Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 238: Neurotic Cousin Bing
"This is what they call being greedy leads to poverty. A gentleman who loves money must get it in a proper way."

After listening to Cousin Bing's story, Lao Dou made a summary speech. And the elder Guang also sighed: "Cousin, this time it was all because you were eager to get rich. As soon as you heard the word money, you followed the man. How can you blame Xianglan? If it were me, I would have lied to you too."

"That's right." Xianglan nodded and said angrily, "And that man only said he was from southern Henan, but he couldn't speak a word of southern Henan dialect. According to you, everyone from southern Henan is a liar?"

Cousin Bing was in a bad mood and could not listen to any reason. He pointed at Xianglan and said, "If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have remembered it. That day in the restaurant, that guy from southern Henan said he was your fellow villager. He also called you "big sister" and you responded to him. If it weren't for you, would I have been deceived by him?"

"I don't even know him. He is a customer in the store. Of course I have to respond to him when a customer calls me. How would I know whether he is a good person or a bad person? I only know that he is here to eat." Xianglan responded to her cousin Bing with a look of grievance.

The second sister-in-law couldn't stand it any longer. She and her father had experienced the same thing a few days ago. She spoke up for Xianglan, "The eldest sister-in-law has always been kind and honest. Even if that person is bad, it has nothing to do with the eldest sister-in-law. How can you kill a whole boat of people with one bamboo pole?"

Cousin Bing disagreed. He waved his hand and said, "Achan, today I will teach you some principles of life. When you see people from southern Henan in the future, turn around and leave. Don't let people from southern Henan into your tea restaurants and clothing stores."

"You are crazy, the more the better, I am doing business." The second sister-in-law rolled her eyes, "I wish all the people in Guangzhou and southern Henan would come to our store to consume."

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. None of you have any sympathy at all." Seeing that no one agreed with him, Cousin Bing went back to his room angrily.

Seeing his cousin Bing go in, Kang Qirui shook his head and said helplessly: "This cousin is a person who is afraid of ropes after being bitten by a snake once. Sister-in-law, you don't have to pay attention to him, just treat it as nonsense." Da Lao Guang was also beside Xianglan to comfort her. Xianglan shook her head, stood up and went back to her room.

Just as Kang Qirui said, this time cousin Bing was completely scared of the rope after being bitten by a snake once. He even dreamed at night that he was forced by people in pyramid schemes. "I won't go, I won't be a downline, I won't do pyramid schemes, I will fight you to the death, I will kill you." Cousin Bing jumped up from the bed. This nightmare made his whole body drenched in sweat. He held his forehead and decided to take a shower to calm down.

The next day, everyone went to school, went to work, or went out, and finally, only cousin Bing was left at home. He was alone in the huge Kang family with nothing to do, and somehow he was a little scared. He thought about it and decided to go to the old tea restaurant where Xianglan worked to help. On the surface, he was helping, but in fact, he wanted to wait and see if he could meet the man who deceived him again.

Xianglan had no choice but to let him stay in the store to help. After Cousin Bing changed into the waiter's uniform, he saw a customer walk in. He hurried over and said, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Give me a bowl of beef noodles." The customer looked at the menu and said. When my cousin Bing heard the word "I", he became excited. "Are you from southern Henan? Excuse me, sir. We don't welcome people from southern Henan here. Please come to the rescue."

"Hey? What's your rule? Why don't you welcome people from southern Henan?" The guest got excited and asked in a bad tone. Cousin Bing got even more impatient when he heard his tone, "Don't worry about it. Anyway, you people from southern Henan are not welcome." He was about to reach out and pull the guest up.

The guest naturally had a temper. He pushed his cousin Bing and asked loudly, "Why do you discriminate against people from southern Henan?" At this time, Xianglan heard the noise and ran over, "What's the matter?" After the guest told her what happened, Xianglan glanced at her cousin Bing and sighed, "Cousin, you should go into the kitchen and wash the dishes." After that, she ignored him and explained to the guest, "I'm sorry, we didn't say we don't welcome people from southern Henan. I am from southern Henan, how can we not welcome people from southern Henan? Come on, please take a seat."

After Xianglan pulled the guest to sit down again, she explained on behalf of her cousin Bing, "Please don't be offended. He was recently deceived by a man from southern Henan into a pyramid scheme. He escaped with great difficulty. So he is a little stressed out by the man from southern Henan. Sorry. So we will waive your bill for today. I hope you don't mind."

When the customer heard that the bill was free, his anger subsided. However, he still complained: "I said, how can we not entertain certain people to do business like this? But seriously, do you want a waiter like this? He looks old and ugly, and his words are easy to offend people."

"What? What did you say? I'm old and ugly?" Although cousin Bing was driven into the kitchen by Xianglan, he had been paying attention to the situation here. Hearing the guest complaining about him, he ran out excitedly and cursed: "What do you care what I look like? Let me tell you, you are from southern Henan, we don't welcome you here, go away." He was about to step forward and attack.

Xianglan quickly grabbed him and said, "Cousin, how can you talk like that? You can't just chase people away just because you're from southern Henan, right? Then will we still do business in the future?"

"I've known it for a long time. You people in southern Henan are all the same. You only know how to cover up for each other." Cousin Bing pointed at the customer and Xianglan and said. Xianglan was so angry that her body was shaking. She waved her hand and asked other waiters to pull Cousin Bing back to the kitchen so that out of sight, out of mind.

The customer was so angry with his cousin Bing that he didn't even find the offer of a free meal attractive at all, and he left swearing. "Hello? Hello? Hello?" Xianglan kept calling him from behind, but he had no intention of stopping.

"How is it? Did you see it? He said he wanted to eat but didn't." Cousin Bing ran out again. He even boldly guessed, "I think he might be a member of that pyramid scheme. They cheated me away here. After I ran away, they might have sent him here to investigate the situation."

Xianglan rolled her eyes. This cousin Bing really could think of anything. She rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't you just follow him?"

"Why are you following him?" asked cousin Bing in confusion.

"Follow him and see if he is sent by the pyramid scheme organization. If so, then you follow him to where they are hiding now, and then you can call the police to catch them all, and you will get your revenge, right?" Xianglan smiled and fooled her cousin Bing.

"That makes sense. That's right, I'll go first then." Cousin Bing thought it was very right, so he took off his apron and hat, said goodbye, and ran out to chase the man.
