Upstairs, Wu Dahai was entertaining a group of wealthy young men. The waiters in the restaurant were so afraid of these young men that they dared not serve them food or greet them, for fear of being beaten half to death by them for no reason.
Several of the waiters in their restaurant have been injured by this group of people. Last time they came to eat, they broke Wu Dahai's head, causing him to bleed a lot, and he still hasn't recovered!
However, these young masters were very generous with their money, spending several taels of silver each time they came to their restaurant. So the restaurant manager still arranged for two people to go and serve them. Since the people who came to spend money were all big shots, they had to be treated well.
One of these two was Wu Dahai. Wu Dahai was quick-witted and eloquent, so he was highly regarded by the restaurant owner. Whenever there were any difficult customers in the restaurant, the manager would usually send Wu Dahai to take their place.
Wu Dahai was also very capable, attracting a lot of customers to the restaurant. As a result, Wu Dahai's wages were the highest among the helpers every month, sometimes reaching one or two taels of silver. Usually, his wages were stable at six or seven hundred coins. However, this was still quite high compared to the other helpers, whose monthly wages were usually less than four hundred coins.
Wu Dahai walked out of the private room, and the other waiter, who hadn't dared to go in, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wu Dahai was alright for the time being.
Another waiter said, "Brother Dahai, why don't we just not go in? Let the managers go in and deal with them, and we can all be punished together. Look at you, you were injured by them a few days ago and you're still not healed. If you go in again, you might have to stay in bed recovering."
Wu Dahai said, "I'd better go in. If I treat them well, I can get a good reward! Grain prices have gone up again, so I need to earn more money. Once my injuries heal, I'm going home and quitting this job. I should make as much money as I can while I can before I go back!"
As soon as Chen Xiaohua went upstairs, she saw her husband come out of a private room. He had a wound on his forehead. Chen Xiaohua was furious. Who dared to hit her husband? She was about to go over when she was stopped by Chen Lao Er's wife.
Chen Lao Er's wife whispered in Chen Xiaohua's ear, "Third sister, don't be impulsive. Let Xiaobao go downstairs and call everyone up. It'll be easier to get things done with more people."
Chen Lao Er's wife sent Xiao Bao downstairs to call for help. She pulled Chen Xiao Hua aside to wait, and Chen Xiao Hua became even angrier when she heard their conversation.
Wu Xiaobao ran downstairs crying and said, "My dad was beaten up, and my aunt wants you all to come up with me."
Uncle Zhou's son picked up Xiao Bao and said, "Let's go, grab whatever weapons you have, let's go fight."
When Chen Lao Er's wife saw that they had all come up, she let go of Chen Xiaohua.
As soon as Chen Xiaohua was released, she immediately led the group angrily toward her husband.
Just as Wu Dahai was about to go to the kitchen to get the dishes, he saw his wife and son, as well as his wife's family members, and a large group of people following behind his wife.
Wu Dahai was still a little confused as to why his wife was here. However, he immediately thought of the injury on his head and thought to himself, "Oh no!" Knowing his wife's temper, if she knew how he got injured, she would definitely start a fight with the group of people in the private room.
Wu Dahai immediately walked quickly to his wife, took her hand, and said, "Honey, don't be impulsive. I'm fine. Why don't you take them to the backyard first? I'll come over when I'm done with my work, okay?"
Chen Xiaohua pulled her hand away from Wu Dahai's and said angrily, "No!"
They had already gone into the private room. Wu Dahai said anxiously, "Don't cause trouble, Second Sister-in-law, please take them out quickly."
Several waiters saw that they were about to cause trouble and tried to come over, but they were all pushed away. Chen Xiaohua stopped her husband from going over.
Wu Xiaobao also clung to his father's leg and said, "Dad, don't go over there."
Inside the private room, a group of people saw so many people enter and immediately started yelling, "Where have you all been? Who let you in!"
Chen Lao Er's wife didn't listen to what they were saying. Seeing that almost all of them had gone inside, leaving only two people to watch the door, she immediately closed the door from the outside. After they went inside, they grabbed their things and started fighting.
The young men inside were caught off guard and were hit squarely, immediately emitting screams of pain.
"Ahhh..."
After being beaten, the young men in the room immediately grabbed their weapons and began to fight back, turning the room into chaos.
These young masters are used to throwing their weight around. They're always surrounded by servants, and no one dares to fight back when they beat someone. But this time, they've met their match. Their family members are seasoned fighters, and they won't hold back. You'd be lucky if they were spared a single breath.
Hearing the screams from inside the house, Chen Xiaohua gradually calmed down and felt much better.
A manager rushed over and cursed, "You country bumpkins, how dare you cause trouble in our restaurant? You're asking for trouble! You can't afford to offend anyone inside, so get out of my way right now!"
At this moment, the waiters came over with sticks, the restaurant owner rushed over, and the customers in the restaurant also came over to watch the excitement.
The restaurant owner said anxiously, "Dahai! Why don't you tell your wife to move aside? Do you still want your wages?!"
Wu Dahai looked at his wife with a conflicted expression and said, "Honey! Why don't we ask them to stop?"
Chen Xiaohua said angrily, "Shut up!"
With her hands on her hips and her head held high, Chen Xiaohua said to the restaurant owner, "Why are you asking me this? Boss, my husband was doing so well at your restaurant, and look how he got a cut on his head! Your restaurant has to compensate us for his medical expenses."
The restaurant owner angrily said, "Get everyone out of here!"
Seeing that the restaurant owner didn't want to pay their medical expenses, Chen Xiaohua snorted and said, "You won't pay our medical expenses, huh! Then don't blame us, smash everything!"
After Chen Xiaohua finished speaking, she grabbed a chair from the side and started smashing things. The two people at the door also joined in and started fighting with the restaurant's helpers.
When Chen Lao Er's wife saw that Chen Xiao Hua had already started, she shoved Xiao Bao into the crowd of onlookers and then joined in, smashing and destroying things everywhere.
When Wu Dahai couldn't stop them, he saw that the people in the restaurant were going to beat his wife, so he joined in the trouble, smashing and destroying things everywhere. He didn't care about his wages, but he was determined to protect his wife.
