"Then can you find out where Zuixianlou gets these vegetables?" the middle-aged man asked.
The big man replied, "Tong, the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou, bought it from a farmer in Xujia Village. I heard they even signed a contract to supply it only to Zuixianlou."
The middle-aged man was surprised and said, "Oh? How did a poor villager get these vegetables that I have never heard of? Did you check carefully?"
The big man replied, "It's absolutely true. I heard that the family bought the seeds from a foreign businessman, and they actually grew them. However... I also found out one thing..." The big man frowned in embarrassment, looked up at the middle-aged man, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The middle-aged man's tone turned cold and he said impatiently, "Why are you hesitating? Just say what you want to say!"
The big man said, "That farmer was originally going to sell us the first one, but before he even entered the restaurant, he was verbally abused and kicked out by your distant nephew..."
The middle-aged man angrily picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it to the ground, saying angrily, "This bastard, if it weren't for my mother's face, he wouldn't even be worthy of entering Yipinxian. He's a beast with no blood relationship with me. I'm already flattering him by letting him work as a waiter in the restaurant, but he's really getting ahead of himself. Find two people to teach him a lesson and make sure he can't get out of bed for the rest of his life. He dares to ruin my business. Remember, do it covertly and don't let anything slip."
The big man wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I understand. But I wonder what will happen to that family?"
The middle-aged uncle pondered for a while and said, "Zuixianlou has been quite mysterious since it came to Huamen Town. We don't know who their behind-the-scenes boss is. To be able to open such a large restaurant, the person behind the scenes must have some background. We can't offend him easily now, but we can't let the customers in the restaurant get the advantage of Zuixianlou for nothing. You take your people to disguise yourself, and when that family delivers food to Zuixianlou..." As he said this, he laughed sinisterly.
"I understand. I have already found out everything. That family will go to Zuixianlou to deliver the vegetables tomorrow morning. I will prepare the manpower right away and will definitely not let the vegetables be delivered to Zuixianlou smoothly." The big man assured.
The middle-aged man said with satisfaction, "Find some new faces. We can't let Zuixianlou catch us. Go prepare now and go down!"
At this time, the Xu family did not know that a conspiracy against them was about to unfold, and they were all immersed in sweet dreams.
The next day, the Xu family got up early, changed into new clothes, and happily prepared breakfast. After the children finished their training, the family started to eat together. After breakfast, they worked together to put the vegetables on the ox cart, and the children also sat on the ox cart. Grandpa Xu said, "Boss, you take the children and go first. The others and I will be here soon. We will meet at Zuixianlou." Boss Xu agreed and drove the ox cart towards the town.
"Second brother, go to the village chief's house and borrow the ox cart. And tell Chunsheng by the way, so that he won't be lost if something happens." The old man said again. Uncle Xu agreed and turned to go to the village chief's house.
After the women cleaned up the kitchen, Wang returned to the house and retrieved a hundred taels of silver, carefully tucking it into her bosom. The family stood at the courtyard gate, waiting for Uncle Xu. Soon, Uncle Xu brought the ox cart over and invited everyone to get on. Qibao was held in the arms of his mother, and Xiaoliu in the arms of his father. Once everyone was seated, Uncle Xu drove the cart and set off.
The family was chatting and laughing happily on the ox cart. Qibao also suggested that after the house was built, they should dig a small lotus pond in the yard so that they could see lotus flowers in the summer. Others thought it was a good idea and expressed their opinions.
They were less than half an hour away from the town when suddenly Uncle Xu, who was driving the cart, exclaimed, "Dad, Mom, are you looking up ahead at my eldest brother and the children?"
Mr. Xu was also confused after hearing this. Hadn't the boss already left ahead? The others in the car also stretched their heads to look forward...
Uncle Xu's expression suddenly changed. "Dad, something's wrong. Big brother and the children are sitting on the ground. There are several masked men standing in front of them with knives in their hands. Big brother looks injured. There's blood on his sleeve!"
The others were almost frightened to death after hearing this. Wang shook her body and said hurriedly, "Nothing can happen to the eldest brother. There are also the children!" She was so anxious that she could only wipe away her tears.
Zhang suddenly stood up, her eyes red, and said, "I won't let anyone hurt the head of the family, let alone the children. I'm going to save them!" She rushed down the ox cart regardless of everything! Fortunately, she was stopped by Xu Erbo, who said, "Sister-in-law, calm down first. How can a woman like you deal with those bandits? I'm a man and I'm stronger than you women. I'll go over and take a look. You stay here and don't move!" Xu Laosan also nodded with a heavy face and said, "Sister-in-law, my second brother and I will go together." As he said that, he patted Lin's hand. He had to go. His eldest brother and the children were in danger at the moment.
Old Master Xu also said anxiously, "Old woman, take out the silver quickly. If the other party is looking for money, maybe the boss and the others will be safe if you give them the silver!"
Wang quickly took out the 100 taels from her bosom and handed it to Xu Laosan. At this time, Qibao spoke up, "Second uncle, Dad, I'll go with you!"
After hearing what Qibao said, the expressions of the other people in the car changed. Lin cried and said, "Qibao, mother doesn't allow you to take risks. Just stay with mother obediently. Your uncle and your brothers will be fine!" Then she hugged Qibao tightly in her arms.
Qibao said, "Mom, don't worry. My master has taught me many ways to save my life. I will protect myself. If you don't believe me, just look..." As he spoke, he picked up a stone on the ground, used his spiritual power, and the stone was shaken into powder.
Everyone else was stunned. Qibao said, "Mom, Grandma, my skills are more than enough to handle a few bandits. Don't worry!" He broke free from his mother's arms, got off the cart, and retrieved a dagger from the space. Xu Laoer and Xu Laosan followed Qibao forward. The women on the cart looked at Qibao's small figure, their hands covering their mouths as tears streamed down their cheeks. They felt so useless, feeling that a child had to take the lead at this crucial moment.
When Qibao got closer, he saw that his uncle had a bloody cut on his arm caused by a knife. His brothers were not injured as they were held tightly behind his uncle and were well protected. However, each child had tears in his eyes and stared fiercely at the masked men.
When Uncle Xu saw his second, third and Qibao brothers, he was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Second and third brothers, take Qibao and leave quickly!" The brothers also looked anxious when they saw their sister. The eldest brother shouted, "Sister, go quickly, they will hurt you! I will stop these people for you! You guys go quickly!" As he said that, he stood up and stood in front of his sister with a fearless look on his face.
A masked man suddenly spoke up, sneering, "Hey, so you're a family. In that case, don't even think about leaving."
Xu Erbo said, "You guys attacked innocent people with knives in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that the government will arrest you and put you in jail?"
The leading man laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Yamen? If I were afraid of the Yamen, I wouldn't show up here so brazenly. It's simply wishful thinking for those good-for-nothings in the Yamen to think they can arrest us brothers!"
