Chapter 385: Let’s sort out the causes and consequences of the matter
Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Liu Da's red cheeks and wanted to slap him a few more times to wake him up.
Liu Da looked at the look in Shopkeeper Zhou's eyes, as if he understood something, and asked weakly, "Isn't it the reason I mentioned?"
Shopkeeper Zhou lowered his voice and asked, "Your family's affairs have caused a lot of uproar in the town, but have you never gone out to inquire about it?"
"How dare I go out! I..."
Liu Da didn't even sit on the chair, but squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and burst into tears like a grown man.
"Brother Zhou, I feel really wronged about this! I..."
Shopkeeper Zhou was speechless and could only sit in the chair and listen to Liu Da crying.
Liu Da's wife, Zhu Xiu'gu, could no longer stay outside and came in to persuade him, "Master, it's not like we can't make ends meet, why are you crying?
Our eldest son is not in good health, but our second son is good at studying!
Maybe I can become a scholar in the future!"
"Yes, my second son is a good student. Maybe he can pass the exam and become a high-ranking official in the future. Then he will be so angry that Liu Hong will die."
Liu Da wiped his tears, plopped down on his knees in front of Shopkeeper Zhou, and said, "Brother Zhou, please, you must sell my land to me.
I'm not really scared anymore, I just don't want to live in this town anymore.'
If I take my wife and children to a new environment, maybe I won’t have to worry about these things anymore.”
Shopkeeper Zhou stood up and helped Liu Da up. "Brother Liu, what are you doing? We've been friends for so many years, how can I not help you with this little favor?
I just feel sorry for you, so let’s just leave it at that.”
Liu Da was hesitant, but Zhu Xiu Gu looked at Shopkeeper Zhou firmly, "Brother Zhou, my husband and I haven't been able to go out for several days. We don't know what's going on outside.
Excuse me, Brother Zhou, could you tell me something?"
"That's right, there are some things you should know."
Shopkeeper Zhou picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, moistened his throat, and then spoke, "A smart person can figure this out if they think about it carefully.
What business is Liu Hong's family doing now?"
"Isn't his family a newly opened embroidery workshop?"
"Then do you know what the mother of this girl from the Wang family does for a living?"
Liu Da and Zhu Xiu'gu both shook their heads.
"I've found out for you that the girl from the Wang family's mother is an embroiderer, and she works at the Shengxia Embroidery Workshop."
Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Liu Da and Zhu Xiu Gu with an understanding look, "Did you hear anything?"
Zhu Xiu Gu was furious. "That bastard Liu Hong is always trying to steal business from Shengxia Embroidery Workshop. It seems he's using my family's affairs to hinder Shengxia Embroidery Workshop."
Shopkeeper Zhou nodded with satisfaction, "Brother Liu, your brain is not as good as my sister-in-law's!
From now on, it’s better for your brother and sister-in-law to be in charge of your family affairs.”
Liu Da slapped himself in the face again, "Brother Zhou is teaching me a lesson, I deserve to be beaten."
"Alright, boss, Brother Zhou has straightened things out for us. Just save your energy and go settle the score with Liu Hong!"
Shopkeeper Zhou then remembered the important matter, "Someone in our town has asked about your land.
But they think the price is a bit high, so let me ask you."
Zhu Xiu Gu asked with a clear mind, "Brother Zhou, how much did they bid?"
"I offered twelve taels of silver per mu, but they thought it was too high. I reduced the price by one tael per mu, but they still felt I wasn't sincere enough.
I had no choice but to come to you two.
After all, this land is yours, and you have to decide how much to pay."
"Brother Zhou, let my husband and I think about it and give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"
"Sure. I can see they really want to buy it, so I came to ask you two. Think about it carefully. If it really doesn't work out, you can meet and talk in person. It's better than me relaying messages back and forth."
"Okay, Brother Zhou. I'm really confused right now. Let's talk about this after I deal with Liu Hong, okay?"
When Shopkeeper Zhou heard this, he quickly got up and left. "It's already happened, so don't get too angry. After all, anger is bad for your health."
"I know, Brother Zhou, but I can't swallow this."
After seeing off Manager Zhou, Zhu Xiu'gu picked up her things and prepared to go out.
Liu Da didn't want to go, but Zhu Xiu'gu said a few words to him, "Liu Da, if you want to be bullied by Liu Hong for the rest of your life, then just be a coward.
This matter was originally caused by him. If he doesn't give us an explanation, I will never let him go!"
Liu Da took the things Zhu Xiu Gu handed him and followed Zhu Xiu Gu out the door.
Zhu Xiu'gu had already figured it out. Liu Hong's mouth was so sharp that he could even make the dead come alive.
If they confronted him face to face, they would probably have no chance of winning.
It would be better to just smash his shop.
Since he cared so much about the shop, she would destroy it.
"Boss, follow my lead. I'm telling you, don't talk too much, just move quickly, and leave as soon as you're done."
"I understand. I'll listen to you, my lady. We're leaving anyway, so we're not afraid of anything."
"My husband, you are wrong. Liu Hong was in the wrong in our family affairs. We were forced to sell our land and make a living elsewhere.
How can we just ignore him? We have to teach him a lesson."
"right!"
Liu Da and Zhu Xiu'gu encouraged each other and came to Xiucai Xiufang angrily. Without saying a word, they exchanged glances and smashed the shop to pieces.
By the time the people in the shop reacted, Liu Da and Zhu Xiu'gu had already finished smashing things.
Fang Lan was invited out from the backyard. "Liu Da, Zhu Xiu Gu, are you crazy?"
Zhu Xiu Gu looked at Fang Lan unwillingly, "Yes, we are crazy. You have driven us crazy."
Fang Lan looked at Zhu Xiu Gu mockingly, "What a joke! Don't take advantage of the fact that we're from the same family. You smashed my things, so I won't ask you to pay for it.
Zhu Xiu Gu, let me tell you, I spent a lot of money to set up this shop.
You and Liu Da keep the silver, and I will consider it nothing wrong.
If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
"Then I want to ask, why do you turn your back on me?"
"Come here, report to the government office and ask the officials to come over and ask them to come and see if you should compensate for this silver."
Zhu Xiu Gu looked at Fang Lan unwillingly, "Okay, please invite the official here quickly!
It just so happens that I also have grievances to appeal. People outside think that what happened to Miss Wang is our fault.
But the real mastermind behind this is you, Liu Hong. If he hadn't been pulling the strings, we wouldn't have been fooled."
Fang Lan looked at Zhu Xiu Gu with disdain, "If your own son doesn't have that fate, don't blame others."
Zhu Xiugu went crazy and grabbed Fang Lan's hair, "Say it again if you dare, or I'll tear your mouth apart.
I'm going all out today. Whoever doesn't go to court is a grandson."
