At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Lin Qing nodded and thought to himself, no wonder so many people wanted to marry their daughters into the Jia family.

Even a wealthy man like Yu Jia was tempted, let alone the poor families in this time of famine.

But speaking of this, Shopkeeper Yu's actions are tantamount to cutting off someone's source of income...

No wonder there are always people causing trouble every now and then.

Lin Qing sighed and said, "Sorry to interrupt you, please continue."

It can be seen that it is indeed painful for Old Yu to recall these things, but because the envoy asked, he had to answer.

Yu Jia rubbed his face and said, "Looking back now, I really was blind. That day, I thought he was sincerely trying to find a good husband for Xiao Wan, and I even specially cooked a few of his specialties for him as a thank you gift.

"While we were drinking, he told me that if Xiao Wan could really marry into the Jia family, our family would become the most powerful. Not only would I benefit from it, but the Kitchen God Association would definitely welcome me with drums and gongs."

"He also said that my cooking skills were so superb that I would definitely have a place in the Kitchen God Association, and maybe the leader would look at me differently. He also said that if I ever found a good job, I should not forget our friendship today."

Lin Qing looked at Yu Jia with some pity.

Although he is a chef, his ability to draw up plans is not as good as his boss's.

Yu Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, you must think I'm ridiculous, right? For my own future, I'm willing to sacrifice my own daughter's life! But I was drunk at the time and actually believed what he said was true. I really thought I could take this opportunity to gain a foothold in Anping Town and let Xiaowan and his wife live a good life...

"After I sobered up the next day, I secretly cursed myself for being so stupid. Shopkeeper Hou is a businessman, and he won't do anything without profit. How could he be so nice to me for no reason? He must be trying to trick me. But what I didn't expect was that not only Shopkeeper Hou, but everyone in the restaurant was polite to me afterwards.

"Forget about washing dishes, I didn't even have to prepare the food myself. I've never been treated so well since I came to Shuangxi Restaurant. I was so bewildered that I actually sent Xiaowan to the Jia Mansion..."

Lin Qing sighed deeply in his heart.

This shopkeeper Hou really has good tactics!

When Yu Jia first came to Shuangxi Restaurant, he was targeted everywhere and could not fit into the so-called circle;

But ever since the news spread that Mr. Jia fell in love with his own daughter, his situation has changed drastically.

How can ordinary people withstand such psychological warfare!

What's more, even if Yu Jia was determined, how could he be sure that Manager Hou had no backup plan?

So at this point, it is meaningless to blame Yu Jia for not being able to resist temptation.

But this also made Lin Qing realize that Mr. Jia's network of contacts was really terrifyingly wide.

The sources of his concubines included people from poor and remote villages, as well as outsiders who could not integrate into Anping Town.

It is really despicable that they choose the disadvantaged groups with such a 'unique' vision.

What's even more terrifying is that he has such dirty tricks, and he has pawns like Manager Hou who are willing to manipulate people's hearts and play with their lives for him.

He is really an accomplice to the evil and has no bottom line!

It's so audacious and despicable!

Lin Qing couldn't help but slammed the table, and a classic three-character classic came out of his mouth.

Yu Jia suddenly heard the messenger of God speak so bluntly. He didn't know whether he should be frightened by her sudden anger or surprised that this fairy-like lady could actually swear. He looked at her in a daze and didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing that Gu Ermiao was also looking at her blankly, Lin Qing felt embarrassed and her face turned red.

How could he swear in front of the children!

"Ahem," Lin Qing explained hastily, "I'm just angry at the dirty and despicable tactics of Mr. Jia and his lackeys! He specifically targets people's weaknesses, and I'm afraid there are few people with the determination to resist temptation. So, Shopkeeper Yu, don't blame yourself too much."

Yu Jia felt even more ashamed to see that the envoy of God was so kind and was even comforting himself at such a time.

"Madam, there's no need to comfort an old man like me. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll still slap myself hard. If I... Never mind, let's not talk about this.

"Half a month later, Xiao Wan was sent to the Jia Mansion, but after that, she seemed to have lost contact with her family. I asked Shopkeeper Hou to inquire about the situation, and all I got was the news that my Xiao Wan was gone..."

Yu Jia covered his face in pain. Although he didn't cry out loud, his shoulders were shaking, and it was obvious that he was crying.

Lin Qing could see his turbid tears flowing through her fingers. She had never seen a man cry so bitterly in front of her before, and she felt that the sourness in her chest was almost overflowing.

Yu Jia wiped his tears and continued, "During that time, I went to the Jia Mansion almost every day, hoping that they would give me justice, but every time I was beaten by those guard dogs.

"Later, I was knocked unconscious again in front of the Jia Mansion. Old Madam Tang, who was visiting, took pity on me and sent someone to rescue me. She also introduced me to a housekeeper in the Jia Mansion.

"The housekeeper's surname is Chang. He's a kind-hearted man. He told me a lot of news and advised me not to be impulsive. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never lack firewood."

Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.

"Mrs. Tang?"

Could it be the sick master of Butler Liu?

Yu Jia knew that she seldom came to the town. Although he was an outsider, he knew more about these dignitaries than she did. So he explained responsibly:

"Madam, it's quite normal that you haven't heard of the Tang family. They are a wealthy family that moved to Anping Town within the past year. I heard they came from Kyoto."

He is from Kyoto, and his surname is Tang.

Then isn't this the person the Jia family wants to invite to the poetry gathering this time?

Shopkeeper Yu said with great emotion, "The Tang family is different from the Jia family. They are very kind people. With the introduction of Mrs. Tang, and because Brother Chang felt sorry for me, he revealed some information to me and persuaded me not to go to the Jia family to make trouble again, let alone go to the government to sue them. If I continue to make trouble, I am afraid that my family will be separated from me.

"At the time, I didn't believe that the Jia family could be so tyrannical as to kill people at will. You, Lord Divine Envoy, know the consequences..."

Lin Qing frowned more and more, thinking that if that was the case, the Jia family was truly lawless.

Do you have to wipe out a family before you can be free from worries?

After Yu Jia finished speaking, she felt that the depression in her chest dissipated a lot. She thought to herself that she was worthy of being the Lord Messenger of God. Just a few words from her could have such a miraculous effect!

"After hearing about my family's tragedy, Madam Tang sent her steward to visit and gave me some money. I didn't want to accept it, but Steward Liu said I had to find a stable job first. That way, whether I was secretly looking for evidence to sue the Jia family or starting a new life, I would have something to rely on."

Lin Qingxin said, it was indeed Butler Liu.

He was efficient in his work, and the old lady Tang behind him was even more thoughtful.

"It was with her support that I was able to set up this noodle stall."
