Chapter 151 Old 6
When I saw it was Xu Yiyi, I didn’t know what to do for a moment.
After all, Fang Zhiyi has a very good relationship with her, so for the sake of the county magistrate, they have to turn a blind eye.
Guan Hongtian also knew this and hesitated as he watched Madam Wu being beaten.
Even if he really reported it to the police, the police might wait until Xu Yiyi finished beating him before coming forward, asking a few questions in a pretentious manner, mediating, and finally letting the matter go.
So he just watched coldly and didn't step forward to persuade him.
"That's enough. Don't hit her too hard or you'll have to pay her."
Qingshan saw the two inspectors coming over and quickly spoke up to stop Xu Yiyi's actions.
"Young Master of the winery, it's not certain whether your broken winery can survive for another two years."
Xu Yiyi snorted coldly and let go of Madam Wu's hair.
She never hits people in the face, so Madam Wu just looks like her clothes and hair are a little messy.
There's no apparent injury.
Madam Wu slumped on the ground with her mouth just opened.
Sanchuan covered Wuyuan's ears very naturally.
The child suddenly became curious and looked up at Sanchuan with his little face.
"Boss Xu, what happened? Do you need our help?"
Inspector Zhang came closer and took a look at Madam Wu lying on the ground.
"It's okay, I was just joking with her..."
……
"She hit me..."
The two spoke at the same time, and Mrs. Wu wanted to complain.
Xu Yiyi turned her head and glanced at Guan Hongtian.
"Come on, stop making trouble. If you continue, you'll wake up our son."
Guan Hongtian licked his lips, somewhat afraid to look at Madam Wu's eyes.
"Can't you see that she beat me?"
Madam Wu kicked her legs and was unwilling to get up.
My body is still aching all over, and it hurts so much when I move a little.
"Why were you beaten? You know it in your heart."
Guan Hongtian growled and looked at Madam Wu with something strange in his eyes.
"You cursed someone's brother to death for no reason. A beating would be the least of your punishment."
When Guan Hongtian said this, the two inspectors breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it wasn't Xu Yiyi who started it.
Mrs. Wu looked at Guan Hongtian with tears in her eyes. She never expected that her husband not only did not help her, but also condemned her.
Guan Hongtian knew what she was thinking at a glance.
They quickly pulled the man up and took him away from the dock.
The two inspectors followed suit.
……
"You're really a lot like your father, always protecting his people."
Qingshan sighed and drank some wine.
Looking at Xu Yiyi, he seemed a little dazed.
"How can I bear it if she says this about Wu Yuan?"
Xu Yiyi said helplessly.
"Just fight me. It doesn't matter if we get into a fight. You won't cooperate with Guan Hongtian anyway."
Qingshan said indifferently.
"well said!"
Another voice came.
Before Xu Yiyi could turn around, Lao Liu suddenly sat down in the seat where Guan Hongtian had originally sat.
The children at the table looked at the sloppy old man in front of them with curiosity.
Wuyuan and Sanchuan were closest to each other and were caught off guard.
Wu Yuan frowned and spat it out.
Lao Liu stopped holding the shrimp and glanced around awkwardly.
Finally, he took a handful of shrimps and sat down on the ground aside in shame.
"What are you doing here? You're like a beggar, making the child vomit."
Qingshan said this with disdain and gave all the dishes on the table that Laoliu had touched to him.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry."
Lao Liu protected his food by moving the plate to his legs.
"Actually, I was here when Guan Hongtian came to talk to you. I was just watching the show from the back."
Lao Liu spoke while biting a shrimp.
"I'm telling you, the wine brewed by Guan Hongtian is rubbish. You must never buy his wine."
Lao Liu turned his head to look at Xu Yiyi, and subconsciously moved closer while speaking.
Xu Yiyi only took a look and immediately returned to his original position.
"Guan Hongtian has no talent. The wine he brews is no different from water. If you buy his wine, you're wasting your hard-earned money."
Lao Liu spoke excitedly, nodding from time to time, agreeing with what he said.
"What do you want? Just finish eating and leave."
Qingshan watched him wolf down the food, having only eaten a chicken during the day.
He doesn't look hungry, but he eats as if he hasn't eaten for ten days.
"Why is it none of my business?"
Lao Liu was not convinced.
"I've worked at Qushenglou for so many years. You can't just abandon me when the boss changes, right?"
Er Er turned around and looked at Xu Yiyi, "Big sister? If someone dressed like this works in the restaurant, how can we still have business?"
When Lao Liu heard this, he looked at Xu Yiyi with grievance.
"Boss Tan is your main customer. The restaurant has a new owner, so the people who used to work there shouldn't be the new owner's responsibility."
Xu Yiyi had a stern face and spoke with bated breath.
Lao Liu took another step back.
"I'm already old, and you just say you don't want me anymore? Do you still have any conscience..."
Lao Liu took a vicious bite of the squid, his eyebrows unconsciously relaxed for a moment, then frowned again.
"Stop blackmailing me. I don't have the money to hire anyone."
Xu Yiyi said that she was unwilling to let a beggar-looking person stay in the restaurant no matter what.
"I remember you came to Ping'an Town from the capital with Tan Dalu, right? Tan Dalu is going back to take care of the children, so why are you still staying here?"
Qingshan saw that Laoliu was choking and handed him the wine jug.
"After following Tan Dalu for so many years, you must have saved some money, right? It would be nice to go back to your hometown in the city to retire." Qingshan spoke again.
Lao Liu shook his head.
"I have nothing to do with him."
He drank the wine in the jug with one gulp and let out a long sigh.
"I originally met him on a merchant ship coming to Ping'an Town. After arriving here, he had a little money and started out as a small stall like Boss Xu. He slowly built it up and finally opened Qushenglou."
Recalling the past, Lao Liu couldn't help but sigh.
"As for me, I'm used to being free. I'm alone and I don't have any plans. I left Ping'an Town after a short time and traveled around."
Lao Liu scratched his head and suddenly laughed.
"As far as Chang'an and Luoyang...where haven't I been? I've been so far away that I've become a little overconfident. I got into some trouble and came back to Ping'an Town. By then, Qushenglou had already opened. I went there to ask for some wine, but Tan Dalu recognized me. After learning about my experience, he kept me here. I've been staying here for several years, and he never paid me a single cent!"
Lao Liu spread his hands and indeed he didn't look like a rich man.
"Tan Dalu is a stingy person, he is lucky enough to just provide me with food and drink every day.
He said this with a somewhat dissatisfied look.
"After all that talk, I still don't understand. Why should I keep you?"
Xu Yiyi lowered her eyes and spoke mercilessly.
