Chapter 88 The Miserable Shopkeeper

After making sure that no one else noticed him, he sneaked away to where the shadow was.

When he arrived at the rockery, there was no shadow in front of him, only a blank envelope was left there.

With just one glance, he saw the familiar mark from the corner of the envelope. He hurriedly went up to open the envelope, took out the letter paper, and looked at it carefully.

Watching and watching, his expression became more and more dignified, and finally he took the letter paper and envelope back to the kitchen, and threw them into the furnace while the fire was burning, and they were quickly reduced to ashes.

After lunch, he went to Jiang Yao to talk about the matter, apologetically.

"Sorry, I have some things here, I need to go out for a few days, so I can't come to the shop to help for the time being."

"Why are you so embarrassed? You don't even get paid for helping me. I should be the one thanking you. If you have something to do, go and do it, don't worry about me."

After she finished speaking with a smile, Jiang Yao thought of something. Seeing that Wei Chengye was about to leave, she suddenly called Wei Chengye to stop and gave her instructions quite seriously.

"Be careful when you go out, if you continue to be like that day, no one will save you."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine."

It was the first time he was cared about so much when he went out, Wei Chengye felt warm in his heart, as if there was a sweet stream flowing through his dry and cracked heart, it was extraordinarily comfortable.

However, he was very happy, and Jiang Yao soon became frowning.

The business in the store is getting better day by day, but without the help of Wei Chengye and his sisters, even if Jiang Yao is busy all day long, she still can't fully take care of all the customers.

There were a few bad-tempered customers who even got angry at Jiang Yao several times.

If it wasn't for Jiang Yao's fault, she really wouldn't tolerate it.

But this reminded her that she must find a helper as soon as possible, even if she hired someone from outside.

Thinking in this way, Jiang Yao chose a special day and invited her second uncle and second aunt to help in the shop, while she went to the dental shop to hire someone.

As a result, she was attracted by a loud noise before she reached the dental store.

In front of a tavern on the opposite side, several tall and three rough men surrounded a middle-aged man and yelled and cursed.

"Damn poor man, listen to me. If you don't pay the debt, not only your shop will belong to me, but even your wife and children will never see them again!"

While talking, one of the big black-faced men kicked the middle-aged man hard until he fell to the ground.

The man ignored the bloody palms, and when he heard that the other party was about to touch his wife and children, he panicked and hugged the black-faced man's legs like crazy.

"I will definitely pay you back, please don't touch my family, they are all innocent! Please!"

"Bah!" The black-faced man spat at him, then lifted his leg to shake off his hand, and kicked him in the chest again.

This time, the man vomited out a mouthful of blood, he was in a mess, but he was still begging.

"I beg you to hold your hands high! I will definitely pay back the money, please give me a few more days!"

"Grace? I'll give you two more days at most. If you still don't have enough money, I see that your daughter-in-law and children are looking pretty good, so I'm sure you can sell them at a high price if you send them to those places. At least I can save money!"

After finishing speaking viciously, the black-faced man didn't bother to talk to the tearful middle-aged man, turned around and led him away.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yao didn't know why, but always felt an urge to go up and help.

Sometimes she quite believed in feelings, and saw that the man cared about his wife and children, so she went up to talk to him.

"Brother, what happened to you? How did you provoke those people?"

Maybe it was suppressed for too long, suddenly someone cared about his situation, the middle-aged man took a look at Jiang Yao, saw that he was not gloating, and started to talk about it in despair.

"My name is Zhong He, and I am the shopkeeper of this tavern. At first, my business was doing well, and it allowed me to earn some money. I married a wife and had children."

"I don't know why, some people always eat bugs and other dirty things in my store. I have to pay a lot of money every time to let those people stop making trouble."

"It's a pity that I still underestimated their greed. I never thought that those small moneys were just the beginning..."

After listening to his words, Jiang Yao learned that those people who ate dirty things were sent by that black-faced man just now, the purpose was to let Zhong He borrow money from them, and they could collect interest for a long time.

Probably because they were still not satisfied, they once again tripped Zhong He secretly, causing many people who had eaten in his restaurant to have more or less problems.

In the end, no one was willing to come to this tavern to eat anymore, and Zhong He couldn't make any money, so he couldn't give them the monthly interest, so they came to make trouble.Zhong He also saw their faces clearly later, and he was unwilling to give them any more.

At this time, they took out the IOU that Zhong He had written under pressure before.

However, the IOU had been altered by the black-faced man, and the interest rate on it was frighteningly high, and he also promised that if he didn't pay it, he would pay the debt with the tavern, his wife and children.

Zhong He has been bullied for so long, how could he be willing to let them benefit again?What's more, they also endangered their closest family members!
Therefore, Zhong He directly sued the black-faced man to the court.

Unexpectedly, the lord official accepted the bribe from the black-faced man in advance, and he insisted that he must pay back the money from the black-faced man, otherwise he would be executed according to the IOU.

There is no way to sue the officials, Zhong He has no other choice but to admit it.

But this tavern is the result of his many years of management, and he is reluctant to give it up, let alone let his wife and children not live a good life in the future.

I went to the countryside to buy new dishes and recipes. At the beginning, the business was still a little bit better, but after the black-faced man found out, he brought people to make trouble, and the business of the tavern plummeted again. Finally, it became the situation that Jiang Yao saw today. .

"They are deceiving people too much!" Jiang Yao couldn't help it, and sighed angrily.

"Who says no? But what can I do for a person with no power or power?"

After Zhong He talked about his experience, his mood eased a little, he shook his head, endured the pain, stood up, and walked silently to the tavern.

Looking at his lonely back, a light flashed in Jiang Yao's heart.

In fact, when Zhong He just talked about it, he also mentioned some activities he had done to improve the business of the tavern.

Although not as varied as Hyundai's promotional offers, in Jiang Yao's opinion, they are pretty good.

At least when I have something to do, it is no problem for Zhong He to take care of the store.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao chased after him and stopped Zhong He who was about to close the shop.

"Brother Zhong, I can give you a stable job, can you come and help me?"
