Chapter 85 Occupy the Tea Stand
"Just for such a small amount of money, disregarding other people's lives, and making such vicious actions, the Liu family really doesn't treat ordinary people as human beings."

"Boss, the mayor is in our shop at the moment, are you going?"

"Go, go and have a look, does my mother know about this?"

"Can you not know? Everyone in the town knows that no one dares to come to our shop to buy things. However, what you said to that man last time was passed on by the vendors.

The common people are full of praises for you, and everyone still only protects you, but they are all small families, and they are afraid of the power of the Liu family, so don't take it to heart. "

Xi'er followed shopkeeper Fang to the shop, where Xiao Jian was sitting and drinking tea, when he saw her coming, he waved.

"Where did you go, I haven't seen anyone for several days"

"Take a trip and look elsewhere"

"Your shop is about to close, I think you still look like a normal person?"

"There's always a way out,"

"When you were away, Qi Yuan came here because of this incident. He told us to be careful. The prefect of Quzhou is a greedy man. His family said he was a businessman. In fact, he just saw who made money. With the power in his hand, he obediently obeyed him. I didn’t invest any money in the profits I grabbed.”

Xi'er thought for a while, "Shopkeeper Fang, the shop will be closed for a few days, and we won't be wholesalers, but the workshop will continue, and all production will be stored in the warehouse. Keep the gate well, and don't allow anyone to take advantage of the loopholes."

"Yes, Master"

"Also, inquire about the injuries of the vendors and record them in the register. I will compensate them according to their losses. I can't let these vendors suffer because of us."

Shopkeeper Fang was taken aback, "That's a lot of money."

"You can make more money when the silver flowers are gone, but they can't make money anymore. The whole family will drink the northwest wind, so let's go"

Shopkeeper Fang went to the back tent, Xi'er looked up at Xiao Jian.

"You are sitting here drinking tea, are you here to serve as a treasure for this shop?"

"Haha, since the shop is going to be closed, I'll go back to accompany my wife, she will give birth soon."

"Well, it's more important to stay with Sister Qiao, I'm here to make you worry."

"Listening to this sentence is still like a person's words"

"Let's go now"

Xiao Jian was chased away by Xi'er, and she ordered the two assistants to "close the shop"

"Yes"

When Xi'er came home, she didn't even enter the door, when she heard several people talking in the upper room.

As soon as she lifted the curtain and walked in, she saw Aunt Ma, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Su were all there.

When Mrs. Luo saw her back, tears fell down her cheeks.

"Girl, you are back. Something happened at home, do you know?"

"I know, it's just that some people are jealous of our business and make trouble secretly. Seeing you crying, the sky hasn't fallen. No matter how sad it is, can it be harder than before? The big deal is that once the shop and workshop are sold, the money will be enough for us for the rest of our lives. "

The people at the side quickly responded, "That's right, what Xi'er said is right, you can't be overthinking, your body is more important."

Xi'er stepped forward, greeted all three of them, and then sat aside, while Nanny Zhou hurried over to pour tea for her.

Mrs. Luo wiped away her tears, "You said that we are farming the land for business, why do some people can't stand it?"

"Mother, don't be angry anymore. My daughter believes that good people will be rewarded with good rewards, and bad people will be rewarded with bad rewards. It's not that they will not be rewarded. The time has not come. I believe that God will not let any bad person go. Wouldn't the Li family suffer retribution? You see How miserable they are now"

"When did they get it, they injured a lot of vendors for our little money"

"You don't have to worry about it. Our family just doesn't make money, and it's not a prison. I've already ordered people to close the shop. Check back in a few days. There will always be a solution."

"It's all my old woman who is useless and can't help you with anything"

Xi'er stood up, and said to everyone present: "You can accompany my mother, and have dinner at my house tonight, I'll go out for a while"

After going out, she went to the field to have a look. The black cow saw her and ran up to him wagging its tail. She patted its head.

"Have strangers approached the workshop and the vegetable garden?"

"Wang, Wang"

"Well, continue to guard, where is the black panther?"

"Wang Wang"

"You two still have a division of labor? One is looking at the workshop and the other is looking at this place. That's right. I'll reward you later."

When she came to the town, she saw Uncle Ma waiting for a job at the town board, his face was bruised and purple, so she clenched her fists.

"Uncle, who hit this?"

"I don't know each other. A few people stopped me on the way. Fortunately, my son and I got out of the car together, so we didn't get seriously injured."

"Then you are still pulling your feet here?"

"It's okay to pull your feet, but you can't pull goods. As long as the goods come from Luo's shop, they will all be blocked."

"Where did they stop? You tell me"

"Sixty miles to the south, there is a tea stall next to them. I seem to see them coming out of there."

"Well, I see." After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Uncle Ma hurriedly called to her, "Girl, don't go, you can't beat them"

"I'll go and have a look, I don't want to fight, just look at it from a distance"

"Then I'll take you there?"

"No, I'm small and won't attract their attention"

Xi'er walked south along the official road. She took out a basket from the space, carried it behind her back, put some pasture in it, and took a sickle in her hand.

She didn't see anyone along the way, she mobilized her cultivation, took five steps and galloped forward, and arrived at the place Uncle Ma said in a quarter of an hour.

Sure enough, he saw a tea stall with two tables and eight long benches. Four strong men were sitting on one of the tables, and an old man was busy pouring tea for them.

The old man was full of sadness, silently poured tea for the four people, and then went to the side, he sat outside and sighed softly.

I'm afraid these guys have been here for a long time, drinking tea for free without giving money, and occupying the tea stall.

She approached slowly, licked her lips lightly, "Uncle, bring me a bowl of tea, I'm so thirsty"

Seeing her, the old man forced a smile, "Girl, have you gone out to hunt pigweed?"

"Well, I'm so thirsty"

"Come on, Uncle will pour you a bowl of water. You don't need money. Drink it and go home early. It's such a hot day and you still go out to work. What if you get heatstroke?"

Xi'er glanced at him gratefully, knowing that the old man had a good heart, and the people next to him were not good people, so she said that because she was afraid that they would have unreasonable thoughts about her.

Xi'er drank the water, then took out a penny from her pocket and put it in the old man's hand.

"It's right to pay for tea, you still have to support your family."

When she said this, those men with fleshy faces glared at her.

"A bowl of water is not worth a penny"

"Then next time I come to drink, you don't need to charge money."

"That's fine, then I'll remember for you, you don't need to pay for this penny in the future"

"it is good"

It was really hot this day, especially when it was approaching noon. The cicadas on the tree kept calling, which made people very irritable.

Xi'er is already 1.5 meters tall. If she doesn't look at her face, she looks like a young girl who is about to grow up. The scar on her face has faded a lot, but it also affects her appearance.

She was only wearing a layer of unlined clothing, and the parts where the flesh was exposed were very clear, especially the part where she deliberately rolled up the sleeves, which was even more pink from the sun. After seeing it, the four people swallowed saliva.

Then you winked at me, and I winked at you. The old man seemed to have noticed something, and hurriedly said to Xi'er:

"Girl, go home quickly, there is no one on the road at noon at this moment, you must pay attention to safety, run quickly"

He whispered the next three words in her ear anxiously.

Xi'er quickly wiped her mouth, then ran away with the basket on her back, then turned again and entered a small dirt road.

Several men stood up and shook their fists at the old man.

"Meddle in your own business, I think you are looking for death, I will deal with you when I come back after the master has had a good time"
