Chapter 44: The unwilling Wu Xiong

"I can't hide anything from Brother Zhang, Li Yongfu rushed here in a hurry yesterday, in fact, it was to buy the tiger to curry favor with the big guys, and now the tiger has been taken into my pocket, and it is naturally better for me to do the things to please the big guys."

"Angkor, if I were you, I wouldn't get carried away here."

Zhang Xiaochi said with a smile.

Looking at Zhang Xiaochi's strange expression, Wu Xiong suddenly felt embarrassed, and hurriedly asked nervously.

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

"Li Yongfu will definitely not give up, although he has collected five wild boars, but it still can't be compared with the tiger, with his character, do you think he will give up?"

Hearing this, Wu Xiong suddenly realized, and his face full of meat was suddenly full of nervousness.

"Brother Zhang, I'll go back first!"

"Hmm."

Wu Xiong arched his hand and left quickly with his subordinates, for fear that something irreparable would happen if he was one step too late.

In fact, Zhang Xiaochi did say that after Li Yongfu went back last night, he started to plan to steal the tiger, but Wu Xiong arranged too many people to watch and couldn't start, for fear of startling the snake, so he could only give up temporarily.

Li Yongfu left, Zhang Xiaochi came to the entrance of the village unhurriedly, and found that the campsite at the entrance of the village was empty, and he didn't know when the people from other villages left.

The entrance of the village suddenly returned to its original state, and Zhang Xiaochi was still a little unaccustomed to it.

At this moment, the village chief appeared in sight, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily as he looked at the empty campsite.

"Let's go."

"Good morning, village chief."

Zhang Xiaochi greeted the village chief with a smile, and the latter also hurriedly returned the salute.

"Xiaochi, if we had believed you earlier, such a major accident would not have happened."

"Village chief, this is all in the past, don't worry about it."

Zhang Xiaochi comforted.

The village chief looked up at Zhang Xiaochi, sighed, and said slowly.

"Xiaochi, I'm going to help deal with Ajuan's mother's funeral, so I won't accompany you."

"It's okay, the village chief doesn't have to worry about me."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly.

In Wagang Village in the past, someone in the village died, because they were poor, everything would be simple, but now everyone has a little money in their pockets, Ajuan's father didn't want his daughter-in-law to go too sloppy, so he decided to spend five taels of silver to organize a funeral.

Although the two families have grievances, the deceased is gone, and on the day of Ajuan's mother's funeral, he went to put on a stick of incense.

As for Ajuan, after witnessing her mother being bitten to death up close, she went completely crazy, and even laughed and played in the mourning hall on the day of her mother's funeral.

Time passed, and soon it was the third day after the tiger hurt people, after two days to calm down, coupled with the psychological counseling that Zhang Xiaochi gave to Lin Xiaoxi from time to time, Lin Xiaoxi finally got out of the predicament.

In order to make Lin Xiaoxi feel more relaxed, he took her to Qingwa Town.

"Xiaoxi, your clothes are too old, let's go get a new one."

"Husband, no need, I can still wear the clothes on my body."

Lin Xiaoxi grabbed Zhang Xiaochi's arm and didn't let him spend money for himself.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxi's resolute attitude, Zhang Xiaochi had no choice but to compromise temporarily, visually inspected Lin Xiaoxi's measurements, and secretly wrote it down, and when he found time, he planned to cut it first and then play, so that he didn't have to worry about Lin Xiaoxi being afraid of spending money and not buying new clothes.

"Husband, it seems that the townspeople are not afraid of you anymore?"

Lin Xiaoxi looked at the townspeople who passed by the two, and a bright smile appeared on their beautiful faces.

"Maybe it's because we killed the tiger that people change their opinion of me, right?"

Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly.

As soon as the words fell, someone next to him even took the initiative to greet Zhang Xiaochi, looking a little familiar, and thinking about it carefully, the person who greeted him seemed to have seen it in the hunting team of Wagang Village.

That's a good sign.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaochi wanted to open a restaurant and set up a stall to test the water, but no one took care of his business except for the trust he hired, which is the reason for his poor character.

It's going to be another person, using the same marketing methods, not to mention the booming business, but it's not far off, after all, the craftsmanship is there.

"Xiaoxi, where do you think the best store lot in our town?"

Zhang Xiaochi suddenly asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxi looked around, and then said slowly.

"I think the location of Renhe Restaurant is very good."

"Husband, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Hehe, of course I'm opening my own restaurant."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, he now has more than six hundred taels of silver in deposit, which is enough for him to rent a floor in the town to open a restaurant.

"But Renhe and the restaurant won't let it open for us."

"It's okay, let's open opposite Renhe Restaurant."

Zhang Xiaochi replied calmly.

When he set up a stall at the entrance of Renhe Restaurant, he found that the business of the shop directly opposite the restaurant had been very bleak, so there was still a lot of hope for opening a restaurant.

"Husband, let's go and have a look first, shall we?"

"Okay."

Zhang Xiaochi nodded, and was about to go to the field with Lin Xiaoxi, but Yu Guang found that Wu Xiong lowered his head and walked listlessly towards this side.

"Xiaoxi, wait a minute, Wu Xiong is here."

Zhang Xiaochi had already told Lin Xiaoxi about Wu Xiong's surrender, and at this time, seeing Wu Xiong appear, Lin Xiaoxi was no longer afraid.

"Angkor, why are you downcast?"

Zhang Xiaochi stopped Wu Xiong, who was hurrying with his head down.

Wu Xiong raised his head violently and saw that it was Zhang Xiaochi, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Brother Zhang, after you reminded me that day, I hurried back in a hurry, but I was still a step late!"

"Li Yongfu, that bastard, took advantage of my absence in the town to lead people to sneak attack, snatch the tiger and dedicate it to the big man."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiong, a rough old man, almost crushed a mouthful of teeth.

Zhang Xiaochi sighed, Wu Xiong was careless.

"Do you know who this big guy is?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked.

"It's the county master of our county, and now this county master is in the yamen of our town."

"Li Yongfu used a tiger to curry favor with the county magistrate, and their officials and businessmen colluded to persecute me, and my butcher shop has been seized by the government."

Wu Xiong gritted his teeth to explain, especially thinking that this glory originally belonged to him, but was snatched away by his old opponent, and his heart became even more angry.

"Angkor, don't be angry, it's your body that hurts when you're angry."

"As long as people are still there, there is a chance to make a comeback."

Zhang Xiaochi comforted.

But who knows, Wu Xiong actually laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Brother Zhang, this game, after all, I lost, according to my agreement with him, whoever loses can only leave Qingwa Town."

"Are you really leaving?"

"Yes, if I don't leave, spreading the word will only affect the reputation of the family, and when the time comes, Li Yongfu's family will also take the opportunity to slander my family."

"So, I had to keep my promise."

Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Xiaochi's mouth twitched continuously, Wu Xiong, who controls the pork trading market in Qingwa Town, actually has a big family behind him, and listening to the meaning of his words, his family strength seems to be not ordinary.
