Gu's stepmother is worthy of being a family member of a military general, and her way of giving people color is also very direct. Gu Fujun, the top military leader in Fengcheng, feels that there is no need to go through all the twists and turns to clean up the mess.
So, they hired five or six ruffians to destroy the delicious snack shop.
Shangguan Ruo left to send Ling Yue and Wu Lang to school. There were only two servants in the store to greet customers, and Daya was making snacks in the backyard.
Six gangsters broke in and without saying a word, they smashed the place and scattered snacks and cakes all over the floor.
"Ah, ah! Someone is coming!" The two servants screamed.
Da Ya didn't hear it yet, but it alerted people at the Chollima Express Station next door.
Shuan Zhu had just arrived at the door of the shop and was watching the passengers get out of the car. Hearing the noise in the shop next door, he took out a big knife from under the car and rushed in. "Swipe, swipe" two times with the knife, he chopped off the hands of two people.
.
"Ah!" The screams rang through the sky.
A few ruffians came in with knives and started to stab people, which made them scared.
At this time, other people from the Chollima Express Station also rushed in. Without saying a word, they beat his mother first!
Shuan Zhu is a man who fights without his life, and the others are all soldiers who have retired from the battlefield, so it is easy to beat up a few gangsters.
Da Ya rushed in from the backyard with a kitchen knife and saw a mess on the ground. She and the gangster were pushed to the ground and beaten violently.
"Stop fighting! Spare your life!"
"Have mercy! Ah! Help!"
"Grandpa, ancestors, dad, please spare your grandson, someone paid us to instigate us to destroy the store!"
"It was Gu Fujun's manager who asked us to smash it! He doesn't care about our business!"
Shuan Zhu spat: "Bah! It doesn't matter who sent you, just get rid of your motherfuckers first, so as not to harm others!"
What followed was another round of one-sided beatings.
Shangguan Ruoli came back slowly with a vegetable basket and saw many people gathered around the entrance of the store. When he heard wailing and begging for mercy from inside, he ran over with a serious look on his face.
Seeing the chaos in the shop, he frowned and said, "Stop!"
Everyone stopped, a few ruffians lay on the ground wailing and groaning.
Shuan Zhu said: "Fourth sister-in-law, they said that the steward of Gu Fujun's family paid them to destroy the shop."
Shangguan Ruoli immediately guessed that it must be because of Gu Ran's matter, and said: "Send them to the Yamen, go to the steward Qin, and ask him to go to the government to inquire."
Gu Fujun is the top leader in the Fengcheng army and cannot be dealt with by these people. It is necessary to move out of the Prince's Mansion. Qin Heng followed Dongming Ziyu to the capital and had to ask Steward Qin to come forward.
Looking at the two gangsters with severed hands, the wounds were bleeding continuously. Shangguan Ruoli asked Daya to bring a medicine box to stop the bleeding and bandage them. Don't die in the shop. It would be a serious matter if someone died.
As for those with broken arms, legs, or ribs, she didn't care.
The customer got out of the car, and there happened to be a big car. He threw the person into the car, and Shangguan Ruoli followed him to the government office to play drums and complain.
Without Butler Qin's intervention, the police officers and prosecutors knew that the really delicious dim sum shop and Qianlima Express Station were the properties of the second son of the prince. They knew very well who was behind the major stores in Fengcheng.
Know which ones you can offend and which ones you can't.
They couldn't afford to offend either the Prince's Mansion or Gu Fujun, but compared to the Prince's Mansion, they would rather offend Gu Fujun. But they didn't dare to go to Gu Fujun's Mansion to arrest people, so they sent people directly to Gu Fujun to understand the situation.
'.
When Gu Fujun heard this, he was so angry that he called the steward over and asked about Gu's stepmother.
The family scandal should not be made public, and the steward was blamed. This is a method that has been used to this day. The guards were escorted to the government office to plead guilty, and Shangguan Ruoli was given 500 taels of silver as a charity. The government sentenced the official and several
The ruffian served two years of hard labor, and the matter was over.
Shangguan Ruoli took the money and returned to the dim sum shop.
Daya and the others were cleaning the mess all over the floor, wiping their tears while sweeping. Chen Qingyun, Chen Mingdong, and Zheng rushed over after hearing the news, and they also helped clean up.
When they saw Shangguan Ruoli coming back from them, everyone gathered around them.
Da Ya asked with sobs: "Fourth Aunt, how is the matter?"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "The steward and a few ruffians have all gone to hard labor because of the crime they committed. Gu Fujun Mansion compensated us five hundred taels of silver."
Chen Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Da Ya: "Don't cry. After what happened today, I think they know that we are not easy to mess with and they don't dare to come again. Don't be afraid, ah?"
Da Ya blushed and said angrily: "Who is afraid? I am angry and feel that it is not easy to make a living. I also feel sorry for these snacks. Isn't this a waste of food? Only those who have been hungry know how precious food is."
She now dreams about eating Guanyin soil plus grass roots and leaves, and she wakes up every time with a fright.
Chen Mingdong said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the dim sum shop is next to Chollima, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss today."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "That's how we thought about it at the beginning, so we can take care of each other."
Mrs. Zheng patted her chest and said, "Amitabha, what a wise move! You don't know that when my elder brother heard something happened at the dim sum shop, he ran over like crazy. No matter how fast he ran, he couldn't arrive in time from the next door."
Without the help of those retired soldiers, Da Ya would have suffered a big loss today, and her son would have died of grief.
Chen Qingyun's face turned red, "Mother!"
Da Ya's face also turned red, she glanced at Chen Qingyun secretly, and shyly went to sort out the smashed shelves.
Chen Mingdong rolled his eyes on the two children and said with a smile: "Okay, it's a near miss after all. Let's pack up. Qingyun and I will repair the shelves and we can open again tomorrow."
Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't be polite to Brother Chen. I'll cook a few big dishes and ask the brothers from Qianlima next door to have a meal at noon."
Chen Mingdong said: "Okay!"
Shangguan Ruoli said to Daya: "Make some snacks in the afternoon and give a box to each person who helped today as a token of my gratitude."
His eyes darkened slightly, he remembered something, and said to Mrs. Zheng: "Sister-in-law, do you think you can help us find three or four wives with good character and clean work to work in our dim sum shop?"
They don't do heavy work either, just picking date pits, peeling walnuts and peanuts and other dried fruits, frying peanuts, frying sesame seeds, grinding rice flour and other chores. The few of them are a little busy.
This way Da Ya doesn’t have to make snacks by herself, she can just take care of things and take care of the accounts. She usually has to study, practice calligraphy, do needlework, and exercise, which is quite tiring."
Mrs. Zheng's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, I'll cover it. How much does it cost per month?"
Shangguan Ruoli looked at Da Ya, "How much do you think the salary is appropriate?"
Da Ya knew that the fourth aunt was praising her in disguise, so she thought for a while and said: "Try it out for two months, one tael of silver per month. If you pass the test, keep it, one and a half taels of silver every month. If you do well, you will be rewarded.
If you don't do well, you will be deducted money or fired."
She based it on the Dongzhou family's average monthly income for taking things back to work, and reduced it a bit. After all, there is definitely a difference between calculating work based on quantity and calculating daily wages.
Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "I'll do as you say."
Chen Qingyun's gaze became even more intense when he looked at Da Ya. She was calm, confident, confident, literate, good at managing affairs and accounting, and also good at female celebrities and martial arts. There was simply no girl better than her.
Chen Mingdong was also more satisfied. Chen Qingyun was going to take the exam. It would be best for his daughter-in-law to be literate and good at housekeeping.
Mrs. Zheng was originally dissatisfied with Daya being a village girl who had fled from famine, but now seeing that she is kind, thrifty, literate and knowledgeable, and can also manage accounts and manage a shop, she couldn't help but feel that she was more suitable as a daughter-in-law than some Xiaojiabiyu in the city.
Shangguan Ruoli made braised pork, stewed mutton, roast duck, braised pig head, a few hard vegetables, and a few vegetarian dishes for lunch. He thanked everyone for their help.
When I went to pick up the child in the afternoon, Wu Lang had injuries on his face again and was still limping when he walked.
