Chapter 157 Money Scorpion
Xu Yiyi said nothing and took the written contract to Hong Gang and Zhang Juran.
"Sign and stamp."
Xu Yiyi nodded his chin and signaled Lao Liu to untie the two men.
Hong Gang twisted his wrist and picked up the contract written by Xu Yiyi to take a look.
Laughed angrily.
"What do you mean you're not allowed to do anything bad to your restaurant in the future? You're not allowed to target your restaurant, or else you'll be fined 100 taels each time?"
Are you crazy? Hong Gang took a quick look.
Xu Yiyi is really a bandit!
They are going crazy trying to grab money.
"Let me see."
Zhang Ju Ran glanced at it briefly, said nothing, and consciously took the pen to write his name and press his fingerprint.
"Why don't you say something if it's not you?"
Hong Gang glanced at Zhang Ju Ran. He was a money scorpion. He would not spit out the money once it came into his hands.
Xiangruiju is one of the best restaurants in Ping'an Town. It has made a lot of money over the years, but Zhang Juran's wife and children are not dressed as well as Xu Yiyi.
He was reluctant to spend money even on his own wife and children, but he gave Xu Yiyi two hundred taels of silver all at once.
This really surprised Hong Gang.
"What did I say? I'm afraid of being embarrassed."
Zhang Ju Ran snorted, stood up and quickly left the restaurant.
He had deep resentment towards Hong Gang in his heart. If Hong Gang had not been dragged into this, would he have to pay this money?
Xu Yiyi watched Zhang Juran leave, then returned her gaze to Hong Gang, staring at him.
"If you regret it, that's easy to say. We can just go directly to the government office."
Xu Yiyi pursed her lips, and Hong Gang no longer hesitated to write down his name and put his fingerprints on it.
"Boss Xu, please leave some room for us to meet again in the future. But you did such a ruthless thing today. Don't come to me to beg for mercy in the future."
Hong Gang snorted coldly, and Lao Liu sent him out with a sneer on his face.
"I'll get the money for you."
Having said that, he followed Hong Gang into Ruyi Residence without caring about Xu Yiyi's reaction.
As soon as Xu Yiyi sat down, someone from Xiangruiju came and respectfully handed Xu Yiyi two hundred taels of silver notes, then started to work with a broom and a rag.
As soon as Lao Liu came in, he opened the door and stood at the door and shouted, "Boss Hong, you haven't asked anyone to clean the house yet."
A bang came from Ruyijuli.
The next moment, two servants came in with brooms.
When Lao Liu saw this, he immediately felt satisfied.
He walked in and handed the three hundred taels of silver note that Hong Gang paid as compensation to Xu Yiyi.
Even with so much money, he doesn't seem interested at all.
"How's it going? I really helped you make a lot of money. It's a good thing I came back last night."
Lao Liu sat on the floor and took credit for himself.
Xu Yiyi stood up and took him to the backyard.
"Climb up and let me see!"
Xu Yiyi glanced at Lao Liu and saw that he had a puzzled look in his eyes.
"What are you climbing the wall for? Shouldn't we talk about why I stayed?"
"Just climb when I tell you to. We'll talk about this after you're done."
Xu Yiyi glanced over and Lao Liu nodded.
"That's fine."
Lao Liu walked to the corner and looked back at Xu Yiyi.
"Climb!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Liu lightly tapped the ground with his feet and suddenly rose up with the help of the force.
He grabbed the top of the wall with both hands and exerted a little force, then he climbed over the two-meter-high wall like a light swallow.
Xu Yiyi also confirmed his guess.
"Turn back over."
After saying that, Lao Liu returned to the backyard.
It landed silently, like a falling leaf.
"You know martial arts!"
Xu Yiyi said this affirmatively, while Lao Liu lowered his head and brushed off the dust on his body.
Suddenly the movement stopped, "Why did you ask me to climb the wall?"
It doesn’t matter whether Xu Yiyi knows what it looks like or not.
"If you want to know, why don't you just ask me directly? You're wasting my energy. I haven't even had breakfast this morning."
Lao Liu muttered to himself and squatted in the corner.
"Hong Gang and Zhang Juran are both in their prime, each one bigger than both of you, yet you tied them up so easily without getting hurt at all. Naturally, I'm suspicious."
Xu Yiyi said as he placed Wu Yuan on the cradle in the backyard.
"Why didn't you tell me you knew martial arts at the beginning?"
Xu Yiyi sat down and asked with a stern face.
"You didn't even ask."
Lao Liu retorted.
"I asked you from the beginning, what did you say? You said you washed dishes, mopped the floor, brewed wine, and cooked, but you weren't good at any of them. I chased you away several times, but you refused to admit that you knew martial arts. You hid it so well! Lao Liu."
Lao Liu sighed.
"Didn't I wander the world of martial arts when I was young? I could barely be considered a martial artist. I offended someone in Huzhou and was chased all the way to Luoyang. I was seriously injured and had nowhere else to go, so I came back."
Xu Yiyi was a little surprised when she heard this.
"I was afraid those people would chase me here, so I hid my identity and dressed shabbily. I didn't expect that I got used to it over the years and even felt comfortable looking like a beggar."
In just two sentences, it explains it clearly.
"Since you have enemies, I dare not accept you."
Xu Yi kept talking about how she was taking care of several children.
"Nothing."
Lao Liu looked at Xu Yiyi with doubt and quickly began to explain.
"I'm a very petty person. I almost became a one-armed hero. Now I have to seek revenge on them! There was a time when Tan Dalu couldn't find me because I went to Huzhou."
Xu Yiyi was still a little worried.
"How about this! Go check. Song Qingshan's wife is from Huzhou. Her family is the richest in Huzhou. You can go ask him and find out whether Baicaotang was destroyed overnight."
"I will investigate this matter. I will decide whether to accept your offer or not after I have thoroughly investigated it."
Xu Yiyi hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Lao Liu laughed out loud when he heard this. "Go ahead and check it out. I'm sure I can stay."
Xu Yiyi shook his head.
"Don't be too happy too soon. If you want to stay, change your clothes and clean up."
He looked like a beggar and no one dared to approach him.
"It's easy. Just make me some clothes, just like you did yesterday. I promise to keep them clean."
Lao Liu thought to himself, he has been so sloppy for so many years.
It's time to dress up too.
"What's your real name? Lao Liu doesn't sound nice."
When Xu Yiyi heard Lao Liu calling out, she would always think of other funny things.
"My last name is Lu, and my given name is Jin. You can just call me Old Lu."
Lao Lu waved his hands, suddenly reached out and scratched his chest, and then flicked his hands.
Xu Yiyi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Don't do this action again in the future, or it's better not to do it, lest you lead my child astray."
"It's up to you, it's up to you. As long as I can stay, you can ask me to do anything. After all that talk, can you take me out to eat? I've been hungry all night."
Lao Lu held his stomach and felt very uncomfortable.
Xu Yiyi sighed again and watched the people from Xiangruiju and Ruyiju finish cleaning the restaurant.
He closed the door and took Lao Lu to the dock.
