Chapter 79 Decline in Attention
The villagers of Guojia Village have been coveting the charcoal-grilled oysters from Guo Dayong's eldest daughter-in-law's stall for a day or two. Unexpectedly, today, under the pretext of punishing evildoers, their stall's signature dish showed signs of slacking off.

The villagers were all excited for a moment, and everyone was clamoring that they had to beat up the big man tied up in the middle of the open space in order to vent their anger on Bomo's wife, in case the merchants who came and went were really eaten, and they would be affected. What to do about the reputation of port seafood products.

Everyone would also make some high-sounding excuses. Chang Pingning listened and looked at Meng Xia with a smile, feeling greatly relieved.

The tied man saw the abnormal excitement on the faces of the people in Guojiacun. He rolled on the ground in fear and shouted: "Sister! Madam Guo! Please help me!"

After hearing this, the villagers looked at each other in shock. It seemed that this man was really found by someone from their village, and maybe he was related by marriage.

The atmosphere became quiet for a while.The village chief took the opportunity and said: "Since this guy gave the second boy of the Dayong family a black eye, I think we should just let them fight him back. Brother Dayong, what do you think?"
"If you don't feel relieved, you can give one more person a beating or a beating. As for reporting it to the official, forget about it. The official will go and investigate. Not only will it take a lot of time, but you may also need to provide some tea. Fei, I don’t want you to report to the official, but I also think about your family.

"Dayong, this is mainly your family's business. You can discuss it with your siblings."

The village chief's attitude was very low. Upon seeing this, Guo Dayong walked to his daughter-in-law Ye Xiuying and started discussing in a low voice.

Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia. She was observing Guo Zhongzhou's expression. Although Guo Zhongzhou had a funny black eye circle on his face, his expression was eager to try. His father-in-law and mother-in-law also nodded while talking.

As for Guo Yuhua, I don’t know when she left the inner circle of the crowd.

For a moment, it looked like everyone accepted the village chief's proposal.

Chang Pingning breathed a sigh of relief. She stared at Meng Xia closely, trying to find an opportunity to tell her that she also wanted to recruit people.I hope Meng Xia can listen to her own thoughts before telling her plan.

Meng Xia seemed to know what Chang Pingning was thinking. She smiled at Chang Pingning, faced the people in Guojiacun, and picked up the previous topic again.

"Since everyone is interested in the charcoal-grilled oysters at our stall, I am curious whether the level of interest will be reflected in the punishment of this evil person."

Meng Xia smiled and walked from the central open space to Chang Pingning.

Meng Xia's departure was like a signal. Most of the villagers rushed forward, and painful wails came from the center.

"Ms. Chang, did I make you unhappy just now by telling you the recipe on my own initiative?" Meng Xia asked standing next to Chang Pingning.

"No." Chang Ping didn't dare to be unhappy, "It's thanks to the help of you and Miss Liu that I can make so much money with just two dishes during this period. Since you have such an idea, there must be something else." Consider.”

Chang Pingning knew that Meng Xia had many more strange thoughts in her head than she did.

"Don't say you want to reveal the recipe, even I myself have been planning to recruit more people to the stall recently." Chang Pingning's tone was light.

Guo Bomo, who was standing next to Chang Pingning, looked around his wife and saw that they were all people he knew from the same village. There was no danger, so he rushed to the center of the open space and punched and kicked the big man who had come to trouble his wife.

Meng Xia then noticed Guo Bomo and said in a casual manner: "Your husband-in-law is back?" After seeing Chang Pingning nodding, he took the initiative to ask, how does she plan to recruit more people to the stall?

But her eyes kept falling on the center of the original open space. As she said before, she wanted to see how interested the people in Guojia Village were in charcoal-grilled oysters.

After Chang Pingning heard Meng Xia's question, she was very happy that she finally had the opportunity to talk to her about her plans before Meng Xia made a decision.

First recruit two or three people who have not gossiped about their family behind their backs, and then tell everyone that there is still a vacancy, and plan to see who performs well before continuing to recruit.Meng Xia took a few glances at the beating scene in the middle of the clearing and lost interest. Instead, Chang Pingning's thoughts interested her even more.As she listened, she asked: Why do you want to find someone who has never gossiped about their family?How does Chang Pingning plan to pay those people?What if they themselves take the money given by the merchants?

The two of them were talking, mostly Chang Pingning answering questions raised by Meng Xia, each of which was a potential problem they might encounter in the future.

Chang Pingning told Meng Xia that some time ago, people in the village were deliberately instigating a relationship between her and her mother-in-law, and her mother found out about it. She came all the way to the port and then to Guojiacun, wanting to stand up for her.

As for wages, Chang Pingning plans to pay according to heaven, just like Guo Zhongzhou and Ruilan.These people used the small charcoal stove that she and Ruilan used at the beginning, which was placed next to the large barbecue grill on the stall.As for the money given by the guests, it was still Guo Zhongzhou who collected it.

Meng Xia was surprised when he heard this: "Are you going to put your stalls together?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" Chang Pingning blinked, not understanding what was wrong with what he was doing.

Meng Xia nodded: "Putting it all together, those diners will probably choose your stall. I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"

The two came together to discuss quietly.

When Guo Bomo walked toward Chang Pingning from the crowd of people beating up the villains and saw his wife's smiling face, he suddenly felt that he was a little redundant.

"Is your hand feeling better? Why did you rush to hit someone again?" Chang Pingning saw Guo Bomo return to his side and nervously grabbed the back of his hand and looked at it.

Then he looked at Meng Xia with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, there is something wrong with the back of my husband's hand..."

"It's okay." Meng Xia smiled, "Then let's follow our agreement?"

Chang Pingning nodded.

Meng Xia saw the people in the middle of the open space dispersed, and the tied man looked like he had been severely beaten.

Guo Zhongzhou on the side was still staring at the dark circles in the big man's eyes, as if he wanted to add something more.

But Ye Xiuying next to him was looking at him, as if she didn't want him to do anything too extreme again.

Seeing this, Meng Xia walked up again. When passing Guo Zhongzhou, he stopped and asked him, "Are you taking revenge?"

Guo Zhongzhou nodded vigorously at her with a happy expression.

Meng Xia smiled and patted Guo Zhongzhou on the shoulder, then walked towards the village chief, and whispered beside the village chief the plan she had just discussed with Chang Pingning.

Chang Pingning stared at Meng Xia and the village chief nervously, worried that their plan would be rejected by the village chief, or that the village chief would add some extra things.

"Daughter-in-law, why don't you ask me if you have found a buyer for the fishing boat?" Guo Bomo stretched out his arms and hugged Chang Pingning. He did not expect that after he came back this time, his wife's attention to him dropped greatly, and she did not even pay attention to the other one. A woman pays more attention.
