Chapter 197 Guarding the Shop
"It's not right for you to say that. After all, you rented my shop, and I am your boss. It's ok for you not to flatter us, but you dare to talk to us like this. Haha, do you still want to renew the lease? I see that your business is doing well. If you move out, I'm afraid that this transaction will not be possible."
Bai Qianshan's face fell instantly, and he looked at Zhang Jinlan with his eyes squinted.
He bit his cheek hard and threatened his son.
"Master? What kind of master are you? We rented your shop, not sold ourselves to you. You are just daydreaming. You are just a broken peach. If you want to pick it, pick it yourself. If you don't want to pick it, go home. You keep making trouble all the time. No wonder the shop couldn't be rented out in the first place. I tell you, we will move out when the lease is up. You can't threaten me at all."
Zhang Jinlan sneered.
He cursed back without hesitation.
Wan Zhen on the side did not interrupt.
She was looking around to see how the Jiang family prepared food.
He has a sneaky look, and looks so disgusting no matter how you look at him.
"Okay, you guys go, don't delay our business. Eryong, send them out. If they make trouble again, even if I don't do the business, I will have to go to the police to make trouble, otherwise others will think that we are easy to bully."
It seems as if he is the only one who threatens people.
Zhang Jinlan took a rolling pin and knocked it hard on the table.
The sound is very loud.
Wan Zhen was so scared that he trembled.
When his mother spoke, Jiang Eryong rolled up his sleeves, revealing the tendons on his arms bulging. As he exerted force with his arms, the muscles actually twitched twice.
Wan swallowed her saliva, not knowing whether she was afraid or greedy.
The two dared not make trouble anymore.
He just uttered a few harsh words and left from the backyard.
"Mom, I always feel that they will sneak into the shop at night when we are not here to rummage around. All our food is here. Otherwise, we should take the food home during this period. With a bullock cart, it won't take much effort. It's just a bit troublesome to carry it back and forth every day."
Zhang Yanzi looked uneasy as she spoke.
Just before the Wan couple left.
Look into their eyes.
Like a poisonous scorpion.
They will not let this go.
Maybe he was interested in his business, so Wan used peaches as an excuse to come here again and again.
Otherwise, she really couldn't believe that someone who owned a shop in such a good location would treasure a worthless peach tree so much.
The quarrel between the two families today is completely a falling out.
Mr. Wan probably won’t be coming in the short term.
But...the seasonings, mung beans, flour and other things were all placed in the shop, and there was no one guarding it.
If the Wan couple had evil thoughts, they would break into the shop under the cover of night.
What if these things are stolen?
Zhang Yanzi thought more and more.
I started pacing unconsciously.
"Well, Yan Zi is right. From today on, when we go back, we must take everything with us, including the flour and mung beans. What if they poison the food? If they kill the guests, we won't be able to explain ourselves even if we have ten mouths."
Zhang Jinlan did not take her daughter-in-law's words lightly.
She thought for a moment and confirmed Zhang Yanzi's guess.
Also agreed with her suggestion.
"Mom, not only do we have to take the things away, but we can't use the water in the well either. The water could be poisoned."
After seeing the couple off, Jiang Eryong lifted the curtain and walked back, just in time to hear his mother's words.
He said quickly.
"Yes, Eryong is right. The water can't be used anymore. Let's go get some from the river. They can't poison the river. Be careful in the future. Wash the pots and pans every day and rinse them several times before using them. Oh, when I think about it, I'm completely worried. Eryong, starting tomorrow, you and your brother will sleep in the shop.
Bring your spare clothes tomorrow morning. What if the bamboo chopsticks are soaked with poison? It can't be washed out. This is a headache. I can rest assured with you two watching over it. When the lease is over, we will move out. Let's bear it for now. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Jinlan has a lot to consider.
Her brows were knitted together.
My family has little influence and lives outside the city.
Not familiar with the city.
If something really goes wrong, no one can help them.
The county magistrates above were replaced one after another.
Ever since she married into Jiangjia Village.
I don't know how many positions have been changed.
Who knows, the current one might be a greedy person.
If the Wan family used their money to bribe the county lord, even if there were many loopholes, their family would be doomed.
Rather than hanging your head on a knife edge.
It is better to avoid their frame-up in advance.
Zhang Jinlan took a look at her youngest son who was grilling skewers. Seeing how delicate and fragile he looked, she immediately looked away and handed the job of guarding the shop to her eldest and second sons.
"Okay, I'll go talk to my brother right away." Jiang Eryong said, then turned and went to the front of the shop.
Jiang Fubao was still struggling with how to persuade his family to be careful of the couple.
Relieved.
She didn't even utter a word.
Grandma had already made arrangements in advance.
It has to be said that although the Jiang family is illiterate and is the poorest farming family, their risk-avoidance ability is beyond reproach.
Just follow Grandma's process.
If Wan can still harm my family.
It was really God who wanted the Jiang family to die.
Jiang Fubao sat back in her chair with peace of mind. She was just a three-year-old girl, why should she worry so much? She should just enjoy her childhood.
Coincidentally, the skewers of meat were also grilled.
Jiang Siyin stuffed the string into his daughter's hands.
"My dear daughter, you must be very hungry. Come and eat."
Seeing his daughter taking the skewers, his narrow, red eyes slightly curved in a smile.
Jiang Fubao leaned back in his chair, kicking his legs back and forth playfully, holding a skewer of meat in each hand and eating with his head shaking.
It's as happy as a god.
Bai Qianshan and Wan Zhen, who left Jiang's snack shop, did not leave.
They hid in a deserted alley not far away, discussing in low voices.
"Did you see clearly just now how they made the food? Did you take out the secret recipe?"
Bai Qianshan hurriedly asked Xiang Wanzhen.
"No, there is no secret recipe. I guess they are illiterate. Besides, grilled mung bean soup and meat pie are not difficult to make. It's just putting meat and vegetables together, grilling them with thin bamboo sticks, and sprinkling some seasonings. And the meat pie is even simpler. Forget about the mung bean soup, it's no different from what we make at home.
I think it’s because our shop is in a good location that their business is booming. Have you forgotten that the restaurant that we opened earlier also has a good business? If we do business ourselves, it will definitely not be much worse, that’s it…”
Wan Zhen was halfway through his speech when he suddenly stopped.
"What is it? Tell me!"
Bai Qianshan was extremely anxious.
