Chapter 19 Teach the gangster a lesson
Boss Shen wanted to calm down Old Lady Shen's anger, but the old lady was not happy. She wanted to make it clear in front of everyone today.
"I was wondering why the waiter always said I was taking advantage of the cloth piles! Now I understand. In the past, the eldest brother would always take back a few pieces of cloth that the cloth shop couldn't sell, saying that it was a gift to our parents."
"Even so, I was afraid that the eldest brother would be looked down upon at my father-in-law's cloth pile, and I was also afraid that others would say that our Shen family liked to take advantage of our in-laws. Every time the eldest brother brought back cloth, we paid him money!"
"What? Didn't the boss give the money to the store? This is really weird. I gave the money, how can I get the advantage?"
"Waiter, since you said that I, Old Lady Shen, bought cloth from your cloth pile without paying, then call your boss out and let me ask you, when did I, Old Lady Shen, take cloth without paying?"
"No matter what, I am also a scholar's wife. I cannot let you slander me like this."
Old Mrs. Shen spoke as fast as a machine gun, with solid logic and evidence, which made everyone present begin to feel confused.
Is this old woman the wife of a scholar? There are only two scholars in their town, and the status of a scholar is extremely high. Moreover, scholars attach great importance to reputation and generally would not do such a thing.
Furthermore, the fact that the old woman was willing to ask the cloth pile owner to come over showed that she had nothing to hide.
The old woman said that she paid for the cloth every time, but the waiter acted as if he was righteous. What was going on?
Some smart people had already heard the whole story from the conversations of several people and turned their attention to Boss Shen.
When Boss Shen heard the whispering, he became so angry that his face turned red and he wished he could find a place to hide.
In the past, he took the unsold cloth from the store home, and then got some silver for new cloth from Old Lady Shen. In order to get more silver, he pretended to be pitiful in front of the waiter and his father-in-law, saying that his mother was too domineering and that if he didn't take the cloth back, he would be scolded by his mother and accused of being unfilial.
In this era, filial piety is emphasized. For the sake of his two grandchildren who were studying, the father-in-law did not say anything and tacitly approved of his behavior. He also gained a lot of benefits from it.
What he didn't expect was that today when the waiter stood up for him, the old mother did not back down, exposed the matter and slapped him in the face in public.
What a hell!
"Mom, stop talking, let's go to the backyard first."
Boss Shen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He pulled Boss Shen and walked into the yard.
Shen Mingzhu spoke again: "Uncle, grandma paid you for the cloth you brought home before, and we didn't want to take advantage of you this time. Since this waiter doesn't want to sell us the cloth, we will go to the county town to buy it."
"Grandma, let's go. There are not only more fabrics in the county town, but also more colors of embroidery threads. We won't come to this despised cloth pile anymore."
Old Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement and said to Old Master Shen, "Old Master, since you are working for your father-in-law, do your job well. You have your own life. I will not come to disturb you in the future."
There was some depression and disappointment in Mrs. Shen's tone. She walked out without giving Boss Shen a chance to react.
Boss Shen didn't react for a while. By the time he reacted, Old Lady Shen had already brought Shen Mingzhu and Su out of the camp.
He hurriedly chased after them, only to see that the three had already gone far away. Boss Shen returned to the store, facing the onlookers pointing and talking, feeling embarrassed, and afraid that others would see that he was guilty, so he quickly hid in the backyard.
As soon as Boss Shen stepped into the backyard, he felt as if he had lost something. He also felt ashamed today and became jealous of Old Lady Shen and Shen Mingzhu.
"Grandma, did you see uncle's purple face? Uncle is so hypocritical."
"Yes! I feel so sorry for the former Old Lady Shen and the second and third branches of the Shen family, especially Old Lady Shen. She couldn't even bear to eat an egg herself and gave all the family's money to Boss Shen's family. But Boss Shen went out to ruin Old Lady Shen's reputation. He is worse than an animal."
Old Mrs. Shen did not intend to teach Boss Shen a lesson today. She really came to accompany Su to buy cloth and silk thread. However, she did not expect Boss Shen to behave like this. She could not stand it, so she gave Boss Shen a little lesson.
Old Lady Shen and her two friends were not in a hurry to buy fabric and embroidery thread. They still had some fabric and embroidery thread at home, but the fabric was not very good! They would go to the county town in a few days to see if there was any good fabric.
Shen Mingzhu and the other two came to the place where they had agreed to meet Shen Laosan and waited for Shen Laosan and his son.
Not long after, Shen Mingzhu saw Shen Laosan and others coming out of the bookstore.
"Dad, you guys are out, did you buy the book?"
Shen Laosan shook his head and said, "The bookstore in town is too small. There are many old books, most of which are enlightenment books. There are very few books about the imperial examination."
"Then let's go back first!"
After several people left the city and walked to an uninhabited open space, they saw a man with a dogtail grass in his mouth, blocking their way in a nonchalant manner.
Old Third Shen frowned as he looked at the person who came, then nodded at the man, called out "Brother Liu", and prepared to leave with his family.
But the man stopped them from leaving, with a fake smile on his face, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey! Shen Lao San, don't you recognize Brother Liu?"
Shen Lao San sorted out the memories of his original body and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, long time no see, how are you?"
Shen Mingzhu secretly observed this person. This man surnamed Liu had fierce eyes and a scar at the corner of his eye. It was obvious that he was not a good person. She guessed that this person was the boss that Shen Lao San used to hang out with.
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but give Shen Laosan a blank look. This guy was provoked by your former father. Let's see how you deal with him.
Shen Lao San noticed his daughter's gaze, smiled awkwardly, and said to the visitor: "Brother Liu, I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first."
The man surnamed Liu blocked their way, looked at Su with ill intent, and sneered:
"Hey, this is my sister-in-law and my little niece. My sister-in-law is so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on flowers! Third Mr. Shen, this is wrong. Why don't you bring my sister-in-law out to drink with us?"
Su frowned and was about to scold him, but Shen Lao San blocked Liu's gaze, stood in front of Su, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want? Don't block the way if you have nothing to do."
Shen Mingzhu said to the system in her mind, "System, exchange two large Ganoderma lucidum for a bottle of Hercules liquid."
The host finally made up his mind to redeem it, and the system was overjoyed and redeemed it immediately.
Shen Mingzhu drank the medicine while they were talking, and instantly felt warm and possessed of infinite power.
She stared closely at this malicious person, always feeling that this person was up to no good. She now had the power to protect her mother.
Shen Mingzhu's eyes became colder and colder, and she looked at Liu as if he were a dead person.
Seeing that the beauty was blocked, the man surnamed Liu remained calm. His malicious gaze fell on Shen Mingzhu again and he said frivolously:
"My little niece is as pretty as her mother. Come on, go play with your uncle. Your uncle will take you to have some fun."
Shen Mingshu immediately stood in front of Shen Mingzhu and said in a deep voice: "A good dog doesn't block the road. We don't have an uncle named Liu. I advise you to get out of the way."
There was a fierce look in Shen Mingshu's eyes. He had already made up his mind that he would get rid of this man who flirted with his mother and sister if he had the chance.
