Chapter 347 The Truth Revealed
Wu Shiren's face suddenly darkened. "Don't you feel at ease? Our family's business is almost bankrupt. If you don't learn the skills, do you want your mother to beg with you in the future?"
Hearing him mention his mother, Xuanyunduo clenched her fists. Ever since he was old enough to understand, she knew that he was a concubine's son.
Wu Shiren would only visit him once every three or five days. His mother told others that he was dead.
He knew his mother's difficulties and helplessness, and he felt sorry for her.
Wu Shiren didn't dare to take them home because he was a son-in-law.
If people knew that he was keeping a mistress outside his wife's back, he would be criticized and called heartless.
A few years ago, Wu Shiren's first wife passed away. His mother wanted his father to take him home countless times.
But my father always made excuses, saying that he would wait until my sister Wu Cuihua got married and then bring my mother into the Wu family with great fanfare, and change his name back to Wu Duoduo.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and whispered, "My son knows."
Seeing that he looked listless and not in high spirits, Wu Shiren understood and his tone became gentle.
"Son, Dad doesn't want you to suffer, but Dad really can't find a suitable candidate. Just be patient. Once I learn the formula, I will definitely bring your mother and you home."
......
At this time, Chen Qingqing and Chen Feng had already arrived at Qingfeng Restaurant, and with the help of Wu Cuihua, they came to the private room.
The three of them heard the conversation clearly.
Chen Qingqing never dreamed that she would eat such a big melon. She suddenly pushed open the door, clapped her hands and smiled.
"Wu Shiren, you are such a scoundrel. You actually let your own son work as a handyman just for your own selfish desires. But I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. We can't afford Xuanyunduo."
Wu Shiren was startled by this sudden change, then he came to his senses and flew into a rage, "Who, who let you in? Get out now!"
When he saw Wu Cuihua beside them, he was stunned for a moment, "Cuihua, you, why are you here too?"
Wu Cuihua bit her lips tightly. She never dreamed that the man who always obeyed his mother would have such a grown son outside.
Her eyes were red as she pointed at him and asked, "Who is he?"
Wu Shiren instinctively wanted to lie, but seeing the expectant gazes of many people, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, "Cuihua, do you want to listen to Daddy's explanation?"
"No, I won't listen. You lied to me, you lied to my mother, you are a big liar." Wu Cuihua was greatly shocked. She shook her head and ran out crying.
"Brother, let's go!" Chen Qingqing didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, so she pulled the dazed Chen Feng out of the house.
Wu Shiren was stunned for a long time before he remembered his daughter and chased after her...
As the saying goes, we are not afraid of no good things, but we are afraid of no good people.
Wu Shiren was furious at the repeated failures of his plans.
He often sat alone in the counter, cursing and venting his frustration.
He had wanted countless times to go to Ruyi Building with a kitchen knife and make a scene, kicking out all the diners.
But he was just thinking about it, he didn't have the courage to do it.
That day, Wu Shiren had just arrived at the counter early in the morning and made a pot of tea. Before he could even sit down, he saw Li the butcher walking in from outside, shaking his head.
Seeing this, Wu Shiren was furious and said angrily, "You haven't done anything yet, and you still have the nerve to come here?"
Li the butcher chuckled disapprovingly, "Big brother, what are you doing? I missed you so I came to see you!"
"What the hell do you want me to do? Look at those useless idiots under you. They can't even handle such a small task. What else can they do?"
"Oh, my dear brother, look at you, why are you still angry? It won't be worth it if something bad happens to you."
Li the butcher was not polite either. He took the cup of tea that Wu Shiren had poured, sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, blew on the tea with his mouth, and took a sip.
"Brother, you can't blame my brothers for not doing their job well. You should blame that guy, Keng Dashao. My people had already made the plan and were ready to start, but who knew that guy was so cruel that he picked up the dead fly and ate it.
As the saying goes, 'Catch the thief, catch the stolen goods; catch the adulterer, catch the couple.' Without a pretext, my brothers can't act recklessly. If we're put in jail and you're found to be the mastermind, that would really cause trouble for you, big brother!"
Seeing his playful and cheerful demeanor, Wu Shiren couldn't help but get furious. "Stop talking nonsense! Your brothers are just a bunch of idiots, useless pieces of shit. If they don't succeed, they won't think of other ways!"
"Brother, calm down and stop arguing. You might think we're fighting! I've thought about it these days, but they're already on guard, so it's not a good idea to use the same method again."
"What should I do? Is my Qingshui Restaurant really going to have to close? I, Wu Shiren, have been in Qingshui Town for so many years, but I don't even have a friend who is willing to be loyal and supportive. My life has been in vain. I might as well die."
"You're wrong. Who said you don't have any close friends? Am I not your brother, Li the Butcher?"
Butcher Li patted his chest.
"Although we are not blood brothers, I have always treated you as my own brother. Now that you have been wronged and encountered difficulties, how can I, as your brother, feel good? Can I stand by and watch? No, absolutely not! I want to live and die with you, and advance and retreat together. Brothers are united, and their strength can break iron. Whatever you say, I will do."
Wu Shiren shook his head helplessly. "Brother, I feel better now because of what you said, but I really can't think of any other solution. They're making a fortune and are so wealthy. I can only duck my head like a tortoise and swallow this humiliation!"
"My dear brother, you're the head shopkeeper of the Qingshui Restaurant and a well-known figure in Qingshui Town. Why are you so stubborn now? Are you really giving up? 'Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it'. You can't let a living person die from holding his urine!"
"Brother, what do you mean by that? Have you come up with another good idea?"
"As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems. As the saying goes, 'pigs push forward, chickens dig backward.' Everyone has their own way. As long as you're willing to use your brain, there's no problem you can't solve."
As he spoke, Li the Butcher paused, looked at Wu Shiren, and changed the subject.
"Brother, there's a saying that goes, 'One person can plan for the short term, two people can plan for the long term, and three people can discuss things easily. There's strength in numbers, but people need to eat, drink, and have fun. If you can't fill your stomach, you really can't come up with any good ideas."
Hearing what he said, Wu Shiren immediately understood and cursed in his heart, this shameless man, who talks about brotherly love, is actually a mean person who is greedy for profit.
He wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him for money, but he was embarrassed.
"Brother, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm a hunchback now, and I'm a little tight on money. But with our relationship, you can rest assured. As long as you do a good job, you will definitely benefit from the profits of my restaurant in the future."
