Chapter Twenty-Six: Failure to Test the Waters
"I have deeply realized my mistake, and now that I am married to a daughter-in-law, as a man, how can I let my woman be afraid of him?"
"Therefore, in the future, I Zhang Xiaochi will never do anything like stealing chickens and touching dogs again."
"I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you."
After speaking, Zhang Xiaochi got up to face the crowd, and then bowed deeply.
Looking at Zhang Xiaochi with a sincere attitude, people hesitated, to be honest, they didn't want to forgive each other so easily, after all, Zhang Xiaochi and Liu Mazi and others had harmed the residents of Qingwa Town very badly, and the entire Qingwa Town, except for the powerful, almost every family had been harmed by Zhang Xiaochi and others.
"Ridiculous, just because of what you've done before, you want us to forgive you with a simple apology?"
In the crowd, a cold voice was heard.
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately resonated with people.
"Yes, if everyone does something wrong, and then says sorry and it's over, won't the world be in chaos?"
"That's right, we don't accept your apology."
"Yes, he should be sent to prison!"
"Squatting in prison!"
"Squatting in prison!"
……
Zhang Xiaochi was stunned for a while, he didn't admit his mistakes before, and people kept him secret, but now that he began to admit his mistakes, the people who saw him in the past like mice and cats suddenly became stronger.
It's okay to let him apologize, but let him go to jail, Zhang Xiaochi will never do such a stupid thing, if they don't forgive, they won't forgive, it's a big deal to go to other places to open a restaurant.
He looked up at the people around him, and the people who were clamoring to take him to prison just now were instantly silent, and no one dared to look at Zhang Xiaochi.
"Husband!"
Behind him, Lin Xiaoxi was a little worried, so he shouted in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I won't mess around."
Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, he will not go to prison, but he will not retreat as soon as he encounters a setback, and facing difficulties is his spiritual belief when he is in service.
"Guys, how can you forgive me?"
Zhang Xiaochi looked at the people and asked.
"Forgive me for not daring to do it, as long as you don't attack us!"
In the crowd, an obscure voice rang out.
"I've washed my hands and will never do it again."
Zhang Xiaochi assured, however, that the people did not answer again, and began to disperse one by one, and before long, only three of them were left in front of the stall.
"Husband, they don't believe us, what should we do now?"
Zhang Xiaochi sighed, this result was expected, and unexpected, although he played a scene with the invited trust, so that the onlookers saw the scene of his sincere repentance, but the bad impression has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it will not be able to dispel people's concerns about him for a while.
"Forget it, this kind of thing can't be rushed."
Zhang Xiaochi replied.
"Boss, one more string."
"They don't eat my stuff, so why do you still eat it?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked pretending to be curious.
"Because your barbecue is indeed delicious, and as a man who knows his mistakes and can change them, he deserves respect for that."
"Thank you."
This thank you is said to the other party on the surface, and the other meaning is also to thank Wu Xiong for helping.
Zhang Xiaochi was a little moved in his heart, the latter part was not rehearsed, and it was not in the plan, it was obvious that before the three of them came, Wu Xiong told them something.
Wu Xiong's three subordinates couldn't stay at the barbecue stall all the time, so they ate the last skewer of barbecue, chatted with Zhang Xiaochi for a while, and then left.
As the three of them left, the barbecue stall immediately became deserted, and compared to other stalls, he could be described as miserable here.
However, the only thing that makes Zhang Xiaochi more relieved is that in the past, there would be no one within a radius of three meters where he was, but now in front of his vendors, there are already people willing to pass by him, and the 'vacuum' range of three meters has also been narrowed to "two meters".
This is a good omen.
"Husband, you come to teach me barbecue, and I'll sell it."
Lin Xiaoxi said seriously.
"No, what I'm trying to do is to get people to abandon their prejudices against me, and if you come to set up a stall, it may deepen everyone's disgust with me."
"However, no one accepted our apology."
"Take your time."
Faced with Lin Xiaoxi's worries, Zhang Xiaochi had no choice but to answer, in fact, he himself didn't come up with a reason for the time being, so he could only take one step at a time for the time being.
"Boy, you're so bold!"
At this moment, a familiar and gloomy voice sounded, Zhang Xiaochi looked up and found that the cattle shopkeeper appeared in front of the stall at some point.
"Yo, isn't this the cow shopkeeper of the restaurant and the people!"
"Why, isn't the lesson from last time enough for you to remember?"
Zhang Xiaochi didn't open which pot to mention, so that the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and the sense of humiliation in the past instantly surged into his heart.
"Don't be complacent, boy!"
The shopkeeper Niu stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Xiaochi, but when he spoke, he was obviously a little nervous.
"If you have something to say, if you want to eat barbecue, I welcome it, if there is nothing else, don't be an eyesore from here!"
Zhang Xiaochi began to give an eviction order, but the shopkeeper Niu did not leave, but said coldly.
"Boy, I know what you mean by setting up a stall here, it's nothing more than trying to steal business."
Speaking of this, a trace of disdain appeared on the cow's shopkeeper's face and sneered.
"As far as your boy's reputation is concerned, it's good that the people of Qingwa Town didn't beat you up, and they still want them to take care of your business, don't even think about it."
"You can set up a stall wherever you want, you can't care about it, and you can't care what people think of me!"
"Besides, get out of here if it's okay, don't be an eyesore here!"
Zhang Xiaochi looked at the shopkeeper Niu coldly, the shopkeeper Niu trembled in his heart, he thought of the scene of being taught by Zhang Xiaochi, and immediately involuntarily took two steps back.
"This is the street of Qingwa Town, not your Zhang Xiaochi's back garden, you can stand wherever I want, and you can't care either!"
"To tell you the truth, you'd better get out of here, otherwise, you'll anger my boss and make you unable to eat and walk around!"
"Hehe, go back and tell your boss, from today onwards, even if you don't have business, you will set up a stall at your door!"
Zhang Xiaochi didn't eat this at all, ignored the other party's warning, and made a straightforward statement.
Seeing Zhang Xiaochi's soft and hard attitude, the cattle shopkeeper was angry, but at present, he was helpless, since he suffered a loss in the hands of Zhang Xiaochi last time, he knew that with the current person in the restaurant, he couldn't handle him at all.
In fact, before there were no reinforcements to help, the reason why the shopkeeper Niu came to Zhang Xiaochi was mainly because Zhang Xiaochi set up a stall at the door of the restaurant, because of Zhang Xiaochi's personal reasons, people did not dare to pass here, which seriously affected the business of the restaurant.
