Xu Damao instigated Wu Wei to retaliate against Zheng Ya, and then left.
Xu Damao no longer cared what kind of revenge Zheng Ya would face from Wu Wei.
They assumed that Xu Damao, having spent so much time among women, had developed the ability to see through their true nature. They thought that Wu Wei was terrified by his observations, and that he would leave once he had achieved his goal of sowing discord, fearing that if he stayed, Wu Wei would give him a good dressing down.
Wu Wei exuded an invisible killing intent, and her arrogant and domineering aura was equally impressive.
This made Xu Damao feel that this woman was too domineering and not someone he could get his hands on, so leaving was the best option.
Wu Wei was almost furious, but when she came to her senses, she found that Xu Damao had already left. Just as she was about to head to Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, she was stopped by the cooperative's salesperson: "Hey, are you trying to run away because you don't have money to pay?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to attend to..." Wu Wei stopped rushing forward and turned around to explain.
But he was met with a sneer from the saleswoman: "I've seen plenty of people like you. I'll just tell you one thing: either pay up and take your things?"
"Or should you compensate for the losses and then leave?"
"Why are you like this, comrade?"
"I really have something urgent to deal with, and I can't bring these daily necessities to avoid making things difficult." Wu Wei was telling the truth.
Bringing a whole bunch of everyday items to Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant to catch someone cheating is inappropriate, isn't it?
But the sales clerk didn't care about her difficulties. She was only thinking about how she had gone past her get off work hours to help her buy daily necessities. She thought it was ridiculous to just give up like that!
If the saleswoman hadn't seen her in military uniform and worried that she might be from the army, and hadn't stayed late to help her buy things, she would have kicked her out long ago.
These days, being one of the "Eight Great Officials" is very popular.
Sales clerks are among the most comfortable and prestigious of the eight major professions, holding absolute power both inside and outside the sales counter.
Customers who come to buy things are very polite to them; otherwise, they'll just say, "We don't have any, it will be in a few days, come back next time." Are you scared yet?
After all, the cooperative is the only entity that sells daily necessities. If you want to find a second one, you might have to travel halfway across the city to find what you want.
Either don't buy it!
Since there's no other store selling goods, do you dare offend the salesperson?
Of course, you might be able to buy some goods at the black market pigeon market, but that would have to wait until night and risk getting caught.
We've gone off on a tangent.
Getting back to the point, the saleswoman had been putting up with him for a long time, and he glared at her without backing down.
Wu Wei was getting anxious. Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, she took out her money to pay the bill: "Okay then, I'll pay, alright?"
"Hmm, that's more like it. Just letting you know, if you can't carry your things, take them to the guesthouse 50 meters to the left of the street. It'll be fine if you leave them there. The amount is right, we're even!" The saleswoman counted the money, turned around, and left, ignoring her completely.
Wu Wei was eager to settle accounts with Zheng Ya, so she angrily grabbed the purchased goods, slung them over her shoulder, and rushed to the guesthouse.
At this moment, Zheng Ya and his six companions finished eating the roast duck and got up to pay the bill. While the manager was counting the money and receipts, he told Zheng Ya that Doctor Sun had sent a message saying that they appreciated his thoughtfulness and that he should be there on time the day after tomorrow, so as not to be late.
It seems that Grandpa Sun is very satisfied with his last disciple.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be said like this!
They didn't mention the roast duck at all.
This shows that Grandpa Sun accepted the gift with a smile and didn't stand on ceremony with his apprentice.
Your filial piety is commendable. Let's encourage you to focus on your work to show our concern.
That's enough!
Zheng Ya, satisfied, carried the packaged roast duck and joined Xu Qi and the others as they walked out of the glass doors of Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant.
Many employees in the shop pointed behind Zheng Ya and recounted the amazing knife skills he displayed, leaving behind a lasting legend.
The group walked onto the street, and Xu Qi handed the sleeping Bao'er to Xu Huizhen, saying, "How about you take care of Bao'er for the night?"
"Haha, are you eloping with your brother-in-law?" Xu Huizhen complained, taking Bao'er's hand. "You're really beholden to someone who feeds you!"
Cheng Xueru, who was standing to the side, chimed in, "Isn't this inappropriate? You two aren't married yet."
"Yes, it's because we're not married that a fiancée suddenly appeared, forcing me to go home with him to defend my rights!" Xu Qi's words had a double meaning, and her intention to drive her away was obvious.
When women clash, it's best for men to step aside.
Zheng Ya wisely slowed his pace, falling three meters behind, so as not to interrupt their women's conversation. This made Cheng Xueru feel uncomfortable, and she said irritably, "What are you talking to me about defending your sovereignty?"
I haven't taken your measurements yet, I need to rush to make the clothes..."
"I trust Mr. Chen's eye for size; he wouldn't have measured the wrong size for the set of century-old vintage wine, right?" Xu Qi retorted sharply, determined not to give her the chance to touch her man's body.
Then, by throwing out a century-old vintage wine to choke Cheng Xueru, he was confident that Cheng Xueru would fall for it.
Seeing that Zheng Ya had no intention of speaking up for her, Cheng Xueru said resentfully, "Fine, fine, you've already said it, my eyesight is very accurate."
I've memorized all the measurements I took; there won't be any mistakes, so don't worry.
This isn't doing business, it's a declaration of war!
If someone keeps something in mind and then tries to put it at ease, how can you really feel at ease?
Xu Qi was so angry at her words that she almost cursed out loud. What kind of person is she? How can she be so blatant in stealing someone else's man?
Despite her anger, Xu Qi didn't show it. She stopped, raised her hand to say goodbye, and said, "Alright, I won't see you off. Let's part ways here."
"Okay, that's fine. Be careful!" Xu Huizhen knew about Wu Wei's presence and was somewhat worried about Xu Qi.
From Zheng Ya's honest disclosure of Wu Wei's existence to Xu Qi, Xu Huizhen realized that Zheng Ya was a virtuous gentleman.
This made Xu Huizhen both envious of Xu Qi for having such a good man as Zheng Ya, and worried that Xu Qi wouldn't understand Wu Wei.
After all, Wu Wei's background was quite impressive, which made Xu Huizhen feel scared. Otherwise, she would have wanted to compete with Xu Qi for Zheng Ya, this good man.
Unfortunately, these are things I can only think about and keep to myself.
If it weren't for her daughter Jingli being a hindrance, Xu Huizhen might have gone back to fight for it. Having a daughter makes her more hesitant and less willing to take the risk!
Cheng Xueru, on the other hand, left with many turns back, genuinely unwilling to let go of Zheng Ya, such a good man, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it, and she was extremely anxious.
The group left, each with their own thoughts.
This prompted Wu Wei to rush to Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, only to find it empty, and she angrily rushed back.
Zheng Ya was completely unaware of Wu Wei's plan to catch her in the act of adultery. As she walked home with Xu Qi, she said, "Do you know what you'll face if you come home with me?"
"Yes, if I didn't know what I would be facing, I wouldn't have entrusted Bao'er to Sister Huizhen's care." Xu Qi knew she couldn't avoid it.
Women are best suited to deal with women. She didn't want Zheng Ya to deal with Wu Wei. If he won, it would be bullying a woman; if he lost, he would be a man who was inferior to a woman. Winning or losing, it would still be a loss.
Otherwise, why would Wu Wei be so arrogant and domineering?
That's all thanks to women's innate advantages, combined with the power of the Women's Federation today. They're not people men can bully.
Therefore, Xu Qi decided to take the blame for Wu Wei for Zheng Ya, but the consequences were unpredictable...
