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

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi could only helplessly say, "Alright! Let's talk about finding that servant later! We're going to close for today. We need to check all the ingredients we prepared and make sure they are okay for customers before we open again."

Upon hearing this, Xie Chengjin nodded in agreement. Although they suffered heavy losses, it was still much better than deliberately selling food that caused diarrhea to customers.

If they didn't stop the loss in time, the result would definitely be worse. Compared with ruining the restaurant's reputation and cutting off their own retreat, they still knew which was more important.

Just like that, Xie Chengjin and the waiters hung a sign on the door saying "Temporarily closed today".

As a result, this behavior instantly caused dissatisfaction among many customers. It turned out that when Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin were investigating the food, it was already afternoon, which was the time when the people nearby finished their meals.

Before they knew it, many customers had come to the restaurant. However, they had just sat down for a while when the waiter came to clear them out. After a tiring day, they were very dissatisfied with this.

Su Zhizhi felt extremely guilty upon seeing this, and quickly instructed Xie Chengjin, who was standing beside her, "Don't we have watermelons in the kitchen that we brought back from the fields yesterday? Go and ask the cooks and waiters to help peel these watermelons, squeeze them into juice, and give it to the customers for free."

"Okay." Xie Chengjin nodded and hurried to do it.

After a while, fresh watermelon juice was ready.

Su Zhizhi quickly asked the waiter to distribute the food to everyone. As she did so, she explained to everyone, "I'm sorry, everyone. The stove in our restaurant's kitchen is broken today, so we can't cook for the time being. We're working hard to repair it."

"I hope you can understand. This is our homemade watermelon juice, free for everyone to try. It's perfect for cooling off in the summer heat. Please try it."

After this incident, the guests' anger had almost subsided. Seeing that they would not be able to have dinner at Laiyue Tower today, they left one after another.

Before leaving, many customers said that Su Zhizhi's watermelon juice was delicious and they would come to taste it tomorrow. Su Zhizhi was very happy to see this. It seemed that her original idea of ​​selling fruit juice was a very good idea, and today she had also tested the market prospects for her.

After sending the guests away, Su Zhizhi turned around and saw Su Peizhi walking out of the toilet with a weak face.

Su Zhizhi didn't know how to comfort him. After all, the person who gave him the laxative was targeting her, but she didn't expect that Su Peizhi would be the first to suffer.

"It will probably take some time for the doctor's medicine to take effect. Just be patient." Su Zhizhi could only comfort Su Peizhi.

Su Peizhi nodded with a grim face, "Okay." Then he lay weakly on the table, thinking secretly in his heart: If he could catch that damn waiter, he would definitely beat him up severely. It was he who made him become like this.

When Mrs. Meng saw Su Peizhi's appearance, she felt so distressed that she quickly got up and went to the kitchen to make a big pot of garlic salt water for Su Peizhi to drink to relieve his stomachache.

After checking all the food, Su Zhizhi was still a little worried. Her sixth sense told her that this was just the beginning.

Thinking of this, after much deliberation, she finally decided to go to the government with Xie Chengjin to report the case. This way, if something happened in the future, she would have someone to prove that she was framed. If they failed to achieve their goal this time, they would definitely not be willing to give up and there would definitely be a next time.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi looked extremely tired.

County government office.

The yamen runner looked at Su Zhizhi's familiar face with a slight surprise, "Why are you here? Do you have something to report?"

Su Zhizhi laughed and cried before explaining, "Your Excellency, I used to run a restaurant. But today at noon, my younger brother, who was attending school, came home. After eating my food, he started having stomach pains. After a doctor examined him, they found that he had been given a laxative."

"After my brother came back, he didn't eat anything else but the food prepared by our restaurant's chef. After the doctor examined the food, he found that the food in our kitchen had been poisoned with laxatives."

Su Zhizhi explained the whole story to the yamen runners.

The yamen runner frowned upon hearing this. "Are you saying someone put laxatives in the kitchen of your restaurant?"

Su Zhizhi nodded quickly, "Yes, that's what I mean."

"Who could it be? Have you checked your kitchen staff?" asked the constable.

Su Zhizhi quickly shook her head and denied it, "It's not them, because I treat them very well on a daily basis, and they are all grateful people. They would never do anything to hurt me like this."

"A few days ago, a man came to my house and said he wanted to be my temporary worker. But when something went wrong, he disappeared without a trace, and he didn't even get paid. I suspect another restaurant deliberately sent him to discredit our restaurant."

Su Zhizhi analyzed the situation to the other party seriously.

"Okay, don't worry, we will send someone to investigate this matter seriously and give you a satisfactory result." The yamen runner looked at Su Zhizhi very seriously and promised.

Hearing the yamen runners say this, Su Zhizhi finally felt relieved. "Okay, thank you for your hard work, yamen runners."

Two days later.

The yamen runners came to Su Zhizhi's restaurant, and after an investigation by the government, they finally found out the whole story.

It turned out that after Su Zhizhi's family opened a restaurant, the Liu family's restaurant business was not so good. For this, Mr. Liu was dissatisfied and deliberately used tricks behind the scenes to retaliate against Su Zhizhi and others, which led to the current scene.

However, the government did not arrest Mr. Liu because he had already heard that Su Zhizhi had reported the case to the authorities, so he bribed the county magistrate with a large sum of money the night before. The county magistrate then turned a blind eye to the case.

Although the county magistrate no longer cared about the matter, some yamen runners felt guilty about it, so they had to tell Su Zhizhi the truth.

Su Zhizhi was extremely excited when she saw the yamen runners coming. She immediately surrounded them and asked, "Brother yamen runner, is there any new progress in the case? Have you found out who is responsible?"

The bailiff nodded, then looked around and said, "There are too many people here, it's not the right place for us to talk. Let's find a place where no one will disturb us."

Su Zhizhi was slightly stunned when she heard the voice, then nodded and brought the yamen runners to a private room upstairs.

Su Zhizhi, Xie Chengjin and the other two yamen runners sat quietly beside the table. They looked at each other, and the silence suddenly became a little scary. The atmosphere also seemed particularly weird.
