Chapter 345 Forced into the Home
As the sun rises over the mountaintop, Hefeng Town is bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
Another day of work begins for the people.
However, at the entrance of a house on a street in Hefeng Town, a large crowd of people gathered, each with an angry expression on their face.
Some people even had rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and small stones in their hands.
They threw it over the fence of the yard.
Of course, there were also all sorts of harsh insults.
"Get out here! You heartless woman! How could someone with such wicked intentions be here!"
"You wicked woman, whatever you do to my husband, I will make you pay with your life!"
"You fickle and wicked woman, it's one thing to flaunt your charms in front of so many people, but you even dare to serve guests food with problems? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"We only went to support you because we trusted and respected you, and how did you treat us? Where is your conscience? Did a dog eat your conscience?"
"We must be blind to believe you, you wicked woman! You only care about making money and have no regard for the lives of others!"
Perhaps because they heard no response from inside while cursing, these people started knocking on the door incessantly.
"Knock knock knock~"
"Knock knock knock~"
"Knock knock knock~"
That wooden door endured far too many blows it shouldn't have had to bear.
With each blow, it seemed to grow angry, and it appeared as if it was about to collapse.
Before Erpang and Tiezhu could even understand what was happening, they had already become part of the door-blocking team.
Suddenly, the knocking stopped, but blood seeped out from under the door.
Erpang's clothes were immediately stained with blood, and the soil beneath his feet was gradually soaked with blood.
"Oh my god, there's still blood!" He suddenly jumped back from the door, pulled at his blood-stained clothes, and felt a pang of heartache.
This is a new dress that his family sewed for him for the New Year. He's only worn it for a few days, how could it be stained with blood!
Li Wei remained relatively calm. He squatted down, wiped the blood off the ground, smelled it, and said, "It's dog blood."
Without even thinking about it, everyone knows it's just black dog blood, used for exorcising evil spirits.
They splashed black dog blood at Wan Qiqi's doorstep to remove her as something filthy.
Li Wei rubbed his fingers, stood up and looked at Wan Qiqi sitting in the courtyard.
The troublemakers had already arrived at her doorstep, so why was she still sitting so calmly drinking tea?
They didn't know that beneath Wan Qiqi's calm exterior lay a volatile heart.
For every insult she receives from the outside, she silently retorts in her mind.
Are the people who make these noodles brain-dead? They don't even use their brains when they do things.
However, she appeared calm on the surface, showing no trace of cursing.
Wan Qiqi thought to herself, "These people must have already gone to find Zhu Chengye to get here."
The people knew where Zhu Chengye lived, which was not suspicious. What was suspicious was how the people knew that she had only lived there for a few days.
It seems that someone is stirring things up behind the scenes and instigating the people, which has led to the current situation.
Rotten eggs flew over the wall and landed in the yard, emitting a foul stench.
Li Wei covered his nose and asked, "Sister-in-law, how about I take you somewhere else?"
With his skills, it shouldn't be a problem for him to take Wan Qiqi over the wall and escape from the people.
Wan Qiqi finally got up.
Li Wei thought she agreed with his suggestion and was about to call his brothers to take action when he heard Wan Qiqi say something that shocked everyone.
"Open the door!"
Li Wei looked astonished. "Sister-in-law... are you serious?"
"Okay, open the door!" Wan Qiqi remained firm in her decision. "Once outside, Li Wei, keep an eye on the crowd and look for the person who instigated them. Be careful, they might be quite skilled."
Li Wei was stunned, somewhat confused by her words.
Wu Gousheng seemed to understand Wan Qiqi's words, and immediately grabbed a wood-chopping knife, assuming a protective stance towards Wan Qiqi.
Wan Qiqi glanced at him and said, "If you hurt someone, I can't bail you out. Hand over the arrest to the martial arts school, and you just need to help me block those rotten eggs."
She really couldn't stand the smell.
The courtyard gate opened, and countless rotten leaves and rotten eggs came flying at us.
Wu Gousheng was prepared; he took the umbrella from his hand and blocked them one by one.
Wan Qiqi appeared before the people cleanly and neatly.
Li Wei and his brothers from the martial arts school kept a vigilant eye on the crowd, trying to find out who was causing trouble.
The purpose of learning martial arts is to eliminate evil and punish wrongdoing.
Now, they are filled with passion.
The people seemed a little bewildered by the sudden opening of the doors.
They assumed Wan Qiqi would remain hidden inside or escape by climbing over the wall, never imagining she would appear from the front door.
They were even stunned for a long time after seeing Wan Qiqi.
The person before me had gentle features, and her light blue dress made her look fresh and elegant, like a young lady from a wealthy family.
"Who...who are you?" someone asked.
Although they had inquired and confirmed that Wan Qiqi did indeed live there, they could not be certain that the person in front of them was Wan Qiqi.
"I am Wan Qiqi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in an uproar.
They seemed to find it hard to believe that the person in front of them was Wan Qiqi, or that heartless shopkeeper.
She really looks just like a young lady from a wealthy family!
Wan Qiqi bowed to the people and said, "I apologize. The Xinglong Restaurant incident was due to our negligence as managers, which caused your family members to fall ill. As the manager of Xinglong Restaurant, I cannot shirk my responsibility. Here, I would like to apologize to you all!"
It wasn't until these words came out that everyone vaguely believed she was Wan Qiqi.
Someone mustered up the courage to ask, "Why do you look different from the rumors?"
Wan Qiqi smiled boldly and replied calmly, "Since it's a rumor, there must be something false in it. Besides, even things seen with one's own eyes can sometimes be false."
"You really served moldy ingredients to the restaurant's customers?"
