Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 92 Black sesame filling
Jinlefang, a decades-old shop, had always been a frequent haunt of local ladies and young ladies, with a constant flow of customers. However, recently, their shop had been completely deserted. Today, in particular, not even a single casual customer had come, let alone regular customers.

The shopkeeper, with a sullen face, opened a bottle, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then said to the clerk beside him, "Hasn't our master craftsman come up with something better yet?"

"The old masters have done their best. Over the years, they have tried their best to mix various dressing ingredients. They have already come up with all the recipes they can think of."

"It seems we should find some young perfumers. The old ones may have good skills and experience, but they don't have fresh minds. Where's Chen Fugui?" the shopkeeper asked again, "Why didn't I see him today?"

"The second shopkeeper didn't come to the store. Maybe he was delayed by something!" The clerk guessed, "I'm not sure either."

There were cries and shouts coming from outside, the voices were sharp, and someone was talking about Jinlefang or something.

The shopkeeper walked out and saw two bloody people lying at the door, crying and shouting. When they saw him come out, they cried even more miserably.

"Who are you and why are you causing trouble in front of our store?"

"Wow... everyone, please judge for yourself. It was clearly Jinlefang who hired us to cause trouble in Taoyaofang, and now we've been sued by Taoyaofang and beaten with a stick at the government office, and they've turned their backs on us. I can't walk... My waist is broken... Especially my butt, there's not a single piece of good flesh left... Ouch... It hurts so much... It hurts so much..."

"Shopkeeper, Chen Fugui put low-quality powder on me, and my face turned out like this. He also got me a Taoyaofang cream and told me to throw dirty water on Taoyaofang. But the people at Taoyaofang were too careful, so not only did we fail to do it, we even got beaten with a stick. Now Taoyaofang wants us to compensate for the losses, and we're two poor guys, where can we get the money? Shopkeeper, you have to take responsibility!"

More and more people heard the cries and gathered around.

The shopkeeper hadn't seen so many people gathered in front of their shop for several days. But at this moment, he would rather there was no one at all.

"Where is Chen Fugui? Find Chen Fugui immediately." The shopkeeper roared angrily.

"I'll go find it right away."

Chen Fugui caused trouble but was not at the scene. As the owner of Jinlefang, he had to take the responsibility.

He said to the couple, "Chen Fugui hired you to harm someone. You did such a heartless thing for money. How dare you cause trouble for our Jinlefang? Chen Fugui's actions are his own and have nothing to do with Jinlefang. Jinlefang has always been open and aboveboard and would never do anything to hurt someone behind their back."

"Everyone, has our Jinlefang ever harmed anyone before? Everyone has witnessed it. We can afford to win and lose. However, Chen Fugui is indeed our second-in-command. From today on, this second-in-command has nothing to do with Jinlefang. We will find him and send him to Taoyaofang to make amends."

The blackmailing couple turned their heads and looked in the direction of the corner.

The people who were standing there just now have left, probably very satisfied with their performance.

Suddenly, they felt relieved to have survived the disaster.

That young boy is so handsome, but his methods are so vicious.

Just now, he followed the police to take them to the government office. The government did not need a county magistrate to try such an obvious case. The lawyer directly made the verdict and let the police take them to be beaten with a stick.

The young man stared at them as they were beaten with a stick, and told the officer that he had sent them to the government office, and now that they had been beaten, he couldn't let them dirty the government office grounds with blood all over them, so he said he would take them away.

Yes, he did take them away. He found some beggars to carry them to the Golden Music House, and said that if they did not finish the play, their legs would be broken.

He would never forget the cruelty in those eyes. Even if the boy said he would kill him, he would have believed it. Taoyaofang opened, and the customers were almost squeezing the doorway.

Although there was some unpleasantness just now, that incident not only did not affect their business, but instead attracted more and more customers to come after hearing the news, and business was better than expected.

Su Yaoguang looked around at the door for a few seconds.

Zhang Zhaodi asked, "Are you worried about Wangshu?"

"Why did he take so long?" Su Yaoguang took another look. "He has always been timid and honest. I shouldn't have left this kind of thing to him."

"He's a grown man, and he's followed by officials. Are you still worried that he'll be bullied?" Zhang Zhaodi said, "Don't be so nervous. No, he's back, isn't he?"

Su Yaoguang followed Zhang Zhaodi's gaze and saw Zhou Wangshu striding in. She walked over to him and looked him over. "What took you so long? Are you okay?"

"I came back after watching them being beaten with sticks. Each person received thirty large sticks. Afterwards, they couldn't walk anymore and had to be carried out."

"Deserved it."

"Are we just going to let Jinlefang go like this?" Zhang Yingdi asked from the side. "They've acted so dishonorably. If they did it once, they'll do it again. Are we just going to accept this loss?"

"Today is our grand opening day. Let's ignore those people for now and wait until we finish what we have on hand." Su Yaoguang said, "Wangshu, go help my uncle."

Zhou Wangshu looked at Wang Huanzhi, who nodded at him.

Zhang Zhaodi knew that Zhou Wangshu didn't know these people yet, so she began to introduce them to them.

Everyone had already met Zhou Wangshu, but he didn't know who they were. After a brief introduction, they got to know each other, and then went back to their own business.

There were too many guests today, and they had no time for small talk. If they wanted to exchange pleasantries, they could do so after seeing off the guests and reviewing the day's achievements in the evening.

"Yaoguang..." Chun'e ran in excitedly from outside. "Something big has happened!"

Su Yaoguang now gets a headache whenever he hears the words "something big has happened." But judging by Chun'e's expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

"Sister Chun'e, do you have any good news to share with me?"

"It's not my happy event, it's yours," Chun'e said. "The two people who just came to your shop to cause trouble are now crying and shouting in Jinlefang. Everyone in the city knows about the bad things Jinlefang has done. I heard that the shopkeeper is looking for Chen Fugui and plans to bring Chen Fugui to you to apologize! He hasn't come yet, it must be because Chen Fugui is hiding and he hasn't found the culprit."

"Those two people were beaten with thirty sticks, but they still went to Jinlefang to cause trouble?" Su Yaoguang was surprised.

"That's right. People like them definitely want some compensation!" Chun'e curled her lips and said, "But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It helped your Taoyaofang become famous and let more people know about your festival. It can be considered as climbing up the ladder by stepping on the shoulders of Jinlefang. Everyone knows that your Taoyaofang's rouge and powder are even feared by Jinlefang, a decades-old brand. It shows that they are good stuff."
