I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman
Chapter 184 Sweet and Sour Fish
"Ms. Pei and Madam Pei are really as close as mother and daughter now. I wonder from time to time if there is something wrong with my memory, or if all this is really my imagination. Miss Pei spoke again: Mother, I guess this is also a poor person. She was confused for a while and said those words. She didn't mean it. Why don't we ask her if she has any difficulties and send her back to her family."
"This compassionate heart really made me angry. I don't know if it was because I returned to Pei Mansion or because of the grievance in my heart, but I had a strength I had never had before. I said: Mother, when I was three years old, I was naughty and accidentally fell into the lotus pond. My brother almost lost his life in order to save me. I also had a scar on my wrist that is difficult to cover up. Do you still remember?"
"With every extra word I said, Madam Pei became more nervous. She looked at my wrist and saw a scar. She was surprised, but soon turned to sneer: Many people in this mansion know about this. I have invited many famous doctors to reduce the scar for Shu'er. What's your scar? She raised Pei Jingshu's hand. There was also a scar on her slender and white arm."
"I didn't give up, and continued, 'Mother, do you remember the cat I loved most when I was little? It had one blue eye and one yellow eye. I named it Tuanzi. I kept it company every day, holding it in the yard to bask in the sun. One time, the cat ran away, and I cried and made a fuss. It was only after my father and his servants searched everywhere that Tuanzi was finally found."
"Mrs. Pei was slightly startled, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her indifference. Humph, you just made up some old stories and wanted to pretend to be my daughter. There are many people in the capital who know the old stories of the Pei Mansion. Your tricks are not enough."
"Miss Pei gently pulled Madam Pei's sleeve and said softly: Mother, don't be angry, maybe her memory is really confused. Why don't we listen to what else she has to say? If she is really a liar, it won't be too late to send her to the authorities."
"I looked at Mrs. Pei and Miss Pei's departing backs in despair, my heart filled with helplessness and pain. Could it be that my biological mother really couldn't recognize me? Or did she simply not want to recognize me? In this cold woodshed, I tried hard to think if there was anything that could prove it, but when I was a child, I was always followed by a group of people, and there was almost no privacy. Besides, I was lost at a young age, and there were very few things I could remember."
The woman got up and left, leaving behind a group of listeners who were cursing and swearing. They had been listening to these two passages over and over again in the past few days. Why weren't there any new ones?
Cursing is useless. The Wufulou restaurant is packed with people. The owner of Wufulou probably doesn't care about their complaints at all.
Now, many seats were vacant, but many people came one after another, and the seats were arranged in an orderly manner. Zhao Qiqi also admired Shen Shihui's management ability.
"Mrs. He." Zhao Qiqi's lips curled up into a smile. She and He Honglian were both actors on the stage. Today, it all depended on which actor could handle this big show.
Many of those who followed were merchants Zhao Qiqi was familiar with. Some of them were just following the trend to see who would win today. No matter who lost face today, these people would be the winners.
"Qiqi, long time no see. I know that you and my niece have opened a restaurant together, but I, as your elder, didn't know about it, so I came late. It's my fault. You don't have to be so reserved. We have already reserved a table, and I believe the dishes are ready."
He Honglian couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. She treated Qiao as her elder. Her niece and sister-in-law had jointly opened a restaurant but didn't inform her as the elder. And they came to support them today, which showed how ignorant Zhao Qiqi and Shen Shihui were of etiquette.
"I wanted to invite you, but Shi Hui was afraid that you would be embarrassed to meet her because of what happened with Mr. He last time, so I didn't invite you. In the end, I was inconsiderate."
This matter was deliberately concealed by He Honglian. In addition, although Mr. He was angry, he did not want to force his daughter to death. He also conceded that she could use the relationships he had maintained over the years of doing business to get some convenience. Most of the merchants in the county did not know about this.
But when Zhao Qiqi said this, businessmen, who are all shrewd people and who also knew something about He Honglian's recent situation, more or less sensed something.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. He Honglian had no choice but to force a smile and ask everyone to take their seats with their families. She also praised them, "I've heard that the steamed fish at Wufulou is very delicious. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Today I finally have the opportunity to taste it. Everyone, please try it carefully later."
She sat down and looked at the servant she brought with her. She had suffered a lot in front of these two people before, so this time, she had to be more cautious. In order to be absolutely sure, she didn't even bring He Lianjun with her, for fear that someone would ruin her plan.
"Don't worry, it's still winter, and the daily supply is limited. I bought all of them. Not only did I destroy all the fish, I also sent people to keep watch to ensure that Wufulou couldn't buy any more fish."
He Honglian felt relieved, and as she watched the performance, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
She knew that these two people were full of tricks, so she didn't take all the fish away at the beginning, leaving some for them to buy. However, they used some of the fish in the afternoon. Then they started to buy all the fish and booked dinner at Wufulou. There was fish on every table. The reason why she didn't catch them off guard was to watch them struggle, and then make a big deal out of it to ruin their reputation.
It was too late to go to Lin County to buy fish. She had already bought all the fish in Qixian Town early in the morning. By the time they realized what was happening, they would only be more desperate.
Really, can’t wait to see the show.
As the dishes came up one by one, He Honglian's expression became more and more proud. She was just waiting for the last dish, and everyone exchanged knowing glances.
"The last dish, sweet and sour fish!"
When He Honglian heard this, she stood up suddenly. There were not only merchants here, but also customers. She made a lot of noise, so others couldn't help but look at her.
He Honglian's face turned into an embarrassed expression. She lowered her head, but it was all gloomy. The last dish, sweet and sour fish, was served to other tables. She looked calm as the waiter served the dishes, but she couldn't help being nervous in her heart. She came here today to take advantage of the situation and make it impossible for Zhao Qiqi and Shen Shihui to continue their business here, but if she failed, she would have made a huge joke in front of everyone today, and these restaurants would all take Wufulou as an example in the future.
