Chapter 174 Powerless
Shopkeeper Fang was neither happy nor impatient to hear this: "How could I possibly associate with those people? They are nothing."
"I'm glad you know."
Young Master Zeng said, "But this time, my uncle bribed these hooligans to harass Madam Xu and force her to sell the house. That's why the officials came to our house."
Manager Fang glared at him fiercely, "I didn't force her, I just used some tricks to negotiate with her. I just want to make the Sifang Restaurant a success. Are you happy to see that damned Manager Tang showing off all the time? Who knew this bitch would be so ungrateful? Plus, that damned girl Xiaoyan got involved and screwed our family over again!"
Mrs. Zeng actually said, "That's really abhorrent. Even if that ice jelly is great, it's just a trifle. We bought it from her because we respect her. What right does she have to take advantage of it? She's really tricky."
The more Mrs. Zeng thought about it, the angrier she became. "If she really doesn't want to, then forget it. She should just refuse. Are we so shameless as to force her to sell it? But she quietly set up a trick and almost harmed you. She's really vicious and sinister!"
Shopkeeper Fang felt relieved, but was still indignant. "Who said it wasn't true? You see it clearly, sister."
Mrs. Zeng sneered: "Originally, I didn't care about this little thing, but now that it's like this, I have to get it."
Shopkeeper Fang was delighted: "Yes, yes, sister, do you have any good ideas?"
Young Master Zeng was taken aback. "Mother, I've already told Master Shao that our Zeng family will no longer want this ice jelly recipe. Besides, Madam Xu has already given this recipe to the county magistrate's wife. Who would dare to buy it? Wouldn't that be discouraging to the county magistrate's wife?"
Young Master Zeng mentioned this just now, but Mrs. Zeng just forgot about it.
She was just angry that she was tricked by Xu Zhichun, whom she looked down upon, so she said some harsh words in anger.
Common name: talking nonsense.
Unexpectedly, my son pointed it out to my face.
Madam Zeng was furious and scolded, "You're the only one with a big mouth? If you're so capable, if you had just put in some effort to help your uncle, he wouldn't have been arrested by the government. Why are you showing off your abilities now?"
"go out!"
Young Master Zeng was both angry and powerless. His mother became unreasonable whenever anything happened to her uncle.
In her eyes, her uncle is always right.
Is it because he doesn't want to help? It's because his uncle doesn't allow him to interfere at all and never tells him what he does.
But he didn't dare say it.
Nothing good will happen to him if he tries to undermine his uncle in front of his mother.
Young Master Zeng was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and quarrel with his mother in person, so he endured it again and again and turned around and left.
Mrs. Zeng was angry again. "Look at him, his temper is getting worse and worse."
Shopkeeper Fang added fuel to the fire: "It's okay to have a bad temper, but if you have the guts, you should show it to outsiders. If you show it to your family, that's called bullying. I don't know why he has such a bad temper now. Sister, calm down. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by it."
Young Master Zeng heard it vaguely and raised his hand to cover his chest, saying, "Walk faster, I'm about to vomit blood."
Mr. Shao sent someone to deliver a hundred taels of silver and told her that the matter was resolved and everything would be fine from now on.
Xu Zhichun was overjoyed.
Zeng Xiaoyan and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's great news, we should celebrate. How about we get together again in a couple of days? Sister Zhichun, I still want to eat some sweet and sour tomatoes and eggs."
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Even if we don't get together, you can still eat if you want. Just let me know. I'll also save you a bowl of rice. It tastes even better with rice. But you're right, we should get together and celebrate."
This time, you can make tomato and egg. Forget beef brisket, let's try tomato-braised pork ribs. You can also try sweet and sour pork, fry some crispy carrot meatballs, and even some meatballs.
A few people were chatting and laughing, and were about to pack up their stall when Nanny Fang arrived with her people.
"No, I have to hurry home."
There is not a single konjac left. I have to hurry back to dig some today. If I have time, I have to ask Chunfen to help me. Who has time to go to Mrs. Zeng?
The fact that Nanny Fang came here at this time must be related to Fang Zhengduan being taken away by the yamen today. Her stepmother must be so angry that she is fuming.
She would be a fool to send it to her.
Nanny Fang laughed in anger and said coldly, "Third Miss, the Madam is calling you, do you dare not go?"
"My mother-in-law specifically told me to hurry back today because she had something important to talk to me about. I agreed to her request. I'll tell her what my mother wants to talk to me about tomorrow."
Liang Mingliang said very wisely: "That's right! My wife is right!"
Nanny Fang glanced at him, feeling angry and disgusted: "What a useless man, he is, he only knows how to follow women. Look at his worthless appearance."
While responding to Nanny Fang, everyone was busy too, picking up or taking things from the stalls to the market and putting them on the ox carts.
Nanny Fang: "Madam only has a few words to say. It won't take much time. Is Third Miss being unfilial?"
"Stop your nonsense! If you say you won't delay, then so what? Tell my mother-in-law about this. If she agrees, I have no objection. Don't make it difficult for me. Otherwise, people will accuse me of being unfilial, and where will I go to complain?"
"you--"
"Madam Fang," Xu Zhichun said, "I'm sure you know exactly what happened today. Let's go first. Do you want to cause more trouble?"
"This is our Zeng family's affair. Madam Xu, aren't you overreaching and meddling a bit too much? Madam Xu, it's important for people to know their own limitations."
"I'm going to tell you the same thing. Also, you misunderstood. I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Zeng family. I'm Xiaoyan and the others' employer. While they're working for me, they can't go anywhere I forbid them to go."
"Haha, that boss, Madam Xu, really has no humanity at all."
"Business is business. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. Otherwise, it will easily lead to chaos in the family, and it will be even more embarrassing if a quarrel occurs. The Zeng family is a big business. Don't they know this principle?"
"What do you mean!"
Nanny Fang was a little upset. She felt that Xu Zhichun was mocking the lady and her uncle from her mother's family, but she had no evidence.
"It means I'm not without humanity. Aunt Fang, we should go."
Nanny Fang was furious. "Miss Third, you can't avoid the fifteenth day even if you can't avoid it. In this case, I will go back to my wife and invite you tomorrow. Don't refuse again when the time comes."
Zeng Xiaoyan also learned this, and responded seriously and solemnly: "I can't guarantee that. My employer has the final say."
Nanny Fang: “.”
"Madam Xu is deliberately going against our Madam?"
"No, I still have to show some humanity. Don't worry, I will allow Xiaoyan to go there when she is free tomorrow."
"Humph! Madam Xu has said everything!"
No matter how unwilling Nanny Fang was, she had to give up.
Originally, she did intend to forcibly take the third young lady away, but Xu Zhichun's words made her hesitate.
A lot of things did happen today. Madam Xu is not someone you can easily mess with. If things really get out of hand, it won't be good.
After Nanny Fang and her group left, Zeng Xiaoyan became anxious: "Sister-in-law Zhichun, I don't want to go tomorrow either!"
