Wang Deli, who had left Yiji, spat fiercely in an invisible corner, "Bah, what a thing! You really take yourself too seriously."
Wang Deli looked at Yi Ji's booming business and snorted coldly.
He turned and walked towards another restaurant.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Tian Qing asked someone to continue supervising while he went to report to Gu Beijian.
"Why did he go to that restaurant?" Gu Beijian wondered.
"I guess you have nothing good to say. You guys continue watching and come back to tell me if you have anything to say." Gu Beijian walked towards his own house.
Tianqing took the order and left.
"Mayor, why are you here?" Shopkeeper Wei, who had wanted to buy Yiya rice braised food but was rejected before, came forward.
"Of course there is something wrong." Wang Deli said.
"Please come upstairs." Manager Wei welcomed the person upstairs.
When the two men entered the room, the guards who had been following them had no choice but to climb out of the window and onto the roof to eavesdrop when no one was paying attention.
"Mayor, what instructions do you have for me this time?" Shopkeeper Wei was puzzled. He gave Wang Deli regular benefits every month. Why did he come here today?
"You know Yiji, right?" Wang Deli said.
"I know, it's a shop opened by that little girl. Business is said to be booming." Shopkeeper Wei nodded.
"Don't you want your business to be as good as his?" Wang Deli tempted.
"Oh, it's already difficult for my restaurant's business to maintain its current status, how can I dare to think of anything else?" Manager Wei sighed.
"Come here and listen, I have a plan." Wang Deli waved to him.
"What?" Shopkeeper Wei put his ear close to it.
…
The guard saw that the two people spoke very softly and could not hear carefully, so he frowned. This old man was quite careful in making trouble.
…
Gu Beijian's house, just as Gu Beijian opened the door, he heard a bird chirping, "Master, you're back?"
Gu Beijian looked at the source of the sound, the firecrackers, with amusement. The green budgie was combing its hair on the branch.
"Master! Master! I want to eat bugs!" Firecracker shouted at him.
Gu Beijian reached out and touched the firecracker's head, looking at it carefully. "Little Fatty, you're already eating like a piglet, and you're still eating bugs?"
"I'm not fat! I'm not fat! Aaaaaaaaa!" As soon as Firecracker heard Gu Beijian say that it was fat, it retorted the next second.
…
Yiyami lived in fear for a few days, and only felt relieved when she saw that no one was saying anything bad about the girls in her shop.
But to the west of the strange shop, a nearby shop near the market had started to be renovated, and the style was a bit similar to that of his own home.
Yi Yami asked Shengsheng to inquire, and he came back to say that it was the property of another restaurant owner in town, who said he was planning to open another restaurant.
After hearing this, Yi Yami narrowed her eyes. That was her competitor, who was planning to take a piece of the pie. So, just open the business. In business, everyone relies on their own abilities. As long as they don't use any bad means, there is no problem. She is not afraid of competition.
The eight children had been in a droopy state when they came back these past few days, which caught Yi Yami's attention.
At dinner time, after everyone had finished their meal, Yiyami asked the little ones to stay.
"Sister, what's wrong? Do you want to check our homework?" Yi Xiaomai looked at Yi Yami tiredly.
Yi Yami looked at the exhausted Yi Xiaomai and said distressedly, "Why are you so tired? Is studying harder than working at home?"
"No, sister, the teacher has assigned us a lot of homework recently, and we have to finish it every day. If we don't finish it, we will be beaten the next day." Yi Xiaomai said in a low voice.
"What did you say? Being beaten?" Yiyami heard it and asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it was a ruler that was almost as wide as a palm. It hurt so much when we were hit with it..." Yi Xiaomai gestured.
Yi Yami looked at the eight children and asked, "Did the teacher beat you?"
Some shook their heads, some nodded.
"Xiaomai, come here." Yiyami waved to Yixiaomai.
Yi Xiaomai came over and asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
Yi Yami reached out to check the scars on Yi Xiaomai's body.
Yi Xiaomai resisted and refused to let Yi Yami see it.
Yi Yami grabbed him and lifted up his clothes. His back and buttocks, which were covered by the clothes, were covered with marks from being hit with a ruler.
Yi Yami didn't say anything, but looked at each child one by one. The girls had relatively minor injuries, but the injuries on the boys were a bit shocking.
"Why didn't you go home and tell them after getting beaten?" Yiyami said with concern.
Yi Xiaomai's eyes were red as she whispered, "The mayor's son, Wang Dafa, said this was normal. He said the teacher had treated other students like this before, and that he beat us for our own good."
Yi Yami's brows were furrowed, and she was about to pinch a mosquito to death. "Did you see other children being beaten?"
Yi Xiaomai thought for a moment and said, "No, but Ma Rongrong was also beaten."
"He hasn't finished writing it either?" Yi Yami asked.
"I don't know what Ma Rongrong wanted to say, but the teacher stopped him and beat him up. He didn't say anything after that." Yi Xiaomai recalled.
Yi Yami frowned. Although the teacher would spank the students if they were disobedient, wasn't this a bit too harsh?
"What homework do you have to do every day?" Yiyami asked.
"Each of us needs to copy fifty sheets of this kind of paper." Yi Xiaomai took out a large piece of paper from the cloth bag.
Yi Yami took a look and had a rough idea in his mind.
"Okay, stop copying. You should go to bed early." Yiyami instructed the children to put down the cloth bags and go to sleep.
