Chapter 409 Losing Both Wife and Army
The customer readily admitted his mistake, showing a quick and decisive attitude, a stark contrast to his previous attempts to justify himself.
Xu Yiyi lowered her eyes and stared at him: "Unsteady on your feet? I think you have ulterior motives."
"That's right! Publicly harassing women is punishable by a beating."
Xu Anyang stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the merchant's greasy face and felt disgusted.
In contrast, although Fatty Wang was fat, he looked much kinder.
Upon hearing this, the merchant cleared his throat and unconsciously began to scrutinize Xu Yiyi.
Seeing her bare chest, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "A woman? She doesn't count, does she?"
"Is she a woman?"
Xu Anyang rolled his eyes and kicked him in the leg.
"Ok?"
Zhong Congyun stared at the merchant, who trembled in fright, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
The merchant pleaded, his voice trembling with tears, "Your Honor, have mercy! Mr. Xu, have mercy! I'm willing to apologize, I'm willing to compensate Mr. Xu!"
After saying that, he quickly took out the money bag and wanted to hand it to Xu Yiyi.
Unfortunately, she didn't answer.
The merchant, feeling intimidated, placed his money bag on the table: "Mr. Xu, this money is compensation for you. Please, be lenient!"
"You don't need to be afraid! Even if you really didn't touch her, she can't do anything to you! She can't threaten you, can she?"
Hong Gang stood beside him, covering his face, and offered words of comfort.
"Shut up! Do I even know you?"
Xu Yiyi glanced calmly at the hem of her dress, then turned around and faced away from everyone.
"Have you thought this through? The oil stains are still there."
Upon seeing this, the customer instinctively looked at his palm.
While eating shrimp, my hands were covered in sauce, and of all things, it ended up getting on Xu Yiyi's clothes.
Well, now the evidence is solid.
"Yi-Yi, what are you thinking?"
Zhong Congyun glanced at the money bag on the table: "If you insist on making him get a beating, I'll take him back right now."
Upon hearing this, the merchant's face turned bitter.
He knelt down and kowtowed right in front of everyone.
"Alright! Get lost, you're annoying to look at."
Xu Yiyi glanced at him impatiently.
Zhong Congyun understood and sternly said to the merchant, "Did you hear me? Get out of here right now! If I find out you're causing trouble here again, you can forget about taking your cargo away!"
The merchants, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, scrambled to leave the restaurant.
"and many more!"
The merchant's face fell, and he almost burst into tears.
He forced a smile: "What else do you need?"
"Trying to dine and dash? You haven't paid for your meal yet."
Xu Yiyi said in a cold tone.
"But...where is all my money? Can the meal expenses be deducted from it?"
The merchant searched his entire body but couldn't find a single word. He then pointed awkwardly to the money bag on the table.
"Isn't that the compensation you gave me?"
Xu Yiyi stared at the merchant and forced a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes... it's compensation, but I have no money..."
The merchant was on the verge of tears, which drew cheers from the diners.
"Now you know you were wrong? Where were you before?"
Old Lu leaned casually against the wall, looking around. He recalled the ruthlessness Xu Yiyi displayed when killing Xie Yushu. Luckily, there were many people around, otherwise that bastard would definitely have been dealt with by Xu Yiyi.
Snap! The kind that doesn't hold back.
"Hurry up, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, just go back with the officers and get a beating first."
Xu Yiyi said very understandingly.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Upon hearing the threat of being flogged, the merchant dared not haggle any longer and quickly removed the thumb ring from his hand.
This is a mutton fat jade thumb ring, with a texture as smooth as solidified fat, made from the finest seed material.
Very expensive!
Extremely expensive!
The merchant felt a pang of heartache as he watched Xu Anyang casually hold the thumb ring in his hand.
"Mr. Xu, you can keep this ring for now. You can exchange it for it later with the money, how about that?"
The merchant was really reluctant to part with it and tried to negotiate.
He had intended to pass this jade thumb ring on to his son, but now that he'd given it away, how could he not be heartbroken?
Noticing the customer's reluctant gaze, Xu Yiyi said nonchalantly, "Alright, you can get lost now."
The merchant pursed his lips, slunk out of the restaurant without even daring to look back.
This time, we really lost both our wife and our army.
……
Once everyone left, Hong Gang started causing trouble again.
"He attacked first, I didn't!"
Hong Gang pointed to the handprint on his face and looked at Zhong Congyun, saying, "See that? I got slapped for no reason?"
Old Lu snorted coldly and walked up the mountain from behind the crowd.
“This is what I typed, here you go…”
Old Lu nonchalantly stretched out his hands: "Arrest me! Give me a beating if I need it, I'm not afraid of you!"
Hong Gang was furious at his nonchalant attitude.
"Hmph! I'll let you off the hook!"
Hong Gang stormed back to the next room.
Inside the lobby of Wufu Restaurant, diners burst into laughter and chatter.
"Sihai, come down quickly."
Xu Yiyi stepped forward and picked up the child. Afu, who was stunned, also came to his senses and hurriedly took a broom from behind to sweep up the wood chips on the ground.
Zhong Congyun walked over and said gently, "It's alright. If you need anything in the future, just send someone to the government office to find me."
Xu Yi nodded: "Thank you."
Having received a response, Zhong Congyun's gaze remained fixed on Xu Yiyi's face.
He didn't speak for a long time.
"Yi-yi, I will protect you."
Xu Yi looked at the man in front of her and calmly asked, "Don't you have anything to do?"
Zhong Congyun fell silent, his expression turning indifferent.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore."
……
"Useless! Who did you find? You can't even read my eyes."
After returning to Ruyi Residence, Hong Gang, still furious, kicked the servant.
"Boss! Do you really think the little money you're offering is enough to hire such a wealthy person dressed in such fine clothes?"
The servant sighed and patted the dust off his clothes.
Regardless of the jade thumb ring, let's talk about the clothes first; they already exceeded the ten taels of silver that Hong Gang gave him.
"In that case, how much of the money I gave you is left? Take it back now."
Hong Gang regretted it.
We shouldn't give him the rest of the money.
"It's gone."
Hong Gang was even angrier when he heard this: "Gone?"
The servant nodded.
"Ten taels of silver! And you just spent it all?"
Hong Gang was seething with anger, but when he saw the guest come in, he subconsciously put on a smile.
"You better make sure the person you find can cause a lot of trouble for the neighbors, or I'll make you regret it."
After saying that, Hong Gang stepped forward with a smile to greet the guests.
"Holy crap! That bastard wasn't wrong, this ring is valuable! Extremely valuable."
In the backyard, Old Lu held the jade thumb ring and kept looking at it against the top light.
"Really valuable?"
Seeing Lao Lu's greedy appearance, Xu Anyang couldn't help but become curious.
"Nonsense! This ring could easily buy this place and the place next door."
