It’s getting late today, let’s wait until tomorrow!
Xia Daohua suppressed her urge to go out immediately, prepared the four-color gifts, counted the inventory of "Daohuaxiang", and checked today's store video - she did install cameras in the store after all.
Recently, she recalled a short story she read in her previous life in modern society.
The story is not long, but it is very sad.
It tells the story of a man who opened a restaurant. He had a great idea and creative dishes. At the beginning, the business was very popular and soon customers came in droves, and he made a lot of money.
However, the good times did not last long.
Because from the head chef to the waiter, everyone stole from the restaurant, helped each other, covered for each other, and rushed to embezzle the public funds for their own benefit.
The boss knew it very well, but he could not find any evidence to hold against these people. He fired a group of people and replaced them with new ones, but the same thing happened again. He lost all his capital step by step.
Feeling discouraged, he finally gave up the business.
Xia Daohua had always had great trust in the shop assistants she hired. Furthermore, she was often in charge of the shop, so she had never seen any of them act dishonestly.
But after she suddenly recalled this story, she couldn't help but feel that relying solely on the self-consciousness of the guys might not be so reliable.
After all, if you create an environment suitable for stealing, where people can take things without anyone noticing for a long time, how high a moral standard do you need to be to allow people to control their greed and remain unmoved by temptation?
So, she simply installed a camera.
Moreover, they are hidden and disguised, and look like exquisite and cute ornaments, decorations, bonsai, etc.
I installed several more.
From every angle, you can see every move of the shop assistants clearly.
There are no blind spots.
Of course, every move of the customer will also be recorded.
Strictly speaking, doing so violates the privacy of the waiters and customers.
But Xia Daohua believes that she is not a judge and "Daohuaxiang" is not a court, so there is no need to consider whether the source of the evidence is legal.
She just wants the facts.
Fortunately, up to now, there have been no disappointing situations in my store.
It's just that business has been a little slow these past few days.
It is far less lively than during the New Year holidays.
However, the store's candies, snacks, drinks and soaps have a certain amount of sales almost every day.
Xia Daohua restocked the items that needed replenishing one by one, sorted out today's sales records, put the large sums of silver into the space, and the small changes into the cash box in the store, then got up and left.
After locking the gate and iron gate one by one, Xia Daohua returned to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the fourth branch of the Xia family. Everyone, except himself and Huaihua, looked at him seriously.
Does this look like a three-court trial?
Xia Daohua was startled and put on a smile: "Oh my god, what happened?"
Xia Wulang asked seriously, "Daohua, was it you who did this to the Xie family?"
Xia Daohua smiled and asked, "What's going on with the Xie family?"
Lihua looked anxious, but Xia Daohua saw a smile that she couldn't suppress:
"Xie County Magistrate's house has been robbed!
It was said that the thief stole everything from the county magistrate's family, ransacking the entire Xie residence. It was said that the house was spotless, as if it had been washed clean.
County Magistrate Xie was so anxious that he sold all his beautiful concubines to raise money!
Xia Youtian, Jiang, and Wu Lang all stared at Xia Daohua seriously, "Did you do this?"
Xia Daohua laughed and said, "How could I possibly be that capable? You think too highly of me."
Xia Youtian and Jiang's faces were filled with worry, and even Wu Lang's face was a bit worried. However, when Xia Daohua denied it, they were instantly relieved.
The whole family seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief: "I'm glad it's not you."
Xia Youtian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said meaningfully:
"As the saying goes, those who drown are all good swimmers. The more capable a person is, the more likely he or she is to stumble over his or her own abilities. Daohua, you are a smart child. I'm sure you understand these words, so I don't need to explain them."
Jiang nodded and then persuaded Xia Daohua:
"You have a stubborn temper, and I'm most worried about you. I know you don't like to hear it, but I still have to say it - be patient and you'll have peace; take a step back and you'll have a bright future.
Even if someone has some bad intentions towards your brother, nothing has happened yet, right?
"People should not fight against officials! If someone bullies us, we should just hide away, but never rely on your skills to confront them head-on!"
Xia Daohua responded solemnly: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."
As long as the space doesn't suddenly malfunction, she won't fail.
Naturally, there is no such thing as "capsulating in a small ditch".
However, since my parents are so worried about me, the worst that can happen is that I will use more scheming and less simple and blunt tactics in the future.
Thinking this way, Xia Daohua agreed with great sincerity.
The couple in the fourth room were quite satisfied with the answer. Naturally, they began to care about her:
"I got home a little late today. There's a lot to do in the store. I might as well ask my family to help. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
"Yes, Daohua, it was fine back in Beiguan Village. I was busy working at home and in the fields all day long. Here, apart from the little chores at home, they are finished in no time. I'm so idle that I feel itchy all over and my bones are uncomfortable."
