Chapter 67 The Rhythm of Death
The villagers were so frightened by the roar of the gourd that they immediately silenced their voices and hurriedly backed away.
They hadn't forgotten that the gourd was an evil spirit in the village, and they all thought that Butler Lin was beaten by the gourd.
They were outside at that time, but they all heard how miserable Lin Butler was screaming. Later, they were thrown out of the door. Not only were their noses and faces swollen, but they even lost a finger. It was bloody and scary.
Although they are very afraid of gourds, they still stay here because of their curiosity. They thought that if they pretend to care, gourds should be more polite, but they are still so fierce.
"Let's go, why are you so fierce?" the young daughter-in-law muttered just now.
"Perhaps Fu Ling is going to be someone's concubine. He is in a bad mood."
"Fu Ling is someone's concubine, isn't her mother happy? Otherwise, why is her face so ugly?"
The villagers walked away discussing, Gourd's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, if he hadn't carried Mrs. Xue behind his back, he might have rushed up and beat up these talkative villagers.
"Fu, Fu Ling, why are you hiring? Why do they say you want to be a concubine?" Xue listened, but was still at a loss.
"Let's go in first." Meng Fuling urged, her face was extremely ugly.
After entering the house, Mrs. Xue remembered that Mei Xiang and Little Chicken Wing hadn't come back together, "Too bad! Poria, Mei Xiang and Little Chicken Wing are still there."
Meng Fuling's face changed slightly, annoyed that she shouldn't have done it, and as soon as she entered the yard, Hulu caught a maid and asked Xue Shi which room she was in.
After entering the room, she was so excited by the scene where Mrs. Xue was almost humiliated that she almost lost her mind, and forgot about Little Chicken Wing and the others for a while.
She was about to ask Hulu to go again, when Han Hualin brought Mei Xiang and chicken wings.
"Thank you." Meng Fuling said to Han Hualin, thinking to herself that she owed him another favor, and if she repays it with new dishes, it would appear insincere.
Han Hualin shook his head, "Among friends, why are you so polite?"
After a pause, he said again: "There is one thing, I want to remind you, the master behind Zhu Laifu is a dignitary in Beijing, we can deal with him, but we can't kill him."
"The dignitaries in Beijing? No wonder they are so arrogant, Luo Zhiyong doesn't dare to offend him." Meng Fuling frowned, furious.
Hulu Xin said that Luo Zhiyong didn't dare to offend me, Meng Fuling didn't know what he was thinking, but Han Hualin glanced at him with a half-smile.
Meng Fuling smiled wryly, she couldn't afford to offend any dignitary, but she really couldn't swallow this tone.
She just wanted to settle down in ancient times, why is it so difficult?There are always a bunch of people who can't see her well.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "You talk, I'll fix some dishes and serve you wine."
"No, you're exhausted today too. I'll go back first, and I'll have someone come to the restaurant to find me if something happens." Han Hualin declined.
He knew that Meng Fuling wanted to clean up the food and drink just to thank him, but when he saw the tiredness in her eyes, he felt reluctant to give up.
Hulu didn't like the way Han Hualin looked at Meng Fuling, and snorted coldly, "You're smart!"
As soon as Han Hualin left, Xue couldn't help but come out, held Meng Fuling's hand, and said anxiously: "Fuling, tell me quickly, what's the matter with the next job? Tell me quickly!"
After listening to the villagers' discussions, Mrs. Xue vaguely guessed that she was the one who was hired, but they involved Meng Fuling. If she didn't figure it out, how could she feel at ease?
"This—" Meng Fuling hesitated, she hadn't figured out how to tell Xue.
If she told the truth, it would be hard for Xue to accept it, but she didn't want to lie, so Meng Fuling was in a dilemma for a while.
Hulu saw Meng Fuling's embarrassment, so he rushed to tell Xue Shi what happened before her.
In the end, Meng Fuling gave him a supercilious look, and she stepped on him hard.
Hulu didn't think she was wrong for telling the truth, even if she didn't tell Xue Shi, she would know it from others sooner or later.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xue cried bitterly, "Fu Ling, Fu Ling, it was I who harmed you, I can't let you ruin my reputation for me—"
"Mother, don't blame yourself. It's none of your business. Besides, fame can't be eaten as food. It's on other people's mouths. Whatever you like, let them do it." Meng Fuling patted Xue's back and comforted her.
In fact, what she wants to talk about more is reputation, which she has long since lost, so what if there is more of it?
"No, I'm going to clarify, so that no one can misunderstand you." Mrs. Xue pushed Meng Fuling away lightly, and was about to leave.
"How to clarify? It will only get darker and darker!" Meng Fuling held Xue Shi back and refused to let her go out.
Ever since she knew Xue was arrested, Meng Fuling had always been worried, and now she had to be patient and coax Xue. She was really tired and her head hurt.
"Auntie, she's exhausted!" Hulu's patience has always been limited, seeing Meng Fuling's tired face, he spoke more seriously.
This caused Xue Shi to feel even more guilty, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
******
After all, Xue fell ill due to excessive grief and fright, and became thinner day by day, which made Meng Fuling very worried.
Physical illnesses are easy to cure, but mental illnesses are hard to cure. Others' persuasion doesn't work, and she can only wait for her to figure it out.
It was only afterward that Meng Fuling found out that Mrs. Xue had been drugged. Needless to say, it must have been a love potion.
Fortunately, the little chicken wing made Xue vomit the medicine, but no matter how Meng Fuling asked, the little chicken wing just refused to say why he had the ability to induce vomiting.
At this moment, Meng Fuling was making tonic soup for Xue's family with her own hands. Li Shanhu came and went directly to the kitchen. ugly."
"Let them say it!" Meng Fuling frowned and said.
"How can you let them say? Do you know what they said? They said you—" Li Shanhuo complained for Meng Fuling.
"Okay, how did you go about that?" Meng Fuling changed the subject with a smile.
Li Shanhu's heart is thick, and after being told by Meng Fuling, he turned his attention to his own affairs, "They saw that I was making vermicelli, and insisted that I teach them..."
It turned out that Meng Fuling taught Li Coral to make vermicelli, but she didn't take out the grinder and only asked her to chop sweet potatoes.
The technique of filtering slurry is also reserved, and as for powder leakage, a hollow grass called 'Xiecao' is used.
There is a layer of viscous liquid in the hollow inside of Xiecao. If people eat it, it will cause diarrhea. If it is used to leak powder, the leaked vermicelli will definitely cause diarrhea.
Meng Fuling asked Li Shanhu to make vermicelli while Mrs. Zhou and the others were at home. Now that everyone knows that vermicelli makes money, Mrs. Zhou and the others will definitely be moved when they see it.
Sure enough, as she expected, Mrs. Zhou insisted on learning from Li Shanhu.
"They don't know how to urinate, and they urinate non-stop after eating the made vermicelli, but they don't take it seriously." Li Shanhu couldn't help laughing, feeling very relieved.
While talking, Li Shanhu helped Meng Fuling prepare some good dishes.
Meng Fuling also asked Li Shanhu to call Lian Dahui to eat together.
******
Seeing that her eldest son and daughter-in-law were not at home, Mrs. Zhou invited her wife and son over, and the three of them got together to plot a fortune.
"I said, let's open a workshop too?" Mrs. Zhou said, she has been envious of Meng Fuling's workshop for a long time, now that she has a recipe for making vermicelli, she naturally wants to open one.
"Tch, mother, this is what you need to open a workshop." Lian Dajin stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together, and then asked, "Do you have anything with Dad?"
"What a fart! You have gambled away all the savings at home, how dare you say it?" Lian Shimu didn't get angry when he heard this, and raised his hand to reward Lian Dajin with a blow.
"Ouch! Dad, I don't believe that you and mother didn't hide some coffin books. Hurry up and get them out. We can also build a workshop and get over the addiction of being a boss." Lian Dajin yelled, clutching the back of his head that hurt from being knocked. road.
"You took it for gambling last time, so where is the coffin book?" Mrs. Zhou complained.
"You don't have to build a workshop to make vermicelli. You can drive Dahui and his wife out, and the house can be used as a workshop! Anyway, they are arguing to separate." Lian Shimu slapped his head and came up with an idea. This 'good idea'.
"No! After the family is separated, who will do the housework? Who will make money for us to spend?" When it comes to separating the family, Lian Dajin is the first to disagree.
"Mother's silly son, after selling vermicelli and earning a lot of money, why do you have to work?" Mrs. Zhou laughed.
Even Da Jin remembered that Li Shanhuan taught vermicelli making, "Isn't my sister-in-law also able to make vermicelli? What if she also wants to make money from this?"
"She dares? See if I'm not skinning her!" Mrs. Zhou said fiercely with her old eyes staring.
Lian Shimu nodded in agreement, "Forgive her, but she doesn't dare, but our family has no money to buy sweet potatoes, hire workers, and who do we sell the vermicelli to?"
"We can go to the cross-in shop to borrow money, and the vermicelli will be sold to the shopkeeper of that restaurant that came back last time." Lian Dajin suggested that he has been in and out of gambling shops a lot, and he also knows that there is a special loan in the city. Interchange shop of silver.
"I know, it's the treasurer Bi of the Fortune Restaurant, and he's quite generous." When mentioning the Fortune Restaurant, Mrs. Zhou laughed from ear to ear. Last time she just led the way and got two taels of silver.
The three chattered again, and when Li Shanhu and Lian Dahui returned home, they immediately raised the matter of separating the family.
The cruel old couple only gave Lian Dahui and his wife a pot, a few baskets, and some corn noodles, and then kicked them out of the house.
Mrs. Zhou even threatened Li Coral not to teach others how to make vermicelli, nor to use it to make money.
Li Shanhu had expected that her unscrupulous parents-in-law would do such a terrible job, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Lian Dahui was heartbroken by his parents' actions.
The young couple had nowhere to go, so naturally they had to seek refuge with Meng Fuling.
As early as when the workshop was being built, Meng Fuling asked the masonry team to demolish the thatched hut where they lived and build a house.
Meng Fuling originally planned to expand the workshop in the future and use it as a workshop, but now she lives in Lian Dahui and Li Shanhuo, and borrows money for them to spend first.
Lian Dahui is an honest person, so he naturally refused to take advantage of Meng Fuling, so he offered to help her with work.
Meng Fuling asked the couple to work in the workshop.
******
When Mrs. Zhou and the others knew that even Dahui and his wife had been kicked out of the house, they lived in a new house instead, and they had money to buy things, they were so angry that they itched their teeth.
At the same time, they are even more envious of the vermicelli business, and they are more determined to start the vermicelli business.
On this day, Lian Dajin drove his own ox cart and took Mrs. Zhou into the city together. First, he went to Jiaoyinpu and borrowed 20 taels of silver with his own field as collateral.
Because the mother and son were so excited when they saw the white money, and because they were illiterate, they casually pressed their fingerprints on the loan deed.
As everyone knows, these intersection shops are very dark inside, and they only trick illiterate people. Once the deed is signed, it is like signing a deed of prostitution.
After leaving Jiaoyin Shop, the mother and son asked a few passers-by to find the location of the Fortune Restaurant, and finally found it. Seeing the restaurant's elegant decoration, both of them had bright eyes.
Without even thinking about it, they strode towards the threshold of the Fortune Restaurant.
The waiters in the Fortune Restaurant are living in dire straits these days, and both the boss and shopkeeper Bi have been beaten to death.
Both of them were injured, and the restaurant couldn't be left unattended. Fortunately, shopkeeper Bi's injuries were lighter than Zhu Laifu's, so he dragged his wounded body to the restaurant to sit in charge.
But as a wounded person, he couldn't even heal his wounds, so he was naturally in a bad mood, so the mistresses were out of luck.
Whenever you make a small mistake and get caught, the custodian will be used as a punching bag by shopkeeper Bi.
It made everyone feel like walking on eggshells, for fear that he would be the next one to fall into the hands of shopkeeper Bi.
At this time, the two mistresses gathered together to complain in a low voice, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many guests in the lobby.
Suddenly, I saw two old women dressed as peasants and a young man with mischievous eyebrows come in.
Without even thinking about it, the two rushed over in two or three steps, and scolded: "Where did the bumpkin come from? Get out!"
Mrs. Zhou said with a contorted smile: "Brother, wait a minute, we are here to find your shopkeeper Bi. We have a good deal to discuss with him."
"Forget it, our shopkeeper doesn't have the time to talk to you." The two mistresses pushed people away, even though the mother and son had worn out their mouths, they refused to let go.
The mother and son were on one side, holding the door frame tightly with both hands, and Mrs. Zhou begged repeatedly: "Little brother, we really have a big business to find shopkeeper Bi, let's meet shopkeeper Bi."
The two mistresses couldn't pull them away, so they became even more annoyed, but even Da Jin got impatient at being stopped, so he winked at Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou understood what her son meant when she saw it, and immediately let go of the door frame, sat on the ground and yelled loudly, "Master Bi, Master Bi! I'm from Lingyun Village, and I want to talk to you about selling vermicelli! "
At this time, shopkeeper Bi received the report and rushed over on crutches. After a glance, he recognized Mrs. Zhou.
When shopkeeper Bi thought that his injuries were caused by villagers of Lingyun Village, and Mrs. Zhou's mother and son were from Lingyun Village, his anger burned.
He gave them a hard look, turned his head to look at the diners who stretched their necks curiously, bowed his hands and said, "Xiao Er has no rules, let all the distinguished guests see a joke, everyone, don't lose your interest."
After a few words of politeness with the diners, shopkeeper Bi said to Mrs. Zhou and the others: "Come with me!"
It was the first time for the mother and son to come to such a rich place, and they looked around with their eyes wide open. They felt that both eyeballs were not enough for a moment, and they looked dumbfounded, making the children who passed by laugh endlessly.
After entering the wing room where shopkeeper Bi worked, shopkeeper Bi asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
In fact, shopkeeper Bi really wanted to drive them out, but when he heard that they wanted to discuss business with him, he wanted to see what the two bumpkins wanted to do.
The two of them smiled even more obsequiously when they heard shopkeeper Bi's inquiry. Mrs. Zhou stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, we know that the expensive restaurant wants to buy vermicelli. Now my family also wants to open a vermicelli workshop and want to sell it to the expensive restaurant."
When Shopkeeper Bi heard this, he sneered and said, "Didn't Meng Fuling be the only one who knew the recipe for making vermicelli? How did you know?"
He thought to himself that they either stole Meng Fuling's prescription or fooled him.
"It's like this, my eldest daughter-in-law has a good relationship with Meng Fuling, and now she's working in her workshop again, hehe—" Mrs. Zhou laughed before she finished speaking, which clearly meant that Li Shanhu had secretly taught them what she had learned. .
Shopkeeper Bi remembered that he was beaten when he failed to buy vermicelli that day, and was scolded by Zhu Laifu after returning, and his face became more and more gloomy.
He thought for a while before saying, "You really know how to make vermicelli?"
When the mother and son heard this, they promised in unison: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Shopkeeper Bi's eyes flickered, and he didn't ask them to make some for inspection first, so he said, "Okay, the finished vermicelli will be sold to our restaurant, let's order a hundred catties first."
When the mother and son heard a hundred catties, their eyes widened and they were extremely excited.
Mrs. Zhou nodded repeatedly and said, "Cheng, Cheng, shopkeeper, you said that day that you would double the price for Meng Fuling, and the vermicelli made by my family is not badly kept. Do you want to double the price for your restaurant?"
Shopkeeper Bi said bluntly, "Double is double, but it's only a hundred catties of vermicelli, and I'll have it in ten days."
Shopkeeper Bi thought that if they wanted to make a hundred catties of vermicelli, they would definitely hire villagers to help them make it. He didn't believe that Meng Fuling would easily distribute the way to get rich to others, and they would definitely not be able to make it.
When the time comes, hehe!He will fulfill what he said that day and let these bumpkins go to prison.
When Mrs. Zhou heard that the vermicelli could be sold for double the price, she was so excited that she hugged Lian Dajin and yelled, "Son, we are going to get rich, we are going to get rich!"
Seeing their behavior, shopkeeper Bi looked contemptuous, and beckoned someone to bring a pen, ink and paper, and asked them to hand over two deeds after drafting two deeds.
"Dajin, come and see." Mrs. Zhou smiled dryly and pushed the deed paper to Lian Dajin.
Although Lian Dajin was illiterate, he could see that shopkeeper Bi had been staring at him, so he didn't want to show his timidity, let shopkeeper Bi make fun of him, pretended to look at him a few times, and said: "There is no big mistake, so be it. My handwriting is ugly. , let the shopkeeper write two strokes for me, and I will do it with a fingerprint."
Shopkeeper Bi sneered, added a few strokes casually, and the two of them pressed their fingerprints respectively to finish the job.
The mother and son negotiated a 'big business', and immediately felt that they were also wealthy people.
Saying goodbye to the way out of the Fortune Restaurant, he almost lifted his chin to the sky, looking arrogant.
Even a little girl accidentally blocked the way, and was reprimanded by Lian Dajin for not being good at it, which is really extremely arrogant.
As soon as the mother and son returned to the village, they told people everywhere that their family was going to make vermicelli, and showed off the money they had borrowed.
Seeing that they really had money, the villagers rushed to help them make vermicelli.
Mrs. Zhou was reluctant to spend money to hire too many people, so she decided to hire two people.
Lian Dajin was coaxed by two good pig friends to agree to hire them, but these two had the same virtue as Lian Dajin.
Not to mention how mother-in-law Zhou and her son were, Meng Fuling was in a great mood when she heard the news.
Coincidentally, not long after, Han Hualin had someone invite her to the restaurant, and introduced her to a wealthy businessman named Qiu from the capital city.
This is no ordinary wealthy businessman, but an imperial businessman. It turns out that Boss Qiu and Han Hualin are old acquaintances.
Some time ago, when he was passing through Qishan County, he came to Shiweitian to meet Han Hualin. He ate vermicelli and thought it was very novel, so he bought some for a high-ranking official he knew.
This senior official also liked it very much, so he asked him to buy two hundred catties of vermicelli as a gift this time.
Because it was introduced by Han Hualin, and Boss Qiu offered a very good price, Meng Fuling accepted the order, and the two sides signed a contract.
Meng Fuling took the order, returned to the village, went straight to the workshop, and asked the workers to make two hundred catties of vermicelli.
The workers are now proficient, and it is also fast to make vermicelli.
Today, accompanied by gourds, Meng Fuling visited the workshop again. Seeing that two hundred catties of vermicelli can be made in two days, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way home from the workshop, she saw many villagers running in the direction of Mrs. Zhou's house, and she thought that something really happened.
"Hulu, let's go and have a look too." She tugged on Hulu's sleeve, wanting to watch the excitement.
"No way!" Calabash shook her head without thinking, saying that she would not let her go to a crowded place.
"With you here, no one would dare to squeeze me." Naturally, Meng Fuling knew that he was afraid that she would be pushed, so she laughed.
After hearing her words, Hulu felt inexplicably relieved, but he still refused to let go, "It's just a bunch of jumping clowns, nothing to look at!"
Meng Fuling was not afraid of Hulu, but because she knew that Hulu cared about her, so she didn't argue with him.It's just that it can be said that she started the matter at Mrs. Zhou's house, so she would naturally be very curious.
Hulu's eyes darkened, and without waiting for her to say more, he hugged her horizontally.
"What are you doing? Let me down!" Meng Fuling didn't expect Hulu to behave like this, and was taken aback.
Hulu responded to her with only two words, "Go home!"
Meng Fuling couldn't break free, so she had to let the gourd hold her, but no matter how thick-skinned she was, she was carried back into the house by the gourd like this, causing ambiguous eyes from Mrs. Qiao and the others, and her cheeks turned red.
Mrs. Xue was very happy when she saw it. Meng Fuling was extremely depressed. The gourd would have convulsions if nothing happened. She gave him a hard look and stopped talking to him.
She was just about to ask Mrs. Qiao to inquire about Mrs. Zhou's family, when Li Shanhong came to the door.
"Fuling, something happened to my mother-in-law." Li Shanhong ran to Meng Fuling and said happily.
Meng Fuling waved Mrs. Qiao and the others away, and said helplessly, "When you leave my house, don't let people see you so happy."
"I know, I know, I will be stabbed in the back." Li Shanhu nodded straightly,
Meng Fuling knew that Li Coral was being squeezed by her parents-in-law and uncle, so she was so happy to hear that something happened to them.
She also wanted to know the situation of Mrs. Zhou's house, so she urged Li Shanhu, "Quickly tell me."
It turned out that Mrs. Zhou and shopkeeper Bi had agreed to make a hundred catties of vermicelli and send them to Hongyun Restaurant in ten days, but before ten days passed, shopkeeper Bi sent someone to remind her.
But Mrs. Zhou and the others used the method of leaking grass and powder, which was not efficient at all, and the two they hired were as lazy as Lian Dajin.
After being urged by shopkeeper Bi, he hurriedly made about twenty catties and sent it to Hongyun Restaurant.
As a result, the diners had diarrhea after eating everything, and the Fortune Restaurant offended many people at once.
At this time, shopkeeper Bi is personally coming to Mrs. Zhou to arrest people.
"Fu Ling, what do you think if they ask Dahui to help put an end to this disaster?" In fact, Li Shanhu was still a little nervous.
She was afraid that Lian Dahui would know that she deliberately seduced his parents and brothers into greed.
"Do you think Brother Dahui has the ability to settle this disaster?" Meng Fuling asked with a smile.
"No!" Li Shanshan shook her head and said, she was no longer as happy as before.
The two of them have to rely on Meng Fuling to have a place to live. How could Dahui have the ability to help Mrs. Zhou put an end to this disaster?
"That's right, don't think too much about it, Mrs. Zhou and the others deserve it," Meng Fuling comforted.
******
Shopkeeper Bi stared at the few people who were huddled together, so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, feeling like he was shooting himself in the foot with a stone.
He predicted that they would never be able to make vermicelli, so he dared to sign a contract with them without Zhu Laifu's consent.
I don't know how this matter got to Zhu Laifu who was still in bed recovering from his injuries, and asked him to order the family to make some vermicelli first and try selling them in the restaurant.
It's okay if they can't make it, but they really made it.
Now that the vermicelli was made, it had to be taken to a restaurant and sold to customers. As a result, all the guests who had eaten the vermicelli suffered from diarrhea.
Shopkeeper Bi naturally cannot avoid responsibility, Zhu Laifu said that if he doesn't settle this matter and restore the restaurant's reputation, it will not be as simple as kicking him out of the restaurant.
"Catch them!" Shopkeeper Bi roared angrily, with resentful eyes wishing to swallow Mrs. Zhou and the others alive.
"No! The shopkeeper, it's none of our business, we don't know anything!" Seeing several tall and burly men approaching, Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy.
Lian Shimu and Lian Dajin also kowtowed and begged for mercy, Lian Dajin yelled and evaded: "Master Bi, it was my sister-in-law who taught us how to make vermicelli. If you want to find it, go to her."
"Hmph! Do you still want to say that Meng Fuling instructed your sister-in-law to put laxatives in the vermicelli?" Shopkeeper Bi snorted coldly.
In fact, before he came to Lingyun Village, he also thought about pulling Meng Fuling into the water, but he didn't have the courage to think about Zhu Laifu's fate.
Mrs. Zhou nodded when she heard what shopkeeper Bi said, "That's right! That's right! It was Meng Fuling who asked my eldest daughter-in-law to put laxatives in the vermicelli."
The two employed people also scrambled to shirk responsibility, and in the end, they even asked Mrs. Zhou for wages.
In short, the scene was chaotic, and the surrounding villagers didn't help to say something nice just because they were from the same village, maybe they were saying that Mrs. Zhou deserved it.
You have to know how annoying Zhou Pozi and Lian Dajin's faces were when they took out their silver to show off.
"Shut up! Take them all to the Yamen!" Shopkeeper Bi lost all patience.
"Ya, Yamen? I won't go!" Lian Dajin was terrified when he heard that he was going to the Yamen. He screamed, and left his parents and went to a place where there were few people.
Even the place where Dajin drilled was full of villagers. The villagers dispersed voluntarily for fear of getting into trouble.
Therefore, Lian Dajin was given a way to escape. He often sneaked around, and being chased and beaten was a common occurrence, and he ran as if his feet had been greased.
"Quick! Catch him!" Shopkeeper Bi was furious. If it wasn't for his foot injury, he would really have to jump.
Lian Dajin was born and bred in Lingyun Village, he was familiar with the environment, so he ran straight up the mountain, and the people sent by shopkeeper Bi naturally couldn't catch up with him.
In the end, Lian Dajin could not be found, so Bi shopkeeper had to take Pozi Zhou and Lian Shimu away.
Lian Dajin hid in the mountains until midnight, and now he was thirsty and hungry. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was Meng Fuling who helped Li Shanhu to harm them on purpose.
Thinking about it this way, even Da Jin hated Meng Fuling in his heart, thinking that if you dare to harm us, I won't make it easier for you.
People who are in a desperate situation are irrational. Even Da Jin touched the vicinity of his home and entered the house when he saw that shopkeeper Bi had no one to guard him.
He took the lamp oil and fire pockets at home and came to Meng Fuling's workshop...
******
Meng Fuling was soundly asleep when she was woken up by a loud knock on the door, "Miss, miss, something is wrong!"
"Lan Xiang, what happened?" Meng Fuling was shocked.
Just about to put on her clothes and get out of bed, when she turned her head to look, she found that there was another person on her bed at some point, who is this person if not a gourd?
At this time, he was also woken up by the knock on the door. Meng Fuling acted like a ghost. Why did the gourd appear on her bed?
Looking down and seeing that her middle dress was well on, Meng Fuling breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't have time to ask him why he was on her bed.
Hulu took a step ahead of her, opened the door, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Miss, Uncle, the workshop is on fire." Lan Xiang's eyes turned red anxiously.
"What? The workshop is on fire? Is the night watchman okay?" Meng Fuling was astonished and asked anxiously.
(End of this chapter)
The villagers were so frightened by the roar of the gourd that they immediately silenced their voices and hurriedly backed away.
They hadn't forgotten that the gourd was an evil spirit in the village, and they all thought that Butler Lin was beaten by the gourd.
They were outside at that time, but they all heard how miserable Lin Butler was screaming. Later, they were thrown out of the door. Not only were their noses and faces swollen, but they even lost a finger. It was bloody and scary.
Although they are very afraid of gourds, they still stay here because of their curiosity. They thought that if they pretend to care, gourds should be more polite, but they are still so fierce.
"Let's go, why are you so fierce?" the young daughter-in-law muttered just now.
"Perhaps Fu Ling is going to be someone's concubine. He is in a bad mood."
"Fu Ling is someone's concubine, isn't her mother happy? Otherwise, why is her face so ugly?"
The villagers walked away discussing, Gourd's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, if he hadn't carried Mrs. Xue behind his back, he might have rushed up and beat up these talkative villagers.
"Fu, Fu Ling, why are you hiring? Why do they say you want to be a concubine?" Xue listened, but was still at a loss.
"Let's go in first." Meng Fuling urged, her face was extremely ugly.
After entering the house, Mrs. Xue remembered that Mei Xiang and Little Chicken Wing hadn't come back together, "Too bad! Poria, Mei Xiang and Little Chicken Wing are still there."
Meng Fuling's face changed slightly, annoyed that she shouldn't have done it, and as soon as she entered the yard, Hulu caught a maid and asked Xue Shi which room she was in.
After entering the room, she was so excited by the scene where Mrs. Xue was almost humiliated that she almost lost her mind, and forgot about Little Chicken Wing and the others for a while.
She was about to ask Hulu to go again, when Han Hualin brought Mei Xiang and chicken wings.
"Thank you." Meng Fuling said to Han Hualin, thinking to herself that she owed him another favor, and if she repays it with new dishes, it would appear insincere.
Han Hualin shook his head, "Among friends, why are you so polite?"
After a pause, he said again: "There is one thing, I want to remind you, the master behind Zhu Laifu is a dignitary in Beijing, we can deal with him, but we can't kill him."
"The dignitaries in Beijing? No wonder they are so arrogant, Luo Zhiyong doesn't dare to offend him." Meng Fuling frowned, furious.
Hulu Xin said that Luo Zhiyong didn't dare to offend me, Meng Fuling didn't know what he was thinking, but Han Hualin glanced at him with a half-smile.
Meng Fuling smiled wryly, she couldn't afford to offend any dignitary, but she really couldn't swallow this tone.
She just wanted to settle down in ancient times, why is it so difficult?There are always a bunch of people who can't see her well.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "You talk, I'll fix some dishes and serve you wine."
"No, you're exhausted today too. I'll go back first, and I'll have someone come to the restaurant to find me if something happens." Han Hualin declined.
He knew that Meng Fuling wanted to clean up the food and drink just to thank him, but when he saw the tiredness in her eyes, he felt reluctant to give up.
Hulu didn't like the way Han Hualin looked at Meng Fuling, and snorted coldly, "You're smart!"
As soon as Han Hualin left, Xue couldn't help but come out, held Meng Fuling's hand, and said anxiously: "Fuling, tell me quickly, what's the matter with the next job? Tell me quickly!"
After listening to the villagers' discussions, Mrs. Xue vaguely guessed that she was the one who was hired, but they involved Meng Fuling. If she didn't figure it out, how could she feel at ease?
"This—" Meng Fuling hesitated, she hadn't figured out how to tell Xue.
If she told the truth, it would be hard for Xue to accept it, but she didn't want to lie, so Meng Fuling was in a dilemma for a while.
Hulu saw Meng Fuling's embarrassment, so he rushed to tell Xue Shi what happened before her.
In the end, Meng Fuling gave him a supercilious look, and she stepped on him hard.
Hulu didn't think she was wrong for telling the truth, even if she didn't tell Xue Shi, she would know it from others sooner or later.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xue cried bitterly, "Fu Ling, Fu Ling, it was I who harmed you, I can't let you ruin my reputation for me—"
"Mother, don't blame yourself. It's none of your business. Besides, fame can't be eaten as food. It's on other people's mouths. Whatever you like, let them do it." Meng Fuling patted Xue's back and comforted her.
In fact, what she wants to talk about more is reputation, which she has long since lost, so what if there is more of it?
"No, I'm going to clarify, so that no one can misunderstand you." Mrs. Xue pushed Meng Fuling away lightly, and was about to leave.
"How to clarify? It will only get darker and darker!" Meng Fuling held Xue Shi back and refused to let her go out.
Ever since she knew Xue was arrested, Meng Fuling had always been worried, and now she had to be patient and coax Xue. She was really tired and her head hurt.
"Auntie, she's exhausted!" Hulu's patience has always been limited, seeing Meng Fuling's tired face, he spoke more seriously.
This caused Xue Shi to feel even more guilty, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
******
After all, Xue fell ill due to excessive grief and fright, and became thinner day by day, which made Meng Fuling very worried.
Physical illnesses are easy to cure, but mental illnesses are hard to cure. Others' persuasion doesn't work, and she can only wait for her to figure it out.
It was only afterward that Meng Fuling found out that Mrs. Xue had been drugged. Needless to say, it must have been a love potion.
Fortunately, the little chicken wing made Xue vomit the medicine, but no matter how Meng Fuling asked, the little chicken wing just refused to say why he had the ability to induce vomiting.
At this moment, Meng Fuling was making tonic soup for Xue's family with her own hands. Li Shanhu came and went directly to the kitchen. ugly."
"Let them say it!" Meng Fuling frowned and said.
"How can you let them say? Do you know what they said? They said you—" Li Shanhuo complained for Meng Fuling.
"Okay, how did you go about that?" Meng Fuling changed the subject with a smile.
Li Shanhu's heart is thick, and after being told by Meng Fuling, he turned his attention to his own affairs, "They saw that I was making vermicelli, and insisted that I teach them..."
It turned out that Meng Fuling taught Li Coral to make vermicelli, but she didn't take out the grinder and only asked her to chop sweet potatoes.
The technique of filtering slurry is also reserved, and as for powder leakage, a hollow grass called 'Xiecao' is used.
There is a layer of viscous liquid in the hollow inside of Xiecao. If people eat it, it will cause diarrhea. If it is used to leak powder, the leaked vermicelli will definitely cause diarrhea.
Meng Fuling asked Li Shanhu to make vermicelli while Mrs. Zhou and the others were at home. Now that everyone knows that vermicelli makes money, Mrs. Zhou and the others will definitely be moved when they see it.
Sure enough, as she expected, Mrs. Zhou insisted on learning from Li Shanhu.
"They don't know how to urinate, and they urinate non-stop after eating the made vermicelli, but they don't take it seriously." Li Shanhu couldn't help laughing, feeling very relieved.
While talking, Li Shanhu helped Meng Fuling prepare some good dishes.
Meng Fuling also asked Li Shanhu to call Lian Dahui to eat together.
******
Seeing that her eldest son and daughter-in-law were not at home, Mrs. Zhou invited her wife and son over, and the three of them got together to plot a fortune.
"I said, let's open a workshop too?" Mrs. Zhou said, she has been envious of Meng Fuling's workshop for a long time, now that she has a recipe for making vermicelli, she naturally wants to open one.
"Tch, mother, this is what you need to open a workshop." Lian Dajin stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together, and then asked, "Do you have anything with Dad?"
"What a fart! You have gambled away all the savings at home, how dare you say it?" Lian Shimu didn't get angry when he heard this, and raised his hand to reward Lian Dajin with a blow.
"Ouch! Dad, I don't believe that you and mother didn't hide some coffin books. Hurry up and get them out. We can also build a workshop and get over the addiction of being a boss." Lian Dajin yelled, clutching the back of his head that hurt from being knocked. road.
"You took it for gambling last time, so where is the coffin book?" Mrs. Zhou complained.
"You don't have to build a workshop to make vermicelli. You can drive Dahui and his wife out, and the house can be used as a workshop! Anyway, they are arguing to separate." Lian Shimu slapped his head and came up with an idea. This 'good idea'.
"No! After the family is separated, who will do the housework? Who will make money for us to spend?" When it comes to separating the family, Lian Dajin is the first to disagree.
"Mother's silly son, after selling vermicelli and earning a lot of money, why do you have to work?" Mrs. Zhou laughed.
Even Da Jin remembered that Li Shanhuan taught vermicelli making, "Isn't my sister-in-law also able to make vermicelli? What if she also wants to make money from this?"
"She dares? See if I'm not skinning her!" Mrs. Zhou said fiercely with her old eyes staring.
Lian Shimu nodded in agreement, "Forgive her, but she doesn't dare, but our family has no money to buy sweet potatoes, hire workers, and who do we sell the vermicelli to?"
"We can go to the cross-in shop to borrow money, and the vermicelli will be sold to the shopkeeper of that restaurant that came back last time." Lian Dajin suggested that he has been in and out of gambling shops a lot, and he also knows that there is a special loan in the city. Interchange shop of silver.
"I know, it's the treasurer Bi of the Fortune Restaurant, and he's quite generous." When mentioning the Fortune Restaurant, Mrs. Zhou laughed from ear to ear. Last time she just led the way and got two taels of silver.
The three chattered again, and when Li Shanhu and Lian Dahui returned home, they immediately raised the matter of separating the family.
The cruel old couple only gave Lian Dahui and his wife a pot, a few baskets, and some corn noodles, and then kicked them out of the house.
Mrs. Zhou even threatened Li Coral not to teach others how to make vermicelli, nor to use it to make money.
Li Shanhu had expected that her unscrupulous parents-in-law would do such a terrible job, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Lian Dahui was heartbroken by his parents' actions.
The young couple had nowhere to go, so naturally they had to seek refuge with Meng Fuling.
As early as when the workshop was being built, Meng Fuling asked the masonry team to demolish the thatched hut where they lived and build a house.
Meng Fuling originally planned to expand the workshop in the future and use it as a workshop, but now she lives in Lian Dahui and Li Shanhuo, and borrows money for them to spend first.
Lian Dahui is an honest person, so he naturally refused to take advantage of Meng Fuling, so he offered to help her with work.
Meng Fuling asked the couple to work in the workshop.
******
When Mrs. Zhou and the others knew that even Dahui and his wife had been kicked out of the house, they lived in a new house instead, and they had money to buy things, they were so angry that they itched their teeth.
At the same time, they are even more envious of the vermicelli business, and they are more determined to start the vermicelli business.
On this day, Lian Dajin drove his own ox cart and took Mrs. Zhou into the city together. First, he went to Jiaoyinpu and borrowed 20 taels of silver with his own field as collateral.
Because the mother and son were so excited when they saw the white money, and because they were illiterate, they casually pressed their fingerprints on the loan deed.
As everyone knows, these intersection shops are very dark inside, and they only trick illiterate people. Once the deed is signed, it is like signing a deed of prostitution.
After leaving Jiaoyin Shop, the mother and son asked a few passers-by to find the location of the Fortune Restaurant, and finally found it. Seeing the restaurant's elegant decoration, both of them had bright eyes.
Without even thinking about it, they strode towards the threshold of the Fortune Restaurant.
The waiters in the Fortune Restaurant are living in dire straits these days, and both the boss and shopkeeper Bi have been beaten to death.
Both of them were injured, and the restaurant couldn't be left unattended. Fortunately, shopkeeper Bi's injuries were lighter than Zhu Laifu's, so he dragged his wounded body to the restaurant to sit in charge.
But as a wounded person, he couldn't even heal his wounds, so he was naturally in a bad mood, so the mistresses were out of luck.
Whenever you make a small mistake and get caught, the custodian will be used as a punching bag by shopkeeper Bi.
It made everyone feel like walking on eggshells, for fear that he would be the next one to fall into the hands of shopkeeper Bi.
At this time, the two mistresses gathered together to complain in a low voice, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many guests in the lobby.
Suddenly, I saw two old women dressed as peasants and a young man with mischievous eyebrows come in.
Without even thinking about it, the two rushed over in two or three steps, and scolded: "Where did the bumpkin come from? Get out!"
Mrs. Zhou said with a contorted smile: "Brother, wait a minute, we are here to find your shopkeeper Bi. We have a good deal to discuss with him."
"Forget it, our shopkeeper doesn't have the time to talk to you." The two mistresses pushed people away, even though the mother and son had worn out their mouths, they refused to let go.
The mother and son were on one side, holding the door frame tightly with both hands, and Mrs. Zhou begged repeatedly: "Little brother, we really have a big business to find shopkeeper Bi, let's meet shopkeeper Bi."
The two mistresses couldn't pull them away, so they became even more annoyed, but even Da Jin got impatient at being stopped, so he winked at Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou understood what her son meant when she saw it, and immediately let go of the door frame, sat on the ground and yelled loudly, "Master Bi, Master Bi! I'm from Lingyun Village, and I want to talk to you about selling vermicelli! "
At this time, shopkeeper Bi received the report and rushed over on crutches. After a glance, he recognized Mrs. Zhou.
When shopkeeper Bi thought that his injuries were caused by villagers of Lingyun Village, and Mrs. Zhou's mother and son were from Lingyun Village, his anger burned.
He gave them a hard look, turned his head to look at the diners who stretched their necks curiously, bowed his hands and said, "Xiao Er has no rules, let all the distinguished guests see a joke, everyone, don't lose your interest."
After a few words of politeness with the diners, shopkeeper Bi said to Mrs. Zhou and the others: "Come with me!"
It was the first time for the mother and son to come to such a rich place, and they looked around with their eyes wide open. They felt that both eyeballs were not enough for a moment, and they looked dumbfounded, making the children who passed by laugh endlessly.
After entering the wing room where shopkeeper Bi worked, shopkeeper Bi asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
In fact, shopkeeper Bi really wanted to drive them out, but when he heard that they wanted to discuss business with him, he wanted to see what the two bumpkins wanted to do.
The two of them smiled even more obsequiously when they heard shopkeeper Bi's inquiry. Mrs. Zhou stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, we know that the expensive restaurant wants to buy vermicelli. Now my family also wants to open a vermicelli workshop and want to sell it to the expensive restaurant."
When Shopkeeper Bi heard this, he sneered and said, "Didn't Meng Fuling be the only one who knew the recipe for making vermicelli? How did you know?"
He thought to himself that they either stole Meng Fuling's prescription or fooled him.
"It's like this, my eldest daughter-in-law has a good relationship with Meng Fuling, and now she's working in her workshop again, hehe—" Mrs. Zhou laughed before she finished speaking, which clearly meant that Li Shanhu had secretly taught them what she had learned. .
Shopkeeper Bi remembered that he was beaten when he failed to buy vermicelli that day, and was scolded by Zhu Laifu after returning, and his face became more and more gloomy.
He thought for a while before saying, "You really know how to make vermicelli?"
When the mother and son heard this, they promised in unison: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Shopkeeper Bi's eyes flickered, and he didn't ask them to make some for inspection first, so he said, "Okay, the finished vermicelli will be sold to our restaurant, let's order a hundred catties first."
When the mother and son heard a hundred catties, their eyes widened and they were extremely excited.
Mrs. Zhou nodded repeatedly and said, "Cheng, Cheng, shopkeeper, you said that day that you would double the price for Meng Fuling, and the vermicelli made by my family is not badly kept. Do you want to double the price for your restaurant?"
Shopkeeper Bi said bluntly, "Double is double, but it's only a hundred catties of vermicelli, and I'll have it in ten days."
Shopkeeper Bi thought that if they wanted to make a hundred catties of vermicelli, they would definitely hire villagers to help them make it. He didn't believe that Meng Fuling would easily distribute the way to get rich to others, and they would definitely not be able to make it.
When the time comes, hehe!He will fulfill what he said that day and let these bumpkins go to prison.
When Mrs. Zhou heard that the vermicelli could be sold for double the price, she was so excited that she hugged Lian Dajin and yelled, "Son, we are going to get rich, we are going to get rich!"
Seeing their behavior, shopkeeper Bi looked contemptuous, and beckoned someone to bring a pen, ink and paper, and asked them to hand over two deeds after drafting two deeds.
"Dajin, come and see." Mrs. Zhou smiled dryly and pushed the deed paper to Lian Dajin.
Although Lian Dajin was illiterate, he could see that shopkeeper Bi had been staring at him, so he didn't want to show his timidity, let shopkeeper Bi make fun of him, pretended to look at him a few times, and said: "There is no big mistake, so be it. My handwriting is ugly. , let the shopkeeper write two strokes for me, and I will do it with a fingerprint."
Shopkeeper Bi sneered, added a few strokes casually, and the two of them pressed their fingerprints respectively to finish the job.
The mother and son negotiated a 'big business', and immediately felt that they were also wealthy people.
Saying goodbye to the way out of the Fortune Restaurant, he almost lifted his chin to the sky, looking arrogant.
Even a little girl accidentally blocked the way, and was reprimanded by Lian Dajin for not being good at it, which is really extremely arrogant.
As soon as the mother and son returned to the village, they told people everywhere that their family was going to make vermicelli, and showed off the money they had borrowed.
Seeing that they really had money, the villagers rushed to help them make vermicelli.
Mrs. Zhou was reluctant to spend money to hire too many people, so she decided to hire two people.
Lian Dajin was coaxed by two good pig friends to agree to hire them, but these two had the same virtue as Lian Dajin.
Not to mention how mother-in-law Zhou and her son were, Meng Fuling was in a great mood when she heard the news.
Coincidentally, not long after, Han Hualin had someone invite her to the restaurant, and introduced her to a wealthy businessman named Qiu from the capital city.
This is no ordinary wealthy businessman, but an imperial businessman. It turns out that Boss Qiu and Han Hualin are old acquaintances.
Some time ago, when he was passing through Qishan County, he came to Shiweitian to meet Han Hualin. He ate vermicelli and thought it was very novel, so he bought some for a high-ranking official he knew.
This senior official also liked it very much, so he asked him to buy two hundred catties of vermicelli as a gift this time.
Because it was introduced by Han Hualin, and Boss Qiu offered a very good price, Meng Fuling accepted the order, and the two sides signed a contract.
Meng Fuling took the order, returned to the village, went straight to the workshop, and asked the workers to make two hundred catties of vermicelli.
The workers are now proficient, and it is also fast to make vermicelli.
Today, accompanied by gourds, Meng Fuling visited the workshop again. Seeing that two hundred catties of vermicelli can be made in two days, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way home from the workshop, she saw many villagers running in the direction of Mrs. Zhou's house, and she thought that something really happened.
"Hulu, let's go and have a look too." She tugged on Hulu's sleeve, wanting to watch the excitement.
"No way!" Calabash shook her head without thinking, saying that she would not let her go to a crowded place.
"With you here, no one would dare to squeeze me." Naturally, Meng Fuling knew that he was afraid that she would be pushed, so she laughed.
After hearing her words, Hulu felt inexplicably relieved, but he still refused to let go, "It's just a bunch of jumping clowns, nothing to look at!"
Meng Fuling was not afraid of Hulu, but because she knew that Hulu cared about her, so she didn't argue with him.It's just that it can be said that she started the matter at Mrs. Zhou's house, so she would naturally be very curious.
Hulu's eyes darkened, and without waiting for her to say more, he hugged her horizontally.
"What are you doing? Let me down!" Meng Fuling didn't expect Hulu to behave like this, and was taken aback.
Hulu responded to her with only two words, "Go home!"
Meng Fuling couldn't break free, so she had to let the gourd hold her, but no matter how thick-skinned she was, she was carried back into the house by the gourd like this, causing ambiguous eyes from Mrs. Qiao and the others, and her cheeks turned red.
Mrs. Xue was very happy when she saw it. Meng Fuling was extremely depressed. The gourd would have convulsions if nothing happened. She gave him a hard look and stopped talking to him.
She was just about to ask Mrs. Qiao to inquire about Mrs. Zhou's family, when Li Shanhong came to the door.
"Fuling, something happened to my mother-in-law." Li Shanhong ran to Meng Fuling and said happily.
Meng Fuling waved Mrs. Qiao and the others away, and said helplessly, "When you leave my house, don't let people see you so happy."
"I know, I know, I will be stabbed in the back." Li Shanhu nodded straightly,
Meng Fuling knew that Li Coral was being squeezed by her parents-in-law and uncle, so she was so happy to hear that something happened to them.
She also wanted to know the situation of Mrs. Zhou's house, so she urged Li Shanhu, "Quickly tell me."
It turned out that Mrs. Zhou and shopkeeper Bi had agreed to make a hundred catties of vermicelli and send them to Hongyun Restaurant in ten days, but before ten days passed, shopkeeper Bi sent someone to remind her.
But Mrs. Zhou and the others used the method of leaking grass and powder, which was not efficient at all, and the two they hired were as lazy as Lian Dajin.
After being urged by shopkeeper Bi, he hurriedly made about twenty catties and sent it to Hongyun Restaurant.
As a result, the diners had diarrhea after eating everything, and the Fortune Restaurant offended many people at once.
At this time, shopkeeper Bi is personally coming to Mrs. Zhou to arrest people.
"Fu Ling, what do you think if they ask Dahui to help put an end to this disaster?" In fact, Li Shanhu was still a little nervous.
She was afraid that Lian Dahui would know that she deliberately seduced his parents and brothers into greed.
"Do you think Brother Dahui has the ability to settle this disaster?" Meng Fuling asked with a smile.
"No!" Li Shanshan shook her head and said, she was no longer as happy as before.
The two of them have to rely on Meng Fuling to have a place to live. How could Dahui have the ability to help Mrs. Zhou put an end to this disaster?
"That's right, don't think too much about it, Mrs. Zhou and the others deserve it," Meng Fuling comforted.
******
Shopkeeper Bi stared at the few people who were huddled together, so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, feeling like he was shooting himself in the foot with a stone.
He predicted that they would never be able to make vermicelli, so he dared to sign a contract with them without Zhu Laifu's consent.
I don't know how this matter got to Zhu Laifu who was still in bed recovering from his injuries, and asked him to order the family to make some vermicelli first and try selling them in the restaurant.
It's okay if they can't make it, but they really made it.
Now that the vermicelli was made, it had to be taken to a restaurant and sold to customers. As a result, all the guests who had eaten the vermicelli suffered from diarrhea.
Shopkeeper Bi naturally cannot avoid responsibility, Zhu Laifu said that if he doesn't settle this matter and restore the restaurant's reputation, it will not be as simple as kicking him out of the restaurant.
"Catch them!" Shopkeeper Bi roared angrily, with resentful eyes wishing to swallow Mrs. Zhou and the others alive.
"No! The shopkeeper, it's none of our business, we don't know anything!" Seeing several tall and burly men approaching, Mrs. Zhou was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy.
Lian Shimu and Lian Dajin also kowtowed and begged for mercy, Lian Dajin yelled and evaded: "Master Bi, it was my sister-in-law who taught us how to make vermicelli. If you want to find it, go to her."
"Hmph! Do you still want to say that Meng Fuling instructed your sister-in-law to put laxatives in the vermicelli?" Shopkeeper Bi snorted coldly.
In fact, before he came to Lingyun Village, he also thought about pulling Meng Fuling into the water, but he didn't have the courage to think about Zhu Laifu's fate.
Mrs. Zhou nodded when she heard what shopkeeper Bi said, "That's right! That's right! It was Meng Fuling who asked my eldest daughter-in-law to put laxatives in the vermicelli."
The two employed people also scrambled to shirk responsibility, and in the end, they even asked Mrs. Zhou for wages.
In short, the scene was chaotic, and the surrounding villagers didn't help to say something nice just because they were from the same village, maybe they were saying that Mrs. Zhou deserved it.
You have to know how annoying Zhou Pozi and Lian Dajin's faces were when they took out their silver to show off.
"Shut up! Take them all to the Yamen!" Shopkeeper Bi lost all patience.
"Ya, Yamen? I won't go!" Lian Dajin was terrified when he heard that he was going to the Yamen. He screamed, and left his parents and went to a place where there were few people.
Even the place where Dajin drilled was full of villagers. The villagers dispersed voluntarily for fear of getting into trouble.
Therefore, Lian Dajin was given a way to escape. He often sneaked around, and being chased and beaten was a common occurrence, and he ran as if his feet had been greased.
"Quick! Catch him!" Shopkeeper Bi was furious. If it wasn't for his foot injury, he would really have to jump.
Lian Dajin was born and bred in Lingyun Village, he was familiar with the environment, so he ran straight up the mountain, and the people sent by shopkeeper Bi naturally couldn't catch up with him.
In the end, Lian Dajin could not be found, so Bi shopkeeper had to take Pozi Zhou and Lian Shimu away.
Lian Dajin hid in the mountains until midnight, and now he was thirsty and hungry. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was Meng Fuling who helped Li Shanhu to harm them on purpose.
Thinking about it this way, even Da Jin hated Meng Fuling in his heart, thinking that if you dare to harm us, I won't make it easier for you.
People who are in a desperate situation are irrational. Even Da Jin touched the vicinity of his home and entered the house when he saw that shopkeeper Bi had no one to guard him.
He took the lamp oil and fire pockets at home and came to Meng Fuling's workshop...
******
Meng Fuling was soundly asleep when she was woken up by a loud knock on the door, "Miss, miss, something is wrong!"
"Lan Xiang, what happened?" Meng Fuling was shocked.
Just about to put on her clothes and get out of bed, when she turned her head to look, she found that there was another person on her bed at some point, who is this person if not a gourd?
At this time, he was also woken up by the knock on the door. Meng Fuling acted like a ghost. Why did the gourd appear on her bed?
Looking down and seeing that her middle dress was well on, Meng Fuling breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't have time to ask him why he was on her bed.
Hulu took a step ahead of her, opened the door, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Miss, Uncle, the workshop is on fire." Lan Xiang's eyes turned red anxiously.
"What? The workshop is on fire? Is the night watchman okay?" Meng Fuling was astonished and asked anxiously.
