Among the crowd, a man suddenly shuddered.
Those who looked over immediately chuckled: "Oh ho, Liu Mang, so you're here too? What's wrong? Aren't you going to save your nephew?"
Isn't Liu Mang the owner of that seafood restaurant?
He had really lost face here today, and his eyes were practically spitting fire as he looked at Wan Suizhou.
Unfortunately, they were in the wrong and were afraid of getting into a lawsuit, so he could only lower his head and grit his teeth to squeeze out a few words: "I'll pay compensation."
Wan Suizhou gave a forced smile: "Then let's invite Mr. Liu in so we can discuss the compensation amount in detail."
After all, Tiger's poisoning attempt failed, and if he were sent to the authorities, he probably wouldn't be convicted.
So Wan Suizhou figured he could take this opportunity to make a quick buck and teach this guy a lesson.
In the end, I got what I wanted.
The seafood restaurant staff left dejectedly, but the matter was far from over.
The village women, who were usually very gossipy, made this the subject of their conversation.
Wan Suijin's family had been out of rice and flour for several days. Zhao Damei was strolling around the village, trying to figure out where to go and beg for some food.
But I never expected to hear this while I was squatting by the wall.
He immediately stopped feeling hungry and headed towards the seafood restaurant in the south of the village without saying a word.
The seafood restaurant owner, Liu Mang, was troubled by what happened at Wanjia Restaurant a few days ago.
He looked up and saw a woman's face covered in wrinkles in front of him. Startled, he dropped the abacus he was holding.
It landed right on Zhao Damei's nose.
She cried out in pain and tumbled to the ground.
"My back is ruined by that punch!"
Liu Mang, who had finally come to his senses, suddenly twitched his eyelids.
He was terrified just now, but now that he saw clearly, he recognized the person in front of him as Zhao Damei. Her family was dirt poor, and she'd often caused trouble at his seafood restaurant. She'd ruin his business if he didn't pay her; she was incredibly annoying.
I heard that her husband's family name is also Wan.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang suddenly felt that he was going to have a showdown with the man surnamed Wan.
His expression turned even more unpleasant.
"You scared me yourself, and if you fall, who can you blame? Don't even think about swindling any more money from me."
Seeing that Zhao Damei still didn't get up, he rolled his eyes and added, "Besides, I hit your nose just now, it has nothing to do with your waist."
Being so blatantly exposed, even Zhao Damei, with her shamelessness, couldn't maintain her composure.
He awkwardly touched his nose and stood up, his expression becoming somewhat obsequious.
"Isn't this just a joke to our big boss, Mr. Liu?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mang's lips twitched.
He sneered, "I'm here to run a business. If you want to pick a fight, go somewhere else. Don't get in my way."
He grabbed a broom and tried to shoo them away.
Seeing that he didn't give her any face at all, Zhao Damei's fawning expression vanished instantly, and she narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her waist.
Then stand in front of the door.
It looks exactly like a door god; even ghosts would avoid it at night.
Not to mention that Liu Mang runs a business, and with such a troublemaker in front of his door, probably not a single customer will be able to get in today!
He was so angry he wanted to slap someone, but before he could speak, Zhao Damei spoke first.
"Liu Mang, listen to me! Don't think that you're letting it go just because your nephew tried to poison my niece!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mang, who had just been about to drive the man away, was stunned.
He paused, his broom hand stilling, and looked up at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Zhao Damei, however, was not afraid at all, and continued to spout nonsense with her head held high:
"I'm telling you, I'm going to report this to the authorities! I'm going to put your nephew in jail!"
Those words sounded quite serious.
But Liu Mang just gave a cold laugh.
"Go ahead and report it to the authorities. What does it have to do with me?"
He had long disliked Tiger and had originally thought that keeping him around would allow him to do some shady things, but who would have thought that he couldn't even beat a three-year-old child.
He would be more than happy to be sent to jail.
Perhaps surprised that Liu Mang could be so heartless towards his nephew, Zhao Damei's face showed a hint of panic.
However, he quickly regained his composure: "Do you think you can escape responsibility after reporting this to the authorities? After all, you were the one who sent him to cause trouble at Wanjia Restaurant, and you were also involved in the poisoning!"
Zhao Damei was spouting nonsense, but Liu Mang was indeed ignorant of the law.
She actually managed to trap him.
After thinking it over, he realized that it wouldn't be worth going to jail for this.
His eyes immediately turned cold: "How can you avoid reporting this to the authorities?"
After saying that, Zhao Damei's eyes lit up immediately: "Give me five taels of silver, and I'll..."
"good!"
As if afraid she might change her mind, Liu Mang agreed before Zhao Damei could finish speaking.
However, the muscles in his face seemed to be hesitantly happy.
The thought that he had not only been swindled out of his money by Wan Suizhou because of this incident, but also extorted by Zhao Damei again filled him with resentment.
After thinking for a moment, he took out paper and pen: "Let's put this in writing. If you take this money, it will be considered that we have settled this privately."
Otherwise, who can handle this endless stream of demands for money?
Zhao Damei got the money, and her face beamed with joy.
There was no room for reluctance, and he quickly pressed his fingerprint on the document.
Clutching the silver, he happily skipped away.
Liu Mang was initially happy that the matter was finally resolved, but after a while, he began to feel increasingly uneasy.
