"I don't know..." Sister-in-law Chi gave a bitter smile, slumped into her chair, and looked completely lost.
She no longer cares about the restaurant; all her attention is on Xingxing.
Thinking of her eldest son, Sister-in-law Chi was overcome with grief, tears streaming down her face: "Why is Xingxing still so impulsive?"
The reason I made the tough decision to send Xingxing to the army was to curb his impulsive nature, wasn't it?
But now it seems that not only has it not been corrected, it has become even worse.
One kick sent the person flying, coughing up blood...
I wonder how much trouble he'll cause.
"Sigh, Xingxing is also a filial son," Liu Demiao said with a word of advice.
What else is there to say?
In his opinion, Xingxing was too impulsive.
Since ancient times, the common people have never fought against the officials. Why don't they understand this principle?
"Fortunately, Chenyi is here, they will be fine."
Aunt Chi wasn't as worried as Sister-in-law Chi.
With Chen Yi around, at least those people won't resort to underhanded tactics, nor will they dare to fabricate stories.
Old Man Chi found a pipe from somewhere, put it in his mouth without lighting it, and looked even more distressed with a dark complexion.
He felt that since his family came to Pinghe Town, they had never offended anyone and had just lived their lives peacefully.
Why is he so honest, or...?
"Brother Chi, a few teenagers have come outside. One of them says he knows who the person who died today is."
Suddenly, Madam Tian rushed in.
The Chi family was overjoyed.
"Please come in quickly."
After inviting the young men in, Chi Tang realized that the one leading them was none other than Han Fu, the hoodlum who had appeared at the entrance of the Lin Family Escort Agency that day (the broker who appeared earlier was called Han Qi, which was a typo and has been corrected; apologies to everyone)!
"It's you."
Aunt Chi recognized her too.
Han Fu cupped his hands in a gesture reminiscent of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) man: "The family of three who appeared at your door today, the man is from Laiyang City. He used to be quite wealthy, but he gambled away all his assets. I heard he has tuberculosis and is about to die."
So it's very likely that they were paid by someone else to frame you today.
Since you're about to die anyway, why not make some money for the family?
"Is that so?"
"hateful!"
"May I ask this young man if he has been able to find the doctor who treated him before?" Liu Demiao grasped the key point.
Han Fu nodded proudly: "Of course."
There is nothing Han Fu cannot do.
but……
"I have one condition," Han Fu said calmly.
Old Man Chi was very understanding: "Of course I won't let you help me for nothing."
He understood these basic social skills.
It's worth spending some money if it can quell this matter.
Han Fu said, "I heard that your restaurant has launched a dish, the main ingredient of which is made with a novel thing called tofu."
"right."
"I want to cooperate with you. I want to buy tofu from you and sell it to other cities."
Han Fu said earnestly.
The brothers behind him all looked somewhat dreamy.
How much money can you make selling tofu?
But the boss insisted on retiring from the criminal business and going to do legitimate business.
So many people ran away, and in the end, only a few of them were left.
But no matter what they did, they were determined to follow only their leader.
The eldest brother has a dream, so they follow suit.
If all else fails, I can always go back to my old profession.
They won't starve.
Sister-in-law Chi looked at Chi Tang, and only after the latter nodded did she stand up and say, "Okay."
They originally planned to open a tofu shop.
However, the priority is to make tofu first, just so that this dish in our restaurant will be more appealing.
Three months later, they planned to build a tofu shop to sell tofu.
However, no action has been taken yet.
Agreeing to Han's request now is merely going with the flow.
"I have already sent someone to fetch him, and he should be back in about two hours. I have also spoken with the local officials."
Han Fu said calmly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
They came prepared; they were all ready.
"So, we can now discuss the details of the cooperation."
Han Fu stared intently at Chi Tang, then suddenly asked, "Was the candy I gave you last time delicious?"
Chi Tang blinked.
This is……
For some reason, she felt a little cautious looking at Han Fu's roguish demeanor.
Why be so cautious?
Is there a reason for this?
The thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, but Chi Tang replied very quickly: "It's delicious, thank you, big brother."
Actually, Aunt Chi threw that piece of candy away.
How could Aunt Chi let her precious daughter eat something of dubious origin?
"Well then, young man, let's go inside and discuss this," Aunt Chi said to Han Fu, while instructing Madam Tian to serve Han Fu and the others tea and snacks.
Turning back to Sister-in-law Chi, he said, "You and your Uncle Liu shouldn't go. Think carefully about what else we can do. We can't just sit here and wait."
Then he greeted Han Fu with a big smile.
That's a really fast change of expression.
Everyone is changing, even Aunt Chi is no longer the same as before.
Chi Tang thought for a moment, then followed him inside to finalize the tofu business.
However, her main concern was finding out why Han Fu wanted to help them.
The room was specifically for entertaining guests. The fan was whirring, and the ice chest was filled with various fruits and watermelon juice.
Then, Madam Tian brought over several plates of snacks.
"Auntie, could you get some food for me and my brother? We're starving." Han Fu asked earnestly, just like the boy next door.
