Chapter 376 Manager You's Retribution
Yi'er shielded her younger brother and sister behind her and said, "Mother, please don't blame my second brother and sister. It's all because of me. I couldn't bear to leave you, so I brought them with me."
Du Wanchun took out a handkerchief and wiped their faces. "Alright, Mother doesn't blame you. Just don't do this again next time. It's too dangerous on the road. What would Mother do if something happened to you?"
The three little radish heads nodded in unison.
They showed remorse well, their eyes lowered and watery, looking somewhat aggrieved.
Du Wanchun's heart softened at their appearance. She picked up the youngest Mianmian and then led Yi'er and Yu'er away from the rice warehouse.
The three children were overjoyed and rubbed against Du Wanchun again and again.
Du Wanchun arranged for the three of them to stay in her room and had the maids in the mansion cook them sweet soup.
Although Xiao Mianmian and the others were physically stronger than the average child, they were still exhausted after the bumpy ride. After drinking the sweet soup, they all fell asleep.
Du Wanchun gently stroked their chubby little faces, and her mood, which had been gloomy all day, was calmed down.
The following day, Du Wanchun and Manager Bo discussed the events of the previous night.
After the two had finished their reflections, Du Wanchun proposed that he would become the head manager of the Zhou family from now on.
Manager Bo is tactful and quick-witted, and very upright, making him very suitable for the position of head manager.
However, he himself felt he couldn't take it. "Madam Du, no, this is absolutely not allowed. I used to be just a shop assistant in the incense shop, how can I become the head manager?"
Du Wanchun poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "I have looked at hundreds of shops in the capital and met the managers of those shops. I think none of them can compare to you, Manager Bo. Don't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, you are not only capable of doing the job, but you can do even better than Manager You."
Manager Bo was quite moved upon hearing this, and bowed deeply to her, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam Du. Once my leg injury heals, I will definitely repay the Zhou family properly."
Du Wanchun stood up and said, "Alright, no need for formalities. You should focus on recovering from your injuries. There's no rush. I'll be staying in the capital for a while longer."
"Yes, Madam," Manager Bo replied, slowly rising to his feet. After a moment's hesitation, he asked Du Wanchun, "Is Manager You's matter just going to be left like this?"
Du Wanchun replied with a smile, "Of course not."
Manager Bo's expression improved considerably. "That's good then."
Du Wanchun said slowly, "Don't worry, it won't be long before he kneels on the ground and begs us for mercy."
Manager Bo was taken aback, but a sense of anticipation also stirred within him.
Although he had worked for Manager You for a period of time in the past, he hated ungrateful people the most in his life, and such people deserved to be punished.
Inside the Liang residence.
Master Liang was furious because Manager You had been discovered. Early in the morning, he pointed at Manager You and scolded, "You useless thing! Why didn't you just send a few men to poison the rice warehouse? Why did you have to go yourself? Weren't you just asking to be caught?!"
Manager You lowered his head and remained silent, deeply regretting his actions.
Normally, he would send someone to do this kind of thing, but for some reason, whenever he saw the key to the rice warehouse gate, he would think of Du Wanchun's words to him to take good care of the new rice and not let anything happen to it.
He was as if bewitched, and without thinking, he led his men to the rice granary.
After he came to his senses, he was filled with regret.
"Father-in-law, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on me. Du Wanchun set a trap for me, and there was nothing I could do about it."
Manager You offered a helpless excuse.
Master Liang scolded, "Don't call me father-in-law! You and Rou'er are not married yet!"
Shopkeeper You, fearing he wouldn't be able to marry Liang Rou'er, quickly said, "Master, Rou'er and I are already engaged."
Master Liang stroked his beard and said sternly, "It's settled, but the wedding ceremony hasn't been held yet, has it? Our Liang family still has a chance to back out!"
Manager You panicked. "Master, I know I didn't handle this well. I will never make the same mistake again. Rou'er and I are in love, and this marriage was arranged long ago."
