farmer's wife

Chapter 201 Back to Mother's Home

Why, you know that little brat can't hold on alone, now you want to change your mind to keep him?

Guo Wei stopped in his tracks reservedly, turned his body half sideways and raised his head to slightly look down at Fu Yan: "Madam, what advice do you have?"

Fu Yan lowered her head and played with the cup in her hand, and said with a light smile, "It's not about teaching, but I just want to get back some of my own things."

Guo Wei's heart skipped a beat.

Get back your own things?Is it possible that the matter of earning money and getting kickbacks was discovered?

This is impossible! !Every time it is the purchase quantity that he sets, and in the back kitchen, he has the final say on how much to use and how little to use.The concealment he did didn't even let the two apprentices handle it, and the shopkeeper didn't know about it.How long has it been since the new owner took over and where did he know the news?
"If you don't want people to know, you have to do nothing. You can leave, and those who took my inn have to be returned, otherwise the government's yamen will always be open."

This is a threat!Seeing Fu Yanyun sitting there calmly, but slandering the three of them with dirty hands and feet, the two apprentices behind Guo Wei flushed with anger and glared at her.

"You... What nonsense are you talking about? It's not enough to drive us away, you have to slander our reputation!"

"Oh? Slander? Why don't you ask your master."

Guo Wei reached out his hand to stop the apprentice who was about to move, and stared at Fu Yan darkly: "I, Guo Wei, was 14 years old and studied art with a teacher, and I have enjoyed a reputation for half my life. Madam, you can't just talk about it casually."

He stared at Fu Yan's expression, secretly thinking about how much Fu Yan knew.

"Didn't you ruin your reputation by what you did?" Fu Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, "It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin. Forget it, you take him down to meet people, shopkeeper Cheng. The answer must be calculated clearly, and I will get back any money missing."

"Yes." The guard behind Fu Yan came over in response, and carried the three of them out of the private room.Guo Wei was like a fat bug, struggling hard, "What are you doing? Could it be that you are going to take advantage of the power of the Duke's Mansion to beat you up?!"

"This, this... I'll go down and have a look." Shopkeeper Cheng wiped off his sweat, and followed him out.

As soon as the group arrived downstairs, they saw several companies that delivered goods to the inn on weekdays, waiting in the lobby with sad faces.Seeing Guo Wei being framed like that, he knew there was no hope.

They were just ordinary civilians, they just listened to Guo Wei's advice and paid for some greedy money, so how dare they provoke this powerful boss.So shopkeeper Cheng asked what they said.

It's better to pay some money than to be sent to the government office to be boarded and then lose money.

Guo Wei was still struggling to deny it at first, but when these people made up their minds and took out their account books, he stood there like a dead pig, unable to refute.

Shopkeeper Cheng and his two apprentices looked at him repeatedly in surprise.I didn't expect Guo Wei to do so many things in private.

Shopkeeper Cheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. In the past, he treated Guo Wei well!Shopkeeper Cheng took the account book without saying a word and checked them one by one on the spot.

The guards in Yongyi's mansion were burly and unsmiling, with them guarding the door, Guo Wei couldn't escape even if he wanted to.The evidence was conclusive, and in the end Guo Wei had no choice but to ask his apprentice to go to fetch the bank notes and lose money.

The money that he had worked so hard to save for several years was all in vain. Guo Wei itched his teeth angrily. Before going out, he turned his head and spit, and yelled at the shopkeeper Cheng: "Wait, it's gone!" Let me see if this dilapidated restaurant of yours can continue to operate!"

Shopkeeper Cheng gave him a blank look: "Don't worry about it, you should think about who will dare to use you again after you figure out this door."

"Pooh!"

Shopkeeper Cheng sent these people away, and went to see Fu Yan with the re-liquidated accounts and bank notes, and regretted that his management was not good.

If the owner wanted to fire him, he would have nothing to say.

Fu Yan looked through the accounts, and pushed the banknotes back to him: "These banknotes are included in the account of the restaurant, shopkeeper Cheng will keep them first. A Yang is young, and I hope shopkeeper Cheng will take him more in the future."

"The shopkeeper Lao Cheng taught me." Shi Yang got up and saluted with fists.

Cheng Wenkui has worked conscientiously as the shopkeeper for so many years. He is honest and diligent, fair and not greedy. With him in the new restaurant, things will be much less.Moreover, opening a restaurant is different from a pastry shop after all, Shi Yang is indeed still young, and he has to be guided by someone who is familiar with him before he can stand alone in the future.Therefore, after Fu Yan knew that Cheng Wenkui was not involved in this matter, she decided to keep him in charge.

"My boss, don't worry, I will take good care of the restaurant. Brother Ayang, if you don't understand anything, just ask me." Cheng Wenkui patted his chest, wishing to hand over everything he knew to Shi Yang to repay the trust of his boss.

Fu Yan smiled, leaving the two of them to continue talking familiarly, and went back to the mansion by themselves.

In the afternoon, when Fu Yan walked into Mingyu Hall, Ye Tianling was holding Nuo Nuo carefully to tease her, while Qi Tong and Granny Shi were on the side to guide her in the posture of holding the child.

"Tianling is back?" Fu Yan and Qi Tong greeted each other, then walked to Ye Tianling and sat down.

Nuonuo was originally sitting obediently in Ye Tianling's arms, when she saw her mother come back, she "giggled" and threw herself into her arms with a smile, Ye Tianling carried the child to Fu Yan.

Fu Yan nodded her daughter's little nose, smiled and said to Ye Tianling: "She's acting like a ghost now, did she bother you?"

Ye Tianling's gentle gaze rested on Nuo Nuo's body, and she loved this little dumpling carved with jade, "No, Nuo Nuo is very good, she won't admit to being born even if I hug her."

Ye Tianling didn't come back many times before, and Nuonuo was not familiar with her.Fortunately, there are Granny Shi, Qi Tong and others by her side. She is bold, so she never cried.

"That was when you didn't see her making a fuss, and she was very sad when she cried." Fu Yan's face was full of tenderness when he said the disgusting words.Ye Tianling looked enviously, and stroked his stomach secretly.

She has been married for almost two years, but she has never had a child of her own.Although her mother-in-law and husband did not urge her, she was also a little anxious.

Fu Yan caught Ye Tianling's movements from the corner of his eyes, changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Tianling is here this time, why don't you stay for two more days. The princess has invited a troupe to the mansion again. Don't you like to listen? Stay with me." The princess should watch a few more scenes."

Since the departure of the army, the Yunjing city and the mansion have calmed down again these days. Qi Tong didn't talk about the war with Fu Yan, and they each found something to do. To pass the time, they invited the theater troupe into the mansion.

Ye Tianling was also worried about her mother because of the expedition, so she explained to her mother-in-law and came back to stay with her for a few days.

"That's good, I have to stay for a few more days in order to listen to more scenes." Ye Tianling said coquettishly to Qi Tong, "Mother, don't bother me!"

"Go, go, I'm bothering you." Seeing his daughter coming back, Qi Tong had a smile on his face.
