Five cubs at the beginning: the vicious stepmother turns over and becomes a group favorite

"Don't doubt it, I already have a clue about this matter."

What does this mean, what does it mean to have a clue? !

Could it be that the shopkeeper already has someone who is suspicious?

Will there be doubts on her head!

The flustered Chunhua wanted to continue listening, but the conversation in the room stopped abruptly, and Mu Daiyao's lazy voice came instead.

"Don't mention it, I'm going to lie down for a while, I'm so tired."

"Well, then you have a good rest, I'll go down and see what needs to be done."

Soon, the room became quiet.

Chunhua didn't dare to stay outside the house too much, for fear of being caught by Ji Zhixu, she saw that she couldn't find out anything else anyway, so she quickly rubbed oil on the soles of her feet and slipped downstairs.

It's just that when she first arrived on the second floor, Donghe saw her.

"Sister Chunhua, what are you doing on the third floor?"

I don't know if it's because of a guilty conscience. It was just a simple question. Chunhua felt that Donghe was watching her, so she immediately said angrily to Donghe, "Where did I go to the third floor? Which eye do you see?" Arrived? Don't just follow Xia Guo's side and learn her disadvantages!"

Dong He was taken aback by the fierceness, she touched the back of her head in a daze, and replied timidly: "No, Sister Chunhua, I didn't learn from Sister Xia Guo, I just saw you coming down from above, that's why I... ..."

"You read it wrong, I stayed on the second floor just now, did you hear me!"

"Listen, I heard it, I'm sorry Sister Chunhua, I misunderstood."

"Also, didn't I say that I'm in charge of the second floor. Why did you come up to the second floor? Is there no work on the first floor? Or is there no need for help in the back kitchen? Why are you being lazy when you come up!"

Chunhua obviously vented all her anger on Donghe, seeing her staring at her in a daze and not answering, she immediately wanted to go up and teach her a lesson.

"Master."

However, Dong He suddenly called out.

Shocked, Chunhua hurriedly looked back, and as expected, she saw Ji Zhixu standing on the stairs.

"Boss, why are you standing here, I'll get you a glass of water."

Chunhua seemed to be a different person, and even her tone became gentler.

Then, without waiting for Ji Zhixu to speak, she calmly went to pour water.

When passing by Donghe, Chunhua patted Donghe's arm reproachfully, and said, "What are you doing standing there stupidly, why don't you hurry up and help, they are too busy to see Xiaguo."

On the contrary, Dong He, who didn't do anything, seemed to have done something wrong. After bowing his head and saying "Yes", he turned around and went down the stairs to the first floor.

Ji Zhixu, who took all this into his eyes, cast a thin layer of chill in his eyes.

If Yaoniang hadn't kept saying to wait and see, he would have already wanted to drive this woman out of the restaurant.

"Boss, you have worked hard, come and have some tea."

Just when Ji Zhixu frowned and thought about the matter, Chunhua had already come behind him with a cup of tea, and said in a delicate tone.

"Thank you."

Ji Zhixu slightly lowered his head to look at the cup of tea, but did not take it, but turned around and left after thanking him.

The county magistrate's office a few days ago.

The little boy who was sweeping the floor at the door was lazily at first, but when he looked up, he saw a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes get off the carriage from a distance, and strode over.

"Is the county magistrate at the house?"

The little boy hurriedly asked respectfully, "Who is this lord?"

"President of the chamber of commerce—Lin Jincheng."

Hearing this, the little boy's eyes widened, he turned out to be a big man, he threw the broom immediately, stomped the ground and ran back to the mansion.

After a while, the gate of the county magistrate's mansion opened from the inside, and the master came out with a smile on his face to greet him.

"Boss Lin, why are you here today when you are free?"

"Master Lou, you are at the house today."

The two walked into the county magistrate's mansion while laughing and talking.

This county magistrate's mansion doesn't look like anything from the outside, but once you walk in, you can see that the interior is very elegant and exquisite.

From the front yard to the hall, the flowers and plants along the way are well-maintained.

There is an atmosphere of wealth and honor everywhere in the pavilions, terraces, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.

Speaking of which, since the county magistrate came to power, Lin Jincheng came here to give gifts and congratulate him, so naturally he didn't forget to give Master Lou a lot of money.

Just like now, Lin Jincheng saw that there was no one around, so he quickly took out a small stack of bank notes and handed it to Master Lou.

Seeing this, Mr. Lou, who knew the world well, immediately understood that Chairman Lin had something to ask him to give him a good word in front of the county magistrate.

Master Lou smiled, stroked his beard with one hand, and had no intention of inviting Lin Jincheng inside to meet the county magistrate.

"Master Lin, you must have encountered some difficulties?"

"Master Lou is really smart, this matter is actually not difficult to say, in fact..."

Lin Jincheng lowered his voice, stopped playing around with Mr. Lou, and directly explained the matter to Mr. Lou in every detail.

After listening, a flash of understanding flashed in Master Lou's eyes, and he said very calmly: "That's the case, but it's not difficult to solve. My master just said a few words in front of the county magistrate. Boss Lin doesn't need to worry so much."

"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Lou, for this matter. It's not that I, Mr. Lin, can't tolerate newcomers. It's just that this chamber of commerce is under my management. If the rules are set and everyone doesn't abide by them like her, then this meeting Isn't the length just useless?"

Lin Jincheng explained one more sentence for himself.

"I know that these rules must be followed. It doesn't matter whether you are a newcomer or an old one. If there are no rules, you can't have a circle. Boss Lin, don't worry, the county magistrate will definitely decide for you."

Master Lou comforted Lin Jincheng, and after Lin Jincheng pretended to flatter the other party, he left the county magistrate's mansion contentedly.

"It's here, search for me!"

"Where is the shopkeeper? Where is it! Come out quickly!"

In the early morning of this day, when Mu Daiyao was about to go to the back kitchen to prepare dishes, a lot of officers and soldiers broke into the restaurant suddenly, and they wanted to search the restaurant without saying a word.

The few guests who had just been seated stood up one after another in fright, and many people gathered outside to watch the fun.

Naturally, Mu Daiyao would not let them ruin the reputation of the restaurant for no reason. She lifted the curtain, first asked Qiu Shi to go to Zhang Junshi, and then asked Ji Xiukai to go to the third floor to call his father Ji Zhixu down.

Finally, she walked to the lobby calmly, blessed the leading official, and replied: "This official, I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant. My surname is Mu. What are you doing here?"
