Chapter Twenty-Four: Guests Making Trouble
I believe that Grandpa Xianyu will not harm me, it must be that he is too old to take care of me.
Lu Cheng was impatient: Lu Shang, bring your wife back.
Xiaoguan, you still listen to the eldest brother, he has been an official for 20 years, and he has not done anything wrong, he is for us, why are you still arguing with him.
Your brothers all speak the same, and they have wronged people for no reason, so if you say this, I will do the same?
Third, what do you want, what else do you say, hurry up and bring it back.
I have never been convinced by Lu Cheng, he is the best at putting on a show, and he thinks at every turn that I should be a gentle and lovely woman worthy of his third brother, and he can pretend the most.
Say, Grandpa Xianyu is so old, can it hurt me? It's not good for him to hurt me. There's no reason why he shouldn't. We have been in the fish business for so long, and we get along with the same relatives, you can know that he is not a bad person when you look at him, I am twenty-seven years old, can I still not tell the good from the bad? Do you think I don't know what to do?
Yes, of course you feel to, because you know that he conspires with Bright Brown.
I also think that the heart of defense is indispensable, but I am still willing to choose to believe that the taste of being wronged is not good!
I'll accompany you to see Grandpa Fresh Fish.
Lu Shang said this, I heard what he meant, I said: Since you don't believe it, then I won't cooperate with him, and Wenxin Inn will not make fish in the future, you are satisfied.
What's wrong with you, isn't the monthly letter coming soon?
It's been here!
The human heart is unpredictable, and no one can easily believe it. Lu Shang hugged me: Go with Xianggong, ask, ask and rest assured, okay, Xianggong will take you out to play, skating, skiing, ah, okay?
Your feet are not good, what is slippery, you like to go, I won't stop you, but if Grandpa Fresh Fish no longer supplies fish because of this, I will not be finished with you.
When we were talking, you see, at the door, Qiu Yu listened to all of this.
He's a kid, he can't be the master himself, of course he has to find Xianyan, so, what does Xianyan say? Don't worry, you'll know right away.
Lu Shang couldn't persuade me, so he had to go by himself, but you knew before he arrived that Grandpa Xianyu was not there, and it was Xianyan who asked him to leave, and he didn't go far, just watching the play in the theater building opposite, and it was Xianyan who was sitting next to him.
As soon as he entered the door, the guy told Lu Shang that he had returned to his hometown and would have to come back in a few days.
I'm not looking for Grandpa Fresh Fish, I'm looking for you.
Looking for me?
Lu Shang took out a piece of silver: What do I ask you, you have to tell the truth, this silver is yours.
Do you think that the guy has opened his eyes to the money and explained everything?
It's not that easy.
Do you think he seriously refused?
Nor did it.
He said: If you ask me, my answer is that Grandpa Xianyu does not allow me to accept money other than selling fish.
Did anyone else come to buy fish yesterday?
I'm not there, I don't know.
Can you bring me the ledger and check it out?
Cannot.
So, can you drink saliva?
You wait a moment.
Then, as you guessed, my husband searched all the way, but I didn't find it, and I was found by the guy, and I was chased half a street by a dog, but fortunately the alley can escape.
I listened to him, and then looked at his robe that was chased by a dog and scraped by a branch, and laughed unkindly.
He looked at me seriously: Xiaoguan, you haven't smiled so happily for a long time.
If that's okay, I can keep smiling, and then, he's wrong.
Ever since you opened the inn......
Stop!
You must want me to say that, too, because you don't want to see us fight over it.
Take it off, and I'll make it up for you.
We were now in the living room, so while I was mending my clothes, the servants came and went, and Zhang Lulu also saw me and came over.
Green, sit.
I want to go home.
I put down my robe and took her hand: I'm sorry, Lulu, I have done a lot of things, and I have neglected you. Then, whatever you want to eat at night, I'll make it for you. Don't leave me, okay. We girls are all married to other places, only you come back, you are gone, I have no friends here, you will stay with me for a few more days, ah, okay.
That's not the case, Xiaoguan, I'm good at eating and living in your house, but I'm not used to it, unless, you move to the inn with me, and I'll stay with you for two days.
How can I let you stay in the inn, it's better to go home, but I can't bear you, is it the next time we meet, you will have a baby?
You and I go home together, the best of both worlds.
You're beautiful, I'm not done yet. I sighed heavily and mended my clothes. But I found that I couldn't wear it out when I made it up, so I changed it to a cotton jacket and made socks from the leftover materials, so I didn't waste it at all.
I'll live my life!
I was about to put on my jacket to see if it fits, and Qiu Yu came back.
Why don't you learn to make donkey glue?
Come with me.
I still had a needle hanging from my jacket, so he pulled me and ran to the inn.
You say, how can a son run away with his mother like this?
I was about to teach him a few words, when you saw that suddenly a pot of flowers was thrown down from the third floor of the inn, and before I could open my mouth, I was held by Qiu Yu and flashed aside, and the flower pot shattered next to me.
Qiuyu let go of me and let me look up.
The man had closed the window.
The layout of the inn was designed by me and I know which room it is, but some of the guests blocked me on the first floor.
My daughter hasn't slept all night, you go home and sleep peacefully, ah, what do you think.
My dad is eighty years old, so he tossed so much that he almost died!
My mother is pregnant......
How can your wife be pregnant?
Trying to get pregnant, can't you? Who are you with, girl?
My husband will take me to play tomorrow, this time it's good, if I can't go, you can tell me, what to do.
They chirp like swallows.
Probably that means, I didn't go to the hospital to see them, and also, compensation, treatment, didn't make a business, all the losses.
I patiently explained that I didn't go to see it because I didn't want to bother, I had to wait two hours for the medicine this morning, and I would pay for the treatment, but this was only because in my inn, eating fish and diarrhea had nothing to do with me.
But, you understand, they don't understand, and my head is big when I chirp crookedly.
You also heard, how patient I am, right, they accuse me like this, I am not in a hurry, and I am willing to contribute money, people, and efforts, and it is not the case that I am responsible for this, and there is no result, I have become the target of public criticism, you say, why do I always get into trouble.
It's good to say, I finally left, it's just a sign and a pledge, I must compensate, and I proposed to go to the hospital, but they didn't agree, what to say, look at my anger, the disease is getting better.
Anyway, the roots of my ears are clean, so I'll wait for the ointment to be absorbed, and go to the inn to have a look.
Qiu Yu poured water for me, looking very respectful, mother, please drink water.
My son is so good.
But I didn't dare touch his head.
The taste of rejection is actually unpleasant.
This child, who rejects people thousands of miles away, will not accept my maternal love in a short period of time. Actually, to be honest, I don't know how to be a mother.
Son, sit down.
I have to go to the inn, mother, drink more water, he walked out after speaking.
Hey, Xiaoyu, don't you make donkey glue?
You see that he actually hears his face, but he doesn't come back.
You followed him with your eyes, and when you reached the inn, on the second floor, the bright color of the old woman with a wrinkled face called him into the house in an old voice.
Will this make her lose guests?
Do you know what the inn is most afraid of? It's not that new customers don't arrive, but old customers don't return, and we have to make her new and old customers lose trust in her. This little thing didn't affect her. She involves two lives, which is a well-known thing. On that day, everyone heard that she had been acquitted. But, in your opinion, how many people think she is innocent?
What do you want?
She's a repeat murderer, heartbroken, poisonous bones, and next time, what will she do?
What the hell are you going to do?
Don't be nervous, I won't blame her, so how can I stay in the Lu family, I'm going to do that......
She said carefully, in fact, she was looking for the most unreasonable patient to pretend to be unconscious, and then another eyewitness saw that it was me, and then one person proved that the eyewitness was wrong, so even though it was an oolong, the inn was not safe, and the time was chosen for me to visit the patient.
I walked out of the infirmary, got into the carriage, and had a safe journey, but I was apprehensive, and asked the coachman to stop at the inn, and the man who had mistaken me saw me and said, "This guest officer, please go elsewhere, we are closed."
This time, Li Cheng is not here, and I can only say his words.
I don't have long eyes, I'm the shopkeeper.
Our shopkeeper is not like you, go quickly, don't look for trouble.
You can see that he deliberately didn't recognize it.
I went in spite of the obstacles, and a boy who had been left here with a slight illness was dying in bed, and his sister saw me and accused me of instructing her brother to beat her brother because I was unwilling to pay compensation.
Which guy? I suspect someone is fake. I asked the marquis to find him and confront him face to face.
Your guy almost killed my brother, look at it, she dragged me while talking, Li Cheng stopped and scolded, so she was even more persistent, crying dad and calling mother, and asking me to kowtow to his brother to make amends.
The trouble is not because there are too many people, but because of the influence and speed of transmission.
The doors and windows of this room are open, and on the first floor, people from the nearby shops, restaurants, and tea shops come to watch the excitement.
Next, eyewitnesses appeared and proved that I was waiting for the results outside the inn, and I had a nose and an eye for what I said, and if you were listening to it for the first time, you would have believed it.
I listened to everyone's discussions, but I didn't know how to explain it, and I didn't bother to explain it, if I could prove my innocence by explaining, then I didn't need to investigate the case.
But soon, it turned out that this was an oolong man who hit the carriage on the road and couldn't come.
You don't think that if he can't come, I'll be safe, because the guy who hit his head just now, is gone.
His newlywed wife and Lang Zhong came to let me go over, my wife didn't make a big noise, just cried, her crying voice was so small, I felt uncomfortable, it was better to make a fuss.
What are you going to do, your man is gone, my brother is still there, Wen Guan, you have to take care of it!
Tell me, which one has to do with me, and why should I care, but can I walk away?
The deceased was the greatest, so I decided to go and see it, and asked the bookkeeper to give her some silver taels, but she didn't see the money and didn't stop me.
However, another person stopped me.
