Chapter 130 Cutting Through the Gordian Knife



As a result, Jiang Qianqian was once again stuck at the intersection.

Zhou Qionghua was furious and gripped Jiang Qianqian's hand tightly.

“If you really don’t know how to steal, or you’re worried about being exposed, I’ll teach you the best way: set this inn on fire and burn it to the ground. Then we can come and collect the money.”

Jiang Qianqian couldn't believe that her heartless parents could be so cruel. At this moment, she angrily pushed Zhou Qionghua away, saying, "You are no longer my mother, and I don't need a mother in the future."

"Qianqian, you need to understand that you are not her daughter. How will she treat you? She will find you a husband in the future, and they will even charge you a dowry. What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to cut ties with your biological parents?"

"I've already made it clear, but you keep pestering me. I'll say it again today: I must sever ties with you, or I'll really be ruined."

Zhou Qionghua was at her wit's end and turned to her husband for help, giving him a disapproving look.

Jiang Mingfu believed he could handle the matter with ease and hurriedly approached his daughter.

"All you need to do is get the money. When you come back to us, you'll still be your parents' precious daughter."

"The apple of one's eye?"

Jiang Qianqian almost laughed awkwardly, "Then there's no need for that. I'll take my leave first. You all take care of yourselves."

Just at this critical moment, laughter came from the distance of the alley. Jiang Qianqian was surprised, Zhou Qionghua was terrified, and Jiang Mingfu was astonished. When everyone turned around, they saw Xu Yuehuai.

Xu Yuehua sneered, "I never expected that you would instigate your own daughter to steal. You are really unlucky to have parents like you. Qianqian, come here. Today I will be a witness and declare once again that Jiang Qianqian is my granddaughter from now on, and has nothing to do with you anymore."

At that moment, a group of passersby also gathered around.

People in the capital city love to watch exciting events.

Some people whispered among themselves that Xu Yuehuai had actually found several extras before he arrived, and Zhou Wan and San Niang were among them.

Third Sister answered everyone's questions.

"Letting their daughter steal? What kind of parents are these? They're utterly despicable."

“Young girl,” an elderly man hurriedly spoke up, “one wrong step can lead to eternal regret. You’re unlucky to have such parents. Young girl, you must be grateful! They took you in and treated you well, so you should repay their kindness with kindness.”

"I know."

Jiang Qianqian looked at that person.

Someone pointed at Jiang Mingfu and said, "How can you be so shameless? You're a disgrace! Where in Beijing do we find someone like you?"

Jiang Mingfu also made a big fuss, saying, "I didn't ask her to steal anything. She brought it on herself. Don't listen to Xu Yuehuai's nonsense. It's not true."

"The evidence is conclusive. I think you're the one who's really talking nonsense. I was clearly listening just now, and I know the whole story. Are you trying to confuse the issue?"

Xu Yuehuai looked at the other person and nodded in approval.

He added, "After all, it's not a respectable matter; otherwise, it would be better to hand it over to the authorities for judgment."

At this point, someone grabbed some vegetable leaves and a rotten egg and threw it at Zhou Qionghua. The rotten egg landed with a splat on Zhou Qionghua's face, and Zhou Qionghua shouted, "I'll fight you! You're all biased and you're bullying honest people!"

These rotten eggs and the like were naturally prepared by Xu Yuehuai.

As everyone watched, Zhou Qionghua, this fierce shrew, approached. She grabbed rotten eggs and vegetable leaves and started a Plants vs. Zombies game on the spot. Zhou Qionghua and her husband were covered in dust and were about to leave.

But Xu Yuehuai wouldn't let them off so easily.

Seeing that the two were preparing to flee the place of trouble, Xu Yuehuai took out the documents.

“Four months ago, when we were still fleeing famine, you demanded twenty taels of silver from me, saying you wanted to buy out your relationship with your daughter. I was willing to let her stay with me, so it was settled! It’s all in black and white, in duplicate, and this is for your records! Now, my fellow villagers, you can see for yourselves, they are just scoundrels.”

Xu Yuehuai handed the document to everyone.

They passed it around and finished reading it quickly.

An old woman in the crowd, holding a cane, knocked on Zhou Qionghua's head.

And she cursed in her hoarse voice, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs! You guys are really something, not even sparing your own daughter. What kind of parents are you? Fellow villagers, tell them to get out."

Everyone was furious, and the two fled in panic.

Xu Yuehuai looked at Jiang Qianqian.

Jiang Qianqian hugged her tightly. "Grandma, thank you."

"If they bully you again in the future, I'll take care of them. Don't worry, let's go home." Xu Yuehuai carried Jiang Qianqian back to the inn. After that day, Jiang Qianqian never mentioned her parents again, as if she had completely forgotten them.

Xu Yuehuai's dishes are freshly prepared, and customers flock to her place every day.

That day, the waiter from the shop across the street finally brought a plate of hairy tofu to Li Feng.

Li Feng looked at it and suddenly realized, "Isn't this just tofu with white mold growing on it? What's so special about that?"

Following that, Li Feng said, "Let's study this too. We must make it as lifelike as possible. Let's find a cook."

The cook had been quite idle lately, eating sunflower seeds. When she heard that Li Feng was looking for her, she hurriedly came out of the kitchen, bowing to Li Feng with a fawning smile, "Manager, has last month's payment come through? I'm still waiting for the rice to be cooked."

“No rush,” Li Feng, who was a master at squeezing his employees out of their money and was always behind on their salaries, looked at the cook and said, “Take a look at how this dish is made. If you can make it exactly the same, we’ll make a fortune.”

"This... let me take a look."

The cook went down to investigate, but without any results.

This made Li Feng anxious and worried.

Xu Yuehuai seemed to already know the future's outcome and direction.

Therefore, even though the business is booming, they are still constantly innovating.

She was mixing red wine, the glass filled with a deep crimson hue, shimmering and sparkling.

Xu Yuehuai transforms into a science whiz, leisurely conducting research.

Zhou Wan and San Niang, who were standing nearby, were completely bewildered.

Finally, Third Sister couldn't hold back any longer, "What are we doing?"

"To make a good wine, you need to consider both appearance and other elements."

Upon hearing this, Third Sister looked at the bloody liquid and asked, "Is it really safe to drink?"

Xu Yuehuai had successfully completed his mission. With a triumphant smile, he presented the cup of wine to the two men, saying, "Please, gentlemen, taste it."

The two were extremely curious, and carefully sipped their drinks.

Xu Yuehuai blended kiwi wine into red grape wine, which neutralized the tannins and created a unique and outstanding sweetness.

After only two sips, Third Sister felt refreshed and invigorated.

"Wow, I've never tasted anything so refreshing in my life."

Third Sister drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Wan was always gentle and refined, and naturally not as gluttonous as San Niang.

Seeing that Third Sister couldn't wait to drink a cup, Zhou Wan slowly raised her sleeve to cover her lips before tasting it. Then the two of them showed the same approving smile.
