Wei Yihong, with dark circles under his eyes, rubbed his aching back as he came out of the room.
Wei Guang was already waiting outside the door.
"Sir, I've already contacted the villages and towns and sold off all the pork you told me about."
"That's good."
Wei Guang: "I've found out the information you asked me to investigate. The mastermind behind it is Uncle Fu from Yulin Bookstore. He did indeed have people post those notices."
Wei Yihong's voice was cold, "I knew it would be like this."
It seems that this Rainforest Study must have some connection with the Chen family.
"Moreover, I had someone keep an eye on the food street. The Chen family has been selling chicken again recently. They've been selling stewed chicken for the past few days."
When did this happen?
"Ah, it was yesterday."
Wei Yihong was still a little confused, then suddenly something occurred to him.
Could it be that they have a way to change people's perception that eating meat is good for their health?
No way?
Suddenly, something occurred to me.
I stood up and wanted to shout
"I understand. The whole process! It's about those bored people on the walled forums posting messages to influence things..."
So next, the Chen family's next move should be to use some bored people to post information about the benefits of eating meat, or even the benefits of eating pork, in that small square.
Shameless! Utterly shameless.
"You must bring the Chen family here to me right now."
Wei Yihong sneered, "I need to have a proper discussion with the Chen family man."
"I want him to give me an explanation for this."
“Their actions have caused us to lose nearly several hundred taels of silver. I must make the Chen family give us an explanation for this.”
"Yes, yes, I'll be right there."
...
As Chen Xian was greeting the diners, someone asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, when will you continue serving your braised pork?"
"Let's wait a while. I don't think there's anything wrong with eating meat. Eating too much of anything is bad for your health."
He speaks only to the point.
Those people didn't press further. "Boss lady, give me a serving of stewed chicken, to go."
Wei Guang pushed through the crowd. "Mr. Chen, my master invites you."
Chen Xian looked at him. The man in front of him was slightly overweight, in his early thirties, and had two unusual brown-yellow eyes.
Who is your husband?
Wei Guang: "The Wei family."
Chen Xian calmly said, "Let's go."
Liniang and Shuangshuang were a little anxious and tugged at the corners of their clothes.
"Is my husband really alright?"
"In broad daylight, the owner of Zuixianglou must be very magnanimous and wouldn't dare to target small vendors like us!"
We are struggling to make a living. Surely he won't leave us no way to survive?
"My wife, don't you think so?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Guang's expression changed.
The onlookers, however, looked at Wei Guang with unfriendly expressions.
"So you're from the Wei family? Are you trying to kill someone?"
Besides, I've heard about the recipe for braised pork. It clearly belongs to the Chen family, but your master used underhanded tactics.
Did you get it from Manager Tao?
Instead of managing the assets properly, they exploited and bullied these people who were struggling to make ends meet.
It's truly nauseating.
As he said this, some people started to jeer:
"If something happens to Boss Chen, the Wei family will definitely not be able to escape."
"Don't worry, ma'am, we are all your witnesses."
Wei Guang's expression changed again. He hadn't expected that a merchant could have so many trusting customers in such a short time.
Wei Guang explained with a humble tone and a smile:
“Our master wants to discuss a business matter with Mr. Chen. Even if there is a misunderstanding, Mr. Chen can clear it up this time. You are all overthinking it.”
Some of the people were skeptical and looked at Chen Xian, asking, "Is that how Boss Chen is?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look first."
...
Living room of the house.
The second wife brought over a cup of tea.
"What's wrong, sir? Why does your face look so pale?"
"It's nothing. I'll have Wei Guang invite the Chen family over. I want to have a good talk with them."
This man married a jinx; he was killed by that woman in the early Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, that woman had a completely different fate; she married this man, and I heard his business is booming, which makes me resentful.
The second lady's teacup swayed slightly, especially when she heard the words "early Ming Dynasty".
"What's wrong?"
The second wife whispered, "Yes, yes, what a terrible man to marry, why did he have to provoke such a jinx?"
Wei Yihong's eyes were slightly red as he looked at her.
“I remember back then, even though you were a few years older than Mingchu, you still cared about him a lot, and he was quite close to you.”
The second wife's pretty face stiffened slightly. "Yes, sir, let's not talk about so many sad things. Have some tea to soothe your throat."
Head down.
"Sir, I've been feeling a bit sore lately, I'm going to rest."
Wei Yihong nodded. "Go ahead."
The second wife was somewhat dazed and even tripped on the threshold when she walked out the door.
The third wife, carrying a bowl of ginseng soup, wore a charming smile. "Grandpa has taken his medicine!"
Wei Yihong was sitting upright in his chair, but upon hearing these words, he suddenly felt uneasy.
He scolded, "Take it away, take it away! We're having guests coming soon. If the house smells like this, how can we receive them?"
The third wife laughed and said, "No way, the taste is very bland, okay? I simmered it for one or two hours, and my clothes were soaked through."
