"Why don't you get out of here? Are you waiting for us to call the police?" Zhao Tiezhu picked up a bench. The troublemakers looked at each other and were about to step forward to fight when they heard two coughs. Xiao Liuzi and a few of his brothers were leaning against the door eating melon seeds.
"What's going on? Who wants to embarrass my sister?"
Xiao Liuzi's men have been in the gang for many years, and their aura is much more ferocious than that group of people. Moreover, they are outnumbered, so the troublemakers immediately became incompetent and retreated while pushing each other.
"That's right, this is what a good and obedient child should be like."
Xiao Liuzi smiled playfully, and Liu Chunhua said to him, "Thank you for your trouble. Come in and sit down. I will treat everyone to dinner later."
"Sister No, I see you still have some things to deal with. Let's do it next time." Xiao Liuzi is a smart man. He knows that Liu Chunhua will deal with internal affairs next, so he waved his hand and left with a group of people.
As they left, Old Li's face completely fell. He looked at Liu Chunhua for a long time before he managed to say, "Chunhua, when did you doubt me?"
"I didn't doubt you."
Under Old Li's suspicious gaze, Liu Chunhua approached him step by step. "If I doubted you, I wouldn't have specially invited you back, and I wouldn't have taken the initiative to raise your salary. I did this because I am cautious. I know that some people have bad intentions. But I didn't expect that the one who did it was you."
"I..." Old Li wanted to explain, but he knew that he was wrong. Tears fell down his cheeks and he cried miserably. "It's me. I am sorry for you, but they threatened me with my son and grandson! I have no choice...Chunhua..."
"You have no other choice, so you're going to harm your own boss like this?" Zhao Tiezhu was furious. If Liu Chunhua hadn't had the foresight to let him and Jiang Zhize cooperate, he wouldn't have discovered the abnormality in the first place.
"I know it's all my fault. Nothing I say now will help. But you have to believe me. I didn't mean to harm Chunhua! And I certainly didn't mean to harm our store!" Old Li cried and told how he refused and how he was locked up by his daughter-in-law. At last, he grabbed Liu Chunhua's sleeve and said, "Chunhua, I don't ask you to forgive me, but I just want to tell you that I did it because those people said they wouldn't kill for money! If I had known it was poison, I..."
"If I had known it was poison."
Liu Chunhua interrupted him, and said word by word, cold as ice, "You will still do this."
"Brother Li, this is the last time I call you Brother Li. In fact, you know very well that those people must have killed me if they wanted to do it. You just can't get over it in your heart, so you choose to deceive yourself. But I can understand that between family and boss, family is of course more important."
Liu Chunhua said it lightly, but Old Li's heart trembled.
He couldn't deny it because Liu Chunhua was right. He had guessed that the medicine was fatal, but he still held on to hope.
"I am sorry for you. I will admit it if you want to call the police."
"I won't call the police."
Liu Chunhua looked at him, "You helped me in the beginning, and I've always remembered this kindness in my heart. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to open this store. I know everything. Let's just write it off this time. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. You're no longer my Big Brother Li, and I'm no longer your boss."
"Spring flowers..."
Old Li burst into tears. Only now did he realize that what he was about to lose was not just a job, but also a friend with whom he had trusted and supported each other.
"Brother Tiezhu, please send him out. From now on, no one in the Li family is allowed to set foot in Jinyumantang without my permission."
"good!"
Zhao Tiezhu was filled with rage, so he grabbed Old Li and threw him out. The others also started to clean up the mess spontaneously. Only then did Jiang Zhishun and Jiang Zhize speak.
"Mom, are you just going to let it go?"
Jiang Zhishun didn’t know how deep the relationship between Liu Chunhua and this man was, but he knew that betrayal was the most shameful thing. If it were him, he would never let it go easily.
"He helped me a lot. Your brother also learned his craft from him. He is half a benefactor to our family. Now that no one has died, there is no need to hold on to him anymore."
Moreover, Liu Chunhua knew that Old Li would not end up well when he returned. He had not done what he promised, and that group of people would not let him go easily. When they came to their senses, they might even suspect that he had tipped her off in advance, which made her on guard.
But none of this has anything to do with her anymore. The moment Old Li chose to betray her, their relationship ended there.
[It should be said, well done! ]
Jiang Ruyi was so happy to see this, and was also pleased that Liu Chunhua was growing so fast.
"Okay, you two brothers haven't seen each other for such a long time, so don't worry about my affairs." Liu Chunhua smiled and asked the kitchen to prepare a table of delicious dishes. She took everyone in the restaurant to have a meal. Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal, but without exception, everyone had a little more awe and fear of Liu Chunhua.
Including Zhao Tiezhu.
Although everyone respected her in the past, they still felt that Liu Chunhua did not have much ability and the store was entirely supported by Old Li's craftsmanship. But after what happened today, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Liu Chunhua was capable of taking charge and was also very resourceful. If anyone wanted to plot against her again, they would have to think twice.
At night, Liu Chunhua asked Jiang Zhize to take Jiang Zhishun back home early, and she found Zhao Tiezhu alone.
"Brother Tiezhu, I want to ask you for help with something."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Tiezhu was quite confused. Couldn't he have said what happened at the dinner table?
After he finished listening, he immediately understood why Liu Chunhua wanted to look for him when no one was around.
"How could this beast do such a thing!"
"Yes, he is a beast, so we can't let the beast go."
Liu Chunhua had a cold expression, she had not forgotten what Jiang Chao had done. It was bad enough that he bullied her, but he also hurt her son so badly. This time, she would definitely make him suffer.
"What do you want me to do?"
Liu Chunhua whispered a few words, and Zhao Tiezhu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you."
In the next few days, Liu Chunhua didn't go anywhere. She took the children shopping. No matter whether it was clothes or shoes, or food, drinks or toys, as long as Liu Chunhua thought it was good, she bought it all.
"Mom, when did you become so generous with your money?" Jiang Zhishun was wearing a set of new clothes, some of which were said to be imported brands.
Hearing this, Liu Chunhua smiled and said, "When has mother ever been ungenerous to you, silly children? I didn't have the conditions before, but now I have the conditions, so of course I have to satisfy you."
Then he picked up a few more clothes, and after comparing them and finding them suitable, he said directly to the boss, "I want all of these, pack them up."
"Okay!" Such a generous look made the owner of the clothing store smile happily, and also attracted the attention of someone in the corner.
