Chapter 223 The New Restaurant Opens
Jiang Mi sneered, "That's none of your business. Rather than marrying a useless man like you, I'd rather live alone. The person I marry must be more capable than me, at least an equal. A man like you who can't do anything and keeps whining like an old woman all day long, I definitely wouldn't want you. You're not even qualified to be a live-in son-in-law. You'd better recognize your own limitations!"
As soon as Jiang Mi finished speaking, the crowd watching the brain burst into laughter. The man, feeling mocked, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Jiang Mi.
"You bitch, you damn slut, you dare to mock me? Well, I'll teach you a lesson. I don't usually hit women, you're lucky!"
Jiang Mi wasn't afraid of him at all, and sneered, "Is that so? I never hit men either, but I'll make an exception for you this time."
Just as the people around were worried about Jiang Mi, they saw her subdue the man very quickly. The man was punched to the ground by Jiang Mi, howling in pain, with blood flowing from his nose and mouth.
Jiang Mi stomped on his head: "Still so arrogant? Tell me, did someone instruct you to do this? Tell the truth and I'll let you go, otherwise I'll make you lose face a hundred times more!"
The man buried his face in the ground, not daring to look up at the crowd. He knew without looking that everyone was laughing at him, perhaps even looking at him with disdain and mockery.
"Grandma, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. No one ordered me to do this. I was just being petty and didn't recognize your greatness!"
Jiang Mi wasn't so easily fooled. Why would he target her like this for no reason? There must be something fishy going on. He wouldn't do something like this to offend someone for no reason unless someone gave him a benefit.
"Is that so? Since you've caused trouble in front of my restaurant, then come with me to the government office. We'll go to the magistrate and explain ourselves to him, and see why you've been targeting me for no reason!"
When the man heard that he was going to see an official, his attitude softened considerably. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw someone in the crowd shaking their head at him. He was so frightened that he dared not utter another sound.
He originally thought it was a good job, as he had been doing this kind of thing for many years. Outsiders were the easiest to bully, but he never expected that the girl he encountered this time would be so capable, easily subduing him!
"Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Well then, come with me!" After saying that, Jiang Mi let go of his foot and let the shop assistant pull the man toward the yamen.
At this moment, someone in the crowd whispered, "Young lady, you're new here, so you should keep a low profile. This place isn't as simple as your Shushan County. This person often uses his employers' people to do his work. Maybe you've offended someone, which is why someone hired this person to cause trouble."
As for who he offended, everyone knows the answer. The fact that Liuxiang Pavilion is the only restaurant in Linshui County is enough to show how domineering he is. There were other restaurants in Linshui County before, but they all went out of business for no reason. No one would believe that there was nothing fishy going on, but no one dared to say a word!
After a moment's thought, Jiang Mi had a plan in mind. This Liuxiang Pavilion was not only a big shop bullying its customers, but it must also have other backing. The reason it was so arrogant was that someone was definitely backing it up.
However, Jiang Mi is not afraid of anything now, so meeting her is just bad luck for Liuxiang Pavilion.
"Really? Then I'm curious, who has such power? Can't even the county magistrate control them?"
Seeing that Jiang Mi was beautiful, some people couldn't bear to see her get hurt and quickly waved their hands to signal her not to talk nonsense.
“Young lady, there are some things you can’t say carelessly. You know what’s going on in your heart, there’s no need to dig to the bottom of it, it won’t do you any good. As for your restaurant… to be honest, it’s not certain that it will be successful. I advise you to sell it. The sooner you sell it, the less money you’ll lose.”
Jiang Mi glanced thoughtfully at Liuxiang Pavilion across the street. She noticed that there seemed to be a person standing in the window of the restaurant across the street, but she could only make out that it was a man's figure, and she couldn't see anything else clearly.
"Thank you all for your kindness."
"So I'll listen to everyone and release this person for now. However, I have evidence, and if this person dares to cause trouble again, I certainly won't be so lenient."
Jiang Mi didn't want to make a big fuss right away. The other party wanted to give her a hard time, but unexpectedly she slapped them in the face instead. Perhaps things would calm down for a few days. She would wait until the restaurant reopened before making any further plans.
Seeing that Jiang Mi was still stubborn, the people sighed. They felt sorry for the beautiful girl, but they had already tried to persuade her, and the rest could only leave it to fate.
After Jiang Mi released the man, he hurriedly and disheveledly fled, as if staying there for even a second longer would be extremely shameful.
After Jiang Mi taught this person a lesson, things were indeed peaceful for a while. No one came to cause trouble before the restaurant was renovated. It seems that Liuxiang Pavilion across the street planned to deal with her after she opened her doors.
When the restaurant opened, apart from Su Yindi and Jiang's mother who couldn't come because they were in their hometown, Jiang Yan, Zhang Min'en, and others also came, as well as Jiang Xuan and Jiang Zhi. They came to see the new restaurant open and also wanted to take a stroll around Linshui County to relax.
Many of them were visiting Linshui County for the first time. They found it very novel and larger than Shushan County. They couldn't resist taking a stroll around and buying some things to take home to their families.
After opening, many people came in to eat because Jiang Mi's prices were very affordable. In addition, Jiang Family Restaurant had a good reputation, and many people had already heard of it. Some had even tried the food there, so many people strongly recommended Jiang Family Restaurant.
Although I don't know how long Jiang's Restaurant will stay open, I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to try more of their food. If I want to try their food again later, I'll have to go all the way to Shushan County, and the prices won't be as reasonable then.
"There are quite a lot of people." Zhang Min'en appeared behind Jiang Mi at some point and suddenly said this, startling Jiang Mi.
"Oh my god, you scared me to death! I thought it was someone else. Can't you make a little noise when you walk?"
Zhang Min'en said helplessly, "It was clearly your own distraction; it has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Mi didn't want to argue with him and said, "Yes, but this was within my expectations."
