In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Even Meng's mother started to persuade him: "Okay, the most important thing is that we are all happy, so let's forget about it now."

After everyone's persuasion, Su Zhizhi didn't want to ruin the festive mood and could only let it go. She invited everyone to eat: "I'm so sorry for making such a big mistake. Let's eat more."

This restaurant not only has very few dishes, but the food is also extremely unpalatable. Su Zhizhi and the others endured all of this, if it weren't for Xiaonian who was determined to give them a good beating today.

"When will your brother arrive?" Seeing that all the dishes had been served, but Su Peizhi had not yet arrived, Meng's mother was vaguely worried.

"Don't worry, mother. He is on the way now." Su Zhizhi said that Su Peizhi would definitely arrive today, and he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere of family reunion.

At this time, Su Peizhi arrived outside the restaurant. After arriving at the door, the boss looked at him with tinted glasses and immediately stepped forward to stop the other party.

"No, you can't go in. I'm here to eat, not to beg for food." The boss stopped him with disdain and refused Su Peizhi entry because of his untidy clothes.

"I am your guest. How can you say I am a beggar? I am a guest in your Tianzihao Room." Su Peizhi was very angry. He had been busy in the granary all day and had no time to clean up, but someone called him a beggar. He started arguing with the other party on the spot.

"Hmph, you look so poor, how could you possibly know the guest in the No. 1 room? Get out of here right now." The boss didn't believe that Su Peizhi knew the distinguished guest at all, so he didn't even let him in and kicked him out directly.

This scene happened to be seen by the two people who came down to greet Su Peizhi.

"Stop!" Seeing that the boss was about to fight with Su Peizhi, Xie Chengjin and others appeared in time to stop them.

They saw everything that happened, and the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The two of them went to the restaurant owner to defend their rights. Su Zhizhi finally couldn't hold back her anger and argued, "It's okay for your restaurant to shortchange you on weights, but how can you even drive our customers away? You must give us an apology."

Su Zhizhi just wanted an explanation for Su Peizhi, just an apology, but the restaurant owner was unreasonable, "Humph, why should I apologize to you? Our restaurant's dishes are open to you, so why should he get in when he's dressed so poorly?"

Even though they knew Su Peizhi's relationship with them, they still refused to let him in because he was dressed too simply and was no one's guest.

Su Zhizhi didn't expect the boss to be so arrogant. She immediately flew into a rage: "You're really going too far. Believe it or not, I'm going to go to the authorities and expose you right now."

"Do you think you are qualified to touch me? If you have the guts, go ahead and sue me. I want to see what you can do to me." When the restaurant owner heard that Su Zhizhi was going to declare customs, he laughed instead. It was obvious that he was not afraid of Su Zhizhi. With the officials backing her up, he did not take them seriously at all.

"You'd better give up and stop fighting those officials. You can't beat them."

Many distinguished guests came to dine at the No. 1 Restaurant in the capital, and all the disputes they had were seen by the guests here. All of the guests here were well-known figures, and other dignitaries saw it and laughed at Xie Chengjin.

"We are under the rule of the emperor. There is no right to chase away customers. No matter who supports you, it doesn't matter." Xie Chengjin did not give in at all and fought hard to get back his rights as a consumer.

"Everyone, this restaurant not only drives away customers, but also shortchanges customers on weight. The dishes are awful. Please don't come here again. I recommend you go to a cheaper restaurant."

Xie Chengjin changed his mind. Knowing the principle of mutual protection among officials, he did not choose to report the incident to the police. Instead, he shouted at the entrance of the restaurant and recommended a more affordable restaurant to the guests.

Those customers never expected that this restaurant would be so deceptive. They slammed the table and left, and all went to Xie Chengjin's restaurant.

The restaurant owner was stunned by Xie Chengjin's words. He had never expected that with just one sentence from Xie Chengjin, all his customers would run away. The owner was completely dumbfounded. Afterwards, the restaurant owner admitted his mistake: "We were blind to the truth before. Please stop slandering our restaurant's reputation. We apologize and we will never do it again. It was all my fault. We will waive your order and give you a certain discount."

In order not to affect other customers, the restaurant owner could only swallow this loss and proposed to give Xie Chengjin a free bill. Xie Chengjin snorted coldly: There is no need for a free bill, just serve us a new table of dishes immediately.

The portions on this table were pitifully small, not enough for a family. The restaurant owner, fearing Xie Chengjin's authority, could only obey his orders, "Waiter, quickly serve new dishes to the guests in the Tianzihao guest room. This time, the portions must be generous."

"Come in quickly."

The boss made the biggest mistake this time. The restaurant, which was originally packed with customers, was suddenly deserted, resulting in huge losses. The boss deserved it all.

Su Zhizhi invited Su Peizhi into the box. The farce was over. Finally, Su Peizhi arrived and the family had a rare reunion.

“I wish you all prosperity and may all your dreams come true in the new year!”

At the dinner table, the family members expressed their blessings to each other, and the steaming hot meals reflected their happiness.

The time together made everyone very happy. Amidst the laughter and joy, Su Peizhi took the initiative to mention: "I have a very good idea. Next year, we will go to the south of the Yangtze River to survey the market. Then we can travel all over the country and gain more connections and benefits."

"I'm very touched that you are so ambitious. We all support you." Su Zhizhi gave her support and was relieved that Su Peizhi had finally grown up and become sensible.

"I'm really too full from today's food." The boss brought back enough food. Xu Miao touched his round belly and realized he was very full.

"Now that everyone is full, let's go home."

After the Little New Year meal, everyone had their fill and went home.

After the few people parted ways, Xie Chengjin took his family home in a carriage. Unexpectedly, during the ride, the horse suddenly went crazy and "for no reason" hit the door of a resident on the street.

The horse was galloping out of control. Su Zhizhi felt the turbulence around her and was terrified: "Oh no, the horse is out of control. Let's control it quickly."

The horse rushed around recklessly along the way, frightening the people around. There was also the elderly Meng Mu in the carriage, who could not hold on at all.

When Xie Chengjin saw this happen, he immediately chose to calm down.
