Chapter 234 The Xu family is making a fuss outside the shop!
When Xu Zhiyi heard Zhang Lingfu say that someone came to the shop to inquire about him, after hearing his description, he immediately guessed that it was the Xu family's gang of top talents who came!
Su: "Zhiyi, how did they find their way here? What if the Xu family comes here to cause trouble and affects our shop?"
"Mom, we have already severed our relationship with them. If they insist on bumping into us without knowing whether to live or die, I will not give them the chance to regret it!"
Hearing this, Su reminded him, "Zhiyi, don't act rashly. At least think about whether you can get away with it before you act. Don't act on impulse!"
"Mom, when have you ever seen me act impulsively? I always do things according to the situation, so don't worry!"
Xu Zhiyi thought of Xue Mei who was about to be exiled, and also of her face that looked alike to Old Lady Xu, as well as the expression on Old Lady Xue's face when she saw him that day, and he interrupted her next words.
Therefore, this is definitely not a coincidence!
At this time, Madam Xue and Li Jinxuan were riding in a carriage towards Xu's shop, holding a wooden box with a full 10,000 taels of silver in it.
Madam Xue: "Alas, Jinxuan! I'm afraid there's really no way to deal with Mei'er's problem this time! We just went to visit the county magistrate, but he refused to see us. He even sent back the banknotes we sent him."
"If the county magistrate is unwilling to change the verdict, will it be any use for us to ask Manager Xu for help?"
Li Jinxuan: "I didn't know before, but I'm sure that asking Shopkeeper Xu would be helpful. Didn't the county magistrate ask someone to reply?"
"Reply...reply? How come I don't know?"
"When the county magistrate asked the butler to return the banknotes we gave him, he said that in the case of Mei girl, it was impossible for the county magistrate to sentence her to exile on the same day and then turn around and change the sentence without considering the victim's wishes. The county magistrate is reminding us that as long as Manager Xu can forgive Mei girl, there is room for a change of sentence in this case."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xue's heart suddenly lit up with hope: "Really? As long as Mei'er doesn't have to be exiled, even if...even if I really have to stay in prison for the rest of my life, I'll accept it!"
Li Jinxuan: "Don't worry! We have shown our sincerity today. How many years of selling cakes would it take for Shopkeeper Xu to earn this 10,000 taels of silver? Therefore, Shopkeeper Xu will definitely be tempted!"
At this time, after being scared out of the shop by Lord Dog, the Xu family members did not leave and were wandering outside the shop. In particular, when they heard the people who went in to buy cakes talking about Manager Xu, it was even more impossible for them to leave. They seriously suspected that the Manager Xu mentioned by the people was Xu Zhiyi.
But thinking of the tall and mighty Dog Master inside, they didn't dare to go straight into the shop and make trouble.
Old Mrs. Xu: "Hey, can you all stop walking around? I'm an old lady with a serious health condition, and walking around makes my chest feel stuffy."
Xu Lei: "Mom, waiting like this is not a solution! That damn girl has been deliberately hiding from us. Are we just going to wait for her like this?"
Xu Le: "Yes! Mom, we haven't eaten for almost the whole day. We are so hungry that we don't have the energy to stay here!"
Li, who was standing by, suggested, "Why don't we just make a scene outside the shop? We'll make the second wife and her daughter come out on their own initiative."
"Anyway, we are penniless, so we're just going to risk it. If it's not the mother and daughter who come out, but we just bump into someone with the same surname, then we can just apologize and say we've found the wrong place, isn't that enough?"
After hearing what Li said, several people stared at Old Lady Xu.
When Old Mrs. Xu saw that everyone was looking at her, she knew what this meant. After hesitating for a moment, she began to get emotional. She went to the door of Xu's shop, sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs, and started crying with tears and snot.
"Hey, everyone, come and have a look! This is the shop opened by my unfilial granddaughter. She and her mother, now that they have the money, are actually abandoning an old woman like me!"
"Woo woo! She was fleeing from famine halfway and thought that I was a burden, so she abandoned me halfway. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have died alive and fled to my destination."
"I was surprised to learn that my granddaughter and second daughter-in-law actually opened a pastry shop in the town. I, an old woman, just wanted to find a place to stay. As long as I can have something to eat, I am willing to help my granddaughter work in the shop."
"Who would have thought... wuwu... my granddaughter became rich and despised an old woman like me, and no longer acknowledged me as her own grandmother!"
The people who stopped to watch the excitement, after hearing what Old Lady Xu said, and seeing how miserable she was crying, couldn't help but feel sympathy:
"Is the shopkeeper of Xu's really so cruel?"
"That's right! Before she opened the shop, when she was setting up the stall, she looked like a nice girl!"
"Oh, this is exactly what they say, you can only know a person's face but not his heart!"
"Hey, look, an old woman is crying so hard that she's about to pass out, and the shopkeeper Xu is still hiding in the shop and won't come out."
The first and third branches of the Xu family, after hearing what the people said, looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. According to what the people said, it was most likely that the owner of this shop was really that dead girl Xu Zhiyi.
When Zhang Lingfu saw someone making trouble outside the shop, he was so scared that he hurried to the kitchen in the backyard to inform Xu Zhiyi.
"Boss, something bad has happened! There's an old woman claiming to be your grandmother outside the shop, and she's making a scene at the door!"
Hearing this, Su looked at Xu Zhiyi nervously: "Zhiyi, the old woman from the Xu family is really here! She is trying to force you!"
Xu Zhiyi washed her hands, which were covered in batter, and after drying them with a towel, she said calmly, "Mom, I'll go check it out. You stay here."
Shen Changan Shen Wuyou: "Madam, I'll go too"
"Oh, no need. We still have to deliver the cakes today. I'll go. Are you worried that I can't beat them or scold them?"
After hearing this, the two of them had no choice but to stop in their tracks.
When Xu Zhiyi came out of the shop, everyone in the Xu family stared at him. Some of them were reluctant to recognize him because he was like two completely different people from the Xu Zhiyi they had in mind.
How could this person change so much? If they hadn't recognized Xu Zhiyi by looking at her facial features, they would have thought she was a young lady from some family!
Xu Lei: "Oh, it really is you, my niece! I was so worried about you along the way. Now that I can see that you are doing well, I am finally relieved!"
Xu Le: "Daya... no, niece, you changed your name. Uncle San should call you Zhiyi! Zhiyi! I didn't expect that you are the one who has made it big in our family! This shop must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Mrs. Li: "Oh, Zhiyi, I know you are the most blessed girl in our family. Now that you have become rich, you must not forget me, your aunt!"
