Chapter 144 Stay
Pei Shun saw this, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. He suppressed his irritability and said with a miserable expression: "Third cousin, we are a family after all. Do you really want to watch me die without helping me?"
Seeing how hard Pei Shun worked, others did not want to be outdone and act pitiful.
"Third cousin, we can't even afford to eat. Can you really bear to see us starve to death?"
"That's right, that's right, Third cousin, please help us. We don't want any money and we can all work!"
Pei Hao stood in the middle of it, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He looked up at Pei Yian, their third cousin. The other man had a blank expression on his face, and still looked like he was enjoying the show, as if they were some kind of clowns.
Those black eyes could look straight into people's hearts, as if all their plans and strategies were exposed in front of him.
Pei Hao lowered his eyes and remained silent, feeling that his worries at the beginning were unnecessary.
"Who are you? Do we know each other?"
Pei Yian's words made Pei Shun, who was trying to play the victim, stop talking instantly. He looked at the person in front of him in shock, and met a pair of cold eyes.
He opened his mouth to say something, but the words left his mouth.
"Xiao Xiao, someone is here to cause trouble. You guys should kick them out." Pei Yian's voice was without a trace of emotion.
They thought Pei Yian would at least show some consideration no matter what, but unexpectedly, the other party was so rude when he drove people away. The others looked at Pei Shun, wanting to know what method he had.
Pei Shun clenched his jaw tightly and looked at the servant walking towards him. He knew that if this matter failed, he would have a hard time explaining to his father and grandmother.
If I disappoint my father, he will definitely not consider me when he takes over the assets.
Although Mr. Pei doesn't have much property, it is better than going out and working hard on his own. Besides, how can Pei Yuxuan, a kid who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, compare to himself?
He turned around, grabbed Pei Yian's sleeve, and cried, "Third cousin, I'm Pei Shun from the second house! We used to play together, don't you remember me? Do you really have the heart to let us sleep on the streets and starve to death? This is too heartless!"
conscience?
Pei Yian really doesn't have much of this stuff, and even if he does, he won't give it to the ungrateful family of the second branch.
He said with a half-smile, "From the second house? If I remember correctly, the first and second houses severed their relationship a long time ago."
From the day of the house confiscation and exile, the people of the second branch made their attitude clear, and they carried out this attitude to the end during the exile, wanting to watch Pei die of illness.
Pei Shun paused in his explanation, as if this was indeed the case. His eyes rolled around, and when he saw Pei coming out from the kitchen, he had an idea in his mind.
Pei Yian is a cold and indifferent person who is not easy to mess with, but Pei is not like that. She is the most kind-hearted and soft-hearted. In order to curry favor with Pei, Pei Shun has often pretended to be good in front of others.
He changed his direction and started to plead his misery with Pei, telling her how miserable he had been in the past few months and how difficult his life had been.
Pei was frightened by the man's behavior at first, but when she saw that the man was Pei Shun and heard about his tragic experience, she couldn't help but feel some sympathy.
She knew that this child was the illegitimate child of the second wife. In the past, he would think of her when he had anything good. It can be said that he was extremely filial.
Although she really wanted to help the other party, she only knew how to embroider and was not in charge of the restaurant's affairs. She looked at her indifferent son.
Pei could only suppress her sympathy and said, "Shun'er, I'm afraid I can't do you a favor..."
"Wait, are you from the second house?" At this moment, Ji Zhisui spoke.
"Yes, yes, but we are all illegitimate children and are bullied at home." Pei Shun did not miss any opportunity to play the victim. Wasn't Pei soft-hearted before?
"You come to the restaurant to help, don't want wages, just want a bite to eat?" Ji Zhisui said excitedly.
How great! These are all free labor forces that come right to your doorstep.
It just so happened that she needed to make a lot of sausages recently, and the pig offal was troublesome to deal with. She had originally planned to find some temporary help, and now this person just came to her door.
"Ah, yes..." Pei Shun agreed hesitantly. Why did he see excitement and excitement on the other person's face, and the look in his eyes, as if they were lambs to be slaughtered... This must be an illusion!
"Since you don't want wages, our restaurant is short of staff recently, so you can come and help."
"Thank you very much, young lady!" Pei Shun and others thanked Ji Zhisui.
There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that we have entered the Baiwei Restaurant, we can carry out the next plan.
Compared to the others who were in high spirits, Pei Hao had a look of wanting to say something but was hesitant. He knew that this was not the right occasion to talk, so he could only shut up and find time to talk things over with his third cousin.
"Sui Niang, this..." Pei was a little worried, fearing that Sui Niang was doing this for the sake of her face. If it caused trouble for the restaurant, it would really be her fault.
"Mom, I know what I'm doing, don't worry. Besides, Brother An is here too!" The restaurant is really short of staff recently. It's not that easy for these minions to cause trouble under Pei Yian's nose. Ji Zhisui is very relieved.
Pei Yian looked at Sui Niang's clever look and guessed what she wanted to do. A helpless and doting smile appeared on his face.
He will also diligently supervise these people from the second house. It is not so easy for them to do anything tricky under his nose now.
Pei Shun and the others were not happy for long. When they saw the rag handed over by the servant, their expressions were confused for a moment.
Seeing that the people didn't come back to their senses for a long time, the servant passed the rag to the people again.
"This... Is there something wrong? We are going to help in the kitchen, not to clean." Pei Shun asked in disbelief with an ugly face.
"You're right. There are so many corners of the restaurant that need to be cleaned. Do you want to be lazy? I'll go tell the shopkeeper right away."
"No, we didn't slack off." Pei Shun's voice was a little louder, as if he was denying something.
In order to avoid being suspected and kicked out, Pei Shun and others had to pick up the rag in front of them and start wiping every corner.
The more Pei Shun rubbed, the more irritable he became. Although he was born out of wedlock, he had never done these kinds of work, not before he was exiled.
Even when he arrived in Qizhou County, he was doing business with Master Pei and had no contact with these dirty and tiring jobs.
But now, he was holding a rag, just like a servant of this restaurant.
He wanted to leave, but he didn't dare and couldn't. If he really left at this time and failed to complete those plans, his image in his father's heart would be greatly reduced. So he could only grit his teeth and endure these hardships.
