Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 233 A Shameful Thing

Fortunately, Xiao Li didn't start arguing directly in the Gu family's yard, but even so, it was still quite speechless.

Of course, everyone understood that this Zhao Yalang knew that Xiao Li was sick and was here to steal the prize.

No wonder they brought so many random people; this guy surnamed Zhao seems to have no idea what their criteria for hiring people are.

Xu Qingmeng originally thought that he was only after the middleman's commission, but who would have thought that this person was bad.

Mrs. He immediately exploded and kicked all the people in the courtyard out.

Li Zi casually glanced at the people Zhao Er had brought over, and his previously calm heart immediately exploded. "What kind of people did you choose? They are truly wicked."

"What did I do wrong? What do you mean by 'these people'?" Zhao Er immediately retorted.

"You still won't admit it? Don't you know what kind of person Xia He is?" Little Li felt like killing him at that moment.

Zhao Er had brought his men in a hurry and hadn't really looked at them carefully, so he was quite embarrassed right now, having just made his statement.

Madam He really didn't want to listen anymore; buying a servant had turned into such a commotion.

"Zhao Yalang, right? We won't delay you today. Thank you for your hard work. Little Li, we're not in a hurry. Go back and rest. Your health is important. In the middle of winter, you don't want to develop any health problems."

He's words were so clear, Zhao Er understood perfectly, and slunk away with his men.

After Zhao Er left, Xiao Li quickly came to apologize to He Shi and the others.

"Auntie, this was truly my mistake. I really didn't expect this person to be so inconsiderate, it's really..."

"Madam Gu, if you still trust me, please wait for me for one more day, no, half a day will do. I'll bring the person over to you this afternoon, okay?"

Xiao Li was quite worried, after all, this matter had turned out so unpleasant, and he was afraid of incurring the Gu family's displeasure.

The He family and others weren't unreasonable, so they naturally knew that this wasn't Little Li's fault and waved their hands in agreement.

Xiao Li's tense heart immediately relaxed, and he didn't go home but went straight to the compound.

Seeing that everything was alright, Wang's mother and father decided to go back. After all, they had just moved in and there were still many things to do. Before they left, they thought they should tidy up their daughter's things.

Hui Niang wanted to play with Xu Qingmeng for a while and also wanted to see the twins, so she stayed at the Gu family with Yuanbao.

He felt that everything was fine, so she decided to go to the hot pot restaurant. She told Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang about it and then left.

"Mengniang, why are all the people in this prefecture so cunning? Could it be that they're all after your talented Gu?" Huiniang joked with Xu Qingmeng.

"What, are you blaming me? What, don't you have your own talented son Fang?" Xu Qingmeng retorted.

"Ha ha ha ha······"

What Hui Niang said was actually quite accurate, but Xu Qingmeng felt it wasn't just that. Perhaps it was because this hot pot restaurant was so popular lately that all the other restaurants in the city were envious. "Forget it, forget it, let's not think about it anymore. Let's go see the baby. Last time we were in such a rush, we didn't get to see him properly."

"Ah."

As Xiao Li hurried toward the courtyard, he suddenly felt something was amiss.

From what Xiao Li knew, neither the Gu family mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law were particularly demanding. Although Zhao Er was a scoundrel, with so many women in the family, it was impossible that he hadn't found anyone he liked.

He pondered the whole journey, but something just didn't feel right. Just when he thought he was starting to understand, Ya arrived.

The young man in charge saw Little Li and his eyes lit up immediately. "Oh, Little Li is here! I was just talking about you. Although you were very brave in saving people, it's really not good that you lay down right after saving someone."

Little Li didn't think anything of it, after all, the two had a good relationship, but he wasn't in the mood to chat with him right now.

"Stop with the nonsense, I'm here to talk to you about serious matters. What exactly happened today? The Gu family is a distinguished guest here, isn't it? Sending Zhao Er is one thing, but what kind of people did they send? Not a single one of them is reliable."

The steward's eyes darted around, and he quickly chuckled, "I just came back from outside and I don't know the situation yet. I guess there's been some misunderstanding. Besides, it's normal for a master to be dissatisfied with a servant the first time, isn't it?"

"Also, although you and the Gu family are neighbors, our business is about making money. Last time you bought a shop, you delayed and tried to lower the price. That's enough. Do you expect to keep doing business with the Gu family?"

Little Li kept his head down and didn't say anything.

Even so, he felt that regardless of whether there would be a next time, since someone asked him for a favor, it meant they trusted him, so he should do his best to do it well.

The person in charge wasn't unaware of his stubborn temper. "Alright, I know that Zhao Er was indeed dishonest this time. I'll personally pick two people for you later, okay?"

"Really? Then don't pick one that's too expensive. I want one that's strong and can do the work..." Little Li said happily, listing all his requirements.

The manager was speechless for a moment: "In all my years as a manager, this is truly the first time I've encountered a young man haggling with a broker. I have no idea what you're after."

After Xiao Li had settled things with the manager, he planned to go back and take his medicine first, and then come back in the afternoon. Just as he stepped out, he saw the manager of Zuixianlou arrive.

Xiao Li didn't pay much attention, although he was a little surprised. After all, their business was of average size, and it was the first time that a large restaurant like Zuixianlou had come here.

But before he could leave, he ran into the owner of another restaurant. As he walked toward them, Xiao Li immediately realized something was wrong.

Then he remembered what the steward had said, that he would personally pick out a few suitable people for him. Although it wasn't the first time, he had always been the one chasing after the steward for help. This was the first time he had taken the initiative.

The more Xiao Li thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He realized that this matter of the Gu family buying people was destined to end badly.

After much deliberation, Xiao Li realized that since he was going to work at the company, he couldn't make his intentions too obvious, so he still went to the Gu family's place.

Xu Qingmeng was chatting with Huiniang at this moment. Huiniang was telling her a lot about childcare. Although it had been a month, she was still in the postpartum period, and He Shi and the old woman were spending most of the time with her.

She also learned what behaviors a child exhibits to express discomfort, what simple little actions mean, and what to pay attention to at different ages. These kinds of small details were so numerous that just listening to them was a headache, let alone memorizing them all.
