Volume 1: I didn’t know when I traveled through the beginning Chapter 139 Why bother
"You are sorry for me now." Haoyue said coldly. "This is my shop. What do you want to do if you are embarrassed and conspicuous here?"
The female cousin worker quickly wanted to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Haoyue said before her: "Come in with me, do you still want to be embarrassed here?"
When the cousin female worker heard what Haoyue said, she closed her mouth and glanced around. Seeing everyone around her looking at her, she finally felt that she was embarrassed here. When she lowered her head, she saw her cousin's face again. On her pear-shaped face, those eyes were looking at her innocently. She was so filled with hatred that she couldn't say anything and could only give her cousin a fierce look.
Seeing her cousin's stern look, she shrank her neck in fear.
The four of them walked into the back room. The people watching outside could no longer see the good show. Some dispersed and went home, while others focused on the facial mask again.
In the back room, Haoyue sat on a chair and looked at the three people below, feeling a headache.
Stealing two facial masks is not a big deal, but I sit here every day, and Shen Chen and Shen Hu guard here every day. I haven't let these evil thoughts go away, but have put them into action. What does this mean? Are the three of them too intimidating, or are they too courageous?
When Haoyue was lost in thought, a scream made her wake up from her thoughts and face reality.
But the reality is that the four of them entered the back room. The female cousin waited for a long time, but Haoyue didn't speak. When she looked around, she found that her cousin was peeking at her in such a weak and aggrieved manner. The cousin was very angry. The female worker didn't care that Haoyue was right next to her. She stretched out her hand and pinched her cousin's arm hard.
Maybe her cousin was pinched so much that she couldn't help but scream. And her scream successfully attracted Haoyue's eyes.
Haoyue looked at her cousin, who still had tears in her eyes, and then at her female cousin, who had her hands behind her back and looked at her cousin anxiously, with a smile on her lips. Trying to keep her voice as soft as possible, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Although he asked this question, Haoyue could tell at a glance what was going on at this scene. He just laughed in anger when he saw his cousin, the female worker, not taking him seriously.
The cousin female worker looked at the gentle smiling Haoyue and this little girl who seemed to have no intentions, gritted her teeth and decided to give it a go.
"It's nothing. Shopkeeper, don't listen to this bitch's nonsense. She really stole it. Aunt Li also saw it, right?" The cousin female worker asked another female worker who had been following her and was not asked by Haoyue. .
The female worker who was called Aunt Li looked at her female cousin and nodded: "Yes, I saw it. It wasn't Xiaoxia who stole the facial mask, it was Xiaocui who stole it. Xiaocui, your cousin treats you well." "It's okay that you did something wrong yourself, how can you blame your cousin?" It turns out that the cousin's female worker's name is Xiaoxia, and the cousin's female worker's name is Xiaocui. Aunt Li looked at Xiaocui who was sobbing quietly at the side, as if He said it like a heart-to-heart talk.
"No, I didn't. Aunt Li, what's wrong with you? I really didn't steal it from the shopkeeper." Xiaocui never expected that Aunt Li would say this, tears fell again, and she hurriedly defended herself.
Haoyue smiled, looked at Aunt Li who rolled her eyes twice, and thought to herself, 'So she is also involved.'
Haoyue has completely figured out the current situation. These female workers treat her as a child and don't take her seriously. Fortunately, they can't do anything big wrong, because the secret recipe for making facial masks has not yet been discovered.
After leaking out, they have no opponents, so they can't do anything to betray themselves. Now all they can do is steal a few facial masks, sell them secretly, or use them themselves.
To put it bluntly, it was her fault for being too confident. She thought that with such an obvious guard, these workers would be wary and not dare to take action. In addition, because of her lazy temperament, she did not look at the store very seriously.
.This made these individuals become bolder and take her facial mask at will.
Although Haoyue has not carefully calculated the number of missing masks, she can guarantee that it is definitely not a small number. This kind of thing happens once and twice. If you succeed once, you will be more courageous the second time, and finally you will become familiar with the way.
Although this facial mask is just a piece of rag in the final analysis, the value of this piece of rag is not small. If you think according to the former, Haoyue can still smile indifferently, not taking it seriously at all, and not remembering it in his heart. But when he thinks of it,
In the latter case, Haoyue had the urge to grind his teeth.
In her opinion, those pieces of cloth are no longer cloth, but white silver. Just like a juicer, it is not just a piece of wood, it is something that can earn Zuifengxian a lot of silver!
Although Haoyue has made a lot of money from facial masks, enough to buy a courtyard in the city, enough to achieve her goal. However, even if she does not need more money for the time being, she is not willing to use the money that originally belongs to her pocket.
Stolen by shameless pickpockets.
Looking at the three people who were arguing in front of me at some point, looking at Xiaocui who fell to the ground again, and looking at her black hair scattered around. Hearing the screams and arguments of the two women beside his ears, Haoyue suddenly
I feel agitated in my heart. I don’t want to fight guerrilla warfare anymore, and I don’t want to listen to their lies anymore. I just want the people around me to calm down and my heart to calm down.
"That's enough!" The scream of the child's voice was still a bit harsh, and it was precisely because of its harshness that Xiaoxia and Aunt Li could hear it and stop arguing and look at Haoyue.
Haoyue closed her eyes and exhaled, trying to suppress the annoyance in her heart and not wanting to get angry. However, real annoyance can be suppressed even if it wants to be suppressed.
Haoyue finally raised her voice and said sternly: "Stop arguing, do you think I'm a fool? Is it because my eyes don't work well, or my ears don't work well, or my brain doesn't work well?" Haoyue said three times in a row.
"It's not easy", he also looked at the three people at the same time.
"Do you think I'm young and stupid, and I can't judge or understand anything you do or say?" Haoyue gritted his teeth and said fiercely. Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the three people opposite him,
Looking at himself, he seemed to be right, and the anger in his heart became even stronger.
"Okay! I know what's going on." Haoyue frowned, and suddenly felt that his mouth was very dry and bitter, as if the anger in his heart rushed into his mouth and burned all the water in his mouth.
"You, go ask Shen Chen to get me some water to drink." The bitterness in his mouth was so unbearable that Haoyue had to temporarily digress and ask for water.
The reason why Shen Chen was asked to fetch water was entirely because Haoyue could not trust anyone else but only Shen Chen.
Shen Chen also knew her habit of drinking water. She must boil the water, otherwise she would feel unclean and would not drink it. So every day, Shen Chen estimated the time when Haoyue would arrive at the store and boiled it early.
Boil water and let it cool down for Haoyue to drink when she is thirsty.
He also knew that Haoyue didn't like to drink from utensils that others had used or might have used. She had to use her own cup and rinse the water before pouring it. If someone else did these things, they would definitely find it objectionable. Instead of doing the trouble, I just found something, filled it with well water and sent it to Haoyue.
And Haoyue knows that Shen Chen will never do this. Even if he finds it troublesome, he will still do as he asks. Therefore, although Shen Chen is the housekeeper of this beautiful house, Haoyue, the shopkeeper, needs to drink water. He personally went to collect it.
Aunt Li was stunned when she was suddenly pointed out. She didn't react to Haoyue's sudden change of topic and just looked at her stupidly.
Haoyue waited for a long time, but saw no movement from Aunt Li. She only felt that her mouth was extremely dry and bitter, as if the fire was burning to her lips. She shouted angrily: "I told you to get water, do you hear me? Are you listening to me?" Doesn’t it work? Go and ask Shen Chen to bring me some water!"
The female workers in this shop had never seen Haoyue get angry before, especially Aunt Li who had just arrived. At this time, when she heard Haoyue yelling angrily, she felt her heart tremble, and she quickly went out to find Shen Chen. .
Xiaoxia, who was also shocked by Haoyue's move, started to tremble uncontrollably. She thought her feeling was right. Such a powerful aura was definitely emanating from the child sitting opposite. of.
Now she has no time to think about whether Haoyue has a profound background and whether he is a powerful person. Now she is just thinking in her heart, did the shopkeeper's words just now mean that she saw through her lie? And when did she see through it? ? I have said so much that I am panicking. Seeing how angry the shopkeeper is now, what will he do to him?
At this time, Xiaoxia remembered what Haoyue said before, "You have to know that as long as no one is killed, the government will not care about what the shopkeeper wants to do with the workers." Yes, workers' lives are theirs. You are cheap, you have no money or wealth, as long as you don't get killed, you can sue the officials. If you can't get the money, the officials won't take any notice.
Xiaoxia was thinking about it, and her body was shaking even more violently. Could it be that the shopkeeper was going to use some severe means to punish her? Let her live to feel the inhuman pain?
Xiaocui inadvertently looked up and saw her cousin shaking like chaff. She was so frightened that she forgot that Haoyue was still there, and couldn't help shouting: "Cousin, cousin, what's wrong with you? Are you cold?" "As Xiao Cui said, she rushed forward and hugged Xiao Xia tightly, trying to give her some warmth.
When Haoyue heard her exclamation, she raised her head and looked at Xiaoxia, only to see her whole body shaking uncontrollably, as if her whole body was convulsing and having an epileptic fit. She immediately stood up from where she was and shouted: "Hold her up. Get to that chair and go find the doctor, go!"
Xiaocui, who had been scared to death for a long time, heard Haoyue's shout and acted according to her words without much thought. After helping Xiaoxia to the chair, she ran out quickly, with tears on her face. There was no time to wipe it.
