Zhou Wan and Zhang Ting were both very worried about Xu Yuehuai. When they saw Xu Yuehuai return, they quickly surrounded her, pulling her around and looking her over repeatedly, trying to see if she had any injuries.
Xu Yuehuai quickly said, "Please stop looking. I'm not injured. The injured person isn't me at all, but Manager Ding who tried to bully me."
"What? Who is that Manager Ding? Why is he trying to bully you?" Zhou Wan asked Xu Yuehuai from the side.
Zhang Ting knew who Manager Ding was, and she immediately said to Zhou Wan, "Manager Ding is a local bully on East Street!"
"That Manager Ding and his son bullied a lot of people. They didn't care about the government at all and bullied all the common people in the area."
"It's no use even if everyone complains to the government. The government officials are involved with Manager Ding and his family, and they don't care about the common people's affairs at all."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai sighed helplessly. The local government was so corrupt that they had no way of managing these matters.
Manager Ding has been operating in the East Street area for a long time. Even if Xu Yuehuai wanted to help Manager Liu and his family, he could only suppress Manager Ding's family in the business world.
However, Xu Yuehuai was powerless to change the situation with the local government. Xu Yuehuai felt a pang of sadness; she felt weak and listless, unable to do anything more.
Qi Guze, who was standing next to her, noticed Xu Yuehuai's expression and said to her, "You have done enough. If you want to help Manager Liu with the matter between Manager Ding and Manager Liu, I can also help."
"As for other things, you don't need to take on too much responsibility, since they don't really concern us."
"If you have the ability, do your job well. No matter how capable you are, you don't need to take on all the pressure yourself. Some things should be left to the right people."
"We'll do what we can do, and that's enough. Relax and just go for it."
Qi Guze gently ruffled Xu Yuehuai's hair and said to her. Xu Yuehuai felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this.
"Yes, I understand what you mean. I won't take too much responsibility on my shoulders, and I'm no saint."
"All I can do is focus on my current task. After I help Manager Liu and the others, I won't do anything unnecessary."
"I know my abilities are limited and I can't do too much. I'll do as much as I can now."
Hearing this, Zhou Wan shook her head and sighed helplessly. Then she quickly waved for Xu Yuehuai to follow her into the house.
"Everyone, please don't stand outside anymore. Come inside. It's warmer inside and there's not so much wind."
"Everyone, come inside and let's talk about what exactly happened between Manager Ding and Manager Liu."
Zhou Wan had previously gone to Manager Liu's house with Xu Yuehuai and knew that Manager Liu and his family were good people. However, she now heard Xu Yuehuai say that Manager Liu's family had actually had a conflict with Manager Ding.
Manager Ding has been targeting Manager Liu's family. Isn't this bullying an honest person?
Zhou Wan couldn't help but recall everything she had experienced before, and felt extremely angry for Manager Liu. She absolutely couldn't let honest people be bullied!
Now they have some ability to help others. Since the Liu family helped Xu Yuehuai, they naturally have to help them in return.
Upon hearing Zhou Wan's words, Xu Yuehuai and the others quickly got up and followed her into the house.
Everyone went to the back room, lit a fire, and gathered around it to talk.
"Ah Yue, you should tell us properly, what exactly happened between Manager Liu and Manager Ding?"
Why does Manager Ding keep targeting Manager Liu?
"The Liu family are such good people, yet they were made to suffer like that by others."
"Their shop has been in disrepair for years, and they live in a small corner where life is rather miserable."
"They're already like this, and yet people still come to bully them. This is simply outrageous."
Zhou Wan clenched her fist and spoke to Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai also felt that this made sense; Manager Liu and his family were all good people and should not have had to go through such a thing.
Then, Xu Yuehuai said to Zhou Wan, "As you all know, I went to East Street to find Manager Liu and the others because I wanted to learn how to make hand-pulled mutton from Manager Liu."
"Manager Liu is a really good person. He taught me how to make hand-pulled mutton in great detail, and now I've almost mastered it."
"As it turned out, Manager Liu was in poor health, and I wanted to take him for treatment. We came to the best clinic in town, but right outside the clinic, we ran into Manager Ding, who was at odds with Manager Liu."
"This Manager Ding stole Manager Liu's recipe for making hand-pulled mutton before. I didn't expect him to be so shameless as to use that recipe to make money."
"That's why Manager Liu is afraid that if I tell him the recipe for hand-pulled mutton, I'll use it to make money. It's all because of the shadow left by Manager Ding."
"Not only did Manager Ding steal Manager Liu's recipe, but after he became successful, he also sent people to harass Manager Liu's shop, causing his shop to be unable to continue operating on the entire East Street."
"Now that Manager Liu's previous shop has closed down, only his son runs a dried fruit shop. But Manager Ding still won't let Manager Liu's family go and wants to wipe them out."
"Every time Manager Ding encounters Manager Liu, he tries to make things difficult for Manager Liu in every way. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I talked back to Manager Ding."
"I didn't expect Manager Ding to turn on us so quickly and try to have his servants arrest us. If it weren't for the local people protecting us and beating up Manager Ding and his men, I probably would have been crippled today."
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze's eyes turned cold. If Manager Ding really harmed Xu Yuehuai, Qi Guze would go over and skin Manager Ding alive!
After Xu Yuehuai finished explaining everything, Zhou Wan and Zhang Ting, who were standing nearby, finally understood the whole story between Manager Ding and Manager Liu.
"That Manager Ding is truly despicable! If I were Manager Liu, I would definitely have him tied up and made to return everything he's stolen over the years!"
Zhou Wan spoke with great righteous indignation. But she was not Manager Liu after all, and Manager Liu was not like her.
