Chapter 103 I'll make their whole family hold their engagement banquet with limpses on their legs.
In the morning, most of the people entering and leaving Shengyuan were servants from wealthy families who came to pick up roast chicken or glutinous rice cakes.
The customers who come to eat usually arrive close to noon.
At this moment, several inconspicuous carriages were parked at the gate, and the people coming in and out were either carrying wine jars bearing the "Shengyuan" logo or food boxes containing roast chicken.
In a corner not far away, three men, one old and two young, were huddled together, acting suspiciously. They were Kong Dazhuang, Liu Zhuzi, and Liu Shitou.
"Father, we've only been here for less than half an hour, and seven or eight carriages have already arrived. How much money will we make in a day!"
Liu Shitou stared enviously at the entrance of Shengyuan Garden. When he saw two more people carrying two jars onto the car, he almost couldn't resist rushing into the gate.
"Zhizhi was right. Everyone who comes here is rich. They must earn dozens of taels of silver a day."
Liu Zhuzi couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes filled with naked greed: "Father, one hundred taels of silver is too little, you have to get the jinx to give you three hundred taels!"
With three hundred taels of silver, he could build a large brick house, marry a beautiful city woman and have a son, and sleep with all the sluts in the brothel.
Kong Dazhuang, however, seemed somewhat hesitant, lacking the confidence he had when he arrived: "Does this house really belong to the unfilial daughter? Where did she get so much money? Could it be that Zhizhi has made a mistake?"
Seeing that her father seemed unwilling to go over, Liu Shitou suddenly became anxious: "Father, Second Sister saw it with her own eyes, how could she be wrong! Maybe she's just indecent and has hooked up with a rich man, and the house was given to her by him!"
Kong Dazhuang didn't quite believe it: "Her husband is a scholar, how could he allow her to have an affair?"
Liu Zhuzi also got anxious: "Father, no matter how she got the house, it's a fact that she makes a lot of money every day. Do you want to just watch her live a life of luxury while you drag your lame leg around for the rest of your life?"
These words struck Kong Dazhuang squarely where it hurt.
"No, my leg can still be treated. I must find the best doctor to treat my leg!"
With red eyes, Kong Dazhuang stared intently at the gate of Shengyuan Garden. Before Liu Zhuzi and Liu Shitou could continue to urge him on, he limped towards Shengyuan Garden.
Liu Zhuzi and Liu Shitou exchanged a glance and then chased after them without prior arrangement.
Following Sheng An's instructions, Shu Mo and Shu Yan remained inside the door, vigilantly watching the outside.
Almost as soon as Kong Dazhuang and his son appeared, the two realized that they were there to cause trouble.
"What are you doing!"
Shumo immediately stepped forward and sternly stopped Kong Dazhuang and the other two who were trying to barge in.
He was tall and imposing, and his stern face was particularly intimidating.
Kong Dazhuang was startled and staggered back two steps, stepping on Liu Shitou's instep.
Liu Shitou winced in pain and instinctively shoved Kong Dazhuang.
Ouch!
Kong Dazhuang, who already had a limp, stepped on Liu Shitou's foot and lost his balance. With the push, he immediately fell to the ground and hit his head on the threshold.
The sudden turn of events not only stunned Liu Shitou and Liu Zhuzi, but also surprised Shu Mo and Shu Yan inside the door.
They haven't even made a move yet, so why are these three fighting amongst themselves?
Liu Shitou realized what was happening and hurriedly went to help Kong Dazhuang up from the ground: "Dad, Dad, are you alright?"
Kong Dazhuang's forehead was not bleeding, but a bump the size of a quail egg had formed.
He couldn't bear to scold his son, but his fingers trembled as he pointed at the inkstone and the writing brush, and cursed, "You two clueless bastards, do you even know who I am!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Mo's face turned even darker than his name: "Where did this bastard come from, daring to act like a big shot in Sheng Garden? If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, or I'll have to take action!"
Having said that, he picked up a stick and pointed it at Kong Dazhuang and the other two.
Shu Yan didn't just stand there; he immediately picked up a large broom and blocked the other side of the gate, saying, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly: this is Sheng Garden, not a place for you to run wild!"
Liu Shitou, being young and unable to hold back, immediately stepped forward, pointing at the inkstone and the inkstone and shouting, "How dare you insult us! When you see my sister later, I'll have her beat you to death!"
elder sister?
Shu Mo and Shu Yan exchanged a glance, unsure who the older sister Liu Shitou was referring to was.
Liu Shitou thought they were scared, so he put his hands on his hips and shouted arrogantly, "Sheng An is my own sister! How dare you stop her brother and father? You're asking for trouble!"
In the past, Sheng'an was Sheng'an from Huai Shu Village. She had no mother to protect her, and her father didn't want her either. Liu Shitou never called her sister, and would even imitate Liu Huazhi and call her a jinx.
Now, Sheng An is the owner of Sheng Garden, earning a lot of money every day. Liu Shitou seems to have developed amnesia, forgetting his past actions, and shamelessly came to his door to claim kinship.
"Who doesn't know that the owner of Shengyuan Garden is an orphan, raised by the old master and old lady with great difficulty? How dare you impersonate the master's father and brother! Shuyan, throw these three troublemakers out!"
Shumo gave Shuyan a wink, then shouted and raised his stick, lunging at Liu Shitou, who was yelling the loudest.
Shu Yan understood immediately and scolded in an even more exaggerated tone: "If you come to beg for food, then beg for food. It's not like we won't give you food. Impersonating my master to swindle money is really too much. You deserve to be beaten!"
After saying that, he raised a large broom and started smashing it down on Kong Dazhuang and Liu Zhuzi, who had no time to react.
Several servants who came to pick up goods were inside and outside the gate. At first, they did not understand the situation. Upon hearing Shumo and Shuyan's words, they immediately cast disdainful glances at Kong Dazhuang and the other two.
Good heavens, someone impersonating the owner of Shengyuan's own father and brother to swindle money in broad daylight. Are scammers this brazen these days?
"No, I'm not a scammer, I really am your boss's biological father, oh my—"
Kong Dazhuang never expected things to turn out this way. While awkwardly dodging, he loudly defended himself. Because of his limp, he was unsteady on his feet and was hit on the head and face several times, making him grimace in pain.
"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! Help! Oh my god, help! He's killing someone—"
Liu Zhuzi and Liu Shitou wanted to resist, but they had no weapons. Facing the strong and robust Shu Mo Shu Yan, they could only passively take the beating and could only cry out for their mothers and run away with their heads in their hands.
None of the onlookers pitied them; instead, they all encouraged Shumo and Shuyan: "Beat them up! Beat them hard! Make them afraid so they won't dare to come and swindle money again!"
Shu Mo and Shu Yan dared not really kill him, otherwise, if they beat someone seriously and it went to the authorities, not only would they be punished, but the entire Sheng Garden would also be implicated.
Kong Dazhuang and his two companions were unarmed and were beaten into the alley with sticks and brooms. Their cries were so mournful that they sounded like they had lost their fathers.
Seeing the fear in their eyes, Shu Mo and Shu Yan stopped fighting in perfect unison and spat at the three of them fiercely:
"I'll spare you from being beaten to death or maimed because this is your first offense. But if you dare to cause trouble again, I'll make sure you don't even know how you died!"
This is obviously a threat; they are not so audacious as to disregard human life.
Kong Dazhuang and his two companions believed it to be true, their swollen and bruised faces filled with terror.
Shumo Shuyan was satisfied with their reaction, and spat again before turning away with satisfaction.
"Waaah, I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have come, waaah, I didn't get a single penny and even got beaten up, waaah..."
Liu Shitou was in excruciating pain all over his body. This was the first time he had ever been beaten so badly in his life. He cried so hard that his face was covered in snot and tears.
Liu Zhuzi was also frustrated. Hearing his younger brother crying, he raised his hand to slap him, but his arm hurt too much. He gasped and cursed, "That jinx is too ruthless!"
Kong Dazhuang hugged himself tightly, curling into a ball. The bruises on his face were even more frightening than those on his two sons' faces: "Unfilial daughter, unfilial daughter, why doesn't God send down lightning to strike her dead!"
If the unfilial daughter dies, perhaps the house and money she left behind will belong to him.
Even if you don't get all of it, you can still get half.
Half the silver was enough to ensure he would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life and no longer have to put up with that old woman, Peng Chunlan.
No matter how unwilling or angry the three of them were, they could not change the fact that they could not even enter the gate of Shengyuan. They could only shrink in the corner and rage helplessly.
Shumo stayed behind to open the door, and Shuyan went to the main kitchen to explain the situation to Sheng'an.
Kong Dazhuang's arrival was within Sheng An's expectations. He timely displayed surprise and anger, praising Shu Mo and Shu Yan's handling of the situation and offering a plausible explanation:
"Nine times out of ten, someone is jealous of Shengyuan's business and instigated these three people to cause trouble and ruin Shengyuan's reputation."
Shuyan suddenly realized that this was the truth.
The person behind it was just too stupid. They didn't even find out the master's background before sending people to impersonate the master's father and brothers. It's laughable.
If all bosses were this stupid, Shengyuan would have no rivals.
No, Shengyuan has no rivals now. Many of the wealthy customers from those big restaurants have become repeat customers of Shengyuan, and they send people to make reservations every now and then.
If Shengyuan didn't only have one head chef, and the number of guests they could serve each day wasn't limited, they would have already snatched up all the other guests.
Kong Dazhuang and the other two were beaten up, but Sheng An was still very angry.
Lying in bed that night, she asked Xu Jinnian for help: "Find me a few reliable men to go to Huai Shu Village and break the legs of Kong Dazhuang and his two sons."
Having said that, thinking that Liu Huazhi and her daughter were not innocent either, Sheng An's eyes grew even colder: "That mother and daughter cannot be let off either. I will make their whole family hold their engagement banquet with limpses."
A family should be together!
Xu Jinnian pulled her into his arms and agreed without hesitation: "Okay."
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Sheng An was a little worried: "We must find someone reliable and tight-lipped, and we absolutely cannot let that family find any fault with us."
Xu Jin patted his wife's back and said, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
Sheng An trusted in men's abilities and nestled comfortably in his arms, complaining, "Isn't it better to just live your own lives peacefully? Why do you all have to come looking for trouble?"
Xu Jinnian succinctly put it: "It's just greed."
Sheng An looked into his eyes and asked, "Kong Dazhuang is my biological father after all. If I treat him like this, won't you think I'm vicious?"
Xu Jinnian kissed her lips: "How could that be?"
An'an is still too soft-hearted. If he were to take action, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing a leg.
Sheng An, unaware of the man's thoughts, wrapped her arms around his waist with satisfaction: "This way, we can be considered a wife leading and a husband following."
