Chapter 1851 Tomorrow we'll beat that old beast

Lu Sanzhu huffed and puffed as he boarded the carriage, took a few big gulps of water from his water pouch, and waited until the carriage started moving toward the escort agency before squinting and saying, "I just borrowed the landlady's backyard, climbed up their tree, and sat on it to watch and listen to the whole thing."

The person inside the carriage, "..."

Is that why you came back so late?

However, none of that matters. The old lady and the others are also quite concerned about the Chen family's future.

"Tell me quickly, how did they resolve it in the end? Did they pay compensation?"

Lu Sanzhu nodded, "He'll pay. Those two argued for a long time, neither willing to suffer a loss. But it's a fact that this guy embezzled. If he hadn't been caught, he could have gotten away with it, but now that it's been discovered, he definitely has to compensate. It's just that ten times is really too much. Where would he come up with that?"

"Later, when they couldn't reach a conclusion, Chen He made him pay five times the amount in compensation, which meant that the worker had worked for Chen's family for free for the past two months without receiving a single penny of wages."

The man still wouldn't have it, and after a long argument, it finally ended with him paying three times the amount in compensation.

Although Chen He was unwilling, he could at least keep a little bit for himself.

So the guy paid the money and walked away grumbling.

Lu Sanzhu said, "I reckon this guy won't let it go so easily. Judging from his attitude, he'll definitely take revenge on Chen's General Store later."

The old lady thought so too; a dishonest waiter's character was evident, and he wasn't the type to suffer losses.

Lu Sanzhu said, “Not only do I think so, but Chen He also thinks so. So he told his wife, who arrived later, that the shop would be temporarily closed starting tomorrow, and they would rest for a few days. They would go back to the prefectural city for a few days.”

He clicked his tongue in disapproval, "What's wrong with Chen He's brain? The grocery store business is already so bad, the clerk was just fired, and instead of thinking of personally overseeing the store and hiring a new clerk, he's thinking of closing it down. Every day the store is closed means losing money for those days. Is he stupid?"

Shu Yu leaned against the carriage wall and said coolly, "He's not stupid. He must be able to get more benefits in the prefectural city. Otherwise, why would the whole Chen family stay in the prefectural city and not come back? Chen He finally came back, but after only one day, he rushed back again?"

I don't know exactly what the profit is, but it's definitely much higher than running a small grocery store for a few days.

Upon hearing this, the old lady clapped her hands together fiercely, "That's perfect! Isn't he going to the prefectural city tomorrow? Let's go with him, that way we can find Chen Bing and give him a good beating."

The old lady was very excited. She didn't expect to be so lucky. She arrived on the first day, reunited with her sister on the second day, and was able to beat up that old beast Chen Bing on the third day.

Lu Sanzhu, who was listening nearby, also agreed, "Yes, I'll call a few more people... no, Ying Dong and Ying Xi are enough, they can take on ten people each."

The mother and son became more and more excited as they talked, and slowly they began to talk about the weapons they were good at.

By the time the carriage was about to arrive at the escort agency, Chen Bing was already dead to the two men.

Shu Yu chuckled, rubbing her forehead, "Grandma, you found Chen Bing, and you're just planning to give him a good beating and that's it?"

The old lady was taken aback, then frowned.

Yes, what else can they do besides beat someone up?

Just like when she brought her son to storm the Ruan family's door, didn't that old woman from the Ruan family live a carefree life for the next ten years or so?
