Chapter 74 The Most Failed Bribery
Dai Jin'er had told them earlier not to reveal the secret recipe of eating cold rabbit, and the two siblings remembered this well.
Before Guo Lijie could speak, Cai Yong said, "This is Lin Ji's secret. We can't tell you."
Guo Lijie was not angry, and said in a gentle manner, "Think about it, the reason why Boss Lin didn't let you tell others is simply because she was afraid that others would steal her business. But my restaurant is located in the county town, and it poses no threat here at all. So if you tell me what you did, it won't affect Lin Xi's ability to make money at all, and you won't even be discovered, and you can still get your monthly salary."
Guo Lijie thought that he had analyzed the pros and cons clearly enough, and as long as the two siblings were not stupid, they would definitely not refuse.
"We don't understand all the things you said, but I definitely can't tell you how to eat cold rabbit." Cai Xiaomei said angrily. She thought this person really had something to ask them, but it turned out he had bad intentions.
"Don't worry, I can give you some time to think about it. Once you've thought it over, this amount of money can be yours at any time." Guo Lijie also tried to tempt the two with silver.
Cai Yong said unhappily, "Although we are country people, we will never take this kind of money. Go away. We will not agree to it."
Guo Lijie didn't expect that he would experience unprecedented frustration with the two disabled people, and the money was actually useless.
"One hundred taels of silver! Even if you work for decades, you may not be able to save that much money." Guo Lijie still didn't give up.
Cai Yong had completely seen through this guy's true colors. He was clearly trying to steal business with bad intentions. He kicked the bench at Guo Lijie's feet and said, "Get out of here!"
Guo Lijie was speechless and had no patience left. "What right do you, a cripple, have to chase me away? I don't know what sin you have committed. You don't even have hands!"
Cai Yong didn't get angry, but Cai Xiaomei got angry first, "What are you talking about? My brother is a good man, unlike you!"
"You should talk less. You don't even have legs. I don't know if you can get married in the future." Guo Lijie said sarcastically.
Hearing someone say that about his sister, Cai Yong got even angrier and kicked the man out of the door. He had been doing lower limb exercises during this period, and in addition to writing, he was also strengthening his strength training, so the kick was so powerful that it almost broke Guo Lijie's ribs.
Guo Lijie never thought that Cai Yong would treat him like this. He was kicked out of the door without any preparation and just stopped at the feet of Lin Xi who was coming back from outside.
"Oh, isn't this Boss Guo? Even though we haven't seen each other for a long time, there's no need to be so polite." Lin Xi joked with a wry smile. She hadn't forgotten the last time she smashed the store.
When the Cai brothers and sisters saw Lin Xi coming back, they hurried to complain.
Lin Xi then realized that Guo Lijie came here just for the recipe of cold rabbit. This guy is really determined to get it.
Guo Lijie didn't think there was anything wrong with him at all. "Lin Xi, stop pretending. You set fire to my kitchen, so what if I gave you a secret recipe?"
Lin Xi was confused by this. When had she ever burned Guo Lijie's kitchen?
"Boss Guo, I don't even know where your store is, how can I burn down the kitchen?" Lin Xi said calmly, "Besides, if I really want to burn down the kitchen, I won't just burn down the kitchen. I will definitely burn down your sign first."
"You!" Guo Lijie covered his chest, too angry to speak.
"You'd better go back and recuperate early. Do you need me to send someone to take you back?" Lin Xi said in a fake tone.
Guo Lijie: "Lin Xi, if you did it, don't be afraid to admit it!"
Lin Xi really found it strange. "If you have evidence, go to the government and report me. Why do you have to stay here and endure my anger?"
Guo Lijie was speechless because of her sharp words.
"Boss Guo, why are you still kneeling on the ground? Even if you are meeting the emperor, you can stand up now." Lin Xi saw that Guo Lijie was still unable to stand up, so she deliberately angered him.
Guo Lijie was indeed angry. He struggled to get up, but he could not even stand steadily and had to lean against the wall, cursing as he walked.
Xiao Yongyan: "What he just said doesn't sound like a lie. Although we didn't do it, the kitchen in the store was probably burned."
Lin Xi thought so too. "But who would burn down his kitchen? We don't have any acquaintances in the county."
"Why don't I know anyone? I'm not a human?"
A somewhat unhappy voice came from not far away. Lin Xi looked over and found that the person was Tang Xuyang.
"Why did you suddenly appear?" Lin Xi felt very strange. This guy left without saying goodbye, and she thought something had happened to him.
Tang Xuyang snorted coldly, "Isn't it to help you get revenge?"
Revenge, or help him?
Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yongyan with a questioning look. Xiao Yongyan thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that you burned down Guo Lijie's store?"
Seeing that they finally reacted, Guo Lijie's expression looked better.
It’s okay, these people are not as stupid as we imagined.
Giving Lin Xi a look that said "I'm really awesome", Tang Xuyang leaned against the door frame, as if waiting for Lin Xi's praise.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi frowned and pouted, "So it was you who did it. Now we have to take the blame."
Tang Xuyang's arm was unstable and he almost fell down, "I'm hurting you! I'm helping you, okay!"
Lin Xi now completely sees through Tang Xuyang. He is just a middle school student with a second-year syndrome. He thinks he is helping others, but in fact he is causing trouble for others.
Tang Xuyang himself felt very aggrieved. He was a bully in the county and had rarely done a good deed in his decades of life, but others did not appreciate it.
"Lin Xi, think about it carefully. If it weren't for me, your store would have been gone long ago." Tang Xuyang said.
Lin Xi sighed, "Guo Lijie couldn't buy off my people with a hundred taels of silver, so how could my store fail?"
Tang Xuyang was silent for a moment, and what Lin Xi said seemed to make sense.
He turned around and put his arm on Xiao Yongyan's shoulder again, "Brother, your wife is so powerful, you can't usually argue with her at home."
Xiao Yongyan smiled and said, "I listen to my wife on all matters at home."
"Brother," Tang Xuyang's eyes widened, "You are wrong. We men are the backbone of the family. We must have the final say. How can we listen to our wives?"
Xiao Yongyan looked at Tang Xuyang and asked, "You haven't got married yet, right?"
Tang Xuyang: “No.”
"You will understand after you get married. There is one unchanging truth in the world, and that is to listen to your wife." Xiao Yongyan patted Tang Xuyang on the shoulder.
Although he said this to Tang Xuyang, his eyes were on Lin Xi and did not leave for a moment.
Tang Xuyang was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Yongyan, then at Lin Xi whose face was slightly red.
My goodness, why does he feel a little full?
