Chapter 164: Hard Performance

"Bang, what's wrong with you? You are so sarcastic when I ask you questions. You don't even know where the boss has gone. What use are you?" Su He slammed the table and scolded.

After all, I am a young lady from an official family in Chang'an. How can I not deal with a stinky waiter like you from a wild land?

The clerk looked at Su He intently and was sure that this was not the Miss Su that the shopkeeper Zhu and the boss were talking about!

Zhu, as the shopkeeper and the boss call her, is a knowledgeable, humorous, and polite person. She is definitely not the kind of unreasonable and shallow person.

"Where our boss goes and what he does has nothing to do with others, and it's not something we, the waiters, should know." The waiter said in a cold tone.

"You dog slave, I ask you one question and you answer ten! You have no respect for superiors or subordinates! The Hu family is so kind that they kept a dog slave like you! I should have sent you away long ago! How could Mr. Hu be so confused?" Su He said arrogantly.

"You are so unreasonable, girl! Who do you think you are to be so bossy in the Hu family?" The guy was so angry that he laughed instead of getting angry. Where did this crazy woman come from?

"Rebellion, rebellion! When we meet Mr. Hu Erlang, we must drive away this dog slave!" Su He's voice was sharp, as if she was still the young lady of the Su family in Chang'an.

"Who is making such a fuss here?" A woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Madam!" The waiter hurried out to greet her.

A beautiful woman in her forties came in, holding the hand of a maid. Her clothes were not very luxurious, but they were the first of their kind in Wu County.

Her clothes were not as complicated as those of ordinary noble ladies, and she did not wear many head ornaments. She looked smart and neat, with a smile on her face, but also aloof.

Su He and Xiao Qin stood up. Although they looked down on the county magistrates below the ninth rank in the wild land, County Magistrate Hu was the boss here.

Mrs. Hu took the main seat, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. She looked at the mother and daughter for a long time before slowly speaking, "You two are..."

"Madam, they are from Heifeng Township and their surname is Su..." the waiter said hurriedly.

When he looked up and saw the lady's cold eyes, he quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

"My dear madam! I am from the Su family in Heifeng Township." Su He said vaguely.

"Oh, the Su family in Heifeng Township? May I ask your maiden name?" Mrs. Hu looked at Su He with a smile.

"My name is Su, Su, Su He!" Su He said with determination.

No matter how courageous one is, one knows the consequences of having one's lie exposed and angering the head of the Hu family.

I'm here to curry favor with someone, not to seek death.

The guys can be fooled, but the head of the family dare not. Besides, this is Hu Erlang's mother. Even if he can't meet Hu Erlang, it would be nice to get to know his mother.

"You! You are not Miss Su!" the guy exclaimed. This Miss Su is not that Miss Su!

Su He rolled his eyes at the guy. "You're just stupid, what does it have to do with me? I didn't say anything!"

"Su He? May I ask what the lady wants from my Erlang?" Mrs. Hu asked indifferently.

"I, I, Mr. Hu Erlang is my friend, I came to see him!" Su He tugged at her worn clothes, trying hard to act like a lady from an official family.

"Erlang's friend?" Mrs. Hu put down her teacup. "I've never heard of him!"

Both my husband and second son mentioned my acquaintance with the Su family.

Magistrate Su is a capable and good official. Now the governor has ordered him to assist her husband in carrying out various reforms in Huanggou Village so that they can be promoted in Wu County and even Wuzhou.

Su Ying, the daughter of the Su family, is the think tank for these matters, and all of them come from her brilliant ideas.

Mrs. Hu was a bold woman, otherwise she would not have managed the shop herself. She had a good impression of Su Ying and admired her in her heart, but she had so many affairs to deal with every day that she never had the chance to go out and visit her.

Birds of a feather flock together. Before even entering the door, Mrs. Hu felt disgusted when she heard Su He shouting.

When she saw Su He and her daughter, Mrs. Hu frowned unconsciously.

A fugitive dressed in rags and full of petty ideas dared to come to his territory and act like a big boss. Who gave her the confidence and courage?

"Huh!" Su He didn't expect that Mrs. Hu was not easy to fool.

He said half-truthfully, "My sister is friends with Mr. Hu Erlang. Mr. Hu and Mr. Hu Erlang came to my house last time. I came this time to visit Mr. Hu Erlang on behalf of my sister."

The guy's eyes widened in shock, and he pointed at Su He with a trembling finger, "You liar!"

Then he said to Madam Hu, "Madam, be careful, there is a scam. Report it to the authorities immediately!"

"Who's the liar?" Su He said in panic, "We came to the county town today to visit Mr. Hu and say hello on behalf of my sister! Don't be so ungrateful!"

"Bah! You are definitely a liar!" The guy became more certain.

Mrs. Hu drank her tea in silence and glanced at the door.

"Madam, don't listen to his nonsense. This guy is incompetent and doesn't even know where the boss is. Such a guy should be sent away long ago!" Su He said to Madam Hu.

He didn't notice that the woman at the door had disappeared silently.

"Forget it, Ah He, since Madam doesn't believe it, let's just go!" Xiao Qin was panicking and had a bad premonition, so she went to pull Su He.

"Mother! Don't interrupt!" Su He pushed Xiao Qin away.

She was trying to sell Mrs. Hu some sweet talk. As long as Mrs. Hu agreed, she could get into the Hu family and leave the Feng family, that hellhole.

If she can fool him well, maybe she can even marry Hu Erlang.

"Madam, I'm glad I discovered it early. No matter how wealthy the Hu family is, they shouldn't keep such a useless slave!"

"You! You're a mad dog!" The guy was so angry that he almost died. He had attracted a wolf to himself. Did he have a grudge against her in his past life? She came here specifically to destroy his job.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Madam, please understand! I have been working diligently in this shop for three or four years, without slacking off for even a moment!"

My family depends on my income to make ends meet. The grocery store is becoming increasingly sluggish and has laid off employees several times, but I have managed to stay by being diligent, attentive and sweet-talking.

Now the grocery store is getting bigger and bigger, and I have become a small manager, but I happened to meet this strange girl. The guy feels so miserable!

I shouldn't have invited people to the backyard for reception without asking clearly, which brought trouble to myself.

"Madam! You shouldn't let such a slave stay! I've seen it all! Our Su family never keeps such lazy and stupid slaves!"

Su He unconsciously put on her identity as a young lady from an official family and taught Mrs. Hu in a teaching tone.

Mrs. Hu drank her tea quietly and watched Su He perform hard.

Mrs. Hu, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, guessed that this person was a person who was using a tiger's skin as a banner to ask for something from the Hu family. He was a little clever, but unfortunately he had evil intentions.

In order to achieve their goals, they will not hesitate to use others as stepping stones.

If you really get involved with this kind of person, you won’t even know how the Hu family will die one day.

For her own selfish desires, she can use any means to destroy anyone who stands in her way.

"He'er, let's go! It's getting late!" Xiao Qin pulled Su He again.

It was obvious that Mrs. Hu did not believe them, but she did not expose them, which made Xiao Qinshi feel more and more uneasy and fearful.

"You bitch! I have no grudge against you in the past or in the present, so why are you trying to kill me like this?"

The guy was so angry that his eyes turned red and his fists were clenched, wishing he could beat the mad dog to death with one punch.

"I'm cleaning up the Hu family! Why don't I kick out a sneaky, cunning slave like you as soon as possible? Why keep you here to support me in my old age?"

Seeing that Mrs. Hu did not speak to stop her, Su He assumed that she was tacitly approving and became even more arrogant.
