Chapter 396 Reprimanding Chen Yongliang
Although the commotion in front of the restaurant has subsided, many people have flocked inside, eager to see what happens next.
The business, which was originally quiet, became unusually lively due to the influx of these people.
Xiao Liuzi brought down the order and handed it to Wan Qiqi for review.
A quick glance revealed the restaurant's signature dishes, each one quite expensive, and even the tea and wine were the best available in the restaurant.
A quick calculation shows it would cost at least five taels of silver.
What they ordered would be enough for an ordinary person to treat three or five friends to five or six meals.
Si Xi leaned closer, shocked, and exclaimed, "My God! He probably ate a year's worth of wages for one meal!"
Although she was illiterate, Wan Qiqi insisted that everyone in the private room on the second floor must be able to read the menu.
Si Xi memorized the recipe by sheer willpower.
Zhu Chengye glanced at it as well and said in a low voice, "Don't make a fuss."
Wan Qiqi wasn't surprised, after all, everyone at the table was a rich young master who wasn't short of money.
She made sure the restaurant had all the ingredients listed before returning the order to Xiao Liuzi, saying, "Tell the kitchen to prepare properly and not to mess around."
Chen Yongliang wasn't the only one excited to see Tang Qiwen at the restaurant; Lei Zi was too.
He was an impulsive person to begin with, and ever since he learned about Tang Qiwen and the Chen family, he had been cursing and swearing.
Having just learned that Tang Qiwen was at the restaurant, he almost rushed into the front hall with a knife, intending to drive him out.
Xiao Liuzi understood, took the form, and immediately disappeared into the front hall.
Si Xi glanced at Wan Qiqi, then at the stairwell, a hint of amazement still in her eyes.
Wan Qiqi reached out and patted her shoulder, whispering, "Go to the empty private room on the second floor and keep an eye on things. If anything seems amiss, come down and let us know immediately."
"Okay," Sixi replied, and immediately headed towards the stairwell.
Zhu Chengye suddenly instructed, "There are other guests in the private rooms on the second floor, so keep an eye on them."
"Yes, managers, I will definitely do my best!" Sixi said with a smile, and quickly went upstairs.
Wan Qiqi looked on, her eyes still filled with worry, but she still turned and went to the backyard.
Chen Yongliang sat by the well, his unhappiness undisguised. He held a straw in his hand, idly tugging at the stalk.
His eyes held a hint of sadness, and he lowered his head, looking slightly aggrieved.
What he did just now was impulsive, but he didn't want Tang Qiwen to come in and cause trouble.
Wan Qiqi stared at Chen Yongliang for a long time, then looked at the silver ingots beside him, and walked over.
Do you know where you went wrong?
Hearing the voice, Chen Yongliang looked up, curled his lip, and said, "Sister-in-law, he looks suspicious at first glance. Why did you let him in?"
Wan Qiqi's eyes turned slightly cold as she said in a low voice, "It seems you haven't thought it through yet. You'll stay here and think it through before you leave."
"Sister-in-law!" Chen Yongliang said, displeased, "I know I acted impulsively today, but he provoked me first!"
Who saw it? What did he say? Or what did he do?
“No…” Chen Yongliang lowered his head.
Tang Qiwen didn't say or do anything; he just gave Chen Yongliang a look.
But that look in his eyes said it all.
It also reveals Tang Qiwen's ambition to seek revenge.
Wan Qiqi said coldly, "Have you thought about why we offended the Tang family and Tang Qiwen?"
Chen Yongliang was taken aback.
He noticed that his sister-in-law's gaze was unusually cold and her tone of voice was unusually serious.
Why?
He thought back carefully.
It's because of him!
When Tang Qiwen came to collect the money, he refused to pay, which led to his stall being vandalized and him being warned by Tang Qiwen.
But that's Tang Qiwen's fault!
You can set up a stall anywhere in that area, and there's no charge.
Even if taxes are to be collected, it should be the government that collects them, not Tang Qiwen.
Wan Qiqi could tell from Chen Yongliang's eyes that he hadn't considered where he had gone wrong; instead, he seemed to harbor more hatred.
She sighed, a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and said coldly, "Tomorrow during the day, you can ride in Sun Qian's oxcart back to the village to reclaim the wasteland with your second brother!"
Although Chen Yongliang is young, that cannot be used as an excuse for making mistakes.
The time he spent in the restaurant did not make him worldly-wise or opportunistic; instead, it kept him impulsive.
Chen Yongliang is not suitable to stay here; he should be sent out to be tempered.
Chen Yongliang was stunned, his eyes filled with shock.
What did your sister-in-law just say?
His sister-in-law wanted him to go back to the village and not help out at the restaurant anymore.
He can go back, but not now.
Tang Qiwen has already come to the restaurant. What if something happens to his sister-in-law if he goes back?
"No, sister-in-law, I..."
"You won't listen to me anymore? You'll only listen when your older brother comes back?" Wan Qiqi said sternly.
Chen Yongliang had just gotten up when this reprimand silenced him. With a cold face, he said in a low voice, "I'm not going back!"
“Okay, but you’re not allowed to come to the restaurant, and you absolutely cannot provoke the Tang family. You can also go to Yunhe County and find a job…” Wan Qiqi said, then went into the front hall without looking back.
Chen Yongliang sat by the well, his face pale, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Is my sister-in-law trying to kick me out?
Chen Yongliang lowered his head, his eyes glistening with tears.
He didn't understand why his sister-in-law would do this, just because he had just had a conflict with Tang Qiwen?
Xiao Liuzi passed by and, seeing Chen Yongliang's dejected look, went over and whispered, "Brother Yongliang, you acted impulsively just now. If Young Master Tang and Young Master Feng really hold a grudge against you, it's not just you who will be implicated; even Manager Wan will be dragged down by you."
Chen Yongliang looked up, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
