Zhong Wanshan suppressed his anger and looked at Yang Shuang: "My wife, are you sure you want to do this? Zheng Peng is not a good person at all. Be careful of him..."
"Don't say slanderous words about others in front of me. It sounds disgusting. If you have ambition, get out of here!" Yang Shuang said unhappily.
"You just kept asking me why I didn't go back to Beijing for the New Year. Think about it yourself, why haven't I been back in the past few years?"
Zhong Wanshan walked out of the accounting office.
Yang Shuang looked at Zhong Wanshan's back as he left, and suddenly felt sad and angry.
Everyone said that Zhong Wanshan was an ungrateful person who could never be tamed, and this time she finally witnessed it.
"Mother."
Zhong Huaishuang happily walked towards Yang Shuang, but was frightened by the anger on her face and stopped in her tracks.
Yang Shuang looked at Zhong Huaishuang, but was frightened by her thin figure.
"How did Zhong Wanshan take care of you? Why did he raise you like this?"
Zhong Huaishuang smiled bitterly and walked cautiously to Yang Shuang's side: "It's not Dad's fault, it's my own fault."
Zhong Huaishuang looked around but couldn't find Yang Shengshan, so she asked, "Mom, where's my brother?"
"Your brother said he hasn't been to Qinghe Town yet, so he went there to play." Yang Shuang said.
As she spoke, she started coughing violently again.
She has always been in poor health and almost died when giving birth to Yang Shengshan.
Zhong Wanshan, however, doesn't know how to cherish her at all and is still playing with other women outside. He is simply not a human being!
"Mom, drinking some honey water will make you feel much better."
Yang Shuang took the cup and drank from it, her eyes gradually softening: "My own daughter is so considerate, unlike some people."
"Mom, Dad cares about you. He asked me to pour you this honey water. Please don't be angry with him, okay? There's really nothing between him and Sister Yunjiao, just a master-servant relationship."
Yang Shuang's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if stained with frost, freezing people to the bone.
"Even you are helping that Xie Yunjiao, and you are calling her so intimately. What kind of love potion did she feed you?"
Zhong Huaishuang wanted to say something, but she knew that Yang Shuang was angry at the moment and would not listen to anything she said.
"Mother, it's rare for you to come to Qinghe Town, why don't I take you out for a walk?"
Yang Shuang waved her hands and said with a look of disdain, "No need. This shabby place can't compare to the capital."
Zhong Huaishuang smiled awkwardly: "Okay."
***
Xie Yunjiao was packing her things. Xiao Ding and the others gathered at the door, looking at Xie Yunjiao reluctantly: "Master, are you really leaving?
Can you tell the boss not to kick you out?"
If it weren't for Xie Yunjiao, none of them would be where they are today.
And without Xie Yunjiao around, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to do it.
"Don't worry, you've learned a lot from my side and you can handle it."
She spared no effort in teaching them, intending that one day they would be able to be independent even when she was gone.
"But Master, we can't bear to leave you..." said the little egg.
"What are you doing? You two don't have to work anymore, right? If you don't want to work, get out!"
Zheng Peng put on the chef's uniform he had always dreamed of, and bossed everyone around in a domineering manner.
Xie Yunjiao glanced at the smug Zheng Peng and said to Xiao Ding and the others, "Hurry back to work. Even if I'm not here, you must stick to quality."
"Master, we understand."
Everyone works hard to support their families, and they all dispersed in an instant.
Xie Yunjiao walked to the door with her bag but was stopped by Zheng Peng's men: "Wait a minute, you can't take anything from Yue Man Lou."
They grabbed Xie Yunjiao's bag without asking any reason, and when they were about to turn it over, Xie Yunjiao hit their hands, so they had to let go in pain.
"Bitch, you dare to hit me?"
"How can you touch my things? If you want to see them, I'll turn them over for you. There's no need to get your dirty hands dirty with my things."
Zheng Peng snorted coldly, his eyes full of smugness: "It's just a last-ditch effort, but you still have to take out the things in the bag obediently."
As long as he gets all the recipes developed by Xie Yunjiao, would he still be worried about not being able to manage Yue Manlou well?
Zheng Peng watched Xie Yunjiao take out her things one by one and put them back, but he didn't find what he wanted.
He rushed over and messed up Xie Yunjiao's things again while she was packing.
How is that possible? Why didn’t she bring the recipe with her?
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his back, staggered, and fell flat on his face.
"A bat with feathers on its back is just pretending to be a good bird. I already know what you're looking for by heart.
I won’t be like you, a cow with a stomach full of grass.”
Zheng Peng got up from the ground in pain and heard someone muttering, "What does a grass-filled tripe mean?"
"I don't know either."
Xie Yunjiao raised the corner of her mouth and said slowly: "Don't you understand? Let me explain it to you out of kindness. A cow's stomach that has eaten enough grass is naturally a straw bag."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Shut up! If you keep laughing, you won't be allowed to stay in Yuemanlou anymore." Zheng Peng shouted angrily.
"Practice your cooking skills and run Yue Man Lou well, otherwise I'll have to clean up the mess when I come back."
Xie Yunjiao said this and left.
Zheng Peng stared at Xie Yunjiao's back, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her back.
Come back? Is she thinking too much?
With him around, he wouldn't give her a chance to come back!
"What are you two doing here? If you don't want to work anymore, get out!"
Zheng Peng shouted loudly, and although those people were dissatisfied, they still scattered like a school of frightened fish.
Xie Yunjiao left Yuemanlou, but saw Zhong Wanshan not far away.
"Boss, oh no, I can't call you boss now."
Zhong Wanshan looked at Xie Yunjiao guiltily. He didn't know that Yang Shuang would come early. If he had been prepared, perhaps what happened today would not have happened.
"I waited for you here on purpose and wanted to apologize to you."
"You don't owe me anything, so there's no need to apologize. Fortunately, I have already advanced you a few months' salary, otherwise I don't know if I can get the money from your shrewish wife if I am suddenly kicked out." Xie Yunjiao said.
Zhong Wanshan smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, my wife has always been like this, she sticks to her word.
I'll try to persuade her and get you back to work as soon as possible."
"No, she's already mad. The more you appear in front of her, the angrier she'll get. You should wait a while so I can spend more time with my family."
"Okay then, I'll do as you say." Zhong Wanshan felt that Xie Yunjiao was right. Yang Shuang was indeed angry, so it would be better for him to avoid provoking her.
"Okay, I won't continue nagging you here, lest someone sees and thinks you and I have some dirty relationship.
I don’t want anyone to misunderstand me.”
Xie Yunjiao waved her hand and left with her thin bag.
