Chapter 794 Useless Dandy

The group went to Li's house in a grand manner.

Coincidentally, Li Jinyuan went to inspect the farm below, and only Liu Wanru was in the mansion.

When she learned that people from Li Qi's shop came to her house to ask for their wages, she felt her scalp tingling and fell back suddenly. If the maid beside her had not reached out to support her, she would have fallen down.

"These ungrateful people, hurry to the county government office and ask the officials to come over.

Put them all in jail."

The gatekeeper who came to report was in a difficult situation. The current county magistrate was no longer a relative of the Li family, so it would be difficult to do things.

Seeing that man still standing there in a daze, Liu Wanru pointed at him angrily, "What? Are you guys going to rebel too?"

"I dare not, but..."

"Just what? If you have something to say, just say it quickly. No one of them is worry-free."

"It's just that the current magistrate is no longer your brother-in-law.

Also, if this matter today really gets brought to the county government office, we will be in the wrong.

I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the Li Mansion!"

Liu Wanru slammed the table and said, "You are thinking about the Li family, so what do you think we should do about this?"

"I think Madam should go out and take a look."

"There's no way I'm going to talk to those ungrateful people."

“The boys had no choice but to let them make a scene at the door.

Once the government officials come, things will get even more lively.”

Liu Wanru wished she could faint right now so that she wouldn’t have to help Li Qi clean up the mess.

The housekeeper came running over breathlessly, "Madam, more and more people are gathering at the gate of our house."

Liu Wanru gnashed her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do. She could only anxiously ask, "Have you gone to look for the young master?"

The housekeeper shook his head in embarrassment, "I looked for him, but I couldn't find him."

"This evil creature."

"Madam, if the masters of our house don't go out and appease them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain this matter.

I've already sent people to ask, and it's true that the people working in the hotpot shop haven't been paid for three months.

They are all families with elderly parents and young children, and life is not easy for them.

Actually, there isn't much money, so I think it would be better for Madam to agree to their request today."

"It's really a bargain for them. My Li family can't afford such a large sum of money!

They don't give us any face at all!

Butler Li, I'm going to go out with you to settle the matter of their wages.

After a while, you can take the silver and pay them their wages.

Remember, as long as those people come to the mansion to cause trouble, our Li family will never use them again."

After receiving their wages, the people at Li's Hotpot Shop all smiled happily.

When Butler Li told them that the Li family would never employ them in the future.

These people didn't even look at me. Even if they were given another chance to choose, they would never come to work for the Li family.

If they had known earlier, they would have gone to any hotpot restaurant.

However, no one has foresight, so they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

It was two days later that Li Qi was found by Liu Wanru.

Li Jinyuan also came back. After learning about this incident, his first words were that the reputation that the Li family had accumulated in Shunhe County over the years might have been ruined by this incident.

Liu Wanru covered her chest and glared at Li Jinyuan, "What do you mean by that?

You are disgusted with me for not handling it well."

Li Jinyuan ignored Liu Wanru. He sat on the chair waiting for Li Qi and waiting for his explanation.

Li Qi was supported by Xiao Liu and came in. Besides the smell of alcohol, he also smelled of rouge and powder.

Liu Wanru covered her nose and Li Jinyuan frowned. He asked the servants to bring a basin of cold water and poured it directly over her.

Li Qi was instantly awakened by the water.

Liu Wanru glared at Li Jinyuan, disliking his rude actions and his disregard for Li Qi's life or death.

Li Jinyuan pretended not to notice Liu Wanru's look. He pointed at the trembling Li Qi and asked, "Are you going to give us an explanation about the hot pot shop incident?"

"Dad, you are being unreasonable. You are a bunch of ungrateful people, acting as if our family is short of that little money.

The poor business of the shop is their fault.

What's wrong with me not paying them?"

"Listen to what this evil creature is saying.

What did she do when Yingyue was the housekeeper?

Even if you just learned a little bit from your sister, you wouldn't end up causing such a mess that your mother and I would have to follow you around and clean up the mess every day."

Li Qi, who was lying on the ground pretending to be pitiful, suddenly got up from the ground and said, "If you think your daughter is good, don't let her get married!

Let her die of old age in our Li family, so that there will be someone to take care of our family business.

Humph, it's a pity that it didn't go as you wished. She got married, and I, your disappointing son, had to help take care of her. "

After saying this, Li Qi shook his sleeves and walked out.

Li Jinyuan pointed at Liu Wanru and said, "Look at this son you spoiled, what has he become?"

Liu Wanru glared at Li Jinyuan unconvincedly, "You're still blaming me, you've poured a basin of cold water on him, and he's lost all his dignity."

"Nowadays, what face does our Li family have left?

I tell you, from now on, I will no longer care about Li Qi's affairs.

Anyway, I don't plan to make any money from the shop as long as I hand it over to him.

Even if he sold it, I wouldn't feel bad.

Again, is there any difference between this company failing early and failing later?"

Li Jinyuan went to the study in a huff.

Liu Wanru sat on the chair for a while and then went to Li Qi's yard.

Li Qi was catching up on his sleep. When he saw that the person coming was Liu Wanru, he opened his eyelids impatiently and said, "Mom, what are you doing here again?"

I'm already annoyed enough, can't you just leave me alone?"

"Your father just poured a bucket of cold water on you. I came to check on you. I'm worried about you!"

"What's there to worry about? You're such a grown-up.

Besides, your son is good in every way except that he is not as smart as your daughter!"

“You don’t have to take your father’s words to heart.

Ultimately, this home is yours."

"Mom, you've said this so many times, I'm tired of it even if you're not.

Since I was a child, you have always said that this house will be mine sooner or later.

I'm tired of studying, you said. I'm gaining experience in the shop, you said.

After all, this sentence took root in my heart.

This has led to me achieving nothing so far."

"Don't be discouraged, just take it slow."

"Take your time, take your time, do you know what people in the county say about your son?

Useless dandy.

Ha, ha, that’s right, they didn’t wrongly accuse me!

However, this time, I must make everyone look at me with admiration.

I just don’t believe it. I, Li Qi, am really not as good as Li Yingyue.”

Liu Wanru opened her mouth and wanted to say something to comfort Li Qi, but was chased out by Li Qi, "Don't you just want to know about the hot pot shop?

I'll tell you when it's done.

Now I am tired and need to take a nap."
