
She didn't think it would be that simple, but she didn't know what was going on, and it was like a homeless wandering along the way.
There must be some way in this, there are very few good officials since ancient times, how can she believe this.
Even she felt stupid, she was just a newcomer, how could she be able to beat these old fritters.
But she just doesn't admit defeat, forget it, let's take one step at a time.
Shen Lingxiu thought about it and went back to the noodle shop, and at this time, the woman, that is, the owner of the shop, was already waiting for her at the door of the noodle shop.
She glanced at her, how anxious she was, and she just came out of the yamen and began to chase her.
However, she still moved all her things out, and after some regulars came to see it, they also helped Shen Lingxiu with a hand.
Chi Huifang quickly occupied the shop and started some business, she paid so much money, she didn't use this shop to make money, isn't she stupid.
But after opening for a long time, no one came to buy anything, and some people came, but they just glanced at it and left.
Chi Huifang stayed in the store all day, very bored, and a little anxious. She rented it with so much rent, if she couldn't sell the things, and the store didn't guarantee it, these things would also kill her.
"What's the matter, Shen Lingxiu's business was so good when she was here, why did she become like this when she came here."
The more Chi Huifang thought about it, the more angry she became, thinking that it must be Shen Lingxiu's ghost, otherwise she wouldn't have done this, and her losses were all because of that woman.
After returning home, Shen Lingxiu was feeding the chickens, and Chi Huifang picked up a stone and threw it at one of the chicks.
When Shen Lingxiu saw it, she immediately stood up and asked, "Chi Huifang, what are you doing, why are you beating my chickens." ”
said that he wanted to beat Chi Huifang last time, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it, after all, it was his sister-in-law, no, it was Lin Ziwen's sister-in-law.
"Don't you know what you've done yourself, do you still need me to say it, shameless, slut."
"Do you think you're a good thing, not an old hen who won't lay eggs for decades, and when you talk about others, do you think about yourself?"
Seeing Shen Lingxiu talking about her sore spots, Chi Huifang became more and more angry, and the two of them quarreled-for-tat in the courtyard.
Father Lin was helped out of the house by Lin Ziwen, his face was very pale.
"What are you making trouble, it's all a family, you're a big house, look at what you're doing."
The expression of disappointment was revealed from Father Lin's face, and Lin Ziwen also looked at the two of them helplessly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
When Chi Huifang saw Father Lin coming, she was even more disdainful, and threatened Shen Lingxiu.
"Be honest with me, or I won't make it easy for you."
When Shen Lingxiu heard this, she wanted to go up and slap her, but she was stopped by Lin Ziwen.
Father Lin sighed angrily, and most of the voices in his voice were helpless.
In fact, he didn't know these things, but now that it has become like this, is he still making noise for others to see jokes?
"Go back, it's windy here, and it's in my eyes." After Father Lin finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lin Ziwen has also been supporting him, for fear that something will happen to Father Lin.
Shen Lingxiu was rarely aggrieved in her heart, but she didn't know what to say, and when she saw Father Lin like this, she felt very uncomfortable.
After a while, Lin Ziwen came out, he walked in front of Shen Lingxiu, took the corn in her hand, and poured it inside.
"Lingxiu, these days, you are taking care of the affairs of the family alone, and the affairs of the noodle restaurant, you have worked hard." The cold wind blew, but his voice was gentle.
After Shen Lingxiu heard this, she also felt a lot of comfort in her heart, after all, she was in this family, even if she had nothing, wouldn't there be him Lin Ziwen, that would be enough.
"Well, I know, you don't have to worry about these things, just take care of your dad with peace of mind, okay, I'll go cook first, otherwise Po will say he's hungry again in a while."
A smile appeared on Shen Lingxiu's face, which made Lin Ziwen's heart feel better and not so self-blaming.
After saying that, Shen Lingxiu went to the kitchen, and after the people in the village knew that Shen Lingxiu had not opened a noodle restaurant, they were even more cynical.
The passers-by began to laugh again, and at this time, Shen Lingxiu was squatting in the house to make a fire, leaving Lin Ziwen alone in the courtyard.
The men stopped as they passed by the doorway.
"You said, the old man of the Lin family is lying on the bed, and Shen Lingxiu has no noodle restaurant, what does this family eat?"
"Yes, I also have some doubts, without money, the family will not worry at all, alas, is this giving up hope of their own survival?"
"Hahahaha, yes, you guys said it's all like this, then Lin Ziwen still doesn't agree to go to the academy, pretending to be a good person, it's not all for money!"
Those people were talking at the door, and they kept talking, but they couldn't tell how many people there were, and they couldn't see who said them.
Lin Ziwen was very angry, his eyes were not good, but it didn't mean that he could really endure it when he saw those people insulting him.
"Have you all said enough, don't you think it's too much to talk under someone else's roof?"
Lin Ziwen, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally roared out, and those people had never seen Lin Ziwen lose his temper.
But one of the women continued: "You don't go to the school to teach, and you blame us!" ”
"yes, yes, how can you do that?" Those people also followed and scolded Lin Ziwen for not knowing what to do.
