Dabao didn't say anything more, and Li Yi next to him suddenly stopped talking as well.

Xu Miaomiao, who had been silent the whole time, also raised her head, looked at the two of them, and then spoke: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now. We can't talk about the restaurant's dishes either. Let's stop here today."

After saying this, Xu Miaomiao fumbled to take out the measure of silver, put it on the table, then turned and left.

Dabao behind him also followed, but Li Yi was the only one who was in a bad mood. He stared at the shopkeeper opposite for a long time, sighed, and then slowly left.

Seeing that everyone had left, the shopkeeper picked up the silver on the table, smiled slightly, looked at the direction where they left, as if he didn't care at all, and turned around to count the silver happily.

After coming out with Xu Miaomiao, Li Yi couldn't help but feel angry. He stood beside Xu Miaomiao and said with doubt in his heart, "Master, it's obviously their problem. Why didn't you point it out directly?"

Xu Miaomiao did not answer Li Yi for a moment. Instead, Dabao patted Li Yi on the side and said, "If we just reveal our identities, even if we have reasons, what can we say? After all, what that person said is right. If he really feels sorry for these old and weak people, so he deliberately cooperates with these people, even if we have reasons, there is no way to distinguish one thing from him."

"If we find you, will we just let this matter go? Will we just let them bully these customers? If that's the case, how can we keep this restaurant going in the future?"

"Of course not."

Dabao immediately refuted what Li Yi said, and continued to speak as he looked at him: "If we want to expose them, of course we have to find evidence. Now my mother must also want evidence. If they really pity those old people, although their attitude is wrong, they are indeed doing good things, and we can't say anything. But if they just take this name and start using some rotten vegetable leaves, of course we can't let them go."

"Right, mother."

After saying this, Dabao immediately looked at Xu Miaomiao next to him. Xu Miaomiao nodded, which was considered as an answer to Dabao. Only then did Li Yi on the side understand something.

Xu Miaomiao said, "There's really no need to investigate. If they are really helping these elderly people, then we don't mind if we suffer a loss. What we are most afraid of is that they are not helping them and are using this to gain sympathy from others. We naturally cannot tolerate that."

Li Yi understood something and nodded at the two of them.

Follow Xu Miaomiao and Dabao to the water's edge.

When she came to the water's edge of Wangjia Village again, Xu Miaomiao still felt a little dazed. She thought back to when she first came here. The feeling of suffocation in the water at that time was still hard to forget.

"Master, what are you thinking about?"

Li Yi stood by the river and waved to Xu Miaomiao. Only then did Xu Miaomiao come out of her memory and responded to Li Yi with a smile.

As they walked towards them, it was almost snowing, but there were still a few boats floating on the river.

"Boatman, boatman!"

Dabao called out to a place not far away, and the boatman came over immediately: "Are you here to buy fish?"

The person who spoke was an old man with a big gray beard, and he looked very old.

Xu Miaomiao nodded, looked at the fisherman opposite and said, "I remember that no one came here to fish before. Besides, there are not many fish in this river. I don't know why the old man came here."

After listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, the old man put down the fish basket in his hand, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "I think this lady is also from Wangjia Village. It was indeed good that no one came here to fish before, but it's a pity that now it is not the same as before. Business is not good this year, and the crops in the fields are not growing well. If we don't think of a solution, I'm afraid we will starve to death in winter. We are not from Wangjia Village, unlike them, who actually have kind people like Madam Xu. We can only live like this."

"Where is the old man from?"

Xu Miaomiao didn't give up and asked another question immediately.

The old man pointed to the nearby village and said, "We are all from Mi Village. These old friends of mine came out to fish with me to supplement our family income."

"I see."

Xu Miaomiao nodded.

Li Yi, who was standing by, looked at the old man and asked, "Are there many people buying fish from you?"

"Not much. There are only small fish in the river. They are not valuable. Besides, we don't catch many fish. We can't buy them for much money."

"How much does the old man's fish usually cost?"

"Usually it's only a few coins, but it hasn't come yet. However, I have discussed with the owner of a shop in Bai County and sent fish to him, so there are quite a lot of fish now."

"I see."

Xu Miaomiao responded. Now she finally understood what was going on. Seeing that the old man was already very old, she asked Dabao to buy all the remaining fish.

"Master, even if what the shopkeeper said is true, this fish only costs a few cents. Even if that's the case, it's too outrageous. How could it be so expensive on the menu?"

Xu Miaomiao was silent for a moment after listening to Li Yi's words, and chewed over these words in his mind for a long time. Then he looked at Li Yi and said, "I'm afraid it has been like this for a long time. He buys fish at a low price, but can sell them at a good price. However, the quoted price and the purchase price in the account book remain unchanged. How much money do you think this shopkeeper has made?"

Listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, Li Yi clenched his fist unconsciously: "This is really too much. How dare you do such a thing, using the elderly to gain sympathy, but actually making money without any conscience. Seriously, this is really outrageous."

Dabao listened to what they said, patted Li Yi on the shoulder, and signaled him not to be impulsive.

Xu Miaomiao didn't say much. Now that the matter of the fish was understood, it was time to see what the matter with the dish was.

As soon as she reached the gate of Wangjia Village, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but stop. She had never been a nostalgic person, but the house in Wangjia Village was the first place she lived after coming here, so when she saw this place, she couldn't help but have some thoughts in her heart. Li Yi and Dabao behind her also stopped where Xu Miaomiao was.

Li Yi also had some memories of this place. He recalled that Xu Miaomiao decided to accept him as her apprentice here, but later he could never go back.

Looking at the two's appearance, Dabao's eyes became colder and colder. He had heard all these things from Erbao. The house was burned down by fire. The people here are really powerful.
