Chapter 887 I’m Doing This for Your Own Good
As luck would have it, Zhou Jiu wasn't paying attention and kicked the chair hard, causing him to grimace in pain.
Cheng Xiaowu was worried that he would get into trouble, so he quickly made an excuse and prepared to slip away.
"Master, let me find out where Wan Xi got the recipe."
Zhou Jiu took a breath and said, "You idiot, do you still need to ask?
I got the recipe from Zhang Juexia."
Cheng Xiaowu still didn't give up. "I know an acquaintance who works as a waiter at Manfu Restaurant. I'll go ask him about the details."
Zhou Jiu also wanted to know the details, so he waved his hand and let Cheng Xiaowu leave.
Soon Cheng Xiaowu came back.
Zhou Jiu looked at Cheng Xiaowu in disbelief. "You said that Wan Xi agreed to all of Zhang Juexia's conditions?"
Cheng Xiaowu nodded vigorously, "I was also skeptical at first, but after asking him many times, he still said the same thing.
I have to say, Shopkeeper Wan really has a lot of money!"
After saying this, Cheng Xiaowu took several steps back.
Zhou Jiu was furious. He squeezed the teacup in his hand fiercely and said, "Wanxi, I will never let you go."
Cheng Xiaowu quickly shook his head, "Master, no!
Although Manager Wan's shop opened, Boss Zhang did not come.
But this shop is indeed a collaboration between Manager Wan and Boss Zhang.
Also, I heard from the shop assistant that Mr. Chen from the capital specially sent a calligraphy to congratulate Manager Wan on the opening of his shop.
Our county magistrate also sent gifts.
That's it, we really can't afford to offend them."
"I still don't believe that I can be defeated by a woman."
Zhou Jiu walked around the room unconvinced.
Cheng Xiaowu rolled his eyes secretly and thought to himself, in the beginning, you were eager to cooperate with Zhang Dongjia, but he put forward conditions and you refused to agree.
You are just thinking about getting something for nothing. There is no such good thing.
Humph, if you had agreed back then, you would be the one counting money in the shop now.
When Cheng Xiaowu thought of the crowded situation in Manager Wan’s new shop, he felt a pain in his heart.
He glanced at their shop again, but alas, he didn't see a single person.
It’s really true that comparing yourself to others will make you feel the thief of frustration!
Zhou Jiu stepped forward and kicked him, "What are you still standing there for? Come out with me."
Cheng Xiaowu quickly chased after him, "Master, where are you going?"
"I don't need to tell you where I'm going."
"That's not what I meant."
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Jiu no longer paid any attention to Cheng Xiaowu and walked forward alone.
When Cheng Xiaowu looked up, he knew something bad was going to happen.
He didn't want Zhou Jiu to see the situation in Manager Wan's shop, otherwise, the day would be difficult.
He rolled his eyes quickly, trying to come up with a good solution that would satisfy both parties as soon as possible.
Just as Cheng Xiaowu expected, when Zhou Jiu came to Wan Xi's new shop and saw the crowded scene, he was so angry that he had nothing to say.
Cheng Xiaowu didn't dare to go forward and just followed from a distance.
After a long time, Zhou Jiu reacted, "Xiao Wu, let's go in and taste the fish."
Today, Cheng Xiaowu didn't want to accompany Zhou Jiu to eat fish, after all, Zhou Jiu was in a bad mood.
He said tentatively, "Master, how about we go sit with Miss Zhang?
You haven't been there for a long time, and Miss Zhang has asked about it many times."
"That's fine! She didn't get to eat fish when we went to the county town that day. I'll take her out to eat fish someday."
Only then did Cheng Xiaowu breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhou Jiu didn't walk far when he ran into Fang Lan.
Judging from Fang Lan's expression, she was waiting for him on purpose!
"Sister-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Fang Lan snorted, "You're such a busy person! It took me a while to find you."
What annoyed Zhou Jiu the most was Fang Lan's tone of voice. Just as he was about to retort, Fang Lan spoke first, "Are you jealous of others making money?"
Zhou Jiu raised his head and glanced at Fang Lan fiercely, "Sister-in-law, if you have nothing else to do, I will go back first."
"I remember your home is in the other direction!
Are you going to Miss Zhang's house?
To be honest, what good is there in being a concubine abandoned by the Li family? "
Zhou Jiu didn't want to endure it anymore, he pushed Fang Lan into a corner, "Should I be the one asking you this?
If Miss Zhang is not a good person, there is no need for sister-in-law to worry about her. She should make peace with the third young master.
And let the Third Young Master marry her in a formal ceremony and bring her home in grand style."
Fang Lan avoided his gaze guiltily, "How did you know this?
Did that little bitch Zhang Qiuye tell you?
I tell you, that little bitch is so arrogant. Who the hell is she? Just a concubine who was kicked out of the house.
My son Sanle is obviously a scholar, but she still looks down on him.
What about you?
I'm your sister-in-law, and I'm doing this for your own good. Just give up on this idea as soon as possible!
She doesn’t have you in her heart at all.”
"Whether she has me in her heart or not, there's no need for my sister-in-law to worry about it.
Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
"It's not me who's looking for you, it's that useless guy in my family who's looking for you."
"Sister-in-law, I advise you to be nicer to my elder brother.
Believe it or not, I will stop giving you money right now and give it to my elder brother to buy him a maid who can serve others."
Fang Lan immediately gave in, "We are not outsiders anymore.
You don’t understand me yet. I may have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don’t take it to heart.
You have to understand me. I serve your elder brother at home every day. Good people can also be driven crazy.
Good brother, your elder brother is waiting for you at home, let’s go back quickly!
Don’t keep him waiting anxiously.”
Zhou Jiu stepped aside, and Fang Lan took the opportunity to run out. "Good brother, I'll go buy some food and cook it for you guys later."
Zhou Jiu ignored Fang Lan and walked forward on his own.
Passing by a delicatessen, Zhou Jiu asked Cheng Xiaowu to buy Liu Hong his favorite food as usual.
By the way, he asked Cheng Xiaowu to get a gourd of wine.
“My eldest brother is the best at this.
Alas, he is getting worse day by day."
Cheng Xiaowu opened his lips and said, "Master, you are really good to Master Liu!
Better than his family!"
"As a man, I relied heavily on my elder brother's support back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to live the life I have today.
Alas, what a cruel fate!
If Big Brother is fine, maybe I'll have someone to talk to."
Cheng Xiaowu rolled his eyes, "Master, Master Liu just can't move, but his brain is fine!
You can also talk to him about this matter!"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"
When Liu Hong saw Zhou Jiu, he burst into tears excitedly, "My good brother!"
When Liu Hong had almost finished crying, Zhou Jiu finally put on a stern face and said, "If you cry again, I'm leaving."
"Don't!
You brought me some food, I'm hungry."
Cheng Xiaowu handed the food over and served Liu Hong while he started eating.
"I like this one, it's delicious!"
Zhou Jiu frowned, "How long has it been since you last had anything to eat?"
