Chapter 77 Chapter 77 The woman smiled and said, "Hello Hongguo, Gu Chang...
Hongguo felt that it was the angry words that made his fish angry, and it swallowed the proprietress, making her unable to breathe.
The boss thought his wife was having a seizure and was so scared that he asked the waiter to make a phone call.
Human life can never be taken so casually. Hong Guo was calculating the time and was about to remind Xiao Bitian when the proprietress suddenly began to breathe. She was shouting with greedy breath and she couldn't even tell what was going on.
She looked at Jiang Hongguo, feeling a little scared, and suddenly thought that it was because a fellow villager from Jiang Hongguo's village worked in her restaurant that the coal boss's son-in-law came so far to find her, not because she was lucky.
If the coal boss had a way, he would have dealt with Jiang Hongguo directly. Why would he run so far to embarrass a fellow villager? This was to test how much sympathy Jiang Hongguo had. She was being used.
Even though it's exploitation, if the job is done well, at worst the restaurant can be closed and the coal boss can make money and open any number of restaurants to make back the profit.
The proprietress thought it through and made a decision that she thought was the right one. She stood up and changed the call for emergency assistance to a call for the police.
Why call the police? The policeman who coordinated last time is here. He can’t stand it and tells the restaurant owner to quit while he’s ahead.
"It's not easy for a student to work and study. Don't be too ruthless. The court will not rule in your favor. You want to make this child be pointed at in school and make his parents who work in the countryside unable to sleep. Don't be so vicious."
The boss had already regretted his decision and kept telling his wife, "That's enough. Stop making trouble."
The boss lady didn't listen: "She is also quite rich, can't she just give a thousand yuan for the child in her hometown? You have been timid and afraid of things all your life, but I am not afraid."
Hong Guo nodded: "Okay, go ahead and sue. You'll be proud if you can succeed."
Hongguo left the others, called Dazhu, picked up Qidian and left.
When the previous customer caught up with him, Hong Guo realized that she had lost her mind and didn't say hello to him. She apologized awkwardly, "I was so angry that I lost my mind. Thank you so much for cooperating with me this time."
The customer understood that the owner of this shop wanted to go against Hong Guo for some unknown reason, and said, "We are fine. You paid the compensation anyway. We have nothing to do with it anymore. The owner was really too much. You should be careful."
Hongguo thanked them, arranged for Dazhu to live in Lao Zheng's house next door, and then called Gu Changzong.
Gu Changzong was about to drive back to pick up Hongguo and Diandian, but Hongguo asked him to wait. When he talked about the characteristics of the man seen in the scene when he was touching the gold necklace, he said: "He was a handsome man with a broken little finger. He looked like he was smiling, but his eyes were emotionless. He didn't seem like a good person."
Gu Changzong knew who it was, and said to Hongguo, "They are targeting us. They want to test how strong the backers behind us are. Dazhu has suffered an unexpected disaster. Tell him not to be afraid. I will handle it."
Hong Guo told him in a relaxed tone not to worry about home: "Dian Dian is very capable now and can protect me. Come back after you finish your work."
Hongguo still had to do something. The proprietress suddenly couldn't breathe. It happened when she brought Diandian over. Without waiting for anyone to ask, Hongguo took the initiative to call Director Wei and tell him.
"I don't have the ability to do that. Maybe it's Diandian. The little guy can't ask the question. If you think you can ask it, I don't mind you asking it."
Director Wei asked Hongguo if she needed help: "The child in your hometown is innocent. You can take care of this matter."
Hong Guo said that it was not necessary: "They have provoked me. I am ready. At worst, I will lose Dazhu's job for life. Although I cannot make up for it completely, this is the solution I can think of."
Hongguo and Dazhu confessed that this time it was her family's problem that caused him to suffer the misfortune.
Dazhu understood very well and said that his school would not expel anyone indiscriminately, and he didn't care about what his classmates said.
Dazhu also didn't understand: "Xiao Yang is from our village too, why did they choose me to be targeted?"
Hong Guo wasn't sure: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. It's easier to handle it when you're working as a summer intern."
Dazhu and Xiaoyang are from the same university. Dazhu is one grade lower than Xiaoyang. Xiaoyang's family runs a stall in the county town and earns several thousand yuan a year. He is generous and often invites classmates to watch movies and participate in activities. After joining the student union, he felt like a fish in water. He did not go back home during the summer vacation, but participated in entrepreneurial practice activities with several classmates from the student union.
Dazhu went to see Xiao Yang several times, and each time he came back he became even more silent. He was just poor, not stupid. Sister Hongguo said that choosing him might be a coincidence. He was suspicious and went to Xiao Yang to ask about it several times.
Xiao Yang was annoyed by him and said, "Yes, I was the first one to come to him. I thought I had enough connections, but no one wanted to cause trouble, so I checked it myself and found that the other party was not targeting me, but wanted to force me to go to Sister Hongguo. I told him that the relationship between my family and Jiang Hongguo's family has faded, and now her relationship with your family is better, and you have no backing, so you are easier to bully and more pitiful, which will make Sister Hongguo feel more pity. I told him the address of the restaurant where you work, Dazhu, if you were in my position, you would do the same."
Dazhu asked: "Then why don't you go find Sister Hongguo?"
Xiao Yang explained: "Because I think Sister Hongguo and Brother Changzong can't beat them. They are in the coal mining business, and they have people in both the black and white worlds. My life is not easy, and I dare not make mistakes. Dazhu, don't blame me for not reminding you, you can't avoid it."
Did Dazhu blame him? He wanted to, but he thought of the time in high school. No matter if Xiaoyang listened or not, Dazhu could only calm down after he spoke out.
"Do you remember, when we were in high school, there was a classmate in our class who was always bullied? A classmate who was close to him couldn't stand it and helped him. As a result, he became the one being bullied and eventually dropped out of school. At that time, both of us were bystanders, unable to help and not daring to get into trouble."
Xiao Yang's impatient heart was also moved: "Yes, even now, we are too weak. I made the current decision just thinking about what happened back then. Dazhu, I will not apologize to you."
Dazhu said: "I have no right to blame you, but I believe Sister Hongguo can solve this matter."
He remembered the words that the little one had said to comfort him, and realized that what he should do now and in the future was to grow stronger secretly and slowly.
One day, when he encounters such a thing again, he will be able to step forward and solve it like Sister Hongguo.
…
Hongguo waited for a day, and Xiao Zheng and Qu Lian came back. Xiao Zheng was familiar with the provincial capital and said that Changzong had already told him what to do.
Xiao Zheng was filled with indignation: "You can't compete with Zong Ge for territory, and you are making things difficult for Da Zhu and making you feel uncomfortable. This is too despicable. People like this should be made to suffer the consequences of their actions."
The little one clapped his hands: "Go and beat them. I will go too."
Hong Guo thought that he should teach the other party a lesson. Now that he was capable, why did he have to endure all this? Moreover, if the slap didn't hurt this time, the coal business would be unstable, and more and more people would come to cause trouble.
Xiao Zheng simply bought the restaurant next door that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to competition, and poached its chef. That couple was able to bring their rival to the brink of bankruptcy, so they naturally had a backer. Their extreme revenge, such as sprinkling gasoline, putting laxatives in the ingredients, and adding diseased pork, all failed.
Moreover, all these methods fell on their own restaurant. In other words, from the beginning of their plan, Hongguo knew that it was Qu Lian who did it, and they returned all the blame.
In a short period of time, the restaurant owner who wanted to take advantage of the situation could no longer be arrogant, and he had a fight with his wife at home: "You have hit a wall this time. Look at what has happened to a restaurant that was once profitable? It's all your fault."
His wife scolded him, "Is it all my fault? Aren't you jealous of the coal boss's wealth and want to follow him to sell coal? Otherwise, would you have allowed me to agree to him?"
The matter still needed to be resolved, so they used their connections to find the person and finally found his second uncle's home.
When my second uncle got off work that day, my second aunt hummed a little tune, fried some twice-cooked pork, and poured herself a glass of rice wine to celebrate.
My second uncle asked cautiously, "I'm in a good mood today. What's good news?"
The second aunt laughed, "As for Hongguo's family, Changzong went to the mine a few months ago. Someone must have been doing something bad. They wanted to make trouble for Hongguo, but they didn't dare to do it directly, so they made things difficult for the college students who graduated from her hometown village. How hateful, too mean. Now the restaurant is about to close down. Did they find your colleague Lao Xiao? Lao Xiao's wife came to me, and I didn't say anything good. I said that when they made things difficult for my nephew's wife, didn't they think about asking for help one day? My nephew's wife didn't do anything bad. She just runs a restaurant next door to them. If she has the ability, she can go back to compete. She used despicable means and can't bear the consequences. It's useless to ask me. My family has never helped my nephew and his wife. I don't have the face to beg for mercy. Besides, I don't want to help the evil."
Seeing the guilty look on his face, the second aunt reminded him, "Old Xiao has begged you, right? If you have the nerve, just go and see if Hongguo and Changzong will pay any attention to you."
The second uncle said hurriedly, "Look at what you said. I am a policeman myself. How can I not distinguish right from wrong? I am the same as you. I rejected Lao Xiao. He was mainly pestered by his wife and couldn't stand it. He just said something to deal with his wife's begging. If she begged him, he would have nothing to do."
As they were talking, Gu Lianying came in, his face full of excitement. It had been a long time since we saw him so energetic since what happened at the wedding.
Seeing him cheer up, the second uncle was happy: "Is there something good going on?"
Gu Lianying was radiant, having found a new target. He said, "Brother Changzong and sister-in-law Hongguo opened a restaurant. They have to go to the coal mine and can't take care of the restaurant, so they entrusted it to me and asked me how many shares I can buy. My father gave me my savings, and I bought 40% and the chef 30%. I got a great bargain and became a major shareholder. Uncle, if anyone causes trouble in the restaurant, you have to take charge for me."
The second aunt chuckled, "Lian Ying has been very good at socializing since he was young. It's as easy for him to make friends as drinking water. He can run a restaurant. This is really a good way to have the best of both worlds. I think it's great. As long as you don't cause trouble, your second uncle will definitely take care of it if someone bullies you."
As long as Gu Lianying had something serious to do, Gu Changxin would be happy. However, he did not expect that Hongguo and Changzong would look for Gu Lianying.
My second aunt analyzed that to run a restaurant, one must have some background. It’s not like she is helping him to bully anyone, but it just means that people won’t easily go to the restaurant to cause trouble, which is good.
…
It didn't take Hongguo much time to get the matter done. The hotel took the initiative to return the compensation, but the customer didn't want the money and gave it back to Hongguo.
Dazhu got his salary and went back to his hometown to pick up his sister. Hongguo was also packing up and moving to Yancheng as soon as Changzong arrived. While they were busy, the boss's wife, who had been so stubborn a few days ago, came to apologize to Hongguo and asked her to show mercy and let their family live.
Hongguo felt it was ridiculous. Why didn't he think of leaving some room for others when he forced them into a desperate situation?
Hong Guo is not that compassionate: "I know you are not sincerely admitting your mistakes, you just came here because you feel you can't beat me. If I had been defeated by you, you would be smiling at home right now, right? I am not a soft-hearted Bodhisattva, I will not sympathize with your current situation."
When the proprietress left, she still didn't realize her mistake. Hongguo shook her head. Her heart was different from her weak appearance. She would not be fooled by illusions. She had to be hard-hearted when necessary.
There was a call from my hometown. It was Aunt Hehua. I guess Dazhu went home and told his family about what happened.
Hongguo felt guilty. It was because of her and Changzong that Dazhu was implicated. So she told Dazhu that if Aunt Hehua wanted to come to the provincial capital to work, she could work in a restaurant. The monthly salary was 600 yuan, which was more than 700 yuan a year. The hotel provided food and accommodation, which was better than farming in the countryside.
Aunt Hehua has two children in college and the burden is really heavy, so she called to thank Hongguo and said that she would come with her son and daughter to work in the restaurant before school starts.
Aunt Hehua didn't blame Hongguo at all. She said it was all fate and thanked Hongguo for giving her the opportunity to work in the provincial capital.
"It provides food and accommodation, the salary is high, and I live in the same city as my son and daughter, so I can see them every week. There is no other job that suits me better, Hongguo. I don't know how to thank you."
Hongguo felt warm in her heart. Sister Shan and Aunt Hehua sometimes said things that made her feel very comfortable.
Aunt Hehua had something else to say, and couldn't wait: "Aunt Liu's Xiao Yang wants to go abroad on a government mission. I heard that you are so capable, so I want to ask you to use your connections to help her. You blame me for trying to dissuade her. Hong Guo, she may also go to the provincial capital before school starts."
It seems that Dazhu didn't tell his family about Xiaoyang's incident.
Hong Guo said, "Chang Zong said he would be back today, and leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest. She can come if she wants. I'm not here anyway. If she wants to waste her travel expenses, she can waste it."
There was the roar of a transport truck outside. It was Changzong who came back. Hongguo quickly hung up the phone and took the little one out.
The car belonged to Changzong, but the person who got out was not Changzong, but a woman whom Hongguo did not know. Hongguo admired the woman for driving a big car, but she was puzzled. Why would Changzong give his precious car to a woman whom she did not know? Changzong would not do such a thing.
The woman smiled and said, "Hello, Hongguo. Gu Changzong asked me to come and move first. He will be here soon."
Hongguo is not stupid. Even if it is Changzong's car, she will not go with a stranger. What's more, the little guy hugged her legs, hid behind her, tilted his head to look at this woman, obviously he doesn't like her.
