Chapter 1847 Greed was something he learned from his father.

Shu Yu almost burst out laughing. After Chen He finished speaking, he pulled the shop assistant into the shop, closed the two doors in front of him, and went to solve his problem.

The onlookers outside looked at each other in disbelief, stunned by the two men's outrageous actions.

What a load of nonsense! They argued for ages until their heads ached, and then they went back without even getting a result.

They couldn't even get a complete picture of what was going on; isn't that going too far?

The woman next to Shu Yu sighed and said regretfully, "This is so boring. I wanted to see who was in the wrong. Let's go home and cook."

The others shook their heads and turned to leave.

Shu Yu and the old lady exchanged a glance. Although they wouldn't be able to watch the excitement, they knew Chen He was back, so they couldn't just miss out. Getting news about Chen Bing from him was the most direct way.

Just as Shu Yu was about to step forward, she saw Lu Sanzhu, who had disappeared earlier, return with an excited look on his face and a satisfied expression after finishing his melon. He jumped in front of them.

"Mother, Ayu, do you know what I just found out?"

"What?" The old lady pointed to the closed door of the grocery store in front of her and asked, "Did you find out who was right and who was wrong?"

"Hey, I actually found out. I'm a well-known informant, even A-Yu acknowledged me."

Shu Yu, “…” When did she ever admit it?

As Lu Sanzhu spoke, he looked around and realized this wasn't the place to talk, so he helped the old lady back onto the carriage and then hurriedly climbed up himself.

“Mother, didn’t I come over first? Then I found a woman who seemed to know the whole story and asked her for information. Sure enough, that woman was the proprietress of the shop next to the general store. She told me that Chen He had argued with the shop assistant in the backyard of the shop.”

"That guy did sneakily embezzle some small items while the boss was away. He thought he wouldn't be caught, but Chen He is the kind of person who wouldn't even let someone have a cup of tea. He checked the accounts for two months in just one day and he found out. So he got the idea to make the guy pay more so that he could have some money for himself."

Shu You asked curiously, "More compensation? How much?"

Lu Sanzhu made a gesture, "This kid is very greedy, demanding compensation of ten times the amount."

Tsk tsk, ten times! Based on what the waiter embezzled, he'll have to pay three taels of silver in compensation.

For the worker, that was four months' wages.

"The guy refused, and the two started arguing. They started arguing in the yard, but it got escalating. Eventually, they started fighting, pushing and shoving each other all the way to the doorway, where everyone saw them."

The shop assistant refused to admit to embezzling, otherwise who would dare hire him in the future? Chen He insisted that at least two taels of silver worth of goods were missing from the house and demanded compensation. Neither of them would give in, and that's how things ended up like this.

The old lady suddenly realized, "No wonder neither of them wanted to see the official."

They're all incredibly greedy; in their situation, they'd get beaten up even if they met with an official.

Lu Sanzhu chuckled, "Mother, I've also heard something else. This Chen He, now trying to take a bite out of the workers, is just like his father. I heard that his father did the same thing more than two months ago."
