Chapter 397: Enlightenment



Yan Funing asked, "Uncle, have you ever thought about what his purpose is in coming here today?"

Mrs. He hurried out from the kitchen. "He's so anxious and impulsive, how could he think of anything else?" She immediately pulled her husband aside and said, "Listen to your daughter first!"

Liu Song clenched the stick with both hands: "I just want to vent my anger right away."

Outside the restaurant, Huang Aodong became more and more excited and his curses became more and more unpleasant.

The guys on both sides began to confront each other, as if they could quickly turn into a fight.

Yan Funing gave Li Xinheng and Caiyu a look, and then gently advised: "Uncle, behind Huang Aodong is Fu Zhengqing, the magistrate of Ling County. We are just ordinary people."

Li Xinheng and Caiyu both rolled up their sleeves.

The two men quickly searched the backyard of the restaurant, each took a brick, and rushed out the door.

In the current situation, whoever hits the other person first will be the responsible party.

Considering this, Li Xinheng stood in front of Huang Aodong, pinched both ends of the brick with both hands, and with a snap, the brick cracked into two halves.

He was tall and burly, and just standing there was intimidating.

At this moment, he easily broke the brick into two halves, which scared Huang Aodong so much that he shrank his neck, but he continued to curse.

Caiyu stepped forward and glared at Huang Aodong coldly: "I am a woman, but I am not as good at cursing as you. If you are a man, you have the guts to fight me."

Huang Aodong snorted and laughed: "You want to hit me with a brick? Don't tell me you're a woman, I won't dare to hit you."

"Then do it."

After Caiyu finished speaking, she snapped the bricks open with her hands just like Li Xinheng did.

Everyone present was surprised at the strength of the woman before them.

The big guy could break bricks because he was strong. But the woman before him was young, yet surprisingly strong.

Huang Aodong smacked his lips and said, "I am a good man and I don't fight with evil women."

Caiyu laughed: "You are not a good man at all, at most you are just a loser and a jerk."

"You!" Huang Aodong looked at the Liuji sign and suddenly laughed, "It will be a disaster sooner or later. Let's see how long you can keep your power."

He opened his voice and shouted to Liu Song in the restaurant: "By then, the restaurant will not be worth 500 taels."

Soon, he left with his men, cursing.

The onlookers gradually dispersed.

Inside the restaurant, Yan Funing continued, "Although Fu Zhengqing is only a seventh-rank county magistrate, we are ordinary people." She lowered her voice, "Uncle, think about it carefully. My husband will go to Beijing to take the imperial examination next year. With his knowledge, passing the imperial examination shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Yes, how could I have forgotten Mr. Jie Yuan?"

Liu Song's expression finally relaxed.

Based on Fu Ciyi's knowledge, he will definitely rank well.

Fortunately, it is not far from the Spring Examination.

Besides, they also want to open a branch in Beijing.

"It's just that I couldn't swallow the insults from Huang today." Liu Song slammed the stick into the ground. "Don't worry, my girl. I won't hit anyone again."

Yan Funing signaled Li Xinheng to take the stick away.

"Uncle, aunt, if we really fight today and Huang Aodong gets beaten, Fu Zhengqing will have a reason to close the restaurant."

Liu Song asked, "Dear girl, do you think the Huang guy came here on purpose?"

Yan Funing nodded. "Yes, if Uncle had taken action just now, it would have played into the other party's hands. If Fu Zhengqing had imprisoned Uncle, not only would we not be able to open our branch, but this restaurant would also be closed down, and ultimately fall into Fu Zhengqing's pockets."

Wang Qi agreed: "Yes, after the girl's analysis, Huang's purpose is exactly this."

Liu Song nodded repeatedly, feeling a little scared.

Since my own restaurant is gone, it doesn’t matter if the business is a little worse now.

He patted her husband's arm and said, "You should control your temper."

"Hmm." Liu Song sighed deeply and said to Yan Funing, "My dear, I'm fine now. You can go home with the money first."

Yan Funing was worried about him, so she asked Li Xinheng to go back and keep an eye on the area around the house, while she stayed in the restaurant with Caiyu.

In the evening, Fu Ciyi came over from the school.

As soon as Liu Song saw him, he invited him in and took him all the way to the accounting office.

Fu Ciyi looked at Yan Funing with a puzzled look on his face.

Yan Funing then told him what happened early in the morning.

"I hope Mr. Jie Yuan will definitely pass the exam!" Liu Song said, "I don't want Mr. Jie Yuan to do anything for me, I just want to vent my anger."

He is my daughter's husband. Just based on this relationship, Fu Zhengqing and others will be wary of him next spring.

Fu Ciyi said calmly, "For today's matter, the shopkeeper was right to listen to my wife. The other party is setting a trap."

"It's a trap." Liu Song nodded.

Fu Ciyi added calmly, "The fact that they're so anxious only proves one thing: the Aodong Inn is suffering a huge loss. Financially, it's not that the Yan family can't afford it, but Fu Zhengqing is incredibly stingy. Without any profitable business, he's getting anxious."

Liu Song suddenly realized: "Mr. Jie Yuan's words have enlightened me!"

"Liu Ji's business is just in a downturn right now. As long as we can persevere, we will eventually see the light of day." After a slight pause, Fu Ciyi continued, "My wife is more experienced in business than I am. It's right for the shopkeeper to listen to her."

"I know, I know."

Liu Song nodded and personally brought a food box full of meat from the kitchen to Caiyu.

What the young couple said today was like giving him a reassurance.

After bidding farewell to Liu Song and his wife, Yan Funing returned home with Fu Ciyi.

On the way, Fu Ciyi saw the purse still in Yan Funing's hand, so he asked, "Did you not return the money because someone caused trouble?"

Yan Funing said, "Well, it's OK to pay the monthly salary in the evening."

Caiyu, who was following behind them, said, "The young lady was afraid that the shopkeeper and the waiters would be too impulsive, so she has been watching over the restaurant. Fortunately, Huang Aodong has not come again. Last month, due to the influence of the inn, the young lady received a lot less dividends."

Fu Ciyi said, "It's okay."

Yan Funing was puzzled: "Ah, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter whether you make money or not." Fu Ciyi glanced at her, "I can support you."

Yan Funing lowered her eyes and muttered, "I don't want you to support me."

Fu Ciyi snorted softly: "Yes, you are difficult to raise. You are delicate and cry easily."

"How am I difficult to raise?" Yan Funing grabbed his sleeve. "If you don't provoke me, I won't cry."

"Who was that person who started crying when he got burned earlier?"

The two of them were bickering, and Caiyu smiled as she heard them.

The three of them walked into the house one after another.

"Is my sister back?" A baby voice called out from the yard.

Meng Li followed behind Jia Jia and called out with a smile, "Master, sister-in-law, Jia Jia is much more lively today."

"It has to be lively, right?" Fu Nanyao snorted, "The little guy has cheated me of a lot of snacks."

Meng Li smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to Miss Nan Yao's care."

Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him and Bei Mo to take care of a little girl.

Yan Funing tapped Jiajia's forehead and smiled: "Ali and Nanyao have worked hard today."

Fu Beimo, who was standing on the ladder, muttered, "I've worked hard too, sister-in-law."

"What are you doing? Why are you standing so high?" Yan Funing waved at him, "Come down quickly, don't fall."
