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

Boss Su felt that Su Zhizhi's scolding in front of so many people was a disgrace to him.

"I am your elder, and you, a junior, talk to me like this?" Boss Su retorted unwillingly.

Boss Su just snorted coldly and left without hesitation.

Boss Su felt in his heart that he was Su Zhizhi's elder, and Su Zhizhi would sooner or later succumb to the pressure and apologize to him. Thinking of this, Boss Su felt very proud.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Meng was terrified. She cautiously said to Su Zhizhi, "Zhizhi! Isn't it bad for you to treat your uncle like this? After all, he is your elder. If he does anything wrong..."

Before Meng could finish her words, she was grabbed by Su Yu. Su Yu winked at Meng frantically, signaling her not to say anything more. Seeing this, Meng quickly shut her mouth.

Su Zhizhi called the waiter over and comforted him privately before everyone continued to work. This time, without Boss Su getting in the way, everyone cooperated more tacitly and more efficiently.

After the busy lunch hour, everyone in the restaurant was free.

Head chef Liu San has been unhappy with Boss Su ever since he came, but he has always given Boss Su face because he is Su Zhizhi's uncle and has never complained to Su Zhizhi. Now that Su Zhizhi also dislikes Boss Su, he has no scruples anymore.

"Boss, I have something to report to you." Liu San said to Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi's sixth sense told her that this was definitely not a good thing and was most likely related to Boss Su. As soon as Liu San opened his mouth, it turned out to be just as she expected.

"This matter is about your uncle. Yesterday I saw him secretly taking some money before handing it to Boss Xie." Liu San said truthfully.

Su Zhizhi was furious when she heard this. These days, she basically didn't let Boss Su touch the money. But occasionally when business was busy and they didn't have time to collect the money, she asked Boss Su to help collect the money from a few tables. She didn't expect that even so, Boss Su still took advantage of the opportunity and pocketed the money.

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter and get the money back." Su Zhizhi promised solemnly.

Seeing this, Liu San didn't know what to say anymore, so he could only nod and agree, "Okay."

Just like that, Su Zhizhi told Xie Chengjin the whole story.

Xie Chengjin was furious when he heard this. "I didn't expect him to be so despicable and dirty."

After saying that, he looked at Su Zhizhi again, "So what do you decide to do?"

Su Zhizhi heard this and said without hesitation, "Of course he took my money and gave it to me. That was our hard-earned money. He didn't pay anything, so how could he have the nerve to embezzle our money?"

"Okay, then let's go to his house and get the money back." Xie Chengjin nodded and agreed.

In this way, the two of them took a carriage to Boss Su's house.

When Su Zhizhi and the other person arrived at Boss Su's house, they knocked on the gate without hesitation.

"Boom boom boom——"

The voice of the aunt came from the yard, "Who is it?"

As my aunt spoke, she opened the gate of the yard.

When the aunt saw that it was Su Zhizhi, she was immediately very happy, "Zhizhi! Why are you here today?"

At the same time, Boss Su, who had been in the room, immediately pricked up his ears when he heard the sound. When he heard that the person coming was Su Zhizhi, he was so proud. In his opinion, Su Zhizhi was regretting her decision and came to personally invite him back to the restaurant. Thinking of this, Boss Su couldn't help but smile.

However, Su Zhizhi saw that it was her aunt who opened the door, so out of courtesy she greeted her aunt, "Hello, aunt, where is my uncle? I have something to ask him."

"Your uncle is in the room." Auntie spoke quickly upon seeing this.

At this moment, Boss Su walked out of the room nonchalantly and looked at Su Zhizhi. "I'm here. What do you want to talk to me about?"

There was a hint of arrogance and disdain in Boss Su's tone.

After seeing Boss Su, Su Zhizhi could no longer suppress her inner anger. She quickly said to Boss Su, "Uncle, please return the public funds you embezzled yesterday. That was our restaurant's income."

When Boss Su heard this, he immediately felt guilty. He really didn't expect Su Zhizhi to be able to find out about this matter, but soon his attitude became justified. After all, he took it secretly and no one saw it.

Boss Su said confidently, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who took your public funds? Don't slander me. Besides, how did you become like this, you damn girl?"

"Liu San and the others are outsiders. I am your blood uncle. How can you be so shameless as to believe what they say?"

Boss Su insisted that he did not take it. After all, admitting such a thing would definitely be bad for his reputation.

When Su Zhizhi heard what Boss Su said, she felt completely disappointed.

"Liu San and the other waiters in our restaurant saw it, and they can serve as witnesses. The physical evidence is naturally the dress you bought. As far as I know, the fabric of your dress is extremely expensive, and most people can't afford it. The salary you asked my mother for an advance is definitely not enough. If you don't pay it back, I will report it to the police."

Su Zhizhi saw this and simply tore her face off.

After these words were spoken, although Boss Su tried his best to appear calm, his face was still visibly panicked.

Seeing this, the aunt beside her was confused. Based on her understanding of her husband, it was very likely that he had embezzled some of the money from the restaurant.

Seeing this, the aunt quickly pulled Su Zhizhi aside and asked quietly, "Zhizhi! Tell me how much money your uncle took from you! I'll pay you back."

"It's probably the effect of four or five taels of silver." Su Zhizhi said truthfully upon seeing this.

When the aunt heard this, she felt bad all of a sudden. These four or five taels of silver were a considerable income. If she kept it at home, it would be enough to cover their expenses for several months. But she couldn't not return it to Su Zhizhi. What if Su Zhizhi went to report to the police?

After thinking about it, the aunt said with a cruel heart, "Okay, I know. Wait a moment! I'll go into the house and get the money for you."

After saying that, the aunt went into the house and took out a gold hairpin from the bottom of the cabinet. This hairpin was worth about four or five taels of silver. It was her dowry and her favorite gold hairpin. She would never take this gold hairpin unless it was absolutely necessary.

"I'm giving this to you as collateral for the money your uncle took from you." After saying this, the aunt handed the gold hairpin to Su Zhizhi.

Su Zhizhi was too embarrassed to say anything more and could only say, "Thank you, Auntie. We're sorry for disturbing you today. We have other things to do, so we'll leave first."

After saying that, she took Xie Chengjin and left her aunt's house.

Su Zhizhi naively thought that the matter was over, but unfortunately, things were far more complicated than she had imagined.
