Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 259 also includes you
The end of the new year is approaching, and it is not only Xiao Huaijing who plans to go back "home"—Jiang Zisheng and others as well.

Jiang Xian started to deal with Fu Mantang after doing a little trick to make them stay in Jialin honestly.

After a few months, shopkeeper Luo saw Jiang Xian as if he saw a fairy in the sky, and he shed tears of bitterness while being excited.

"My boss—"

"You're finally back."

Tears welled up in the eyes of the young man in his twenties, and he rubbed his hands back and forth on the old cotton-padded clothes, causing the uneven fabric to appear wrinkled.

He was helpless and guilty, and the old-fashioned man only showed a bit of childishness at this moment: "Master, Fu Mantang is about to make ends meet, you asked me to go to the Xie family, but how can the Xie family help us..."

"I've been to the door several times, but I haven't even seen Master Xie."

A few months ago, the negotiation between Xie Wangmu and Su Songgui collapsed. Su Songgui would rather destroy Shuiyunjian than hand it over to Xie Wangmu.

Xie Wangmu was naturally angry, and all the evidence at hand was exposed to the light. For a while, everyone knew the truth, and Fu Mantang finally got his innocence.

But even so, Fumantang's business continued to decline again and again.

After all, no one wants to be a victim of bad competition.

Xie Wangmu didn't seek favor from Su Songgui, and when shopkeeper Luo came to ask him for help, he was naturally even more annoyed.

He originally had a lot of optimism about Fu Mantang, but now that he thinks about it, it's only mediocre, and he can't even solve this trivial matter.

Without the only person he could turn to for help, Jiang Xian was in Wendu County again, and shopkeeper Luo was so busy that he couldn't sleep at night.

After several months of deliberation, this situation has not turned around.

Jiang Xian listened to Shopkeeper Luo's words, and his eyes fell on Shopkeeper Luo.

When shopkeeper Luo was uneasy, she said another thing: "Who was that person at the front desk just now?"

Since the opening of Fumantang, Jiang Xian has done it by herself most of the time, and she knows everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiter.

But the boy in the gown just now, she was sure was an unfamiliar face.

Shopkeeper Luo was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly said: "The boss is talking about my cousin?"

"My cousin saw that I was anxious and had nothing to do recently, so he offered to help me... He has been smart since he was a child, and he has achieved fame since he was a teenager. Fortunately, he is here during these days."

It's just that young people have limited experience after all, and they are still unable to save Fu Mantang from the turmoil.

Jiang Xian repeated two words: "Fame?"

Shopkeeper Luo didn't understand Jiang Xian's thoughts, so he replied cautiously: "Yes."

"Xiaolan passed the Tongsheng when he was very young, but he failed the provincial examination twice in a row... My uncle wanted him to continue studying, but he felt that it would be a burden for his family, so he insisted on not studying. "

Tong Sheng.

Far from enough.

But Jiang Xian still kept this matter in his heart.

She nodded: "Go ahead and tell me that Fumantang has been in decline for a while, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay the high wages. Those who want to leave will pay them money and let them go."

Shopkeeper Luo's eyes widened and his mouth opened: "Master..."

Jiang Xian put her index finger between her lips and closed her eyes slightly, the back of the chair supported her whole body weight: "But those who are willing to stay, if we get through this difficult time, we will definitely not treat you lightly."

Looking at the appearance of his boss, it was a very tired gesture, and shopkeeper Luo's heart sank inch by inch.

Has the matter reached such a point that the boss can't solve it?
After a long silence, he replied: "Yes."

After Shopkeeper Luo walked out, Jiang Xian opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear.

During these days, she was busy from Wendu County to Quyi, where Baiyulou is located, and just returned to Linyi without any rest, and came to Fumantang again, almost non-stop.Fatigue is certain, but far from exhausted.

It's just to give Shopkeeper Luo a false impression.

The subsequent result was also within Jiang Xian's expectations. All the people including the back kitchen, accountant, and waiter disappeared. After all, everyone has to support their families, and feelings and loyalty cannot be eaten.

Jiang Xian was very calm.

But shopkeeper Luo was not so calm.

Even though he had the bottom line in his heart, he didn't expect to be so exaggerated, and his mentality almost collapsed: "What should I do?"

Seeing that Fumantang has become an empty building, Nuoda's space is usually an area where diners can move freely, but now it seems a little cold and silent.The wind blows from the porch to people, and the chill penetrates into the cotton clothes, making people feel even more desolate.

Jiang Xian looked directly at shopkeeper Luo: "I said at the time, if you want to leave, you can take the money and leave."

"Luo Gui, including you."

His usual clear voice was still calm and unwavering, but Jiang Xian rarely called shopkeeper Luo by name directly.

Shopkeeper Luo thumped in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Boss, if I don't leave, I will definitely not leave."

He is the shopkeeper of Fumantang, and in his heart, he is responsible for the current situation of Fumantang.

Jiang Xian shook his head lightly: "You don't need to express your opinion in a hurry, just come to me later."

Shopkeeper Luo paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew his hand, and after a while he replied: "Okay."

At the moment, he is full of enthusiasm and doesn't care, but there are parents, wife and children at home. If he has no income as the mainstay, will he let his family suffer from the northwest wind?
Shopkeeper Luo decided to go home and ask his mother and daughter-in-law for their opinions.

Unexpectedly, both my mother and daughter-in-law expressed support for this.

His daughter-in-law said: "Your current boss treats you well. Back then when Yang'er was sick, we couldn't afford money. If it wasn't for the benevolence of the boss, I don't know what's going on with Yang'er now... We can't just leave when someone is in danger. .”

"Now I still have some savings at home, so you don't have to take care of us when you want to make a decision."

Shopkeeper Luo was greatly moved, thinking that his daughter-in-law was kind and virtuous.

He nodded heavily, smiled at his wife, then looked at his youngest son who was sitting on a small wooden stool by the door frame, and went over to rub his head with his hand.

Nine-year-old Luo Qingyang was eating steamed buns, raising his head and grinning.

At this moment, they were only doing it for the sake of friendship, and no one thought what kind of opportunities this decision would bring to their youngest son many years later.

A few days later, Jiang Xian got the answer from Shopkeeper Luo.

After confirming it, she seemed to smile and then sighed.

Under Shopkeeper Luo's surprised eyes, she returned the lease contract of Fumantang to the dental firm and signed another agreement.

Dealing with Jiang's family was just incidental. From the very beginning, Jiang Xian's purpose was to shut down Fumantang.

First of all, because of the limited money in hand, she could only open one such restaurant.After saving some funds, she tried to slowly change the position of Fumantang from oriented to ordinary people to oriented to dignitaries, but it was very difficult.

Jiang Xian wanted to close Fumantang directly and start anew, so she was not stingy when she gave the profit to Xie's family.

It's just that Fumanlou's business is not bad, and there are many eyes staring at it secretly. After the closure is announced, some people will inevitably have doubts in their hearts, which will cause unnecessary troubles and affect her next move.

So there is such a deployment that lasts for several months.

——Using the Jiang family to get rid of the shackles of filial piety can give Fu Mantang a clear reason for his downfall, and there is a certain chance of getting rid of Shui Yunjian, a formidable enemy.

Of course, Jiang Xian was not sure about the last point, which was a surprise.

Later, in order to avoid trouble for Xie Wangmu's missing [-]% profit, she also asked shopkeeper Luo to ask Xie Wangmu for help.

It was obvious that Fu Mantang could not settle the bill by taking advantage of the power of the Xie family, but when shopkeeper Luo asked for his door many times, the nature changed.

After all, bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, presumably Xie Wangmu would not be willing to entangle with them.

Finally, there is one more point, this is also a test for shopkeeper Luo.

Facts have proved that he is indeed of good character. When Fu Mantang was declining, he only thought about how to save it. He didn't have the slightest thought of taking money and running away. He tried his best to save Fu Mantang, but it really had little effect.

Which is more important, character or ability?
In the past, Jiang Xian could only score [-] points for Shopkeeper Luo's performance, but considering the actual situation, Jiang Xian had to add [-] points.

Barely qualified.

She is single and weak in this world, so there are always a few people she can basically trust.

The closure of a restaurant did not cause much disturbance in Linyi, and the only one who made trouble in front of Jiang Xian might be Mrs. Hua.

Mrs. Hua had just finished telling her sister-in-law not to let her nephew ask for her own dismissal, but she didn't expect Fumantang to collapse in the winter of the same year.

It was not a big deal, but at that time there was a fairly good opportunity in front of Mrs. Hua's nephew, but because of Mrs. Hua's words, it was a pity that she missed it...

She felt that she had been deceived, and she was even more afraid of creating a rift with her natal family.

"Sister Xian, my aunt believes in you..." Mrs. Hua cried out with snot and tears, sincere and heartbroken, "If you don't, you won't go back to your mother's house, and I persuaded my nephew to stay in Fumantang ...Now you simply shut down that Fumantang, but let me how to deal with myself in my mother's house..."

She acted so sarcastically that she had genuine feelings: "My aunt treats you well on weekdays, and that's how you repay me..."

Facing Mrs. Hua's constant questioning, Jiang Xian leaned there lazily, with an indifferent expression and movement: "Enough is enough?"

"If you've said enough, please leave quickly, and don't send it off."

Jiang Xian's attitude was really not good. Mrs. Hua was stunned for a moment, patted her thigh, and acted like a rogue: "What's your attitude? Your parents left early, and the aunt has always treated you like a niece. That's how you treat your elders." of?!"

She took Joe up and said, "At the beginning you insisted on separating from your uncle and aunt, and it was because of me that I gave you an extra bag of rice noodles? Later, when you came back, I didn't see you with no father or mother. , all brought rice, noodles, meat and vegetables to the door, lest you be hungry?"

"Is that how you repay me?"

"I don't care, you have to bear this matter..."

Faced with Jiang Xian's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, Lady Hua's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and she suddenly stopped talking.

When Jiang Xian wanted to set up a female household, she really made some efforts in accordance with the principle of being happy when Cao is not happy.

Probably because of this, every time Jiang Xian returned to Zhuji Village these years, she could get some benefits from Jiang Xian's subordinates.

The girl in front of her was more tolerant to her than to Jiang Zisheng and Cao's two uncles and aunts.

But that's about it.

Mrs. Hua felt that Jiang Xian didn't want to owe anyone, rather than using the picture of gratitude.

But from the very beginning, the rice and vegetables she gave to Jiang Xian have never been accepted...

It's just the love of a bag of rice, so many times, even if there is a high interest rate, it will be paid off.

Miss Hua felt that she had never been so sober.
